      CONTINENTAX NOTES . FKASCE . , The Moniteur . announces that the Conference of Tar swill reassemble . The . first questions that it 55 discuss are the proposed modifications in the ^^^^^^^^ eciOe ^^ o ^ ty rf the late double election of M . Alexander Couza as Hosnodar of Moldavia and of Wallachia . Whether Se state of affairs in Italy will be another subject for consideration is at- present . unknown . The Trench Government . are said to be preparing a list of G rievances against Austria . > + i ' The Government measure for the removal of the octroi walls to the fortifications is exciting constderable dissatisfaction among the persons whose interests will be effected by the change . This is more especially the case with the manufacturers Sose establishments are situated in the districts about to be enclosed within the boundaries of Paris The Prtsse , which is supposed to be the organ oi Prince Napoleon , has received from the Minister of the Interior a warning from an article on Italian ¦ politics , signed Leouzon Leduc . The warning states that such polemical discussions . are of a nature to . raise ill-founded uneasiness in the public mind . The Ministerial warning given to tiie . Pressc created a # reat sensation , and Rentes in consequence rose . The Monitcur publishes the prpjet de lot presented to the Legislative body , fixing the general budget of expenses and receipts for i 860 . The budget of expenses is estimated at l , 795 , 367 , 4 Slf , showing an increase on the budget of 1859 of 29 , 5 S 6 , 6 O 4 f . The increase to- the receipts of the public revenue is estimated at 43 , 690 , 27 If . . ¦ ' ¦ ¦ -. . . Besides the 70 U , 000 f . dotation , on the occasion of Prince Napoleon ' s marriage , a sum of 800 , 000 f . is demanded from the Senate to defray the expenses of the marriage and installation , besides a dower lor the Princess "" Clotilda . This supplementary sum , and the Civit List itself , will of course be paid out of the budget ; the budget itself is paid by the taxpayers , who contribute to the expenses ofthe State from the pro-luce of their labour , their commercial industry , & e . These can . hardly have anything to do with the " ' vulgar , interests " so disdamiully alluded to in the gracious speech from the Throne the other day , as that speech declared that the Throne -vyas elevated far above such low considerations . It was much remarked that the Prince , instead of givin- the Princess his arm , walked before her . The Hi . ni' -ter of War , in the meantime , continues his preparations for invasion . The , agglomeration of materiel at Lyons , Marseilles , and -1 onion is immense . At Lyons the municipal authorities complain of the enormous quantity of powder in ¦ the magazines in and about that city . Tlic Lin-¦ peror will command in person the army in Italy . A letter from Paris says : — " I learn from a private source , in which I place confidence , that the Emperor is preparing tents , horses , arms , uniforms , & c , to tnko the field in person . I nni as convinced as ic is possible to bo of uny proposition , not mathematically demonstrated , that his bosom burns with the ambition to command an army in actual ¦ warfare . " ' . The following is an extract of a letter from Algiers : _« i st . nt you a few days ago some particulars of the embarkation of the active division , which 3 b composed of troops inured to war , who have made tho campaigns of the Crimea and Algiers , accustomed to camp life and to fatigue , and who leave for France with till equipments for war , aa if thoy wore about to enter immediately on a campaign- General MacMuhon has received instructions fov the formation of a second expeditionary division , in caso of war with Austria being decided . " A private- letter from Marseilles mentions that tho now * papers had been "invited" to publish nothing relative to the . armaments . AUSTRIA . A Vfonna correspondent writes , that Austria will sand representatives to iho- Paris Conforoncc , provided . England and Prussia guarantee that thu Italian question sshall not bo mooted . Wo uro informed that Count Buol has addressed a circular despatch to the Gorman courts , with a view to sound their Intentions , if not . to demand ¦ their concurrence , in tho ovout of tho Italian question ondhigiu a ( . 'OiUliot . It is fltiited in high military circlos that Maraud Prince Windlsohgratsc is going on a mission to Berlin . A lottor from Vienna , dated Monday , says : — " 1 o tho groat surprise of tho public , the conductors ol . our journals have received orders from the Government to submit to tho Minister of . Finance' all artlolestroating of financial questions , and to publish none whlali are not npprovod of . '" Tho population of Venice nra as much occupied

      with the gaieties of the Carnival as if no misunderstanding-existed between the French and Austrian Governments ; but large detachments of troops and engineers are occupied in the construction of batteries and provisional fortifications . The port ^ is covered with batteries , on which cannon of the heaviest calibre are mounted .. Workmen are employed , night and day in the arsenal . In the meantime trade is annihilated . rittTSSIA . Great activity is perceptible in the bureaux of the different sections of the War-office , 'the . object of which is to place the army in an efficient state , to be prepared for any emergency . It was expected that a general amnesty would be granted for all political offenders on the occasion of the recent addition to the Royal family . Events have induced the Regent to postpone its execution . A Berlin letter states that during a recent shootin" - excursion , in the neighbourhood of Sans Souci , the Prince Regent of Prussia , had a narrow escape for his life . The gun of an officer ,, who was of "the party , accidently went off , and the c harge passed close to the Prince . SPAIN . The Madrid Gazette contains a series of addresses totlie Oueen from the authorities and public bodies of Cuba ' j expressing indignation at the proposition to purchase the island made by the President of tho United States , and protesting fidelity to the Queen . The Queen has issued a royal order , in which she thankfully acknowledges these assurances of fidelity . . . . NAPLES . With regard to the health of the King , little is positively known , except that his malady , whatever it was and is , must have been , much mars severe than was at first imagined . He is still at Ban , and it is unlikely that he will leave it before the end of the month . A medical opinion is . that the malady of the kins ? is water around the heart , a disease of ¦ which is father died , and to which the royal family are -subject . Great anxiety is felt about the health of his Majestyhy those around'him .