Great exertions continue to be made in Saint Petersburg for the completion of the electric telegraph to the Amoor.

By means of this wire telegraphic com- munication will be effected between St. Olga, Wiadiwo- stook, De Castries Bay, the port of Novogorod and Nico- layevek. For the greater facility of putting up the lines along the banks of the Amoor, three more iron river steamers of fifteen Lorse power each, and a larger one of thirty-five horse power, have been ordered at the es- tabliahmont of Messrs.

Monsieur Achille Fould, in that council, read to his Majesty and assembled councillors a document that went far to prove to them that ruin, in- evitable ruin, was impending over the Imperial government, unless some speedy measures wero adopted to stop the enormous drain upon the Gnancial resources ef France. The result has been the nomination of M. Fould to the Ministry of Finance, and the public abdication by the Emperor of his preroga” tive of creating at pleasure extraordinary credits and of ‘ ‘upending as ho pleased the peoplo’s money. Henceforth, as recommended by M. Fould, the Corps Logislatif and Senate wili regulate the expenses of the empire, always excepting such cases ae way require im- ‘mediate actionand wheres due report would be after- wards made to the bodice of the State. ‘The other nations of Europe will then be without fear, as they weil know that immediste use of money cannot be obtained to make war, and that votes and resolutions must take place ere immense warlike Preparations be suddenly made.’ This amounts to « confession that heretofore the other nations were right in baving eneh fears, and that their consequent arming was not 80 ridi- culous as the officia! press of thia country bag alwaye en deayored to prove.

