Hence the panic in the gold market, the call for five hundred thousand men, and the orders which have been sent to various naval stations to fit out the iron-clads instanter.

Whether the demand, for whatever course of action, was based in a too peremptory tone, or whatever may be the trouble, it is certain that there is some serious difficulty with the French Cabinet, so much so as to alarm all save Mr. Seward himself.
