LOUIS NATURALIZATION EMNANCEL.
The London News OF June lst says -
Louis Napoleon we know Is dark and diff
cult to fathom, inscriptions and apparently
without conscience, bat patient, cautious,
diligent 10 detail, long-headed, slow to act,
but eminently energetic and unshrinkiDg,
when the time OF action comes, and resolved
to 90 through with the work be undertakes.
1t has Of late become known in certain cir
Giles that in the Russian war he distinctly
proposed to the English Ministry to restore
Poland as barrier against Russia. The
advice was rejected.
At the side of Louis Napoleon stands vic.
tor Emmanuel, having all the qualities which
the other has not. Frank and opeDhearted,
generous and winning, born TO conciliate

might easily have re-established despotic
rule, as did nearly all the other princes.
Scarcely in Prussia could any real constitu.
tionalism be maintained. The Austrian
forces occupied even Hamburg. But Vic.
tor Emmanuel Ainched not for an hour, and
he reaps the harvest in his peoples love and

for the deliverance OF Italy, and is thorough.

Of the United States are unmstakably with

Louis Napoleon is probably that OF nineteen
out OF twenty Englishmen ; but when We

THE FRENCH RIFLED CANNON.
Detailed information, which has been re.
ceiyed from the seat OF war, relative 10 the
slight artillery action near Valenza, in which
the rliled Founders were first brought in
to action, has afforded great satisfaction to
military men, and has quoted many appre-
tensions ny demonstrating the practical
utility and immense superiority OF the new
arm. The telegram was confirmed that the
range was over $500 metres 1864 yards,
upwards Of mile and halt. The accura.
cy of fire was no less surprising than the
range, and the destructive effect was still
more marvellous. After five rounds the,
notifications OF the Austrians were reduced
to ruios. 1t is believed that these effects
were due mainly 10 the long range, and that
at short distances the fire would have been
far less destructive. as the shot would have
made clean hole. The French authorities
have represented to an officer of u foreign
army, that they have 200 Of these rifed
cannon in Piedmont and here an artillery
officer said they had twenty batteries, or 100
guns. There Is good reason, however TO be
eve that both statements are exaggerated.
Still it is believed that in rifed guns France

who is said to have none with her armies,
and only few, after the Swedish system,
