• d to-day at the French
Jr°ln M. de Bourauuey, at Vienna,

and it is hsserted they-have reference to the meet- '
ing. I believe there is little doubt that M. de
Bourqueney has been exerting himself to arrange
such an interview, and even that he is sanguine of
its taking place. If the Emperor does all that rumour
has marke I out for him, his autumn will be well filled.
He is to pass a month at Compiegne, and to visit
Munich, Marseilles, and Algeria. The only grounds
I can discover for the report that he will go to the
last-named place this year is that he asked Marshal
Randon which .were the best months in the year for
such an excursion, and that the Marshal specified
October and November. A visit of the Emperor to
Algeria might be productive of very good effects as
regards both the European and the native popula-
tion, particularly if he were a'ela to remain long
enough to make his•observations, and pass through
the greater part of the country. It is not impro•
bable that the recent discovery of 'abuses in the
Administration (as well as the recent conquest of
Kabylia), has contributed to direct his attention
particularly to that colony. An official report has
been made to him by the Minister of War with re-
spect, to desirable modifi3a.tions in the Arab
bureaux. This report will, it is thought, be follow-
ed by a decree, maintaining those bureaux, but
consilerably altering their constitution.
After having been on the brink of a recall, of the
certainty of which he did not conceal his own
conviction, Djemil Bey, the Turkish Ambassador
at Paris, is likely, to retain his pogtion. The fall
of Redschid Pasha, consequent on the British
Government's 'reversal of Lord Stratford's opposi-
tion to the Moldavian re-elections, made it probable

that his son would 1-e included in his disgrace,
and I unders'and that Djemil Bey has been pre-
served from so doing in some nnasure by the
attitude of the French Government, which, while
insisting on the carrying out of the treaty of
Paris, did not desire to see the question become
one of persons.
The BrusSels -2\rorg lately siii, and the Journal
des Debates to-day Confirms the statement, that the
French Government has given to that of England
unequivocal proofs of sympathy and good will on
the occasion of the-Indian insurrection, has offered
to permit the 'passage of troops through France, ,
and to use its good offices with the Pasha of Egypt
to induce -him to afford a similar facility. 1 as-
sured you in n former letter that, notwithstanding
what a few .persons augured from the Stuttgardi
interview, -The French Government never set a
higher price upon the English, alliance, or was
more desirous to maintain it, than at the present,
time ; and you may depend that. whatever be the
sentiments of a portion of the French press and
nation, the Emperor has testified.' great concern
at our Indian misfortunes. He. doubtless,
manifested his feelings ,on the subject when
at Osborne, and also mast probably at -Chalons
to the Duke of Cambridge, with whom he had a
great deal of conversation concerning the cam-
paign in Bengal. The -lord says that the English
Cabinet declined the above mentioned offers, but
adds that it is everywhere seeking reinforcements,
and is resolved, -if necessary, to send the whole of
its army to India, and keep only the militia at
home. There is no -saying what might be done
under the pressure of necessity, but, making the
largest allowances'for possible losses from climate,
disease, and the enemy's fire, there seems scarcely
a reasonable doubt that the force alreta•ly sent
or under orders to go will -suffice to suppress:
the revolt. We hove seen what has been done by
mere handfuls of men under 'Havelock and others,
and it emboldens us to believe that a force su.f-
fieient to take'Delhi, and two or three movable
columns of 6,000 or 6.000 men eac:e, will suffice to
extinguish an insurrection which owes the greater
part of its temporary success to our• want of fore-
sight and preparation. As regards the passage of
troops through France, 1 hear it -said that it was
decline I by' the English 6-x/eminent because there
would have' been little saving of time, owing to the
double embat'kation and disembarkation.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Ocr, 11.

The neve I have received this forenoon from
Potsdam represents the King as . progressing
rapidly in the reticqu;sition of-strength, and the
hopes, even of his medical attendants, -become
More wad-more sanguine. His mental faculties of
perception and reflection show themselves as
rapidly _gaining-dist:neatness and precision., and his
appetite-was such as to admit of his taking break-
fast, and it is confidently hoped that, -with due
care, and a sufficiently prolonged abstinence from
all harassing business, he will be enabled to resume
his monarchical functions, -end eventually he
_entirely --cured of all malady. For my own
part, with every desire to believe in the
pr thability of His Majesty's entire recovery,
cannot bring myself to -be se sanguine. His
present -state is neither nnexpeeted nov unpre-:
eedented; he had -a similarattack last eat-turner at
- from the same causes, and his phesicians.
have looked forward for the last two months to a
return alit, continuing as he did to disregard the_
imperative necessity of his constitution, and of rest
and tranquillity. His participation in the autumnal
manatuvres, the interest he took in the Evangelical
Conferences, the numerous 'visitors at le;-s Court
this slimmer, his own frequent excursions hither
and thither, have all taken place under the
frequently renewed protest and remonstrance of
hia physicians, who :have not failed to point out
theinerittble consequences of-his over-exertion.
At the conclusion of his course of waters and bath-,
ing at Alarienbade in the .be tinting of last. July,

