      • ¦ . Leader Office , Friday Night , October 8 tli . FRANCE . The question in dispute between the French and Portuguese Governments , as to the seizure of the French barque the Charles and Georges , there is reason to hope will be settled without serious consequences . The French Government appears to be in the wrong . The Charles and Georges was seized by the Portuguese authorities in the Mozambique waters on the ground of her being caught in an interdicted port , and the French Government demands that she shall be restored , and satisfaction given for the outrage . The French Government deny that the ship was engaged in the slave traffic , but that she was merely engaged to convey free labourers to the Isle La Reunion . In the matter concerning the Sisters of Chanty the Portuguese Government is admitted to be in the wrong , and is not unwilling to make reparation . Admiral Penaud , commander of the French squadron in the Gulf of Mexico , who has just quitted Paris to take possession of his command , received orders previous to his departure to protect energetically French subjects in Mexico . Accounts of a great commercial catastrophe at . Liile have been ' received in Paris . A warrant has , moreover , been granted by M . Artand , a magistrate at Lille , for the arrest of -the principal in the house in question , who was an eminent manufacturer residing at Lille . The Minister of Marine has given orders to prepare the steam corvette Reine Hortense for sea , to convey Prince Napoleon to Algeria-

      DOES FRANCE MEDITATE WAR WITH US ? With a section—and no inconsiderable section—In France and in this country , Cherbourg does not mean C ' cst la pair , but Cest ht guerre . "We have already declared our belief , and huvc shown—although . alarm may be unfelt—that the wise part for ihe nation to play is to be fully prepared for contingencies . It is as well to collect opinions from all quarters ^ and to ascertain what is thought on the subject at home and abroad . A little pamphlet is before us , entitled , Will there be a War between France and England ? By " A Prussian . " The writer has taken some pains to probe the question , though not "very deeply , and the conclusion to which he arrives is that war is near and probnble .

      To s <* n c of his statements and arguments we demur , but still there is enough in the brochure to call for serious attention . Tho writer asks , Does Cherbourg , or the extraordinary activity hi . the naval department of France , tho building of aw inany ships of war , the erection of so many now naval stations , the strengthening of so many old ones , * moan nothing but the cautious doctrine—si vis pacem , para bell inn ? and then goes on justly to say that no force exists in the argument that " Cherbourg is only a counterpoise to Plymouth and Portsmouth . ' ii'e writer states a recognised truth when he asserts that tho real strength of France lies in her military , of England in her navnl forces .

      , Whut object , then ( asks tho writer ) , can LouN Juapoleon have in view in his attempt to rival the navnl power of England ? The sea will bo the great buttle-fiuM ° J , tll ° coming age , and fleets tho principal instruments , by iorco of which tho great questions of dispute will have to do determined . An army of half a million will nv'iii tno great military states of Europo nothing in claiming' tno nrst rank among the rulers of tho world , if they < -nnnoc support thoir authority by those weapons which » ' »^" forth will decide tho combats of great nations , u " °

      PRUSSIA , Advices from Berlin of the 5 th instant state that the health of the King , which has been getting worse ever since his return from Tegernsee , now gives « ause for serious alarm . The Prince of Prussia returned to Berlin from Baden on the 4 th instant . He was received at the railway station by Prince Frederick-William . The Regency question is definitively settled , and in a way which must piease all parties , excepting the small one that has so long been all-powerful at Court . His Majesty the King will transfer ( vbertrageri ) the reins o % government to the Prince of Prussia , and at the same time desire him to act in accordance with Article 56 of the Constitution . It is understood that their Majesties will leave Sans-Souci for Meran shortl y *

      SPAIN . The Madrid journals of the 3 rd publish a letter written by the chiefs of the Progressist party , who have separated from the Electoral Committee , presided over by M . Olozaga , stating that their separation is not owing to any difference of opinion on principle , but that at is caused by their not thinking it convenient for the Progressist party to oppose the O'Donnell Cabinet . From Madrid , under date the 2 nd , we learn that M . Tiirgot , the late French Ambassador , had nearly completed the settlement of his affairs which obliged him to return to that capital . He was to leave on the 12 th . JRumours of changes in the Ministry were still rife , supposed to be inventions of the Moderados , whose rancour still pursues O'Donnell . The Queen continues to express herself very warmly as to her resolution to support constitutional government , and to keep within constitutional limits .

      THE PRINCIPALITIES . A letter from Jassy of tho 29 th of September informs us that the population in tho Danubian Principalities are highly excited at the present moment . Tho Greeks openly oxprosa their views on tho subject of the reconstruction of tho Greek Empire . They declare loudly that they expect to reign at Constantinople in place of the Turks , and at no remote period . Tho Bulgarians , likewise , expect that tho day of their emancipation is approaching , but they are more calm than tho Greeks , and , will uot risk an insurrection . They detest the Greeks at ' much as they hate the Turks . It is eaid , further , that Russian influence la not so great among them as ia believed in Franco and Germany .
