WILL-Lot and his Minister. The best and the safest way will be for the EMPERORS who met the other day to keep their counsel and watch events, so as to be ready, when occasion calls, to resist undue encroachments on the part of the crafty schemers of Berlin, and to maintain, as far as possible, that equilibrium of power which can alone secure the peace of Europe and the welfare of the nations collectively.  It would seem from the news brought by the America from New York on the 15th inst. that the admission of General Grant into the Cabinet is likely to be favourable to the interests of the South in more ways than one. The suspension of Mr. STANTON must taturally have been hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by all who really desired the pacification of the country, an end perfectly unattainable under the STANTON regime. Now that General GRANT has assumed the direction of the military department there is hope of a change in the political barometer. It is no longer the object of the Secretary of War to foment discontent and to stir up if possible a fresh rebellion. General GRANT knows something of the character of the Southern people, their wants, their sufferings, their heroism. A brave and tried soldier himself, he knows them for " foemen worthy of his steel," and can appreciate something of the spirit which animated LEE and his associates in maintaining their desperate struggle. It is not surprising, remembering this, to find that General GRANT has been advocating in the Cabinet the adoption of a more liberal reconstruction policy, and no doubt his words will have a weight which would belong to no others. Although inclining to the Republicans rather than to the Democrats he has never been identified with the Radical party, and, should he succeed in his can Mature for the Presidency, it will be from the votes and influence of the moderate men, not of the extreme and intolerant demagogues. His appointment to the vacant office of Mr. STANTON has been thought by some likely to prejudice his chancA, but there are yet many mouths to elapse before Mr. JOHNSoN'S tenure of office is over, and many changes may occur before that strong band resigns the reins. If Mr. JOHNSON can get a firm and unanimous support from his Cabinet, he will probably be able, under the changed aspect of public feeling, to organise a totally different policy. The rumours Of the probable removal and resignation in the Government are denied, and the Cabinet is reported to be harmonious. Already the effect of the change is apparent. General SicKLEs,who has been obstructing in every possible way the process of the civil courts in North Carolina, has received a peremptory order directing him not to oppose but to support those courts. The other military c-''liMers in the South being no longer able to . ,'"?er themselves under the well known wishes of the War Secretary will be henceforth more scrupulous in invading the civil liberties of the unhappy Southerners. For the most part they have abused their power in this respect, as was perhaps to have been expected. They have endeavoured in every way to discredit and subvert the civil authorities, and where they have not absolutely overthrown them they have assumed an imperious direction of their conduct. Thus General POPE has ordered the civil officers in his district to give public advertisements to those journals which favour the Reconstruction Act, a trifle in itself, but indicative of the spirit which animates the district commanders. General SHERIDAN'S career as a Southern ruler has come to an end, and not too soon. The reckless exercise of his power in removing the municipal officers throughout his dominions, and the insubordination, not to say insolence, which he has been guilty of towards the PRESIDENT, rendered his removal imperative, if anything like discipline was to be kept up. Beth parties continue to indulge in charges and counter-charges of the most serious nature. Political recrimination between opposing parties in times of great excitement is only to be expected, but it speaks ill for the tone of American public feeling that such charges as perjury, conspiracy, and murder should be for a moment tolerated without substantial proof against men holding high positi ins in the State and the Congress.  From Mexico the news we have is important. According to advices received from Vera Cruz to the 31st of July, JUAREZ had entered the capital, where he had received an enthusiastic welcome. It is said that MARQUEZ has been captured, and LOPEZ, the traitor and betrayer of Queretaro, has been assaslnated. Whether this be true or no, it is certain that even in Mexico his crime has brought upon him indelible disgrace.
