LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 17, 1868.

Yesterday morning a most interesting ceremony
took place at Edinburgh for the presentation of
the freedom of the city to Lord NAPIER of MAG-
DALA. A distinguished company was present, and
the Lord Provost in presenting the certificate made
an appropriate address. The honour was perhaps
not great, he said, but it was all they had it in
their power to bestow, and it had been one of the
old " usages" of the Corporation to confer the
freedom of the city, as a token of respect, on persons
distinguished in statesmanship, arts, science, litera-
ture, and arms, who came amongst them. It is
at any rate a most interesting custom, for this
reason, that it associates with the records of all the
cities the names of mighty men, and those who have
been in their style and vocation the ornaments of
their day and generation are associated with the
memory of the places that did them the honour. As
the Lord Provost truly pat it, the good city of
Edinburgh may look with pride on the list of emi-
nent strangers who have received this " civic dis-
tinction." Beginning with JOHN HAMPDEN, the re-
cord goes on to include worthies of a later date—
Sir WALTER SCOTT, Prince ALBERT, CHARLES
DICKENS, and some others, and concluding with the
present Premier. The last man added to the list
is one that all will honour, for the Abyssinian Ex-
pedition
has caused unqualified satisfaction through
the length and breadth of the land. Lord NAPIER,
in replying to the compliment paid to him,
declared that he should ever regard the mark of
favour thus bestowed as a sign that he, and his
naval and military brethren, had faithfully served
their country in the venture they undertook. He
then gracefully disclaimed the glory of the affair as
appertaining to himself; it being, as he said, due
to all, who strove earnestly each in his vocation to
do his best, and so further the cause in which they
were all engaged. The privilege conferred upon
him was, Lord NAPIER said, doubly dear, because
he bad always felt that his name belonged to
Scotland, and though fortune has cast his lot away
from Scotland, he bad during his long residence in
India always delighted to hear of Scottish doings
from those who came there from that land. " I
have often thought," remarked he, " of the won-
derful influence which the inhabitants of what I
may call a small and rugged, though beautiful,
country have exercised upon the welfare, not of
Great Britain only, but of all countries where the
flag of (heat Britain waves." Au interesting pas-
sage of his speech was when the illustrious General
referred to a description met with in HUGH
MILLE:es works, of a scene in a stormy night, and
he compared it with the feeling which must have
been experienced by the poor Abyssinian captives,
who might well have exclaimed, on passing the
gates of M igdala as these did, when rose from the
waves that had submerged their barque, " There
are many good souls praying for us this day." In
concluding his eloquent speech, Lord NAPIER re-
ferred to the advantages which accrued to the
Scotch from the system of education which pre-
vailed in the country, and by means of which a
large mass of highly educated men in every trade
and profession was called to fill important places in
every land. A more (appropriate ceremony, con-
sidering all things, could not have taken place than
that which was yesterday witnessed in the famous
old City of Edinburgh.

There are some few men who, while they are fear-
less and uncompromising enough in maintaining
their own opinions, are yet so fortunate as to win
golden opinions from those who differ from them.
In politics we occasionally meet with a statesman
who, though mixing in the angry contentions of
the day, is never spoken of without respect and
admiration, and in the same way a military leader
may win the applause of his enemies as well as of
his friends. All the bitterness of a civil war,
which was certainly not made with rosewater,
has not alienated from General LEE the affec-
tions of his countrymen. He is a man of whom all
Americans feel proud, and he owes his position even
more to 'tis personal character than to his military
genius. The dignity and magnanimity which the
Confederate General displayed during the collapse
of his fortunes did him more honour than the
brilliant victories which won him a world-wide
reputation ; and in the midst of all the excitement,
the bitter animosities and virulent strife which has
succeeded the war, General LEE preserved the same
dignified reticence. So great was his influence over
the minds of his countrymen, and so high the
e3timation in which he was held, that the
course he might think proper to pursue
became an important question. In the first irrita-
tion of disappointed ambition, and under the sense
of mortifying failure, the white men of the South
were ready for any deed, however desperate, and
much depended on the action of Gen. LEE. The
wiser and more thoughtful looked to him for advice
and example, and when he plainly and frankly told.
the people of the Confederacy that their cause was
hopeless, and that they must accept the issue of the
war and obey the Federal authorities ; and, more-
over, when he enforced his advice by accepting
civil employment and retiring into private life, the
effect was conclusive. All saw that (len. LEE at
least regarded his parole as binding, and while he
resolutely withdrew from public affairs any at-
tempt at reorganisation of the Southern forces
would hAve been madness. General LEE has re-
mained in retirement ever since the crisis of the
war, notwithstanding the irritating conduct of the
Radicals and the dismal prospects of the South.
By so doing he has unquestionably rendered his
countrymen the hest service in his power ; but the
time has now come when he may safely emerge from
his retreat and play a more prominent part on the
stage of politics. •.

