It was a perfect triumph by antici pation. As if this strange man of silence had fathomed beforeband the secret depths of the wayward people he holds under rule, be refused to avail himself of any of the veval precautions, such as lining the paxsage with milita- ry, extra bodies of police, &c, The carriages which con veyed him to the point de depart were wholly unprotect 60, »pd as they slowly emerged from the graod cover of the palace, under the covered gateway, into the Rue Rivoli, the whole Jength of which they were to traverse, and which was linea on either side by a dense mass of spec- tators, ope almost trembled—knowing the discordant elements which compose a Parigian crowd—for the result of the experiment. ‘It was about half-past five o’clock that the Emperor, attired in the undress of a general officer, wearing on bis head a small Repi,{n place of the usual cocked hat and plume, appeared, accompanied by the Empress. A smail escort of the Cent Gardes precedea and followed him, At firet all was silence, as slowly the carriage and four moved down that noble street, The arcades contained aliving mass of gazers. Gradually the simpie cortege drew near towards the Palais Royal, in the Place of which was drawn up a Uense crowd of citizens, and now the air was rent as by aehock of thuoder. Simultaneously all mouths were opened, all tongues bad but one thbme. “Vive Napoleon!” “ Vive UImperatrice!”’ ‘Vive le Libe rator d’ Italie!” broke out in hoarse sounds from above below, and on all sides. The win tows, ba'conies aad door- waye were all waving witt hate, handkerchicfs, and every insignia of sympavby, and whenever it arose the Empress raised ber kerchief to her eyes and sometimes: buried ber face in ber hands, ag if overcome by irrepres sible emotion, The people, rushing from their barriers. threw themselves in the midd'e of the road; and it wus only by the prayers of the Emperor that they would do nothing to delay his departure to meet the enemy, who was expecting him, tbat they were prevented trom drag. sing the carriage themselves. Napoleon, as he gave or ders to quicken the pace as he approached towards the ancient eite of the Bustile, was evidently profoundly moved. On alighting at the station, where the troops aud National Guard were assembled to receive him, teara rolled down bis cheeks, It was indeed a day to be remem bered! For once, all meaner passions seemad to be for gotten. The people were the living representatives of France, whom centuries of glory, centuries of brilliaat achievements in arma, could not satinfy; or—which I be lieve to be more nearly the fact—every man, woman avd child among them believed that they saw in this visible resuscitation of the military splendor of their country the sure approach of that day of reckoning for which, through balf a century, their fathers had sighed. Prince Napoleon, with his youthful bride, had preceded the Emperor to the station of the Lyons Ratiway by about three.quarters of an hour. Here and there, a little vivacity was exhibited towards the Princess; bat no one seemed to have a word of greeting for the Prince. Iu fact, this man appears to bea perpetual cauee of difficulty, At one time a report prevailed that all idea of his receiv ing @ command was entirely given up, and Paris heard with surprise that the only son of the surviving brother of Napoleon the Great was to have no part or share in the regeneration of Italy. Tho trath came out at last, and was, that no officer of acy character was willing to be his Imperial Highness’ subordinate. It is impossible to believe one baif the stories we hear of hia want of courage, and which have caused the following jeu de mots to his discredit—Rendons, Plomb Plomb vaillapt—‘Let us make our mock generai—our general of lead—brave.” Marshal Randon having taken the place of Marshal Valliant as Minister of Law, and Plomb Plomb being, of course, Prince Napoleon. Bat it does seem that £0 uncontrollable is bis temper, that every otber qualification, bowever meritorious, is borne over by it. If threatened, he will incur even the reputation of cowardice rather than give way, and his language on such occasions is so vile and abusive, that even the re- nown of Achilles himself would be necessary to find any apology for it. Before taking his departure his Majesty kissed on both cheeks Prince Jerome, Prince Murat, the Duke of Hamil- ton, Marshal Magnan and one or two more, and then shook hands with the various ministers who had as- sembled to see the lastof him. Then, their Majesties came