THE MEETING OF THE TWO EMPERORS

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

In some of the German journals it is insinuated
that the two Emperors, at their meeting at Stutt-
garde, will come to some understanding on the
question
of the German Duchies, which the
Etc Parer Napoleon desires to seo settled by a
conference at Paris.

IRE LATE MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS.

Io a third edition of our yesterday's impression, we
Published the following announcement
communication was received this morning by Mr.
(Gibbs, GOVOMOr of the Gaol, from the Home Secretary's
11101, to tha effect that there seems no reason for advising
that the law should not be allowed to take its course in the
clise of Captain Henry Itlgers ; but at the same time inti-
"ating that tho cases of the two mates will be taken into
mrther consideration, and respiting their execution.

Prom the above, it will be seen that the fate of Henry
Nell, the captain of the Martha Jane, is sealed, and on
Saturday morning, at twelve o'clock, he will suffer an
ignominious death in front of the County Gaol at Kirk-
dale, for the murder of the sailor Andrew Rose, under
been
the most aggravated circumstances that has ever
ren recorded in the annals of crime. But, notwithstand •

the exertion was made by a humane public to have

and disgrace of a public execution. With regard to his

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

PARIS, ►SSEPT 9.

Notwithstanding recent positive statements on the sub-
Pet, uncertainty still prevaili with respect to the exact
date at which the now elections in Moldavia will take
place. It is not of great moment whether they be fixed
for the month of October or for the expiration of 15 days
after the receipt l)y the lialmakan of the orders of the
Porte to annul the previous ones. In the latter case they
would comofence on the 10th of September. The only
really important point is, that the dispositions taken by

Prince Vogorides with respect to these elections have
given satisfaction to all the powers canaerned:

There was some slight contradiction between accounts
recently received from Madrid and information derived

from the best sources iu Paris, with respect to the exact

nature of the intervention on the part of England and

France, in the pending dispute with Mexico, to which the

Spanish Government had agreed.

On the one hand it

was represented as positive arbitration, admitting of no
appeal ; while, on the other, it was deolared to be confined
to simple mediation, which might be broken off at any
moment by the will of either of the disputant Go_
vernmenta. The truth may be said to lie between the
two statements. Strict'y speaking, it is the mediation of
England and France that has been accepted by Spain and
prOposed to Mexico. Bat it is clearly understood that
Spain so far commits herself to the hands of the media-
ting powers that she will not raise objections to any such
terms as they, having due regard to her intere3ts and
dignity, shall recommend to her acceptance. It is not

doubted that Mexico will entru3t her interests to their
hands with a similar understanding. Toe mediating

powers can have no wish but to see justice done between
the two countries; they can have no interest but to avert

a war, which once commenced, might lead to very se-

rious complications. And they hid a right to expect,

when offering their good offices, something approaching
to a certainty that these should not be exerted in vain

The impprtaut point was to arrive at such an under

standing with Spain as should entirely preclude all pros_

pect of her coming to blows with Mexico, To this end

were directed the combined efforts of Lord IlOwden and

M. de Turgot at Madrid; and I believe I am correct in
stating that the French Gbvernment considers it to have
been fully attained.

The Assenb.ce Na:ionale has re-appeared to-day, under

its new name of the:Spectateur.

A letter from St. Petersburg says :

"The foreign journals which have announced that the

Mandarin in command of the Chinese province of Kiackta

had prevented Admiral Putiatin from proceeding to Pekin
by that road are misinformed. The Admiral is not at

present anywhere near the frontiers of China and Russia ;
he is employed in the western part of Upper Siberia,

organizing the squadron which Russia has such great in.

terest in having permanently stationed in the river Amoor

The mission which the Russian Government has kept up

at Pekin since 1660 is directed by a Greek archimandrite,

assisted by a certain number of priests to give spiritual

assistance to such of their co-religionists as may happen to
be in the country. At the request of the late Emperor
Nicholas, the Russian mission has been successively in-
creased in number by the addition of several students

and other parsons versed hi geographical science. On the
decennial renewal this year of the staff of the

mission, the Empet•or Alexander thought it advanta-
geous to add to it several military and civil engineers, and
when the archimandrite presented himself at the frontiers
of Eiackta, accompanied by such a numerous body, the
Mandarin would not take on himself to allow such a
number of foreigners to enter, as they might by travelling
by short stages be able to make themselves geographically
and strategically acquainted with the country and with
tho best roads fo proceed direct to PAcin. The mission is
therefore compelled to remain on the frontier until the
Mandarin receives instructions fro:n kis Government,
unless the Russian Government should order them to pro-
ceed by sea to the northern provinces of China."
The Russian Government has authorized its Consul in
the part of Bessarabia recently separated from its
frontier to give the inhabitants passports to cross the
new Russsian frontier as oft( n as they please. The
passports are to be valid three months at a time without
a new visa.
