Tho “confederacy” made an exceedingly bad invest- ment when it parted with the requisite quantity of loose change to pay the passage of Beverly Tucker to Europe. Even were the amount peid in Confederate bonds, the investment is anything but a judicious ono, for there are certain uses to which oven Confederate bonds may be profitably applied, while the value of the services which will be rendered by the gontle Beverly to the Southern confederacy in Europe may bo represented in a variety of ‘ways, 80 as to bring it within the reach of all compre bensions:—Arithmotically, thus: ©; algebraically, after the following form: [. ']; Classically, by sihil; elegantly, by rien, and Germauically, by mix. I suppose that Beverly induced the “powers that be’ of the bogus coniederacy to believe. that he was a person of great influence in Europe, and that his elegant manners, ac- quired during his official residence at Liverpool, would insure him admission into the ‘‘bect socioty,”” and be ‘8 passport, perhaps, to the imperial presence itself. ‘Now, the fact is that Beverly has no influence here, excepting, perhaps, upon the proprietor of the ‘Ameri- an barroom,” whom he may induce, by his winning ways, to trust him for liquor when his funds are ex- hausted, and among the elegant and virtaous females who frequent the Casino and the Valentino, and who are always proud to greet distinguished foreigners. Sv far as gustaining the character of the confederacy in the points in which he is strong is concerned, the business could not have been confided to better hands than those of Beverly Tucker; for ho can drink more whiskey in a shorter space of time, and pay loss for it, probably, than any other chivairic son of the South on the conti- tinent. Outside of this, however, it is greatly to bo feared he will not accomplish mach. He has already had a private interview with the Em- peror; but that was about three years ago, and under peculiar circumstances. It was during tho tume when Judge Mason waa Minister, and when Beverly had come over torepresent the commercia! in. terests of his country at Liver pool. Boing a distinguish. ed individuai, he, of course, received through the Minister an invitation to be preseuted to his Majesty on one of the regular presentation nights. In order properly to sustain his official dignity and that of his government in the eyes of the great ruler of Fi it is related that Bevorly fortified bimself with a dinner, washed down with his usual quantity nous accompani+ ment, to which, indeed, it is ussergod, he added somo— took @ little more than his wont—in short, to uxea common, but In this caso, at least, an expressive phrase, he ‘got'drank before the erowd eumne together.” Hy mavaged to contain hipseif through the presentation ceremony; but after this was over, and the Emperor had gone into the bal! room, and Boverly had revived his deooping spirits by the tmbibation of two or three punches at the buifet. taking advantage of a moment when the Emperor had stepped from nis seat to walk o Littia in thy equare space in front of the imperial plat- form, he waiked upto lis Majesty, held oat his hsad and introduced himselk to the Emperor of the French ag the ‘‘Amorican Consul at Liverpuvi,” and told him ne was ‘glad to sve him.” The Emperor, however, did not appreciate the honor, aud probably tuistaking ‘(+) him for some drunken loater, gave him & wide berth. ‘Sivce then be has had no mterview with bis Majesty,aad pro- bubly will not have for some time to come.

The Princess Alice after her mar- riage will live at Frogmore, and as she is supj to have inherited the talents and disposition of her rin a great degree she will be a real to the Queen, But it is in the order of human events that a turn should cour in the tide of life.

There have been two or three tempests in teapots within the last week, and at times they have threatened, and still do, to boil over. The unanimous report of the committee of the Corps Legisiatif in opposition to the project of the Emperor to gramt an annual dotation out of the coffers of the State to General Montauban, re- cently invested with the title of Count Paliakao, and the probability that their report will be adopted by the legis- iative body itself, has produced a condition of antago- nism between the Emperor and the legisiattve body such as has not before existed since the coup d’das, The re- Jection of the proposition is made upon the’ technical ground that tho constitution forbids the creation of majorats; but there is a good deal of feeling back of all this. General Montauban was one of the companions of the Emperor in his Strasburg flasco, and it is said that it tg more for the purpose ef rewarding an old friend than for any other reason that his Majesty was desirens of securing the dotation. Besides, the people and their rep- resentatives are becoming jealous of the creation of a new military nobility, and the Corps Logislatif also likes the idea of having an opportunity to exhibit its inde- pendence of the sovereign. The Emporor feels the affront very deeply, and strenuous efforts are being made to secure the passage of the bill in spito of the recommenda tion of the report to the contrary. é & person in Paria, who obtained his knowledge of loca! occurrences by reading the newspapers here, would have very little idea of the excitement, of the noise, and the fear of rewolution which'has prevailed during the past weok,and of the extraordinary precattions which the ent has taken, and the mumber of arrests which ve been made within the last few days.