to the gapgway, as if to take one last look of the people, and again the people, as if intuitively descrying the motive, uncovered their heads, and exhibited the atropgest emotions of sympathy. It was an affecting sight. The Emperor, the Empress, Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clothilde, attecded by Marshal Vaillant and some ladies, took their placer in the imperial carriage, The Empress and the Princess Clothilde accompanied the Emperor and Prince Napoleon as far as Monteran, and returned to Paris tbe same evening. The Moniteur of this morning announces the arrival of his Mojesty a: Mareellies just be- fore twelve o'clock on the ith, and after pursing through a crowd of something like 50,000 people, who fillea the air with their enthusiastic exclamations, the Emperor, with bis suite, at once emoarked for Genos, fa- vored by besutifal weather. The reception given to the Emperor, combined with the mysterious inaction, change of resolution, tactics, or what- ever it may be termed, of the Austrians, has had a most falutary effect upon the funda, and a general opiaion pre- vails that, independent of the popular feeling, so admira- ble bave been the precautions taken that po civil commo- tions during the absence of his Majesty need be appre- hended. As for the loan, it bids fair to prove far more popular and more eagerly sought for than any of its pre- decessors. It will be geen from the following list of the Emperor’s housebold during his absence that the greatest care has been taken to see that the fast frieuda of the Empiro are in the most truetworthy positions. The Marquis de Fay de Lalour Manbourg, deputy of the Haute Loire; Couat de Neimer Rerke; Count de Champagny,deputy of the Cotes du Nord; Count de Lascases, deputy of the Maine-ct-Loire; Duke d’Abrantes, Lieut Col. of the Staff; Count Henrie de Ja Bourdonpaye Cortandec, member of tae Council General of the Morobeban, and the Count de la Poery. The singular change which hes come over the spirit of the Austrians can oply be accounted for by the fact that the deluging rains, the s-vollen rivers, and the letting out of the waters in the rice grounds at the Lometlina— thus flooding a great portion of the country within the area of that province—bave compelled the Austrian com- mander to change or modify hrs original plans, and after baving made one step in advance, to make two in retreat. The French are already rubbing their hands in anticips- tion of making quick work of it. But General Gyulat, the Austrian commander, is unquestionably an able officer. His father served under Wurmser and Froelick, and was an officer of great epirit and energy—as evinced at Hohen linden, in Itaty, and at Dresden and Leipsic. His aon was Minister of War at Vienna in the eventful years of 1848- 49, and for nine years past has been constantly employed in Italy in command of the Fifth corps of the Austrian army. He must necessarily be well acquainted with the country, and with the people with whom he has to do. It was, however, a wise maxim of the great Napoleon that to advance or not to advance was a matter of grave consi- deration, but that when once the offensive bad been as- sumed, it must be sustained to the last extremity, and it ig difficult to suppose that the morals of the Anstrians will not suffer by the present change of plans. The gene- ral opinion 1s that they have tovalty abanconed any inten- tion of advancing on the south side of the Po upon Novi or Alessandria, with a view of cutting off, as was at one tims alleged, the communications between Genoa and Aiesaau- dria. In the midat of the exceeding sanguinences, a few voices are heard admonishing patience aod caution Popular entbusisam, it is said, 18 & gr-acthing, and will do much, but ul whole result must be the consequence of a series of engagements in the field. The austrian army, ‘ag far ag military training can produce perfection, ts in the highest state of efficiency. It is not the loss of @ battlo— it 1a not even continuation of vacillating councils, changes of tactics, &c., that will induce her to relax her hold on Italy. “Beaton at Casale or Vercelli, ut Marengo of un der the walls of Alessandria, Austria will retreat on her fortresses and draw fresh eources from ber hereditary em- oi The campaign is not about to be couciuded in a few weeks, Of cours every occasion is seized of holding up the en- emy to contempt, and the extraordinary proclamations of the Austrian Commander in Chief to the inhabitants of Piacenza gives ample room and verge enough.

