There is to be a reduction in the home and colonial establishments of about 7,500 men, and an increase in India of 14,000 men. The total amount required is £13,508,000, being a decreage of about £10,000 upon last year, Tue whole im- perial force will be 220,000 men, of whom 106,000 con- etitute the Indian establishment. The reduction in the army at home was considered indicative of the British government's faith in the maintenance of poace. ‘There were rumors of changes in the Derby Cabinet. ‘It was saia that the Lord Chancellor will soon retire and undertake the chief baronship of the exchequer—Lord ‘Kingsdown or Mr. Cairns succeeding to tbe woolsuck; that General Pee! will resign the war gecretaryship; and that Sir E, B. Lytton will be socceeded in the colonial depart- ment by Mr, Gladstone—Lytton being raised to the peerage. In the House of Commons, Mr, Headlam gave notice ‘that he should shortly move a resolution that no new con- Stitution chould be granted to the Jonian Islands until that Bouse had first had an opportunity of pronouncing an opi- ion upon it. In the House of Commons, on the 15th ultimo, Lord Clarence Faget asked what were the intentions of the go- ‘ernment in regard to guarantees or subsidies to telegraph companies having for their object communication with America and other dependencies. The Chancellor of the Exchequer gaid the principles that the government haye adopted with regard to grafiting subsidies or gnarantees ty any updeytaklug of the kind referred to by the noble and gallant officer, is this—not to grant unconditional guaran. tees. In the Commons, on the 16th ultimo, the Atiantic Telegraph Company’s bill was withdrawa, but leave was given to bring in another biil to aller and amond the acts relating to the Atlantic Telegraph Company, and to enale the company to raise additional capital and for other purposes. 7 The London Zimes of the 16th ultimo contains a very strong article on the war question, again assorting Eng- land’s neutrality and observance of treaty rights, and advising Sardinia of the dangers of her policy. ‘The London Post of the 18th ultimo denounces our poli- Wea! morality , on the ground that Mr. Jeffersou Davis, as it ascerte, lately stated thet a European war would be for ug to obtain Cuba. ‘The Czar had tsaued a ukase defining a system of government for the settlement on the Amoor river.

