LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8.

Tim Royalist insurrection at Neufchatel hoe been
suppressed ; th, ugh not, if the Istest despatches
may be believed, quite so easily as was at first res.
ported. On the mot fling of the 6th inst. the Cantonal
republican force, bating been joined by a squadron
of Federal cavalry, attacked the town and castle.
The Prussian party made goad their positions for as
hour ; but were ultimately defeated, with a loss, it
is raid, of fifteen thirty wounded, and two or
thew I:Hndred prisoners. Tb:s Emessle has been on
un limited a scale, and has so speedily been pat an
end to, that it would scarcely hose deserved notice
had it cot been for circumstances that appear to

call for Expl.catioa on the part of tbetruleisa
Ouvcrtuneut.

The severacce of Neufchatel from the Prussian
monarchy, and its incorporation into the Helvetic
League, it wilt ba remenat aired, was one of the results
of the rrvoluti--nary movements of 1848. When the
work of the revolution was undone, both In
Germany and Italy, it wes not thought worth while,
even by the most ardent reactionaries, to null in
question what had been done at Neufchatel. Ths
popular tee:ing had been uutquivocslly expressed,
the diet ric• itself was—both on account of its smallness
and remoteness—of absolutely no value to Prussia,

and its existence under an alien government,
within the limits of the Helvetic League, was a eon-
aunt snores of embarrassment to the Federal autho-
rities. But the Junksr fiction at Berlin is too
uncompromising in its hostility to everything that
bears the impress of a popular origin, to allow any
weight to coneiderati.me like those. This party he
therefore begun of late to clamour for the Institution
of Neufchatel to Prussia ; end it has found a few
kindred spirits among the ultra•sristoerats of the
district It is true that the Junkie party is not in
very goci upon with the most intelligent and
Influential members of the present Pres-
alas Cabinet. There is little love lost between
the Permian bureaucracy and the Prussian
hereditary ariprocrats. But it is not the lees tree
that the camaraa which has possession of tbs royal
ear in Pru-sta is devoted to the isseskir flation. This
being the °set, two circumstances deserve to be noted
in connexion with this Neufchatel tempest in a
teapot. Tim first is, that an attempt we. made by
the representatives of Prussia, at the Conferences of
Paris, to miser the question of the restitution of
Neufchatel to that Power. The stored is, that the
Berlin correspondent of • mornisg contemporary—
the same who, at an early period of the Oriental
struggle, telegraphed the departars of an imaginary
courier with the Chevalier &Meltes litters of recall
from Berlin—telegrsphed on Friday from that

capital that—" The ROyalista in Neuiriatel have re-
mimed the snthority there of whisk the Rept)limas
deprived them in 1848." This premature song of
triumph appears to indicate that the inearreetiosary
movement in Neufchatel had accomplloss in Berlin—
if, indeed, it did not emanate from some central maim
mittee there. And the previous attempt to were the
fermentative, of the Great Powers &gambled at
Paris to sanction the resumption of its authority wee

conspirators have mesas to and Mamas over indi-

repeat that we acquit the majority of the Premise OM
binet of all eonsplivity with each batelvierst bat it is
obvious that they owe it to their own good name with
the net of Europe to disassociate themselves with
those conspirators ; and that if they regard the
stability of their own power they will insist epos
knowing whether there is a serest power in the Court
greater than their own.
The suspicious eiresonstanose to which we have been
arming deserve the serious attention of the liberals
of the whole of Europe. We hear sontisnally of the
conspiracies and 'met anoodatione of tevolutioniete I

their machinations are directed spinet the rights of
the people, es when they are directed against the
tights, real or imaginary, of sovereigns.

THE CORONATION OF THE
EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

THE EMPEROR'S PUBLIC ENTRY INTO
MOSCOW.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL '4)RRESPOISPENT.)

I write in the strong hope that long before this
letter hes reached you, your readers will have been
informed, through ...no medium of my telegraphic de•
'patch, transmitted on the day of the coronation, that
that great event lest length a fait accompli. It may
appear strange, but it is nevertheless true, that until
the official Gazette appeared this morning it was
quite uncertain whether the ceremo•ial would take
place or not, it being generally understood that, should
the weather prove unfavourable, the Emperor would
wait for a liner day. Is. the morning the sky wee

hours continued to pour down with vexations patina.

public suffered • protracted agony, but at last the
pluvial deities relented,theeloude broke freely, and the
bright sun shone dazzlingly on green cupola and golden
spire, and everything was joy, expectation, and ex-
citement. An immense crowd was naturally expected,
and accordingly everyone wes afoot for his or her
trysting place at a very early hoar. Those who had
taken seats on the line at Ave, ten, or twenty roub!es
each were determined to be in time, and might
bo seen at eight or nine o'clock scrambling
up the galleries, each furnished with at least
nine hours' rations. carefully made up in
baskets or handkerchiefs. You might have fancied

you were walking down one of the main avenues of
London on • coronation day, so similar in the main
features were the arrangements, so perfectly alike

ladies in their gay toilettes and bouquets, the old
ones looking fierce in the conventional mothwin-law
turban, the Peres de female, and thejeume gent, tot

the Ishmaeloffski Regiment, formed three sirup,
