IMPRESSION PRODUCED BY THE EMpERoR's LETTER,
Public opinion, which has all along been SO
averse to war, is anything but satisfied at the EN-
peror's message. 1t is thought to be of a very
ambiguous character. And the long and the short
of the matter is, the H. NJ. will not let favorable
opportunity so by to carry out his darling object
the extension of the French territory. The eonse-
quence has been that the state of the Bourse,
which was very bad previously TO the communi-
cation of the Emperor, is now worse than ever.
GARIB4LDI AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
Everything depends upon the success or failure
Of the attack of the Italians upon Venice. In a
few hours perhaps, when the war between Austria
and Prussia has broken out either in saxony or in
Silesia, Italy as one man will fall upon the quad
rilateral, behind which Venice is signing in chains
under Austrian yoke.
Garibaldi has already left Caprera, and latest
accounts inform US that he has arrived at Como,
where he has been received with enthusiasm by
the population. We shall no doubt hear much Of
the great Hberator and the red shirts.
THE THREE UAPIREs
In the coming tournament will be England, France
and Russia, each of which have their proteg6s,
and it is not unlikely that from umpires they may
be forced by circumstances to become combat
ants; as Russia would protect Austria, France,
Italy, and England, Prussia query.

REPORTED ABDICATIoN OF MAMMALIAN.
Ihave already informed you in former letter
that Napoleon III some time ago required of the
Emperor of Mexico to give him up the customs of
Vera Cruz and Tampico as guarantee for the
sums laid out by France; otherwise he would
abandon the young emperor TO his fate. Maxi
milan replied that in that case he should be
obliged to abdicate, and it was yesterday reported
that this threatened abdication had also taken
place. We must, however, wait for confirmation
of this report before we can believe it; it would
be indeed most fortunate could we withdraw from
this unfortunate expedition.
NEW METHOD OF CHANGING A MINISTRY.
All our attention is now concentrated on Ger

other countries. However, latest advices from
Spain inform us that new method of changing a
ministry was very nearly being applied in the
kingdom Of her Catholic majesty, as the totally

to the royal residence at Aranqaez were very

The last Lisbon papers inform US that few days
