London has bad ite saturnalia. First we had the debut of Piccolomins: ‘at her Majesty’s Opera House, with immense success— hen the Derby, with the fuvorite nag seventh—then a gtand ball at Aali Pasha’s, at the Turkish Embassy, to Which the Queen went in state, and last night such a flare- ‘up of gas as never was beheld before, and fireworks that ‘Might have been seen for miles round; add nearly three maillions of people, with good bumored faces thronging London streets, which were light as day, and I will spare you a description, leaving itto the imagination of your readers, Lord Ward’s house, in Park lane, bad 20,000 Jets of gas, streaming along pillar and balustrade, which one mass of liquid fre. A bouguct of 14,000 réckets, sent up in one mighty phizzing roar, concluded dhe amusements., The greatest order and good humor prevailed, and no accident, that I am aware of, ce- curred. “Mhese festivities were to commemorate the restoration of peace to the world. And yet a cloud of apprehension Still hovers in the horizon, and it has assumed a darker ape recently. It is to be hoped it will pass over, and that the sky will again be quite serene. I allude, of course, tethe quesiion pending between bugland and the United’ States. Ye il the ort of the debate “asioned by ments to be will receive by this Bent te Canada.

Youware in possession . nents and corres: pendence. You have the Euglish view of the case to eanpare with the American view. Tean but express the hope that so drea calamity as a war with the United States may, with God’s bl be averted. -As regurds the Ita a , it remains in statu quo. ‘The Italians are ¢ for a rising, and Austria is serious- ly alarmed. it having been rumored that Austria had made an attempt to induce Prussia to guarantee her Imlian possessions to her by a treaty, the official gazette of Vienna disclaims it, It says A number of North German papers and_ correspon- dents continually repeat that the Imperial Court desires to induce Prussia to guarantee the territory of the Austrian empirc, more particularly that part of it which isin Italy, and they do not fail to make the most of this theme of their own invention Neither the papers in qu m nor their readers need be under any alarm. Aust which in the most trying and dangerous times of ex and internal confusion found means to retain possession of the Italian crown Jands, has the cc ishess of being perfectly well able to defend both position whieh is her's by right of treaty, ag: ttack. The power of Austria is based on Ber internal ‘strength and on Euro- péan treaties which are ree the Powers. As to the policy 5 based on a respect for all True to its prineiple—r 1 sovereigntics—the imperial royal government can never recognise tho right which is claimed by the Sar- dinian court to speak inthe name of Ital Although Tegarding things from a point of view entirely different, ‘we canuot but agree with the opinion expressed by that Minister, that in the perception of international relations, rights and duties, there isan impassabie guif between Austria and the present Sardinian Cabinet. Wherever Austria bas intervened in Italy she has done 60 in the most disinterested manuer; she has iutervened at the request of the different sovereigns, and, as soon as ‘one or other of them has declared his ability to maintain public peace and order without foreign assistance, the imperial forces have been withdrawn from his territo- ries. Prudent and judicions reforms, freely emanating from the rezpective sovercigns, may conduce to the wish- ed for peace and quiet af tho Italian States, and the impe- rial government has never failed to give its advice in that direction, though always with that consideration which is due to the dignity and independence of foreign States. ‘Austria is ready to give ber approval to all advan- tageous changes which may emanate from the free and enlighted will of the Italian governments, and she wishes nothing more earnestly than that the time’may soon come when the Italian sovereigns, to whom she has afforded her disinterested support against the revolution and ita agents, may be able to dispense with the assistance of the Austrian troops, but she will firmly repel any unjus- tifiable attack which may be made on those Italian States that are allied to Ler, and willdo all in her power to counteract the machinations