NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The Emperor Napoleon has caused to be re-
printed in the public journals the remarkable
letter which he addressed two years ago to IL
Thou venal. In that document we are reminded
what his Majesty's thoughts than were, and it is
obviously re-published now ia order to show
how closely his present "ideas" correspond with
those which formerly moved him in regard to
the Italian kingdom and Rome. The respective
positions of the two antagonistic powers ate
clearly and frankly defined. Victor Emmanuel
and the people of Italy are represented as "for-
getting the recognised rights of a power which
has lasted ten centuries," and as proclaiming.
" without any consideration for so ancient an
acknowledged institution, the fall &the Papacy."
of the other side it is said that, "without re-
gard for the legitimate claims of the rights of the
people, it condemns without a scruple a portion
of Italy to eternal stagnation and oppression."
Hence "one party dkposes of a still-existing
powers. if it were defunct, and the other a
people that supplicates for life is if it were
deal." That is the summary way in which the
powerful arbiter of the fate of the two powers
sketches the substantial hones as
to theyixcortoe
strike him. Who is navigate in be-
tweet such • Scylla and such • Charybdis I
is but one thing font; either Italy must give
way to the Pops, or the Pope to Italy, or a
mid-channel must be found in the nature of a
compromise between both. The Pope and his
friends anathematise the aew kiwi/dons ,• bat the
new kingdom is an accomplished feet whit& has
been widely recognise% which even Austria,
who has been rified of her territory, is said to be
ready to recognise, and which France especially
is bound to maintain. Well, in this dilemma,
which has now remained open for several yeses,
the Emperor naturally inclines to a compromise.
It is a policy exemplified in the recent conven-
tion; and yet it would pot be • very difficult
teak to argue, from the peopositions set forth in
the Emperor's letter to M. Thoaveual, that it
was the Pope rather than the King who ought
to yield. A manifest preference is given through-
out to the nationalities. It was the "idea" on
which the Emperor went to war with Austria;
and what difference lie can ese between Austria
and the Papal government it is difficult to
ions/ins on any other hypothesis than that it is

embarrassment which has beset Emperors and
Kinp professing the Roman faith for centuries.
It is clear that the Emperor ham at length bowed
before it, or he would not have stipulated with
the King of Italy, not only that be should rest
and be thankful with Florence for a capital, in-
stead of the ambition that has hitherto filled his
dreams, but that he should undertake to protect,
with his own troops, the integrity of the Papal
seat of government. This may turn out to be a
final arrangement, but we are by no means
assured as yet that it will be ratified without a
shock to the tranquillity of Europe.
The text of Herr Von Bismarke reply to Earl
Russell has not yet been published, but
a Berlin semi-official paper, in an article on
the subject, indicates its tone and purport. The
Prussian premier, it appears, does not enter
iuto the details of Lord Russell's note, but con-
tents himself with correcting one or two of
the noble lord's statements. He says the Eng-
lish Foreign Secretary's fears relative to the
nationalities of North Sleswig ans unfounded;
and he expresses his satisfaction that England is
now paying more attention to the wishes of the
Duchies than she did at the London conference.
As far as one can judge of the brief telegraphic
abstract, M. Bismark's tone throughout is as
cynically sarcastic as diplomatic forms will allow.
The Midland Counties Anti-Melt Tax Asso-
ciation have commenced renewed action with a
view of getting rid of the impost on malt.
At a meeting held at Birmingham recently.
Mr. Bearden, one of the gentlemen who takes
an active part in this council of war, made the
sensible suggestion that the association should
bat of all Obtain the sinews of war. The great
Anti Corn Law League, be said, carried that
mud immure only with the help of money and
intelligence. Let them subscribe at once • fund
of £100,000; let them educate the people—
meats an intelligent public opinion—and then
they would carry their point; but until they did
that it was worse than melees to pass any resolu-
tions. Another speaker proposed to make up
the loss to the national exchequer as follow.:
One penny to be levied on each first and second.
class railway ticket, as a permanent tax; a gra-
duated tax of one shilling, eightpence, and six-
n•ie per ton on coals rabid at the pit's month,
for a period of three years ; and also a graduated
tax on the poor rats aressaient. The meeting,
however, grew alarmed at these propositions,
ant it was resolved to let details alone.
Eventually the following resolution was adopted:
—"The members of the Midland Counties Anti-
malt Tax Association hereby pledge themselves
to vote only for those members of Parliament
who are in favour of the repeal of the malt-tax,
and to use all their influence to induce others to
do the same." It was also resolved to offer •
prim of £25 for the best, and flO for the second
beet, prize essay showing the national benefits
likely to arise from the repeal of the malt-tax,
and a sub-committee was appointed to settle
and publish the terms and conditions of com-
petition.
Confederate prospects do not improve. The
battle which has just been fought on a large
male in the Shenandoah valley between Early,
Lee's favourite lieutenant, and Sheridan, the
young Northern General whom Grant has
salsoted for his promising talents according to
Federal amino* was a complete victory for
the latter. The Federate, we are told, made the
attack ; the battle raged with fierceness through-
out the day, and in the evening the Confederates,
who had fought with their usual dogged per-
sistence, were compelled to retreat. No estimate
Is given of the numbers of the two contending
forms. The lON in killed and wounded seems to
have been nearly equal, but the Federal* cap-
tured a large number of Southerners. The
amounts differ as to the proceedings subsequent
to the battle—one report stating that Sheridan
started in pursuit the day following, another
that he had not moved. Five generals, includ-
ing the celebrated cavalry leader Imboden,
appears to have been killed on the Confederate
side, while the Northerners had one killed and
three wounded. The military news from other
quarters is not important General Grant, who
had been to Washington to urge upon Lincoln
to send large reinforcements, has returned to
his army near Petersburg, and is again stated to
be pushing his army westward from the Weldon
railway towards the Danville-road. A proof
either of the weakness of his army as a whole,
or of mistaken strategy in extending his &ligament
too far, is furnished by the fact that four brigades
of Confederate cavalry has been able to carry off
a large quantity of Grant's cattle, driving off
the Federal detachments sent in pursuit, and
capturing one whole regiment. On a small
soda the war has now been extended to the
lakes in the West, two small steamers plying on
Lake Erie having been captured and destroyed
by Confederate passengers Two Confederate
war steamers, fitted out in Canadian ports, are
alleged to have made their appearance on Lake
Erie, but the statement must be accepted with
doubt. Tbe secretary reports favourably of
the progress of the draft and of volunteering,
which also, until confirmed by tangible evidence,
roust be accepted with many grains of salt.
General Fremont has at length formally with-
drawn from the Presidental contest. Mr.
Vallandigham, the peace democrat, is stated to
have made a speech at Brayton, in Ohio, de-
claratory of he intention to support General
lit'Clellan. This was on the 18th of September,
and a comparison of dates will probably show
that the speech in question was made before the
publication of M'Clellan's letter of acceptance.
On the receipt of that letter Mr. Vallandigham
is reported to have abandoned the Chimp
nominee—a course which is certainly more in
consonance with his well-known and repeatedly-
expressed opinions on the conduct and policy of
the war.

