THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 12,

self in the part he is playing, as he did in the
memorable speech at Ajaccio. It was then that
the EMPEROR took the measure of his erratic
kinsman's powers of usefulness .or of mis-
chief most accurately by recalling him, in
a stern and peremptory letter, to the
sense of his duty to the Head of the House,
and the Chief of the State. The Cousin bent to
the reproof, resigned the Privy Councillorship and
the Presidency of the Imperial Commission of the
International Exhibition, and held his peace, his
palaces, and his salary. How could he do other-
wise ? Since that intemperate display in Corsica
a better understanding between the EMPEROR and
Prince JEROME NAPOLEON has appeased in some
degree the restless temperament of the one without
deranging the policy of the other. The Prince
has accepted the honorary post of unaccredited
and irresponsible travelling and commission agent
to the Enrenoa. There could not be found a
more fitting employment for his peculiar dispo-
sition and capacities. Fond of movement and
of travelling, at home in all companies, a
Prince by accident and a Republican in principle,
warlike by tradition and peaceful in tastes and
habits, quick of ear and free of tongue, always
accessible, craftily confidential, adroitly careless,
discreetly rash, this honest and singularly clever
Prince is a perfect master of that engaging diplo-
macy which surprises by its indifference, and takes
captive by its candour. That remarkable like-
ness to the First NAPOLEON, which has some-
times fascinated the reigning Chief, makes
him wherever he goes a representative man. But
representative of what ? That is the question. A
friend to German unity, a friend to Poland, a
friend to Italy, an adversary of the temporal
power, a friend to free institutions—is he the
representative of the policy of the Second Empire'
It has been sensibly remarked by one of our Paris
contemporaries that under the existing system of
personal government in France, it is not easy for
a Prince of the Blood to travel over Europe for
his amusement as freely and unconcernedly as, for
instance, the Heir to the Crown of England,
Chroniclers and correspondents, and the whole
world of Continental gobernoseherie are sure to at-
tribute to the cousin of NaroLgos 111. a variety
of schemes and motives. His abundant flow of
easy and unreserved conversation will supply in-
exhaustible food for the wildest speculation.
When he was at Berlin in the spring, ho made no
secret of his sympathies with German unity, while
he lost no opportunity of ascertaining the exact
condition of the Prussian armaments and military
TetORTLYIL Count BISMARCK was charmed with
his sentiments, while the moat advanced liberals
conversed with him gladly on the progress
of humanity and the approaching end of venerti
superstitions. At Vienna, where he sips his ice
and coffee at a side table in the Volks Garton, in
company with the Prime Ministers of Austria and
Hungary, he is surrounded by a curious and sym-
pathetic crowd, who hail in him at once
a BONAPARTE of most authentic type,
and an accomplished easy-going Prince of demo-
craticprineiplesand noprejudices, who is the friend
to Liberal causes all the world over. Going every-
where, seeing everything, talking to everybody
without constraint, he learns in a week more than
half a dozen plenipotentiaries would discover in as
many years. In politics, as in art, and science, and
literature, a dilettrinte, he dines one day with the
Emperor of ArsTaia, another with the poor King
of HANOVER, a third, perhaps, with a party of
enthusiastic Poles. The Poles, perhaps, are the
only people in the Austrian capital who attach a
serious importance to his visit, because they are
the only people who have any illusions to indulge,
or any hope in unforeseen adventures. The jour-
ney of Prince NAPOLEON through the Southern
States of Germany will not disturb the peace of
Count Blau ARCH in his retreat, for has not the Prince
again and again at Vienna and at Berlin declared
himself a firm friend to the unity of Germany ?
Whether Russia will regard with equal equanimity
his tour in the East of Europe is a very
different question. But, so fur as it is possible
to appreciate the precise significance (if there be
any) of the wanderings of this faux boa Wan!,
we should think that it is at St. Petersburg, rather
than at Berlin, they will be watched with
more than ordinary attention.

topol ; and men listened for the guns which
would confirm the happy tidings. On
Saturday, the 30ta of September. Lord Snuff-
aean's telegraphic despatch asuieanclap the victory
of the Alma was published in a isipplement to
the anzeffP, and the next day Lord ILLOLAN'S tele-
graphed accoant reached the War-ollios, and was
forthwith issued in a similar way. On Monday
morning, while the rumour referred to was-
fresh in men's minds, the Park guns were heard
firing, answered by thunders from the. Tower.
Thousands of people, called forth by the joyful
sounds, hastened to the parks and to other public
places. Their expectations were doomed to
disappointment. The cause of the firing w•as
an outbreak of routine. The Departments of the
Government, it seems, " were accustomed to cor-
" respond, formally, the one with the other, much
" as though they were the Governments of so
" many foreign states, living sometimes together
" in amity, at other times waging war; and it re-
" suited, from sacred treaty stipulations, long sub-
" sisting between two rival departments, that upon
" receiving a despatch such as that which had
" come from Lord RAGMAN, the War-office should
" hasten to impart it to the Horse Guards. This,
" however, it seems, some clerk at the War-office
" long neglected to do ; and his oversight in-
" flicted upon the counter-clerk of the
" Horse Guards the agony of seeing the
" despatch in the Sunday Gazette before his own
" department had any official cognisance of it.
" When at length the despatch was imparted, the in-
" jured counter-clerk at the Horse Guards saw his
" opportunity—an opportunity of conveying a dig-
" rifled reproof to his War-office adversary, and
" culling on all London to witness that a grievous
" neglect had occurred. So the thunder of the park
" guns acknowledged—not indeed the arrival in
"England of any fresh tidings from the seat of
" war, but-- the transmission of a now stale
" despatch from one side of Whitehall to the
" other."