of the anarchists, aud to pre- Vent revolutionary agitation. Our Paris Correspondence. Paris, May 25, 1856. Grand Féte at St. Cloud in Honor of the Rayal Visilers— Magnificence of Sg, Scone—Health of the Empress—Gal dant Complint nt of Count Orloff to Her Majesty—The Fe- male Toilettes—The Supper, dc., &c. ‘The Palace of St. Cloud was, on Thursday evening, a scene of extraordinary and unsurpassed magnificence. (One would need a pen of no ordinary graphic power to do fustice to it ; but your readers must endeavor to fill up for themselves the faint sketches I send. No journal, either French or English, that I have seen, has attempted @ description, either from innate modesty, or, perhaps, that the proper ‘gentlemen of the press”’ are rarely ad- Baitted on such august occasions. _ ‘The object of the fée was to do honor to the two youth- ful princes—Duke Ferdinand Maximilian, younger brother of the Emperor of Austria, and Prince Oscar, son of the King of Sweden. The number of invitations, or rather commands, was 1,600. They extended to the whole corps Giplomatique and their ladice, to the imperial ministers, to ll of the haute noblesse of that ancien régime who had shown the slightest inclination to acquiesce in the new order of things, and to the principal foreigners at present Bojourning in Paris. ‘The Palace bas again undergone a thorough revival. ‘The gilding bas been retouched ; the gorgeous tableaux that on every wall and eeiling bang like rubies and other Precious stones round the neck of beauty, have, by tho cunning Land of science, been made more fully to de- elope their exquisite colors ; and the skill of the tapis- Bier bas thrown into each and every saloon a richness of ornament, a luxury of comfort, and a dignity of domesticity such as, perhaps, no other palace in Christendom can beast of. Ob, if Jerome Le Gondy, that rich financier, who, some 300 years ago, first built this charming temple of royalty, could only now survey the eonsummation of his handiwork, how grati- fied would be his vanity! Or those four burly Bishops of Paris, all of the eame family, whe consecutively possessed it, ifthey in their sléekness could but peep inand seo What kings and emperors have done to hallow the spot their most reverend predecessors loved so well, with what indulgence might they not regard this wicked gene- ‘ation! ‘The guests began to arrive about nine o'clock. The Emperor, seated on athrone, with the Archduke Ferdi and Maximilian on his right, while on his left, on a Chaise lounge, reclined the Empress, by whose side sat Prince Ozear, received them in the Galerie d’Apollon—that gorgeous salon, rich with the glowing subjects of Mignard, where the Pope baptised Prince Napoleon, eldest son of Prince Jerome in 1805, and the civil marriage of Napoleon to Marie Louise was celebrated in 1810. The wind howled mournfully without, the rain came pattering down in tor- rents, the drenched and draggied horses stood smoking nd steaming at the palace gates; the liveried lacqueys eyed wistfully tho signs of good cheer within. But bo thought of such matters, as, descending from his poiture, the welcome guest entered into the bosom of all Ghat galaxy of imperial splendour? Tho hall was covered With cloth of gold. Five hundred serving men, in uni Yorms, handsome epough to shame a field marshal’s, stood fa phalamx at the door. You passed from ves @ibule to vestibulo, each more magniliciently ar- rayed and guarded than the other ; till at last ‘ascending -a marble flight of steps, on every marche oa etch wood a double sentry of the gigantic Cent Garde, rc arm, with that jong sword blade bay! A (ting and glittering wita most inurderous inten c wes Introduced by Napolcon iil. A little in. advance of these armed dreadpoughts stood tall standard bearers on either side, drooping forward the national tri-color, gor- embroidered on emboesed silk, an the national colors of Austria and Sweden. Tho contrast between Mhese formidable looking guards and the light, fragiie which, in all the beauty of the most finished toi- 44, tripped half timidly over the velvet pile which cover- the staircases, was curious. The difference between Qhe two sexes could not have been better exemplified. Once on the landing and past this line of steel, the Stene became one of omehantinent. Floods of light streamed down from a bundred lustres.

