" The address Of Napoleon to the Inhabitants

ciafing the position Of that empire during the
contihuance Of the war, are the most impor-
iAnt items II news this week. The French
Emperor asserts that he enters this war not for
lis wi personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but for the
liberation Of Italy. He likewise addresses the
Germans in language tending to qnell their
excited feelings under the circumstances, grow
ing out Of the present aspect Of hostilities
around them.
Thes Russian circular Is couchedi in language
alike soothing to Germany. condsm is the
ooarss Of Austria and approves that Of France
and 90 lohg.as Germany remains nncommit,ed
