On Sund ay * the Belgian Minister at Pans waited on the French Emperor , and gave him from his master the insignui of the Grand Cordon of the order of Leopold . On the same day the Dutch Envoy waited upon the Emperor -with a letter from the King of Holland , offering him a carpet . On the 27 th ult . the treaty of commerce between Franco and Belgium was signed at Brussels . Marshal St . Arnaud will leave Paris , it is . sa . icl , on the 15 th instant to assume command of the ajmy of the East . He labours under a chronic rliedmatism . The funeral of Francois Lamennais took place on Wednesday ( he died at 9 a . m . on Monday morning ) . According to the express injnnctions of the deceased , it fltasnot merely
a private , but a . pituper ' s funeral . He refused to the last all ofhees of priests , and all the so-called " consolations" of the Church . Hia body ^ was attenckd to the grav e by a select few of bis nearest friends . Although it was removed from his house as early as eevea o ' clock in the morning , dense crowds thronged the streets . The g ratuitous " suspicion" of a con temporal- / , " that during the day or two previous to his death he would not have objected to religious consolation , but some political friend so closely watched him that , even if sucli a desire existed , there wuh no means of knowing it or of satisfying it , " is simply rubbish . We aro enabled to givo all euch statements tho most unqualified and most authentic contradiction .

We have England , our former rival , forming , with us the bonds of an alliance which becomes from day to day more intimate , because the opinions which we defend are also those of the English people . Germany , which tbe remembrance of former wura rendered still
distrustful , and which on that account has g iven fur the last forty years perhaps too many proofs of her deference for the policy of the Cabinet of St . Petersburg , has already recovered , her independence of action , and consider *! freely on what side her interests liu . Austria , abovo all , which coultl not sue with indifference the events which were in progress , will enter into an alliance , and will thus atteat tlie just and moral character of the war which we are nudertaking .
