The Eastern question, though presenting no new
phase on which the public interest can just now par
tculaIly fix ITSELF is nevertheless pregnant with ma
terial. SaDgune persons have been disposed to
argue from the change Of front which Russia is now
prfseL ting that the game Is all but up, and that the
Gear had better make clean business of 1t by sbd-
cation; but rejecting parties, especially those

reunions from the vulgar gaze, are not misled.
They know that never at any moment since the
commencement Of the war were Russian armauents
SO earnest and 30 digent; that from the frontiers
Of Asia to those Of Germany, Russia resembles
vast field of military mannuvres that the reserves
OF the central provinces are being sent towards the
frontiers; that the service Of the fortified places Of
the interior has been conded to garrison battaiiOns
and veterans that everywhere large bodies OF
troops on the march, and toat the principal cur
rent of this immense military emigration Is towards
the Southwestern fact, towai ds tue Austrian mon
tier. II we draw from all that ID passing, there
fore, both in Germany and Russia, the deductions
which naturally arise the result will be that Russia
is preparing theoretically for gigantic contest,
and that Germany is acting as II 1t had
no doubt of the purely strategicai nature
as to the determine tion Of the Gear to main
tain his pretensions. The movement, indeed,
Of Russian troops embraces the whole extent Of the
empire Even Siberia and Tartary are called into
requision. The great mass Of Cossacks have, 1t IL
said, been called under arms and are advancing, by
forced marches, towards the frontiers which are
menaced. And yet men are found, with Sebastopol
and Cr0nstadt intact, to be talking OF the Cars
abdication forgetting that where there is system
the abdication Of the head changes nothing. Nicho
las disenthroned tomorrow, the Russian system,
handed down from Peter the Great, is still what it
ives, and may be carried out with augmented energy
by the next occupant of Nicholas place. Abdica
tons in point Of fact, effect nothing. Napoleon
the First abdcated, and for moment absolutism
triumphed; but fifteen years afterwards the revou-
ton OF 1880 lifted up its head, and eighteen years
after that, in lS4S, the republic of France was
great faot and now there is still greater fact in
the reipaugurati0n of the Napoleon dynasty. It L.
felt in TRUTH that Russia can only be conquered by
being beaten.
NJ de Persigny is on bis way to Switzerland, and
is reapiDg the reward Of once having been the envy
of the world The fate Of fallen ministers is proven
bal; and in these days, when the times bring US
back to days such as Louis the Fourteenth, the
same whsperings, backbitings and ISLANDERS are cur
rent It Is said of NJ. de Persigny that he was never
satisfed-that he was always craving, always ask
ing, always teazing for more and more, till at length
fairly tired out, his imperial friend and master &C
copied the long threatened resignation. am in
clined to think that all this is either false gross
exaggeration Persigny was jealous friend, but
an Indifferent man OF business. Poiia tout! NJ.
Billanlt, who has assumed bis functions is unques-
tionably man of distinguished ability. His prin.
ciples may be said, however, to be grade inferior
to those Of his predecessor He will, without doubt,
serve Napoleon well, long as that imperial per-
sonage is strong enough to hold his own; tshoud
he fail to do so, NJ Bault is not the to play the
martyr. He is fortynne years of age, was an avocat
at Nantes, and became Deputy in 1887, and fol-
lower Of Odilon Barrett. Three years after he went
over to Thers-at that time red hot against the
English about the Tahiti business-the Pritchard
affair. Under him he took Office, and continually
assailed Guzot about the entente cordiale. At the
revolution Of lS4S, he became q member Of the
National Assembly, was made one Of its Vice
Presidents, and distinguished himself by his advo-
cacy of the Assemblys interests against the Presi
dent Of the republic. This however, did not hinder
him from seeking the service of that President
when be became Emperor and fulfilling with great
ability the office of President of the Legislative
Council, which he hiss now done for nearly three
years. Napoleon in this initiates his great ances-
tor: As the buccaDeer says to the frail fair one,
he meets on lee shore" ask thee not what thou
hast been, only see thou be faithful to me, or this
told wealth are N. Billauit's portion on the one
band, and on the other Napoleon can do as he
pleases, il the Home Minister plays any tricks;
Again: am sorry to say, the weather Is such as
thunder storm on Saturday, which by its electric
effects spread alarm and CONSERVATION, and consd
cradle destruction over Paris and its environs,
seemed to promise at length finale. The sun, for
over everything. The luscious fruit, Of which the
abundance is uDexsmpled, was brought to market
fresh and unchanged, the shops were gorged with
very harvest Of new vegetables; and In the coun-
sign of plenty for both man and beast. But now all
is again changed: violent rains, relieved by partial
glimmerings of the great centre Of light and heat,
come pouring down, damaging and driving all be-
fore them and all looks sad, and gloomy, and fore
boding.
II is decided that the opera is in future to be re.
guated by the imperial civil list 80 that henceforth
the Parisians may look for Capitalization Of Ia
that without which the most dulcet notes are dumb.
Money never fails when Napoleon deigns to smile.
On the Fourth of July all the American vessels at
Havre were gaiy adorned with the national colors.
Their crews paraded the streets, utteTing joyous
hurrahs, and by the warmth Of their enthusiasm ex
cited the spirits Of the French, who are not gene
rally too romantic about national rejoicings.
