jCounsels Of Peterborough. If any Frenchmen
have been arrested at Petefsburgl, we dare say
they are some low villains, gambling swindlers,
who are banisbed for Actions Of criminal nature.
Another rnnour was, tbat the Emperor bad dis
discovered the designs Of the French,land that he
had declared he would take an active part III ia
yeur of this country, if the neutral countries were
mot immediately evacuated. This declaration of
the Emperor in favour Of neutral states comes ra-
her late, after the conquest, pillage, and saekng
J of Hanover. But it is Idle TO suppose that the
French government had not ascer1aiued the stn.l.
lments Of the Cabinet OF Petersburgh before they
lmMchcd man into the Electorate. Yet we have
always maintained that The real interests of Rms
/ STA should have led her to cooperate With this
country. She has pu,sued a contrary policy, and
now, after the mischief has been ELECTED, W. are
desired to believe thar the Emperor will make a
declaration in favour of the neutral countries that
nave been ruined by the Ffench arms.
Another speculation is that tie Emperor Of
Russia and the King Of Prussia finding their Mi
nsters too nuchin the French interest, are deter
mined to correspond by letters written by their
own hands, What the nature Of chat correspon
dence may BE-, or whether it exist at all, we know
not: but we have every reason 10 believe, that
they who suppose It involve the fate of king
doms will find themselves mistaken. Those who
are at I'll acquainted with The characters Of tic
tw Monarchs, know full well thar their Mini
s1ers have the greatest inauenc: over them.
But il seems that alleyrand IS disgraced, be-.
Cause he IS gone 10 take the waters OF B9ny60a
/ f.artbam6anlf, and that the Russian Ambassador
in Farce is Disguised, because he is gore to
Bareges. M. Ta,leyrand is well known to be,
whag the French cal IN viear r0ae, whose health
is precanou8, and WHO IS ADVISED to 20 every sua
mer some watering place, to recruit has strength.
He went last sumute to BaregeS, and after hav-
ing attended Bonaparte il bis tour, is gone to
Bourbon, BY lis nas,er's permission. Wtbre
speGt to tie Russian Ambassador, this is the Sc
coud time he mas been to Bareges; whether from
the same cause that has occasioned Talieyrand's
trip to Bourbon, we know not.
A letter from Boulogne, dated August 8, 1909,

We hear from B3mbay, that a general Ell
gagcment took place on the I7th of December,
between troops of The King of Tonqun and the
Mandarin One ThJn Their, who, with 100000
men, had determined 70 march to the capital city,
called Cache. The Mandarin was slain in the
commencement Of the action when the command
devolved Ga 1'chileu, an officer Of rank. Tie
King Of Topqun headed his own arniy, and af-
ter the battle the Tonquinese were ID full puguie
Of The enemy. The number Of killed is SAID to
Be incredible. Both armies occupied parallel lies
