HIGH WAS= AT LOWDON RISHOL Ton DAT Morning. b'. .Allirows. To.aoalow— Nam& ea . afweasea. ea. LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. Jeer a year ago all eyes and ears were bent with trembling eagerness upon Italy. GARIBALDI, driven from his birthplace, seeing his country bound hand and foot to the French EMPEROR, chafing with impatience at the pusillanimous intrigue' which had superseded patriotic counsels at Turin, had resolved to make M. RATIAZZI and M. Rarrazzi's prompters understand that he would be neither • dupe nor a tool of foreign schemes of domination and disturbance. GARIBALDI, the pure, the disinterested, the self-sacrificing, had fallen on the heights of Aspromonte ; and the Imperial Government, which had seduced M. Barra= into the persuasion that a friendly settlement of the Roman question should be the recompense of the defeat and capture of GARIBALDI, was sending complimentary messages to the destined victim of its wayward promises and arrogant demands. The French EMPEROR, satisfied with the re moval of GAILIBLLDT, was content to close the ministeriel career of a statesman who had accepted the office of executioner. A twelvemonth after M. RATIAZZI is politically nowhere ; GARIBALDI, whom at the Emerson's orders he struck down, is everywhere in spirit—everywhere in the hearts and hopes of his countrymen. GARIEALDI was no sooner stretched on a bed of anguish, perhaps of death, than the magnanimous ally of Italy—moved by that pious and playful influence which, in the pauses of incessant millinery, commissions armies to fight for the Church in Mexico, and pleads the cause of Papal assassins—se lected as his Foreign Minister • man most hostile to Italy, and sent as his representative to Turin a man conspicuous for nothing but • Papal order in his buttonhole. Italy, however, with that marvellous practical sagacity which has saved her from so many dangers, dismissed with disgrace • Ministry more to be pitied perhaps than blamed, but doomed to pay the penalty of serving two masters, and sat down to count the cost of exceasivegratitode, and by a series of sound measures of administra tion to organise the true conditions of national in dependence—order, economy, liberty, stability. The present Cabinet of Turin entered upon an in heritance of difficulties, foreign and domestic ; an enormous financial deficit to be covered by taxation, not by retrenchment ; an army and navy to be strengthened, not reduced ; large public works to be undertaken ; brigandage to be suppressed in the Southern Provinces ; the angry passions of extreme parties, inflamed by the conflict of Aspromonte, to be appeased ; and all this time the French Government threatening, ob structing, worrying, at every point ; playing feat and loose with the Pore's bandits ; holding Rome as a pledge for the disunion and weakness of the Italian Kingdom, and exacting a Shylock's bond for every slight concession to the nation's rights. And so the old year passed sway and the new year came, opening new chapters of the world's history ; a life and death struggle in Poland, a paroxysm of civil war in America, new alliances of European Powers, and a political reconstruction of Germany under Austria. In the midst of all these startling events the danger of Italy, as a question unsolved, has almost faded out of the public mind of Europe. If, indeed, the quiet- ness which Italy has enjoyed during the last twelve month were sufficient evidence of her present wel fare, or security for her future peace, we should have nothing but unfeigned sate faction to express. But our letters from all parts of Italy warn us moat emphatically that beneath this tranquil surface of affairs men's' minds are far from calm. Throughout the Penin sula it is felt with ever increasing bitterness that the Second Empire, after doing just enough for Italy to demand two provinces in payment, to humble her own historic rival, and to glut aioraving appetite for glory, is now the bitterest foe to the unity, liberty, and independence of Italy ; that the French Government would sacrifice Italy to any Power in Europe to-morrow, and even assist in crushing her, if the interests or caprice; of the Court of the Tuilleries were concerned in some new alliance or some new diplomatic bargain; that the conduct and bearing of official France towards the Italian Government is a continual in sult and a continual oppression, and that almost all the troubles that threaten the immediate future of Italy spring from the double-faced and double-dealing policy of a Power whose friendship is even more dangerous than its enmity, and the very law of whine being is bad faith.

