TILII first impreasion produced in Caleutta by the arrival of Sir Cott? , CAMPBELL is described as having been one of " universal confidence and joy." In that excited community, long labouring under the most distressing of all social symptoms--a thorough distrust in the competency of its Government to meet the existing crisis—the sudden appearance of a man of known wisdom, energy, and decision was naturally felt as a God-send. This was the first impulse of the popular feeling; hut it was soon toned down by other considerations. Sir Cutty CAMPBELL came, not to supersede, but to serve; not to control, bat only to counsel. The GOVERNOR GENERAL still retained the supreme power which he had already shown his inability to wield ; the Council from whose influence he had never shaken himself loose, and in whose suggestions and advice he was only too glad to merge his own responsibility, still remained inexpugnably en trenched in all the strongholds of routine, potently believing that they could guide with reins of red tape the wild frenzy of • military insurrection whose like the world has never vet seen. Had Sir COLIN CAMPPELL come over to exercise undivided sapremacy—had the power of the civil and military sword been vested in his sole grasp, the known energy and promptitude of the man might reason ably have inspired a new life of hope and confidence into the harassed citizens of Calcutta. But Sir Cott's in subordination to • Governor wbo was himself subordinate to the C'ouncil, was evi dently a very different thing. Hence the eager desire of the Calcutta people for an absolute dictator ship—for a few months of irresponsible power vested in some one wise and capable and resolute ruler. It • is a most natural wish—•a most unavoidable de&'e. If we only look closely at the actual position in which this Indian empire of ours is now placed, we shall find that its most real and urgent waist is the want of a single. supreme, and presiding mind. In times of deep public calamity and imminent public danger it must ever be thus. Whenever the safety of all depends upon the prompt and ener getic employment of the powers of all fee the great end of the general welfare, the temporary amender of full supremacy to any ooe pair of hands really able to wield it, is a matter of common prudence and almost of popular instinct. Whent eer Rome was in jeopardy, the forms of liberty were suspended, in order that its essence might be preserved by the wholesome energy of temporary despotism. The imperilled Republic sub mitted itself to a master; the Assembly , the Senate, and the Consuls were superseded by a Dietator. The • emergency that has now arisen in India is peculiarly of a kind that requires can► a remedy es this : a elm head, a resolute will, an abseiena authority, are the pressing exigencies of the Beeman them They are the things most wanted v.—unless a speedy change is made, they ire the things k-sat likely to be bed. If Lord CANNING possessed in any eminent degree t►e elements of practical greatness, he would require nothing but the circum stances that have transpired to invest him with the dictatorship that they demand. In times of such argent necessity a superior aptitude for command asserts its own sovereignty, and no murmur., &along at least as the danger lute, rise in protest against its beneficent usurpation, A great man in a greet emergency is a de facto Dictator, vested with supreme command by the paramount rights of genius and the absolute enmities of the time, In Indian history, long before the independent power of the Governor-General was formalised as it is now, the eminent servants of the Com pany have been more than once made supreme by the combination of faculty and circumstance, genius and necessity, Cul t and A..TI Gs were Dictators in this num. By the curviest of powers transcending rule, but drawing their warrant from emergency, they built up this Indian Empire which, by Gou's blceeng, we mean to transmit. not only unimpaired, but extended and conso lidated, to our eons. In later times every able Governor-General has known how, in times of difficulty, to make himself supreme. CORN W LIAM and Ilasrltina and WELLEXLET acted for them selves. And now a time has fallen upon India the like of which has never been before; the foun tains of the great deep have been broken up ; the elemental forces long imprisoned ander the fairsurface of a seemingly prosperous social system have been let loose, and an Empire is resolved into an Anarchy. Now, if ever, we want in India a Man, end we have got—what ? A Governor-General without energy; ands Council without insight—an amiable and cul tivated nobleman of classic tastes, good dispoai t ioa , and single-hearted integrity, leaning for aid on a con dare of five exceedingly limited and ordinary men wedded to Routine, trained in