If any extraordinary significance is to be attached
to the change at London, we are as yet enabled to
read but two indications. The Emperor needs the
services OF Psrsigny at home, and Anglo French rea

of conducting negotiations. Hs will make fine

To those of our readers who may express surprise
at such arrangement, may explain that it s not
