Paxts, Jan, 31, 1868, The Sonate have voted upon the Army bill, and the result goes to prove I was quite correct in asserting that the administration need acarcely take the pains to have Gebdates and the ke retarding the measures it advocates or proposes. The vote in the Benate stood thus:—-For, 125; against, 1; majority, 124 ‘Is may prove interesting, under the circumstances, to give the name of the ome voter having the courage to ‘oppose the bill in question, Monsieur Michael Chevalier, the well known political economist, is the party, as the Yellowing short speech made by him in the Senate chamber will prove, Ho said:— I speak sgamat this bill, although you are all ap- parently in favor of #t, (Lavghier.) I ‘ove my country and desiro ito crextness and prosperity, but Iam of ‘opivion that the law of 1892 is sufficient to secure these. Yue nations of Europe are at the present moment animated with the most friendly feelings towards each other. The whole current of events tends to unite them im the bonds of peace, and therefore no aggression 18 to be feared by us, As to Germany, France ought long since to bave renounced being the arbiter of Europe, a8 England wisely and non iy bas dove; and the grow ing power of the United States ought to be taken into account, Why, theo, should not the nations of this continent exist toge:ber without rivairy? Let us exbort the gveroment to resume firmly its original programme, PEmpive c'est la paix! You will observe that the opening remarks of Mr. on the part of the authorities, So we may conclude that the cemetertes will not be pes, gas As matters whch disturb the easily alfrighted parties bere, who think there must be war ére long, I may call your attention to the fact that in Algeria the troops which were stationed in the interior are gradually marchiog to the Coast. As these soldiers move with bag and baggage, it is thought here they will ere long be foand on the banks of Rhine, It may be that the movement question pr’ from the lack of food im the interior, though it would seem that owing to the disorders which take place in Algeria—in the remotest provinces more es- pecialiy—the Presence of troops 13 more than ever necessary there, Perhaps the Garde Nationale is to re-, place the soldiers who were in Africa; in which case y‘ jy may imagine the feeiings of the latter when they are mace acquainted with their future destination. ‘The Prussians have added considerably to the fortif-yations of the town of Manheim and enormously to thor of the bridge and town of Kebl, which is now said to'ye one of the strongest piaces in Europe, An entrenchet, camp has siso been made by the Prussians in the Brack Forest. noasures are not considered of the most peaceful nature, aud as the western towns of France are being likewise strengthened and armed dofenAvely the peace- tut assurances of the official and sewwt-official journals, to Say the least, seem at variance with 1acts, Suill it may be that, as Margbal Ntel asserted, the feeling that one is powerful is likety to render one peaceful. It is strange how greatly the other Powers of Europe tear Russia, Thus, the moment it became somewhat apparent that the Czar fad hostile intentions in the East, France, England and Prussia seemed to forget their own plots and plaus in order to beap upon Russia all mavner of abure aud warning. Is it that the four Powers sup- pose the course of that enormous and steadily increasing nation must be stopped at all hazards because it mo- "haces them, or is it simply from motives of envy, of Jealousy, that all cry out the moment Russia makes a step towards turkey? It actually seems now as though another coalition against the Czar might have been formed had not the official journals of St. Petersburg adopted peaceful tone, As it is, it may more than likely happen that the premature demonstra- tons made by the Czar in the Hast wll act as a damper upcn France and Prussia, these latter Powers under- standiog, no doubt, that the moment they commence hostilities between themselves Russia would be free to carry out ber policy of aggrandizement inthe East It ig but the moral influence of the above named nations whico can restram the ¢ He cannot fear Englund. She could do nothing against bim singly, and Austria 18 out of the ring so tar a3 all wars save the defensive may be concerned, This being tha case, peace is more likely nw than it was, The eagerness of Russia alarmed France and Prassia, and they may abide a more favor- abic opportunity for the strugzie between themselves, which is deemed here inevitable. Itisno longer a matter of doubt that the Pope ts on somewhat loss pleasant terms than he was with th Emperor Napoleon, This arises from the fact that the jatier has caused it to be perfectly understood at Rome that tho Bourbon plots were pow discovered, and hence were but little hikely to succeed. It is niso added tuat the Papal authorities were warned against any overt meddiing tu tuis aflair, As regards Austria and the Pope, uot the slightest favor is shown to the latier by Chevalier provoked the merriment of the Senators. Partleu! sppolnted as they are, these dignitari@s must met be expected to do more than voteas the government de:ires, and doubtless they think Monsieur Cheval er ratoer naif to express even the slightest doubt upon the subject. His remarks concerning the governing power ef the Uniled States must have created some annoy- anee, as there can be no doubt that France views with no favorable eye the porehases being mado by Mr. Seward of landing points hither and thither, Some of tie Frevch jouraals notice this in a rather captious spirit, 1% being apparently altogether wrong for the United States to aggrandize. The Paris journals, while recording the vote of the Senate, make vo comments thereupon, and as they ob- served the same course