Fould's Re-entry to the Cabine-—His Grand Plan for a Budget—Portuguese Diplomacy of Napoleon Queen Irabeiia and the Pope fae. ‘You may be suro the Leesburg disaster is inevory one's mouth, for it is quite impossible to overrate the intense anxiety with which each turn of your great civil strife is watched iu France. The old cry I once bofore noted is again getting up, that the sword of the North is edgeloss for lack of a ducent hilt. With such superior combative material, with such sinows of war, with such unqualified patriotism, what can be the reason, it is asked, that the federal army, or any portion of it, should come to grief? If there is no military talent for strategy, the services of those who have devoted their lives to its study should be accepted, But if there is treachory, ainbitious mediosrity, obsti- nate foolhardiness, of what not, then let it be remem: Dered that civil strive (3 not to be mensured by the ordi nary rules of warfare. Of this the great atruggia of the rival Roses in England, and that of the Parliament with Charlos, is a proof. So with the revolutionary wars here and the great succession strife in Spain. All prevedonts of international warfare were found inapplicable, and wulesa victory with you is to be #0 long pro- tracted as to be shorn of half its ad. vantages you must sdopt some moans of ren. dering this much sought for command as perilous in its failure as glortous in triumph. It cannot be doubt- od (hat the difficulties of the executive ina State where freedom has been a0 large as in America are almost over- wholming in disposing of claims urged by tumid modi. cerities, the only remedy for which would bo the ex- action of such @ forfeiture as would make men’ reflect before they wasted their time in measuring their abilities by’ false standard. A great domoatic event has happened. M. Fouldia duly installed Minister of Finance, and bia re-entry to office is the occasion of an organic change in the national disbursement. Those who have are. fully observed the Imperial course, as it approached the conclusion of that deconnial period which was demanded at the famous coup d'eat in December 1851, anticipated that Napoleon would aotuffer the anni. versary to pass without making some initiation of a libo- raicharacter. It will be romembered that in the Presi. dential programme of 1851 a promise was distinctly mado that the extra powers demanded ahould ba abrogated after ten years. Subsequent events reviving the empire might ‘be supposed to have obliterated all such engagements; but still a belief prevailed that after the freedom of dis- cussion on the Imperial speech which was granted thi time last year, other concessions must speedily follow, and the result shows that this was not erronoous. Itamay be recollected that inthe great financial dis- cussion which occurred im the Chamber in 1860-61, two amendments were presented: the firas signed by M.M- Darinon, T. Favor, Picard Henon and Ollivior; the second by M.M. Denik, Ancil, Drouot, Ouword, Gouin and Ye- ron, the general purport of which was that supplomen-" tary and extraordinary credits should not be sanctioned to trouble the harmony of the budget. So, therefore, it {s to the patriotic efforts of this small minority that this concession is to be attributed. The Emperor, of course, ia fully aware that the best chance of perpetuating his dynasty is to leave behind him a self-acting governmental machine. Now that the ten years have clapsed which ho asked for aa a dictator- ship to put the State in order, it is necessary, with the hope of that dynasty not yet six years old, to think about tho future. Certes, @ future aye will speak of his doings for the prosent with something like wonderment and amaze. Never in the history of mankind was so much “reoonstruction’’ effected in a like period. Tho last ten years have seen the capital razed from ite foundations to be “rehabilitated” with a chain of streets, parks, squares and boulevards, that, under ordiaary cir. cumstances, would have been more than sufficient for # couple of centuries. Will London do half as much in such a period of time? But the whole country has been traversed with gigantic railways, canais aud jeading by- roads. Its provincial towns have beeh the reflex of the capital—everywhere demolitions, everywhere recon. structions, of stupendous character. ‘This could not go on, We should think not, indeed, Ik is ensy to foresee, as M. Fould himscif says, “that without a change we shall aoon find ourselves besot with serious embarrass- ments.”’ It is evident that the Emperor hag known this, as everybody else has, long ago, But a man in his situation must ‘go on.” He cannot afford to wait. He bas no ancestry, and is very uncertain about his posterity. As his progenitor did something for the fame of France in Europe, so must he do something in France in its own eyes. He has chosen the legs striking but more enduring Pe nd it may be fairly doubted whether in history ow ©The Great.”? } not carry away the palm from bis namesake— In plain language, however, this concession to the Chambere, which 'is to be made on the tenth auniversary of the day in which bis Majesty broke @ most solemn oath ‘for the — exi- gencies of the occasion,” reads very like the bandit’s wi: “I have robbed, massacred when necessary, car- ried both fire and flame, but all to equalize the order of things—to take from those that hath and give to those that hath not. Iam now getting old and weary of life; miy son is to succeed me; perhaps be may not be able to do ali these things with similar tmpunity—‘iterari ani- mam’—take back your own, enjoy the fruits of my mis- doings, if so you think them, and let my son reign over you, aquiet, honest man. Ido this the more willingly as perceiving that J have carried on the game as long as I can. The death of the King of Portugal is an insignificant event. The Emperor was always most attentive to him, and the efforts made to insure his good will have been extended to the Duke of Oporto, the present King. To fap and undermine, rather than blow up, is the genius of Napoleon III.; and while he is clearly anxious that his power to do the latter should not be misunderstood, he leaves no mistake about the policy he desires to pursue. Portugal is to England what formerly Scotland was to | France; and to weaken this bond of union is the key-note of his system. The Charles et Georges affair was an epi- sode which everything bas been done to mitigate, and the Anglo-Frauco treaty by which Portuguese winds aro 80 deteriorated has shown Portugal the folly of relying | too implicitly on her ancient ally. ‘The Emperor is essentially wise in his generation, and the following paragraph in M, Fould’s memoir—of course, Submitted to bis Majesty before publication—shows that whatever concession his Majesty makes, he docs not lose {| Sight of a grest ant paramount policy, Admitting | Says the financier—oven against probability—that war | breaks out, The warlike habits of the nation, its love of glory, its coniidence in the chief it has given {tgelf, are @ | Sure guarantee, Never has our gountry ned d hotter en een Y remained deaf to The phrase in the Que. i. o.

