There must sill be great deal Of filth In 4
tn minds of European Monarchs in the de-
votti attachment Of their subjects, when they !
continue 10 act upon the belief that the mere
sight q their PERSONS Is sufficicnt to COM ]
pcpsatc lhc ruled for great sacrifices Of life, |
limb and property imposed upon them by
the viii OF The rulers. This Kind Of princely
fa1th, arising from conviction Of "by the
grace OF God " existence, seems to be sti1l
possessed at leaat by the Emperor Of AUS
tTiR and the King Of BavarfA, Of whom the 4
former bus been and the latter Is still en-
Gagged In paying flying yisits to those parts
Of their respective dominiors, that we're vis-
lied BY the acourge OF war last summer, and
to compensate the Inhabitants for their hard
sunerings by the glorious privilege OF BE-
holding their sovercigns withthelr own loyal
eyes, aud to be commlscratcd with by their
condescendtng Imperial aud royal majesties-
The Emperor Francis Joseph left Vienna
shortly after the e1chnnEc Of the ratldca-
tlons Of the treaty Of peace with Italy for q
tour through the provinces Of Moyaria,
Eastern and Northern Bohemia, and part OF
Neither Austria, upon which he WAS absent
not quite month. The greatest pains were
everywhere taken by the local authorities to
possible reception; and, though at some
Points, AZ at Prague, they were not able to
carry ont their intentions, owing to the
want Of popular support aud enthusiasm,
the people Of town and country along the
Imperial route, flrlhe1ed their efforts very
heartily. There can be no doubt but that,
generally speaking, the welcome extended
to the Emperor upon his Journey was one he
could be well gra1ilel with. This is
true eycu of tue districts. the population
Of which had suffered most severely from
the Pruss'an Invasion. Nor is the hearty
popular greeting to Frnncis Joseph IN the
| visited provinces to be wondered At. As l
know, thruush my personal observations
last August, in the very regions that he ira
rerfed, his subjects in these parts the En-.
Plre do not consider bin responsible for the
Intense misery they had to undergo during
the months Of June, July, August and Sep
tember, They firmly believe that the war
was contrary 10 his expectations and wishes.
| and forced upon him, notwithstanding bis
sincere efforts for peace, By rrusssan over
bearing and aEgresslon. And they are more
over persuaded that the crushing defeat ct
pcror, but to the want Of capacity an1 mis-
management Of hie Generals and Ministers.
Hence they locked upon him Is q victim Of
unt0ward circumstances and misplaced con-
Gdcnce, and were disposed to treat him as
] their: sympathy for him.
i Louis 1, the youthful rnlcr Of Bavaria, has
aa much fetson Us the Emperor OF Austria to
be satisfied with the manner in which the In
! hahltants Of Gpper> Lower and Middle Fran
coniA have received him during the last ten
days. Last June and July, ut the height Of
| the var crisis, he had taken SO little part in
| the affairs Of State aud devoted himself so
entirely to triftpE. fsivolous p1stfmea to the
great dctrilnent Of all public Interests, that

days the most unpopular man In all his realm.

blind devotion to royalty he WAS denounced
at the time publicly and privately without
stint for his indifference to the public veal.
