2 sentiment of good will between France ard Russia Was never stronger than now. ‘The visit of the Emperor and Empress to Cherbourg is to be celebrated with extraordinary magnificence. Every vessel of the squadron in the roadstead is each to fire three broadsides, and, in addition, all the forts which surround the entrance,to the number of as | many oe nee, are being armed with cannon, to fire three times also. The Emperor will be accom- panied trom Cherbourg to Brest by three ships of the line, which will return the salutes, Altogether the thunder from gunpowder bids fair to be truly formidabie. ‘The export trade continues Airy dull. Some few commissions have been executed for America, but of a very limited extent, and the goods have been for the most part purchased either for cash or very short credit, manufacturers and merchants still refusing to & back to the old system on which business was ‘one with America before the late crisis.

Heralds at-arms in their superb costumes of blue velvet, covered with golden lilies, opened the march, followed by the band of the mousquetaires of Aglagnan. Then fol lowed the Master of the Ceremonies, in a magniti- cent dress of black velvet, accom} by a squad- ron of mousquetaires, represent by the soldiers of the regiment of chasseurs of the garrison, marching along in brilliant costumes. Next came the King’s press. dressed in dark blue and red velvet, followed y the bearers of the King’s canopy, in crimson vel- vet, ornamented by fleurs de lys and re iral the royal crown. At length came King Louis XIV., dressed in a magnificent costume of the period, of blue velvet, richly embroidered with gold and orna- mented with precious stones, ribbons and lace. The boots were ed with Venetian point lace, ana ‘he bat ornamented with white feathers and a large diamond stud. The peruke worn was the amail one of the time of Louis XII. The King was represented by a youth of fifteen, Louis XIV. being, infact, at the time of his entry into Rouen, tourteen years of age. Then came Cardinal Mazarin and the Queen Mother. The royal cortege consiste d of detachments of mousquetaires; a splendid | eee covered with escutcheons bearing the arms of Franc the province, the Lieutenant General of the munici- pality, &c., &c., together with groups of pages, squires, high functionaries all superbly arrayed; and then, in a coach, followed the representatives of the illustrious Pierri and Thomas Corneille, a native of Rouen. The poet was hailed hye acclamations from the assembled thousands. hind this carriage came a croup dressed in different foreign costumes— Spauish.

A legi timist, accidentally passing through Rouen, might have fancied that the g time at length ar- rived when the King and bis staunch adherents had ot their own again. Snch are the amusements ofthe reach. They seem strange to our eyes, but are doubt- less well calculated to keep up portions of national ey, among the vulgar. Indeed, it is worthy of remark that the uneducated classes in France are ta re au fat in their national history than are ‘sii classes in England; and it is, possibly, owing in some measure, to spectacles of this character that they are so ‘The performers of the Theatre Francais from the 14th of this month will play at the Italian Opera, while their own house is un gy airs.

Yesterday the King arrived here from Potsdam, and started the same afternoon for Tegernsee, the tropical beat having subsided within the last few days so as toallow him to undertake his journey rather sooner than was contemplated. It will de- pend upon the issue of this expedition whether he will be enabled to resume the exercise ot his regal | funetions, or whether the provisorium that has exist- ed since last October, when he was seized with that cowplsint which has incapacitated him ever since from attending to affairs of State, will be converted into a veal bona fide regency in the bands of his brother. The latter alternative is by far the most probabie, there being hardly a doubt remaining but that the King’s malady, though driven from the citadel ot life by the efforts of medical «kill, has final ty settied on the brain and reduced bim toa condition of mental imbecility that admits of little, if any hope of improvement. It is not anlikely that the Chambers may be called together before the Prince ot Prussia asenmes the reins of government in the qvality of Regent; bat it would be more in accord: ance with the maxims of the present administration the Prince bimself, ifou the of his provisional authority—which has een prolonged till the 23d of October next—be re to be constituted Regent by a mere act of royal prerogative, and the Legislature only convoked af. terwards to receive the announcement of a fait ac. compli. for which their consent is neither asked nor required » the character ratic Of couge the anticipated change in the supreme | direction of affairs gives ri e to many hopes and ex. pectations, and to all the party manaovres and un- derhand totrigues that are used in such cases all the world over. For the last few years the Prince of Prussia. once the most unpopular man in the king- dom, bas gradually re-habilitated himself in pablic opivion; the ultta reactionist faction, who formerly looked upon him as their especial patron, regard him now with a suspicion and distrust which they are afraid to display openly. but the expression of which leaks out occasionally in spite of themselves: while the constitutionalists are sanguine in their expectations that the Prince, tangbt wi experience, wil! ultimately discard the tradit the ancien and devote nimself sincerely to the task of building up the liberties of Prussia on a secure and permanent foundation. The liberal con- servatives, or even of the juste milieu, who generally voted in the Second Chamber with the constitutional party, bat form a@ separate faction of their own, are in still bigher spirits. Severd! of their members are intimately connected with the heir apparent and they are persuaded that as soon as if libert» to choose his own ministers he will not lowe a momeut to calling them to office.

