LONDON, Friday, March 81, 1856.
In my last letter spoke of the political sgnii-
canoe of the birth of an Imperial Prince at the
Tuileres Let us now look at the circumstances
with which that event was connected. 1t was the
18th of March-the "Ides of March, the ami
yersary of Julius Casar's violent death-that Eu-
genie felt the first pains. The next morning,
few minutes before o'clock, her sufferings grew
stronger, and accordingly the princes and grand
dignaries Of the Empire rere esiled into her sick
room to ritness the birth Of the Imperial infant
Eugene, though she sacrificed her finer feelings to
her vanity of becoming an Empress, has still re-
tanned so much of womanly modesty as to be en-
barrassed, if not outraged by the intrusion of men
into her bedroom, and by serving, in the pains of
maternity, for a spectacle to strangers "The
"sight of so many persons" says the semi-oficial
organ, produced an effect upon the Empress
(Which suspended for a moment the operations of
"nature. She experienced the most circulating
"agony, which the skill of the physicians sue
"ceeded at last in allaying, and at 81 o'clock the
Imperial child came into the world" 1t was
just the dawn Of Palm Sunday, which ought
to remind his father and mother how lit
tie distant from one another are the shouts
of "Hosannah !" and of "Crucify him"
As was expected, the birth of the Prince has
been accompanied by the semi. official announce
ment that peace will be concluded before the 3lst
inst-Baron Manteuffe the Prussan Plenipoten-
tiary being invited solely for the purpose Of sign
ing the agreement entered into by Lord Clarendon
and Count OrlOff, since it now Oozes out that
France has played a neutral part in the Confer.

"his colleague would have been inclined to yield
far more had they not found how highly that
"gilt was valued which they had the power to con-
90 fer or withhold So confirmed and earnest now
is the longing for peace, that England IS perhaps
"more unpopular for insisting on good terms tor
"he allies than Russia is for ,cithhOlding them"
When the conditions of peace become known 1t
will be found that Russia wOrsted IN the held, mas
fully recovered her losses and her prestige in
the Cabinet and that the result the war may be
summed up as follows: The European acknowledge
ment of the Napoleon Dynasty; the STRENGTHENING
of Austria, and the betrayal of Turkey. The tone
of the English press as regards Napoleon shows
clearly that the hearty French alliance Is already
at discount
Though it is indubitable that the Plenpoten-
tiaries have succeeded In settling all the most I'M
pOrtant conditions Of peace, the formal document
embodying them will scarcely be signed before

any case the ratification Of the treaty Will be post