Circumlocution, swathed in Red Tape. Admirable people, no doubt, all of them, for nrdinary times, but for an emer gency, for a revolution, for a wild, weltering chaos of anarchy and insurrection, why, any five clerks you might pick at random from the Treasury benches would do as well—nay, better, for their view, if limited by want of insight, would not at least be coloured and distorted by prejudice. Manifestly this won't do. The first want of India is a man for a ruler ; and till this first want is sup plied no approach will be made to a settlement of the Indian question. One has heard of all site of odd forms of government. Despotisms tempered by epigrams; despotisms tempered by regicide; but of all conceivable modes of administration, the most fatal and the most foolish would seem to be this, Governor-Gcnerilship tempered by Doerr, PZACOCI and GRANT. ttf the whole Council the cunent opinion; in India seems to be that Mr. PEACOCK is the most unexceptionable member. Westminster Hall knew something of this gentleman before he went out to take part in the government of India. An honour. able, excellent, and upright man as ever wore bona baleen and horsehair, the keenest of special pleaders. prmternaturally acute in detecting the minutest flaw in a legal statement. absolutely without a rival in the dexterity with which he could wield, when driven to it, all the weapons, offensive and defensive, of 2 chicane. Such was Mr. P the t master of the Science of Special I (wren: to any wide or far-reaching n ' y • ROT, least of all on any bjcet eon with the great matters of petti _ tory, , life, a more absolutely incapable person it w ould be utterly impossible to conceive—incapable, not only from want of knowledge, but from positive inapti tude for a general view. The mind morbidly sharpened to the minutest exercise of a subtle logical analysis had wholly kat, if it ever possessed, all grasp for wider and nobler objects. And yet thin mere law) er is admitted to be the best man in the Council. And it is to Lord CANNINO and such a Council as this, that Government is still content to trust the destinies of India. If they are, the People are not. The thing cannot go on ea it is. That a change has not been made already is a serious reproach on the Cabinet of Lord PALMERSTON. It cannot be longer postponed without gis ing rise to more serious imputations and more formidable results. IT has been sarcastically, but too truly said, that I in matters of the deepest moment to the moral and religious amendment of mankind, "it le not so easy " to do good as those may imagine who never try." Old habits are so hard to break, ingrained prejudices so difficult to eradicate, the egotism of class and sect is so imperturbable, and the relish for every delusion that contains enough of the alcohol of intolerance is so keen, that many a generous and good man is fain to give up the struggle in despair. He finds that no sacrifice he may vidually make disposes the majority of those with whom he arisociates to do likewise, sad he is, if pos sible, still more mortified and disheartened at finding his exceptional conduct speedily forgot ten, and confounded in the resentment caused by the refusal of others to follow in the way he beckoned. He is even not unfrequently blamed for secring questions he knew not how to settle, and raising hopes beyond his power to realise. A man has need of sagacity quite aa much as of benevolence in his wrestling* with social and sectarian bigotry. If be has not the wit to decoy the Devil into a dis advantageous position, the odds are that he will have the wont of it at the end of the campaign ; and if he does not possess a considerable share of that mes meric power over the wills of other men whereby all the greatest things have been accomplished, he hes bat a poor 'thence of achieving anything worth note or mention. It is but a few months since the Rev. Mr. PEL HAM was chosen to fill the See of Norwich. It was felt by many that noble traditions nettled in a peculiar manner the diocesan throne of Norwich, and that it would pot be easy for any man adequately to fill the place which in popular memory was still associated with the names of BATHURST and of STANLEY. They were very different men in their day and generation ; hat their eminent merits ss prelates consisted in this, that each in turn supplied what was most wanting in hie day to his generation. The venerable form of the courtly yet liberal BATHURST IS still remembered with affection and respect by thousand' who belong not to the fold whereof he was the chief provincial shepherd ; and the fearless and comprehensive charity of the energetic STANGRY is never named without emotions of admiration and sorrow by numbers who never perhaps before or since have thought of an Anglican Bishop with love or spoken of him with