My last recorded a more pacific state of the political barometer, the exact reasons for which, however, appear- ed to me very difficult ty assign; nor had I any great con- fidence in its duration, The wind, indeed, yery soon changed, and the horizon seems quite as gloomy as ever. All securities remain deprorged. Trade is in a perfect etate of etagnation. The military speak of war as certain, and the bowrgeoisie begin to believe it more than possible. M. Girardin’s pamphlet, crotebetty paradoxical and sui generis as it is, has certainly done nothing to clear away the mist which envelops the future. The former editor of the Preste represents a vast section of the French mind, and his strange speculations, stamped with bis authority, constitute no mean feature in the existing political phase. That be should gay anything in disparagoment of the ‘Sardinian policy just now, known as he is the sworn inti- mate and political counsellor of Prince Napoleon, is not a Uttle strange; but that he,a member of tho Peaceful Con- grees, should talk of France and Russia tearing up the treatios of Vionna,and, for the benefit of mankind, dividing the world between them—England nobly setting the example by dismantling Gibraltar, Malta, Oorfu, Aden and Perim—is still more strange and paradoxical. M. Emile de Girardin, in fact, ie of opinion, with regard to France—as was the Great Duke of Wollington with rogard to England—that #he ought to have no “little war,” that 40 Italian campaign would prove such. If war it must be, Jet it be after the programme sketched in les ldées Napo- Ueonnes, nn‘ be for the revenge of Waterloo, &c., &c, Th» result of itall being that M. Emile has no objection, in spite of his peaceful principles, to have a war. It ia aid that there is a rent in the Imporial Cabinet, and that Fould, Walewski and another will disappear from it It Js likewise said that the Emperor has alrealy had somo sharp altercation with his cousin, Princo Napoleon, not ‘only on the speech made at Genoa by the latter, but on the very positive language held by bim to the cabinet at Turin. ‘You havo pledged me beyond your instructions, ‘my counin,” was the Emperor's observation on the morn- ig of the last projected ball at the Tuilerics, Whore. pon his cousin flew into a towering passion, and at 0 « o'clock P. M. ‘® message came from the Palais Royal to say Mat none of tho Jerome party would honor the palace with their company. Tho Emporor declared himsolf #0 out of heart and spirits altogether that he, too, could not face his lieger, and therefore the Empress alone was proxont todothe honore. Another version of the story is, that the Menporor, in conswjvence of the return of hig usual mata MORNING EDITION—TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1859. PRICE TWO CENTS. dy in his Jeg, had epplied a blister, and, when riding in the morning, contrived to rub it, and that, although @ressed for the ball, the pain he suffered was so great that it was impossible fer him to be present. Great disappointment was of course felt at the agsence of the Princess Clothilde, The impression her Imperial Highness made at the opening of the Chambers was sufll. ciently in her favor-o excite more than ordinary curio. sity. Her youthful years—and, after all, youth is beau- ty’s greatest charm—-ctood the biaze of sunlight better than the Empress, for whom the gorgeous salon and the midnight chandelier ere better suited. Then began to Tave about ber Titian hair, her Italian complexion, fair as @ Georgian’s and-velvety as Ansonia’s most favored child; but further experience has ascertained that the young Princess hag really no pretensions whatever to the patm of beauty beyond her youthfulness. Her pro- file is bad, and her figure is yet a mere angular skeleton. The general expression of her features is rathor dis- agreeable, and her salutation stiff! and free from grace. It appears that she has been brought up in the most childlike seclusion, and that of the world inte whieh she is thus sudden- ly launched she has not the remotest conception. She is said to be of a devout turn of mind, and a chapel i in process of erection in the Palais Royal, near her pri vate chamber. A8 yet old Jerome is her chaperon in visit ing the beauties of Paris, and has, indeed, specially taken her under his charge. It js also ssid that the venerable beat pére made a point of tho Emperor ‘and Empress going down to Fontainebleau to receive bis son and daughter-in- Jaw, but that the Fmperor’s Cabinet represented that such a condescension was entirely infra dig. It is difficult te avoid feeling some compassion for the Kimperor in his relations with his uncle and his family. It waa but yesterdsy that this same uncle, uader fayor of Lowis Philippe, was living in very humble lodgings in ihe Chumps Elyaies, a pensioner of the King of Wurtemberg, whose sister be had married. No man was more per- fectly bankrupt in purse and character than the ex King. Bis Gets of honor were never paid. His gambling trans- actions were so contemptible that he condesceuded to the dewest arts, and his relations with the other sex were thase of #-debauchee of the vilest order. Suddenly, by no mesit or yeusure of his own, he has become a fy in am- Der. Palaces, retinues, equipages and countless wealth furromnd him; aod for the gencrous band that las con- jured up such’a path of roses for bis deciining years he as nought but suers, exorbitant demands and ingrati- tude. Priace Napoleon, bis son, is a grossly injured man if he does not greatly resembte his sire tu all things. Turn, wherever you will, you hear but the sume story. This will account for the coolnoes of nis reception on Monday last, when, together with bis bride, he was invited to a ball at the Hote! de Ville, such being the grand civic honor which the municipaiities bestow on all the great princes and potentates of the epoch. . The Princess Clothilde was dreesed in a rose colo*d silk, shot with gold, with flowers in her hair, flye rows ot pearis on her neck, aud a line of large diamonds and eme- Tals edging the upper part of her corsage. That magni. ficent edifice, the Aotel de Ville, with its gorgeous rooms, all redolent of crimson and gold, was converted into & palace of the faries, flowers and fountains, paintings nd statuary, mirrors, Gobbelin tapestry and gilken fau- tonils set in gold, wooing the guest at cvery turn, Tho young imperial ‘bride surveyed all with the calm of an judian® who Siges herself for the first time confronted with civlization. The quadrille was thus formed: the Princess Clotbilde aud Barou Haagsman; the Prefet of the Seine and host of the Rotel de Ville; Princess Mathilde and Bargn Hubner, the Ausirian ambassador; Princess Anna Murat and M. Delangle, Miniater of the Interior; the Marquiso dg Villa Marina and the Sardinian Minister. In a scooud (und riite this sesame eo with M. Delangle, and Prince Napoleon with Madame Haaseman. While making the tour of the rooms ebe walked by the side of the Princess Mathilde, but it was obeerved that Prince Napoleon at no time gave her bis hand or arm. The party, which remained about two hours, paused bo- fore leaving, to cast a coup d’eil over the maguilicent building—unequalled, in fact, in Europe—and admire the beautiful borseshoo staircase in the court of Louis XIV., with its statues of white marble and its long range of pearl- hke lamps rumnipg up the sides. Tho assemblage was estimated at gomcthing like 8,000. Certain jeue demots were let off sub roca at the Prince’s expense. JI s’allie dla Sardatgne ig ono.

