THE WEEK .
On AVeclnesday , Her Majesty and the Prince , with the two Princesses , went to the Haymarket Theatre . On Thursday , after the opening of Parliament , the Queen , accompanied by her family , returned to AA'indsor . On Saturday , tho Queen received the gratifying intelligence that the recovery of the Princess Frederick AVilliam was so far advanced , that no more bulletins will be issued . In France , the preparations for war are going on with increased energy in every department of the naval and military services . The Emperor is evidently bent on Avar somewherewhile his ministers are anxious to preserve peaceno doubt being
, , fully convinced that their individual interests point out a pacific course . The Daily News having asserted that France could only spare 130 , 000 men for an expeditionary corps , the Constilnlionnel has been ordered to prove that the Emperor has a disposable force , for foreign service , of half a million . It is said that the Duke de Montebello , not Count de Persigny , will replace the Duke of Malakoff at the Court of St . James ' s . It seems to be certain ' that PeTissicr is about to assume the command of the army of Paris . Prince Napoleon having distinguished himself so
greatly as a Crimean general , will now , it appears , receive the title of High Admiral . A pamphlet has just appeared , destined to make a considerable sensation . The title is " L'Empereur Napoleon et 1 'Italie . " The ivriter is announced to be M . de la GueiTomiibre . The moral of it ivill be , that although the Emperor desires peace , things in Italy cannot remain as thoy are ; ergo , no alternative but war . Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilda arrived at the Tuileries at half past three o ' clock on Thursday afternoon . A cabinet council n-as held at the Tuileries on Saturday the Emperor presiding , at which his Majesty ' s speech for the opening of the legislative body , was communicated to the ministers . The speech itself , as a literary composition , is as unlike a Queen ' s speech as imagination could conceive , and has
entire reference to the government of other countries . The Emperor begins by alluding to disquietude ivhich prevails , but which is not shared in by the great bulk of his people . He defends the the policy of France , and re-asserts tbe Bordeaux declaration about peace . He boasts his steady adherence to the English alliance , and speaks with great favour of Russia . But of Austria , he does not hesitate to say how much he has been at variance with that poAver . His reference to Piedmont justifies all that has been said concerning the close union between himself and the government of that country . Then came Italy . The emperor believes
Italy is in an anomalous position , but that no sufficient motive exists for war . He hopes that peace will not be disturbed ; and , in conclusion , he appeals to God , his conscience , and posterity . The generalissimo of the Austrians , in the anticipated struggle in Italy , will be , it appears certain , the Archduke Albert , son of the celebrated Archduke Charles , ivho gives every promise of worthily folloiviiig in the steps of his father . He commands at this moment the army of Hungary . Numerous arrests have been made at Venice . Nevertheless ,
there has not been any attempt at disorder . On the 26 th ult . tivo fresh battalions of Croats arrived there ; they AA-ere immediately despatched into the interior . The Messrs . Rothschild have issued propositions for an Austrian loan of £ 5 , 000 , 000 ., at tho price of £ 80 [ for every £ 100 stock , bearing interest at the rate of five per cent , per annum ; and English capitalists have so poor an opinion of their security , that they ivill not give more than 784 for it . Reinforcements continue to pour into the Austrian garrisons in Italy . Meantime , troops are being withdrawn from Hungary , to strengthen the Italian corps , which ivould seem to indicate that tbe government have no fear of a rising of the Magyars . The union of the German states against the common enemy is a popular topic in Vienna .