ROSENAU, COBURG, tale= 30. The Queen drove to the Kalleoberg on Friday evening, and took tea with the Duchies of Coburg. Mr. Barnard, her Majesty's resident at Coburg, had the homer of an interview with the Quest oe Wednesday. The Queen, Princess Helena, and Prince Alfred attended divine service at the chapel at the Kaßenberg this morning. Her Majesty and the Royal Family continue to take drives in the neighbourhood. and have visited the widow of Baron Stockinet, and the Prince Consort's former tutor, Mr. Florschutz, at Coburg. Her Majesty's health is much the same. She is unable to bear any great exertion or fatigue. Dcapatchee were received yeaterday at the Colonial-Aloe from the Govermos of Cerloo, Hoeg-Hoeg, Yalta, and from the Lord High Coromisamer of the balm lama. CIRCULAR FROM MR. SEWARD. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Saxon* Captain Trautmann, from New York on the 22nd ult., has arrived at Southampton. She brings 144 paesengers for this port, Havre, and Hamburg, 85,019 dole. in specie for England, 25,828 dole. for France, and 500 dots. for Hamburg. The Saxonia passed the Germania, bound out wards, in lat. 50.8 N., lon. 27.30 W. During the first four days of her voyage the Saxonia experienced very thick fog. The United States government, through Mr. _ _ . Seward, has addressed a circular, dated the 12th tilt., to the United States consuls iu Enr. , pe, enter ing into a. narrative of the incidents of the war during the last twelvemonths, with a view to re move the opinion of English and French states men that the efforts of the Washington govern ment to maintain the Union and preserve the integrity of the republic could not be succeenfuL This review of the campaign (says Mr. Seward) shows that . - so great proems hat been made by our arms in the east The opposing forces there have been too equally matched to allow great advantages to accrete to either party ; whiled* necessity of covering the national capital in all contingencies lbw constantly restrained ourgenerals, and forbidden such bold and dangerous movements as usually conduce to brilliant military success. In the west, however, the results have been more gratifying. 50,000 square miles have been in. claimed from the possession of the ineurgents. On referrig to the annexed map it will be seen that since the breaking out of the insurrection the government has extended SE former sway over and through a region of 200,000 square miles, an area ea large as Austria or France, or the penin sula of Spain and Portugal. The insurgents lost in the various field and siege operations of the month of July which I have described one-third of their whole forces. Jefferson D•vis, the leader of the sedition, has since pro claimed a levy of all the able-bodied men within his military lines. This, if a'ri'd into effect, will exhaust the whole material of which soldiers can be made. The insurgents estimate the total number of conecripta thus to be , pined at from 70,CC0 to 95,00. Our armies now confront the insurgents at all points with superior number'. A draft for 300.000 more is in progress to replace those whose terms of service have expired, and to fill up the wasted ranks of our veteran regiments; and the people, just so fast as the evidence of the necessity for that measure is received and digested, submit with cheerfulness to the seesrtained demands. Our armies everywhere are well equipped, abundantly fed, and supplied with all the mesas of transportation. The soldiers of two years' service bear themselves as veterans, and show great steadiness in every conflict. The men, accustomed to the camp, and hardened by exercise and experience, make marches which would have been impossible in the beginning of the contest The nation is beaming familiar with arm', and easily takes on the habits of war. Large voluntary enlistment' continually augment oar military force. All supplies are abundantly and cheaply purchased within our lines. The country shows no sign of exhaustion of money, material, or men. A re quisition for 6,200 re-mount horses was filled and the manilas despatched from Washington all in four days. Onv iOllll is parasol-A at par by our own citizens at the averagel rate of 1,2C3,CC3 dollars daily. Gold sells is our market at 123 to 128, while in the insurrectionary region it command , 1,203 per cent. premium. Every insurgent port is either blockaded, besieged, or occupied by the national forces. The field of the projected confederacy is divided by the Mississippi. All the fortifier times on its banks are in our hands, and its flood is patrolled by the Federal