THE SUCCEYEION, The Prince Imperial was ten years old last March, and the Emperor was fifty-eight in April. Eleven years must therefore transpire before te Prince attains his majority, and the Emperor, if he lives till that time, will be in his seventieth year. To this desire to preserve his health and thereby prolong his life, ia undoubtedly due, in great part, to the Emperor's course before, during and after the German war. He wants peace and qui das little annoyance as possible, If, m endeavoring to obtain this he does pot succeed in keeping his lamp of life burning till the much desired epoch, he at least wishes to teave France at peace, with as few complica- tions as possible to embarrass his amiable, good, but by no means profound Eugenie, SEEKING IMPROVPMBNT. He certainly is paying great attention to his health here. The imperial family and the membe's of the household and General Fieury and bis family reside in the “Villa Eugénie,” a plain two story brick building, looking more like a barrack in a college than an imperial chateau, Erected on a bluff, against whose rugged front the surf at high tide comes dashing in its fullest force; on all excepting the scaside {t is surrounded by a lawn, where the Prince Imperial plays with the children, any of whom are allowed to enter the play ground. A little wtream, spanned by a bridge, runs through the play ground, and when the Prince is playing with his boy companions none of the little girls who come into the enclosure are permitted to cross the bride, and if one ‘unknowingly strays upon the forbidden ground she ts immediately conducted back by one of the I’rince’s ta tora, who always attend him at his play. Two mourhards, or secret policemen, dressed, of course, in citizens’ cloth- ‘ng, and who always attend his steps, stand near the Gate of the enclosure always while the Prince is playing. COURT ROUTINE LAID ASIDE. ‘There are no court ceremonies, no balls, no receptions, mo formai dinners at the chaieau. The Emperor occa- sionally invites some distinguished person to dino with him en famille, Membors of the Diplomatic Corps, and, indeed, all persons who havo been presented to the Em- Peror, are expected upon their arrival at Biareitz to in- toribe their names in a book kept at the porter’s lodge for that purpose, This list Is submitted to the Emperor, ‘nd from it the invitations are made, VERY DAY LIFE. Any pleasant morning by eight o'clock the Emperor, sometimes alono, sometimes accompenied by the Em- press and the Prince, may be seen walking about the fown, or sitting und-r a pavilion ereeted on the vei edge of the biuif, in frontof the chateau, from whic! there is a splendid view of the Bay of Biscay, extending away into the blue ef the horizon. Occasionatly the Emperor, attended only by his two mouciards, who walk at a distance of about fifty yards bebind him, and by his two great shaggy dogs, takes @ morning stroli upon the beach, just to the left of the ebateau, an extensive amphitheatre, where ladies and gentlemen bathe together At half-past nioe the Emperor, the Empress and the Prince Imperial walk up to the “Port Vieux,” a little jniet, about half a mile from the chateau, where the Prince Imperial takes hig daily bath. Sometimes they sometiines through the village, the 6 Emperor's arm, and leading the litte Prince ther hand. ‘As they pass through the principal strect ot the vil- lage the residents and strangers, without crowding upon them and incommoding their passage, usually stop as thoy pass and remove their hats, the Emperor contina- ally touching his ia response, and tho Empress keeping up a perenniai bowing and smiling. BUG AND HER SOx. A fow mornings since, about hatf-past nine, 1 was sunding upon the steps of my hotel, in the main street of the village, when I observed a tady rapidly climbing tho steep bili’ which leads from the beach. She was dressed in light blue silk, looped up over a short red pet- ticoat, and in one d she carried a long caue, while with the other she was laughingly pulling along a boy of about ten yeurs of age, I saw at a glance that it was the Empress ‘and the Prince Imperial, and when they rouched the street her Majesty hurried the little follow aiong us thongh she were not only anxtous to escap at- wing, but seemingly desirous of d point ag rapidly as possible. In obedience to my journulistic habits, and with an eye to business, I followed them, finding it a little d:fficult, hosever, to keep up with their rapid pace. Upon ‘reaching the “Port Vieux”? I soon dis- vovered why the Empress bad been im such aiurry, A servant was there with some little shovels and picks and tin pots, and General Fleury’s two hand- some boys had arrived in advance; and as it was dead low tide the Empress and the Prince, the latter haviag seized. a shovel and tin pot, commenced climbing over the rocks, which were all bare, in search of shoils, crabs, limpels, alga, sea anemones, or indeed anything which was pretty or wondorfup. ‘Yhese rocks, and the grottoes which the sea ‘hax hewn t of them, abound in marine beauties and wonders, and partcniariy in fine and deileate specimens of sea mosses, They also give ehclier to that horrible flah—ani- mul or devil—tho combat between one of whica and an oid sailor is so graphically and wonderfully descr'!ed by Victor Hugo in his ‘“ Travailleurs de la Mer"—the pieuvre. I saw one of these captured yesterday. and can well imagine that he would be a dangerous fellow to meot in one of thes: dark ocean Caves. THR EMTRERS picked her way over the rocks, leaping from one to an- other by the aid of her stick, sometimes bearing her weight upon the sbonider of an old sailor whe aceompa- nied them, and tho Prince had nearly filled his tin pot ‘with crabs and limpots and mussels, when bis bagneur came down and informed him that it was time to take his bath, The Prince, still clinging to his pot, leaped from rock to rock till he reached the beach, when he ran through tho crowd of ladies and gentlomen standin, there at full speed, clinzing to his tin pot with one han while with the other be continually touched Its bat in response to the salutes which were given him as he passed. Inafew minutes he camo out in his bathing Gross, and was soon paddling and splashing in the water among a crowd of bathers of both sexes, who soem to make it a point to teke their bathe at the same time wiih the Prince Imperi: ™ EMPEROR came walking up later and was joined on the beach by the Empress while the Prince ‘wns bathing, The Em- peror, I think, looks, on the whole, improved since he came here, but still exceedingly pale and careworn, with evident marks of severe suffering upon his face. Boon after his arrivel, the tide by this time having risen considerably, be got into one boat and the Empress into another to take # little row upon the bay. The Empresa Seized the tiller of her boat and acted as steersman, ding it in a very sailorly manner over the waves, and winging it safely back to port an hour after, AT How. ‘The Emperor and Empress breakfast at twelve, and then usually remain in the house or adjourn to the pa- vition where the Emperor smokes his cigar, and about three o'clock they usually go out fora drive or a lone wolk, returning to dinner at seven. Thoy never go ont $n the evering, and before midnight the lights in the villa are ‘tinguished and the irperial family wooing, if not arms of, the drowsy god. A LITTLE Wonk. SUM this quiet recular life which his Majesty is lead- fog, and which tis hoped will ald materially in the restoration of his health, is by no means eniirely free from caro. Tho Emperor always spends an hour in the morning in bis cabinet with bis private seerctary, Mops, ‘Pietri; and there is adircet telecraphie communication between the Villa Eugento and tho Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in Paris, so that the Emperor maybe consulted, and cao forward his reply upon any important matter frm macdiatoly.

