FRANCE . CHANGE OF MINISTERS—THE REGENCT—DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR . The Moniteur announces that the Duke of Padua , senator , is appointed Minister of the Interior , in the place of M . Delangle , who becomes Minister of Justice . Marshal Randon is appointed Minister of War , in the room of Marshal "Vaillant , who is appointed Major-General of the Army , of Italy . M . de Royer is named senator and vicer-president of the Senate . Marshal Vaillant and Count Walewski are named members of the Privy Council . Duke Pelissier lias reached Paris . . He will be succeeded in his ambassador ' s post in London by
performances , and otherwise acting as the arbiter elegantiarum , is to arrange for the transport to Mihm of the actors and actresses of one of tlie pari * theatres , to perform for the Emperor , and . nerhjuvT a " parterre of Kings . " ' perna P » A riot , attended with loss of life , has occurred at Tarbes . The mayor had made a decree imposing new duties . The farmers resisted the gendarmes who attempted to enforce payment of the tax and * drove them into their barracks . The troops afterwards made a sortie and fired ; a melee took place " and several people were killed and wounded . *"¦ The Emperor has decided that no correspondent of a newspaper or journalist shall be permitted to . follow the French army in Italy . Those profane and dangerous persons must remain at Turin or at Genoa , or at home . A letter from Turin says : — " However great may be my persuasion that Austria has been the barrierto all progress in Italy , and my hopes that Italians may now acquire their independence of that i'ower it is impossible not to regard French intervention with distrust . No one in his senses can believe that the Emperor is putting forth all . the strength * of France for a sentiment , or . that he will not require a quid pro quo ; and already , in very suspicious quarters , I "have heard discussed the probability of a kingdom of Etruria for Prince Napoleon . The idea is started ; and with Prince Napoleon ' s fatherin-law in the north of 'Italy , and Murat in the expectation of some coup in that sense on Naples , the Emperor will have proved his disinterested love of Italian independence , and vastly strengthened bis . power in the south of Europe and the Mediterranean . "
M . de Persigny . The Duke ' s appointment to the command of the Rhine army , having been made , by the German papers , a means to raise suspicions against the ulterior designs of France , the Moniteur declares that as yet no Rhine army exists , and that the Duke ' s appointment means nothing more than that he is to take the command of the garrisons left in the French fortresses , in case Germany should attack France . A telegram foreshadows that this position of the Duke is further to be solemnly recognised by his having the title of Marshal-General , Commander of the Troops in France , eonferred-upon him .
The Moniteur at Tuesday contained decrees to the following effect :- ^ - " The Emperor , having the intention of placing himself at the head of the army of Italy , has resolved upon conferring the title of Regent on the Empress . The Empress * says his Majesty , will exercise the functions of Regent during our absence , in conformity with our orders and . instructions . rwhich will be transcribed into the great book of the State . The Prince Jerome , the
Presidents of the great bodies of the State , the members of the Privy Council * and the Ministers , will take cognisance of these orders and instructions , and the Empress will not be able to depart from their tenpur in fulfilling the duties of the Regency . The Empress will not be able to proclaim any other senatus consultum than those now actually existing . The Empress will take the advice of the Prince Jerome on the resolutions and decrees which will be submitted to her . "
Another decree published by the Moniteur appoints M . 'de Thouvenel senator . On Tuesday the Emperor took his departure to join the army . The Empress accompanied him as far as Montereau . The Prince Napoleon goes on to Italy with the Emperor . The Rue de Rivoli , along which the Emperor went to the Lyons railway , was crowded in every part , and there was a good deal of cheering . The Cent Gardes did not leave till Thursday . Admiral Jurien de Lagraviere proceeds with two ships of the line and four large frigates to the'Adriatic , with a viqw ^ to the strict blockade oi' Venice and , it is said , the blockade of Trieste , so far as Austrian vessels are concerned .
... The army of Lyons 'has received orders to proceed to Italy , where it will form the 6 th corps of the army . The Emperor has just named the regiments destined to form the 7 th corps of that army . It will be composed often regiments of . Infantry , two battalions of Chasseurs , and eight regiments of Light Cavalry . These are already proceeding to Lyons , and will , it is said , increase tho effective force in Italy to over 200 , 000 men , Prince Napoleon ' s staff will quit Paris on the 15 th for Toulon ; Tho detached corps to be commanded
by the Prince , and which is said to be / or tho object of revolutionising Italy , will , perhaps , land at Leghorn . With regard to the war loan wo are told that double the amount is already subscribed for , and that instead of 500 , 000 , 000 f ., 1 , 500 , 000 , OOOf . might be had for tho same purpose , if required . Not the slightest doubt , eoye a Paris letter , is entertained of the defeat of tho Austrians and their expulsion from Lombardy . This is so certain , that it is said M . BacqioccliJ , who has the honour of superintending tho Imperial concerts onfl dramatic

ADELPHI THEATRE . Mb . and Mrs . Wiganwill make their reappearance at this theatre on Monday next . A short two act drama , written expressly for them by Mr . Tom Taylor , is in rehearsal , and will probably be produced on that evening . Mr . J . L . Toole ' , the young low comedianof the day , ¦ whose progress is observed with much interest by playwrights , critics , and managers , has . found a good opportunity of displaying his genuine humour and sound histrionic qualifications in a very smart farce , produced here on Monday night , entitled " Ici on parlevFrancais . " The unheroic hero of the episode ( for plot there is none ) is one Mr . S ^ ri ^ in * , a proprietor of a marine lodging-house , who , to cultivate a foreign connexion , and bring grist to the mill , determines to allure customers by exposing in his window" the announcement that gives a name to the piece .. It being slightly necessary , however , to pick up some French , a phrase-book is procured , and _ of course , before poor Spriggins ' s acquaintance with that tongue has ripened into intimiacy , he is brought to farcical grief In the attempt to converse with foreign applicants for his rooms . Major JRegulus Rattan ( Mr . Selby ) , a gentleman who has reason to think that ! his wife and a French Lothario have taken refuge at ^ S priggins ' s , played admirably as a jealous and indignant husband , and the trifle was altogether a lively ; success .