It should be noticed that Hutzen, though ‘himself of German extraction, is an out-and-out Panslavist, or ‘‘old Rugsian,’’ and hates a Teuton worse than a Tartar. Here‘s another ingtance in the Russian emigration, re. resented by Prince Dolgorouky , author of ‘La Vinte rue fr Russis,'’ who has no connection with the socialist party, except in the common destre to bring on a revolu- tion, Indeed, Von Altesse le Prince Pierre Viaditnico: vitch Dolgorouky, descendant of St, Michael, of Chomi- goff, and sovereign lord of Obolinsk and Taroussa, is a» very different person from the plebian, Mr. Hutzcn. ‘His ideal is an aristocratic monarchy on the model of that of Poland in the seventoenth century, whore the king bad very little to say, the people nothing at all, and tho whole power was in the bands of the nobility.

A murmur went through the crowd:—Gossudar venoolea (the Emperor is come back)—Gossudar sders (the Emperor is tere); the stolid features of the peasants and artisans wore lit up with a feeling of inteuse pleasure, and at that moment any one who had ventured to utter a feditious speech would have been roughly handled, The upper classes in Russia have been long industriously em- loyed in erecting a barrier between themselves and the lower orders of society, and now reap the reward of their pains; their opposition against government is paralyzed by the indifference or hostility of the people, and if they should attempt an outbreak it might easily lead to scones to which the massacres in Gallicia would be mere child’s play.

(Loud applause.) THR QUESTION OF ARMING THE SLAVES AT THE SOUTH. om the London Post. (government organ), Nov. 16.) There is one iaraane connected with tho sailing of this (the waval) expedition which in the present atti- tude of the contending parties scems to us to be especial. ly deserving of attention. In the general instructions isaued by the Secretary of War tothe commander of the expedition—and these have been published in the New York papers—we find for the first time in this unhappy war a distinct reference on the part of the federal gov- ernment not only to the ‘‘domestic institution” of the South, but to the policy to be pursued respect: it. Hitherto the language of President Lincoln haa singulariy reserved upon this interesting t. Both he and bis colleagues appear to we care- fully refrained both from saying and doing any- thing which might exasperate the South upon this moat delicate and lexing question. The prompt disavowal of General Fremont’s proclamation in Missouri was in strict accordance with the general policy of the federal government, which has evidently been based on the no- tion that a reconciliation between the slave and the free ‘States was still practicable. The instructions now issued by the Secrotary of War to the commander of the nava ‘expedition seem to indicate parture from the policy of forbearance hitherto pursu As to their immediate object there can be no doubt whatever. ‘Fugitives from labor” can only mean run- away slaves; and all such who contrive to escape from their masters and join the fedoral oxpedition will be henceforth employed aud paid by the federal commander. When copies of these instructions find their way into the Southorn States, which they probably already have dono, a direct and strong inducoment will be hold out to the slave population to join the Northern invaders, It is true that any “general arming"’ of the nogroes for mili- tary service {8 for the presont forbidden. But it 3 r from the terms of the instructions that it will depend entirely on the discretion of the commander whether or not he willemploy bodies of armod slaves to act with his troops under certain circumstances. Fie is alone to judge whether these will justify his employment of such aforce, A terrible responsibility is thus cast upon bim, a weapon of pects power is placed in his handa, and it is more t an probable that results of the a portant kind will follow. eyo la “told indeed that the slaves in the Southern States have no dosire to achicve their freedom; pay, more, that they would, if necessary, take up aris in defence of their masters. If this be so, tho in- structions which we have quoted must prove ® dead letter. But this theory isso improbable a one that we attach but little credit to it. Hitherto we have had no opportunity of judging of the true fectings of tho slave population with reference to the presont contest. But sf the powerful force which is now on its way to the South should ostablish itself, as it is intonded to do, m oue of tho slave States, we Aball quickly see whethor or not tho Doast of the Confederate loaors is likely to ba roalix od tari. that I of: the year: will: barely-reaoh tho@um it was nized in woe kind of ing back the seceding How ara wo Co interpret this at the federa} goverameat, and whas Loven | roven partially Aucoesatal ? 6 ArO grave quostions, which time alons can solve.

