any special cause, risen higher than ever. It once
reached twenty-nine per cent., though it is now one
or two per cent. again lower. Yet the real resources
of the North can hardly be touched yet, for war
taxes have hardly begun to be levied, and what
has been done has been accomplished by merely
incurring debt. The South has had already to
make ♦ast personal sacrifices of the comforts, and
almost of the necessaries of life ; if the North will
do the same the South will have but little chance
of wearing it out. The South must be utterly ex-
hausted long first. Indeed it seems to be on the
verge of exhaustion. It must by this time have
pretty well used up the military stores which the
traitor FLOYD accumulated within its jurisdiction
in the reign of BUCHANAN, and what it has taken
from the Federate is about balanced by what it has
lost to them.

As to money it had only paper from the
beginning, the silver soon vanished. Indeed
with
apostolic simplicity they could say—silver
and gold we have none. Cotton bonds were
issued on cotton subscriptions, asked from those
who had nothing else to give, Customs they have
none, in response to their ad captandurn tariff,
issued to atttract the notice of Europe. And now
the last expedient is announced to be—" A resolu-
tion introduced in the Confederate Congress, autho-
rising the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase or
impress one million bales of cotton at a fixed price ;
and also to send agents to Europe to sell this
cotton_ The resolution also proposes the repeal of
all laws prohibiting the export of cotton from ports
occupied by the enemy, when such cotton is pur-
chased by foreign Governments or subjects." The
Confederate Executive, in fact, proposes to turn
merchants—to buy at the depressed prices caused
in their own country by the war it has created,
and to sell at the extravagant prices to which it
has raised the price of cotton in Europe. How
they are to get the cotton out of " ports occu-
pied by the enemy," and to secure money
in return for it, is not mentioned. Un-
less they have means unknown to Europe for
raising the blockade, no project could seem more
hopeless. General BRAGG has, indeed, issued a
proclamation, urging the North-Western States
to make a separate peace with the South. Can
he think, by their aid, to open the Mississippi ?
We should rather expect that the North-West
would be the last to allow that river to run
through foreign territory. It is their only great
outlet to the ocean ; and, come what will, we ex-
pect to find them determined to secure one side,
if not both sides, of the great watercourse to the
North.

But Southern taxation must surely have reached
its limits, when one -frith of all produce, agricul-
tural and other kinds, is to be taken to carry on
the war. It is a production tax of 20 per cent.,
not a net income tax. Whatever labour value
the producer has thrown into his article, this, as
well as the value of the original material, the
Confederate Government proposes to confiscate.
Connecting such a measure as this with the con-
scription, which leaves at home only old men and
boys, it seems clear that, if the North holds out but
a year or two more, Slavedom will be utterly beg-
gared, both in men and money.

But without doubt the fact which most threatens
the republic, "whose corner-stone is the Divine
right of Slavery "—is that this Divine Right is now
in danger of sharing the fate which has befallen so
many similar "Divine Rights." The North is
awakening to the necessities of its military position.
It has been slow to do so, but it has awakened at
last. It now sees that it cannot fight the South
while slave labour liberates every blackguard white,
and every fanatic proprietor of slaves, to do battle
for slavery. It should have seen this last year, and
spared itself two Bull's Runs, the disastrous expul-
sion from before Richmond, and the invasion of
Maryland. Better late than never, though eman-
cipation of rebel slaves will be far more difficult in
January, 1863, than it would have been in April,
1861.

The North is, however, becoming unanimous
nor, while it would not have been unanimous
then, It now sees, what no arguments would
have proved to it then, that it is not strong
enough to crush the Rebellion without crushing
the cause of the Rebellion. If we may use
the expression—slavery has already bruised the
heel of the North, the North will now bruise the
head of slavery. The rage of the South shows
that it dreads the decree of emancipation far more
than another vast levy. All the fine• spun tales
of southern tenderness over the negroes, and the
negroes' indifference to freedom—all, vanish at once.
It turns out, that when the negroes hear of
I the PRESIDENT'S procl mation the fear is that they
I will rise and demand their freedom—the freedom
about which they cared nothing—that they will
so prize it as to massacre all their masters and their
families who do not freely grant it to them, which
we should say would serve the masters right. These
same masters have massacred in war thousands of
white men. The sole object of the war has been to
rivet the black man's fetters, and if, as in the case
of the refugee Anderson, the alternative is—liberty
to the bondsman or the death of his enslaver, the
bondsman has a perfect right to the white man's
life. Any Englishman will at once affirm that
any man, black or white, is justified in killing
the man who would prevent his obtaining free-
dom. At heart the Southerns, notwithstanding all
their bluster, know as well as other men this inera-
dicable law of nature. Every slaveholder, be the
laws made by the oppressing race what they may,
knows that, as regards Ms slave, he is guilty of a
wrong hardly second to murder. If the slave can
successfully take the law of nature into his own
hands and escape, GOD and Christendom justify
him. If the slaveholder or his agents hinder that
rightful escape, he is justified in killing his assail-
ant rather than submit to capture. It is this
simple, fundamental fact in human nature, this
divine right of the slave to his freedom, which
makes the South quail. The North is coming fully
to realise its bearing, and the South will soon
learn what it is to fight against the love of freedom.