apropos of the debate in tho Legislative Assembly, it is said that both of these bodies of the Stato are annoyed thereat. In fact, if the jour- nals cease making resumés of the “discourecs in the Chamb»rs, the public, Who never wade through the long and so often dreary recaprtulations of each aay’s sit tuug, will soon lose sight altogether of the deputies of ‘the Senators, and these persovages will be the first to regret this. Yesterday afternoan, when the evening journals were brought into tbe reading rooms of the Corps Logiziatif, the members openiy expressed their anpoyance at nding that the writers tor the press ignored their proceedings even when so important a subject as the pew Press law was the matier treated in ‘be Chambers. In order that some measures may be greed upop which shall set all this aright certan members of the press and ceriain deputies met this mwrning in the oilice of the Sidcle, It is hoped here, bewever, that tho journals will continue to act in this manoer until some definite regulations may be arrived at—sucb as will make it possible for the journalists to know what they may or may not say, and such as will relieve tuem from oppressive interference, Aprepos of the above, it is rumored here that a chan; #f \ipisiry will soon take place. Monsieur Finard, the — bearer of the portfolio of the Interior, 1 to me Minister of State, It is said that M. Rouber is tatigued, worn out ; in abort, that he will gladly c up ‘the difficult post of government Speaker and that who is sharp, decisive and very bold, will replace bim admirably. Of course 1 do not confirm ‘these rumors, | merely cite them. The Marquis de Moustier, Minister of Foreivn Affairs, i aleo to be re- placed and eur de la Vallette is spoken of ag his The alarmisis sec in these contemplated ‘obanges preparations for the assumption of a uew policy on the part of this government; bus as regurds the Ministry of the Interior a more apparent reason for a is the unpopularity of M. Pinard. In bis campaign against the press he has gone somewhat too far to render it possible tnat ‘the journaliste of Paris should ever make peace with bim, and the Emperor Napoleon, who appre- ciates the power and infiuence of whe press, would doubtless ike to inaugurate a new ggime in this matter, At is said that M, Pinard in dealing with the editors was too drm, too appareaotly ready to meot attack; tm short, ‘that he acted 1 euch @ manner as to cause it to be un- @erstood that while he directed the Department of tho Intenor it would ‘fight the pross,”” Spite of the great pewer of the Minisier the contest is unequal. The jour- Balists can make telling hits ip the most mellowed ac- successor. cents, In their apparent praise the deepest, the most entiing irony may lurk, and, @ la da >, this tells against the parties thus sssalled, &® M. Pinard, whois to far compromised to retreat, will doubtles be replaced ei the Interior, In the Chambers he wili be of greater service to the government. As I said above, be is a ood spoaker—iess violent and more eloquent than M, naher, althongh quite as bold. The latter seems to tab himseif into almost a state of fury when he speaks ; tence that sudden and now famous “Italy hail ver seize Rome,” which is perhaps the real cacse of the contemplated removal of the Minister. M. Pinard, on the contrary, is cold nod air, and such people generally are ali the more capable efaetroggic. He speaks sharply, incisively. but with apparent command over hims-if. At the bar thee were his chief characteristics, and it is supposed that in tho tribune he wii! appear to the utmost advantage, It is not known as yet who will succeed M, Pinard at the luterior. Several profects and eub-vrefects are named, Dot the matter is one so entirely of conjecture that it is ‘wbnecessary to report the names here. The Emperor Will doubtless select some person with whom the press has had no quarrels and against whom there are thus norancuns, The vew Minister mast have a clear feld to carry out the new laws on the press, to be voted for m a few days at the Chamber, where tue matter is even ow under discussion. Iam assured that tho Emperor Will see that according to his ideas as expressed on the 1%b g@ January, 1866, the press of shal! for the futuro be less restrained. He allowed those who, loss than himeeif, understand tho power of the press, to use restrictive measures during the past year, These were not succesful, aod I am as sured that, spite of the Wersigny letter and the late press condemnations, his Majes;y ‘Rew era for journaliem shall commence. suaded that such @ measure will disarm the more hostile {and increase tbe support of the well affected journals. Ho that as it may, nope can doubt tbat some change in the relations between the French press and the govern- ment js imperative, aud the sooner it takes place the ester will It be for the weifare of the latter. It is an- nonaced that M. de Persigny bas distributed to the Deputies copies of his late letter ip the press. It is to be Roped that his arguments will not influence the Chambe: Iv ts strange how persistently parties in power cling to any measure which they originate, be it wise or un ‘Wise. it seems to suffice that the governed do not lke & plan proposed for those im autbority to insist upop it wiih tue utmost venemonce. Oue is led to make this Fetleciion by the present itude of the Prefect of tho Feine, Monsieur Hausmang, apropos of the graveyard at Montmartre, He wishox to cut a stroet throng one woruer of ths cemetery. The people of Paris, who, like ail the Frencd, exbi\it the most unceasing and touching respect for the dead, are totally opposed to this plan, ud petitions against it are abowered upon the Prefect and the Emperor, who, by the way, rode over to (h@ cemetery © tew days since to examine the proposed line through it.