General ROSECRANS, whpse name was. familiar to
Earopearis at the tune of the:war, has been the weans

of drawing him forth. General ROSECRANS re-
cently addressed a letter to General LEE upon the
state of public feeling in the Southern States. He
asked the Southern General to procure from the
other Confederate leaders who were known to re-
present the feelings of the people of their States
a full expression of their views upon the political
questions of the day. General ROSECRANS then
went on to ask whether General LEE could hope for
peace and prosperity under the Congressional
scheme of reconstruction; and whether, if the whites
were all enfranchised and allowed to control their
section, they would treat the negroeskindly, and simi-
lar queries. Gen. LEE thereupon held a conference
with the principal Southern Ieaders—BEAUREGARD,
ANDERSON, and ECHOLS, aiId.A.LEXANDER STEPHENS.
It must have been a curious and interesting spec-
tacle to see these distinguished " brethren in arms
and rivals in renown," who had borne the brunt of
so many battles, and shared in the hopes and for-
tunes of the once flourishing Confederacy, aisem-
bled to discuss the altered future of their people.
One and all, however, they have unhesitat-
ingly accepted the situation, and instead of
fruitlessly striving to restore the past, they
are willing to render their country truer
service by bridging over the gulf which separates
North and South. In reply to General ROSECRANS,
General LEE has drawn up a statement, which he
has himself signed, and which the leaders whom
he consulted have endorsed. This statement, bein g
the first document of any kind which the Southern
commander has put forward since the close of the
war, is regarded with much interest in the States,
and the Conservatives hail it as a sign that General
LEE intends to emerge from his long retirement and
give his countrymen the benefit of his services.
General LEE begins by saying that be believes
the people of the South are sincerely desirous
of peace and restoration to the Union. He does
not think it possible that the country can prosper
while the mass of the intelligent men are disfran-
chised, and the control of. the Southern Govern-
ments is left in the hands of the negroes and a few
whites. General LEE does not add, as he might
have added, that the whites who are thus favoured
are not very favourable specimens of the commu-
nity, nor are they to be trusted even to represent
their fellows. Their partisanship for the blacks is
in many cases their principal recommendation, and
their personal claims are too often predominant.
The Northern people, General LEE believes, regard
the questions of slavery and secession as finally
settled by the war, and they have no disposition to
re-open them ; they will, if left to themselves, treat
the negroes with justice and kindness. The re-
establishment of slavery ended is so manifestly im-
possible that we could hardly imagine the Southern
people could i❑ any case indulge in such a vision,
while the attempt to restore the Confederacy at the
present juncture would be little sh art of mad-
ness. It is peace
,that the country needs—peace
both North and South ; and without peace and
internal confidence the prosperity of the Southern
plantations can never return, for the capital which
the States so much need for their re-establishment
will never flow into a disorganised and disturbed
community, where might is right. Peace, accord-
ing to General LEE, who ought to speak with know-
ledge, is the great blessing now sought by the people
,of the Confederacy. They have, he says, the
greatest interest in maintaining a good and
stable Government that will protect their
property, and under which they can go
to work with the confidence that what
they accumulate, by their labour will be secured for
themselves and their children. He adds that the
South, as well as the North, is desirous to advance
the common interests of the country, irrespective of
the causes which for a time divided the North and
South, and resulted in the Reconstruction Acts.
We may hope that this calm, temperate, and
truly patriotic letter of General LEE'S will not be
without its weight in the election struggle. In
face of such an exposition of the situa-
tion, made by such a man, who would never
stoop for party ends to deliberately disseminate
falsehood, the Radicals of the North can hardly ob-
tain credence for their extravagant and injurious
statements. If the Southern States were the hot-
bed of rebellion, and the life of a loyal white would
not be safe under the rule of unenfranchised whites,
General LEE would assuredly not have deliberately
affirmed that peace was the great wish. of the
Southern people. Let us hope that this wish may
find its echo in the North, and that the long and
weary struggle may come to an end at last.

Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE has received some
rough treatment from those who came to hear his
opinions, but the right hon. baronet was quite a
match for the unruly spirits he met with, and set
an example to other candidates by refusing to an-
swer some impertinent questions that were at last
addressed to him. We suppose it may be partly
the fault of those who introduced so bitter a feel-
ing into the debate at the close of th 3 session that
many untoward practices have prevailed during the
preparatory meetings that have been held through
the country, but be it what it may, it is
no credit to those who take advantage of
the matter to cause confusion and create
excitement. In reference to the Reform question,
Sir S. NORTIICOTE observed that the Conservative
party had nothing to be ashamed of in respect to
their conduct in that matter, for they made the best
settlement that it was in their power to make " on
a question of great difficulty and delicacy, and one
which it was impossible longer to leave unsettled."
This is a very good epitome of the affair, but it
seems to be the dodge just now in certain quarters
to decry the utility of all that has been done, and
to affect that to all intents and purposes the work
of last session, in respect to the representation of
the people, might as well have been left:alone alto-
gether. This is simply absurd to say the least of
it, and as unjust to the Government as it is insult-
ing to the constituencies of the country. It may
also be added that it reflects upon the character of
the House of Commons, because people may well
ask, Why was the measure passed if it was neces-
sary to take it to pieces again and recommence
afresh ? There is no saying to what lengths men
will not go when they are jealous, and know that
they have played their cards badly. The Liberal
party will not relieve itself by playing a
double game, and acting with duplicity to
the constituencies. Either they stand before the
country pledged to give effect to the measure which
has received the sanction of Parliament or not. In
the former case they have no business to sneer at
it ; and in the latter they are answerable for agree-
ing to it at the time it passed. Respecting the
Trish Church, Sir S. NORTIICOTE complained of the
hearty manner in \shich Mr. GLADSTONE had taken
up the question of disestablishment, after he him-
self had confessed that it had been breeding in
his mind for years. A subject of such diffi-
culty and importance should not, he said,
be approached " rashly and hastily." An immense
number of questions were put to the right hon.
baronet, to which be replied, until some extreme
ones appeared, and then he very properly declared
that he came to answer those put in a bona fide
spirit,. and not to meet statements of an insulting,
character. Sir S. NOIMICOTE said thathe did not ob-

ject to the admission of Dissenters to education at
the universities ; but be did not approve of persons
being admitted to endowments which were intended
for another commission, though Dissenters might
appropriately enjoy any endowment made for
themselves.

LATEST INTELL MENCE.

(REU'TER'S TELEGRAMS.)

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS;

(nom on bw connsronErrn)
, PARIS, WEDNESDAY, September 16.