As I suspected, the intended “demonstration” on the Part of the students and workmen, which was set for last Tuesday (MardiGras), did not take place, The pre- cautions taken Dy the police were such that the slightest attempt at one would have resulted in the arrest of all concerned. As it is, about four hundred arrests have been. and all but the ringleaders have been already eet at liberty.

The official Prutsian Gacetle publishes Mr. Seward's reply to Count Bernstoril’s note on the late difference” with England. The cordial and dignified language of the American Secretary of State has made afavorablo impression On the Prussian diplometists, aad the wuth of his suggestion, that the proper regulation of noutral rights may soon become of greater importance to the Powers of Eastern Europe than it is now to America, is fully recognized. Apamphiet appeared here lately, writtem by a Mr. Hudson, of Virginia, and entitled “ The Second Declara. tion of American Independence,” in which the cause of the South is defended with considorable ingenuity, and an effort made to disebuse the German mind of the idea that the real question at issue is the perpetuation or abolition of slavery. Hitherto he does not seem to have met with much success, as the only paper I have seen it noticed in, and that in not particularty flattering terms, js the National Zeitung. Mr. Hudson was Secretary of Legation at Borlin for a short timo after the resignation ot Mr. B. G. W. Batlor, and was subsequently present at the Prussian reviews on the Rhine, whoro he was taken for @ United States officer. His predecessor, a chivalrous young Louisianian, who woa especially proud of bin do- aout from a brother of Goneral Washington, had resided here severa! years, and bad numeroug, friends and ace quaintances who were sorry to loarn tMAt he hal been Killed fighting in the rebel ranks in one of tie late ac. respectable literary y, contains some strictures on the couduct of England in the Trent affair, which are of interest, as showing the opinions of intelli: geut Germans on this subject. ‘Nothing is clearer,” i, ‘Says, ‘than that, according to the international laws in- variably epforoed by England, America had a right to two Southern agents on board the British mail and to confiscate she vessel into the bargain. But no one in England cared about their own laws; the Press raved and clamored for revenge, and Palmerston, who wanted a fresh dose of populasity’ ty old days, sends @ thunaering note and lots of sbips, by which the gentlemen at the Admiralty earned jots of money. Tn sueh Le a Palmerston is always liboral; it cosis him nothing, and he ig sure to be a gainer by it—in cash, in glory. and in popularity, The disunited States of Ameri- eo, hard pushed by the relentless, implacable South, are weak—or at all events, not strong enough to risk a ae troubles. i courageous; and, sure enough, Falstaff is victorious. America gives in aid begs rdon for acting according to English laws. Even if incoln had not yielded, it would have been the height of madness for England, with her thousand millions of debt and her increasing deficit, to begin a war with America; ‘but who knows what may yet England perceives the of Canada revenged upon America for her defeat in the Revolution- ary war, although, practically, nothiug could have been more advantageous to her to lose the colonies and continue tradiog with them without having her profits curtailed by the charges of administration. But, a long as the monstrous ic\ea exists that the welfare aad Prosperity of nations Mopend upon immense territorial possessions, political influence, tremendous fleets and enormous armies, England willbe firmly persuaded that the extension of her colonial empires snd, if possible, the reeovery of the North America's |, Which they say would rather be inco: ith the old country than reunited with the North, wi be asplendid stroke of Dusiness. It is characteristic, howe that while the ne pt mead appeared to be following the safe Lic! picking a quarrel with America, to got cotton for ‘supplying the factories of Lancashire, the starvinc work- men assemble en masse and pass resolutions stigmatizing the injustice and barbarity of a war with their trans- atlantic kinsmen im the strongest expression.’ The above refers to tho great meeting of operatives in Mary- Iebone, London, on the 27th of Jannary, the resolutions of which have beonsent to Mr. Adams for transmission to the President of the United States. These remarks are the more deserving of notice, as the Magazine is by no means particularly favorable to tho course of the North, and has another article in the same number condemning the civil strife between the two scotions of the Union in tho most unequivocal manner,’and even calling upon European intervention to put an end to it.