fleet. Miasma, Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland—all slave statm--support the Federal government. Miseouri ley already in convention ordained the gradual abolition of slavery, to take effect at the expiration of seven years. Four-fifths of TODDIDSOO, two-thirds of Virginia, the coasts sad sounds of North Careless, half of Mississippi, and half of Louisiana, with all their large cities, part of Alabama, aad the whole sea coast of Georgia and South Welles, and as inoousiderable part of the coast of Florida, are held by the United States. The insurgents, with the slaves whom they yet hold in defiance of the President's proclamation, are sow crowded into the central and southern portions of Virgiais, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and I Alabama, while the pioneer slave-holding insurgents beyond the Mississippi sre cut off from the main fora.. On the other baud, although it is less than sin months since the laws or ' customs of the United States would allow a man of Africa descent to bear arms in defence of his country, there axe now in the field 22,000 regularly enlisted, armed, and equipped golden of that class, while 50 regiments of I,COO each are in process of orpaisatioo, and 62,900 persons of the isms class are employed as teamster,, labourers, and camp followers. These facts show that, as the insurrection cootinues, the unfortunate servile population, which was at the beginning an element of its strength, is beieg transferred to the sup port of the Union. You will nee the facts presented in this paper in such a way as may be most effective to convince those who seek • renewal of asemereial prosperity through the restoration of peace in America, that the quickest and shortest way to gain that desired end is to wit►draw support and favour from the insurgents, and to leave the adjustment of our domestic controversies exelusively with the people of the United States. The whole country around Chattanooga is swarm ing with rebel desertersfrom Bragg's and Johnston's armies. Rebel cavalry are enforcing the conscrip tion in Eastern Virginia. All eyes are turned towards Rosencranz's movement on Chattanooga, which is austnral citadel in the heart of the confede racy. If this is seized the Federate will hold interior lines and force the rebels to operate on the external lines, and thus the tables will be turned on the Confederates. Among the passengers by the Saxonia is the Hon. Mr. Ruggles, who has been specially sent by Mr. Lincoln to the International Statistical Con gress at Berlin, to present to the attention of the European world a comprehensive and authoritative view of the vast and rapidly-growing resources of the United States, their commercial, agricultural, mineral, and territorial development. THE SOUTHERN PRESS AND THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. (From the Richswad Whig, August 21.) Charleston, &C., August 20. The enemy's operations during the last twenty four boors have been mostly confined to a steady and on. tiouous bomterdmeat of Fort Sumter from their Parrott guns on Morris Island. Their fire begins to tell on Fort Sumter, which replies only at loog intervals. The defence of the harbour does not depend mainly upon Sumter. Even if that formes should be battered down, the harbour may still be held. Governor Bonham has issued a proclamation urging the removal of all non-combatants from Charleston as soon as possible The two hundred-pounder Parrott guns of the enemy are too much for the walls of Sumter, and the fat only replies at intervals. It has been determiried to defend the city, street by street and house by house, as keg as a foot of earth is lett. (From the Chattanooga Rebel, August 10.) We look for the worst at Charleston. It will never be taken as it stands, however. It would be mined and blown from its foundation first. We do not anticipate any very encouraging news from that quarter. The journals of the city may put the beat face on the Toothier from Eno. tires of patriotism ; bat we had as well be prepared for any emergency. (From the Macon (Os.) Tekgraph, Auost 12.) We think thel Chattanooga Rebel is unnecessarily de spondent ►bout Charlestoe. It I. tree she may in time socournb to superior numbers mid heavier ordnance ; but the cumbers are not there yet, sad the hopes of suc cessful defence have pow. with every day since the be. ginning of the siege, and so bas the strength of the position The Charlestonians don't believe that their city will be taken, and we shall not believe it mail it is does. The following semi-official announcement has been wade of the condition of affairs at Charleston : Waehiagtoe, Ass. 90. Official despatches resolved at the &outmost; from Gym& Oalimey, sod Admiral Dahlgren meant perivious reports of dos program of affairs in • ollarloston Harbour. Fall confidence is felt in re ability to redness Fort Sumter after a few hare' boor lardmect. This is but one step, however, towards the capture of Charleston, and anticipations of an imme diate termination of the siege by the fall of the city are premature. There is a great deal of hard wort and desperate fighting to be done Store after the reduction of Sumter, which may yet require considerable time. But little faith is entertained in official circles in the realisation of the sanguine pre dictions of the correspondent of a Baltimore paper of immediate triumph. No doubt is harboured of ulti mate success ; but the public should guard against too great anticipations of speedy triumph. which are not likely to be radioed. Prominent offioars serving before Charleston express theenalves in private letters received here to-clay as earnestly hopeful of the combined naval and military operations, but they do not mention any time for the reduction of Fort Sumter, &a., as promised by enthusiastic newspaper oar reepondente. The work being heavy and requiring the ut most skill and caution, they, with a full appre ciation of all the difficulties, purposely refrain from exciting expectations of an immediate and complete via tory ; nor are speedy results of inch a character anticipated by gentlemen in Washington who are beet acquainted with the plans and intentions of the commanding °nicety. It is stated in •1101:46011 quarters here that the people of Charla tan will fire the city before it shall fall into the Feasts& VIE CONFEDERATE STEAMER FLORIDA. We read in the Journal des Dibats of to-day : A Confederate email . , named the Florida, some days ago entered the roadstead of Brett, cad disembarked the crew of a vessel which it had burnt near the English owl. The Phare de Is Loire has on this subject urged complairte which we consider well founded. It would, in tact, be well wore it possible to interdict from moms to our ports ve ri table I ses.rovers, for the Florida is nothing else. Now we believe that is possible: The rights of belligerents have without doubt been conceded to the Southern States ; but it is evi dently on the condition that they conform to the regu lations of international law. If it be porible to show conclusively that the Southern States have the right to arm corsairs, silica they have not acceded to the treaty of Paris, it is not possible to admit that the corsairs armed by the South, and amimilated by a too generous toleration—it is now clearly seen—to vessels of war, may substitute themselves substantially for maritime t r ibunals, and make themselves judges of the validity of their captures. They have not the right, as they sesame, to atop vessels which they meet on the sea, to take possession of the cargo, whether it belong to Northern Americans or to neutrals, and to burn the vessels, although a captain of the state navy, wearing the uniform of his coun try, and presenting many other guarantees for honesty and impartiality, would be obliged to take his prize before • court of juries. That is evidently intolerable. It is in vain that Southern people allege that, their port being block aded, they have no maritime tribusals. That is their affair, and not ours. Let them attack the American ship, of war, and compel them to raise the blockade, as they have • right to do ; but taking possession of the goods of others ' without a legal judgment is in all languages called robbery. plored to deliver her from tiie evils by which she is THE CASE OF MR.

SIN —Observing in the Express some editorial .marks upon the letter of pardon, as it has been termed, addressed to me by the War Department, in connexion with my late trial by court-martial, when, among other o pi n ions, you state :—" The reg iment wee t actically in a elate of mutiny ; officers and men of the most unimpeach. able character were driven to desperation," permit me to inform you that the regiment was not only practically but absolutely in a state of mutiny—as much so as it well could be wtthont coming to an actual out break ; and I could not well illustrate to you in a better manner the state it was in than by referring to a fact reported by me first to the Commander.in-Chid of the Bombay Presidency, Sir William Mansfield, on the 2nd June, 1882, and secondly to the Commander•in-CAsied in this country, of the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Crawley's own servant, a private soldier named Walsh.