On his recovery from his comp tratively slight

said to him, "This time it was sheet lightning, your

than one occasion, he d -lefty speech unfinished
from haviog lost the thread of thought or from in-

stances bear out the opinion that, for some little
time past, dating from the period of that last
attack at
:Pillnitz, in the middle of July, the
King's brain has been, in sprat degree, softening,
which may or may not, on this last 030t13i011„ have
been aggravated by the rupture of a small blood
vessel: Be this as it may, and " who shall decide
when doctors disagree,'' it is evident that the
chance of his Majesty's prolonged :possession of
the throne of these realms is sadly diminished
within the last few Pays ; and much as .every man
acquainted with this country, and with the excel-
lent qualities and distinguished talents ot' the
King, would bewail any change in the occupancy

looked upon aa brought very close within the range
of probabilities..
The Princess of Prussia was expected to arrive
at Sans bOliili yesterday, so that now all the mem-
bers of the Royal Family, without exception, are
assembled at Potsdam. Oa Thursday last, her
Royal Highness was surprised with a visit from
the King of the Belgians at Cob'.entz, who-was
coming down the Rhine on his return from Italy.
In the morning, His Majesty had breakfasted with
Prince Metternich at Schloss-Jahannisberg.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNIA, OCT. 10

The opinions which were a few days since
expressed, in respect to the probable result of the
meeting of the two Emperors at Weimar are now
generally entertained in official circlet,. The
reconciliation between the monarchs will naturally
lead to a rapprochement between their Governments,
but their relations are not likely to be intimate
until the question of the reorganisation of the
DanuVan Principalities is definitely settled. This
Cabinet keeps a very watchful eye on what is
passing on the- Lower DAnttbe, and it has
not escaped its attention that RUS3Ia is fast

regaining the influence.; which she lost in the
Principalities when the war began.' Speeches were
made by influential Wallachians on the name-
day of the Emperor Alexander, which clearly
proved that they still looked up to Russia as the
natural protector of their civil and religious liber-
ties. His Eminence the Metropolitan read an ad-
dress to M. Basily, the Russian Commissioner, in
which it was said that the Wallachian clergy and.
people offered up their prayers to God for the Em-
peror Alexander, " the illustrious Protector of the
orthodox faith." A deputation, at the head of
which were Messrs. Charles and Constantine Cre-
zeulesco, expressed in the name of the majority of
the nation its fervent wishes for the happiness of
the Emperor Alexander 11., " who guaranteed and
protected the rights and privileges of the Walla-
chians." M. Charles Orezoulesce terminated his
speech by exclaiming, " Long live the Emperor
Alexander II.," which cry was repeated by all the
members of the deputation and by some other per-
Bens who were present. The Para correspondent of
the Triester Zeitung wrote, on the 3rd inst., that two
days previously Lard Radcliffe and Baron Prokesch
had called on Aali Pasha, the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, and had demanded ‘.` that the elections in
Wallachia and Moldavia should be declared null and
void." As seen as M. de Thouvenel heard of what
had occurred, he hurried to the place of the Turk.
ish Minister, and urged him to communicate to
him what had passed between himself and the
British and Austrian diplomatists. Aali Pasha re-
plied that he was not a'; liberty to give the desired
information, as the two Ambassadors had addressed
their note to the Turkish Cabinet. Oa reading the-
foregoing news in the Trieste paper, it appeared ad-
visable to verify it before it was forwarded, but
the only information which has been obtained on
the subject is the following. It is not offi-
cially known here that the British and
Austrian Ambassadors have demanded`the an-
nulment of the Moldavian and Wallachlan elections,
but it is not doubted that they have furnished the
Turkish Government with proofs that the elections
were conducted in a most illegal manner. The
German and Austrian papers maintain that the poli-
tical refugees who returned to Bucharest and Jassy,:
some months ago, are completely " masters of the
situation," and it would appear that they speak but '
the truth, for almost all the leaders of the son-called.
" emigration" have been elected. The Austrians
aro not sorry that the IDemocratio party has got
the upper hand in the Principalities, as they foresee
that it will 'conduct itself in a manner which will
not be to the taste of Russia. A few days since
you were informed that the Porte had forwarded a
circular on the sabjeat of th 3 Danubian Princi-
palities to its diplomatic agents in foreign coun-
tries, and the news is confirnied by the Journal
de Convantinople of the 30th alt. The pith of the
circular is, that no attention can be paid by the
Porte to any wish which may be expressed by the
Divan al 'hoc for the union of Moldavia and
Wallachia.

