. : . - . . - ——? ¦ . ¦¦ ¦ A NOTICE which amounts to ' a first -warning' has "been issued by the lionileur to the English journals , for the " calumnies" which they hav / 6 levelled at high persons in France . The expression is understood to indicate articles censuring the excessive joint-stock speculation in Paris , persevering assertions in some of our journals that the Bank of France was about to suspend cash payments , rcmarlvs on : the illness of
the Emperor , from which he has recently recovered , and gossiping stories about the free manners which the Empress has assumed . Since there has been nothing hi the English journals about the persons of the French court , or the policy of the Government , half so scandalous as the criticism or the gossip about our own Court or public affairs has not infrequently been , the warning in the French official organ is supposed to have some ulterior purpose , and its most l ikely effect is to damage that good \ inderstanding between the two countries whidi it exhorts our contemporaries not to injure . It certainly implies that the Ministers of the Emperor Napoj-eon have suddenly and avowedly taken up a position hostile to this counti'y . They have succeeded in frustrating any aid which our Government might have been inclined to give to the liberal cause in Italy , If wo could have made any demonstration in return for the help which Sardinia lent to us in the Crimea , avc have suffered ourselves to be led away—first , by the proposal to make the demonstration against
Naples rather than Home or Austria ; secondly , by delays in the attack upon Naples ; and thirdly , we may guess , by a stultification of the parade of fleets against Naples . Tlie oflicial correspondence between the French and Neapolitan Governments , published in the Monifem ; tells us plainly that King Fjjiu > ina . nd will not yield further than to substitute politeness for rudeness towards the Western Powers ; and that the Western Powers , for whom France speaks , will not molest him so long as ho will be polite .
There ai'c innumerable reports and counter-reports as to the question whether Turkey has or has not demanded the evacuation of the Principalities by Austria . The French Government , it appears , desires to hasten that evacuation , Turkey wishes to kee p the Austrians upon the Danube until Kuasia shall Lave settled the boundary there .
The British Government stands by Austria . Aali Pacha , wavered , and the Sultan threatened to place Kedschio Pacha over his head ; a threat which appears to have been effectual , for Aam Pacha retains his place , and the French papers almost avow a grudge because we have beaten their representative in '' Constantinople . ' - ' Russian invasions are usually most dangerous when they are not carried on sword in hand . Much of the . . Russian territory has been won by peaceful , . encroachments ; the victory which she lost by arms in Sevastopol has since been gained by craft iu the chamber of diplomacy ; and now , after imposing upon France and -England' heavy war taxes , repayment of which they do not exact , she is invading their . money market by a heavy railway rate . 'A . ' contract ' for the construction of a great system of railways in Russia has been ¦ or . inttid . to one of the commercial associations
which -were competing for the purpose . It is generally supposed that the successful association is that headed by M . Stieglitz , and comprising the names of Peukirk , Hottixgtjer , and Baring . The sum estimated is 40 , 000 , 000 / ., to be spread , say , over ten years ; an estimate which supposes that the communities of Western Europe , especially England , France , and Holland , would be contributing at the rate of 4 , 000 , 000 / . a year for ten years , towards the resources of Russia ; and it seems to bo settled that Russia' has really succeeded in obtaining this great subsidy .
It has been remarked that the great capitalists of Europe , whose business it is to deal in ventures and losses , always manage to cover their own retreat : they are only the go-betweens ; the losses always fall on some of the communities for which they profess to act . It is understood , too , that in this kind of agency some of the most eminent statesmen of Paris take part ; a fact which materially influences the diplomacy and foreign policy of France . The Credit Mobilier , two or more of whose directors figure among the Russian concessionaries , is reported at hist to have taken a contract for Spanish railways , about ; which there has been so much coquetting .
. Messrs . Fox , IIkmikkson , and Co . have just been obliged to suspend cash payments , mainly because they have lost 70 , 000 / . by the exercise of their right to construct the Zealand railway in Denmark . Zealand keeps the railway ; Messrs . Fox , IIkndkuson , and Co . come away with the loss , and suspend cash payments . There was a report in France that the speculator ? had gone too
far , and that the Bank of France would suspend ; the Bank goes on as usual , hut it is an English firm , which suspends . ^ The man recovered of the bite , the dog- it was that died ; . " These are the realized ' blessings of peace ; ' they are , in fact , the very object for which the French commercial classes were so anxious to conclude peace . Those classes have newly launched into speculation . The new aristocracy of the Imperial Courtis rapidly making its . fortunes in the game ; but they are threatened with interruption .
Sir RoBEBT Peel , who has just been visiting Russia , and who , as a member of our Government , nvustknowmore than most people , has solemnly announced , at a Staffordshire public dinner , that we are on the edge of a volcano "—meaning that we are at a point just before the probable renewal of war . Sir Robebt appeared to allude both to the recommencement of Russian hostilities and to the state of affairs in Italy ; and he . spoke with marked suspicion of leading French statesmen .
At the meeting of a religious society , Earl Foktjescue expressed the strongest admiration for the conduct of the Piedmontese Government , which has rendered the jurisdiction of the Church subordinate to civil authority . This feeling exists extensively in England , and it is possible that Englishmen may yet feel some degree of resentment should they discover that Italian interests have been systematically betrayed in order to promote the designs of Parisian statesmen upon an alliance "with ' the . Northern Courts and vast operations in the joint-stock market .
There can be now very little doubt about the election of Mr . Buchanan to the American Presidency . The state election in Pennsylvania shows that his party possesses an overwhelming majority over the united party of Fii / cmoris and Fremont , specially combined to carry that particular election- Now those parties "will not combine in the Presidential election , and the reader can judge , therefore , how Pennsylvania will go . Pennsylvania was tho grand point of doubt . AVith its large number of votes it effectually settles the question , short of some wonderful dramatic surprise whicli we have no means of foreseeing .
This certainty has effected some change in the feeling here . The Times , which on American . matters has effectually represented our Government , on Wednesday recapitulated Mr . Buchanan ' s offences—conspicuously , his supposed holding of pro-slavery opinions , and the participation in tho Ostentl Conference , at which the prospective ap *