Tho palade in ite is remarkabie for the air of comfort it pos- Besses; aud now that evory adjunct is appended that @an render it the very incarnation of luxury, it is indeed & place where kings might be forgiven for forgetting they ‘Were mortal. ‘The health of the Empress haz so much impro‘gd, that ‘not able to move about, she remained in thYrooms Girafer ‘one o'clock, and waa so full of spirits the whole peg ot pe wore entertained lest her Majesty shonld exe . Among the cartest arrivals Count Orloff, and pi could be more friendly than apparent relations of the jan Plenipotentiary, not only with the Emperor and Empress, but with the Arch- @nike Maximilian amd Prine Oscar, They both shook him Warmly by the hand, and as tho Empross put out hers to Him, and the Count respectfully raised it to his lips the Bair Eugenio was heard to say, with one of her sweetest @miles, Now, thia is really better than Oghting, n’et-ce for the independence of ' more secret vices are indulged in. ment, was worth a king’s ransom. All the guests were in uniform, or in full court dress. ‘The ball, for such it was, was ofa very differ- ent description to those given at the Tuileries. There was great state and high ceremony, but there was a more intimate relation between the Imperial host and the in- vited than is witnessed at the Tuileries. Napoleon moved hither and thither with less than at the. palace in Paris, and it must be added that the guests had conai- derably more reticence in their behaviour. Prince Maxi- milian is tall, and dances with grace. In countenance he is better looking than his brother, the Em) r of Austria, though there is nothing to indicate anything like extraor- dinary genius. Prince Oscar is perhaps the best looking, and has a good brow. The Archduke Maximilian danced Gret with tho Princess Mathilde, and afterwards with Lady Cowley. After having done <duty with these dignified belles, who, despite their acknowledged bloom, must have been a shade too old for his taste, as the evening advanced both he and Prince Oscar selected partners more. conspicuous for their youth, their beauty, their grace in the dance and their lightness of step than their pre-eminence of rank, Nothing could haye given more geuiality to the evening than this very untoyard proceed- ing af the young Princes. The Emperor flung aside all state, and Moved about freely from room to room, chat. ting with all. ‘The Empress, as che still reclined on her elegant canopy, had-quite a circle of humble admirers; and when the supper was annow in the Salle d’Or- angerie, when state and dignity were once more to take precedence, I believe all the’ imperial and royal mag- nates were reluctant to be reminded of their responsi- bilities. The supper was laid out on thirty tables, each capable of seating fourteen persons, The Salle d’Orangerie, 80 memorable for the coup d'état of the 18th Brumaire, is, in fact, one of the best proportioned rooms in the palace, large and lofty; either for a Couneil of Five Hundred or an imperial banquet, no place could be bet- ter adapted. Napoloon, the Empross, the Princesa Mathilde, the two young Princes, Count Ortoff, Lord and Lady Cowley, and Baron Hubner, the Austrian Am- Dassador, and one or two others, occupied the first table, Which was arranged, however, ¢xactly like all the rest. The company then promiscuously took possession of the others, the greatest care being taken by the chamberlains that there should be no undue crowding. The luxuries that covered each table, the elegant disposition of the Viands, the costliness of their nature, the exquisite char- acter and variety of the wines, would require the pen of Ude himself to describe. Six serving men were appointed to each table. The moment the party quitted it an eu- tirely new course of viands, sweets, &¢. Was substituted. ‘The tablecloth was taken away, leaving a spotless one underneath, if an accidental soil had stained its purity. It was impossible to be served in a more kingly manner. One of the peculiarities at St. Cloud is, that the panels, the ceiling, the walls, every place, are covered with remin: cences and mementos of the house of Orleans, and th Bourbons generally. At every turn the visiter is re- minded that a stranger has leaped into another's saddle, Yet there that stranger sits, self-possessed and smiling, as zh it were the portraits of his own ancestors whose ~d upon him, while keeping high feast and is father’s halls. As we supped, the most deii. : music from the bamt of the Guides, placed in the gar- regaled us. It is impossible to imagine olupty ‘ene. It was not a place for polities ; but it was remarked that Baron Hubner and Count Orie were on the most gracious terms. A gentleman informed me that he heard the two in deep conversation about Ita- ly, and Count Orloff say to the Austrian Ambassador some such words as th ‘ will prove another Hungary to you; and may ai, for no one else will.’