praise. Mr. PEL HAM enjoyed many of the advantages of his more popular predecessors. Like them he possessed the advantage of high birth and breed ing; and like them he was known to be actuated by sentiments of thoroughly earnest but thoroughly tolerant piety. Ilia friends did not indeed claim for him any special gifts of li quorice or learning ; but they alleged, and with truth, that he had proved himself to be an excellent pariah priest—a hospitable, gentle, cha. ritable and cheerful worker in concert with all who would work zealously, come whence they might, in the great vineyard. Without any particular display of sentiment or feeling his elevation was hailed with general satisfaction, and on entering his diocese he was received with a quiet but sincere welcome. In the overlie of the first Charge delivered by him to his clergy, the new Bishop set forth in simple and teaching language the sense he entertained of the need that exists of cordial co-operation among the pastors of all religious denominations, if the mass of the community are to be taught and cared for. Instead of brandishing D s crozier in disdain or de fiance before the eyes of his dissenting brethren, he proclaimed his personal readiness to act in concert with all amongst them who would lay aside their jealousy of the Establishment for the sake of the good work which they and he had equally undertaken to share in. The Charge of a Bishop admits not of audible criticism or open controversy, and this offer of practical comprehension pared at the time unquestioned by those to whom it was more immediately addressed ; and by none outside the sacerdotal pals was it likely to be pan elled. The various nonconformist bodies testified silently, but significantly, their appreciation of the right hand of fellowship thus held forth to them, and among the laity of the diocese there was but one feeling—that of satisfaction and approval. Moody discontent and disapprobation filled, on the other hand, the minds of many of the diocesan clergy ; in private they caballed, and in public they murmured. We speak not indiscriminately, nor of all; we know there are exceptions; but we regret to be obliged to say—what recent circumstances appear indeed to leave no room for doubting—that the prevalent feeling of the clergy of Norfolk is as little in unison with the enlightened spirit of their present eccle siastical chief as it was with that of his illustrious predecessors. A narrow and jealous temper still unhappily prevails amongst them ; and while no diocese in the kingdom has contributed less, of late, to the general cause of religious improvement, its parochial and capitolar dignitaries seem actuated by the same spirit of exclusiveness and sectarianism which we have so often had to deplore in their more energetic and eloquent brethren elsewhere. A peculiarly infelicitous occasion is said to have been chosen by the Norwich Ecelesiawica of the high and dry school for the manifestation of their repugnance to Bishop PELHAM'S comprehensive views of Christian duty. The public c Ilection for the relief of our fellow-subjects of all sects and chimes who have suffered recently in India was naturally considered by his lordship as a fitting opportunity for showing that he really meant what be said in his inaugural address. It was proposed by him that on a given day the Ministers of all denorai -1 nations should assemble, along with other persons of , local weight and influence, impartially chosen, to consider the best mode of dealing with the fund thus raised, and as a matter of courtesy the episcopal palace was offered by him as a convenient place of inciting. We are informed that on tho day ap pointed many dissenting Ministers assembled, when, to their no small surprise, an intimation wu con veyed to them that however deeply the Bishop must regret the cause, he found himself unable to carry oat the arrangement he had suggested. In other words, he had found it inpoesible to per- THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY,XVENING, ocroß easti• has Scribes and Pharisees to join with brethisa la rola/silt • rthair own • dred e lfb o ky by, Wa way sidel*banded half d We shall Wont y too glad 4 hear as ing tilt CU ' $l3 said in extenua dip 61' conduct. like this.

Bat we honestly own that, judging by what we have witnessed elsewhere, we are but too well prepared for any amount of shortsighted and stupid intolerance on the part of those amongst the clergy who have become infected with high-priestly notions. Let the laity of the diocese of Norwich rejoice that a Bishop has been sent amongst them bent upon showing them a more excellent way; and let them consider what the 1 effect would be if, instead of the present system of selecting prelates, their nomination were handed over to a majority of the class from which they are Wren.