MATIONAL STANDARD THEATRE . This theatre , which is a ; standing proof that the essentials of human nature are the same everywhere , has just reproduced Webster ' s wonderful old tragedy of " The Duchess of Malfi ; " and notwithstanding its age , its stern ruggedness and its epigrammatic closeness , it rouses the good people of Norton Foigate to all the emotions , which are alike common to Jthe refined and unrefined , the learned and the unlearned . Miss Glyn has made this part her own , and whenever and wherever she appears * the beautiful , the womanly , the loving Duchess is sure to excite the deepest sympathy . It is a character drawn by a master hand , and it is delineated in an equally bold , free and marked manner . Miss Glyn has lost none of her force , nor none of her fascination , though ten years have nearly elapsed since she first reillumined the old and forgotten tragedy of mournful and penetrating old John Webster . It is a strange and wonderful mixture of horror and beauty , and the exceeding merit of the actress ' s delineation consists in the mode in which she blends the two . Neither Ristori nor Rachel could have surpassed her , and were she to eeek a European fame as they did , we . are sure France , Germany , and Italy would , acknowledge that England can produce art , at least dramatic art , as fine as their own . Every pains was taken to give effect to the chief character , by Mr . Jchnstone , who played Bosolo , and Mr . Rayner , who enacted the murderous brother , Duke Ferdinand .

ROTAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE . With a view to improve the financial condition of this charity , and to enable its founders to extend its benefit , a grand ball is announced to take place on Wednesday evening , the 18 th inst ., at St . James ' s Hall . No doubt the numerous patrons of tho drama will come forward liberally on the occasion . A glance at the list of stewards will show that the fete has been undertaken by men of influence , and intimately allied to the profession . The idea of the , ball , we would add , originated with Mr . Sams , wljo has on , ' several other occasions suggested and organised similar entertainments for charitable purposes .

i An English pantomimic company , under the management of Mr . Greenwood , the well known co-lessee of Sadler's Wells , has been delighting tho Berlin public ^ beyond measure . The Princess Frederick ; William ( n « Princess Royal of England ) enjoyed much—we con imagine how much—the abandon of the scene so suggestive of old companions and home thoughts . . The great German mind bent itself to discover the inner meaning of pantomime , and we hear that several available solutions were worked qat but have not yet been , published ,. The applause woa not confined to the lower orders , but rang aa lustily f *< Jra th > grand tier as jfrom . any part of tho house , Neither yfw It lavished upon one performer .
but was given to all in turn . " Not only the four principals , but even the lad whose graven images are nightly smashed ; the fishmonger whose giant salmon bonnets the policeman ; the little boy who trips up the pantaloon , and afterwards dances a sailor ' s hornpipe , were called before the curtain to be glorified with all their fellow supernumeraries . Surely the London greenrooms will ring with this astounding announcement ^ and lucky the tavern parlour that , on the return of the troupe , secures one of them as a " lion . "

SARDINIA . OPERATIONS OP THE AUSTRIANS— - ALLEGED CRT 7 ELTT TO THE IHHABITANTS— -ARRIVAL OF LOUIS NAPO - LEON . " . ' . ¦ ¦; ' At the seat of war the position of the Austrians i » thus sketched ; It seems from the last bulletins published at Turin that if the Austrian army has suspended its movements in the direction of Voghera > Tortona , and Alessandria , its right wing continues to deploy and to march onwards . It has reached Buronzo and Salussola ; they mention it also at San Germano , where it is raising entrenchments ,. Salussola is a station on the railway which lead * from Biella to /\ £ ercelli . Buronzo is a little tothfr
right ; by its occupation the troops at Salussola are joined to those whose departure from Vercelli , in the direction of Gattinara , we mentioned yesterday . More to the south the Austrians , who have not been able to cross the Po at Frassinetto , have attacked the head of the bridge at Casale , but without succeeding in carrying it . While gaining ground towards the north , the Austrians compensate by the construction of entrenchments for any danger which the extreme extension of their line of operations may offer . We have said that they are raising entrenchments at ban germano ; they are constructing them also along and in front of Sesia , in such a manner as to unite to the advantages of a defensive position the POBntakgr of an unexpected attack upon points that «« badly guarded ; and the benefit of living in an enemjs CO nder these circumstances , the allies , who , haw profited by the time to increase theirforws , mdto complete their material , cannot long delay ^ urning the offensive , The arrival of thes Emperor Napofeon is a sign of their intentions . We shall soon , tbw , receivl important news from the theatre of war . The preparations of the French to take J « ™ d are nearly complete . Canrobert , from his head quarters at Alessandria , has issued a stirring order ot tne day to the troops , promising them * fti A « X soon add to the Illustrious narocs f ^ lus Marengo , and Wagram , others equ ^ ly glorious .