? I wish I could, for the benefit of that numerous class of fair readers who delight in the columns of the Herat, give some description of the many beautiful tollettes which added such lustre to this magnificent féte, Alas! my soul faints at the very thought of such an enterprise. Indeed, I was in one perpetual state of amazement. I n0 sooner attempted to tix my eyes on one than another daz- zling meteor gleamed before me, till at last, in mazed be- wilderment, I looked vaguely on the gorgeous mass as pen- sant would survey a mass of costliest tulips. They were all too beautiful to particularize. One observation only T will presume to make, I did not remark the slightest di- minution in the space the toilettes occupied. The ladies —amiable as they always are—are not the persons to yield an inch of ground without a struggle. A number of distinguished Russians were there, wearing their national costume; and the variety cf masculine totlettes were as great as those of the gentler sex. Altogether, the ball and banquet of the 22d of at the Pi i3 an epoch to be remembered. e of St. Cloud, Pans, May 26, 1866. The Drum and Trumpet Revolution in London—French Enjoyment of the Peculiarities of Their Neighbors—The French Press on the Halian Question—Grand Dinner at the English Embassy—Position of American Diplomats in Europe—The Baptism of the Prince Imperial. In the absence of politics, the French, who never omit an opportunity of ridiculing the Puritanism of Protestant England, are enjoying, with more than their usual gusto, the trumpet and drum conspiracy in England. c To people accustomed from time immemorial to consider the Sabbath as made for man, rather than man for the Sabbath, and to receive this dogma in so large asense hat all amusements and relaxations of the most exciting character are specially deferred till the seventh day, it may easily be imagined that nothing can be less compre- hensible than a ministry brought in peril by suffering a band of music to play ona Sunday. The argument used is this':—You English have some sterling qualities, which we unhesitatingly admit, and for aught we know to the contrary, the right to use your private judg- ment in interpreting the Holy Scriptures may have some- thing to do with thom. You are an indefatigable, punc- tual, and, asa body, truthful people. This is saying much. But the moment we separate the higher and more refined class from the mass—which class, by the way, owes much of its refinement to its frequent communion with other countries—more especially France—we find the mass heavy, vulgar, obscene, and, in fact, brutalized. Shoals of you are thrown into Paris daily. What is your first object? Improvement and enlargement of the mind? No—to eat and to drink. When wandering among all our beantiful monuments, full of art and historic lore, the glazed eye of an Englishman is fixed on vacancy. He knows nothing of any language but his own; he moves about with calf-like stupidity; he is only elated when gormandizing like a hog, or swallowing alcohol by the litre. Now, look at the Frenchman. Do not se- lect him from atnong the shopkeeping class. Sound the depths of society au fond. Take the working classes, the man with the blouse, the woman who would consider the wearing of a bonnet a mark of pride and presump- tion. Look at this class on a Sunday. It delights to walk abroad among the green ficlds in summer, to wander among temples of art in winter. There is no drunken- nese, no noise, no offensive gait; all is easy, cheerful and enjoyable. Later in the day, husband, wife and child are seen at the reetaurant, the cafe, the dance. The most refined person may go among them, and will hear or see nothing which violates decorum. What produces this difference of deportment? We French have but one answer to such question. It is our more rational manner of keeping the Sabbath. We devote it to God till mid-day, and then, as the best offering we can make to the Giver of all good, ‘we devote it to the relaxation of ourselves. You, on the contrary, make your Sunday a day of iron spiritual rule. To laugh, or sing, or dance is sinful; to visit places of ro- creation is still more so, Accordingly the heavy and ‘The moody go from preacher to preacher as from tragedy to tragedy—a sort of moral gip drinking. The more lively seck in holes and corners that stimulant they dare not seek elsewhere. ‘The inference we draw is: that till the English lay aside such irrational Puritanism they may remain great as a people, but as individuals, compared