varia winds its iron arteries along the river,
affording the traveller new and most enchant-
ing scenes at every bend. Stuttgardt, like all
German capitals, has many Institutions for
learning, is great publishing place, and am
ply provided with the best of schools. Music
Is much cultivated the opera is good, the con.
certs remarkable for the execution of the high
eat order of classic compositions. Living is
cheap, and many Americans are educating their
children in that city. To my knowledge, there
is not place where children can be 80 well
brought up and educated for 30 little money.
On Thursday, the Sch instant, the closing re-
| view at the camp OF Chalons took place at
noon. The Empress was present, on horseback,
and the Emperor wa;, accompanied by Pyince
Napoleon, Msrshals Msguan Count de Csstel-
lane, Duke de Malakof, Count Random, C5nro-
| bert, and Bosquet. After passing along the
| front of the troops, wao were drawn up ih two
hnes, the Emperor distributed recompenses,
merited by long service. The fling off after
wards took place, under the orders of General
dAngeIy, and was admirably executed. Not
outstanding the unsettled state of the weather,
an immense crowd of persons from the neigh
borhood were present. The Emperor address
ed the soldiers as follows:
"Soldiers The time which we have passed
together will not have been lost Your mill
tsry knowledge has been improved, and the
bonds which united Us have been drawn still
closer. When General Bonaparte had conclu.
ded the glorious peace of Campo Formio, he
fastened to again place the conquerors of Italy
in exercises in flatoons and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
showing how useful he considered it, even for
soldiers, to constantly fall back on the funda-
mental rules of theory. That lesson was not
forgotten; for scarcely had you returned from
glorious campaign, when you applied your
selves with zeal to practical study OF evolutions
and you have inaugursted the camp of Chalons
which is to serve as q great school of msneu-
vres for the whole army. The Imperial Guard
will thus always set good example, in peace
as well as in war. Instructed, disciplined, and
ready to undertake and support everything for
the welfare of the country, it viii be for the
line, out of which it comes, Just object of
emulation, and will contribute with it to pre-
serve intact that old reputation of our immortal
phalanxes, which have only succumbed from
the excess of their glory and their triumphs."
Soon after the review was over, the Empress
accompanied by the Marshsls, left for Paris, and
reached here early in the evening, and proceed.
ed Immediately to St. Cloud. The Emperor
returned Saturday evening.
Report says that the Court is going to Com
piegne, for stag.hent, where preparations are
being made for that event.
The financial news from the United States is
producing q regular stampede among the
Americans here. Many have already sailed
for home, to see after their affairs, others have
given up their sumptuous apartments, to pa
tiently await the result of that awful crash in
retirement. The Fsench papers are full of the
frightful disasters of the Central Americs; and
their comments on American recklessness in
business and human life at sea are deservedly
severe, it must be acknowledged
The trite old saying, cit runs in the blood"
Is certainly not without good foundation a
case was recently made known, giving the best
proof of it. The descendants of the ancient
races of mobiles have not yet lost the preiudices
of their ancestors against labor Highway
robberies, under the more noble appeation of
warfare, was always considered by them q much
more honorable way of making a living than
that of tillipg the soil, or by trade. To this day,
military exploits are considered by them the
only worthy occupation for gentlemen; and
nearly al officers OF the armies Of Europe are
sons of noblemen. An Austrian Count, who
doubtless thought himself still in the middle of
the dark ages, took it into his head to revive
the profession of his greatgrand-paren}s,a and
in company with some of his followers, who
hoped to obtain the spurs under his con mand,
waylaid a coach near Verona, and com pletey
robbed it. No one would have dared to suspect
80 noble Count, with genealogical sree as
high as the finest specimens of our virgin for
ests, but for the misfortune to forget his man
tie in the hurry of departure, after the opera
ton. The police seized the noble robbyr, with
the valiant knights and pages his acconpices,
and put them into the dungeon of an ancient
castle, to await trial of modern times, which
will, doubt not, bring them to the gallows.
