address was read by the clergyman of the pariah.
The King of Denmark returned thanks on behalf of
his royal son-in-law and daughter. There was a
large concourse of people, by whom their royal
highnesses were heartily cheered.

GERMANY.

THE EMPRESS EUGENIE.
(nom OUR OWN COBIBISPONDIM.)
FRANKFORT, Bzre.l3.

The presence of the Empress Eugenie in our
neighbourhood has brought additional life to this
town by the constant influx of visitors of rank on
their way to Schwalbach. This will compensate
our large hotel keepers somewhat for the bad season
they have had, mostly by their own fault iu driving
passengers away by exorbitant charges. The King
of Prussia arrived on Saturday, and started on Sun-
day to Schwalbach, where he stopped with the Em-.•
press for an hour and a half. The Einpress received
him on the landing, and when be left she came to
the balcony and nodded to him again. The Queen.
of Holland paid, on the same day, a visit to the
Empress, and the two illustrious ladies took a walk
in the public promenades, and then Eugenie
followed the Queen to her carriage when she left,
and took by repeated kissing a most hearty fare-
well. The way being thus cleared by legiti-
macy, the Duchess of Nassau will now equally
come to Schwalbach and stay there for
a few days. People wonder whether other
royal and ducal ladies will for the occasion so
far master their old aristocratic feelings as to
condescend to pay their civilities to the now
legitimist Empress. Reports from Schwalbach state
that the Empress Eugenie is by far the most
popular guest of rank amongst the many they have
had there this season ; she walks every morning near
the springs, is always in good spirits and talking
sans gene to the visitors • of course every
respect is paid to her. As soon as she came
she ordered away all the gendarmes who had been
placed in gala uniforms iu the promenades and near
her residence. While many delicate people take
the water of the spring by tubes, like sherry-
cobbler, the Empress takes hers like common people,
and stated openly about tubes, "Je le trouve
tree ennuyant." At 9 o'clock the Empress re-
turns for breakfast, takes her bath at 12, her
dinner at 2 o'clock, then makes an excursion to
Schlangenbad, Hohenstein, or some beautiful spot
in the vicinity, and in the evening she returns
to the springs ; at 8 o'clock she takes her tea, and
at 10 everything is quiet in her house, night has
set in • she lives, therefore, in the Germani fashion.
Though attired with great taste, she always appears
in plain dress, without any jewellery, embroidery,
or flying ribbons ; still old bodies think her " jupous
exoessivemeut retrouss4s." On Sunday she went to
mass in the catholic church, and she has on every
occasion thanked people for the attention paid to
her, and told the landlord "Noun sommes
admirablement logda," and that she would
come again in June next. All this proves what
I have so often stated, that national animosities
have happily died away in this country, and it re-
mains only with the French to keep the peace, and,
whatever their form of government may be, to
keep on the most friendly terms with their German
neighbours. It was always only the bragging and
the overbearanoe of the French press which led to
retorts and disgusted the German people. The
forbearance shown by France during the Danish
quarrel has mainly induced the people to look to
her now in the same friendly spirit as during the
reign of Louis Philippe.

By the eianity of the Empress the season at
Wiesbaden continues to be brilliant, and numerous
visitors fleck there to see the splendid car-
riages by which she came from Pan+ to that sta-
tion. The saloons were crowded last Sunday. I
noticed the Princess Metternich leaning on the
now indispensable walking-stick—by the bye, aa
ugly thing, more adapted to the witches in Macbeth,
and to the old nurse; in Shakespeare's plays, than
to fashionable young ladies. The Prince and
the Princess Metternich are residing now at
their demesne of Johannisberg, about ten
English miles from Schwslbach, on one of the most
charming spots on the Rhine. It is currently re-
ported that tho Empress will stop there for some
time after leaving Schwalbach, and that the Em-
peror will come than to see her home. I am glad
to say that the gambling contractors do not make an
extra harvest by the unexpected presence of so
many foreigners. I noticed only small stakes ; still it
is very probable that the large gamblers are so late
in the season at the end of their means.

A; the fatal period which Prussia has fixed for the
seceders from the Zollverein to join it again
(October') approaches, the Chambers of Commerce
in these states are raising a cry of distress, and urge
their governments to accede at once, as any inter-
ruption of the existing free intercourse will be utter
ruin to them. There is no doubt these governments
must submit to the nect.ssity, atter liaviug, by
dynastic propensities for Austria, tried to overturn
the whole commercial system on which the welfare
of their people is morally based, sod it must be
admitted that on this question Prussia was consis-
tently on the right aide. And of the seceders, two
of them, Nassau and Darmstadt, will hate to pay
the penalty to be only admitted again, after having
done away with the Rhine tolls. which they yet
raise, to the great annoyance and loss of shipping.
The conferences upon the treaty of commerce be-
tween Austria and Prank' are about to be opened at
Prague, and as both governments are now on good
political terms, a satisfactory result way be ex-
