T7ast Preparations Are In Progress For T...
T 7 AST preparations are in progress for the stupendous pageant "with , which the master of France proposes to-morrow to amuse his faithful city of Paris . We hear of triumphal arches , garlands , piles of artificial laurels , Chinese lamps , and solid statues of . peace upon . pedestals of masonry , while the streets on the line of march
present the appearance of a barricade * or an extempore fortification , from the imposing piles of scaffolding intended for the reception of spectators . The Emperor has visited his legions at the camp of St . Maur , and all the arrangements of this important exhibition have been made under his own immediate direction , while the rumours of conspiracy having died away into ridicule , it is now by no means certain that he will not enter the
metropolis , as a conqueror , , me ^ his mighty host , to be welcomed by his fair wife , and his glittering court ,, at the foot of the column raised by the grateful nation to his illustrious predecessor . Let us hope that no envious cloud may intervene to mar the beauty of the coup d ceil , that the visitors from London may not be doomed to exhibit the useful but ¦ unpicturesque umbrella , which they have but just closed in old England ; and that no intrusive widows or opiums , and no desolate mothers may be seen , whose presence may recall the barren but gory fields of Magenta and Solferino . The spectacle concluded ^ we learn that Napoleon will depart , without receiving any 6 f the obsequious compliments of his admirers and denendants , to the ouiet shades of Biarritz , to seek
mar . repose ms . u-uum u muuu *;« - quirc 9 5 for it is said that mind and body have suffered fearfully from the fatigues , the anxieties , and the horrors of the late campaign . Among the many striking proofs of the peaceful bent of the French ruler , not the most unimportant are the temperate observations of M . Granier de Cassagnac , which his imperial patron has this week kindly permitted to appear in the columns of the Constijtutionnel newspaper , in which that meek disciple of the now " Napoleon of Peace " rebukes the King and Parliament of Belgium for their audacity in strengthening the defences of Antwerp , which ( as all the wox'ld knows ) is only
getically declared that England had but simply conveyed the welcome message of peace from France to Austria . Lord Elcho's proposed resolution of non-interference on Monday elicited the most argumentative and eloquent speech of the session from the Chancellor of the Exchequer , who , while he gave credit to the late Government for their endeavours to maintain peace , showed that there had been no departure from a
neutral policy by . the present ministry . He desired , he said , to see Austria prosperous , strong , and happy , and to that end he would have her out of Italy ; but , he demanded , was the House prepared by a formula to take upon itself the functions of the executive , and to leave the French Emperor to struggle alone with , and , perhaps , sink under , the difficulties of his position . Lords Palmerstori and John Russell denied that the
Government had any intention of going into a conference , but the latter emphatically declared that the Government would strenuously protest against any interference of Austria in the duchies . The Duke of Argyll and Sir * C . Wood _ have respectively made long speeches in ^ their respective places , introducing the East India Loan Bill , in the - course of which debates Lord Ellenborough advocated keeping up the European army to the full standard—he would have economy practised oh the native clement ; for the future of India his lordship bas no fears . On tliis question General Evans spoke well , and protested against the employment of German or other foreign mercenaries to defend our
possessions . The overland mail brings intelligence of the submission of the malcontent Europeun troops , and of their acceptance of the proffered discharge . The great Indian rebellion is now represented only by occasional dashes of a few starving outlaws from their hiding-places in Ncpaul , across the borders of Oude in search of food . The progress of the Ambassadors td Pekin is again delayed by the mysterious workings of Chinese diplomacy , but this difficulty we expect shortly to hear hns been removed by the presence of the British Admiral and his argumentative gun-boats .
of Central Italy to the return of their former rulers , has been met everywhere with significant evidence of the unpopularity of his task . In the city of Parma he met evident tokens of the determination of the people to resist the re-installation of the Duchess or her family ; and the occupation of Piacenza by a French corps has been followed by an outbreak of which it is impossible to foresee the results . By the last letters received , we were led to believe that " Viva it nostro re Vittorio EminanueleV was the popular cry , which expressed the hopes of the inhabitants of the duchy ; . but if the telegraphic news be indeed confirmed , that the " ' Red Republic" has been proclaimed and that the counsels of the false friends of Italy have
been followed , then her dawning liberty has been again obscured . From Tuscany and Modena we learn tliat ^ an organised agitation for the proposition of Prince Napoleon as their future sovereign , under the title of " King of Etruria , " is making rapid strides to a successful result . If we may credit the correspondents of the best informed among our contemporaries , as well as the tidings which we ourselves receive , this settlement of their affairs would be by far the most popular , and the dream of annexing these fertile provinces to the kingdom of Northern Italy must be abandoned . If Austria , France , and the inhabitants themselves really consent to this proposed monarchy , the fact would appear well nigh accomplished .
