PARIS, September l, 1866.
HAS Napoleon III been Duped byBismarkt
II is the general belief that such Is the fact.
Notwithstanding the promises said to have been
made at Biarritz, France will, after all, remain
as II was before the war; and as a reward for
quietly looking on and allowing Prussia to pilfer
right and left, Napoleon III will get nothing.
Thus the Emperor has been duped and deceived
by one who has taken a few leaves out of the
Imperial cookery-book, and the farce of "the
bitter bit" has been played over again to the cost
of the sphynx of the Tuileries
The enemies OF the present dynasty are now
triumphant and rub their hands with delight at
seeing the Emperor caught in his own trap, as
they say nothing would please the Legitimists,
the Orleanlsts, and the extreme Left better, than
70 see him take up arms to force the Cabinet of
Berlin TO give him mp the Rhenish frontier.
Even the Prussian press, which can have no
reason TO complain of the attitude of the Empe-
rOr durlng the late war, every day launches out
In most violent manner against France and
her institutions. Every insult is heaped upon
the Emperor. Several of the extreme German
papers talk very seriously of taking back Lor-
raine and Alsatia, which they say are German
property.
However, some allowance must be made for a
people intoxicated with such great military
successes. The troubles of Bismark are like those
OF a young bear, they are yet to come: though
he has had it all his own way on the battlefield,
he will not find it such plain sailing at home.
Herr Jacoby, who is the leader of the opposition
m the Hammer, has already given US the pre-
face of what the Premier has to expect to hear
from those who are not lost in admiration at his
picking ana stealing qualities. Bismark has
now two enemies to face--tne Liberal and the
Federal party. He will be clever man if he
succeeds in steering his vessel so as to keep
clear of both.
The King OF Prussia and the Hammer.
King William has had a quiet talk with the
deputies of the Hammer. He mas told them that
his conduct hitherto has been unconstitutional
and irregular, but that circumstances Obliged
him to act as he did, and that he should not act
again in such manner until next time. The
deputies, like good boys, listened without giving
any sign of displ leasure. This, therefore, leads
us to believe that there will be no conflict for
the present between King William aud his most
obedient servants. They, like Napoleon III, are
contenI to b;Ge their time.
Austria and Italy Shake Hands.
Bismark need be under no apprehension Us
Czar has no intention of troubling him at pre-
sent; but there is a little circumstance which is
calculated to make him rather tidgety, and that
is that Austria and Italy seem very much in
fliDed to make aVp entirely; and the cunning
Premier must. it he DC ret blind, see that the
agents OF the Tueries at Vienna and Florence
are busily engaged in trying to establish good
fellowship between the Houses of Hapsburg
and Savoy. Napoleon, outWItted by Prussia, is
evidently trying to win over Austria, which is
now no longer German, and Italy, which has no
cause to be very well satisfied with the conduct
of her Prussian ally to her.
A new game is about to be played on the Ger
man chess board which will afford much interest
TO the lookers-on.
The Emperor has been very active in bring.
ing about peace between Austria and Italy, on
terms most favorable to the latter country,
which enters into possession OF the whole OF
Veneta, the Quadrilsteral, and the Lago di
Garda, without having to pay war indemnity.
1t is even asserted that the Emperor, who is ever
busy with the affairs of Europe, is trying to
bring about marriage between Prince Hum
bert and an Austrian Archduchess; but this Is
mere rumor, and many have some difficulty
in believing that matrimonial union between
the friend and enemy of the Holy See is possible.
Letters from Rome state that there is great un
easiness in the Holy City, and that many fear
for the personal safety of the Pope, as the 18th
OF December is approaching, and not the least
step is being taken TO prepare for the evil hour.
Political Calm In Europe.
We may be said to be enjoying political
calm at present. The health of the Emperor is
slowly improving, and he may be seen daily
taking long walks in the neighborhood of ST.
Cloud. The Empress and the Prince Imperial
intend leaving for Biarritz to-day. They will
be joined by the Emperor as soon as he is in a
fit state to bear the journey thither The wea'
ther, which has been damp and dismal for the
last fortnight, is not calculated to make sea-
side residence at present very pleasant,
About Mexico.
great many reports are now current respect
ing the Mexican Empire and the mission OF the
Empress Charlotte. Some affirm that her Majesty
was fortunate enough in persuading Napoleon
70 consent TO prolongation Of the French occu
patton in Mexico; and others positively affirm
that the Mexican game is up, that the Empress
went to Miramar direct without going to Sc,
her brother at Brusses) in order to get every
thing ready for her husband, who will return
shortly to enjoy ease and quiet on the shore
of the beautiful Adnatic.
