THE CONGRESS OF sovEREIGNs.

What Louis Napoleon Thought of Such
Assem- mblages In 1s43-"KIngs May be
Deceived and Peoples Betrayed"
The Courier FrdRcdis, writing on the recent
assemblage of sovereigns and princes in Paris,
reproduces a very suggestive passage on such
meetings in the records of Napoleon the Third.
They formed part of an article contributed by
his Majesty to the Courier du Pas de Calais In
lS4S, and runs thus;-The meeting of two sove-
reiens has always been political event of the
highest importance. We contend that these
meetings have almost always ended in sad con-
sequences, which, in fact, open the way to
several dangers.
First. In the very rare event of soyereigns
forming a close friendship, their mutual sympa-
thies induce them to defend, with less energy
than they ought, the great interests they repre-
sent and they neglect TO value the rights of
their nations and the wrongs of their Govern
ments, because they do not like to hurt the
feelings of the crowned head who, on the pre-
vious evening, had been their host and who
has become the object of their solicitude.
Second. Another danger is to be found in the
politeness of courts, which initiates so well all
the virtues and hides so cleverly all jealousy
and rancor that the sovereigns allow themselves
to be deceived by the smooth and gracious
exterior. They mistake Doliteness for real feel.
ing and place their confidence without reserve
in an alliance which has only for support some
hattering assurances and some friendly toasts
drank during the excitement of g. fete.
Third. However frivolous the appearance of
these monarchical meetings may be, II is impos-
| sible that, during etetes some demand should
not be made, some promise made, or some con-
| cession obtained. ,=ySsss
Fourth. Finally, there is a danger which,
however small in appearance, has sometimes
| ended in serious consequences. Although eti.
| ouette be established to avoid ruffling amour
propre, often an involuntary forgetfulness irri.
| tates a prince to such degree that he VOWS
eternal hatred, The present King of Bavaria
| has become the irreconcilable enemy of France
| ever since the day when, at FOntainebleau, he
| thought that, by the orders of the Emperor,
proper respect had not been paid to his rank
| Thus, then, interviews like those which are
about to take place offer inconvenience and
dangers for kings as we'll as peoples-for kings,
| because they may be deceived; for peoples, be-
| caused they may be betrayed

TWO FIRES IN NEW YORK.
Three Buildings on Broad street and
One on South street Nearly Destroyed
Extensive Fire in n Flour Warehouse
=AUPrerRte Losses EmIIY 100000.

About 9'45 O'Clock last night Officer Nelis, of
the First Precinct discovered tire on the second
floor of No. l405 Broad street. The alarm was
given, and the iremen summoned to the scene.
The building is two story and attic frame
structure, very old, and in a most dilapidated
condition. The flames played sad havoc with
IT, and all but destroyed 1t. The hremen worked
well. but owing to the fact that the building
was OF wood, and old, they did not succeed in
eXtineuishng the flames as speedily as has been
their wont or late. The aggregate losses caused
by this fire are heavy, the amount being divided
among several tenants.
No. IA South street is a continuation of the
same wooden building, and stands on the corner
OF Broad street. No. l3 South street connects
damaged by the flames. Ali of these woojen
buildings, in fact, will no doubt be condemned
after proper survey.
The frame buildings in Broad and South
streets are owned by one person, whose name
could not be ascertained.
j. King, an employe, slept on one OF the upper
floors of No. lao Broad street, and was com
PEELED to make his escape minus his stock of
clothing.
The flames were extingushed in an hour and
half after the alarm had been given.
ANOTHER FIRE THIS MORNING.
At o'clock this morning the post Office bell
struck the same signal mo. 81, indicating
another fire IN the neighborhood of the Broad
street confagration. When our reporter reached
the scene he found the fve-story brick building,
No l3 Front street, in q sheet OF flames.
This building is stored with an immense guam
tity of flour, and is occupied by Messrs. Shute
q Van Pelt, commission merchants. A sthe
three upper Aoors we're on fire when the fremen
began working, it is safe to assume that nearly
all of the stock will be destroyed before the
flames can be eXtinguished
No. IL Front street is occupied by Noble &
Douglass, commission merchants, who will sus-
tain a severe loss by water.
No. 10 is occupied by Condt & Belts produce
merchants, and their premises were also endan-
gered by the intense heat.
These buildings are in the same block with
those burned at the other fire, and it is supposed
that the flames derived their origin from that
source. Owing to the lateness of the hour, no
correct estimate of the loss can be made, though
it cannot fall short of $40, 900, being probably
covered by insurance.

gress and the steamers are struggling 70 subdue
