Correspondence of the New Orleans Crescent
PARIS, August 81, 1866,
The Journals are fIedup with the treaties 9
peace between Prussia and Austria, Wurtemburl
and Bavaria; but as you will receive the texts b.
the ordinary channel, make no comment upol
them. must, however, say that these peac
treaties smell of powder, and they have give
rise to a great deal of discussion at Paris, t
know whether we will or not have, or, at least
ask for the Rhenish frontiers,
Mons. Emile de Girardin, who wishes to re
assure those people who see a war betwee
France and Austria looming up on the horizon
does no less than claim the spontaneous
DIsARaIlNG OF FRANCE;
But think that such step is quite out of the in
tentions of the Tuileries cabinet. On the con
trary, the pet idea of the war minister seems to b
the wholesale manufacture of the
CHAssEpoT RIFLE,
The greatest rival of the needle-gun, and it il
affirmed that in two months time the whole army
will be supplied with this wonderful instrument o.
war. Notwithstanding, if France is destined tt
play the countercheck with Prussia, it is not in the
destructive merits of the needle-gun that she will
find her most powerful proof; it is in the spirit Of
Germany herself-of Germany that is growing
more and more hostile every day to William l.
that France will find staunch supporter, IS she
enters the lists against Prussia.
WILLIAM I. IS UNPOPULAR
All over Germany. In Hanover, Hesse, Nassau
saxony, Frankfort schleswig Holste11, the new
order Of things that he has brought about is pro-
tested against warmly.
MONSTER MEET, SGs,
In the English style, are held, for the purpose Of
making demonstrations, and addresses are drawn
up, signed by the most respectable citizens, show
ing great spirit Of resistance. Of course it is
not in NJ. Bismarck's nature to give up the ground
he has won. There is no fear Of that, and it
should surprise no one if in a few months time,
the whole German continent were in state q
ehulliton.
THE ITALIAN AMNESTY
Just signed by Victor Emmanuel, has given MAJ
zini an opportunity of openly entering the coun-
fry, from which he has been so long excluded
He has put himself up for the elections, and will
no doubt have majority, but his prestige will
soon decline, for aslong as he is not prosecuted
and has nobody to snarl at him, he is like fish
BUT of water.
TENETIA
Is going to be handed overly the Austrian author
ties to a French commissioner, who will make it
lver to Victor Emmanuel from the emperor; and
hus, it appears, the universal suffrage scheme is
abandoned. Let us hope that everything will be
settled peaeeaby at least iu that quarter, for on
,ther sides there is much agitation under the
current, and general peace seems to be retreat
ng from the view.
THE BRITONs ARE STILL A-FooT
Ind do not seem likely to tranquilize themselves
ntil the" end is obtained. The last address that
hey sent the sultan is a document remarkable for
) promises and energy, and you can see in it the
expressions of men who know clearly what they
ave to do, and the chances of success that they
re likely to meet
"A few days ago the Marshal Regnault st. Jean
iAngely was charged by the emperor to present
be eagles to the new regiments of cuirasseurs and
fes of the guard at Fontai1bleau, On this Or.
aston he delivered avery stirring speech, in which
9 mentioned their ancient glories, reminded them
the deeds Of their regiment in the battles of
laringo, Austerlitz, jena, Friedland, Wagram and
IoskWa, and exhorted them always to know how
fall like their ancestors for the defense Of their
orrtry. The speech has been commented on by
be press as being far from pacific; but as far as
lat go =, there is not much in it, beyond the or