The calamity which has during these last few
terribly anxious months befallen the manufacturing
districts in the north, but more especially in Lan-
cashire—and under the lamentable effects of which
the operatives there are now so very grievously suf-
fering—has brought to light more than one great
compensative advantage. Very recently we took
occasion to comment upon the circumstance of its
having tended in a remarkable manner to demon-
strate before the whole world, beyond the reach of
contradiction, the fact that in oneness of feeling, of
sympathy, of loyalty, of patriotism the sixty vast
and scattered colonies of England are, in deed and in
truth (and not merely nominally), integral parts of
her imperial dominion. The contributions spon-
taneously poured in to the relief of the distress in
Lancashire from the ends pf the habitable globe,
fHroirandosttha frothen,remotest corners of Canada, from
Australia —contributions al-
ready amounting to many thousands sterling—
have evidenced, as we
maintained the other even-
ing, beyond the denial even of Mr. GODWIN' SMITH,
the cordiality of the attachment of our colonial
fellow citizens (fellow-citizens, that is, of the same

Empire) to the old Mother Country—a cordiality
of attachment all the more manifestly unaffected by
reason of its being now elicited, not by any re-
kindling of pride because of some recent enhance-
ment of her imperial glory, but by that gentler and
far more potent incentive to this, we repeat, " spon-
taneous" demonstration of good feeling, a kindly
pity for our home misfortunes. Hence the value of
these fraternal tributes, offered to t he manufacturing
population of the north of England, by the inhabi-
tants of our remotest possessions.
It is not by any means, however, to the force and
to the significanceof the import of these occurrences,
that we are here again desirous of directing the
attention of our readers. It is rather to that other
equally notable and in some respect still
more affecting corellative advantage resulting
from the very same conjuncture of circumstances
—circumstances so disastrous in themselves, but
so consolatory and encouraging to the empire at large
in their consequences! " Advantage" seems an ina-
dequate word in itself by which to designate this
dire calamity now desolating those populous dis-
tricts of the North devoted to the labours of our
cotton manufactures. Yet as an advantage we
are willing still to refer to it—our simple pur-
pose being here to emphasise the recognition of
the fact, rather than to expatiate upon it in any
higifiown terms of eulogium. And that Fact !
Is it not as recognisable, as resplendently visible
upon the Latent as that other Fact, upon which
we have already been commenting, in express
words—namely, the world-wide sympathy for
our home-sorrows, manifested by our colonial
fellow-citizens, we had almost called them fellow-
countrymen. And with reason—for are we not
all descended more or less directly from the same
Anglo -Saxon forefathers? Are we not each pre-
pared upon occasion to assert our ineradicable
devotion to the institutions of our fatherland, by
averring—not as any mere grandiloquent flourish
of affected patriotism, but as the enunciation of
our loyalty to the land from whose free institu-
tions we derive under Heaven the guarantees of
our most sacred and cherished birth rights—Civis
Britannicus sum? Reverting to that other Fact,
however—was it not eloquently indicated by one
of the closing sentences of the Royal Speech read
by the Lord Chancellor in his capacity as the re-
presentative of the Royal Commission, by which
the last session of the Legislature was terminated
according to the customary ceremonies of
prorogation ? Meaning of course nothing
less than the noble, touching, exemplary,
far more than heathenishly philosophic, be-
cause truly and eminently Christian patience
with which the poor operatives in the North have
been bearing up from first to last, are still to this
present hour bearing up, under the almost over-
whelming pressure of this dire calamity ! Some-
thing of the same kind, it must be allowed, was
evidenced some sixteen or seventeen years ago in
Ireland, when the unfortunate people of that sister
island were actually dying by hundreds from the
effects of sheer starvation. The same loyal submis-
