NAPOLEoNs LETTER.-The Paris A0enir
of June 13, contains the following interpreta-
ton of the document read to the Corps Legis-
latif the other day:
The Emperor's letter explains and COM
pletes the speech at Auxerre. The clear and
precise impression lett by the reading of this
letter is that the war, commenced in Italy or
Germany, cannot fail to become general; that
the powers, to-day neutral, viii be drawn into
it willingly or unwillingly, and that France es-
pecially is called on to play an important part
in the matter. The Emperor is evidently con-
vinced OF that result, and it allowance is made
for the reserve imposed on him by his position
and the circumstances, it will be seen that he
says SO very clearly. AS regards Italy, the
Emperor's resolution stands out with such re-
markable precision as that the Austrian gov
eminent must certainly be struck with it,
Italy has right to assure her independence,
| and for her that is not only a right, but ne
cessity. In thus expressing himself, The EN-
| peror only renews his declarations and his en-
| gasements of 1859. The deliverance of Lom-
hardy was not then the only object OF the war
he made against Austria, and it was to all
Italians without distinction that he said in
| his proclamation from Milan: "Profit by the
| fortune which is offered to you. BE to-day
only soldiers; tomorrow you will be the free
citizens Of great country"
A DIPLOMATIC NoTE.-Mr. Motley thus re-
piled ON the 9th April, to Mr.. Stewards COM
plnint that he learned the Austrian news
| from Mr. Bigelow at Paris:
In reply I have to observe that Mr. Bigelow.
| in private note to me'of the same date as
his dispatch above cited, mentioned this re-
port of the 10000 Austrians ready to embark
| at Trieste for Mexico, but the story was SO
entirely at variance with everything well
| known to me here that attributed very little
Importance to it. In order to make assurance
more sure, however, took pains instantly to
| verify the facts in the most exact and anthem
tic manner. / learned accordingly, that in
stead eli there being 10000 Austrians at
Trieste, there was not one Austrian soldier
ready to embark at that port Or any other in
this empire. This intelligence from the most
| UNREASONABLE source, was transmitted by
| me in private note to Mr.. Bigelow. But l
confess that did not consider it worth while
to trouble you with a matter which seemed to
be mere newspaper gossip. felt that SO
long as [ was deemed worthy of my post you
would feel confident that should always fur
nish you with accurate intelligence as to inn
portant events occurring in Austria, and that
the concentration and embarkation for MeXi-
co of 10000 Austrians from Trieste, were facts
not likely to escape my notice.
