CONTINENTAL NOTES . .. '¦ . . ¦ . . / FRAME . In an article which appeared in the Moniteur on Saturday , the- Emperor denies that France is now making warlike preparations ; she has hot exceeded the effective force she is accustomed to have during peace . Assuming that preparations in the arsenals have received any extraordinary impulse , it is only , he says , because changes were necessary in bur materiel , our artillery ; and in the whole , . of our fleet . It is quite absurd , says .-the Moniteur , to represent ¦ and to cast
the Emperor as ' pushing on war , on mm the responsibility of having aroused uneasiness , and of having caused warlike preparations in Europe . On Tuesday the Constitxitionnel received instruc-. tions to publish an article , signed by its political director , A . Hence , on the recent article of the Moniienr . It explains that the publication of the Moniteur article must not be regarded as a retrograde movement , caused by the crusade which an active propaganda had succeeded in raising against the Emperor , in Germany , as some persons have asserted .
On the same day Paris was astonished by the announcement in tho Moniteur of the resignation by Prince Napoleon of the Ministry of Algeria and the colonies . Count Prosper de Chasseloiip-Laubat , deputy and manager of the . Western Railway , was appointed successor to tho Prince , It is said that tho Prince offered his resignation to tho Emperor on Saturday last , immediately after the appearance in the Moniteur of the article which seemed to him in contradiction with the policy followed by the Emperor since New Year ' s-day , and more particularly with the promises made to his father-in-law , the King of Sardinia . Tho apologists of the Prince attribute his retirement from the Ministry to tho antagonism
subsisting between him and MM . Fould and Wulewski . When M . Wulewski learnt the danger that menaced so near at hand , he did all ho could to obviate it ; and ho forgot for tho moment his self-denial , and spoke with boldness , and resisted tenaciously tho policy which ho considered so fatal to tho country . Of M . Fould it is affirmed that , believing war probable , and convinced that the consequences could not be otherwise than prejudicial , if not Yutul , to tho dynasty wliicli ho han 11 o > v served so long , lie resolved tho moment war was declared to surrondor
his post of Minister ; The friends of Prince Napoleon believe-that hjs retirement from the Ministry is only temporary , and . VhHt before tho lapse of many weeks he will again bo in power , but not with the same colleagues . If this bo true , M . WulowskVa touuro of olilco will bo very brief indeed . Diplomatic communications between Pariu and Turin arc now very frequent . The Minister of Marine has ^ ivon orders to proparo the steam corvotto Heine . liortouHc for sailing on tho liHh inst , Bho was to have taken Prince Napoleon to Algiers ) on that day .
Tho preparation of stuty upartiuontn at Fuulainoblaato > is Tor tho Qrnrul Duke , Constantino and his Dueiios « . An aide-de-camp of General ( Moy on has arrived in Paris from Homo , cliuryod with a mission to tho Minister of War .
The Ddbats feels little doubt of the definitive success of Lord Cowley at Vienna . " Austria must be convinced of two . things—the first is that the French Government desires peace , since it has voluntarily accepted the intervention of England , whose attachment to peace cannot be . suspected ; the : second is that European public opinion , so strongly pronounced for peace , would not tie' indulgent towards the Government which should accept the grave responsibility of having rendered peace impossible . We should feel no surprise at hearing the confirmation of the dispatches ¦ which represent as very favourable the progress of the negotiations opened by Lord Cowley . "
Nothing is yet settled respecting the Ministry of Algeria . Some think it will be broken up altogether . others that it will be reorganised . The persons spoken of as likely to succeed Prince Napoleon are Marshal Randon , General Martimpre , and , as above stated , M . Chasseloup Laubat . It has been rumoured for some weeks past that Prince Napoleon is to have the-honorary rank of Lord High Admiral . Tlae Emperor Soulouque is positively coming to Paris , not , per haps , to reside their permanently , fcufc to stay some time . His aide-de-camp , General Dessnlines , has taken apartments for his sable Majesty at the Hotel du Louvre .
. . The infant Prince was baptized at Berlin on Saturday last by the name of Frederick William Victor Albert . There was a very splendid illumination at night . The Prince and Princess Frederick William have addressed a public letter of thanks to the Prussian people for the numerous addresses of felicitation they have received ; on the occasion of the birth of their son . A declaration ; of foreign policy made by the
Prussian Foreign Minister , on Wednesday , was received with applause by the Prussian Chamber of Deputies ^ The Government expresses a decided opinion that , with '' the .. co-operation . of . England , it will succeed in getting / existing treaties respectetfi England and Prussia are described as holding a most favourable position iri ' mediating between France and . Austria . The Prussian Minister also affirms that while there has hitherto been only a moderate hope of peace , matters ; are so changed that the peace is not likelv to be broken . -
. . ' ' . RUSSIA . , ¦ The Gazette of the Senate of Tue sday published the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded between Russia and England , which was ratified by the Emperor on the 10 th of January last .
. a . Tho semi-official Dresden Journal publishes a letter from Vienna , in which it is stated that Austria has ; according to Article 47 of the final act of Vienna , proposed to the Federal Diet preparations for war The article in the Paris Moniteur is said , however , to have produced a very favourable impression upon ' the Emperor of Austria and upon Count Buol Tlie leading statesmen believe that tlie Governments will come to an understanding , and that peace will be maintained . So much inflammablfe matter is , nevertheless , collected in tho Italian duchies that an explosion is to be feared . In the meantime the Vienna papers criticise in a sceptical spirit the statements of the Moniteur . _
On Tuesday the official Vienna Gazette published a long article , stating several reasons , founded on international law , why Austria will insist upon the complete maintenance of 'its special treaties with the Italian states . . Lord Cowloy loft Vienna on Thursday morning afc half-past seven o ' clock for London vi& Prague . His lordsliiphad an audience of the Kmperoron . Tuesday to ttikc leave .