Causa, although the date of that reunion is not yet fixed, It is supposed it will take place as soon as Fuad-Pacha can arrive in Paris.

DANUBIAN QUESTION, {Correspondence to the Nord.} Bexuix, Feb. 12, 1859. Soon the offuir of Italy will enter ona new sphore. Diplomacy is actively at work on an arrangement for Central Italy, The cabinets of Berlin and St. James Preach incessantly peace and conciliation. Austria knows that it jg Vienna that stops all interference of Pruseia us great European Power; as to what Prussia intends doin, 8s a member of the German Confederation, it may ba said to be in every respect in conformity with the national Honor. Since ‘the firet day that the Italian question was Drought up, I told you that neither Prussia. nor Germway would in ariy way’ interfere in a struggle beeen Austria ard Maly, but at the same time that they couid not look on with inditierence should France intervene. The Ger- man people eco a great danger for Eyrope in general by Buch interfercoce, and the people, the public opinion, likewise the ropregentatives of the’ country, must over Weigh their governments, | Bul fortunately, eventualities of this nature svom to be less probable; and Iam assured that neither the German governvoents, nor the Diet of Frankfort, will take apy measures that would have the character of a renewal of mistrust or provocation. But the question of the Fast still exists, and will undoubtedly be brought before the Conference of Parig, when the affair of the double election of Mr, Cana will be examined, The only alternative which can possibly present itself is either that the con- ference will recognise the validity of the election or they will annul jt. In the first case the union wjll exist, or the conferepoe will anuul the election and add to the conyen- tion an additional clause. What means have they to im- pose on the Principalities from a will which is not their ox! Us it the twenty battalions, of which Rttem Pacha can dispose of, which cannot cross the Danube without the consent of Europe? Is it the collective intervention of the Towers? Let them show now what are the means to be employed to stifle the national sentiments of that country, THE COBGURGS AND THE WAR QUESTION. (Correspondence of the Nord. Bunun, Feb. 15, 1859.

The official and diplomatic world, siuce the Inst three daye, seem very much pre-ocoupied and thoughtful, and tne auruian Albassador, Baron Kailer, is this day in a very bad humor. Notwithstanding what the Austrian press may say, the Italian question still exists, and must de discussed and set tled by diplomatic influence as mach as possib'e. At this moment the question seems in a fair way of being arrang- od, butshould the diplomatic negotiation fail, neither Eng land nor Prussia will assist Autria against Haly, The Court Buoi must heve already received communications on that head which will admit of no mitake.

