--(P;o;n the Morning Post.)
Notwithstanding the sinister predictions respect-
ing the Imperial entry into France, that event has
at length taken place, and it has been; 'marked by
all the features ef popular_enthusiasm which the
most devoted adherent of Napoleon the Thirdeould
possibly have desired. The army of Italy, headed
by the Emperor =in person, swept along -from the
Plaoe-de.la Bastille to the Place Vendome, and the
sight of these bronzed and weatherbeaten.rsoldiers
—still more' the appearance of 'the wounded 'std.
ferers.--7-of th; mutilated memorials of Magenta'and
olferino—of the colours and cannon taken from
the foe—of the French standards all in tattters—
had the effect Of raising_popular-exeitement- to its
highest pitch.
Honour to whom honour is duel Those gallant
troops have done their duty braTely, nobly—nay,
heroiCally. The military glory of France lias.not
been • AL...lmmo xe..utc-
drove.before him " the fiery Hun ;" the flower of
the Austrian army has been compelled to attest by a
succession.of defeats its inferiority to the French.
Paris and France might wall receive with enthusias-
tic 4 gratitude those sons who had so freely risked
their livesin a cause which their Sovereigtil had
made his own ; nor would that feeling 'be
diminished by the thought that many a true
heart beat no more, that ' many a stout arm
was now _rotting beneath the Lombard 'turf.
Amidst the marching of troops and the tramp
of chargers, and the booming of cannon, and
the roar of the great capital, many a moistened
eye and aching heart will tell or the fate of the
brother or son, of the lover or the friend, whose re-
turn would have converted into a day of rapturous
delight "what is now but too surely one of deepest
sorrow.

Napoleon 111. has his own legitimate share of
thig great military triumph. In the dispositions,
hurried as they necessarily were, previous' to the
campaign,: in the successes of the campaign itself, in
the advantages obtained -by the application of the
latest improvements in fire-arms, in the coolness
and skill with which during each eventful battle all
the movements of the different corps were directed
by one master-mind, in all these causes of success
and titles to gratitude—amongst which one so ordi-
nary as there personal prowess is 'scarce worthy of
being natnedL---the Emperor has again vindicated
his claim to be regarded as a leader of men. • This
is, beyond all question, a' great political result of
the Italian campaign as regards France itself,' and
a great additional source of (strength to the Napo-
leonic dynasty. The qiieetion-- has often been
mooted—in the' event of '6. European war 'once
breaking out, could Napoleon 111. holtrhig ;Own
against the military chiefs'on whom he must vir-
tually rely for the preservation of his thronerFAThat
question has now been satisfactorily answered.
Napoleon 111. has no mare to dread from the rivalry

of MuratNfaepiah oonr suit
than Napoleon I. had to fear
from that
We willingly accept the enthusiasm by which the
entry of the Emperor and his troops was marked
not merely as a proof of the feelings towards the
sharers in the warp but as an omen of the satisfac-
tion at 'the re-established peace; and as " Peace
hath itY'tidttiries to less renowned than war" we
would cherish the hope that the statesnien•ofTrance
may, emulating the exploits of -her warriors, asso-
ciate with the memory of the Zurich ConferenCes
exploits not less renowned hi behalf of Italian
liberty and' progress than those that have been
al add. inked with the names of Magenta and
Solferino.

THE TWO EMPERORS.-POSSIBLE
BESOMPtION OF THE WAR.

We were informed some days ago, from:a-Bowe°
which has hardly ever been at fault wittijnas4l to
the accuracy of its information, that 'veil- grave
differences had arisen between the Emperor of
France and the. Emperor of Auseria. The commu-
nication of the fact was followed by a verbal-ex-
pressiontf opinidn, that it was not only possible,
but far from improbable, that the issue' of these
serious misunderstandings between the two Impe-
rial despots, would be the resumption of the war in
Italy. We thought it better, however, not to refer
to the circumstances until we should see what turn
matters might take in a few das.. We now learn,
from another and entirely different quitrter—
but one no less likely to be correctly inforined—
that so far from the :grave differences between
the Emperors of France and Austria - being, in way of adjustment, they. have been
first