QUA BIARRITZ SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Buarnits, Oct, 4, 1866, The Emperor was out yesterday for the first time in five days. I had taken my accustomed morning stroll to the Port Vieux, and had waited there until past the time when the Emperor and Empress usually appear, and was walking back through the street which leads from the beach to the town, when I met the Empress, dressed in deep black, and walking with a long stick in one hand and her parasol in the other, in the middle of the street. ‘She was attended only by several gentlemen of her house- hold. The Count de Goltz, Prussian Ambassador to Paris, and Count Karoli, late Austrian Ambassador tc Borlia, were walking lovingly up from the beach to- gether, and the Empress, recognizing the former, stopped and spoke with him. AN INTRODUCTION, She evidently asked him who his friend was, and told him to bring him back; 80 Goltz shouted out “Karol” at the top of his voice, and the latter returned, and being presented to the Empress—the latter still standing in the middie of the stroet—had quite a long chat with him. While they were still conversing the Emperor and Gen. Fleury, the former driving a pair of black horses, came up in an open carriage, and, stopping, ho had a talk with Count Karoli, and then drove down to the beuoh, where he remained, still sitting in the carriage, about fittecn minutes, when he returned to the chateau. NAPOLEON'S LOOKS, He was looking very pale and ill, and has evidently hud a hard time of it during his recent attack, In addi- tion to an attack of colic anda fever which continued two days, daring whiob he remained in bed, tho Empo- ror has had a touch of rheumatism. It is said that the chateau, which is situated on 2 bluff directly overlook- ing the sea, 1s very damp, and that in great part the re- cent illness of the Emperor and the prosent one of the Prince Imperial, who baz not been out for five By having been laid up with a cold, is attributable to this fact, Itis now thought that the imporia! family wil! Jeave'for Paris about the 10th, and go immediately to St. Cloud, where will remain till the end of the month, when they will, proceed as usual to Compiegne for the month of November. All, however, will, of course, dopead upon the health of the Empcror. GENERAL DIX'S APPOINTMENT. No little excitement as been created here in dipio- matic circles by the news of the sppointment of Gen- eral Dix as Minster to Paris, and Mr. Bigolow, boing now here, is of course asked all sorts of questions rela- tive tothe matter. sir, Bigelow’s intimate friends in Paris have known for, some time that he intended re- signing, and it ts now certain that he asked to be relieved in July last, and that his successor should bo appointed as soon as ble. Mr. Bigelow is ra oo in some lite: which require his whole time and attention, and, if Iam rightly informed, the lovers of historic literasure will ere long ‘ind a rich addition to their store of wealth as one oi the results of his five years’ residence in Paris, Mr, and Mk. Bigelow leave this morning for Pau, and will not, I believe, return to the United States be- fore next oad Apropos of the change, the Patrie, Journal which proivsses to a cortain dozree of officiality, ‘but which, from its untiring perseverance in the work of distorting the truth, has acquired the title of the Journal des canards, published an article setting forth ite opinion that Mr. Bigclow had removed on account of the rather ‘impudent’ and defi- ant tone which it charged him with having assumed in his despatches upon Mexican matters, and that the appoiniment of General Dix was an evidence of a more conciliatory tone which your government had decided to adopt toward Frauce on this subject, We shall see.