sion—the same calm, and—we repeat the word, for
it is not only the aptest we could use, but the only
one applicable under the circumstances—the same
truly and eminently Christian resignation. Else-
where in how many other countries—(does not His-
tory upon many a blackened and blood-
stained page declare the terrible truth to which
we ale now in this incomplete sentence referring)
—elsewhere, in how many other countries, have
not the starving people risen in armed insurrection
under the pressure of similar calamities ? Cala-
mities similar in their nature, though bearing fio
resemblance whatever in their origin ! No work—
no bread : poverty first of all, destitution after-
wards, starvation, literal starvation threatening
them in the end! Circumstances like these were
immediate precursors indeed of the dire events
which marked the outbreak of the first French Re-
volution, of the French Revolution I The bakers'
shops were pillaged—riot and bloodshed were i❑
the streets—the starving population, who could
obtain no work, and who therefore could earn no
wages, and consequently could buy no food, were out
by thousands, and at last by hundreds of thousands,
armed with every deadly weapon upon which they
could lay their hands—goaded to that revolution-
ary outburst by the knowledge that they owed all
their miseries and all their pitiable degradation to the
grinding and accursed influence of a most cruel, be-
cause in one dreadful sense a most refined oligarchi-
cal mis-Government. In Lancashire nowadays,
in Ireland more than three lustres since, the peo-
ple knew on the contrary full well that for misfor-
tunes rising at last to the extremest horrors of famine
the free and benignant system of their constitutional
and enlightened Government could be held in no way
whatever responsible. The absolute reality of this
has, indeed, upon each occasion been patent to the
whole world—beyond the reach of the denial of
even the most malignant enemies of England. The
Irish Famine—arising from the disease of the po-
tatoes I The Cotton Famine now afflicting the
manufacturing districts in the North of England—
arising from a casualty no less beyond the reach of
prevention by our Government, namely, that most
afflicting casualty—the great civil war now rend-
ing assunder the North and South of the grand
American Republic, world-famous for nearly a cen-
tury as the United States. Solaced by the recog-
nition of the ready and ample aid afforded years
ago to Ireland, nowadays to Lancashire—consoled
by the thought of the loyal patriotism manifested
by our compatriots upon each of those ever-memo-
rable occasions—there is a crowning comfort in the
consideration of the glorious and lasting good that
result from the one calamity, and of the glorious
and lasting good that may yet, with GOD'S
help, result from the other calamity. From
the Irish Famine—dated the triumph of Free
Trade Principles. From the close of the American
civil war who shall say that there may not be dated
in turn the abolition thenceforth and for ever of the
abhorred and inhuman system of Negro Slavery ?
GOD grant it !

A charming little memento of a very notable
gathering of celebrities has this moment reached
our hands. We hasten gladly to acknowledge the
receipt of it, because, by so doing we are enabled
to notify the fact of its publication. It is a small
pamphlet*, or rather less of a brochure than of a
livraison, extending to sixty-three pages in all—
the work attaining, in this manner, a sort of literary
grand climacteric, at the very instant of its nativity
—a wonderfully readable, and even enthralling
" volumette,o or " bookling," in which are contained
all the speeches (the report giving as nearly as pos-
sible the ipssissirna verba of the different orators) at
the Banquet given to M. VICTOR HUGO, at Brussels,
on the 16th of September. The charm of this re-
port is, that it is not merely a report. The
speeches being strung together, like pearls, upon the
thread of a very acceptable narrative. Aided by
the reporter, who is also the writer of the run-
ning commentaries, connecting speech with
speech, we are there, as it were, present in spirit at
the hansquet. We do all but taste the viands and
quaff the wines—we partake at any rate of what
were the chief glory and zest of this banquet—