Much is dust now said and written about the
Danish-Holstein question, bu'.: it hardly deserve,
the attention of the public ; for 'Germany—taking,
the snail for her model—drew in her horns at the
approach dl' danger. As long as Austria and lams-,
sia could hope tnat the other great Powers would
not interfere in the matter they used
.energetic and
even Menacing language towartieDenmark,bat since
France,aussia, and England have declared that the:
question of the Duchies cannot be settled by Ger-
many •clone, the Vienna and Berlin Cabinets have"
displayed great indecision. The news that the.
Danes themselves demand theredintegration of the
Constitution of ifs 4-4 hss given satisfaction to thei
Garman diplomatists, as they believe that a corn.:::
promise between Denmark and the Duchies may
easily be effected if the so-called ",Gesamnnt-
Verfassung" (general Constitution) is abrogated.
It is related that Prince Knllimachi has requested
his Government to recall him. and hoped that the
report may prove to be 'correct. The Turkieh
Arabassadoris,both a man of ability and a good
dplomatist,lant he hAS never succeeded-in acquiring
the confidence of his colleagues.
On the 6.1 a-of September a Russian sloop at-
tacked a dortt sarcda?es • (boats of the country
which are screalled), laden with salt,- manufactures,

Ciroassia. 12.6,44*c:14h, were taken, and aeot

4andales, which were lying on the ~beach,, were

According to the -Journal de 'Oomste-tntimnx?e,
which, how-ever, is bad authority, there has been a
rising of theiCazi-K)rnanks, whose (lira and mili-
tary G rvernor, the aaseian General. A:gbalar. Khan,
was taken prisoner by Scharnyl. The Xurkish-G-o-

intends to ;punish certain `! Peimatee the pro-
vin-e of Widdin, and Youssouf Effendi, -the Mudir
of Beligraciiik, for oppressing and squeezing
money out d 120,000 inhabitants in the province, in
the name of the Imperial authorities. The money
is to be restored to the persons from whom it was
. taken.

disaster, a committee of the Western Bank of S3)tland has
been snmmoned to investigate the position of these and
other firms. _

The Naw CA:4T OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. —The
Morning Post is informed that Lord Pal tee stun has
recently tendered to the Attorney-Ganeral, Sir R. Bothell,
the office of judge of the new court, and that it was declined
by him, on the ground that, having had charge of the bills,
it might be imp wed that his exertions in connection with
them had not bean ,of that disinterested charecter which
Parliament and the publie have at his hands a right to

the Pollee Department of New York, front Liverpool,

who was seduced by and came to this country with a man
named Thomas Cummins, who at tho same time is alleged
.to have stolen about ninety dollars from the girl's father.

• COMMITIAL FOR A RAPB ON A Deaf AND DUMB
FEMALK.--1)11n Bentley, a printer, was piece] at t'.e bar
of the Marylehone pollee court, on Monday, before the
istting magistrate, Mr. Long, on the serious charge of
having conimitted a rape on Strati Harding, a pang
woman deaf and elumb from, birth, and who lives with h- e.
mother, an industrious person, residing at No. 5, Hatton-
street, Porttnan.market. The evidence of prosecutrix, as
given upon oath through the ssaediurn of her mother, by
mat ipulatory precise, was to the effect that on the
previous day, between ten and eleven, o'c'ock, while
making the hed of the prisoner, who was a lodger, he
(pr's 'nail threw her down upon the bed, and with great
violence effected hil purpose. She was not aware that
he was in the house until he sarprise.l her by his
appearance, and treated her iu the way he did. It 1
was further shown, that after the outrage the prisoner
quitted the pretaises,'and oe the return of the mother the
particulars of what had transpiv-d were made known to
her, and information was at once given to the police. On
the same nigh', Sergeant Barton, 3 D, t',ok the prisoner
in his room, while he was in bed, and conveyed hin to the
station-house, where he was locked up. M-. Reyrnond,
surgeon Connaught-terrace, Edgware-road, who bad
examined the p-osecutrix, gave such evidence as to leave no
doubt that the capital nffenee had been committed. Mr.
Long, after addressing the prisoner in a most impressive
manner, asked him if he was &aims of s :yin?, anything
in answer to the charge. Be said that he should reserve
his defence. He was commit d for the rope to take his
trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal C mrt.
A gen. leman of Nantueket states that he has a Balton
grey hen, which in 106 days laid exactly 106 eggs, and in
223 days laid 216 eggs. o:‘ctsionaily, when she missed a
day without furbishing the usual egg, she would come as
near making good the ornisti as possiWcp by Pr)ll4cing
a double pods egg the following day.