It scomed strange to the Frencamen to see this, while near the tars stood French oilicers covered with medals, stars, orders of every kind. Some of the writers I refer to tasteful, beauty confessed that the fact gaye them all (he greator admi- ration for tie Admiral and big suite—so simple and yet so heroic—and made them all the better appreciace the republican austerity of our government. It seemed strangely pleasant also to the French, the sans cérémonie way in’ which the fete was conducted, a bow to the jadies aud shake of the hand to the geutiemen. At ten o'clock the Prefect, M. Gavini, and the General commanding the subdivision at Nice, entered the rooms; with them came the authorities of the town, The quadrille ?honneur was then danced. It was composed as follows :— Admural Farragut, Mme. Gayini. The Pretect, Mme. Farragut. Mae, Pennock, 4denoral Correard, Mme. Ronalds, Captain Pennock, At midnight splenéya supper was served, and until five in the morning the dancing was kept up As an instance of the activity with which the authori- ties here wateh at present for the least appearance of a tack of loyalty in order to put it down at once, the opposition journals relate the following:—A gentieman returoing home late at night found himself attacked, while in deserted part of the city, by a band of rob- bera, He shouted “Thieves,’’ ‘*Murder,’’ but created not the shghtest sensation.

Vienna, Jan, 31, 1868, T intended to have commenced this letter with an ac- count of the not unimportant interpeliations which were addressed by two members of the Hungarian dele- gation, representing respectively the right and left aides, to the Ministry for Common Affairs on sve day be ore yesterday, and to the answor of said Ministry, which, it ‘was expected, would be delivered to-day at the tore. noon sitting of the delegation. But the evening pa- pers only bring me a disappointment. At the com- mencement of busmess this forenoon Count An- drassy, the Hungarian Premier, requested that the dolegation would forthwith adjourn nti! this afternoon, #8 the Ministry for Common Affairs and the Hungarian Ministry were to council! and could not then attend the delegation, The delegation accordingly ad- Journed, and the public will aot know the resalt of the interpellations until to-morrow morning.

If these arrangements had aot been concluded the delay was to be attributed to the difficulty of finding th ht wort of men, (Ap- plause.) To Ghiczy’s interpellation the answor was a3 to the two first points, to refer to th to Kerkapolyi, aud as to the third to arg’ at the War Minister was not expressly named in the con- Stituional law, yet that duties which only a War Minister could perform were expressly prescribed a8 partof the functious of the Common Ministre, and that it was im the spirit of that law and a corollary of the power of commander-in chief conferred on tbe Crown that a Minister represeatiag the Crown, but re- sponsible to the Hungarian Diet, should be appointed to perform duties whica the King of Hungary could not himself directly execute. (Applause. ) Hereupon Kerkspolyi rose and declared hiraself per- fectly sati-fled witn the answer, and believed that he mivbt declare the general feeling of the right to be in unison with bis own, (signs of assent.)

(Applauge.) Now cropped up the question whether the budget should be enter'ained, and the most loyal and extreme memb>rs of the right were for proccediag without dolay. This was to push the leit to the wall.

Baron Beust was the other day assurin, the Council of Delegates that the foreixn relations Austria were so peaceful that ‘‘all danger of war must appear as @ thing only to be brought about by extraordiuary events,”?