London, Sept. 3. KILLED ire A RAIT.WAY —An i held yesterday attersoon, at TCNNEL. the Railway Hotel, nq uest Home was y, before Dr. Lankteter, on the body of a wont's, found in a ding state on Tuesday morning at 6 o'clock, in the Totten ham TauneL It appeared that e deceased, Martha Evan& was a married woman, and that th she left her home on San day morning to go to church, and her husband, an engine keeper at a factory, heard nothing of her until the melan choly occurrence. A platelayer in the employ of the Great Northern Railway Company had occasion, about 6 o'clock on Tuesday morning, to go into the Tottenham Tunnel, and found the deceased with one of her legs completely cut off on the rail, and he conveyed her to the Railway Hotel. She groaned once when he picked her up, and expired. The husband of the deceased was called and stated that his wife was not a drinking woman, but had lately been strange in her manner. A policeman gave evidence to the effect that he saw her in the neighbourhood of Hornsey late on Monday night, and she told him she had been to &field, and afterwards to Stratford, and went in a cart to Barnet. She had last her way and wanted to get home to Charles-street, Hampstead-read. He put her In the right direction and she was afterward" seen by two other policemen. On Tuesday morning she was toyed in the tunnel. The jury, es there was no 'video°, to show bow she got i, tunnel, returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." SINUULAR FATAL ACCIDENT NTAR CHESTERFIELD. Yesterday afternoon bequest was held at Staveley, near Chesterfield, by Mr. Busby, coroner, en the body of an engine tenter, awned John Bereeford, employed by Mr. Barrow at his extensive works. It appeared from the dium that the deuces& wee misled at the dinner hoar, his little bay being unable to find him, and a search was emu quietly made, which resulted in the body of the unfortu nate men being found head downwards in the water at the bottom of the engine-house well. It was thee evident that deceased must have fallen off the ladder which led down into the • cellar, and was precipitated bead downwards an opening in the flooring about two feet square' thence he fell, striking a platform, into the well, where he was drowned. Deceased's body was much mutilated by the wounds he received by his fall, and it is a matter f great wonder bow he could have passed through the different trapdoors and belles into the well. The jury returned • verdict of " Accidental death." NARROW ESCAPE OF AN EXPRESS TRAlN.—YeS terday John Alb , a butcher, residum at Agneeplacm Plurastead, before Mr. Maude, sitting in the Wool wich police-oeurt, to answer an adjourned summons, charm. lag the defendant with endangering the lives of passengers on the North Kent Railway, by leaving a horse and cart ea the line, near the Abbey-wood station. From the evidence previously takes it appeared that on, the 12th of August the defendant, with a horse sod cart, was musing slowly over • level crossing of the railway at the moment that an express train to London was in sight. The danger signal was fortunately given to the driver of the train, who instantly slackened speed, and a collision was avoided. The defendant pleaded that his eyesight was bad, and that he was also deaf. He did not see or hear the train until it was near, and he then got it off the line as soca as possible. It was stated that the South Eastern Com pany did not intend to prosecute sa the offence did not appear to have been wilfully committed. The defendant was then discharged. FATAL RESULT OF A PRACTICAL JOICIL—Ono evening, about a fortnight ago g Ellen Elford. a young woman, whose home is at Bothnia, and who has been living as • servant with the Rev. James Glencrues. at Liikeard, left her master's house to go to the postoffice. On her return she was met in the sweetie leading to the house by a fellow-servant, who bad pulled her dress over her head sou to leave the white lining expreed. The poor girl Elford was so trightened that she at ones became ill, and was a few day. afterwards removed to her Mom when she died on Monday after great mental suffering.—Weetern Morning Nara HORRIBLE DEATH OF • CAPTAIN IN THE ARYL On Tuesday evening Captain John Harding Lothian, of the 53rd Regiment, stationed at Portsmouth. was killed under the following circumstances. The deceased had quarters in Cam. bridge Barracks, High-street, upon the second story. About eight o'clock oo Tuesday evening Captain Lothian was heard to fall from his window iota the area below. No saw him fall, and considerable doubt exists am to whetter he threw himself from the window or fell accidentally. It would appear that as he fell his feet caught the windo i L i t rinsing him to turn a complete somenault, sad broke wisdom. The unfortunate man then struck against the edge of the stone parapet fronting the servants' rooms and forming the area. He was forced by the impetus of his body against the wall, and finally came head foremost on, to the pavement. He was taken op End medical aid pro- cured, but it was apparent that the affair would terminate fatally, the skull having been fractured and the body greatly braised. He died about one o'clock yesterdey (Wedneeday) morning, from compreesioa of the brain and other injuriee re ceived in the fall. Deceased was in his 40th year, and bad been in the 53rd several years. Before his death he bed been under medical treatment, having suffered from a mental disease. There is no doubt that he was a lunatic, and sur prise has been expressed at his being retained on the active service list. He had been formerly an inmate of • lusatio asylum, and it is said that he threw himself from the window during a fit of insanity. The inquest assembled in the barrack when our parcel let. