Some surprise has been created by large party
OF the national guard visiting the seat of their
exiled monarch. A deputation from the party
waited on LOUIS Philippe, and expressed their
coincidence Tor his misiortunes. They were gra-
ciousy received; and when regretting the absence
OF the ex-Clueen preventD Dg them offering her a
similar expression of their sympathy, they were
invited to repeat their visit for that purpose
Whether any treason to the republic prompted the
VISIT, is not said; but the snme. it is charlta-
bic to ltascribe as emanatIDg from feeling of pity
Tor a fallen family. The various parties that have
visited town have invariably been well received,
and i is aIdeDlly hoped they will not allow their
popularity 10 diminish by any un worthy Intrigurs
with dynasty that has forever forfeited any cl AIMS
to govern France.
The announcement of the forward state of the
new line OF American steamers that are intended
to ply between New York and Liverpool, has been
received here with Satisfaction, as It will bring
into operation healthy competition, which Is

A statement OF the present position of parties in
Austria and its dependencies, may be comprised
in a nutshell. AT the breaking out of tn, last
revolt IN Vienna, the people had throughout been
restrained by the Diet, and might have driven the
Ban where they pleased This delay and want of
decision have enabled an immense imperial force
10 surround the capital In the mean time, the
Hungarian army, notwithstanding their inagni-
cent promises, Is retiring to its own capital, to |
leave the citizens to a humilIating surrender. In
this war OF races, only one sympathy exists, |
namely, that of opposing the Emperor as a COM
tendencies OF Austria, Germany and Itrly are

Some uneaslness is at present being felt that a |
screw Is loose in the political machine of the Bel
gan government, as the Brussels National Guard
have been dlsbanded at a moments warning.