At that date no answer had ' been received to the demand made by the French Chargé d'Affaires, M. de Baurboulon, through the Viceroy of Canton, to the government of the Celes tial Empire. This document, it is said, demanded satisfaction for divers breaches of conventions, and especially for the murder of the French missionary, the Abbe Chapdeleino, who wee put to death in contempt of the stipulations of the treaty of Whampoa. Lord Elgin wu expected at Hong Kong, from Calcutta, about the end of Aar-4.

On August 11 the corvette Capricieuse and the 11•60 Marceau were at Ningpo ; the admiral'. frigate Nemesis, the steam corvette; Primauget and Phlege ton, the transport La Meurthe, and the first-class gunboat La Mitraille, were at anchor at Thong Koo ; the first-clue gunboats Avalanche and Fuake were at Hong Kong, and the aviso Catinat, and the first-clue gunboat Dragonne, at Macao. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MO: OUR OWN CORHILOPONDINT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVINIXO. No certain confirmation of the fall of the Nervaer ministry has been received in Paris. The Pays, which alone gave the news last night, is to-day silent on the subject. The other journals repeat the Pays' statement without throwing doubt upon it. It is remarkable, however, that a Madrid despatch dated yesterday, the bth, does not say a word of the resignation of minister.. But the Prase ob serves, Very justly, that for a long time past the Madrid telegraph has transmitted netting but trivial news, although it is cer tain that a crisis has been going on for the last six weeks. Assamizig the news to be tree, it is certain that Nervier falls most ingloriously. He is not ousted from power after a parliaments!) , b.lt tle, which is the natural end of a constitutional minister, but he goes out, nobody knows why, after a series of miserable back stair intrigues. It wr s taken for granted by Spanish politicians, that when ever Narvaez resigned, ho would be succeeded by Necedal, a man still more re-actionary thanliimself ; but according to the Presse, which has received letters of Oct. 2, Nocedal has no chance. General de la Rocha, a man of small note, is talked of, and the names of O'Donnell and Bravo Murillo are put forward, but all seem very uncertain. I have reason to believe that Count Walewski, shortly after his return to Paris on October 2, did send a circular to foreign courts relative to the in terview of Stuttgardt. You are are aware that doubts have been expressed in the Continental journals whether this mode of promulgating the re sult of the meeting would be taken, or whether the public would be addressed by a note in the Moniteur or an article in the Conetitationnel. The young Prince Joachim Murat has arrived at Paris from Berlin, loaded with compliments and a decoration. The Bourse has been much less animated, and at the close it was much depressed. The rise of discount in Germany, and the apprehension of ► rise in Lon don, joined to the weakness of Consols, produced a considerable effect. The Rente fell 20e. for cub, and 30c. for account, closing at 68fr. 6c. and 6sfr. 26c. Mobilier fell 17fr. 50c. Railways de clined considetably. Orleans fell 27fr. 60e.; North ern, Eastern, and Lyons, life 60c. each; Southern, 10fr. ; Western, 7fr. 60c.; and Grand Central, lir. 25e. An extremely ridiculous custom,' regulation touching foreign carriages has just received a modification in a liberal sense. By law, carriage. on springs are prohibited from being imported into France. But travellers were allowed to bring their carriages with them, on condition of depositing one third of the value, and undertaking to send them out of the country within three years. The trea sury only returned two-thirds of the deposit when the carriage went away. It, has been found that to avoid this heavy tax many English people take the Dutch route to Italy and Switzerland, instead of passing through France, and therefore the govern ment has decided to dispense with the deposit in the ease of carriages not intended to remain in French territory more than one month. How muck wiser would it be to abolish the antiquated prohibition altogether! SPAIN. MADRID, Ocr. 6. The Gazelle publishes the programme of the eere imonies to be observed on the occasion of the Queen's deliverance. It also contains a decree ordering an inventory to be taken