TRE EFFORT TO PATCH UP A PEACE. (From the Verlin Gazette. Sineo the beginning of th's year the pabliz opinion in Ea- rope has been disturbed by the fear of seeing the peace troubled. ‘The effects of that foar bave been ofserious consequence to the industry and commerce of {hose coun- from spreading into a general conflagration. The reply of Baron Schleimitz, the Minisier of Foreign Affairs, was couched in a firm, but conciliatory tone. Carefully avoiding ‘any expression that might be construed infoa pledge of non. | interference, he contented himself with stating that in the opinion of his government the difficulties between the two Powers are not euch as to necessitate an immediate ap- peal to arms, and offering the services of Prussia to effect an understanding by peaceful nogotiation, At the same time a note was despatched to Vienna, pointing out.to Coant Buol that though the Austrian dominion in Lombardy ant Venice was guaranteed by the treaties of 1815, their occupy tion of Central Naly wos neither sanctioned by international Taw nor conducive to the tranquillity and well betng of that country and its inhabitants—that France ia justified io her desire to put an end to the anomalous state of things creat- e4 by the presence of her troops and those Of Austria beyond the frontiers of their respective empires, and that both considerations of justice and a due regard for the Peace Of Durope required an arrangement to be entered into for that purpose, in which Pruasia would co-operate to the best of her ability. The Austrian diplomatists were rather taken aback by this communication, as they had been working hard for the last six weeks to bring about a defensive alliance with Pruesia, and had instructed their organs to aseert boldly that euch an alliance bad actually been concluded; at first, therefore, they seemed inclined to demur, especially as they were still in hope that the intrigues carried on by them with some of the petty German courts related to the royal family of Prussia would produce a change in the attitade assumed by this government, of whose political consistency expe- rience bus certainly given them no reason to form a very ae idea. A day or two after the receipt of Baron Schleimitz’s note, however, @ similar despatch was re ceived from Lord Malmesbury, and the cabinet of Vienna could not but perceive that to refuse concessions advised by the two most friendly of the great Powers would be to run the risk of complets isolation. As long as Austria confined hereelf to the defence of her Italian provinces, she had law, if not justice, on her side; but by craftily shifting his point of attack to ber occupation of Central Italy, Louis Napoieon has deprived her of the vantage vound which secured her the moral support of gland and Prussia, and reduced her to the necessity of yielding—at least in appearance. At the conferences of 1860, and afterwarde, she invariably declined to enter into auy discussion of the “Italian question,” declaring that no foreign Power hada right to meddle with it, and the governments of the Peninsula, including Austria Lereelf, were quite competent to deai with their owa at- faire. Now she conzcnte to tho European Convention being conyoked expressly for the purpose of deliberating on that Guestio vewata; and she appears us a dependent—almost as & culprit—before its tribunal. dt is by no means improbable that a concession so re- volting to the traditional pride of Hapsburg is no: owing entirely (0 the representations of Prussia and Great Britain; it may bave been partly extorted by motives of a demonstration. The Austrian press is subject to a censor- tbip £0 mercilessly rigid that it cannot afford the slightest ivaight into the state of public opinion in that empire; it May utter as much patriotic fastian as it pleases, abuse despotism in France and applaud it at home, but it must not ay u word about the measures taken by yovernment or the impression they make upon the pcople, The cabinet noir, too, is at great pains to prevent any expres- on of feeling from penetrating beyond tho bounds of ,ustrian territory: but yet suflicieat Jeaks out now and thc? to si¥w that the events of 1848 are not uite forgotten, and that in spite of martial Jaw Dd police espionage, there is a broad that: only requires a apark to A private letter from Vieats pub- Viehed a few days sinod in the Berlin Possische 2 and which beara every mas Of authenticity, asks goverbment can expect the pooprd fight for the preser Vation of the empire when the systens Dursued for the Jast ten years bas been euch as to disgust ail claczes of society, from the highest to the lowest,“ Austel ys the correrponcent, “always bas been and 1s atiil aa axgre- ale of different countries aod nationalities, neitber w uted io lavguage nor in manners, and only agresing in vicir oppesition to the system of bureaucratic contratization that has. been establighed on the ruins of the ancient con- stitutions of the various provinces.

