Royal princes, even when they happen to be
field-marshals, and when they are feasting royal
guards, are never supposed to make what is vul-
garly called an " after-dinner " speech—that is, a
speech not fairly amenable to criticism. Besides,
there is a deliberate purpose, a positive animus in
this careful historical summary and its prefatory
reflections, which forbids the idea of an improvisa-
tion. More ill-omened words on a feetive occasion
it has never been my misfortune to read. One
could wish they had not been spoken, or spoken
with closed doors. In the paroxysm of the Crimean
war the same illustrious speaker, in the capacity of
a Master Pilot, assured his brethren of the Trinity-
house that "constitutional government" (contrasted
with continental despotisms) "was on its trial."
Those words were little noticed at that painful time,
but they have rankled in the heart of England ever
since. Constitutional government has come out of
that fiery furnace ; is it destined to pass through
other and more serious trials I Whatever amidst
pelmet, Sir, may lurk in words which have the
supreme infelicity of clothing a most alien senti-
ment in very choice English, I don't for one mo-
ment pretend to think that they are capable of
doing any mischief in this country. They were
addressed to a body of gentlemen English to the
backbone, and hereditarily attached to English
liberties ; but I hope I may not be deemed
disloyal if I express a hope that before
a Royal Prince talks again in public (for
a reported speech is spoken to the public) in
this complacently emphatic tone about " British
soldiers standing in arms against their own country-
men," and thus " obeying implicitly the commands of
their Sovereign, to whom they have sworn fidelity;"
about the " Royalists who clung to Charles IL
in exile," and soldiers who proved true to
James 11., and to George 111. "against his
revolted American colonies," —he will usurp
that special privilege of a constitutional monarch
which consists in being " unaccustomed to public
speaking," or at least in delivering only speeches
written by constitutional advisers. Of course it
were enormously absurd to pretend that the
British people, which tolerated the four Gionoss,
SA useful though ungraceful flywheels to the
constitutional machine, is likely to be alarmed
at this untimely apparition of ancient " royalism"
at a military festival. The British people (by
which I don't mean what the French call le people,
but the entire nation, from top to bottom) is strong
enough to put up with a good deal of " tall talk."
But could not the invaluable extra-military ser-
vices of Major-General Grey be called in next
time the Colonel of the Grenadiers charges the
British constitution at their head am, etc.,

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

T
THE CONFERENCE AT BADEN.
The following telegram has been received at Mr.
Reuter's Aloe :

BADEN, TUISDAT EVINING.

In yesterday's conference of the sovereigns at the
castle at Baden the King of Wurtemburg, in the
name of the Federal governments, returned thanks
for the patriotic representation of the interests et
Germany by Prussia. His Majesty also expressed
a desire that an understanding should be brought
about between Prussia and Austria. The sove-
reigns offered their good offices for that purpose.
The King of Wurtemburg informed the Prince
Regent that the German government are occupied
in drawing up a military convention, which adopts
as nearly as possible the Prussian views on military
organisation, and her proposals respecting reforms.
His Majesty, in conclusion, said that the Federal
governments, on their part, expected that Prussia
should take conciliatory steps in reference to
German policy.

The Grand Duke of Baden then said that this
decimation of his Majesty the King of Wurtemburg
could not be made in the name of all the Federal
governments, as several important governments
had not taken part in the discussions relative to
the said military convention. Baden could not
give her adherence to the Prussian proposals.
A summary of the Prince Regent's reply was
published yesterday.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nos ous owl

PARIS, TUMDAT EVISING.

There are already a great many circumstances
confirmatory of the decided opinion which I ex-
pressed yesterday, that the journey to Baden-
Baden was a failure. The object of that journey—
as the Prase of this evening very adroitly calls to
mind, by an apropos quotation from a late number
of the
.Pays—was the "development of French in-
fluence in the world." That any step has been
made good in that direction is contradicted posi-
tively by the Prince Regent's speech to the assem-
bled sovereigns at Baden, and implicitly even by
the Moniteur itself. The Prince Regent took the
earliest opportunity after the Emperor's departure
to say that the " principal " object of his anxiety
was the maintenance of Germany in all its " in-
tegrity," and that he should continue to walk
in the path which he had "hitherto followed."
Far from hinting, even in the remotest way,
that any important consequences were likely
to flow from the French Emperor's volunteered
viait, he merely thanks the German princes for
having been so good as to come to Baden to
" receive," in common with him, the " pacific
assurances" of that sovereign. They heard what
he had to say—that's all. It is true that all the
crowned heads dined together afterwards in a
picturesque ruin, and the Moniteur fastens upon
this pic-nic and a tea party afterwards as evidence
that there was " something more than courtesy "
in the relations between the parties to this " august
meeting." It is surely not wonderful that kings
should be well bred enough to do what country attor-
neys do at every assize town—dine together socially
without quarrelling about business. The Monifeur,
although it talks in a loose way about the conference
"consolidating the peace of the world," is not able
to say more in substance than the Prince Regent.
It admits that the Emperor went to Baden-Baden
in the hope of clearing himself of suspicions that
were entertained of his designs, and takes for
granted, of course, that the step has silenced "a
unanimous concert of malevolent rumours and

misconstructions." In the Prussian manifesto
there is not a word to indicate whether, in con-
sequence of the " pacific assurances" which the
sovereigns assembled to hear, there is a jot
more confidence felt than there was before. The
expression in the opening lines of the para-
graph in the Monikur that the Emperor's
rapid voyage will, "we doubt not, produce
happy results," is singularly weak, and
falls far short of the anticipations upon the
strength of which a rise was got up at the Bourse
yesterday.
To-day, notwithstanding • rise off per cent. in
Console, the Bourse was very heavy, and the
Rents fell 25c. both for cash and account, closing
at 681 r. 75c., and 68fr. 70c. ; Mobilier fell l2fr.
50c. The Orleans Railway fell 7fr. 50c. ; Eastern,
3fr. 75c. ; Lyons, sfr. ; and the other lines from
If r. 25c. to 2fr. 50c.

The government prints are singularly silent
about the results of the interview of Baden, an
additional proof that the real return is nil.
The Diario of Madrid contains the following
French news, which, among other doubtful state-
ments, goes to confirm the assertion of the Bishop
of Amiens, that the government has authorised the
negotiation of a loan to the Pope :
A superior officer of the pontifical army has lately arrived
in Paris to receive the rifled ninnon presented to the Holy
Father by the Emperor. Instructions as to the manner of
using these arms have been drawn up by the Committee of
Artillery, and will be translated into Italian. Notwith•
standing, however, the amicable relations evidenced by
these facts, the courts of Rome and Paris have not been
able to agree about the nomination of • uew bishop of
Vannes. But, by way of set-off, the government will
permit the Roman loan, and Messrs. Blount and Co. have
undertaken to bring it out.

A pamphlet, with this heading, " MacMahon,
King of Ireland," is published by Dentu to-day,
and exposed in all the booksellers' windows.
The Moniteur publishes the official return of the
customs' revenue for the month of May, amount-
ing to 9,910,257 fr., being a decrease of 8,057,556 fr.
on the same month of 1859, and of 8,217,628 fr. on
that of 1858. The receipts of the first five months
of the present year amounted to 57,212,595 fr.,
being 19,328,672 fr. lees than in the corresponding
period of 1859, and 18,54.5,581 fr. lees than in that
of 1858.