The long threatened demand of forty to fifty million thelers for military purposes was announced to the Cham- bers on Thursday by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baron Schleinitz. He stated that the catastrophe which govern- mect had so anxiously endeavored to avert had now, un- fortunately, become an accomplished fact. War had broken out between two of their nearest neighbors, aud Prussia had been obliged to desist from her efforts at me diation, which she bad undertakea in conjunction with Fogiand and Russia, “If, however,’ he continued, “go ment had hitherto considered it their duty to use every exertion for the preservation of peace, they would henceforward direct their whole activity towards its re establishment on those principles of justice whica could gone insure its duration, To- enable Prussia to pursue thie aim with energy and effect in the midzt of universal armaments, it would be necessary to support her political action by military precautions. With this view government nad lately placed tha three corps belonging lo the federal army of Germany in marching order, and had even extended that measure to the entire military force of Prussia. In consequence of this step, it was ia ditpengable for the Legislature to grant them such pecu. biary means as would allow Pruseia to look forward with confidence to every contingency, and to fultil the task im posed upon her by the present crisis of watching over the ssfety of Germany, the gecurity of the national interests and the maintenance of the baiance of power. ‘This communication waa followed by a statement of the Minister of Finance, according to which a loau of forty millions is to be contracted, and ag this suin is not likely to be sufficient, it is propored to appropriate a further amount of ten million thalers, originally voted by the Leg islature for the oonstruction of railroads, which will have {o be suspended till better times, To increase stil! further the resources at the disposal of government, aa addition of twenty five per cent to the income tax, and to the duties upon meat and breed is propored, which, however, isonly tobe levied if the army should be actually mo- bilised, or placed on the complete war esiablisnment. All these demands have been approved of by the Financial Committee of the Honee of Deputies, and they will proba by be passed in tomorrow's sitting of the Cuambers without a disseutient voice, both conservatives and libe- tale being agreed as to the necessity of Prussia’s prepar- ng for any emergency that may occur in the present un- settied state of affairs. There measures, though expected for gome time, have produced a profe.nd impression upon the pubiic mind, Apxious as tbe leading statesmen of Pruesia still are to keep aloof from the complications that have been brought about by the ambition of one neighbor and the obstinacy of another, it is much to be feared that the conatry is slowly drifting into a war that muat be calamitous to its people, and may be fatal to its very existence as an inde- pendent kingdom. The constitution of the Germanic nion is such that if 20 prominent and unscrapulous 4s member of it as Austria is engeged in hos- tilities: with a foreign Power, it requires but a moderate exertion of diplomatic ekill and astuteness ou her part to drive all the rest into the vortex. The majori ty of the petty Kings and Princes of Germany aro par isans of the house of Hapsburg, whom they rerve as tho Tepresentatives of legitimacy and Divine right; aod if one of them, instigated by the cabinet of Vienna, should give orders for his ambassador at the Frankfort Diet to move resolutions involving an alliance with Austria, and a de claration of war againet France,Prussia would unqnestiona- bly be left ia a decided minority, and would either he obliged to submit or to break up the union by refusing to participate in its proceedings. There can be no doubt but hat for the appreheneion of the latter alternative Austria would long since bave instructed her satellites at Frank, fort to bring forward such a motion; but she is well aware that without the co-operation of Prussia it would be of no practical utility whatever, as States like Bavaria, Hesse, Hanover, &c., even though Austrian to the backbono, could never think of drawing down upon themselves the eamity of Fronce without being assured of the protection and aeristance of this country. It is this consideration that has induced Count Buol to temporize, in tho hope of gra dually inveigling Prussia from one position to the other, ‘until she has gone too far to recede; and he is seconded in his mapanvres by the national spirit, which is manifest- ing {tself throughout Germany, and which, in ite patriotic ardor for the Welfare and greatness of Fatheriand, and its traditional hatred of French domination, is unconsciously becoming the tool of Austrian policy. As yet the Praseian Cabinet continue unanimous in their determination to ob: sorve the strictest neutrality; ‘ der of it more zealous in itis the Minister of War.

The operations of the Austrian commanders in Ital; grow cally more mysterious. It seems twat, likein } and 1800, they bave got frightened at their own audacity, apd bait and recoil at a moment when success can only be ecbieved by rapidity and boldvees. The political mistake they committed in assuming the offen was excagabie ‘on pe other supposition then that: leo onslaught on the Piedmontese would enable them to place one envmy hors de combat before the otber could appear in the fivid; but this design, already bulf frustrated py thelr delay in passing the Tichuo, which allowea the French time to throw their vanguard across tho Alps inw Savoy, and to land a secoud corps in Genoa, has now failed entirely through whe eti!l greater dilavort pete of their subsequent movements Instead of march- ing boldly either upon Turin or Alessavdria, avd m»king vee of their superiority in numbers to strike a decisive blow at one of thoee places, they proceeded sails pace, groping their aS It were, firet io one direcsion , \ben ip another, apd now, it are, are falling back oo ports, concentrating tbeir forces bebind the Sema wad the Po, and more inclined to stand ou the defence than to returp to the attack.