of all the real and personal Peery in SPain. PRUSSIA. The first regiment of infantry of the Prussian guard, into which the King entered as officer half a century ago, celebrated oa the 3rd the anniversary of that event with great solemnity. In the morn ing, his Majesty received the officers, who presented to him a very rich album containing the illustrated list of officers who have served in the corps. At 11 o'clock the King, wearing the uniform of the regiment, and the Grand Cordon of the Black Eagle, mounted his horse, and followed by the princes and a brilliant staff, rode along the front of the regiment which was drawn up in the Lust. garten. The King afterwards took the command and caused the regiment to file off before the window. of the palace, where the Queen, the Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, and the Princesses Charles, Alexandrine, and Anne, of Hesse, were standing. After this, the regiment formed a hollow square, and the King, with his staff, placed himself in the centre, and delivered the following speech : Grenadiers! You know that the late King, flik;reare Mo t formed the battalion of the guard which has been the nucleus of the present first regiment. Thin regulated has wen laurels, and acted worthily in all the battles in which It gas taken part. tp to this lime my reign has bees nine of pease, bet I if it should be the will of God that danger should threaten the connti y, I trust in Providence; and I feel confident that yea will smirch Kitimat the enemy, and attach victory to your cslours, which are mine. The regiment gave gnat sa tisfaction to the bite King, And also to me Sine* the day of I my aeomaion, when I took the oommand of it. I hope and expect that it will 'lamp do the MOM. This address wu received with three cheers. AUSTRIA. The Emperor of Austria arrived on the 2nd at Prague, and left on the following day for Lehi. The Borsenhalle of Hamburg announces from Vienna that all the rumours of Count Buors resigns tion are devoid of foundation. The probable infer ence from this news is that the interview of Weimar will not be productive of any change in Austrian policy. f ai 01867. SWEDEN. The DM of Stockholm at its last sitting voted by acclamation an address to King Oscar expressive of the sympathy Mt by the nation in his Majesty's sufferings. The deputy Stjernsward, who had pro posed to allow to the Prince Regent an increase of his civil list, has not withdrawn his motion, not withstanding the declaration made by the Miniiter of Finance, that the King had made a grant from his privy purse of 16,000 thalers a month to the Regent. The proposition has been referred the Committee of State of the Diet. DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen, in the Prussian Weekly Journal, state that the Danish cabinet intends ad journing the meeting of the general Diet of the kingdom until January next, instead of convoking it, as had been before intended, for the end of the present month. Many of the Holstein members of this Diet have resigned, and others are expected to follow their example. MALTA. Tke Malta Times says: On the arrival of the Las; Indian mail by the PedillSJlr. and Oriental Company's steamer Valletta, her Majesty's gun vessel Wanderer was sort off to telegraph it on to Cagliari. We ere afraid this will be found a vain attempt to antici pate the snivel of the news in England Ma Trieste. We are indeed ate loos to understand the wilful obatinecy of the authorities in neglecting to station one or two fast steamers at Akxandria to convey the Bret intimation of the news by telegraph from Suez, by which in sny WC a saving of at lee - two days would be encored, and in the very probable v ontin gem yof an interval between the arrivals at Suez of the Bombay and Cakutta mails a laving would be effoct:d -- sibly of a much longer period. UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, TVINDAY. The United States mail steam ship Baltic, Captain James Comstock, arrived in the Mersey this after noon from New York with advice' to the 26th of September, 64 passengers, and no specie. The present passage of the Baltic has been com pleted under ten days, and is a capital one for the Meson. The Royal mail steam ship Canada hence at Boston on the 25th ult. The Baltic passed a large steam ship off Cape Cleat on the 6th instant bound west. The Emilia, from Havana to Cadiz, had