" The feast of reason and the flow of soul I"
To the watchful eyes, the listening
ears, and the
ready hand of M. GUSTAVE FREDgiux) we are

indebted for this faithful record of the proceedings
attendant upon this noble demonstration and of the
brilliant orations deliveredatit. Eleven orators took
part in these proceedings. Chief amongst them all
of course, the Hero of the occasion, the Author of Les
illiserables. And after him without an instant's doubt,
M. Louis BLANC, whose powers we are never in any
way reluctant to recognise because of our having,
fourteen or sixteen years since, crossed foils with
him ourselves in these columns of The Sun—in a
rather protracted correspondence, published almost
from day to day. An interchange of arguments be-
tween M. LOUIS BLANC and ourff,elves, the thought
of which yet survives somewhat agreeably in our
remembrance, and which we may hope, if still re-
tained in his recollection, has not for that reason
become embittered. If for nothing else, for inas-
much as the little book before us.contains within
it a faithful report of M. Louis BLANC'S speech
upon the 16th of September it would be welcomed
as something intrinsically valuable and singularly
well timed. About that speech there have been so
many sinister rumours—rumours that this report
will tend so effectually to dissipate. Referring to
the oration then about to be reported by him, M.
FREDERIX observes in a manner so eminently
French !—" He speaks as he writes. Only to his
style so comprehensive and so exact, to his views
so ingenious and so profound, his voice adds, I
know not what point that touches us, ah, so pro-
foundly ! There is in that eye full of fire
and in that voice piercing and rhythmi•
cal, of Louis BLANC, a sort of fascination!"
We could find in our hearts to go on translating
this eloquent
"Souvenir " of the 16th of Sep-
tember down to the elating sentence, only that,
first of all, we lack /both time and space, and
secondly, supposing 'we possessed at the mo-
ment the amplest allowance of either, we have a
reasonable amount of respect for the laws of inter-
national copyright. Enough, therefore, if we now
commend to those who care to have it, this very wel-
come importation.

COURT CIRCULAR.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 21.

The Queen, and his Majesty the King of the Belgians,
attended Divine Service at Lacken on Sunday morning.
Their Royal Highnesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise,
Prince Arthur, and Prince Leopold were likewise present.
Her Majesty was attended by Lady Churchill and Lady
Augusta Bruce.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 22.
The Queen remains at Lacken, waiting for a change in
the weather to embark for England.
A storm of unusual severity s ill prevails.

The Prinee of Wales arrived at Lyons at the
same time as the Prince Royal of Prussia. His Royal
Highness travels under the name of Baron Renfrew, and
the Prince Royal as Count de Lingen. The royal party
attended the Grand Theatre the evening of their arrival,
and were expected to leave Lyons the next day for Italy.
His Excellency the Russian Ambassador is cx
petted at Chesham House to-day from Brighton.
The Duke of Newcastle has arrived at Thomas's
Hotel, Berkeley-square, from Clumber Park, Worksop.
The Earl and Countess Russell come to town to-
day from visiting the Duke of Bedford at Woburn Abbey,
Bedfordshire.

The Countess of Ellesmere arrived at Bridge-
water House yesterday from Worsley Hall, Manchester.
Her ladyship will leave town in a few days for Burwool,
Surrey.

Viscount Palmerston comes to town to-day from
Broadlands in order to attend the Cabinet Council.

Lord Henry and Lady Ulrica Thynne have left
Maiden Bradley for Worthing.

The Hon. Lady Airey and family have arrived
in Grosvenor-place from the Continent. Her ladyship will
leave town in a few days to pass the winter at Brighton.
Sir George Cornewall Lewis has arrived at Kent
House from Harpton Court, Radnorshire.

The Right Hon. Frederick Peel, M.P., and Mrs.
Peel arrived at their residence in Chesham-place last

