WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE general
Impression prevails that the prospects for
the restoration of the Emperor are steadily
improving. An argument in favor of his
restoration is the ruinOus cOnse Quences to
many poverty stricken sections of Germany,
in case of much longer prOtractiOn Of the
war.
1t was asserted yesterday that an auto
graph letter arrived from Emperor Alex
ander to Napoleon. Having had an oppor-
tunity of looking at the Emperor's forth
coming pamphlet ON the relations between
France and Germany, by Marquis De
Gricourt, chosen by the Emperor as the
supposed author, l send you few extracts,
nnder the chapter headed 1885,"
But it was not England's and Russia's
friendship which, by sincere, open-hearted
action, the Emperor had gained in 1856, it
was also the gratitude Of Prussia, through
the wishes of her King. Only the belliger-
emit powers, Russia, England, France,
Turkey and Piedmont had been called to
meet at Paris in congress. The King of
Prussia felt hurt in the highest degree. He
had not been invited to join the conference
which was to secure the peace of Europe.
England had opposed his admission ener-
eetically. She was extremely nettled at the
POLITICAL course of the Berlin Cabinet, which
during the entire campaign never concealed
it's sympathies for Russia.
The brother of the present King Frederick
William wrotoa letter to the Emperor Ma
poleOn, in which he reflected on the deep
grief experienced by him at the exclusion,
which he viewed as equal to insult He
confided fully in the justice and friendship
Of Napoleon. He requested him to remove
Englann's opposition, and added that he
would be happy and thank him for his adj
mission to the congress, considering it as
service personally rendered for which he
would always be grateful. In 1866 the
Prussian Ambassador at Paris, Count Won
Der GOldt, was commissioned to sound the
intentions of Europe, and several converse
tions concerning this matter took place in
the beginning Of 1856. The King of Prus-
STA wrote in his own hand to Napoleon to
tell him that, in view Of events, he had i'll
structed his ambassador to learn the EN-
per0r's intentions and arrive at an under
standing.
The Emperor then replied to the King
that it was difficult to foresee the results OF
the outbreak, but that both sOvereigns had
made calculations upon their reciprocal bona
Jide mutual wish to preserve under all cir
cumstances, the most friendly relations
Negotiations, nevertheless, continued, and
France declared neutrality. This neutrali-
ty, so favorable to Prussia, permitted her
to commence the campaign at that epoch.
The confidence in Berlin respecting the kind
feeling of France was so strong that Bis
marck remarked to Benedetti: "Our trust in
your government is SO firm that we have
mot single soldier left on the bank of the
Rhine"
Important movements are evidently on
the tapis here. Distinguished guests move
backward and forward, whose names are
kept secret, and who are constantly closeted
with the Emperor.
