when IL is further remembered thai on tho very
evo of this great international ftte Europe was
on tiao brink Of gigantic war, and the
field Of Mars, upaa which the arts Of peace
are now being exhibited, might haye become
the camping ground for hostile bands Of Psus-
sian grenadiers, there is all the moro reason
for a9Rgratnlation at the happy turn affairs
havd taken Within tho last two months. All
rumors Of war are hushed. NApphEos Pee
sides at the contest Of the industrial afts for
the mastery, and to this joust he has Invited
all ths princes and potentates of. the earth.
The Queen Of England sent her SONS to pay
their respects to NAPOLEON the King and
Queen of the Belgians eamo. the guesta OF His
Imperial Majesty. Tho Gear and one of his
sons did not disdain to partake of the Emper.
or's hospitality. The Crown Prince of Prussia
came. and returned to Berlin, delighted with
the regal reception npoorded him. His
august father, King WILLIAM, in company with
Count BIsMAncK came NEXT, and has returned

uEL will arrive there this week, 80 also the
Sultan Of Turkey; and most wonderful to
tell, ABOUT tho frst Of July, the Emperor Of
China is expected In Paris, The guest of Louis
NAroLEoN. '"' t"*H
This last is unquestionably the most romarka-
Bile event in modern history. The Tycoon OF
japan is also represented In Paris By his
brother II is reasonable, we think, to infer
from this event, that the Great Wall, that
hitherto kept outside barbariens both from
China and japan, will soon bo ievellod, never
again to obstruct the onward maroh Of oiyili,a-
lion and christianity. . f,
Sovereigns and Princes, wuu nnYe Visited, or
are yet to visit Paris, during the present sum-
NOR. NAroLKoN was the frat monarch who
ever conceived the brilliant project of assem-
bling the crowned heads Of the world GROUND
an exhibition Of the triumphs Of the world'si
industry. This is an excellent preliminary
step to his other scheme of bringing about o
European Congress for the adjudication Of
various questions OF continental interest-one
them q gsheral disarfhsmtnt. q;
Why the President OF the United States was
not invited to the Tuileries VIC cannot imagine,
True, he could not have gone, but he might
have sent some suitable representative-Gen
BUTLER, for instance, or Detective General
BAKER, or some other Of our distin suished
men. We hope LOUIS has not become 80 much
infected with arisioorsoy as to consider demo
orallo-we beg pardon, a Republican Pfesi-
dent beneath his notice. ~ I. = :. '..'.@
Certainly, NAroLKos has much reason to fee,
proud at what he has himself achieved; fifteen
years ago not one Of ell this long list Of sov-
ereigns and princes would have passed the
threshold Of his red republican door, for thew
knew him only as the embodiment Of the reyoS-;
lutionary idea. ti@'5' ~ 't,.'
Now, there is not q monarch under the sun,
who, whatever his private opinion and feelings
may be toward the "upstart in the Tuileries,"
does not find IL politlo and even necessary to-
profess the utmost respect, not to cay affection,
for bis Imperial Majesty. Greater sucoees no
man ever, enjoyed. LOUIS .he Fourteenth was was
Hattered when Dogs Of Venice consented to
tread the polished floors OF his newly built ysr!!

some Field Of Cloth Of Gold 10 a perpetual
topic OF history; for sovsreigns Rays been apt
