PARIS, Tvesosr 1111.111116.
When, two days since, I noticed with anxiety a
paragraph in the Paris paper@ to the effect that the
state of health of M. Mania was such as to cause
uneasiness to his friends, I was far from anticipating
that it would be so soon my painful duty to an-
nounce his death. As correspondent of the Daily
Newt, to which he was a frequent contributor, I
enjoyed the hosour of his personal acquaint-
ance. I was about to caU on him this
very day at his modest lodging in the
I Rue Blanche, when 1 heard that he had
I breathed his last at four o'clock this morning.
A disease of the heart is stated to have been the
sense of his death. Ile was only fifty-three years
of age. In him the Republican party in Europe
has lost its most practical champion. Others may
be in reality as honest and sincere, but none among
the fallen leaders of the great movement of 1848,
stood forth before the world so pure in purpose as
Daniel Martin. his defence of Venice, when throw-
ing off the barrister's gown, he assumed the com-
mand of the patriot force, and inspired his followers
with confidence, will be recorded as one of the most
heroic acts in history.: The Courrier de Paris says
of him:—" We will speak to-morrow of this man.
one of the greatest of our age—of this man, who
was the hope of Italy, and whose death is a cause
for universal mourning." Menin will be buried on
Thursday. The funeral service will be performed
at Trinity Chapel, in the Rue de Clichy.
A letter from Stuttgardt, in the Nord of Brussels,
gives sonic precise details concerning the approach-
ing meeting of the Emperors:
The Emperor Napoleon is to arrive hero on the 25th in the
afternoon, the Emperor Alexander having preceded him a
little. Tho Emperor Napoleon is to occupy apartments in
the Kings palace, as are oleo Count Walewski and the other
personages of his Majesty'. suite. The Emperor Almond.
is to lodge in the villa of the Prince. Royal, at the gates of
the city, on the reed toCanetatt, and Prince Gortchakoff, Mi-
Later of Foreign Affairs of linen., in the old chateau near the
palace. The Emperor Napoleon, on the day of his arrival,
is to dine with the King. The Emperor Alezauder, on the
someday, is to dine at the villa of the Princess Royal. The
plasm is afterwards to give a ewe,* toe very small party,
which the King and the Emperor Napoleon sre to attend.
It is there that the drat interview of the two Emperors will
take place. If I am well informed, this interview will haven.,
edam witneseas then the King and the Princess. At the
seas time, Baron do Hugel, Minister of foreign
Andra of Wurtenakerg, will give a .ire, which
wOl be attended by Count Walawskl, Prince Omit-
abattoir, the principal peraintagw if the govern-
ing. of Wurtemberg, the members of the diplomatic body,
sad the suit. of the two Emperor,. On the 26113 the King
will give a grand dinner at the palm*, at which the two
Emperors, the members of the royal Welly, the Maim el
Foreign Affairs of Francis and Rom., the suites of their
Mejenka, the Ministers of Wartemberg, and the dignitaries
of the court, ate to be present. Nothing is yet decided sa
to the departure of the Emperor Napoleon, but it ie not
thought that it will take place before the 211th.-: Notwith-
standing all that has been mid, there was never seriously any
ineetion of tts Empress Eugenie coming hare.

A Madras letter of August 11, communicated to

PARIS, MONDLT ETE/11110.
The Df bats offers the following sensible rejoinder
to certain continental journals which affect to hold
cheap the resources of England, and her ability to
maintain a protracted military struggle :
Those who ban their calculation on the probable ex-
haustion of the military resources of England appear to
forget that England is, after all, a nation of IS million molds,
and that her military organisation, however defective it may
be, permitted her to concentrate mon than 30,000 roan under
the wells of Sebastopol. Why also should not be takes into
Doomed the anneal disposition of a nation which has in all
times adapted its •Burt. to the difficulties it has to urenome

mencement of its wan, but which is randy discouraged. and
which gains in strength ea the struggle continue I' England
already agitated by the bad news from India, ►nd we shall
soon see offers made from all parts of the kingdom similar to
that of the inhabitant, of Sheffield. Without pretending to
dive into the future, we csunot admit that a nation gifted
with such resources and such energy can be diffinitively
beaten by an insurrection of Asiatics, who have learnt the
art of war in its pay, but who have not yet been able to
