NOTES OF THE DAY,-

The- interview ;between the Emperor of Ithasia and
the Prince Regent of Prussia having now taken Ph'ce;
all is anxiety to know something about it,—its political
objects and results. That it has had a specific cad
in
view, crat scarcely be doubted ; and that it has had
references to the present critical state of Europe, can
as little matter of doubt. Both these Powersn'us"
have beenAlooking with anxiens apprehension, for son*
time past; on the proceedings of Austria and Fiance,'
more especially the latter Power, directed as it is' by
one whose mind is so inscrutable; and whose movements
are so eccentric: as Louis Napoleon's. There can
be no question, one would think, that if the
riders- of Russia- and Prussia- have, on this occaionr
determined' upon any policy whatever, it would he s.

safely combine with them topursue,—on the under-
standing, of 'course, that there is to be no obstruction:to
that course of Reform which cannot .now be resisted
in
any quarter-of the civilised wortd,. and which it is the'
truest wisdom to direct, not to obstruct, according t‘) the
circumstances of the people among whom it may bo--in

It can scarcely be-questioned, we 'believe, that rlie
attacks off the semi-official journals of Paris OT'

the ground-of our refusal to take part in a Europe3.l
.Congress, save upon conditions which are distasteln
alike to Austria and France, are in accordance with the
feelings of the Feench Emperor. His Majesty'

on this very account of our own unwillingness to

rifienlen, 11 squadrons of cavalry, 80 pieces

of campaign artillery (more than half of them
rifled), and a siege train. It was intended, it is
said, to call out under - arms 60 provincial
battalions.

Intelligence from Morocco states that the
French who were made prisoners, on the 31st
August, were all burned alive, by the, tribes of
Morocco. The French troops were greatly irri-
tated, and eager to take, vengeance.
One of the Madrid journals (Espane) states that
almost all the foreign ministers, and amongst
them the minister of Great Britain, ha-1 called on
the minister of foreign affairs to express the
opinion that the war with Morocco was a just one.
The Globe remarks that when Spain proposes
to take possession, as it were, of a portion of the
Mediterranean, to convert Ceuta from a landing
place into a stronghold, and the nucleus of an
Africo-Spanish territory, the question assumes
dimensions which no British Government can
undertake to settle independent of public opinion.

The Globe adds, the commercial classes have
too great an interest in the freedom of the straits
not to make their voice heard in vindicating the
right of free passage.