(From the London Post (government organ), Nov. 16.) ‘Tho imperial manifesto published in yesterday's Moni tur marks an important ¢ in the financial Gal history of modern France. The negotiations re- wpecting the terms on which alone M. Fould would con- sent to re-enter office, with # fair prospect of steering the govornmoent through its present difficulties, havo been brought toa auccorsful issue—to one cqually croditable to the plain spoken statesman who has addrossed to sovereign thove counsels which powerful monarchs ‘seldom inclined to haar, and to the French Einperor, who has.¢o frankly and $0 promptly accepted his counselor's advice. BYFORT AN: ‘The Fmperor of the Frenoh, in announcing to his sub- Sects, by moang of the letter which he has ad- dressed to the Minister of State, his intention of voluntarily surrendering’ the prerogative enabling him to open fresh credits in the absence of the Chamber, virtually acknowledges’ that the power of the the purse shall again be vested in tho representatives of the French people. The Emperor tells the French people that the Senatus Gonsultum to be submitted: to the Senate on the 2d of next December will embody the surrender of the right hitherto posseased by himof oponing extra ordinary credits, The power of the purse will return, absolutely and exclusively, to the constitutional guardian of the national purse. Jn making this announcement the Emper es utterance to the hope that, by so doing, he may secure tho right administration of the finances. Nayolecn III. then informs the French people, and his words were doubles intended to inform other Kuropean peoples be- sides the French, what principles have guided hin in the course which he has now taken. The theory of divine right had justzbeen cnounced at Konigsberg, in the Emperor's letter tothe Minister of State the theory of lar sove- reignty is proclaimed afresh at Paris. There are rulers who profess to draw their origin from certain mythic gods or demigods. Thoir heaven-sprung attributes must never be scrutinized by unhallowed gaze, or touched by pro- fane and worldly hands. Fnshrouding with an awful mya- tery their celestial powers, they are doubtless oniy faithfal to their origin. Napoleon Ill. claims also to be faithful to his origin. About that origin ther no mistake, He is the nephew of the Corsican lieutenant who, afterwards, at the height of his powor, declared, ‘“Goneral, Consul, Emperor, T owo all to the poopie.” “I hold’ no pre: rogatives (the Emperor says) as a@ sacred deposit which must ever remain untouched, or as heirlooms in my family, which were held by my great grandfathers, and which must be again held unimpaired ‘and undiminished by my great grandchildren. 1 was chosen by the people, Lam here only to ropreseut their interests; that is my sole raison dere as a sovercign. ‘Whatever prerogatives I possoss that shall be found use- leas for the public good I am prepared at once, without a moment's thought, to scatter to the winds, just as I am prepared to hold firmly in my grasp whatover power shall be required to maintain the poace and prosperity of France.’ This is fenuine 1789 doctrine. I bears a wonderful family likeness to ihe old doctrine of 1688, It is true that, though the theories are pretty much the same, a vast chasm separates the practice of the two revolutions. There is tho more reason fo deplore the folly, we may almost 3a; the monomania, of the political antiquaries, feudal or royal, who, by their irrational att-mpts to galvanise indo a fictitious life the seventeenth century theories of Divine right, havo almost tempted their contemporarics to overlook and to forgive the excesses of popular revolutions. ‘The Imperial manifesto has, however, practical side, far more important than its mere theoretical aspect. its practical side, as regards international relations, is faith- fully reflected in the language of M, Fould’s programme, that the unrestrained command of the resources of France creates distrust in foreign Powers; that the distrust bas called into existence vast armaments; that, consequently, the surrender of this arbitrary power is the first condi- Cion of confidence to France, and of general tranquillity to Europo.
