ITALY.

A letter from Geneva of the 16th states that the
old soldiers of the lepublic and of the Empire,
now residing in that canton, assembled as usual
on the 15th to celebrate the St. Napoleon. More
than 200 persons, among whom was General Du-
four, sat down to dinner. M. Zanole, who was in
the chair, proposed a toast to the memory of the
august chief of the Imperial dynasty, and another
to the health of the Emperor Napoleon 111., which
was drunk with the most enthusiastic applause.
The success of the Allies in the Crimea was also
proposed, and received with all due honours.
The Opinion; of Turin, announces that General
Garibaldi, who defended Rome against the French
in 1819, has obtained from the Piedmontese Go-
vernment his nominatiou as captain of the first
class ; in consequence of which he has been en-
trusted with the ultimate command of the Ligure
and Salvatore steamers, belonging to a private
company.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO PARIS.

(From Qalignani's Messenger.)

The Paris papers are naturally occupied with
copious details of the interesting event of Saturday,
in the arrival and reception of the Queen of Eng-
land, to the necessary exclu,ion generally of lead-
ing political or other matter of less present impor-
tance. The Pays alone, with commendable tact,
turns the fortunate circumstance of the day to ac-
count in an article of reminiscences and refl• ottons,
in happy combination, which it is calculated to
suggest. It says :

"At the moment in which we write an immense fact
has taken place in the history of our time. Paris entire
is all about and astir to welcome with its enthusiastic
acclamations the Sovereign of the three kingdoms. A
prodigious conceurse of strangers has invaded its boule-
vards and pours in from all its streets. The flags of the
two nations mix together in the air over a space of nearly
three leagues. Never has human power been ealuted
on its passage with inure sympathetic greetings, Never
has the meeting of sovereigns given to the world more
radiant hopes. That which is passing is not in fact a
vain spectacle. There is in this unanimity of animated
movement of sentiments, of spontaneous enthusiasm,
a different thing from a curiosity satisfied. Nations no
longer content themselves with what attracts the
eves. Their interests, their convictions, their reed of
civilisation and progress aspire to more solid guaran•
tees. The nations of modern times require acts which
shall not be sterile, rnanifeststions which bear their
fruits, material grarideurs which at the same time are
moral grendeurs. The entry of the Queen of England
into Paris is of this number. The rational eagerness of
which she is the object has nothing comparable to it in
the history of the two peoples. It is the most complete
triumph of the policy of civilisation inaugurated at Bor-
deaux in a famous speech It is the realization the most
lifelike, the most ueexpected, the most marvellous of
that programme ef the new which has re-assured Europe
and the world—' The Empire, it is peace.' Let, us re-
call, in fact, the strong distrust which separa ed us front
England scarcely four years since. Unfortunate pre,
judices had succeeded in leading the Br:tieh press and
opinion astray upon the glorious leeiti,nacy of the new
Government. They doubted our dignity, our good faith,
our sincere love of peace arid of the independence of
States. A kind of moral crusade was preached on
tke other side of the Channel against our pr. tenth d pr i-
jects of invasion. France has answered these sespiciens
oily by the moderation of her external policy and the
prudent hardiness ef her internal reforms:. It ea, not re-
quired a long time for the most practical people in the
world to comprehend that this work of re-orgiiiiewien
excluded every idea of conquest, and that peaceful tivili-
cation had not a more powerful auxiliary than the Nepo-
leoniet empire re-elevated by popular suffrage. Today
the union is complete, indi,soluble, and invincible.
That England, so proud of her traditional liberty, so jea-
leue of her privileges and of her influence over the rest
of the world, arise one day as one man to welcome with
her hurrahs the nephew of her must terrible crepy.
The soseeeign of three kingdoms and of 200 milli n. et
subjects has held out her hand to the prescript . f the
day before, become the glorious elect of a rival r anon,
and has not hesitated to give him, in the sanctoery
of the Knights of the Garter, the place which
before was filled by the autocrat of ail the Rus
Already the friendship of these two pi oplest was sealed
on the same fields of battle. Trie herei-in of ther;r sol-
diers had dissipated the last antipathies and excite I mu.
trial devotedness. That which is now passing is but the
consequence of two years of political and rnili ary con-
fraternity. The entry of her Majesty Queen Victoria
into Paris effaces eight ages of mutual hatred, and com-
mences the new era of the pacification of the world
Such is the real signification of this till now unheard of
fact, of a Queen of England receiving the hospitality of
France and of the Emperor, and traversing our gar-
nished boulevards amidst enthusiastic hurrahs from two
million', of breasts. That is a great epoch which wit-
nesses such spectacles. Moral progress is on a level
with industrial progress. The sentiments of the two
peoples are mingled together, like their interests, like
their gigantic enterprises, like their military glory, like
all that constitutes the life and splendour of indivi-
duals and of societies. &mope excited could not
believe in this intimate soiiderity. Russia had never
even conceived an alliance possible, and it was there lay
the capital error of the Emperor Nicholas. What will
Russia, what will Europe say, on hetiring the marvellous
recital of these fetes S All eyes are at this moment
turned towards Paris. Her Exhibition attracts myriads
of peoples ; the character of her government has con-
quered general respect for her ; the existing wargives her
all the prestige of glory ; foreign kings have already come
to render homage to her genius ; there was wanting to
this unique concourse the presence of the heiress of
Edward 111 and of Henry V. The heart of civilisation
heats to-day to the heart of Franoe. We have fur us the
right which emanates from God, and the force which
comes from the two peoples. We offer to interests, as
to principles, the guarantee of our alliance and tha co-
operation of our solidarty. Europe will comprehend
that the time of antiquated suspicions has passed, and
that nothing can henceforth prevail against the united
standards of Fiance and Eiielaed."

A very c•lrinus and highly interesting volume of the
works of the late Madame Girardin is about to be pub•
lished.
