PARIS, June %, 1860.
Whatever be the difference Of opinion as to the
master he is serving we must all admit that Louis
Napoleon is a" not slOthful in business" Surprising
that he keeps Journal as Louis vi. did, how
different the records Of the present working Head
of the State and of the gentleman monarch who
took the trouble to be born to royalty Here Is an

" tainebleau." A good deal OF work for
FIVE days. just now we are most Interested In
that part oft done at Baden Napoleon wanted
TO meet the Prince Regent OF Prussia alone
there. Other German Soveregns, getting alarmed
and jealous, wanted to be present, much to the
gatifcation of Regent and Emperor, who were
more than happy to have them there. They very
stupidity contributed to the preponderance OF the
Prince Regent, about whom they appeared like
attendant satellites, and paid an iI-caculated
homage to the controlling power of the very man of
whose controlling power III German affairs they are
aft aid. If ever there was a lucky man, Louis
MAJ OltOn ia one. He was planning TO mees only
the Prince Regent, and here come four Kings, two
more OF less serene Grand Dukes, and two more or
less transparent little Dukes persistent to throw
themselves in like so many burned Almonds gratis,
into the heaped measure Of his honor. AS reads
the names of these representatives of the oldest
iamiles-the very F. +. VS. of feudaity crowding
about tie great paryenu, the doubtful nephew OF
another payenu, the newspaper record recalls
MolOny's account Of the ball:
"This Gineral great then tuck his safe,
With all the other gineras-
And as he then, with princely air,
ReeloiLi on his cushion was,
All rouno about bis royal chair,
The squeezin and the pushin was.
During NapOleOns brief stay at Baden Baden,
there were congressional dinners and tea parties,
ard exchange OF social COurteses between him and
the individual members Of the improvised Congress,
but 10 formal meeting for the transaction of bust
ness. He spoke little at tabe or otherWhere All
that We know is that he gave to the Prince Regent
and the rest general assurances OF his friendly aud
eminenty pacific feelings. He went to Baden to
quiet, first, German imagnations respecting an
immediate practical application on the Rhine of
ideal warfare, and the doctrine OF natural from
tiers-said imagmations having been of late greatly
excited thereanent by the Savoy annexation and by
tie alarming tone OF French journals and pamphlets
when treating OF natural boundaries and Viennese
treaties; secondly, to quiet Europe in general and
French industrial and commercial folk 10 particular
their s0lcitOus appre sensve unrest respecting the
possibilities aud probabilities of war. For the
present Napoleon wants two things: peace, really
and honestly now, in the interest OF the Inauguration
and fruitful development Of his own fay orite p0ticO
&c, nomica system of French commerce, manutac-
lures and agrculture the reputation of being peace
fully minded as sort Of base so 10 speak, OF future
operations, military and political. That was his
double object in going to baden. He has partially
attained it. should say that ON the whole, public
opu ion here, notwithstanding curious and frequent
variations and an underlying persistent doubt tends
tow ard hopeful pacific Interpretation Of the sgnif-
canoe Of the Baden Conference. For TIE rest,
speak OF it purely from the French point of view.
Closely connected with the Conference-by book
sellers and authors calculation, and by chronology
cal accident, and by the morbidy imaginative and
jealous English journalists rather than byNny pro-
found essential ues-is new pamphlet by Edmond
About, entitled, La Prusse 1860. The tone of
the brochure il, throughout, friendly to Prussia.
The drift and gist Of it is: Let Prussia take the
leadership Of German affairs, make nation of Ger
many with herself ut the head of it; 10 succeed in
this, she must model her own political institutions
on those of France (Which Mr. A. goes quite out of
his way TO represent as radically and fundamentally
liberal), and il then little coup d'ttat pressure
be needful, why let it be applied The pamphlet
closes with remark to the effect that Napoleon
may, under circumstances, be called TO render her
IP,ussia) great services provided she encourages
him little (pourru qu'sAe s'y prete us pea)--as
though l.. n. Il. were bashul like | have
already expressed my opinion that English and Ger