evening.
THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF CANTERBURY.—Yester-
day morning the conge d' elire, addressed to the Dean and
Chapter of Canterbury, was presented to the Rev. Dr.
Alford, who will proceed to the election within 12 days of
the present date. Of course there will be no opposition.
The last opposition to the election of a bishop recommended
by the crown was in the case of Dr. Hampden, Bishop of
Hereford, in 1848, when the dean and one canon voted
against him, the majority of the capitular body:being in his
favour. In the event of a vote of the Dean and Chapter
being adverse to a royal nomination, or if they should fail
to elect within twleve days, the crown can appoint by
letters patent. The Archbishopric of York will not be
vacant until aft,r the confirmatitn of the election of Dr.
Longley by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury is com-
pleted at St. Mary-le-Bow Church, Cheapside, and
which will take place on or about the 7th of November.
The following address is in course of signature in
the Archdeaconry of York, and will be presented to the
Archbishop in the course of a few days :—" We, the under-
signed clergy of the Archdeaconry of York are unwilling
that your grace should quit the diocese without some ex-
pression of our regret at the loss of one whose wisdom,
kindness, and self-denial we have largely experienced, and
so gratefully acknowledged. We trust, however, that the
change which we ourselves lament will conduce to the
general welfare of the church. We rejoice that by your
elevation, under God's good providence, to the premacy of
all England, our national church will receive the benefit of
the mature experience acquired during an active episcopate
of 24 years in the northern province. We pray that the
blessing of God may ever rest upon you, and that His
grace may guide you in the discharge of the high functions
of ;hat office to which you are now called ; that you may
long enjoy health of body and vigour of mind, and that you
may be the honoured instrument of promoting what we are
assured is the dearest wish of your heart, the glory of God
and the eternal good of man."
THE CONVICT ROUPELL.—Mr. William Roupell,
who was convicted on his own confession at the last sitting
of the Central Criminal Court of forgery, and sentenced by
Mr. Justice Byles to penal servitude for life, is still in New-
gate, no order for his removal having been received by the
authorities from the Secretary of state for the Home De..
partment. Mr. Roupell, who is habited in the prison dress
and has had his beard and moustache cut off, and his hair
considerably shortened, is subjected to the strictest prison
rules, to which he conforms with resignation. He is taci-
turn in his habits, and has never said a word to the officials
who attend on him in reference to the subject of his confine-
ment. He has written nothing in prison since his convic-
tion, the rules in such a case forbidding communication
with any person out of doors, and there is reason to believe
that he has left nothing in the shape of documentary state-
ments which can tend to throw any light upon the che-
quered history of his past life and conduct. It is expected
that he will be removed to the convict establishment at
Portland in the course of a few days.
THE CASE OF MRS. M`LACHLAN.—We (North
British Mail) understand that the report of Mr. Young, the
Crown Commissioner, in regard to the case of Mrs.
M'Lachlan, was sent off on Tuez3day night to the Home
Secretary, so that in a few days an answer may be expected.
The convict continues to maintain a behaviour altogether
Lecoming one in her position. She gives commendable heed
to her spiritual advisers, the chaplain of the prison (the
Rev. Mr. Doran), and the Rev. H. S. Paterson, who are
unremitting in their daily attentions to her best interests.
She speaks but little, and occupies her time mostly in read-
ing the Bible, and other good books. Her husband has
frequent interviews with her, and we believe, with the ex-
ception of Mr. J. A. Dixon, one of her agents, no other
person but those already mentioned and the prison officials
see her, although applications have been most numerous
and influential. There is no condemned cell in the North
Prison, so that the prisoner has been confined all along in
an ordinary apartment. With the view, however, of shut-
ting her off completely from the outer world, since her
conviction, two cells at the far end of the corridor of the
top flat of the prison have been boarded up. Means have
been employed to keep the prisoner quiet and under strict
surveillance continually. Female warders, accordingly, are
constantly with her, and none but the two rev. gentlemen
named, the prisoner's husband, her agent, and the prison
officials, are permitted to see her.

MR. COBDEN AND INTERNATIONAL MARITIME
LAW.-Mr. Chilton, president of the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce, at a meeting of the Council of that body yester-
day, announced that Mr. Cobden would be in Manchester
to-morrow (Friday), and would deliver an address on the
subject of international maritime law. Mr. Chilton be-
lieved it was the intention of Mr, Cobden and some other
gentlemen to form an association for the promotion of this
object, of which Mr. Cobden has been so zealous and able
an advocate. Mr. B. A. Macfie remarked that it would be
desirable to co-operate with the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce, and it tended to increase the cordiality and
unanimity between the two bodies, as the subject was one
of many others upon which it was desirable the two bodies
should be in accord.

RAILWAY CARRIAGES IN AMERICA.--The cars, as
the Americans designate their railway carriages, on the road
from Cleveland to Cincinnati, are among the nicest I have
ever seen. They are not only brightly painted, gilded, and
upholstered, and furnished with retiring rooms, but are
warmed in winter, cooled in summer, and thoroughly ven-
tilated always, in a manner that could scarcely fail to satisfy
a Times correspondent. In the warmest days of an Ameri-
can summer, with the thermometer at 100, and the train
en% eloped in clouds of dust, these cars are clean, airy, and
cool. By ingenious machinery a constant current of air is
cooled and passed through them. In winter, these cars are
warmed and ventilated with hot air, supplied in great abun-
dance. These cars, it is true, are not very exclusive. They
seat 30 or 40 passengers. The gentlemanly conductor walks
through the entire train to examine tickets, when it is in
rapid motion; so the boy who sells newspapers, books, and
sugar-plums has free access, and the coloured gentleman
who supplies the passengers with water, where that luxury
is not kept in well-iced reservoirs in every car. But the
lack of exclusiveness is compensated to the traveller, who
wishes to see the people of the country he is passing through.