with the French, will to continue what they are at present—burbarians. ‘Tho Détats comments on the attitude adopted by the Englich press in respect to the Italian question, and con- trawte it with the language employed by the British gov- ernment on the same subject. « Whilst,”” itsaya, “the English government holds a paci- fie language, the Londen journals do not scruple to instigate the Italian population to revolt. This very day the most popular of theo journals induiges in a furions onslanght on all tho Italian governments in general, and on that of Naples in particular. We wish here to assert that we do not appear as defenders of the existing state of things, but at the same time we protest against instigations which we con- sider dangerous and inhuman. The Italians would do well, before counting blindly on the assistance promised them by wiixh press, to examine what is passing around them, tthe moment when England has contracted an of- nd defensive alliance with Austria that she will g Italian independence the support of her arms and in- fluence, We know well that the alliance of the three Powers les, strictly speaking, special and detcrmined objects; but it woul! be puerile to suppose that treatios contrac’ betweow Powers of the first order have mo general signfl- cance, and that political questions can be ivolated. When, therefore, Lord Palmerston solemnly declared the othor cap in the Engli#h Parliament that the treaty of the 150) of April did nut guarantee the Italian possessiona of Aus- trie, he replied to @ question not asked of him.

Viewed in the abstract, nothing can’ be more absurd than the notion of a get country being benefitted by any- ting, a Gens ated teh e e is no doubt that the impreasion of a oot "g greatness i3 improved by it. I say “the Ae aera greatness’’—because, unless such already exists, it is not likely to be created by the state ceremony of its ambas- sador. One, also, of the results of the position the am- bassador is to hold is, that the -post is one sought for by men of the highest worth in the country which sends him, His personal character, his high Dearing, his re- fined conduct and manners, come in aid of his external circumstance, and foreigners contemplate the people he re- presents in some measure through his medium. Inorder to measure the position more exactly, let_us take that of the Enited States, as represented by itsambassador, Why, at least one-fourth of poor Mr. Mason's salary must be absorb- ed in his house rent. If he attempts to imitate the hospl- tality of ambassadors. representing countries no ter than his own, he must do 60 at his own ‘ge. If he be a man of fortune, it is all very well; if not, heis liable to bring the reputation of his country into contempt. With a kuowledge of tis before them, the best Americans have no ambition to hold the situation. Men are sent to Paris who, whatever their general information, or their easy good will, have not the good manners necessary to the situation. They are out of place. Brought especially inte the presence of the aristocracy of the mother coun- try, they are either Lrusquely independent, or what is far more generally the case, loathsomety servile. How can it be Otherwise, transported from a confinedcirele, where to spit on the floor, chew tobacco, or doze away the day with a pipe in the mouth—what knowledge can such a man have of the rules of etiquette and observance by which the society of a highly cultivated eapital, Hke Paris, is governed ? Such a man will give offence ‘rom the purest ignorance. Letters will remain unacknewledged. Cards will be negligently lost, or unreturned. Individuals with ‘no one qualification in common, will be invited to meet at his table. In fact, the American Minister—the most iny nocent man alive, and really a boon com} ‘may make his great country stink in the nos:rils of the stran- ger, and grossly dishonor it in the wew of his com- patriots. A preat, magnificent, and most influential coun- try like America, should be represented by ono of its highest. citizens, and be nooly and munif- cently supported at the country’s cherge. In making these observations Iam making no reforence to indivi+ duals. It is the system which is in question; and it is painful to those who estimate the dignity of the United and to her citizens also coming abroad, to hear ican diplomacy spoken of in derogatory terms, and to know especially that it is not without reason. ‘The, subscription sct on foot in the arrondissements and banlieu of Paris to present the Empress and tho Prince Imperial with a mark of devotedness, and limited in the amount of cach subscription to 6 sum not exceed- ing five sous, has becn closed, and ameunts to the sum. of 80,000 