The Chicago Tribune, a paper favourable to
the Lincoln government, publishes an address
of General Paine, of Kentucky, to the democrats
of that State. "My command to you"
(democrats), exclaims General Paine, "ii, that
all of you notorious rebels get out of your
bowies and leave my district, so that Union
men may coins and take your places, and help
me to redeem this oountry . . I shall shoot
every guerilla taken in my district; and if your
Southern brethren retaliate by shooting a
Federal eoldiar, I will walk out five of you rich
bankers, brokers, and oottonimen, and make you
kneel dovrn, sad shoot you. I will do it, so help
me God l . . . . If a Union man is mur-

dared by guerillas here, the same fate awaits five
of you. I have sworn it and it shall be done."
Such is the tender consideration for the liberty
of the white man which the.. have who prawn
to be fighting for the freedom of the blacks?
But is the North really carrying on this bloody
contest for the benefit of the negro I We have
said DO many times, and we have a proof of it
from the mouth of President Lincoln himself
now. In a recent interview which Judge Willie
had with the chief magistrate of the Republic,
the latter stated that he cared more for the
restoration of the Union than be did for the
abolition of slavery; and it was because he did
so, and the farmer could not be effected without
the aid of the negro as a combatant, that be up-
held the emancipation policy. It would use up
all the white men in the North, he said, to put
down the South—nay, all the white men in the
North could not do it. It is the 200,000 able-
bodied coloured men who are in the Federal
army he depends upon to subdue the Confede•
rates. The black men are, in fact, to be made
the instruments of enslaving the Southern whites.
"Abandon," the President says, "an the poets
now garrisoned by black men, take 200,000 men
from our aide and put them in the battlsfied
or corn-field against us, and we should be com-
pelled to abandon the war in three weeks." It
is plain, then, that Mr. Istiooln values the blacks
as "able bodies"--so muck available bone and
muscle towards awry* on the fight. Probably
be sees the folly of keeping up the my of
humanity or tender feelings for the blacks, in a
war where his generals treat those who We white
with the most llegiant indifferent* to everything
that approaches to coodderation for a fellow-
Ming.

The MATOS said the allusion to that bygone event
demanded a few remarks from him. When application
was made for the no of the room Mr. Muadey did not