It has now been resolved by the Minister of Public Instruction to enlarge these grounds by annexing a plot of land that borders on the rear of the garden, and has jaat been purchased by government. The extent ot this field is about twelve acres, part of which has been laced at the disposal of the “(Association for the Extension and Improvement of Horticulture in Pras- | sin,” to try the cultivation of new vegetables, foreign grasses for onttle teeding, flowers, kc. The Botani- cal Gardens are under the care of M. Luré, a descen- dant of the French refugees, who, driven from their unbroken series of villas planted by country b; ious persecution, first introduced ornament aatog, sheng with many other arts and sciences, in the then semi-barbarous regions of the North. M. Luré is director general of the royal gardens, and itis by his advice that the present addition of territory has been made. Ona portion of this ground he intends to erect a new palace house, nrrounded with plantations, lawns and parterces. The test part of the whole plot, however, abont eight or nine acres, will be ger pp to an arbo- retum, or 1 for the raising of every species of foreign tree and plant that will thrive in the open air in this climate. In laying out the arboretum, es- pecial care will be to the arrangement of the various genera, taking into consideration the difference of id and situation, so as for instance to place all the birch, oak, alder, maple, linden and other trees together, and yet so separated that each of them may be able to ‘develope itself. Through this classification an opportunity will be offered to the forester and student of botany to examine the growth of the various species of trees as he sees them next to each other, and form his ie eat accord- ingly. The palace house is to be 170 feet in length by 64 in depth, and will consist of a central building and two wings, the former 54 and the latter 52 feet in height. These dimensions appear small in comparison with the palace house at Kew, which is considered the finest and | in Europe, its total length being 362 feet; but the sum of £30,000 | or 200,000 thalers, that was spent upon the erection of that magnificent building, would be thought enor- mous in this country, and so they will probably be content with following their English prototype in its general arrangements, i.¢., the perforated castiron | flooring, under which the pipes are laid for warming the conservatory with hot water, &c. As it is, the expense of repairing and rebuilding the hot houses and green houses, which are partly of the last cen- tury, and of importing costly exotics from distant regions, will not be inconsiderable. There will be a large saloon and ante-rooms for the meetings of the “Association for the Improvement of Horticu\tare,” and also offices for the gardeners and other fanc- tionaries. The aforesaid society deserve great credit for the introduction of fruit and fruit trees, plants and flowers, into this barren, sandy country, where nature has done so little, and almost everything must be produced by art.

