THE IMPERIAL MEETING AT
STUTTGARD.

The Constitutionnel at length pronounces its
opinion on the interview at Stuttgard, and comes
to the conclusion already formed by the principal
otgans of the European press and by the public,
;hat an essentially pacific spirit presides that inter-
view, and that the general interests of European
states will be consulted by the two sovereigns. We
reproduce the views of the Constitutionnel with the
remark that its reflections on the attitude of the
German press are ont of date, for the announce-
ment of the approaching interview at Weimar has
relieved any apprehension or destroyed any hopes
that may have been entertained by certain Prussian
end Austrian journals, and has led to a complete
change in their views and language
" The solemn meeting at Stuttgard attracts at
the present moment the attention of Europe, and
creates in certain points of Germany an emotion
which appears somewhat of an exaggerated cha-
racter. This emotion may nevertheless be readily
conceived. The meeting of the two Emperors
could not fail to awaken instinctively certain recol-
lections which half a century has not effaced from
the memory of nations. • Certain analogies, rather
apparent than real, the resemblance of names and
places, have enhanced the illusion which a gloomy
policy has been pleased to foment. A portion of
the press of Germany has in the last few days
undertaken to revive past reminiscences, to lend a
certain fallacious character to the Stuttgard inter-
view, and to prepare resistance to its results. It
has been asked whether Stuttgard is not to be con-
sidered as another Erfurt, and where another
Alexander and another Napoleon are not about to
shake hands over the head of Germany. It would
be waste of time to reply to thee fears, or to prove
how great is the difference between the times, the
circumstances, and the peisonal character of the
the two Emperors. Napoleon 111. and Alexander
11. have, it is known, inaugurated their reign by a
common idea—peace 1 Their ambition is directed
to pacific triumphs, to theprogress of their subjects.
In their ideas, the interests of nations rise
superior to the satisfied pride of governments.
The fatality of war- which they were compelled
to undergo tended to enhance their inborn
moderation and-wisdom. This should suffice, in
our opinion, to calm these imaginations that have
been too deeply excited ; for why, amidst so many
interpretations that have been presented, should
not the one be preferred which is so naturally indi-
cated by the past ? Serious and numerous diffi-
culties of a nature to compromise the peace of the
world have arisen within late years. More than
one of these difficulties has been happily and glo-
riously surmounted by means of a powerful spirit
of corciliation ; but some are still in existence, and
fresh ones have arisen. Several countries of Eu-
rope are in an unsatisfactory state, and are deli-
vered
up to erailirrassments which may attract the
attention of th sovereigns. Events have, more-
over, taken place sufficiently serious to appeal to
their high solicitude. No one can anticipate the.
results of their secret conference ; but the policy
which inspired the peace of Paris has, we imagine,
offered sufficient guarantees to authorise unlimited
security in the future. Should the traditions of a
policy inspired by suspicion and jealous suscepti-
bilities still exist id the councils of Europe, it is to
be supposed that the spirit which has presided the
Stuttgard interview will remain as a salutary elc-
ample. The inspirations of that ancient policy maY
be detected in the suspicious and uncharitable inter-
pretation given by certain journals to the meeting
at Stutgard, at a time when past events teStifieu
with sufficient eloquence to the real signification of
hat interview."

THE HEALTH OF OUR TROOPS IS

It may be gratifying to the many who are not
volunteering their services for India to learn that,
with ordinary precaution, the heat of the climate
can not only be endured, but its effects made ill'
nocuous by a judicious mode of living.
It is with a view of warding off some of the blows
which are inflicted on the heedless that we offer
few practical remarks, suggested by many years

moisten your lips with a little dilute,l spirits from
your canteen (all wear them, from the General to
the trumpeter) ; repeating the same whenever most
needful, you will remain fresher than those around
you who gulp off their little store at a single
draught, and afterwards suffer bitterly for it.
It is the knowledge of having a reserve which keeps
thirst away more effectively than anything else.
Cold tea, without milk, and perhaps a small addi-
lion of spirits, is a fine thing to take on in the can-
teen. Drink spirits, but moderately, and diluted
with water. Never touch raw spirits, or your
liver will soon tell a tale.
Beware of excess as you value your life. Ycfl
