At Last,

POstpOneu, gave rise TO the most alarming
Tumors as regards the imperial health. How
ever, it turns out that these different reports
were devoid of truth, and the journey to
Biarntz was postponed until after the drawing
mp of the Circular which has Just been sent to
our Ambassadors residing in foreign parts, by
Monsieur de Lavalette, Minister of Foreign
Affairs ad interim, until the arrival Of Mons.
de Moustier, detained at Constantinople by the
unsettled state OF affairs caused by the insurrec-
tion in Gambia.
"EverythIng for the Best.''
The circular OF the temporary Minister of
Foreign Affairs, though a long time coming, is
perfectly in accordance with the best hope
which this long-deferred document has raised
in the minds of all intelligent persons in Europe,
and the actual confirmation of such antcipa.
tions is in itself highly satisfactory. Monsieur
de Lavaette's circular is an acknowledgment of
the principle that everything is for the best.n
The Emperor had long announced that the
empire was peace, and, his policy fairly con-
sidered, has always been consistent with his pro-
LESSONS. His Majesty, through the mouth, or
rather the pen, of his temporary Minister of
Foreign Affairs tells us that the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of Prussia need not be any source of anxiety to
France, as the questions of one country ought
not to depend uron the slavery of another or
others. The Emperor of the French knows full
well that any attempt to cross the Rhine on the
part of France would be sure to raise against
him the German nation, with all its princes at
It's head as compact as France herself could be.
The Emperor has, much to the regret of many,
wisely submitted to the law of necessity: and
there is every reason to agree with the expe.
diency of his adhering to neutral policy,
and to the tender Of his good offices as a me-
diator.
There was nothing else to do after Sa.
dowa but to put a good countenance upon
losing game, and to make the best of most
untoward turn that the situation of Europe
could in so short lapse of time have taken.
There is one sentence in the circular of Mons.
de Layalette, touching upon the papal question.
which admits, perhaps, of ambiguous interpre-
tatlon, but is perfectly compatible with simpli-
city and ghtforwardness. France - writes
the Minister dd interim, 'has reioiced in the
Liberation OF Italy, but is apprehensive OF the
safety OF the Pope. By the convention of Sep
tember, which will be faithfully executed, the
Interests of the pontfcal throne VIII be securedn
Of course, this means the spiritual throne
the power of the Supreme Bishop of the Latin
Cnurch-tor, as to the temporal throne, un.
doubtedly, when it is left to the care of itself it
must be subjected to all temporal viscissitudes
and depend for its stability on the national will
OF the Roman people, and no longer on the pro-
lection of France alone. The circular has, all
In all, calmed the pubic anxiety and it is to be
hoped that confidence has returned.
The New Roman Legion,
which has been formed at Antilles, and which
been Sonfided to a French officer, has ar
rived at Clvits TTcShia, where il is undergoing
quarantine. telegram tells us that Monsiguor
di Hohenlohe had embarked from that portIo
the 10th, and that he is the bearer of an auto /
graph letter from the Pope 10 the Queen of |
England 1t is further reported that the new |
Pontifcal army recruited in Belgium and in |
FIance, will remain at Viterbo until the de- |
parture of the French soldiers, who have ex- |
pressed great repugnance at coming in con- |
tact oCih the neoo defenders Of The faith, who |
have not been picked from the elite of European |
society," 1t must, however be said, in justice |
TO the new legion, that their conduct whilst in |
Antilles left nothing 10 be desired.
A Rumbling In the East.
In the presence of the gigantic conflict of
which the East will shortly be the theatre
German, italian, and even Mexican questions
are thrown into the shade. Nevertheless, events
of some interest occurring in these quarters.
Great movements of Russian troops are taking
place IN Poland. An address, numerously
signed by the Russian party at Warsaw, is about |
TO be sent to the Emperor, begging him to annex |
definitely Poland to the Russian empire. This
step naturally plunges the Poles IN a state of |
stupefaction mingled with rage. The Christian |
subjects of the Porte are now taking most |
alarming attitude against the Sultan, and the |
secret assistance sent them by the Gear makes |
1t to be feared that their general rising is to be
looked for.
The Treaty Between Austria and Italy.
Negotiations continue between Austria and /
the Italian kingdom for the conclusion of peace |

communications exchanged between the two
Governments on this subject. The plenipoten.

side, the French Commissioner in Venetia is
preparing, in concert with the competent authori-
lies, the measures necessary for taking posses.