Washington's Birthday—Commercial Treaty with Prance— Treaties with Japan and China—A Japanese Ambas- sador Expected, dc., de. ‘The anniversary of Washington's Birthday was cele- brated by a supper at the United States Legation, in the Victoria Strasse, to which all the Americans residing at Berlin were invited, ‘Tho Staats Ancieger publishes the treaties of friendship, commerce and navigation concluded by this country with Japan and China. The former was signod on the 24th of January, 1861, by the Prussisa plenipotentiary, Count Enlenburg, and the Japanese dighitaries, Muragaki Avadsi no Kami, Takemo Droshio no Kami and Kuekawo. Satain. According to # memoir which accompanies ft, tho Prussian Ambassador met with y difficulties in the course of hia aegotiations which ib required all hig energy and circumspection to surmount; and, after all, he was unable to induce the Japanese to insert the namos of the othor German States in the troaty. The docu_ ment in question consists of twenty-t articles and a set of regulations for carrying on thé trade botweon id with the ations of the treaties concluded Japan with the United States and Great Britain. Both partios havea Tight to appoint diplomatic agonts, Prussia to appoint consuls, who are to have the sane jurisdiction as ‘The Jt 1640 guxernment hat up to the time, or at any subsequent period, will be open to Prussian commerce. ‘The treaty with China was signed September 2, 186], | in the nameof all the Gorman States except Austria, after having been long delayed by the refusal of the lomatic agen' atthe Imperial Court; but at same time not to send out such @ funotionary for at least five years after the ratification of the treaty. ‘Tho princi of equality beiug asserted, Prussia could the more easily yield to the urgent wishes of China in thia respect, as her diy intorcourse with the Colestials is not of #0 much im) co ng to make any purticular difer- ence whether she sends them an ambassador in five years or ten, or not at all. right of appointing a Consul General for all China, and consular agents in the various ports, is of more practical moment, and will probably be exercised without delay. The Hanseatic towns are allowed to havo consuls of their own at the ports enumerated in the treaty. In other respects its ‘sttputations are similar to thowe contained in the treaties conciaded by China with America and the three great Suropean Powers, and the tariff and commercial regula- tions are tho same as those adopted Kngland. y include high transit duties, which the Chinese govern- mont cannut take off, a8 tho procue’s go towards paying the war contribution exacted by Yraace and England. It seoms, however, that the representatives of these two Powors have lately entered inty negotiations with the Court of Pekin to relieve trade from ttese onerous im- posts, and if such an arrangement is made the German merchants will have the benetit of it, in virtue of a sepa- rate clause of the treaty. The docament is simmed on the part of China by Chongluen, assistant of the ministry of foreign ailairs at Pekin, director general of public stores; nnd Chong-hoo, honorary under Secretary of State, in- spector-in-chief of the three Northern ports.