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—Last week a suicide ef a most dietressing character was committed by the wife of Mr. William Wallace, a farmer, residing at Worle. Mr. Wallace bad left his house and proceeded to look over his farm, leaving his wife and two young children at home. From what was afterwards gleaned from the statement of the dying woman, corroborated in part by some neigh , burs, it would seem that shortly alter her husband left she dressed herself in a gown merely, besides her under garment, walked downstairs, got a light, deliberately set herself on fire, wed then walked out into the garden. where, before any assistance came, she was so shockingly bust that her death occurred the same evening. The unfortunate deceased was of somewhat weak intellect, and had latterly been labouring under a strange delusion on aooosnt of her husband being about to remove to an oth eroth farm ; and it is rumoured that the unhappy wome e heard to my she never would leave her then residence until she was car ried out—Sherburne ..foornal.

It is not certain (says the Post) whether King George will visit the Queen at Windsor or whether he will join the court later at Balmoral. Hie Majesty is at present paying a short visit to his relation at Rumpenheim ; bet in consequence of the unpleasant relations between the German states and Denmark, and also the position of Greece itself towards the ex-King Otho, it boa bee* deter. mined that the King of the Hellas's shall lbw bat a few days at Rompenheim. The vote for the annexation of the Ultima Weeds cannot be taken before the mooed week in October, awl his Majest► intends to arrive at Athens im. mediately after that event. HIS arrival bore ray he looked for either during the Queen's stay at Windsor or immediately after her Majesty's departure for Balmoral.

SWEDEN. The elections for the provincial assemblies have terminated throughout the whole of Sweden. Those bodies, called on for the first time to regulate the affairs and special interests of the provinces, are to enjoy a great independence, and very extended attributions. They represent a total number of 1,022 deputies, elected without distinction of orders. According to the re sult of the present elections, 409 votes have been gained to the burgess class and to liberal ideas, and 613 to the conservative principles professed by , the other three orders—nobles, clergy, and pea rants. Taking into account, therefore, that the agricultural class in Sweden represents seven-ninths of the whole population, the increase in favour of progress manifested by the electoral votes cannot fail to attract notion. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult. states that the King is progressing towards convalescence. A Madrid letter says : The civil and military chiefs, or is other words the head sad the arm of the progressistes, have arrived here, having been summoned by their co-religionists to solve the grave question, rather carelessly raised by the journals of the party—ought the liberal proeremistaa to abstain from taking part in the next elections? M. Glossy& is for the affirms. five, because, he says, in theory hear always she advocate of extreme mesas, but General Prim strongly opposes abstention, and be wrote to that effect to several of bin friends before he came to Madrid. The respective atti tude of the two chiefs is clearly explained by their previous acts, and by the point of view in which each of them has plead himself. M. Olozaga thinks that the progressista party will never attain to power unless by pealing through revolution, and that fact accounts for their seeking to excite the public mind by exclairaiag that the paths of legality are obstructed. General Prim, on the contrary, who has imposed on his partisans the rude task of reeouciling the progreatista party with the crown and with order, will riot create or contribute to create a difficult situation which might terminate in a catastrophe. Whatever may be the future attitude of the recreants', whom the democrats constastly excite to aid them in their destructive work, the government will still be responsible for the present agitation. All was going on well until that untoward circular came and raised political pas. sloes. The ministerial journals state that the advisers of the crown are perfectly in accord, as may be also seen in thy councils of ministers which have been held during the last few days, bat you mast not swept those declara tions without reserve. lam well aware that the circular has caused serious dissent in the cabinet, and that there also exists another cause of crisis.

