There is nothing new under the sun al present
In fact, we have no sun to look at-Old Sol has
been sulking us for the last month; he refuses
to ripen our grapes and corn. The great political
actors of the day have now retired into private
life, and politics are almost, if not entirely.

The only matter of any political interest is the

Dresden, the capital, and LeIpsic think it would
be better to be at once swallowed up by

than to have to drag on a miserable existence of
sham autonomy. Bismark is most anxious that
Saxony should share the late of Hanover.

the thing is not yet to be done without giving

must for the present postpone it.

Change i'm the French Military System.
This is the order OF the day at present; it is
the ruling topic just now. The old corscrip-
ton system is TO be set aside ana the Prussiau
s. stem, which orders that every ablebodied
man, having attained the age of twenty.one,
shall be forced to serve his country during the
space OF twelve months, will most probably be
adopted.
1t is calculated that by entirely changing the
present footing OF the army, and by introducing
that of Bsmark, which has shown itself to be
so practical, the forces of France would be

Monsieur de Moustier,
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, will not be
in Paris before the middle of October. He will
be the twelfth Minister of Foreign Affairs since
December, 1S4S. His predecessors have been

Italy.
The Italian Government is now doing what
was done in America after the termination of
the sad civil war, viz, sending its soldiers home

40 600 pairs of shoes have been sent for the vol
unteers; nevertheless, the distribution had been
so badly made that whole companies were in want
OF supply. The same mismanagement occurred
with the shirts. Italy maintained during the
war an army of 964 600 men, all told. The daily
rations, on account of their bad quality, have to
be trebed that is to say, three have been given
to each soldier. This, however, did not prevent
many from gong without meal.
The Empress of Mexico.
The Empress Charlotte, whether she remains
at Miramar to await the Emperor Maxim llian, as
some assert, or whether she returns to Mexico,
will not visit Brussels. The day after the depart
ure of the Empress from Paris for Miramar,
Messrs. Jules Won Praet and Conway two of the
testamentary executors OF the late King, left
Brussels for Miramar to confer with her Majesty
on the subject of the deceased monarch's will.
BY law, the executors have a year and a week
from the date of the death to perform their
office. 1t was to obtain the approval of the En-
press to the steps already taken, that these gen.
tleme IN visited Miramar. Up to the present
time the work of the executors has been slow
and embarrassed. Their mission seems likely to
be as long and difficult as that of Mr.. Dupin

the publicity of the will, which is reported to
contain, besides general dispositions and nume-