In fact Biarritz, in the season, affords all that need be to make eT ee society, a deli- cious climate, splendid drives and walks, a atifat beach and fine sea bathing. Let not people come hore, however, who wish to economize, for it is the most ex- travagantly expensive watering piace in Europe. THE EASTERN QUESTION. Progress of the (: Defeut of the Turco-Egyp A battre, which lasted two days, bas taken place at Keramia, a few milos distant from Canea. The result of the engagement is not known. The Cretan National Assembly have issued an appeal to the Greek nation, calling upon them to take part tn the insurrection. The English and French Consuls in Candia are opposed to the movement. ACortu deapatch of October 2 says:—On the 224 ult, twenty thousand Turco-Fgyptian troops attacked the Greek camp, extending from Maiaxa to Keramia. ‘The Greeks repulsed every onslaught. On the following day the battie was renewed, when the Greeks, who had received reinforcements of two thou- sand men, totally defeated the imperiai troops. ‘The jatter are said to have bad three thousand men taken prisoners, The remains of the Exyptians wero taken on board the Turkieh squadron pear Malaxa, ‘The Turkish troops have been again reinforced by the arrival of eight thousand Egyptians, seven Tarkish bat. talons, and a considerable force of artillery.

The modern Athenian orators forget that since the days of Demosthenes rhetoric has never beon found to be a very effective weapon to conquer sove- reigns, Liberty must be long sought and fought for. The authority of a noble Philhellene of 1823 may be quoted to the Greeks. He said that writers, even If they ‘write their flogors off, will not produce revolutions. Acts and not phrases have ‘caused the past revolutions, and will be the causes of those that are to come. Every day brings to Athens reports of great victories won by the Cretans and of cruel massacres committed by the Turks. Christians are said to have gained ‘rysais im Apokorona, at Maiaxa, at Kandanos, at Kastelli, at Atzipopoulos and St. Myron, Tho Turks are said to have massacred women and children at Canea, Rettimo, Candia, Malevisi and other places, If what has been published at Athens be correct at least one thousand Turks have been killed and wounded ani ono thousand Cretan women and children have been mur- dered. It is certain that at least two thousand Cretans, chiefly women and children, have quilted the island cot the last month and are now at Syra and the reeus. Accounts of a i victory at Vrysais are generally believed though yy are not very satisfactory nor in- telligiblo, Iv is said that four thousand Egyptian infantry were surrounded and compelled to capita- late. The Crotans allowed them to rotire, and pro- mised to allow them to send horses to carry off their baggage on the day following. Hostages wore given on both sides. But after the departure of the Evyptian troops news reached the Cretan camp that the Muesul- mans of Candia had massacred 400 womon and children, and the Greeks then murdered their hostages, and plun- dered the Dasungo of the Egyptiaas. ‘This 1s the account published by the Athonian newspapers, and it is a Strange spoiling of the Egyptians.

After all the declamation of the press it seems as tf the r Cretans were to be abandoned to thomselves and Jett to struggle on until the winter without much assist- ance. If one quarter of the crueities reported to have been perpetrated by the Turks be true, and if the Cre- tans are able to encounter fora single year one-quarter of the sufferings endured by the inuabitants of Felopon- nesus and Continental Greecs for seven years, the Cre- tang will in ajl probability gain their liberty by proving that they deserve it.

[From the London Times, Oct. 4.) The speech of Lord Stanley at the Liverpool banquet ulated, and perhaps designed, to satisfy us that ions with the United States are safe in bis handa, Those who may have been inclined to distrust the friond- ly disposition of a conservative Foreign Secretary towards the American people must have been reassured by the cordial and respectfn! tone in which he spoke of them, and ihe earnestness with which he deprecated the “hasty, portial aud patrionale criticism” of their institutions which Af®@ricans attribute to English conservatives. Lord Stanley ia entitled to full credit for sincerity in the expression of these sentiments; for, whatever may bead of his party, no man weizhs his words more carefully or betrayr less of aristocratic or national preju- dice tn his comments on foreign affairs. It is with some confidence, therefore, that we invite his attention, as well as that of bite, to a difference of long »stand- ing between England and the United States, which, ia- tractable as it seems, may, wo are persuaded, be set at Text if the necessary temper and judgment be brougut to bear upon it. A year now almost elapsed since the correspond- ence between Lord Russell and Mr, Adams respecting the so-called ‘Alabama claims”? was laid bofore the pyb- lic, It was coutinued by Lord Clarendon, but soon closed by mutual consent, and the two governments have tacitly agreed to differ about a point which does not ad- mit of being settled by any gt gl of in. ternational law.