The address of M . Mazzini , which ho has this week put forth , has certainly been well-timed to make a great impression . Many passages in this letter must draw forth an unwilling assent , and command the earnest attention of those who have hitherto been accustomed to look upon the writer as a mere political firebrand . That war is a necessity of the French empire , and that Imperialism is the danger of Europe are propositions which low will be inclined to deny without deep reilection . Other points of this document will not fail to be challenged , as when neutrality is styled cowardly , atheistical , a nd suicidal . The proposition of a league of free states , headed by England , would ,
doubtless , bo a consummation to be wished , but its practicability is questionable . The Italian S olicy laid down for England by M . Mazzini—to emaud the withdrawal of France from the whole of the Italian States , in accordance with the Frenchman ' s implied promise—is one which , however imposing in description , we think ffew English statesmen would fool inclined to ado ]> t , with the certainty of involving their country in a continental war . Some passages of thio manifesto arc calculated to excite curiosity in an eminent degree ; the world would bo glad to know low M . Mokzuu became acquainted with the particulars of the interview nt PlombitVes .
The strike among the workmen in the building trade already shows some signs of accommodation —the most hopeful symptoms being the mutual forbearance and ca lmness displayed by men and mastors . " The movement , it should ho remarked , is more correctly described as a " lock out ol the masters than a general striko of the mon—tiie operations of the latter being confined to Messrs . Trollopo's establishment , while the musters imve brouirbt matters to a crisis by eloaiuff their establishments . Many of the largest linns , meanwhile , still continue their business , mi a tins will probably induce the others to lend n willing ear to
At home the approaching close of the Parliamentary session demands the utmost exertion ? of bowi Lords and Commons to despatch tho necessary business of the country within the limited time which tho claims of tho moors ) and tho grouse have loft to them . Tho terms of tho peace of Villa . Franca , and the question as to what part England is to take , in tho soUlemontof the aHiiU's of Italy , have been tho principal topics of discussion this wook . In tho Lords tho Mnrrjuis of Normanby insinuated that the propositions oi tho peaoo had boon concoctodljctwecn Lord Pahncrston and M . de Persigny ; and Lord Wodohouso

Airenuy « n «»« «»«« - utow havo ollbred I heir services , Hnd ; vu hope will meet with the succuss which thoy anticipate . _ A ho addresa of tho masters to tho workmoi ; contains o ivforonco to tho influence of the strike upon the claims of operative * to tho franchise , which ye cannot allow to puss without remarking upon ite incorrectness imd bud taste . Tho criminal record tins week is fearfully heavy : 110 loss than coven doatliB by violence are unnounoo . l , « U of which , wo fear , must be classed as inurdoru . A terrible explosion of powder-mills in [ rolund is also added to tho catalogue of disasters
a teto dv , pout of that English river , the Channel . Franco having completed her peaceful preparations so thoroughly and so effectually , cannot but consider tho efforts of other countries to place themselves upon an equally satisfactory " peace footing " as unnecessary , and calculated to disturb the peace of Europe . . Nevertheless , since with fetich ramparts tho little kingdom of Belgium believes thut it can defend itself against a quarter of a million of foemon , who may look with envious eyes upon its
• tree press , its fertile soil , and its magnificent ports , it is probable that tho fortifications will not be stopped ; although M . do Oasaagnac most clearly shows that thoy aro carried on with increased vigour , after each succeeding visit of old King Leopold to liia niece and his sister noross tho Channel . , From Italy , this week brings us most eventful news—presaging , wo fear , another bloody chanter » n thQ history of that unhappy country .