- . _ No British vessel of war has visited Naples for now three weeks or a month , and so few vessels are there on the Mediterranean station that the Admiral is not in a position to send one up here . In the meantime the French and Russian squadrons are being augmented . . HANOVER . The- proposition made lit the Hanoverian Upper Chamber to restrain the exportation of horses gave rise to a wai'nv debate , in the course of which it was contended that any French attack on the Po and Rhine would be a ceisus belli . Prussia ' s dilatory policv was denounced as anti-German . The proposition was unanimously agreed to . ROME . A letter from Rome , speaking , of the Prince of W . ales ' s audience of the Pope , says his tutor and the . British diplomatic agent accompanied him . -The Pope addressed the Prince in the most courteous terms . The heir to the throne of the British Empire was respectful , and appeared much , gratified , by the Holy Father ' s urbanity . The Prince is frequently seen in tho streets and in the public buildings . His object appears to be to acquire as much information as possible . On Thursday the army of occupation was reviewed by General de Goyon , at the Villa Borghese . flu gave crosses to sevoral officers . It was an imposing site . The Prince of Wales , the Grand JJudicss Mary , and several foreigners of distinction wero present . General de Goyon presented his eompllnionts to them after the troops had defiled . Notwithstanding these military manifestations , nobody fears that peace will bo disturbed . It is not moro than fifteen days since Cardinal Antonelli received a note from Count Walewski , assuring him of tho . Emperor ' s pacific intentions . nvssiA . A special porvico has boon performed in tho uhurches at St . Petersburg to return the thanks of the tuition for the rccovei \ y of thoICmprcss-Dowager , By tho 13 th January the nobility committees of six provinces had finished and sent in their preparatory labours on tho serfdom abolition question . Tlio number of male sort ' s living in those districts amounted to as much as a million and a half . TURKItY . Lot tors express doubts whether tho Sultan will ryecivu tho Moldavian deputation . 1 / 5 , 000 Turkish troops are stationed along tho banks of tho Danube . Frequent conferences lmvo taken placo between Sir Ik'nry llulwer , Huron Prokesuh , and the Porto . Hcporta of ministerial ehangefl continue- current ' , lluflseln Pacha has boon named Governor of Caudia , in iho , room of Sami Puclm , who will bo sent aa Ambassador to Paris . M . Musurus will probably bo appointed representative of the Porto at tho Paris conferences . EVesli despatch of troops to tho Danube is in

      drospect . Redifs are constantly arriving at Constantinople . A dispatch , dated Constantinople , February 15 , sayS— » a Frenchman established at Rostostohaving been assassinated a , few days since , CountXallemand , on hearinsr of the circumstance , sent off the Salamandre with a dragoman and a certain number of police . . Complete satisfaction was given to the representative of France . " IONIAN ISLANDS . Mr . Gladstone went in state to the Assembly on . the 5 th ; he addressed the Deputies as follows : — " I have received , under date of 2 nd February , the answer of the Protecting Sovereign to the petition of tlie Legislative Assembly of the Ionian State for the union with Greece , 'as" . well as her Majesty ' s commands to make it known without loss of time , and in the most solemn manner , to the Legislative As- sembly and to the Ionian peole , in order that both the one and the other may fuiiy and clearly comprehend their actual position . " The Queen ' s answer was as follows : — " Her Majesty has taken into her gracious consideration the prayer of the petition presented by the Legislative Assembly of the Ionian Islands with reference to the interests of the Islands themselves , of the States in their neighbourhood , and of the general peace . Having regard to these objects her Majesty , invested as she is by the Treaty of Paris .. with the exclusive protectorate of the Ionian State , and constituted the sole organ of that State in the councils of Europe , can neither consent to abandon the obligations she has undertaken , nor can convey , ¦ nor ¦ permit , any application to any other Power in ¦ furtherance of ariv similar design . Her Majesty does not desire to impose new fetters , on opinion ; but she will enforce , wherever it is placed in her charge , the sacred duty of obedience to the laws . Hei \ Majesty has adopted , on her part , the measures which she deems most conducive to the good of the Ionian people , and she awaits the enlightened co-operation of their Parliament . " A despatch dated Athens , February 10 , says that advices have been received from Corfu . A large maioritv of the members of the Ionian Parliament , appear ' determined to refuse the discussion of the reforms proposed hv Mr . Gladstone , and it is expected that , should the Parliament be dissolved , the present members will , be re-elected : DEMEIJARA . .. ' ' - - Peiitiprts requesting the maintenance of a union between Scales wig and . Hblstein continue to pour m bv hundreds at the Hoi stein Diet . It is anticipated that within a week tens of thousands will have been received , all of them drawn up in accordance with a printed form distributed over the country in enormous quantities . This course- of procedure has become necessary to the Holstcin patriots , as , under the hew constitution forced upon them by the Danes , no petition to the Diet is allowed to be signed by more than one person . The clause , evidently destined to preclude the possibility of petitions en masse , proves a failure , owing to this device . Similar petitions have been presented to the Diet by tho German merchants resident at Bradford and Liverpool . Tin ; nuN'CiP . u . iTiics , The Wallachiau deputation charged to deliver to Prince Alexander CVuza the official act of his nomination has been welcomed at Jassy with the most lively enthusiasm . It was received on the 10 th by the Prince , who is said to have replied to it with great dignity and moderation . SKKVIA .
