The cerenonious attention shown 60 the Austrian
Emperor on the part OF Prussia, must have made an
unusual impression on public opinion In the last
stages OF its negotiations with Austria Prussia exh

But the friendly deposition of both has
been so openly displayed through these unusual at
tenfiens of one towards the other in this journey
OF the Emperor; and when We consider the marked
courtesy with which the Emperor OF Russia has
shown that the relations between him and the King

The last supposirion would have some weight if

been through all the changes and circumstan ces

Anusemcnts Of the European sovercIgns
From The LONDON Times, November
The TWO amusements most IN favor with the

Stage IN the evening supply spectacles which nil

OF music, induce pleasing Oblivion OF vulgar or
disagIeesble realities In fact II is necessary TO
their enjoy ment that everything else should De for
gotten, and thar The mind should wholly surrender
iiself 10 The illusion Of the hour. IL requires no
small amount Of faith, or of something that stands
in the stead of faith, 10 look with common patience
on two or three hundred property knights, bngands,
or other sort OF armed men, marching ana counter

round canvass ramparjs, or forming serTied mass

A single glance at The sodden chez KS and un-
Wleidly peunches OF the men who are bearing arms

scene Of its unsel, and expose the Disgusting
reality. Such however, II the force OF habit, hat
the finest tastes and the lofties ;neilects of the
nation are positively entranced with the dreary
humbug. The relish or the apparatus OF war IS
equally strong and equally conventional. hum

Is the plot, the moral, the conclusionl Hitherto,
there has been nothing beyond e succession OF