Pact ‘of the luggage rooms and ove of the waiung rooms were fitted up with green veivet hangings, but In the interior of the station no other preparations bad been mate than the arrangement of a few flags and a few escutcheoos bearing the imperial eagle. Shortly betore Fix o’clo: Privee Jerome, Prince Napoleon. the Princess Ciotilte, Pripcess Mathi ce, Privce and Vriccess Murat and the Duke and Duchess of Bamiiton had assembied in the Waiting room to recoive their Majesties: as hat also the Duke de Padove, the new Mivister of the Ioterior, M.

On the platform, likewiee, many ladies and gentlemen were collected. At six o'clock the Experor and Empress aurived at the #tation, the troops end National Gnaris presenting armr, and raising loud cries of “Vive UEmperrur!’ Toeir Ma- jesties were received by the Doke de Gailiera and other Ctrectore of the railway.

At ten minutes past six o'clock the signa) was given, and the train departed amidst joud cries of “ Vive l’ Empereur!’’ ‘ Vive U Impéra- don and Berlin Cabinets to guard the strictest neutrality in the present war. This was decided on after the decia- ration of Russia to the same effect, and the explanation given by the French Cabinet. This accord established be- tween the three great mediating Powers is a bappy omen for Europe, and certainly bad this accord been manifested sooner, Auetria would never have made tho audacious ag gression she bas done in the face of all Earope. But tho smell of biood has a fearful influence upon tne revolution- ary population of Europe, aud there are dangers against which no combinations can provide. Commercial and in- dustrial prostration turns out to starve a restless and dis. contented class. These people must fice the country by emigration, or remain to starve or be fed by the State; and if fed by the State, the soldicr’sjration is the cheap. est, and the war footing the best status. This increase of armament not only provokes attack, but actually sug- gests war. No man is so eager for the fray as your new recruit. In the meanwhile, there is the day of settlo- ment between France and Austria, in which Austrian diplomacy will not be allowed to take ad- yavtage of ite own wrong. I mean, that if austria had gone into the , she would have come out shorn of her Italian possessions. If she is beaien by France and driven by the Italian people out of the proviccea, why she only loses Italy; with this advan- tage, that sbe will have inflicted mach injury upon Sar- diais, and drawn France and the revolutionary party into a position from which retreat will be most difficult, be. cavse to restrain the victorious armies of France and Sar- dnis, and settle the foundation of Italian nationality, bring forth a complication which reaches Eogland, To drive Austria from Taly is only tho first step in a Medi- terranean policy by France ani Russia, of which the Crimean war was the pretude, and the Suez canal and the restoration of Gibraltar to Spain, material guarantees, ‘Austria has long premeditated ner attack, Prussian neu: traiitty has restrained her for a time, bat she kaows that principles are stronger thao men, and policy than jances. She knows she cannot perish at once of une fatal maiady Which ebe will breathe in as Turkey dies. She will bea more difficult * aick man’? than the Ottoman, end ip all cases will precipitate, at her own hazard, cither the entire absndéonment by France and Russia of their Mediterranean policy, or @ conflict with England to prevent its realization, A paval war by France and Russia, then, against England, for the command of the Bal- tic, the Black Sea, the Cbhaunel and the Mediterrancaa, may be the object of Austria rather thao the possession of her worthless Itaian possessions. Depend upon it, Aus- tria ts initiaring a deep game, the end of which no one can ticipate. If she wins the entire abandonment on the rt of France and Russia of their Mediterravean and Fastern policy, sbe gains more than the loeses sustained in Italy. If, on the other hand, she so confronts these Powers with the final solution of the conquest of Constanti- nople and the poesersion of the Mediterrancan as to force Engiand into the conflict to prevent this, then Austria bolds again the balance of power, and Germany would be forced into the war.

