de l'europe m'est degoutant. England is advancing towards a revolution,—L'Angleterre marche vers une revolution. On my expressing a strong hope and belief that she would be spared it, he replied very decidedly:— Non, Monsieur, elle ne laechappera pas. England, too, has no great statesmen now, no great statesmen of any party, and woe to the country whose condition and institutions no longer produce great men to manage its affairs. France, on the contrary, has the Revolution behind her,—La France a la Revolution en dos,—a phrase which he repeated several times in the course of the conversation. She is like a man who has just passed thoroughly through a severe disease. He is not so likely to take it as if he had never had it. But France, too, wants men of ability; Louis Philippe is the ablest statesman they have had for a great while. And then in France there is such a want of stability. On the 7th of next month I shall have sat in this very chair, as the director of the affa

ning her Frontier posts — defence of Rome by France. The Garibaldi movement seems to be convulsing all Italy, but in many places it is said to have met with decided disapproval. The Italians in Paris report that it is the fixed idea of Garibaldi to provoke, in person; a collision with the French at Rome, and be cut or shot down by these foreign troops, to leave a legacy of formidable fury to the Italian nation, so as to baffle Napoleonic designs. The new French journal, La France, says France will insist upon three things: 1st. The independence of Italy; 2d. The maintenance of the Papacy; and, 3d. The influence of France. It is, however, remarked that the two latter propositions are absolutely incompatible with the independence of Italy. A French steam frigate, from the squadron on the Atlantic coach has arrived at Toulon. She reports that the officers of the squadron employed in watching Garibaldi's movements are actively at work night and day, and that

it was determined that the rebel Garibaldian captured by the royal troops ought to be tried by a special military tribunal; but foreseeing the possibility of such a tribunal, declaring itself incompetent, the question was submitted to the Procurers General. The London Post asserts that the Emperor Napoleon has determined to bring about a solution of the Roman question, and it believes that the French army in Rome will certainly be withdrawn before another year is over. The paper La France, in an article signed "La Guerremiere," argues against the total abandonment of Rome by France, and endeavors to demonstrate the possibility of Italy definitely constituting herself without Rome for her capital. There is a rumor that Victor Emanuel contemplated a personal visit to Garibaldi incognito, and as it was anticipated that as the marriage of Victor Emanuel daughter with the King of Portugal was to take place on the 16th instant, that he would take that opportunity to exercis

on the London money market. The Paris Pays says that Spain had offered to send a new army contingent to Mexico, but the Emperor would not accept it. France will forward thirty thousand men to the Republic. Garibaldi's wound is said to be of a serious nature. He asks to be placed on board an English vessel.--No documents or money were found at the place of his defeat. No decision has been come to with regard to his trial. The people of Italy were in favor of a general amnesty. La France, the new journal of Paris, says that "Italian unity is impossible," and would be dangerous to order in Europe. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Earl of Harrington had died in England. The war between Turkey and Montenegro still raged, after a fruitless attempt at adjustment Omar Pacha's troops had fired the Servian portion of the city of Belgrade, and then discharged musketry on the inhabitants.

May, and whatever is to be done, must be before that . Mr. Stephens has introduced a bill in Congress to employ one hundred and fifty thousand negroes in the military service to supply the places of the two years and the nine months men, whose term of service was about to expire. A motion today the resolution on the table was lost by a vote of to 83. Latest from Europe. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 14th, publishes later European news. The London Times says the result at the battle of Fredericksburg confirms the universal belief that the Confederates are fully able to maintain their independence. Other European journals suggest that the battle may be made the key-note for mediation and compromise. La France says after the battle Lincoln had a long interview with the French Minister and peace party, and thinks this betokens a desire for conciliation. The London Times has another article in denuncletion of Beast Butler and demands his removal.

in this affair; that the French Government, by this new movement, puts itself in an antagonistic position with the Cabinet of Washington. The visit of Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsay has had another result, which is, that it will force the English Government to declare itself with great energy against any project of intervention, which adjourns possibly for a long time the hope conceived by the Cabinet of the to make its policy prevail in the United States by means of a common action. La France says: The note of the does not limit itself to clearing up a misunderstanding. It expresses an idea which is placed in words for the first time, in a formal manner, in an official journal. It is, that if the propositions of France are resumed they will have for their certain object the recognition of the South. Six months ago this recognition only presented itself as an eventual result of meditation, now, in the idea of the French Government, it is no longer the of hostilities

a policy; that humanity and the interests of the world has, in a general peace, invited friendly action. Force cannot secure the welfare of America; that an international judgment would cement forever the foundation pillar of American liberty; that he would submit the matter to the Queen of Great Britain. [Jewett is a Yankee humbug and adventurer, about on a par with Chevalier Wykoff.] The London Times says that the election of Maximilian in Mexico will have a tendency to union between France and Austria, and a division between France and America. The Northerners must be incensed against Napoleon, and the Federals can hardly fail to come in collision with the new Empire. La Patrie asserts that the Archduke made the acceptance dependent on the consent of the Emperor of Austria. La France says that if he accepts, France and England will recognize him immediately, and the other Powers will follow. The Emperor and the Empress send congratulations to the Archduke.

f Prince Mural, of France, and M. Patterson Bonaparte, of the United States, are now mentioned in connection with the position. M. Patterson Bonaparte is said to be the favorite of the Emperor Napoleon. The deputation dispatched by the Council of Notables of Mexico to Europe, in order to formally tender the new crown to the Austrian Archduke, was daily looked for in Paris when the Arabia sailed. This body consists of eight persons, and to them Maximilian must give a decisive reply. La France, of Paris, says that it is of very great importance that his final answer should be known before next New Year's day. A very spirited analysis of the new French pamphlet, by M. Chevalier, on the Mexico, American question, appears in the London Times. M. Chevalier maintains that France should hasten to recognize the Confederacy from Mexico, and thus, by being the first to do so, gain the friendly alliance and trade of the new nation. In this he thinks the Emperor would have the suppor

in its city article, says that there is no reason to anticipate any trouble from the manner in which the United States will regard the proceedings in Mexico. It quotes from the New York Journal of Commerce to sustain these views. Detention of the Florida at rest. The stay of the Florida at Brest is, it is stated, likely to be prolonged beyond the limits originally, perhaps, contemplated by her commander. This results from two or three circumstances noticed in the French papers. La France says that the afflatus authorities of Brest, acting on instructions received from Paris, informed the consignees of the Florida that they held at their disposition a basin in which the vessel could be repaired. In consequence of this offer a towboat of the port conducted the Florida into a basin of the outward harbor on the 6th inst. Workmen having been authorized to enter the arsenal, the necessary preparations of the vessel were commenced at once, and in a short time it was expected the

the 5th inst. The Emperor's speech was pacific. He proposes a European Conference in the settlement of the Polish question. He hopes the arrival of Maximilian in Mexico will be advantageous to the country. The financial report will be published shortly, although the expectations are not fully realized.--The revenue has increased, and, without extraordinary resources, have met the expenses of the wars of Cochin China and Mexico. Only passing allusions are made to American affairs. La France asserts that Maximilian's acceptance of the Mexican crown is no longer doubtful. In view of the difficulties between Denmark and the German Confederation on the Sahesurg- Holstein question, Austria intends to send a portion of her fleet from the Adriatic to blockade the Danish ports. The state of affairs in Poland show no change. The advices from Austria indicate that Maximilian is making preparations for his trip to Mexico. M. Bismark, the Prussian Prime Minister, has