Some recent conversations in the House of Lords have satisfied us that we are not going out of our way, or dragging other —_ out of theirs, in ex- posing, as we did some months since, the origin and character of the Monrovian settlement on the coast of Africa, Any of our readers who may happen to remember what was told in our columns of the deri- vation of the population of Liberia, the condition of industry there, the temper of the immigrants, the prospects of the colony, and its relations with the tribes around, must have had their attention fixed by the disclosures in the Lords on Thursday last of the connection between the case of the Regina Cali and the “free laborers” of Liberia. Lord Malmesbury evidently knows less than he ought, or be would not have said (as the report makes him say) the Liberian repnblic is “the great sanctuary of free Africans: whether it be true or not that it is“ very much protected by the English government.” Bui Lords Brougham and Grey could possibly afford him some information, if we may feage by their waruings, that a second statement of the case of the Regina Coeli may require as carefal an investigation as the first; that, in fact, the two statements now made public are simply ex parte on the respective sides. To their warnings we would add another—that the special connection between the new French scheme of transportation of laborers and the State of Monrovia should be well noted and | vigilantly observed. In the despatch of the Minister of Marine to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in France, read by Lord Malmesbury on Thursday, the stitement occnra that the Regina Coli was at Cape de Monte last October. Lhe Caief of tbat place strenuously urged Captain Simon to fe\ect for his operations that portion of the coast above al! others; and they both proceeged to Monrovia, the capi. ot Laberia, in order to settle the pretim! of the affair. The President of that repudii>, on e Captain Svm.o'* pan. approved it eo highly tha: Le perwuased that cfr to carry cot bis operations exclusively tm the terri- tory of the Liberian repablic, The letter goes on to state the terms:—The ot ot voit duty” paid, the number of laborers stipulated lor (400) to be supplied in the course of forty days. | Then comes a sneer at the value of the pi made by certain parties in Liberia against the new French scheme: and, after an account of the affray, some ex- ons of disgust at “the weakness or complicity iverian authorities;” and Lord Malmesbury declares himself surprised that the Liberian govern- met should have allowed the escape of the negroes who swam toshore. Al! parties consider it a puzzling transaction altogether; and the more because the French narrators erpatiate on the great advantage it wall be to oblain thew negroes from Liberia above other places, because they have brought with them Srom Amirica many of theadeas and habits of civili- zation in which they were tl br Ought up. negmes—uative Americans deported to A ainst their will, or in helpless ignorance, are the persons who can probably best explain what- | ever mystery hangs about the are of the Regina Cork, and the conduct of the Liberjan authorities. The socalled rermblic, with its population of free and enlightened negroes, so fit from their jorit, to bless the French colonies, i the depot to whi American planters — slaves whom they do not know what otherwise to do with. We have shown before, and are pre} to show acain, in the words of American r ters them- selves, that “the first object” in establiehing the so- called republic was to relieve themselves “from a epecies of population pregnant with fatare fee and present incon nce; that is, the free blacks. In this object they failed. “Have we not.” the planters inquire, “driven away the red man?’ ‘Who shall say nay when we tell the black man * You ere not wanted?" The black man himself said “Nay.” He was an American, le said, and he chose to live in his native land, and not te be sent nto a barbaric one. He would not go; and one planter ondertook to speak for many in recommend: ing the obtaining of bis “comsent’” “by the gentle dmonition of a severe flagellation.” Some few went under compule' or in ignorance; bat few of theeeremain. All who could eseape before they were laid low by starvation and disease, or im- prisoned in what they call w hell upon earth, by ab solute destitution, have fled from the trap by every possibie opening. It may be that some ventured nto the French ship as a better place than they were leaving: but the trath ie, the free blocks from America are a mere fraction in comparison with Slaves too strong in mind, or too weak he slaves. n body for their owners’ convenience, form a part the popniation of Liberia; larger por ) consists of slaves emancipate Jeath of veir masters, who, having nsed the as life laster, frequently left directions that eased they shonld be deported to Africa, and i ont pon the shore there, like chattels a the ) #, be wuse the slave States allow no free nercroes within their lines.

We may see how it is pro- bable that this particular set of bey aap was not kid- napped up the country, but might be easily temy to go on board, in hope of leaving a place where they “could not live,” as their wretched forerunners have often said. We may understand how, if they found themselves treated as slaves on board, the remembrance of their former slavery prompted them to escape. We may understand how a good deal may remain to be explained; and also how, amidst sundry cross purposes, there ved be “a providential arrangement,” as clerical slaveholders are wont to say, by which the negroes whom it suits American planters to deport may find their way to French colonial planters to whom it is convenient to import them. Liberia has been repeatedly exposed as a slave market since it was arepublic. It is for the parties to certain treaties to see that it is not so now, by a circuitous,any more than a direct process.
