by its Journals official and not Official is very much

more business in two hours face to face talk with
Prince Wilhelm, than Schleinitz and Thouyenel
can arrive at in indefinite periods OF diplomatic cor

political takers whose only vivacious quality Is
lively faith without works. in their own pene-
trang visions and the diaphaneity Of milstones, tell

by summary or quotation of their written
and spoken articles provoke in your readers
the pandiculations which are their man result.
Enough to say for the present, that the general
opinion here is that the immediate purpose OF Ma

calm the apprehension, so prevalenty entertained
In Germany especially and in Europe generally, as

He will probably succeed. He does not wish q
war for "a year or two or more, to come. No
country in the world is In better condition to profit
by few years of coafdenoe IA peace than France
That with or in despite OF all this the drift of
France is to the Rhine, Is clear enough. ThIther
one day it must 90. 1t is not q matter of Napole
enic calculation but of French national faith in its
"destiny."
The report (aifirmed and denied like most of our
news from Sicily, twice in every twenty hours
for several days., that of the forts Of Palermo
was held by the English Admiral with Garibadi's
consent, has made great stir of words and feelings
here for the past ten days. 1t was of a nature to
powerfully excite the French jealousy of England,
which was zealously exploited by the ClericOs and
Legimists and if not provoked certainly not soothed
by most of the Orleanists Had the report proved
true, without remarkably complete and distinct
declaration by England that the occupation was
only and definitely temporary, 1t would have cooled
down to the warm sympathy generally felt
here for Garibadi and his cause
The Neapolitan Minister at Rome, San MARITIME,
left that capital few days ago for Paris and Lon
don, charged OF course with an important mission
by Bomba III. What it definitely is, no one of the
public knows; but Lord PalmerstOn has already
openly stated in Parliament that to this envoy shall
be plainly expressed all the horror excited III En-
gland BY the atrocities Of the bOmbardment of Pa
Isrmo Nor is it likely that San Martno's reception
ut FOntainebleau viii be any more warm shOuldered
than at st. James's, if we to take the tone of
the French ofhcious press an index.
1t is said ON no satisfactory autnOrIuy, nVuo,--,
That Bomba who is thoroughly scared, and alb
jecty humble since his alter ego has capitulated to
'His Excelency Gen. Garibald (ex-pirate, late out
law &c. has proposed to Napoleon to give his loving
subjects q Constitution modelled on that of France,
with unirersaL suffrage, &c. / doubt. For the
rest, there is no appearance, as yet that England
and FrsI ce will not set together, should the settle
ment of Neapoltan affairs depend on diplomatic ne
g0tiatons.
Meantime, supplies of men, money, and ammu-
milton, are flowing toward Garibaldi from all quar-
teIs Of Europe. Subscriptions are going on IN
Stockholm and in Athens. The General, in one of
his late letters to Bertani his alter ego in Piedmont
asking for recruits says that his troops have been
decimated by their late hard fighting. The NeapoE-
tan soldiers have an admirable superstition about
him They say that he has been yaccinated with
the Holy Sacrament, and rides safely amid balls
and bombs When he dismissed his prisoners after
the capitulation of LAMA he said to them, " Aa
geroir at Naples :" The appearances of his being
there suddenly are, however, less promising, per-
haps, this week than they were last. Although L
am not your reporter for the Scilian insurrecton,
let me pleasure your readers by telling them that
the brave NinO Bixio Garibaldi's right hand
in battle who was killed and buried, without the
sl htest benefit of clergy, in all the official Neapoli
tan reports, aud in all the French clerical newspa
pers is very well, and frisky, in fact. Young Ma
min, unhappiy, has been wounded again-the last
time severely-not dangerously, however, it is
hoped.
The great national agricultural fair is now in SEES
sion in and about the Paais de rIndustrie ON the
Champs Eysees. In number of animals and ma.
chimes of the useful, productive sort, it is larger,
and in many respects Of quality as well, finer ex
hibion than the international fair of 1856. 1t twill
not be open to the public until Sunday; the jury
taking four undistufbed days for the duly careful
examination Of the equine, bovine porcine, ovine,
and assinne candidates for prizes
Speaking of animals l went over to the Jardin
dts PLantes the other day to the little hppopOt
anus that was born there three or four weeks ago.
1t was already dead; died a-teething, quite human
like. This is the third unsuccessful pursuit of life
under difficulties by FrenchbOn hppopOtamus.
When the last preceding was bit to death by its
dam last year, we were told in its obituary notice
that science had at least been able to settle
point in natural history to w.t. that the period Of
hppopotamus CESSATION was about fourteen months.