put into New York in distress, having encountered the late hurricane. Nothing further had transpired regarding the fate of the surviving passengers of the steam ship Central America. The schooner Eldorado, from Galveston, arrived at Boston on the 24th ultimo. This is the schooner so anxiously looked for, the captain of which pro mised to lay by the Central America at six o'clock of the fatal day . on which she was wrecked. She did not save a single soul. The Boston Submarine Company propose attempting to raise the Central America and recovering her treasure, as it is thought she lies in about twenty-eight feet water. They have been awaiting the arrival of the schooner for the purpose of determining the latitude and longi tude of the exact spot where the Central America sunk, as Captain Herndon is reported to have given his position to the captain of the schooner. The gale appears to have been a most severe one, judging from the number of vessels wrecked or damaged. The New York Herald publishes a list of them. We have from Kansas Governor Walker's procla matiox in regard to the October election. In this document the governor expressly and explicitly repudiates the doctrine so officiously set forth by Judge Cato, that none but those who have paid the territorial tax are entitled to vote, and for this position he has the direct authority of the Presi dent, the Secretary of State, and the whole cabinet at Washington. He calls lapin every bond fide in habitant of the territory, who is a citizen of the United States, and has been for six months a resi dent of the territory, to go to the polls and vote, and pledges the employment of the federal troops to prevent the intervention of invaders from Missouri or elsewhere in the election. The New York Times remarks :—" We cannot help thinking that thaw who have so steadily and vehemently insisted that Governor Walker was in alliance with Judge Cato and the pro-slaver, propa ganda in the terntory, and that he did not intend to give the people of Kansas a fair chance to vote, must see in this document evidence that they have done him injuttice, and presented the prospects of Kansas in a much more gloomy light than facts will warrant. We hope the proclamation may also have the effect of re•assuring the hearts of the Free State men in Kansas and of inducing them all to rally at the polls, for the principal danger of a Free-State defeat now lies in the obstinate determination of some of the Free-State men not to vote." The United States agent for Indian affairs on the Upper Platte River has addressed a letter to the go vernment at Washington, complaining of the en croachments of the Mormons, who have taken pos session of some land occupied by the Sioux Indians, whom he had just settled there, and whom he had induced to plant corn. The Indians were driven away by SOO Mormons, who built their own houses there, and ploughed the land for themselves.

THE CAMP AT CHALONS. cmtioNs, ales. 2. The camp itself lies about three-quarters of an boor's slow railway travelling to the S.E. of Chalons, and is formed in the shape of an irregular square, upon one of tholes viva and slightly undulating plains which characterise this pert of Franco. Ito actual circumference, following its irregularitiee, is forty-eight kilometres, and sane portions of it are reckoned nearly three French leagues dissent from each other. The whole of this iinnanea district has been perm,- neatly purchased at various price. from aa low as 80f. or 90f. to ea high as 4,0001. or 5,000 f. the hectare. A fancy of the Emperor to shift the ground, and take in • portion of rich meadow lend lying on the banks of the adjoining streamla. involved an extra expense of some 80,0001. Hie Majesty ie said to have expressed himself diesatidled with the sine of his camp when lat first saw it matted out, nnt'l his engineers laid before hits oemparative plans of it and the Champ du Mal", when ho smiled and saw with satisfaction that in this instance, at all events, he had twenty times out done his great predecease,. The railway terminus at the camp end is fast presenting the appearance of a little wooden suburb. Booths of every sirs• and description are rapidly springing up. amongst which " Chevet, jrunt," from the Palate Royal, towers above all other caterers for the public wants, as much in magnitude of proportion R. celebrity of name.

