Louis Napoleon, Emperor of France, is rather below the middle stature has dull and drowsy eye, and couutenanse that ordinarily expresses but httle. He is about foftysfour years of age, and has had an adventurous life. From an artil- lery officer in Switzerland. q .fowdy. in New York, special officer h London, and prisoner at Ham. he is now firmly seated on the most aaszling throne of Eu. rope, and wields . power second only 10 that of the Emperor of Russia. Public opinion has undergone great change in regard to bis mental capacity since he ascended the. throne of Frsnce. He has manifested an abilitytof high order as a ruler and statesman and. at this mos
 nent, exercises greater influence over the affairs of Europe than any other sov- ereigu. not even excepting the Emperor of Russia. And this influence he has yielded wisely for his own interests, and thus far, for the honor ani interests of France. He enters on the conflict with his great antagonist of Russia with a dauntless spilit. and an energy of prepar. stion that shows much of the true metal of his uncle 1" of glorious memory
 Queen Victoria, of England, rules over the most pcpulous. wealthy and power. full empire on.the globe. On her domin. ions the sun never sets: and under her government the people of Englaad and Scotland. at least enjoy more freedom than uoder any other monarchy. Queen Victoria is now thirty five years of age ; of mild and amiable disposition, ard is an exemplary wife and mother, But as ruler. she exercises little real authority. Her Cabinet Councillors. and Parliament are the actual rulers of the British Eme pire. The naval power of England is nearly as great as that of all other na. tions combined ; and her commerce and manufactures greater than those of any other nation. 3aa o9lseS'@s9 es@
 Oscar. King of Sweden, is now in the prime of life, and. personally, is strongly inclined 10 side with the Czsr in the pre- sent war. But his people, almost unan- imously, are hostile towards Russia. An armed neutrality is his declared position, and'to this position and itsrights the CEar accedes.

 Christina. Queen of Spain. Is fully oc- cupied, just now. with the insurrectionary movements of her own people. who are disguste6 with her open proAigacy, her disregard of the welfare of her subjects, and the arbitrary principles of her gov- efnment. She is young yet, but her reign will probably bs short. s a,4a2

 The King of Naples is an unmitigated tyrant: blood-thirsty, cruel, and resolv> ed on maintaining the .dlvins rigb. of kings ;" and such is the. temper of his subjects towards him, that he has . very fair chance of meeting q sudden and vio- lent death. A few years ago he was an accomplished horseman and charioteer, and might be seen almost daily driving through the streets of Naples with fires quent nod of recognition iO bis people. He is now, seldom seen.. except when surrounded by his guards. He n . Bourbon of the French family. and is friendly to Russia but bis influence is of little account among the European ra- lions.
 Otho. King of Greece, is mete cy- pher. tool. in the hands of England and France. aaa ata@ @ Such are the principal sovereigns of Europe, at the commencement of . gen. eral war that -is likelyto prove one of the most sanguinary and momsntous conflicts that has ever occurred on that continent. and that cannot fail to result in the end in many changes in iss condition.