M. Guizot's article in. the Revue des Deux Mondes'has
repaid anticipation, although it contains nothing new or
startling. It is a calm and temperate view of the political
situation, administering sweeping condemnation to none,
but shewing clearly to whom the responsibility must fall.
M. Guizot believes that the French Government sincerely
desires peace—it says what it thinks. He then proceeds
to find a solution to the question why, in the midst of the
most profound material repose, the public mind is
harassed, and business is hampered, by an obstinate feeling
of anxiety. Reviewing the state of Europe, the veteran
statesman concludes that peace is desired all over Europe,
not excepting France. England's jealousy of her powerful
neighbour has ceased, and she is sincerely pacific ; the war
fever of France was quenched by the First Napoleon. M.
Bismarck has no desire for a conflict with France, and
Russia is peaceful because she cannot be warlike. "Of all
the rulers of France, the Emperor Napoleon is un-
doubtedly the one man whose duty and responsibility on
the question of peace or war are at present the greatest.
Between the str.rs of order and'peace he haslived and reigned
since his accession." At first order had to be restored;
bait, this done, Napoleon 111. gave full sway to his warlike
star ; he waged two plausible and successful conflicts in
the Crimea and Italy, and a visionary and unfortunate war
in Mexico. " This is a great deal ;it is enough, in my
opinion, on the partof Napoleon 111. to discharge the debt
heowed to the name and example of Napoleon I. I have
no hesitation in stating that such is the feeling in France,
and I am greatly mistaken if such is not the feeling of the
Emperor himself. In 1855 I had the honour of an
interview with him.
time of the Crimean war ; Sebastopol was not
yet taken, and the issue might appear uncertain.
My academic duties fulfilled, the Emperor was good
enough to detain me, and talk over the state of affairs
in the Black Sea. He shewed himself preoccupied above
all respecting the issue of the war, the various ways there
might be of getting out of it, and the diplomatic arrange-
ments it would be necessary to take in order to prevent
the necessity of beginning so risky an undertaking over
again. I was struck with the perplexity of his mind,
with his prudent anxiety, with his moderation—l will take
the liberty of saying with the modesty of his desires and
his views. I left him, carrying away with me the convic-
tion that if be had readily entered upon war he would still
more readily make peace." M. Guizot adds that he can
see in France no party, no individual, that can overthrow
a p....ace policy. It depends on the will of the Emperor
Napoleon, and on him alone. The real or apparent hide-
cision of the Government is the root of the anxiety. M.
Guizot is willing to allow that if war were inevitable the
Government ought to adopt an expectant attitude ; but
on the great question as to whether there is to be a war or
not, the Government ought to be able to form an opinion
and act upon it. At present it does not. M. Guizot
thinks war is not probable, and he therefore recommends
that the army of France be reduced to a peace footing, after
having ascertained by diplomatic means that the example
would be followed. It is a fine article, well deserving of
consideration.

The Emperor was greatly pleased with the result of the
Var election. M. Pinard was forthwith complimented on
the result. The telegraph was immediately in requisition
to inform the successful Minister of the Interior of the
excellent impression produced at Biarritz by the news
from Toulon. It is said that the Minister of Foreign
Affairs telegraphed the result to all the French embassies
and agencies abroad. It appears that in the city of
Toulon the Opposition had the advantage. There, M.
Peyruc polled only 3,980 votes, whilst M. Dufaure
obtained 4,988.
I said yesterday that not a copy of La Lanterne founa
its way into France. According to a Belgian paper, a
printer has republished all the numbers of the obnoxious
journal in very small type, on very thin paper, and
large numbers are being imported into France in watch-
cases. They are certainly not read in public.
The Constitutionnel has published an estimate of the
vintage for 1868, in which it is concluded that the quantity
will be up to the average, and the quality good. The
writer, however, does not pronounce in favour of cheap
wines. The stock in hand is small, and the demand for
the produce of the present year is in consequence very
considerable.

A stange story is told of the Emperor of Austria's visit
to Galicia. The Austrian Ministers, Baron Beust included,
knew nothing of the project until it had been finally
resolved upon. The influence of the Hungarian and
Polish parties succeeded in gaining the consent of the
Emperor.
The Patric believes that the interview between the
Emperor Napoleon and the Queen of Spain will not take
place. At Laqueito, however, the important event is
confidently relied on.
