It is wonderful how natural these mighty f are au fait, and with what avi- dity they seize the occasion when it is permissible tounbend. I have myself had some personal expe- rience as a spectator of such such scenes, and can well believe how little the theatrical representations ordinarily given in journals comport with what really takes place. 1 remember hearing some of the dialogues between the Empress and the Queen on the occasion of the Queen of ye nore Paris; Like t be at sea, because there is a stiff breeze blowing to the land. The coast of Brittany is almost ai ways lashed with a virvient rough water; and her Majesty, te fair Eugenie, bas the reputation of boing « very indifforen galor. So far the royal progress has advanced @ stage, The Ewpercr bas appealed to Normandy whethor six years of Nepoleonic reign is worthy of popalar support, and the response has undoubtedly been in the affirmative. Such is the result of my observation upon the whole of these fites, Ido'not give the result of opinions such as ciroulate in ba!l rooms, bu! those that are to be gleaved from marking the manner acd bearing of the multitude —- from what is said in cafés, responded to in private socie ties, en¢ uproariously proclaimed by farmers in their au beget and operatives in the cabaret. I am not at all surprised that such should be the case in this part of Fracce. The first Napoleon was a great bene- factor to Cherbourg. All thatthe warlike Emperor did mot expend in maintaining the military fame of France he deveted to Cherbourg, and in no part of the country did bis misfortunes and disasters entail lors, peuury and mitery upon so many industrial families as here, Whilst he triumphed Cherbourg proepered; but witb his downfall came calamity and decay upon this city.

The most im- portant member of the English royal party on the poms a mr ps both in his own opinion, and, pel mops, that of others, was undoubtedly the Karl of Malmesbury, the English Foreign Minister. This nobleman is very of having a page in histo- ry. He has lived a great deal abroad, and believes Himself to have a natural aptitade for the Ministry of which he is at present the chief. As a youth at Oxford I remember him perfectly, and he exhibited without doubt a certain degree of smartness, but nothing at that time gave one the idea of any great capacity. At Cherbourg the contrast which his manner afforded with that of Count Walewski was not in his favor. There was a staidness, a dignity and repose in the bearing of the one especialiy waut ing in the other. The English Foreign Secretary was in a state of perpetual motion between Ear!

Insuch case it is hoped Russia will not again be left exposed single-handed to the attack of a formidable coalition. The policy of France has evidently undergone a radical change, and in the event of « second Oriental war she would not appear in the field a second time as the defender of Turkish humanity and civilization. The power of England is paralyzed by the troubles in India, and Sardinia would be sure to follow in the wake of France and Russia. At present Austria is the great champion of the Turks, and the partiality she evinces towards them in their struggies with the Christian population of Bosnia and Servia is deeply resented here, and commented upon by the Russian journals in no measured terms. Whether the approaching concentration of a large army in Poland is intended as a hint that Russia will not look tamely on if the Austriansshould proceed from the moral support of Turkey to an armed interven- tion in her if, is a question that is warmly dis- cussed in public, and, t th denied offically, it is certain that it will be generally considered as such. The Emperor will leave St. Petersburg for War- saw on the 25th of this month, and he will find as- sembled there the whole of the army under com- mand of Prince Gortschakoff, consisting of the First, Second and Third oorpe whieh even on the peace establishment cannot be less than 100,000 strong. It is rather a curious coincidence that while the Russian and Austrian press are carrying on a war- fare of mutual abuse, and the attitude of the two chen ip towards each other is not much more ‘iendly, the representative of Austria at this court, Count Valentine Esterhawy, has just robbed us of our most famous belle, who is no less admired for ber own beaur yeux than for /es beaux yeux de sa cassette—the Princess Kotchoubey. This lady may be said to have a European reputation, her beauty and her wealth, her magnificent palace, her spark- ling diamonds, and her even more aparziing eyes having been the admiration of all beholders at the coronation in Moscow. She is the widow of two of the richest magnates of Russia, Prince Belos- selsky Belozersky and Prince Kotchoubey, and after the death of the latter had refused some of the first persons in the Empire, among the rest Prince Dol- goruaky, Minister of War under the late Emperor ‘icholas. She has now bestowed her band and all that appertains to it on Count Esterhazy, a gay widower of forty-five, to the unspeakable mortification and des- aa of all ourdandies, who arefarions at having this prilliant prize carried off by a foreigner, and above all, by an Austrian, This intelligence arrived last week from Wiesbaden, where the Count is spending his six month's leave of absence, and where it ap- pearsthey met and renewed an yg Gaetan that had commenced in the sa/ons of St. Petersburg, and has led to this unforeseen result. By the last despatches from Hong Kong we iearn that the steam frigate Askola had at length reached that port, and that the balance of the squadron un- der Admiral Kuzactsoff, was hourly expected. Count Potiatin was still at the mouth of the Pei-ho, in his little steamer, acting the part ofa mere looker on, while “the French and Engtish were batterin: down the Chinese fortifications. This reinforcemen’ will enable him to take a more active share in their operations, unless, indeed, government should have forbidden him to engage in actual hostilities with the Celestials. This, however, is not considered probable: on the contrary, if the report should be confirmed that the Emperor of China is about to evacuate Pekin, and retreat into Mongolia, Russia may be called upon to co-operate with the allies by land as well as by sea. General Mouravieff has collected a force of about 10,000 men on the Amoor; they are mostly Transbaicalier Cossacks, who bt not be very efficient in European warfare, but would easily Bt to rout whole myriads of Chinese. If Mouravieff crosses the frontiers and threatens the Bogdokben from the north, while the allies are advancing from the South, it is difficult to imagine that even Chinese obstinacy wil! be proof against such a conjunction of , hostile elements. To to their embazrassments, the roving tribes of Mongolia and Manchovia are | disaffected, and far from opposing the march of a — Russian army, they are more likely to joiu the inva- ders, and to assist them in penetrating into the heart of the Chinese dominions. So at least we are in- if the | formed in letters from Trkotsk, which for some time | ay have been descauting on the hatred entertained | »y the Mongols for their Celestial taskmasters. aad | on their willingness to exchange the rule of the brother of the Son and Moon for that of the White | Tsar. An illustrious traveller, Prince Albert of Prussia, has just been making a pilgrimage to the late seat of war in the Crimea, and paying a visit to Sebastopol, | which is slowly emerging mu its ruins. The streets | of the debris that encumbered them, nay houses and public edifices have been | rebuilt. and other measares taken to restore it to its | previous condition, but several years will —— t ged elapse before this object is completely attained. | seems the American company who were en; last summer in coking the sunken ships, and who | were so unsuccesefal in their endeavors that it was | thought they had abandoned the job altogether, are | at work again, and this time, it is said, with more encouraging results. | understand a forty-four gun | frigate been raised, and it is now in Se- bastopol harbor; though, after what was stated con- cerning the ravages of the feredo navalis, i should lly imagine she could be sea-worthy, at any rate, \after undergoing such repairs as would be almost equivalent to building a new ship. The vessels that were raised by the exertions of the Rossian naval authorities in 1856, about twenty in number. though mostly of a smalier size, ‘were comparstivel¥ uninjured, and several of them now form part of the fleetof the Black Sea Steam Navigation Company, and are plying be tween Odessa, Constantinople, Marseilles, &c.: but 7 submerged for a few months. ‘ommercial asanciation um.
