THE TWO EMPERORS.
The NoPd publishes a letter from its Paris cor-
respondent, which states that it will be impossible
for the Emperor. of Russia to come to France this
year, inasmuch,as he is expected at Kiew at the
beginning of October. It says also that an inter-
view between the Emperor of the French and the
King of Prussia, which had been spoken of, is not
likely, in consequence of the state of the King's
health. The same letter adds :—" Count de Ras-
neval, ambassador of France at;St. Petersburg, will
accompany the Emperor of the French to Stutt-
gard, as will also Count Widewski, Miuister of
Foreign Affairs. It is even said that Count de
Moiney will do the same, and it is natural that he
should, as it was he who prepared the way for the
iuterv:ew of the two Sovelegus. The Emperor
of Russia will be accompanied by Prince
Gort:chakotf, his min'ster of foreign affairs, and
Count de Kisseleff, Rusian Atuliisador at Paris,
is to join his sovereign."
Accounts from Stuttgard of the 14th state that
no7hiug definitive has been set led with respect to
the entertainments which tare to be offered t ) Ih.
two Emperors, except thit, on the 27th, a giallo
ga'a representation will take l lace at the Thea're
Royal. It is thought that the military manceuvrfs
now going on at a spot between Rana and Heil
bronn will be protracted so that the grand review
may•take place in the presence of the two Emperors.
The troops in question comprise 10,000 men.

RUSSIA.
The Berlin journals lately spoke of the probable
resignation of two of the ministers, these of finance
and of commerce. It appeArs, however, that it is
only the latter who withdraws. The cause of this

act is assign d in the following left ,r from the
Prussian capital :--
"The motive of M. Von der Ileydt's retirement is
said to be the decision come to by the Council of State
to cede to the opinion which has several times of late
years been expressed in the Chamber of Deputies, to the
effect that for the future the fund set aside for railways
shall be mixed up with the general funds of the State,
arid be applied to the ordinary expenses of the kingdom.
The fund in question 18 formed by means of a duty im-
posed on railways hi longing to private companies, and
the amount of which for the current year is esti-
mated at about 600,000 thalers (31. 75c. each).
The employment of that fund has hitherto been
to purchase shares in these railways, so as to pro-
gressively facilitate the transfer of these private proper-
ties to the State. Since 1853 the purchases thus made
have become so considerable that the dividends and
interest are valued for 1857 at 88,000 thalers. When,
last year, the Chamber had a proposition brought before
it to appropriate the railway fund to the payment of
civil and military functionaries, the Minister of Com'
coerce energetically affirmed that it would be a highly
objectionable proceeding to sacrifice, as proposed, the
solemn obligations of the law of 1853, and declared
that he would never consent to the possession of railways
being so prolonged to private companies. The propo=r-
tion was then rejected ; but as the Council of State has
now a,;ain considered the matter, and approved of it Af•
Von der Heydt at once sent in his resignation."
