A STRIKING HISTORICAL RP:I7EIIMT
TDB ENGLISH GOVRANNENT AND NA-
-I.OLEON 111.

A highly panegyrical memoir of the public life of
the late Count Walewski appeared last week
in the Journal el, a Deb do. We extract from it ths
following curious, and u we believe hitherto in-
edited page of blistery, which we commend to
Mr. Kinglake's attention, for the next edition of
his famous chapter on the Second Empire.

On the 2nd of December, 18.51, a new revolution took
place in Paris and extended from Paris throughout
France. France received a new republioan constitution
and the government of the Republic was entrusted for tea
years to Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. Count
Wakirshi had to make these changes acceptable to the
British government. At Seethe met with no difficulties. la
1851 the English ministry was presided over by the
Marquis of Lansdowne ; Lord Russell was the Premier
and Lord Palmerston the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
The Cabinet accepted as an accomplished fact the
government of Frew* in its new form, but at the end of
the year 1852 M. Walewski had to deal with other
ministers. Lord Derby was at the head of the new
Cabinet, of which Mr. Disraeli was a member, and Lord
Mahnisibury was at the Foreign-offics. If .the sole
object of M. Walewskile mission bad been to make the
subetitution of the Imperial Government for the Republic
acceptable, be would have met with no re-istence; Lord
Derby and his colleagues would hare acted like their pre-
decessors, and in conformity with the constant traditions
their country, they would have recognised the Empire
and the Emperor; but it was Insisted that this Emperor
should be recognised under the name of Napoleon the
Third, and it was this that the English Ministry were un-
willing to admit, '• because," they said, " to do so would
imply acquiescence in the government of the Hundred
Dar, and en approval of the acts of that government
against which Bngland had always prote=ted. in mourn
with all Europe." Such an objettiou as this. from such a
quarter, was of a nature to become a serious embarrassment.
Count Widewski did not hesitate. Ho ma.A the piestioa
of immediate recognition of Napoleon tAr Third eribiort re-
strietion a question of peace or war, and lie succeeded in
exciting public opinion in England, where the abstract
principle invoked by the English ministers was little ap-
preciated, but the effect of a war with France upon coin-
mereial affairs was contemplated with extreme anxiety.
This anxiety found its way into the House of Commons,
and the existence of the conservative cabinet was en-

dangered. Count Walewski took advantage of his ex-
cellent social relations, to obtain within twenty-four
hours the pure and simple recognition (of Napoleon the
Third) which was so anxiously desired in Paris. where it
was received as a pledge of security and peace. The
whole merit of this prompt esteem belongs to Count
Walewtki, who owed it, no doubt, to his skill and energy ;
and in some degree also to the advantages of his personal
position. The recognition of the Empire and of the Em-
peror Napoleon the Third by England induced Austria
and Prussia to follow the example, and determined shortly
after the recognition by the court of Meade.

CHINA.

ATTACH Ul ON AN ENGLISH MISSION MATS/

The Shanghai News Letter gives some account
of sn outrage committed by Chinese at Yangehow. It ap-
pears that several thousand natives joined together for an
attack upon the house of the Rev. Yr. Taylor. An
attempt was made to burn the building with its inmates,
among whom were four foreign women sad three small
children. Fires were deliberately built in the rooms
belew for that purpose, after the mob had destroyed
everything within their reach. This design was de-
feated, as all the women and children managed
to throw themselves from the uppes windows,
but were caught before reaching the ground by
the men of the mimics. While thus engaged they
were all set upon by the mob, stoned, and severely beaten,
fortunately the night being dark they escaped with their
lives, and kid themselves till morning among some old
ruins neer by, where they remained till some soldier* ar-
rived sad drove the mob sway. The naimioaaries were
then placed in boats and sent to Chiakiang.

Ls soon as news of this event reached here, Consul
Medhumt, and H.B.M. ship Rinaldo repaired without delay
to Chinkiang. With a detachment of SO men from the
Rinaldo, the consul proceeded up the Grand Canal, and
was admitted without opposition into the city of Yang-
chow. The Che-foo of the city was called up before
Consul Medhuret, and six demands made to him. viz.:—
let, that the house should forthwith be repaired. 2ad, that
the natives attached to the mission should be released
from confinement. 3rd, that a stone memorial should be
put up in front of the house, stating that missionaries
could by treaty ride at Yangehow. ith, that the lite-
rati (the instigators of the mob) should be severely
puhisliol sth. that the " Che-Hien" should be de-
graded. 6th, that an indemnity of Th. 2,000 should be
paid up at once. The find throe demands the Che-fuo
agreed to, but, not having power to grant the others, he
was taken along with the foreign party to Nankin, to settle
the matter before the Governor-General Tseng-kwo-tan.
The Journal above quoted bad not learned the result of
Medhurst's visit to Nankin, but the Friend of Chino
says that it was most unsatisfactory owing mainly to the
premature departure from Nanking of H. M. S. Rinaldo,
in consequence of the illness of her commander, Captain
Bush. The result was, that when the consul was left
alone Teeng-kwo-fan changed his tone, refused coin-
pentation, and refused to punish the literati or officials
concerned in the outrage, and the British Consul had to
beat an undignified retreat to Shanghai and ruler the
matter to Peking.

The mum whielt excited the mob to violence in the first
place is said to have been appeals to their ruper:tition,
and notes cireelaksi amongst them by the literati and
retired ofdriala, to the effect "that the foreigners were in
the habit of stealing sad eating young children. using
their tyre for medicine."

There has boon such a heavy fall of snow upon
the Alps, that for two days the tram epos the Fell Rail-
way over Mont Cenis, both for goods and passengers, has
breasuspeaded. The /Mho says that many of the travel-
lers proceeding to France were compelled to return to
(imbue, and embark there for Marseilles.
Baron Jamas do Rothschild, who.* malady, it
was thought, had taken a favourable turn, died yesterday
worming. Ho was tho head of the Paris house of Roths-
(had, and bad been nettled in France ever sinoe 1812. He
was born at Frankfort in 1792, and was thus 76 years of
age at the firm of his death. Baron Jamie de trithaehild
was the la 4 surviving son of Mayer Amain* ltothsolvild.
the founder of the family.