Certainly nothing can exceed the warm welcome to quarter, of French officers in camp. The moms and one's own feel logs change in the tit nkling of an eye, and one is made to feel that ono has found a home in the wilderness of tented plain which oj/reads far and wide around. A distribution of prima being about to take place to the men of the artillery who had distingulehed themselves as tho beet point. qrs, I found my friends in full togging, and wearing one of the handsomest and most manly uniform, of the Preach arm y, with that inimitable military wragge. r which soldiers of no other nation possess in the wane perfection, and which indeed seems to fit French officers no easily and naturally as thee clothes. Nothing oould beat once neater, simpler, more soldier like, and at the same time snug and comfortable, than the officers' qua: tern. Some even were approaches to a certain degree of ornamentation and luxury. But of this I saw more finished examples subsequently. A large men-room bore evident symptoms of its capacity for administering to the exhausted energiem of the body. A keg stroll through the chief portions of the vast encampment, though presenting nothing beyond the usual features of the tield-life of the soldier, could not fail of being interesting to a civilian. We first pniosieded to the spacious atraby quarters, where • great amount of comp decoration was promeding busily. Plots of ground were being carefully laid out in firrate gardener.' style by some of rye men who were skilled is such matters. Between them, each regiment seemed eagerly bent on outdoing each other ie the ere, lion of • met of trophy half runic, half military, com posed of turf. roek-wort, cannon-bella, flap &c., on the summit of which was placed • bust of the Emperor. The Empress was expected to arrive at the camp in the course ef the afternoon, and all were anxious to give hw the best spe cimen of military tarn Here, also, many of the officers' tents were beginning to be mres.Wed with beds of flowers, or turf, or a few evergreens, and to ammo a more homelike and permanent aspect. "Next year," every one _repeated, " the camp will be beautiful." French officers, like French soldiers, can turn their hand to most things, especially anything artistic. I saw severs' of them employed in making themselves the plaster buds of the Emperor, and Walling off portions of scroll-work with the skill of a sculptor. They seemed to take a part with the men In all that wee going forward, and to he able to do so without Many way derogating from their dignity or authority. A Wig scene, which can be better imagined than described, was going on on all aides in that never-ending department of • soldier's life as well as a milor'n which reinstate in a came leas course of cleaning, polishMg, rubbing, scrubbing, and pipeaclaying every article of his equipment. Polleh ed mamma and helmets were being re-polished with a viper which seemed always to detect some lurking got of runt; whilst jack-boots and dazzling white unmentionables, bite, emirs, sword-belts, and every other accoutrement, were all alike undergoing the same endless proems. Plenty of amuse ment, however, seemed provided for each as had at last arrived at the happy consummation of having nothing left to "rub." Nut to speak of the inexhaustible resources of the carmine (generally, I observed, placed exactly opposite to the officer.' queries, and under their eye), skittle-grounds were neatly laid out and in full practice ; here and there a niece of a few yards square, surrounded by a shallow trench to keep it dry, and • low railing, displayed hung around, all the materials for fencing; another similar enelwore vise devoted to single-stick, or is ramie, as it is term, cl. Music, of coons, in every form of tuition or practice, wee going on in direction+, and resounding even among the distant woods, whither parties had betaken themselvee to be out of hewing of each other ; while dancing was pursued le ith • &figence which promised well for the performances at the Tivoli de Camp ImWrial, which I saw advertised in all directions, at fifty ?animas trtrance for gentlemen, " entrance to ladies free ; ' and spin • repetition of "no retribution demanded from Wise," scooniewied by anotiee that "dame tense' was „ ” is rigurtir" Strolling through endless rows of tents, exhibiting amusing scenes of a soldier's occupations or hours of idleness in peace, we reached the Imperial quarters, which, stretching shag the slope of the southern or higher side of the encamp runt, command a charming view of the glitter i ng white of the plain below, with the villages , and res enclosing hills in the elk:tenon Confident* the native of the material which formed so large a feato-e in it, the ex tremely powerful character of the scene was eint,Aarly re markable. Two or three prominent objects, perhaps, con tributed to this effvct. The frequent *tree of the village churches, and that of Great lifottimekin in particular. aught the eye in the evening sun, and, above all, the lofty WU coin, surmounted by its moss, of the military chapel or altar where mass is performed on Sundays in the open air, crown ing, as it seemed to do, the entire bindeospe, spoke of other aspirations