CIMALBACII, Sept. 18.

The Empress of the French still resides at this
now celebrated place, and most assiduously does her
Majesty continue to comply with the requirements
ordained for the proper completion of a Bade cur.

The weather has now undergone a charge for the
worse, but it is still warm, although rain constantly
falls. Notwithstanding this untoward condition of
the elements, strangers continue to flock in, hoping
to see the Empress, although the season here
usually begins to wane at the commencement of
this month. Hopes of seeing the Emperor are also
expressed, as his Majesty is constantly expEc!ed.
The questions, " Hest ll u sic geschen ? " " \Vie
aicht sie deun aus? " are continually heard on every
side, and although a hundred different answers are
given by those who have been fortunate enough to
see the august visitor, all are unanimous that a more
amiable and engaging looking lady has never been
seen here, and marked contrasts are drawn between
her deportment—so affable and so condescending—
and that of many other royal and princely perm
sonages who have occasionally visited this little
Brunnen. Her Majesty, in fact, has won all the
hearts by her simple and unaffected manners,
though it is conceded that the dignity of her exalted
position has been fully maintained.
Schwalbach is situated at a tolerable altitude, 900

feet above the sea level, and the mountain air which
blows at this time of year is generally not only
decidedly fresh, but even unmistakably cold at times.
Up to the present time the weather has been quite
exceptional, and especially during the stay of
the Empress, for even if the nights are cold the

days arc warm and sunny, like, in fact, what
the Italians call the Madonna summer. The

greater number of the visitors usually seen
here have departed, so that accommodation can at
last be found for the great influx of strangers still
continuing to arrive, attracted by the presence of
the Empress. Scores of carriages, heavily laden
with sightseers, continue to come daily to this little
town, partly from Wiesbaden, partly from the
neighbouring watering place Schlaugenbad, partly
from Eltville, the next station of the railway on the
right bank of the Rhine, and from other places.
Under any circumstances the hotel and house owners
rejoice greatly, and estimate the visit of the Empress
of the French at a greater commercial value than
that of the Empress of All the Russias.
Wiesbaden is now favoured with the visit of a
circus, which is very good of its kind, but as the
proprietors found that, the summer visitors having
departed, the 21,000 regular inhabitants were either
not sufficient in number to support their establish•
mont, or were perhaps deficient in taste for cques.
trian spectacle, they hit upon the expedient of
publicly stating the t the Empress intended to honour
the performance by a visit on a given night. The
I public, who seem to be as credulous here as in any
other part of the civilised world, swallowed the bait
and attended in numbers more than sufficient to
fill the arena, without reflecting that it was scarcely
probable that the. Empress's " cure" would be
tated by a night journey from Schwalbach to Wies-
baden and back again. The result simply v,-s s, that
the proprietors of the exhibition reaped a rich
harvest, while the visitors had to deplore their d's-
sppeintment, and to content themselves os best tilt),
might. _ _

The subjoined list of the visitors 10 this place Ust
year will serve to show zhe number ordinarily
attending, and their nationality. The figures are
taken from the official list, which shows that, of a
total of 3,932, the German nation contributed 2,068;
while of non-Germans there were 1,874, thus
divided :—Russians 608, English 646, Americans
111, Dutch 163, French 167, Swiss 45, Moldavians
and Waltuchiana 41, Italians 32, Belgians 30,
Swedes 15, Algerians 8, while Tunis, China, East
Portugal, and Persia contribute ono each.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 1864.

Herr BISMARK is a politician t hat it is difficult
for those in this country to understand. He sets
out with quite different views, and his ideas on all
subjects are so totally dissimilar to those of English-
men that it is no wonder if they are puzzled and
perplexed when they attempt to interpret them.
Still the broad principles of right and wrong must
be the same in every land, the particulars of policy
necessarily vary, and the opinions of the people are
of course contrary to those at home; but wrong,
spoliation, and oppression can by read by Christian
or heathen, civilised or savage. After the course
pursued by the Prussian Government during the
whole of thi3 deplorable and despicable conflict, it
is astounding to hear of the people of Berlin making
a hero of M. litsataatx, and rejoicing at the down.
fall of their enemies, as if they were in the least
danger from them, and hailed the overthrow of
overwhelming forces that were bound to crush
them. It must be confessed by the admirers of
Germany that such a manifestation of popular feel-
irg and sur.h a political exhibition is a disgrace to
Prussia and a dishonour to Berlin. For a people
to identify themselves, as they have done, with one
of the most uncalled for and cruel wars that have
ever sallied the page of history, is monstrous, and
it for ever lowers the standard of Prussian cha-
racter, and puts a stop to the notion that was be-
coming prevalent as to the spread of the principles
of liberty taking place in that country. The ac-
counts received relative to M. BISMARK'S entry into
Berlin are most ex raordinary, and it shows a deeps
rooted feeling of sympathy in the inhabitants
with the whole tenour of his policy, that
they should thrust themselves forward after
this fashion to bestow upon him gratui-
tously, as it were, a public testimony of his
merit and a recognition of his services. The
few words which he addressed to his admirers are
certainly most significant and deserve to be dwelt
upon. The spirit of the Prussian policy is expressed
in Uieso subtle phrases. The intentions of the
Prussian Government stand clear and unmislak-
sentences. In
eble in these smooth and slippery

the first place, Herr BISMARK does not do hinaheif
justice, for he declines to receive the merit that
others ascribe to his doings. It is the KING they
