Our files by the Ocean Queen, contain, however
some interesting extracts.
The London Chronicle of the 3lst of August says
of the Great Eastern:
This magnificent ship, the largest in the world,
was yesterday officially entered ''outwards' at the
Custom House, by the commander, Captain Harri-
son, her destination being named Neao York. Few
policies of insurance have been taken out on the
Great Eastern at Lloyd's, the underwriters being
generally unwilling to transact any business until
the completion of the trial trip. Almost the only
assigned for this is the possibility of
the vessel not getting safely out of the Thames

The London Times says:

Mehemet Ali Pacha, who has arrived at Constar-
tinople from Marsees, after having visited the
principal cities of Europe proposes to open his

remarkable act of innovation on the part of high
Ottoman functionary.
Letters from Marseilles state that a very general
feeling of discomfort prevails amongst the mer-
chants of Sweden, Denmark, Holland, and espe-
cially of the United States, at the extraordinary
efforts which are being made by the British gov
eminent to enlist the sailors of those nations. Eng
fish agents are oferirg no less than GS bounty and
"a SIS. per month for men.
The Nord off Brussels states that opinion exists
among the best informed persons at Turin that King
Victor Emanuel will accept the principle of the
sovereignty of the Italian Duchies when it shall be
offered officially. tits not believed that the question
of the Duchies will be discussed or regulated at
Zurich in its present state. If the restoration OF
their sovereigns had been accepted by the people,
the arrangement of the differences existing between
the Dukes and their subjects might be submitted to
the Conference inasmuch as in that case the ques-
ton would not affect the international law of Eu-
rope, but the moment the violation of treaties is the
matter to be considered an European Congress
of a European Congress is making progress, and
that M. de Baabine has communicated a note to
the Austrian Government, in which the Emperor of
Russia insists strongly on the necessity of assem-
bling Congress.
The Russian government (says a Warsaw letter)
has given orders to demobiize the first three corps
d'ormee placed under the orders of Prince Gorts-
chakoff.
THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY.
NAPoLEoN's POLICY TOWARDS THE PEoPLE-sPEECH OF
M. de Morny, President of the Corps Legislatif
of France, and Chairman of the Council General of
the Department of Puy de Dome, has delivered a
speech to that body which, in the absence of other
indications of the intentions of the government has
created great interest:
He said-You have participated, gentlemen, in
the enthusiasm excited by our victories-vou have
shared in the unanimous gratitude of France for
the great moderation of the Emperor. But you
lind it difficult to understand how his Majestys evil
dent desire to prevent European confagration
can have caused in England the newspaper articles
the parliamentary speeches, and the warlike pre-
parations, of which much has been said. You
know, without doubt, by means of what logic the
English explain their apprehensions. They say,
"Our press is free-the French press is not so
therefore, insults have not the Importance in
one as in the other" That is quite an error. There
is in France no means of preventing journal from
publishing what seems to it right-the government
is only armed against the press with the power of
warning and of suspension, which are repressive
tans at the bottom of his heart the desire to avenge
Waterloo and St. Helena. He only concluded
peace with the Emperor of Russia in order to make
him an ally; he has been generous to the Emperor
of Austria only to make friend of him
also, and with that double alliance he intends to
attack England" | do not think it inoppor tune
to tell you what think the subject. We live at
period when the hatreds of castles and families
have succumbed from the increased mildness of
manners, and at which national hatred and preju-
dice have be9n effaced by civilization The new
generation have something else to do than avenge
the past; they are too enlightened to act on any
other motive than the interest of the present and
the future. The Emperor and the present genera
ton of Frenchmen not of those of whom it can
be said, "They have learned nothing and forgotten
nothing" As for the generous proceedings between
the three Emperors, to ascribe them to the specua-
tive object indicated above, is it not to reduce to
the proportions of paltry theatrical intrigue the
regulation of the great interests of Europe, and
degrade the elevated sentiments which God has
placed in the heart of sovereign for the welfare
of humanity? Assuredly, l am better able than any
other to appreciate the loyal fidelity of the Empe-
ror and his pacific intentions; for when he did me
the honor to send me to Russia to draw closer the
relations between the two empires, the part of
my instructions which dominated every other was
this: "Do not allow any encroachment to be made
on the English alliance; and, far from endeavoring
to divide the great Powers, on the contrary, point
out that if they had the good to unite and to
come to an understanding, all the patry difficulties
which arise in Europe may be solved peaceabIy."
Need | recall to your memory the incidents which
preceded the war with Austria, in order to prove
that the Emperor Napoleon whilst desiring to free
Italy, and to dsengage the frontier of France from
Austrian pressure, would have preferred attaining
that object by Congress rather than by war?
The number and the state of our army at the
ment when the ultimatum of Austria was issued
prove this. And if the statesmen of England who
now consider that enough has not been done for the
Italians, had consented before the war to express
the sympathies which they now manifest, it is to
be presumed that the affairs of Italy would have
been regulated by diplomacy. l repeat that after
ali the Emperor has done and said, to suspect him
of preparing in the dark, without any other motive
than ancient enmity, enterprise which would
throw into confusion the gravest interests in the
world, and would be the most fatal blow to civil
cation, is to doubt his word as sovereign and
man.
After q good-natured suggestion that perhaps