francs, the number of subscribers being 600,000, By the Empress’ desire, this sum is to go towards a fund for the support of orphans of the working classes pre- maturely deprived of their parents, “The Empreas wiskes that the poor workman, taken prematurely from his family, should carry with him in hs dying moments the consoling thought that imperial benevolence will watch over his children.” They are aot to be placed in an asylum, but a permanent commission under tho Em- press’ patronage, till her son is old enoigh to siperintend it himself, is to find out families who will receive them and give them the affection and care required. The following are somo few details cd the preparations now in progress at Notre Dame for the baptism of the Prince Imperial:—The whole of the church will be deco- rated with paintings to harmonize with the style of the building, and all the windows fitted with colored giase, fo as to throw a soft light over the interior, The ones of the vaulted roof to the capitals of the co- will be gilded. In the centre & tho transept, and ‘on an astrade approached by six steps, will be placed on the right and left the Legate, the Archbishop, the Cardi- nals, the prelates and the other digntaries of the church. In the centre are to be scats for the Emperor and Em- press, the imperial family, the ladies of honor, and the ministers. The altar, which is to be placed at the en- trance of the choir, is to be covered with # canopy, and on either side are to be erected tribunes for the ladies of the high public functionaries. Betveen tho altar and the prie-dieu of their majesties, will be placed the baptismal font. The water for the ceremony is to be put im the vase of St. Louis (now in the Musée des Souverains). The diplomatic body and the Senat» are to be as usual the southern transept ; the northern being occupied by the Legislative Body and Council of State.

I paid another visit to Cronstadt on Friday last, and spent a few days in re-examining the numerous batteries and other formidable defences which frown defiance in every direction from which an assailant can approach. If the allies, mortified by the abortive efforts of two suc- ceesive seasons, had made vastly increased preparations for its attempted reduction this spring, in case peace had not been declared, the Russians haye done all that could be effected by the highest talent in the country, aided by the most ample means and material, and the patient, ceaseless industry of as many men as could work without being in each other’s way,to even more thar proportionably augment its power of resistance. Todtleben, the world- renowned engineer of Sevastopol’s hastily constructed earth defences, with several of the ablest men in the imperial service, have been employed there during the whole winter, and the invaluable additions which have been made to the existing fortifications, and the seemingly impregnable new works which have sprung into being in and around the izland-town, clearly attest ‘the matchless skill and wondrous energy with which they have prosecuted their mission. An incredible number of bands were continually engaged, both day and night, and nothing which human genius or human labor could per- form seems left undone. Every spot on which a rampart could be erected with the slightest show of advantage, now bristles with guns and mortars of the largest calibre, and even the Finland shore is studded with powerful bat- teries, which look like the production of long years of persevering toil, instead of the creation of a fow months. Several of theze are masked batteries. They are built in the forest, and 80 completely hidden by the trees that it is almost impossible to perceive them at a few yards dis- tance. A powerful fleet is also in tho harbor, and some fifty or sixty new gunboats have been added to the float- ing defences, Judging from the past rather inglorious inactivity of the Russian navy, the ships, in the event of an attack, would most probably have done but little service beyond divert- ing a portion of the enemy’s fire and attention. Tho gun- boats are miserably frail concerns and wretchedly mo- dolled. The first shot which should faily strike one of them would make her a coffin for all on board. Tho en- gines, however, which are oscillators, of some seventy horse power, are pretty good, and the boilers excellent. Fach boat carries three 64-pounders on deck, which tra- verse entirely around her. If the war had continued the allies would have had to content themselves with a repe- tition of their previous performances, or have insanely given themselves up to inevitable destruction. Nothing short of the annihilation of all engaged in it could possibly result from a serious assault