than those connected with the tremen dous powers of destruction which lay maimed around. Long trains of white and grey Arab horse*, some two thousand in number, now excluively used to mount the regiments of Chessman, d'Afrique, were also at this moment passing slowly along different points of the plain in exercise, or on their return from watering, and their quiet appearance, in halter and saddlecloth only, devoid of jingling harness or I dashing sabre, called up pastoral rather than warlike emo thins. To-morrow, I guem, the scene and its associations will have vastly changed upon the spectator when the whole i armed multitude shall have pit forth the t error of war is their utmost mimicry in the performance of the grand. ' mentrurres appointed to take place in honour of the arrive] of the Empress, and, as is generally anticipated, as the closing act of the encampment for the simmer campaign of 1857. To prepare for an early start for the scene of action to-morrow morning I must now lay aside these few pages, very hastily scrawled after the long fatigue end wanderings of the day. I hope to be able to continua my narration of to-morrow's achievement, in time for insertion in your number of Tuesday next ; but, if not, must delay my account of them, as well ae of the ceremony of militias MAW on Sunday, to the following week. The Emperor and Emprces arrived just at unmet at the Mourruelon station, in the gorgeous train prepared for them hy tho company. An slat-major, comprehending Pelkeier, Mullen, and a multitude of other marshals and generals and their staff, met "tem es they descended from the car l'agea, and Loris Napoleon, followed and preceded by his Cent Gerdes, end surrounded by a whole host of his captains and men of war, with his Empires sitting alone by his side, rode into his camp with a stati and pomp which bespoke him the mightiest military monarch of the world, end with a feeling probably in his own breast that he there for-id his surest and Haut home. _ _ Csmess, Oct. 3. The arrival of the Emperor end Emma' at the comp, which I had time only to witness fora few minutes lest night, was followed by extraordinary rejoicings and demonstrations. The Imperial quarters were brilliantly illuminated by a circle of moderator lamp', placed on elegant lamp-posts which en tirely surround th e enclosure. The quarters themselves consist of three principal pavilions of neat appearance; the centre one contain, the sleeping-roome and Imperial cabfiset, that on the left ,e the mess-mom, °retailed monger, and on the right is placed the pavilion for friends and vititora. All around Mend the tents of the sults end household, and, most remarkable of sU the camp for their coquettish embellish ments and decoration., those of the officers of the Cent Garde.. They are the /eau ideal of pleasant and cool retreats in summer and fair weather. In front of most of them the servants of this patrician corps have arranged little orna mental gardens and embenkments of flowers, fresh green turf, rock-work, and fir trees, and sometimes also a exult sort of rural grotto covered in with e5..13 sod imams, and converted into a sort of "butlers pantry" for these luxurious campaigners. The garden. springing up around, against another year, and the situation of the place, such as I have before endeavoured to describe it, commanding views of the entire ernsmptinent, will render it anything but an unplea sant spot for rustication when Louis Napoleon has a mind t 3 relax himself for a few weeks in summer by playing the soldier. In front of there quarters the bands of nearly all the regiments assembled last night to greet the Emprees on her arrival with their strains. A vast body of troops also ate tended them with torch In hand, while throughout the length of the entire line feta de joie, aocompenied with the salutthof the great guns, airoke the night echoes with their mingled rat tling and boomiog. Under the infilleglee of a bright moon light—the moon being, if I mistake not, at the full, ths scene, sa described, must have been as effective as animated. All this, however, was lent to myeelf and many other, enable to avail ourselves of the hospitality o Ifrieuds in the camp and join their mesa, by. /mirth urangernent of the railway people, who start their last train for Chalons, except on Sunday., at 6 o'clock. It is worth remarking that the Emperor has succeeded in establishing messes fur the officers, after the English fashion, in all the regiments of the Guard. This hes not been effected without considerable difficulty. and I am told that the wealthier officers have generally been obliged to come to the sill of their poorer brethren. and furnish the funds neceesary for a Prat eetablishment, on the condition of comae of being gradually repaid their advance'. There iv no doubt that the Emperor'e object in introducing changes of this nature is to more or illSl4 ariatocreeine the Fre army, and so gradually gather round him a militar y whom be may depend on to support Iris throne and dynasty. Oar own word "mess" hr, been tinier silly adopted for this novel innovation in the French army, and gives occasion for numerous ridiculous blunders by br ing confounded with its emleeinericel cognomen.
