communication from Rome, Of the l4th
Of June, in the Presse, says
Before two days hare passed over this city
will be deserted. All those who expect to
Ind place on board the steam packet are
fastening their departure <nd only about one
hundred bishops and few priests now remain
here. The Romans ask themselves how much
longer the present political state of things is
to continue. The Holy Father, say the bish-
ops, remains mistaken that is TO say, he re-
plies by non possHngs to all the propositions
made to him hence It follows that the French
ambassador has no longer anything to do at
Rome, as it is useless for, him to speak of ar
rangement and cenciliation."
Oar Berlin Correspondence.
BERLIN, June 1s, 1862.
The PT1.~sia,1 Press Adverse to 6ie Idea or In
teTrention IN Ameriea-Opiaiosl on Louis
NaPoteon's Var in Merico-GenerGL Butler
and the Dutch Consul in Ne10 OrLeans---Is

The Berlin press is unanimous in its disap-
probation of any attempt of France or Eng
land to interfere in the American difficulty
The Augemeine Zeitstng says that an offer Of
mediation proceeding from either of these
Powers would be sure to meet with decided
and notifying repulse, and that President
Lincoln would sooner enter into direct nego-
tiation with Richmond than to submit to for
eigh arbitrament.
The Paris correspondence of the semi-official
PTltSsiGn Gazette writes: "The conviction is
gaining ground here that England is Grtfsttly
edsavoring to inUotue France as deeply as posi-
be in Transatlantic affairs, while she keeps in
the background herself. The declaration of
Lord Palmerston that for the present the
British government does not think of an in
tervention, and the simultaneous insinuations
of the English journals that France had bet
ter undertake the mediation on her own hook,
afford sufficient commentary to this policy.
AS in this case mediation could only signify
the separation of the South from the North,
the odium of such proposal appears so great
to both governments that each is anxious to
foist the responsibility on the other
1t is to be regretted that the Federal COM
manders, carried away by an excitement and
martial ardor easily accounted for, should
have committed excesses-such as the military
occupation of the Dutch consulate at New
Orleans and the sequestrstion of the property
found in (which may be made the subject
of diplomatic remonstrance.
The unexpected obstacles encountered in
Mexico will probably serve to deter Louis
Napoleon from premature action in other
quarters. If such people as the Mexiesns,
whose whole country was overrun and their
capital occupied by small army of Anglo
Americans, are giving so much trouble to the
first military nation in the universe" and
have been able to inflict considerable drub-
bling on the said nation, it would be the hight
of imprudence to enter on a course that would
ultimately lead to hostilities with the Anglo
Americans themselves. But the conduct of
the French Emperc. is becoming more and
more unintelligible and the political tact and
answering resolution that raised him to the
commanding position he has enjoyed for the
last seven or eight years seem to be gradually
deserving him. At Magenta and Solferino his
star had reached its zenith; but the vacillation
and sort of fixed purpose he has displayed
since then--his see-sAw policy IN Italy, his
bootless expedition to Syria, the failure of his
financial experiments, and now his Mexican
adventure, into which he has evidently been
nvegled by Lord Palmerston, who is now
laughing in his sleeve at the discontinue Of
his magnanimous ally"-all this has serious
ly damaged his prestige, and impaired his rep
utation both for ability and success. 1t il
stated by persons who have seen him lately in
Paris that his health is giving way-that, in
fact he is rapidly breaking up, physically and
mentally, which would accoant for the def.
cheney in energy and conference he has recent
ly exhibited, and which forms so striking 8
contrast to his former character.

A Moscow journal states that great emf