upon Cronstadt in its pre- eont impregnable condition. & The most gigantic preparations had been made through out the whole empire for the’prosecution of the war on a vastly increaged ccale, if peace bad not revnited freg the Paris Conferences. Tho Imperial Guards, numbering nearly three bundred thousand men, wore to have been actively engaged this year, As it iv, although they ro pentedly begged to be led against the enemy, not one o them has been within sound of a hostile gun during the lato war. They are the elite of the Russian army. Nearly all the young men of the empire who had eecaped the conscriptian volunteered months before peace was de clared, and on my arrival in Northern Russia, in tho latter part of February, every town and village was full of militia men, clad very much like our fire engine target companies, with the addition of a brass Creek crosa on the frout of their cap. They seemed to be imbued with all the enthusiaem which patriotic ardor and religious zeal is capable of infusing into a people naturally somewhat stolid aad anti-mercurial. Tho streeta of St. Petersburg swarmed with those robust but rather clumsy irregulars, but they all returned to their homes shortly after the pro- miuigntion of pence. Every day strengthens me in the conviction that the Russians realy love their sovercign, and they are the ouly people I have yet seen who do. This was strikingly manifest during the magnificent i/lumina- tions which took place here in commemoration of the Emperor’ chee and the Empress Dowager's name day.’ Tsay nothing of the gorgeous decorations and the millions of Variegated lamps with which almost every house, in every street, was literally covered. These may, Or may OO} bayg been got up por order, but every man, pemeitns Reis eect very step, and the open Emperor every step, ani barouche in which the alternately satand stood was c! by Sun- dreds, many of whom occasionally on to the sites andrear of the vehicle. This, too, may possibly have been mere scting. but if it was, the actors of Rasaia are invmeasurably the best and moist numersus of any eountry on earth. No squadrons with drawn salsres to it the timid, and incense the brave, accompanied him ; no body guard interposed between him and the gratulations of the people, and not a single policeman—proverbial as are that officious fraternity almostevery where for a gratuitous: exhibition of authority—made the slightest attempt to in- terfere with the humblest person ir that yast gathering. To uscribe this enthusiastic devotion of the le to- ward their Emperor to a debasing servility is the stupid error of & very poor reasoner and superficial ebser- ver. The Russians value personal liberty more highly than. any people in Europe, always excepting the French ; and none, save the latter, enjoy more of tt. No man ever did more to wrest power from the nobility and diffuse it among the masses of the people, than that most extraor- dinary man, the late Emperor. Nicholas. He had a trul republican faith in the virtue and capacity of mankind, when freed from the Dlighting effects of ignorance, and a life long familiarity with oppression; and le was untiring in his efforta to prepare the rising generation for the fall- est measure of freedom and advancement which could be safely conferred upon them. If the war had not broken out, he would have freed all the serfs, and he had deter- mined on doing 0, if he had lived to see it ended. sonally know that the present Emperor is seriously con- templating: the carrying out of his father’s intentions in this respect, and have the best reasons for bolieving that he will, at his coronation, which takes place at Moscow in August, proclaim freedom to, at least, all born after that day, He is, 1think, a man. of noble, generons impulses and kind heart, but though much more highly educated, possesses neither the native force or indomitable will of his matchless father, Had the latter lived, he would have sacrificed every man and rouble in his empire before he would have consented to the surrender of a singte inch of his territory, Austria's threat of joining the alliance inthe event of the rejection of her propositions, evon though backed by the rest of Europe, would have had no effect upon his unconquerable spirit’ beyond stimulating to exertions equal to the enlarged proportions of the combination, Thore is but one fecling here in regard to her perfidy and ingratitude, and terrible will be the re- tribution with which she will be visited on the first op- portunity. This is the only stable government in Europe, and the events of a single year may scatter to the winds all the cabinet combinations existing elsewhere. ‘The English have been grievously outwitted in