It would not, therefore, eurpris if her apparent spirit of concession were not soon to acquire for her in that country a character of injured innocence. On the pari of this country there 1s some talk of a manifesto being addressed (0 all Eoropcan Powers to the tune of “not fearing war, but intense anxiety for peace.” The Emperor is indeed especially desirous of keep ing up his part of the mystery, and yesterday the Pi received a warning for a rab'd article “sur Vilalie, the burden of y is “To arms, to arms!’ on the ground that M. Leonzon le Duc’s remarks sur la cote Jtalienne was calculated to trouble men’s minds with un. founded apprensions. Bat every day furnishes instances of renewed warlike preparations. Fresh troops are con. tinually arriving at Marseilles from Algiers. The arsenals are at work ni ie and day, and the faith of all men con necied with either military service is strong as Holy Writ in an impending conflogration. It is rumored that M.

A compa- ny, it is said, has been already formed for the purchase and building on a large tract of land composing the Che- min de Ronde, the octroi and all, and a part of the outer Boulevards. On this space as many as 15,000 houges can be built, which would immediately be inhabi- ted, and serve enormously to reduce the present high rents of the capital, The Hotel de Ville was in some danger A fire broke out in the cellar of the jour which a calorifére was placed.

You will perceive that the view I took of the caso in my last correspondence was just, Austria will come for- ward with propositions for the evacuation of Central Italy.

This view of the case on the part of Aus tria is most fortunate, as it gives hopes of a paciflc ar. rangement of all existing difliculties. Certainly itis not problem easy of solvtion to fad means of ceasing the military occupation of Italy; yet the problem may be solved, This occupation, it is true, is not in contradiction with the treaties, but ie not ordained by them. Should every one work to obtain this reeult we have not the least doubt they will succeed; for it is evident that no Power—not even Austria—can wish to see continued longer the pregent state of affairs ia Central Italy. To arrange this situation in a way that the governments of the Peninsula may maintain order at home without the mterference of foreign troops, would certainly be a work m conformity with the interests of all partics. Certainly we eee every guarantee, in the discourse of the Emperor Napoleon, that any advance made by Austria wil be received in Paris on the same conciliating terms aé it was dictated. On the other hand, we have not the Jeast doubt that the Prussian and igh governments will persist in their efforts, as they have already done, to coneniate ali diificulties, and will accept the mission to set- te all just griefs remaining at the same time in the limits of the cxieting treaties. When we constier the sentiments of justice and loye of peace which have dictated the con- duct of him who presides over the destinies of Rusa, and of which he has given proofs, we are led to hope that he Cabinet of St. Petersburg will not refuse his assist. ance to Prussia and England in this affair. There is, therefore, every reason to hope that, gocing the activity and good will of the great Powers, we shail conserve that peace, the yalue of which is ouly appreciated when the horrore ot war have left in ita train ruin and dessolation. —n3 they always and that although to Italy, that is no Our Berlin Correspondene: Barun, Feb. 16, 1850. The New Paris ConferenceThe Halian and Danubian Questions—The Efforts of Prussia to Preserve Peace—In- ternal Condition of Austria not Favorable to War—LHealth Gf the King—Arrival of Rarey, de., de. Tt is settled now that both the italian question and that of the Danubian Principalities are to be submitted to the decision of a new Congress, which is to meet in Paris without delay. Whether it will succeed in removing the humerous stumbling blocks that are in the way of a por. manent reconciliation between the great Powers is indeed more than doubtful, and I believe there are few whoaro sanguine enough to expect so desirable a consummation; but, at any rate, it gives people a little breathing time. The hostilities that appeared on the point of breaking oa bave been postponed for an indefinite period, and it is no actually beyond the limits of probability that something may turn up inthe interim to prevent them altogether. The more pacific aspect of affairs is mainly due to the ex. ertions of the Prussian government, who have displayed in this instance atact and judgment, the wantof which rendered thelr equally well meant endeavors during the late Oriental crisis so utterly nugatory, Their con- duct deserves the more credit from their having to resist on the one band the clamor of the Austrian and pbilo-Austrian press which bad raised a fic. Litious excitement by confounding the rule of the Croats in Italy with the maintenance of the honor and integrity of Germany ; while on the other, any symptom of irritation on their part would have encouraged tho aggressive ten dencies that characterize the poliey of the French Rm- peror. About the beginning of this month a communication was addressed to the Court of Berlin by M. de Moustier, tho envoy of Louis Napoleon, adverting to the prospect of a breach with Austria, protesting that France was actuated, not by ambitious motives, but merely by a generous interest in the wellare of Italy, aud inquiring, in guarded terme, whether the noutrallly of Pruseia could be de pended upon, which would provent # strictly local war eS Cre nah hk.” < Sebo a EERE eee ae ianie th elitice SORSDEE +) 2 is no proof become to intense that sooner or later it must be d.

