      Rumoured Return Off Napoleon Iii. There ...

      RUMOURED RETURN Off NAPOLEON III . There arc rumours in military circles that the Emperor ' s return to Paris may be looked for soon ; and that , perhaps , Marshall Felissior will get the com maud-in-chief of the Army of Italy . There nre two reasons adduced for this . One is that the formation of a corps of observation on tlio Upper Rhino has been resolved upon , which wo . ukt imply the necessity of the Emperor placing himself in a position to control the movements of both armies , which could only bo bo done from Paris . The other reason adduced is , that negotiations nro again in tsain . JJoth versions may bo veil founded . Another Tumour current is that JMucMahon is to tako the command of the Italian tvrmy in the Emperor ' s absence A $ Canroluoi't and 13 avaguoy D'lillliors aro both tlio seniors in the sorvico , this decision is itported to have alroiuly created a certain amount of discontent .

      placed in him , and taking leave of her as First Minister o * " the Crown . Before he sat down he would take that opportunity to reier to an event which had given him great pain . Their lordships must feel that if there was any circumstance that should be kept inviolably it was the conversation between the Sovereign and statesmen during what was called a Ministerial crisis . His surprise and pain was caused by seeing- on Monday morning in tne columns of the IHrnes , that which purported to b e a lengthened account of wha ; took place between her Majesty and the noble earl opposite ( Granville ) . He acquitted , the noble lord of any want of judgment in the matter , but there had been spine who must have been in the confidence of the noble earl who had most grossly abused it . He would not further occupy their lordships at this moment than to say that it would be a pleasure to him to give ' the Ministry , of which he , the

      IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT . MINISTERIAL EXPLANATION . In the House of Lords the Earl of Derby said that , after the decision the House of Commons had arrived at ; no alternative was left to the Government but to tender her Majesty its resignation , as the result of the vote of want of confidence . With respect to his noble friend , the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , after a perusal of the papers he had laid on the table relative to the war , it would be found that he had carried out as far as possible the statement in her Majesty ' s speech , that every effort had been made to maintaiu peace , and also preserve a strict . and impartial neutrality . He ( Lord Derby ) had that afternoon just returned from thanking her Majesty for the confidence she had

      noble earl > formed a part , on every occasion possible his cordial assistance and support . He should-therefore move as a matter of convenience to the noble earl , that the House at its rising should adjourn till Tuesday next . —Earl Granville said lie regretted the circumstance as much as the noble lord , and he hoped he would believe that he ( Earl Granvillo ) was as much surprised as he was . After he had waited on her Majesty and received her most gracious command to form an administration he certainly had mentioned the circumstance to a few political friends , and he now very much regretted he had not observed greater reserve . He bagged to thank the noble lord for the sentiments lie had expressed with respect to the Government of his noble friend . —Lord Brougham implored the ih * w Ministry to observe a strict neutrality with regard to both France , Austria , and Sardinia .

      The motion for the adjournment of the House was then agreed to . In the House of Commons after a question respecting civil establishments in I r . dia had been answered by Lord Stanley , the Chancellor of the Exchequer paid—I think it is only respectful to the House that I should formally announce , what they already know , nnmely , that in consequence cf the late ^ otc the House was pleased to arrive at , Lord Derby and his colleagues felt it their duty to tender their resignation . Her Majostv had been graciously pleased to accept that resignation of their offices . We , therefore , hold othee onlv lintil our successors are appointed : and I nm

      enabled to state that the noble lord thei member tor Tiverton received instructions to form » Ministry which I am also enabled to stnto lie lias succeeded in doing-I think it would bo most convenient to the noble lorn tlmttlie House should adjourn till Tuesday next ,, when the jiuw writs can bo idsuoil , and if nny further adjournmcut be necessary it can bo used by our successors in oflico . Mr . Diaraeli concluded by moving tlmttlie House at its rising do adjourn till Tuesday next . Tlie motion was agreed to , and the House ndjourucd at five o ' clock .
