A NOTICE . which amounts to ' a first warn--LJL ing' has been issued by the Moniteur to the Engli s h journals , for the ' ' calumnies" which they hav ? levelled at high persons in France . The expression is ' understood to indicate articles censuring the excessive j oint-stock speculation in Pans , . persevering assertions in some of our journals that the Bank of France \ yas about to suspend cash payments , remarks on the illness of the BinpeTor , from which he has recently
recovered , and gossiping stories about the free manners which the Empress has assumed . Since there has been nothing in the English journals about the persons of the IVench court , or the policy of the Government , half so scandalous , ^ the criticism or the gossip about our own Coiitilj or public affairs has not unfrequenily been , the warning in the French official organ is supposed to have some ulterior purpose , and its most likely effect is to damage that good understanding between the two countries which it exhorts our
contemporaries not to injure . It certainly implies that the Ministers of the Emperor Napoleon have suddenly and avowedly taken up a position hostile to this country . They have succeeded in frustrating any aid which our Government might have been inclined to give to the liberal cause in Italy . If we could have made any demonstration in return for the help which Sardinia lent to us in the Crimcn , we have suffered ourselves to be led away—first , by the proposal to make the demonstration against
Naples rather than Rome or Austria ; secondly , by delays in the attack upon Naples ; and thirdly , we mny guess , by . a stultification of the parade of fleets against Naples ; ' The oOiciul correspondence between the French andWeapolitanGovci nmcnts , published in the Monilcur , tolls vis plainly thnt King Feitoinand 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 he will bo polite .
The British Government stands by Austria . Aaxi Pacha wavered , and the Sultan threatened to place Redschid 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 . J 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 Sebastopol has since been gained by craft in 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 ^ a ffep ^^^ toaa . of railways in Russia has been WttfiMNKittuie of the commercial associations
wSSpSMpife ; competing for the purpose . It is generally ' supposed that the successful association is that headed by M . Stieglitz , and . comprising the names of Pebeike , Hottinguer , and Baking . 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 be 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 onl j' the go-betweens ; the losses always fall on some of the communities for which they profess to act . It is understood , too , that iu 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 RIobilier , two or more of whose directors figure among the Russian concessionaries , is reported at last to have taken a contract for Spanish railways , about which there has been so much coquetting .
far , and that the Bank of France would suspend ; the Bank goes on as usual , but 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 Court is rapidly making its fortunes in the game ; but they are threatened with interruption .
Sir Robert Peel , vvho has just been visiting Russia , and who , as amember of our Government , must know more than most people , has solemnly an-r nounced , at a Staffordshire public dinner , that we are " on the edge of a volcano " -r-meahing that we are at a point just before the probable renewal of war . Sir Robert appeared to allude both to the recommencement of Russian hostililies 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 Fortescue 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 Fillmore 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 the grand point of doubt . With its large number of votes it effectually settles the question , short of sonic wonderful dramatic surprise which wo have no menus of foreseeing .
Messrs . Fox , IIknuersox , and Co . have just been obliged to suspend cash payments , mainly because they have lost 70 , 0 O 0 J . by the excrei . se of their right to construct the Zealand ra >'" ay in Denmark . Zealand keeps the railway ; Messrs . Fox , Henderson , and Co . come away with the loss , and suspend cash pnyinents . There- was a roport in Franco that tho speculators had gone too
This certainty has effected sonic change in the feeling here . The Times , which on American matters has effectually represented our Gove ^ WjneiittT" ' on Wednesday recapitulated Mr . B ^ ciiAttAirV < offences—conspicuously , his supposed . holding of . ' : pro-slavery opinions , and the pai'ticipation in the . . , Ostend Conference , at which tho pro ^ octvyQ % >* ' . ; - * \ ,- ' ¦ ' ' " ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' ¦ ' f .. « ., ^ M ¦ - . ¦ ¦ ¦ '•"/ r i ' <* ¦ N asJ ^ &
lucre are innumerabl e reports and counter-reports as to the question whether Turkey has or has not demanded the evacuation of the Principalities }> y Austria . The French Government , it appears , desires to hasten that evacuation ; Turkey wishes to keep tho Austrians upon the Danube until Russia shall have settled the boundary there .