Change in French Policy—No Intervention in America— Split Between the King of Prussia and the House of Deputies—Prorpect of a Coup d’ Etat—Princeis Sidonia of Sexcn:-—The Duchess of Mecklenburg, dc., de. Ry the last accounts received hore from Paris it is clear that the policy.of France in reference to the United States hax undergone a marked change, The ardent zeal with which the cause of the South was advocated by the govern- ment preas has suddenly cooled down, and in the Legis- Jatif Corps, the Minister sane por t-feuille, Billault, talks with great unction about “the ties of friendship that unite France to America,’ declares that a rupture between thom is impoesible, and protests agatnat the idea of fore- img the blockade in order to procure cotton from the Southern ports. “Such conduct.on the part of France,” be soya “would be porfect madness; and England, whose interests are more directly concerned in this question, would not think of committing an act that would sepa: rate her policy from that of France, and be disapproved ot by the Emperor.” It is strongly suspected that the secessionist proclivities so ostentatiously paraded by the organs of the French goverument during the progress of the Treat affair, were a mero blind to dolude England into the belief that, in the event of a war with the United States, she would have the sympathies of France on hor sive, which, of course, would not have prevented Louis Napoleon from pursuing quite a diferent line of action after the war had actually broken out. In fact, nothing could appear more improbable and more contrary to the dictates of sound policy than that France should really wish to contribute towards the dissolution of the Union, and thus destroy the only naval Power from which she might expect effective co-operation in a futore etruggle against the maritime supremacy of England, Among experienced diplomatists, therefore, an tmpres- sion existed sl! along that there was a secret motive for the attitude assumed by the French Emperor in the Trent diiienlty, and this opinion is eonfirmed by the revirement that has taken place since the peaceable ad_ jostment of that question. Lord Palmerston, who isan old fox, and knows how far be may trust bis magnani- mous ally, hag been prudent enongh to avoid the trap thet was laid for him; and from the attered tone of the lea ling British journals, which, with searcely aa exce; tion, are more or leas under bis iniluence, from the dis- covery made so unexpectedly by the London 7imes that the American blockade is, after all, tolerably efficient, and from the determmation expressed by Earl Russell to sex pect it, they have evidently arrived at the conctusion that a war with the United States is a dangqrous Juxury, whieh, under the circumstances, they had better not in- duige in, It may be taken for granted, then, that for a riod at least the government of President Lincoin will allowed to with its efforts for the reconstrue- tion of the Union without being threatened with foreign interference, and as every mail from New York is now bringing intelligence of fresh successes obtained by the federal army, we may hope thas the work of pacification will be consutamated before this favorable inter. val fs past.

She ‘was distinguished for her beauty and accomplishments, phen pepe: matches i eee, ae of ing the two ches in when Louis Napoleon was looking out for a wife, he of- fered his hand to the Saxon Princess, as the daughter of a house whose attachment to his uncle had.coat them ‘some of their finest provinces; but her friends not think. ing him firmly enough established on the throne to over- look his deficiency in royal blood, the offer was politely declined. Soon after it was proposed:te marry her te her cousin, the Emperor Francis Joseph; but happening to pay a visit to Munich, he fell in love with another cousin, tho Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria, and ‘poor Sidonis waa left to wear the willow. A few years ago she hadap offor from one of the Czar’s brothers, but this she re- fused, as its acceptance was made contingent upon hee exchanging the Rom n Catholic the Greek. of reli Another near connexion of abe repel tes of tho Grand Duchess ‘of Mecklemburg, depasted this ite 2 Monday evening at bridle etid in consequence which the Court festivities—which had already beon sus- on account of the demise of the again counter. bly at St: Pateraburg—Phe’ Press—Teegraph to. the.

In former times they ex» ited no interest whatever, except among.the privilege-_ ¢lass who composed them, but now they havo almost as sumed the charaeter of parliamentary meetings, and instead of confiriing themselves to the election of mar- shals and members of the civil and criminal courts, they engage in political disoussions so animated and even tumultuous ag to remind one of the ancient Polish Diets. ‘This was especially the case in Moscow, the seat of the Old Russian aristocracy, litzios, the, Gagaring,. the Tolsteys,. the. Menchi. Kofls, &c., many of whom have domains. extending over thousands of square versts, and who always formed a kind of opposition to the central goy ernment at St. Petersburg. Under tho reign of Nicholas these frondeurs did not venture to do more than let of an unusual squib or bon mot against him and his minis. ters, or show thoir dissatisfaction by fcting some persem: who was known to bo in disgrace with the Czar, such ag the late Genoral Yermoloff; but times have changed very much since then. Although obliged to submit to the enfranchisoment of the serfs, the nobility consider themselves deeply aggrieved by it; they would have Deen willing enowgh to grant the peasants their personal liberty, as the example of the Baltic provinces and of Poland has proved that liberty without land renders the peasant more dependant on the owners of the soil, and enables the latter to procure labor om cheaper terms than before; but the cession of part of their estates ke point that touches their interests too nearly for them-te agree to it without a murmur; and murmur they do t= very a@idible tones. At the Moscow assembly somo even: went so far as to propose—indirectly indeed—the repeal of the emancipation law; but, though advocated with great energy by Count Orloff, Davydof and Mr. Bezolre- zoff, the leaders of the reactionary party, this motion ‘was thrown out.
