Paris the 30 th March , 1856 . —Art . 2 . Any infraction of the stipulations of the treaty will be considered by the undersigned powers as a casus belli . They will come to an understanding with the Sublime Porte as to the measures which may have become necessary , and will without delay arrange between themselves the employment to be made of their naval and military forces . " The Slecle is said to be ' inspired' by Lord Cowley . It is rumoured that Prince Napoleon is about to marry one of the daughters of the Duke pf Leuchtenberg , aud of the Grand Duchess Maria of Russia .

' Arrests are still made in Paris . The Emperor made the following reply " 'to tlie speech of the Russian Ambassador on the occasion of the latter presenting his credentials on Wednesday ; — " Monsieur le Comte , — As soon as the Treaty- " -of ¦ ¦ Peace
was signed it became my constant care , without weakenmg my ancient ¦ alliances , to modify by kind acts ( ad & ycirpar -de horis proce'de ' s } all that .-which the strict execution of certain conditions might make severe . I learnt with pleasure that my Ambassador at St . Petersburg , animated by these sentiments , had succeeded in winning the goodwill of the Emperor Alexander . The same welcome awaits you here , you inay rest assured , because , ' independently of your own personal merits , you represent a Sovereign who so nobly knows how to impose silence oa sad reminiscences , which war too often leaves behind , to think only of the advantages of a sincere peace by entertaining friendly relations .

TTJiltY . Some light has been thrown upon tho victims of Neapolitan tyranny by the ' Times correspondent , who publishes a list of those who are detained in tho lJagni of 'Me continental , part only of the kingdom of Naples . He writos : —" Yourvrill find that the total number is 7087 , of whom 586 are political prisoners . Tho JJcbats put them down tho other day at 1 O 0 for the whole kingdom . Now , it must be observed , that in the calculations which I' now send you , applying to one class of prisons only , and one part of the kingdom only , are not sot
down ' those confined in the Ergastoli —those of Procida aud -San . Stefano not being really Ergastoli ; nor the Pre * idiarii , who are under tho control of the Minister of War ,. and are for the most part in tho castles—who are not confined for infamous crimes , but arc , a great number of them , politioal prisoners—nor those who arc confined in tho ordinary . prisons of tho provinces . Thoro are , says a well-informed parson , 10 intondenti and 59 sottindenti in the kingdom . Thoy aro so many almost independent sovereigns in their respective districts , and those men , to ingratiate themselves with tho King , nnd to-nhow . tiMir . zeal for Uio wyal cause , roUin at least 1000 in
prison as suspected , , as lying under some imputation * assoluti attendtbiu , or witnesses who caunot be indi ! 7 a to give false evidence . 3 Iy informant is a clever weU informed , calm-judging man , and I am disposed ' to n »* faith in his statements . " w - » ut One of the first acts of the "King of Naples after ti French and English Ministers had left , was ' to send private rescript to the Minister of Police , auribwuLj that the subjects of England and France were Under hr protection , and . " enjoining , every precaution to truani against their being insulted . b *« iu Two manifestoes have been circulated ¦' in . Naples- one proceeding from the moderate party , and appealing tr , the Iviug to grant them the Constitution ; and the ether coming from the more advanced party , demanding re form as their right , and making no allusion to thejlinc Both have been widely circulated .

. - ..:.. RtXSSIA . -.,-The Russian Government is making great exertions'to strengthen and increase the fortifications of Finland .

Petersburg to Warsaw . the Government having already finished , at its own expense , a portion of tlie line , about & 00 versts , and having prepared works for constructing the whole , tlie company engages to reimburse the outlay , which amounts to near 80 j 000 , 000 f . The second Hue is from Moscow to Theotlosia . The distance between these two cities by the ordinary roa < l is 1 , 356 versts , ami many considerable towns are connected by this lino . The surprise is that it should terrtiinate at Theodosia instead of Odessa . be
HoAvever , it ^ vill long before a branch of the principal line will make it enter the general network . The third line is from Moscow to Nijnii Novgorod ( 390 versts ) . The fourth will commence at Koursk , the capital of a province , and centre of commercial activity in the interior of Russia , and will terminate at the port of'Libau . This line will cross at Duhabourg the line between St . Petersburg and Warsaw . The company undertakes to finish these lines before the expiration of ten years ; the Warsaw route will naturally be first open for circulation , and that of Nijnii Novgorod will immediately follow . The concession is for tiii years ; the capital of the company is about 270 , 000 , 000 silver roubles ( or 1 , 080 , 000 / OOOf . )—that is to say , the shares to be issued are not to exceed that amount .
