You will bear in mind doubted the truth Of the report
that industrousy circulated here by the official
press regards the visit to be made by the King of
Prussia to the Emperor Napoleon At the last moment,
and after had been announced that preparations
going at the camp Calos for the reception OF
his Prusslan Majesty the Moacr publishes short note
saying he viii not come, but that in October lie will nee,
the Emperor at Srasbourg This may may not TIC
strictly true One thing is cerainthe greatest rrlta
ton Is fell here at This abofve attempt bring about
roya and imperial meeting. The influence of England
has caused il to fail and France will pay of the debt
way
The relations between France and Italy are worse
even than at the date Of my last letter You will
remember said they almost inimicaL The
King of Italy will not, he solicited by THIS
Court TO- do, Ricaso resign. Hence it is fear
cd by the friends OF Italy that all further enmty
Part of Austria towards Italy will be unchecked by
France. AUSTRIA however, II is consolation 10 the tia
lns TO know, has enough bad business Of her on
hand to make hcr et1he Italians alone time TO
ceme. The struggle between this government and the
clergy still continues, and reports far from satisfactory
are circulating. Altogether this is trying time for the
Emperor who IL still unwell, and looks quite as jaded as
before he went to Vichy.

press here, in publishing that Goyon and Mcroe

and the Minister Of War here and asserts that the
incident referred to most samelly exaggerated and
distorted, and the upshot is that, said my last
letter, the Emperor will not withdraw his troops from
Rome. He viii more likely quarrel with Victor Emanuel
and favor that cruel beast Francis IT,. who sends

He remains but a week. To-day grand review Of the
garrison OF Paris will be held in the Champs TO Mars in
his honor. The Empress strange to left Paris the