FRUSSTAN SENTIMENT ON ITALIAN LIBERTY. A Parliamentary Commission had beee sing at Berlin to exumine the excephioual iaws rendered necessary by the prerent crisis ‘The Minister of Foreign Affaire declared verbally before the Commission that if eveu it shou'd happen that the efforts of the Italians to obtain a better administration should degenerate into revo'uonary movements, Prussia, nevertheles, would see no reason for grringyarmed assistance to Austria, The report o1 the Comm ssion contarns tnese woros:—'‘The strorger Prussia becomes by the barmoiy between the King and people, the lees can she intertere by arms ip Coun res where euch barmepy does put exist. Frglaod, it is addet, would remar neutral ag long as ber interests were vosflected, end Prossia simply reserved to herseif the rigbt of qnittirg ber #atchfol attitude the day on whieh other Powers interfered in thig war”? On the 12th ist., after a six tours debate in the Cham- der of Deputies, during which ail paries expressed the sentiment of German natiovality, the loan asked for by the government for the miliary and vaval admiaistra- tion, together with farther means for raising moocy, were upabimovsiy voted. On the following day the Upper House upapimously concurred. [Special correspondence of tbe Nord, translated for the New York Axratp j Rariry, May 9, 1859. The Commistion of tbe Chamber of Deputies charged to examine the projects of law presented by goveroment, and which concern the policy of the moment, have de- posed their reports. The first is simply of & fivancial character, and proposes tbe adoption of the projet sudmit- ted to the Chambers, tbe second is an explanatory memo- rial annexed to that projet. The report ov the memorial is very remarkable. It throws a pew light oo the state of the situation. The com- mission vpapimously approve that the government has taken and conserved, i its character of a great Power, position as mediator from the day that the Italian conflict bao taken, by the ivterference of France in favor of Sar- divia, more spd more serious proportions; aud it con- siders thai the setthng of ths couflict devolves on the united care of toe five great Powers, The mivisters present at the discuesion declared that Prussia from the beginning bad left no doubt as to her view of the affair, Prussia being on friendly relations With all tbe Powers, and moet particularly with Eogland, when the Italian question, in which in the first instance ehe was not directly iptereeted, was brought forward. Had she tken part with Anstria sbe would have been alienated from Russia aod Engiand, and instead of main- taining the peace she woula bave provoked a war; more Particularly that at that moment the conflict did not in reality exist, but oply an apprebension that it would ar- rive, altbough the cymensions were not foreseen, as there existed no precise ditference. By taking part with Austria under guch circumstances, Prussia would have abdicated all proper judgment in the affair, and would have accept- ed the solidarny of a policy that Austria pursues alone, ano ip which Prussia bas no right whatever to participate. The Commission was of opivion toat the conduct of the government in this circumstance was in accordance with, hot oply the interesta of Prussia, but of all Germany, When, even, the struggle between Fraoce and Austria in Itty aboula be the forerunner of other projects and ideas more vast, which might threaten Prussia and Ger- many. it would bave been cottrary to the Prussian and Germsn interests to Dave taken an attitude or euch steps an would bave drawn Germany into a war with France on the borders of the Riuve, aod other dangers perhaps greater still—and ali tbat to prevent a war in (aly. It is the affair of Austria herself to defend her position in italy and ber non-German possessions. This is the more Leto rate t has declared, in the proto- col of April 6, 1818: * The Emperor, in not " Lombardy in the circle of the provinces Delite aa pugs | covfederated territory , wished to prove to the Confedera- tion that he had no iptention whatever to extend his line of defence beyond the Alps.’? The war in Italy might probably cause events to arise that would threaten the interests of Germany; but it is for Prossia alone to judge when such events arrive, if they ‘are of a nature to call forth the defensive force of Ger- many. Austria bas taken, to all at least, the + Ole of aggreseor; abe bas taken this step notwithstanding the remonstrances of England aud Prussia, and all the ar- guments that Austria hag made use of to this moment in LO wise justify this step. Prussia was the more in duty bound to disapprove her, inasmuch as ao erroneous interpretation might nave beea puto her arming her troops, as if to support the ultima- um sent by Austria. The Commission proceeded next to examine the line of conduct ac by Prussia the moment the war should break out. Prussia will watch over the security of Ger- many and ber national interests. and moro especially over the maintenance of the re European. Saree Eotlnialts neccoanoed on ihe aithode ot England