the whole business of their late alliance. They have lost by St for ever their best friend, and have only gained the very questionable temporary co-operation ‘of one who may again, at any moment, become among them a rosi- dent exile. He who has trampled upon the constitution he had sworn to support, and audaciously betrayed and. outraged the people who’ gencrously confided in him, is certainly not very likely to keep faith with foreign cro ed heads an hour longer than it promises to promote his interest. I haye more than one good reason, too, for be lieving that thero is a better understanding ‘secretly ex- isting between France and Russia than is generally be- it ‘There is no feeling here against the French, but a very bitter one exists against the British government. ‘The singularly tolerant spirit of the Russian peopie ma- nifests itself even in the treatment of the ish resi- dents, and in this respect there was no difference during the war. There is no interference with the religious opi- nions or worship of any person. All enjoy perfect liberty of conscience, and there is none of the personal bigotry, either, which is to be met with so plentifully éven among the canting religionists of our own country. There were between four and five thousand British subjects in this city alone, during the whole of the war, and they all carried on their business uninterruptedly, and enjoyed the patronage of their Rus- sian customers as though the two governments were ou terms of the most intimate friendship. The officiating clergyman of the Englizh Chapel publicly prayed every Sunday, for the success of the Queen’s arms, and tho congregation responded. This I myself witnessed. also met several English families at dinners given by the firat men in the empire ; and all this certainly evinces a mag- nanimity and liberaily for which itis not easy to find a parallel. Several of the marine engines of tle imperial service have been built by Mr. Baird, an English or Scotch gentleman, who has an immense foundry and machine shop here, and has already realized a princely fortune. Some of the engines of the gun boats, have alzoveen bull by Mr. Thompson, another Englishman, whose works are out at Alexandrosky, and the balance have been put in by the Messers. Winans of Baltimore, who. have amassed millions by their contract with the govermnent for keen. ing the locomotives and cars of the Moscow railroad in Tepair. ‘enterprising hore {5 a ae Dpenhig cad for some American merchants and capitalists in this 4 tofore nearly feveryihing American ‘ans come three direct from America previous to tho war. The Rus- England. Not a single cargo “en of cotton ever came signs are now determin’ that it shall all come so. The care feeling exit’. among all classes towards Ame- cs ant ess and nothing but folly and miscon- uct & ueir “wn part can prevent its continuance. It may be wei to state that it is sheer madness for any third or Beeeud rate men to come from the United States with ‘Le tdea of astonishing people here, or of bettering them- selves. There are plenty of good workmen in almost every mechanical department in this eountry, and none but first class men of established reputation at home need think of visiting St. Petersburg with the hope of improv- Sng their fortuties. A few such men, and only such, aro much needed, and would be liberally compensated. Seve- ral competent marine engineers might find employment at good wages, but they must be endowed with a Tiberal upply of patience, as public men take their time in no- ticing applications. I’ have just succeeded in getting an eppointment in the navy for a young engineer New York, at a salary of 2,000 rubles per annum, or some- thing over $1,500. Several pitiful humbugs in the shape of pretended in- ventors, and buffoon tourists, claiming military titles, have paid this city a visit from the States during the past year. These fellows would have been of serious injury to our national reputation if it had not been for the neu- tralizing presence of myself and a few other Americans, who have conducted themselvos like sensible men and true republicans. I trust no new instalment of the same stock will come out after my departure. I am going to Moscow and the other cities of the interior, in a few days, perhaps to-morrow morning, and will again write you, either from there or on my return. I see, on reading the full details of the © articles, that the Russians are prohibited from building war vessels in the Sea of Azov, or any of the other waters emptying into the Black Sea. This makes the terms for them rather worse in appear- ance, though in reality it will not affect them a particle. A very few years will demonstrate this. New Patents Issued.