NAPOLEON TO CONSULT ON THE FERLING IN GER- MANY—OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION OF HIS SPEECH 70 THE LEGISLATURE—WAR PREPARATIONS CON- TINUED—A LARGE CAMP TO BE FORMED AT TOU- LON—THE BOURSE A LITTLE IMPROVED. ‘The news from Paris is dated on the 17th ultimo. A correspondent of the London ‘mes says that the French envoys at Munich, Wurtemburg and Casse! had been sent for to confer with the Emperor, it was pre- sumed on the state of public opinion in Germany. The Minister of the Interior had addressed a confiden tial cireular to the profects of departments, conveying the officis! interpretation they are to give to the Emperor's speech on opening the session, as it become the sub- ject of contradictory commentaries. The Minister eays the Fmperor’s policy is, that while denouncing war wit Out legitimate motive as impossible, his Majesty will not recoil from war if his honor commands it, or if there arises one of those causes for which in all times France has been nthusiastic, because war is then a necessity. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Times says the waruing given to La Presse was owing to the complaints of tho Papal Nuncio in Paris. The London Herald's correspondent says that a camp of one hundred thousand men is to be formed at Toulon by the end of March. ‘The Paris Bourse on the 16th ultimo opened weak, but closed firmer. Onthe 17th the warning givento Ja Presse gave rige to an advance of about 44 per cent; but this advance Was not fully maintained. “On the 18th uit. the market opened flat and lower, but improved, and the three per cents closed steadily at 68 for money and account.

Fxtreme dulnese prevailed to-day throughout the Stock Exchange. Tho continued armament iv France, and the absence of any recovery on the Paris Bourse, contributed to check all tendency to animation. The funds, however, closed as good as yesterday, a reduction of +f per cent which took place towards the middle of the day, proving merely temporary. Salea in preparation for the Indian loan appear to have been effected to some extent, yet without prejudicing the market. With the exception of the fudian Railway shares the other markets were heavy. Further large sales of Lombardo-Venetian shares, 00 orders from Vienna, had considerable ellect upon the stock market generally. The discount market was rather more active, but the best bills were freely taken at 21 and even 2 por cunt. The operations in gold at the Bank to-day were unim- portant. The steamer Ceylon wil! take out on the 20th instant £175,281 in specie for the East, all silver except 2,365 eovereigns.

Paper on Holland was likewise quoted more favorable for this conntry. [From the Mbinchester Guardian (city article), Feb. 19.) Dulness and distrust seem to increase, aud the stock market bas been heavy throughout the day, although there bas been no fresh news. Console were first quoted 9534 a 9532, and they declined on some speculative sales to 954g a 953;, at which they have remaiaed to the close. THE DANUBIAN QUESTION. The News says the cloud in the south of Europe is dark and threatening, lut the clouds in the East are big with tem posts, and unleas Austria, who sends ber cayeat against discussion of I'alian wrongs, be persuaded to hold her peace on Roumain rights, it is not improbable that the solu- tion of the Italian question may be transferred from Rome to Milan, to Jessy or Bucharest. THE INDIAN LOAN. ‘The London Times cays a rumor bas been circulated that ‘the rew Indian loan of £7,000,000 will be in the form of 44 per cent debentures, redecmable in ten years, and to be esued at par. It is scarcely probable, however, that the ren} terms will be allowed to transpire until they are for- mally advertised.