EX-PRESIDENT TYLER.—It is related of him
that, shortly after, his neighbours, in a spirit of pleasantry,
elected him to the almost men's.' office of overseer of the
public roads in his vicinity ; and that, instead of resenting
what amounted practically to an insult, he not only ac-
cepted the post, but actually performed its duties in such a
rigid manner, and exacted from the jesters so strict a ful•
filment of the requirements of the law on their part, that
they were glad to beg him, although vainly, to resign.
Macmillan' s Afagazine.

Slavery, as seen by the traveller in the South,
presents only its softest and most amiable aspects. There
is something fascinating ire the respect with which every
white person is treated, and the obsequious alacrity with
which he is served. E very negro, to whomsoever he may
be,ong, must be respectful and obedient to any white per-
son. The superiority of race is asserted and acknowledged.
If there are hardships and cruelties in this servitude, they
are rarely seen by a stranger. The negroes are careless and
happy, or stolid and stupid. Some are trusted with untold
gold—some, I am sure, rule their masters and mistresses,
and haVe things pretty much their own way. The servants
of old families, where generations of black men have
served generations of whites, all have the pride of family
and ancestry, and look down with aristocratic contempt
upon the common niggers of the nouveaux riches. That
slavery has either a strong fascination, or same redeeming
features, may be judged from the fact that English, Irish,
and the Northern American emigrants to the South, what-
ever their former opinions, generally follow the customs of
the country, and become the owners of slaves,—Once a

LATEST E WS.

PARIS, OCT. 23.

The following appointments of First Secretaries
of French Legations have been officially announced

to-day:—

M. de Massignac, to the embassy of St. Peters-
burg; M. Frezals, to Berne ; M. de Rayneval, to
Berlin ; and M. Bonnieres de Vierre, to Turin. M.
Saint Ferrol will proceed as Second Secretary of
Legation to Vienna.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 23, 10 A.M.
The Queen is still detained at Lacken by the
violence of the weather.

This morning, however, the hurricane has slightly
abated, and her Majesty will, if possible, leave to-
day.

TURIN, OCT. 22.

To-day being the anniversary of the Union of the
Southern Provinces with the Northern portion of
the Italian kingdom, fetes have been held in all
the principal towns. The cities have been illu-
minated, public alms have been distributed to the
poor, and other popular rejoicings have taken place.
Perfect order has been maintained. The anniver-
sary has also passed in the Sicilian provinces
without disturbance.

A branch railroad at Reggio has been opened

to-day.

The Dzscussione of to-day says that the Finance
Minister has disposed of a large amount of Trea-
sury bonds in foreign countries, and that the
Credit Mobilier has discounted 20,000,000 lire of

these securities.

Garibaldi has been removed from the Varignano
to the town of Speszia. He now lodges in a house
belonging to the Minister of the Marine.
The weather was fine and the removal borne well
by the patient.

The state of the General's health is slightly im
pro Ted, although the papers still express much ap
prt hension.

FRANCE.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

La France of this evening says that M. de Sar-
tiges will leave Paris for Turin at the commence-
ment of November.

M. Drouyn de Lhuys received the Corps Diplo-
nig tique yesterday, and spoke for a considerable
time with Monsignor Chigi, the Papal Nuncio.
The Opinion Nationale of this evening states that
M. de la Tour d'Auvergne will leave to morrow for
Berlin, to present his letters of recall.
La Patrie announces that the Council of State
has resumed its sittings. The Emperor will preside
on Friday next, when the question of the bakers
will be taken into consideration.

M. Fould, Minister of Finance, has returned to
Paris from his visit to Marseilles.

The Emperor has presented to Count de Kisseleff,
as a special mark of his esteem when on the point
of definitively quitting the Embassy of Russia, the
ILsignia of the Legion of Honour in diamonds.
The Count bad already received the Grand Gordon
from the Emperor's hands on May 10,1859, the day
on which his Majesty left for the Italian campaign.