In fact, at the last council they proposed to appoint MM. Gonzales Bravo and Pacheco as Spanish ambassadors at London and at Paris, and M. Rios Roam as via-president of the council of state. The ministers present made no serious objection ; but M. Miraflores, as soon 1111 he heard of the proposition, wrote a very energetic letter to M. Vahamonde, in which he opposed those nominations, and convoked the ministers to a council at La Granja.

The article in yesterday's Pays, admitting the important facts that there is an understanding be tween France, Russia, and Prussia on the special point of the Frankfort Congress, and that the rapprochement may, under certain eircumetanoes, extend further, has not made quite so much sensa tion in Paris as might have been expected. Some of the journals, no doubt, abstain from alluding to it out of professional jealousy of the information of a contemporary ; but this remark is not applicable to the Constitutionnel, which is in the same hands as the Pays, and generally echoes all its important news, either by a literal reproduction or a paraphrase. It is a singular circumstance that in the present case the Cossditutionne/ should make no allusion to the most important news of the day. Possibly some of the ministers may have thought the revelations of the Pays indiscreet, and taken measures to stop their further propagation in an authoritative form. There is still, however, no doubt that the Pays was officially inspired last night, although, as ministerial councils are now almost en permanence—(there is to be one every other day till the Emperor goes to Biarritz)—much fluctuation of opinion in governmental circles is to be looked for. The journals which have taken a leading part in favour of the independence of Poland are very much chagrined at the present aspect of affairs. The Opinion Nationale regards "a free Poland in a free Russia" as a miserable phrase, signifying the complete absorption of Polish nationality in Russian despotism. The Temps says : This article (that of the Pays), which affects a semi official air, invitee many observations which we have no space for to-day. We mast say at once, however, that we cannot see in the proposed new alliance any of those guaran tees for the pesos of Europe which the official writer flatters himself he can discover. That France and Russia should keep a sharp eye upon the unitary movement in Germany is quite natural, and, although their vigilance may be deemed exaggerated, the Germans have small right to com plain of it. Bat that Prussia should ally herself with foreigners in order to check a national movement is assuredly not a fact calculated to strengthen that power in Germany. The circumstances under which Prussia offers her alliance deprive it of all value, and would make it, on the contrary, a serious embarrassment to us. It could only serve to give new aliment to the national feeling now so strong in Germany. and to impel that sentiment against the Prussian government, which if it were to act against Ger many in concert with Russia and France would not find a man nor a shilling. An alliance with a power which is committing suicide offers no attractions. The France, feeling apparently the necessity of making things pleasant to all parties, has an article intended to prove that in the new phase into which the negotiations on the affairs of Poland have en tered, "thanks to the intervention of Prussia and the liberal policy attributed to Russia," there is nothing which need weaken the understanding which has hitherto prevailed between France, Eng land, and Austria on that particular subject. It characterises that understanding as not an alliance, or even a compact, but simply as "a happy harmony of ideas and interests." The argument is that a similar "happy harmony " between France and two other powers may go on quite consistently with the first. The article, however, proceeds to betray great irritation at Austria for having got up the Frankfort Congress when she ought to have been occupying herself with Poland alone. There has been mime reaction at the Bourse from the considerable rise of the last two days, but not sufficient to indicate any change in the political views of speculators. There was considerable Hue tuation, but the closing prices of the Rents, showing a fall of 25c. and 15c., were not the lowest of the day. Prince Napoleon is at Cherbourg with his yacht on his way to Lisbon.
