and civilization. Slavery could not exist on one
side the frontier, nor any secure freedom on the
other. All t'oia is very trite to people who
have real knowledge of the cue ; but it is
necessary 'co repeat it till everybody understands
it, or until enough persons understand it to stop
the for;lish and mischievous talk of an armistice,
whie.i would only prolong and embitter the war, I I
ane, proposals of " an accommodation" which is in' I
BM very nature of things impossible. I
It is said that the French EMPEROR had j
interviews with Mr. SLIDELL before communicat-
ing with other Courts. Does Mr. SLIDELL hold
out any prospect of the abolition of slavery in
the South f If so, the Confederate Government
will either disown Mr. SLIDELL, or admit that it
has surrendered the fundamental principle of its
polity and its constitution. This would be an
announcement so important to the world that the
world would not be left to learn it from the corre-
spondence
of European Sovereigns. And if Mr.
SLIDELL holds out such a prospect on his own re-
sponsibility, so much the worse for Mr. SLIDELL
and for those who believe him. But nobody sup-
poses that the South will abolish slavery except
as a necessity of war.
If not, what has the Confederacy to offer to
induce the North to give up its cause, and spare
its enemy, just when that enemy is weakened by
, discords, and perplexed by poverty ?

The Princess of Prussia made her late ascent of
Vesuvius on foot, scrambling, slipping, and struggling with
her companions. After remaining about 6rlf an hour the
royal party began to descend—ankle deep in fine ashes,
eliding, involuntarily running, the only difficulty being to
keep themselves from rolling to the bottom. One gentle-
man broke the scabbard of his sword ; and the Princess
found herself almost shoeless or bootless, and, as the
Neapolitans would say, compelled to rimediare con an
fa:mkt:to.

Mr. Childers, M.P., has been lecturing to his
inetituente at Pontefract on the American war. After
going at some length into the causes which had led to the
war, Mr. Childers confessed he did not see any hope of the
two parties agreeing to a peace. Whatever was done, how-
ever, must be done by the North, as the South was fighting
in its own defence. He expressed an opinion, however,
that the time had arrived when it was merely a question
on what terms the belligerents should separate.

A letter from Rome says :—" The King of
Naples has at last relieved the papal exchequer of a portion
of its burdens by renouncing further enjoyment of the
costly hospitality of the Quirinal, sod commencing house-
keeping on his own account with the Count and Countess
of Trani at his reoeotly-restored residence, the Farness
Palace. The Queen Dowager, his step-mother, was lees
ready to relinquish the good living and lodging so gener-
ously provided by his holiness ; but the indignant lemon-
'trances of King Francesco have now induced her to evacu-
ate the Quirinal also, and to instal herself and her family
at the Nepoti Palace, situated at the southern extremity of
the Corso. With regard to the return of the young Queen
to Rome, which wai looked upon as certain, in consequence
of the good offices of Monsignors Kegretti, it appears that
the realisation of the royal reunion is again as distant as
ever."

France also seems again to havi a surplus, although not of
such extent as to agues any important quantity to be at.
tracted by our present prices.
