MORE COMMENTS ON NAPoLEoN's SPEECH.
Paris Correspondence (May 1S) London Times.
There have been different accounts o.
the Enperor's short speech in reply tc
the Mayor of Auxerre, on Sunday last
which, as it appeared in the Moniteur,
made such an impression in Paris and
throughout the country. The true yer.
sion is this: The passage about the ''de-
testation of the treaties" was added on
his return to the Tuilleries; and that
about his breathing at ease" among the
working populations of the country and
Of the towns, and discerning in them the
i Ttrue genius of France" was spoken on
the spot. That these words were occa-
stoned by displeasure at the applause
bestowed on n. Theirs now famous
speech was at once perceived by all who
read them, and, indeed, is not denied by
i the Government papers. As for the
Deputies, they were 90 conscious of the
ofense they had, perhaps, impulsively
committed, that decree for dissolYing
the Chamber would not, perhaps, have
greatly surprised them. Indeed, there
were few among them who anticipated
stiH harsher measures. Two or three
evenings ago, an officer of rank attached
to the Imperial Court and an Opposition
member of the legislative body met in
certain salon in Paris. The Deputy, en-
inent for years as an orator, a politician,
and passionate lover of liberty, was a
Representative of the people in the time
of the Republic, member of the Cham
Der of Deputies under Lous Philippe,
and was one of those arrested in the
marie of the 10th arondissment during
the coup P etat, and lodged in the cavalry
barracks in the Quai P0rsay. The Off
Ger, then Colonel, now a General, was
the same under whose care the captive
Deputies passed the night before being
transferred to Mazas. General" said
the Deputy, "I apprehended that shall
soon be in position, to seek once more
your hospitality, and hope you viii not
refuse it me-" The other bowed, not
clearly understanding what was meant.
and replied that he should be happy to
do what was agreeable to him. ayes.
but hope we shall meet with better
treatment this time, particularly in the
mode of conveyance to Mazas, than on
the I'd of December" "You don't seri-
otisly believe, N, that any of the
sort is contemplated The very suspicion
is absurd" "WeIl, 1 don't know; things
as unlikely, and even more unlikely,
come to pass. But, seriously, if you get
orders to arrest US, should you hesitate to
obey? swell, if get orders, of course,
as soldier, am bound to obey; but,
believe me, no thought of the kind has
ever entered the Emperor's head" The
conversation, half jest and half earnest,
dropped, but do not affirm that the
civilian was quite convinced by the as
surances of his military friend.
1t eppears that the Emperor speaks
freely with some of his military house
hold on the present state of affairs He
expresses his belief that war is all but in
eYitable. France is neutral, of course
but it shall go hard with her if she does
not reap some advantage from it-some-
thing to compensate her for her su&eIings
in other times. "Liberty of action" is
the concluding part of NJ Rouher's pro-
gramme of the policy of France, and it is
probably the only part which is meant to-
be serious. -tt.'ii y ..--

The direct appeal in the interests of
peace which this Court intended to make !
to the Emperor of Austria few days ago, |
has been really forwarded. It has, how
ever, led to no result. In consequence |
of this fresh disappointment the Land |
whr, exclusive of the L8ndWhr Reserve, |
has been called to arms. This adds an
other rs, 900 men to the Prussian army, |
which in the course of fortnight will |
thus have been raised to the enormous |
total of 100000 men. Orders have been
also issued to subject to medical inspec-
ton all young men born since 1888, and |
passed oyer for some reason or other in
former conscriptions. A hundred thous-
and men can be easily levied among this
numerous class.
The Prussian army expect glorious
campaign. Belonging to the most war
like and mettlesome Of the German tribes, |
as they do, the men are apt to look upon |
the foreign ingredient in the Austrian |
force as one inferior to their own nation
ality. They also rely with implicit conf
dence upon the merits of q needle gun,
which they conceive beats all things hol-
low. They viii have to deal almost ex-
clusively with foreigners, the greater part
of the German troops of the Kaiser hav-
ing been dispatched to Italy. The forces
concentrated in Bohemia chiefly consist |
of Poles, Czechians, Magyars, and Ital-
ians. The Guns, however, which Kaiser
will not intrust to the hands of any 9TH
er among the various nationalities under
his scepter, are worked by Germans in
Bohemia as well as in Italy.

Florence Correspondence London Times, May 1s. |
Although the public feelinp here is one
of extreme impatience to begin the ex-
pected struggle, the authorities are well
pleased at the breathing time allowed /
them by German delays. A large force is
up to the front, but good deal still re-
mains to be done, and we shall be better
prepared for war in a fortnight than we
are now. The is deficiency of horses;
it is said that 10000 are required. The
Italian army when complete-that is to
say, with all its reserves called out-may |
be estimated at 10000 men. Of these
about 100000 are belieYed to be now in
the field, not massed close along the
frontier, but SO distributed as to be i'm
mediately available should hostilities |
commence.
The conscription of this year very fully
stated at 90, 1000 men, as yet only partially |
mustered and not at all drilled; the sec
-ond catagories of l842 and lS4S, which
have never had any drill, and on that
account, as mere raw recruits. have not
been called out on the present occasion,
are probably 10000 men. Adding these
10000 to the 100000 now in the field,
there remain 100000. From these the
usual deductions must be made for hos
nitals. depots. orderly rooms. commissa-L
