iranrr.—It is now generally believed that the Emperor Napoleon will arrive at Kehl on the Rhine today, for the purpose of passing to- morrow with the Prince Regent of Prussia at Baden-Baden, or Carls- ruhe. It is said that other German sovereigns will be present, the Kings of Bavaria and Wurtemberg being among them. The object of this gathering none can divine. Some say it is oa detach Prussia from Eng- land, others to induce the Prince Regent to act in Germany the part played by Victor Emmanuel in Italy. Others connect the interview with the alleged intercepted letter. One correspondent says that " the Prince of Prussia was by no means willing to agree to the interview proposed on the part of the Emperor of the French, and it was only when the Prince was assured that the Emperor wished to a special communi- cation to him that he yielded." The Prince of Prussia has visited the King of Saxony, and the King of Hanover has been to Berlin. Lord Cowley, the Chevalier Nigra, Prince lilettemVu, and others, have been staying with the -Emperor at Fontiriebleau. The Commanneessiro, speciiireiway from the King of Naples, has been to sec4 y.--,filf„Lit Fontainebleau. isabiiiade of Countliahe.a au ie-,perial decree, promulgating the -treaty concluded UM-- oardinia for the cessiqn of Savoy and Nice.

Duke of Coburg was expected, and the King of ,aria had arrived bn Thursday. The King of Saxony left his capital on Thursday for Baden.

A Te Deum was sung on Thursday in Paris to celebrate the annexa- tion of Savoy and Nice to France. All the established bodies attended. A grand review, at which the Empress and the National Guard were pre- sent, also took place. Great enthusiasm prevailed among the troops and the people, who, owing to the fineness of the weather, were assembled in large numbers. The Imperial Prince remained at Fontainebleau.

The Municipal Council of Brest voted last month the erection of an equestrian statue of the Emperor Napoleon III. in the public square of that town. In reply to an announcement of that intention, the Minister of the Interior received the following letter from the Emperor, to be transmitted to the Mayor of Brest :— " Monsieur le Ministre—The Mayor of Brest has requested from you an authorization to erect to me an equestrian statue. I am very grateful for such a proceeding, which is a fresh proof of attachment to my person ; but I wish in such a case to maintain the usual tradition as to the principle which prevails. In general, equestrian statues are only erected to sove- reigns, and after their death. It is, in fact, proper that this popular homage should not have the appearance of a transitory flattery, but be a permanent impression of gratitude. I therefore request, while thanking the Municipal Council for their intention, that you will make known my desire that they should not carry it into execution. If the erection of an equestrian statue at Bordeaux two years ago was permitted, it was because I was ignorant of the design, and it was done without my authorization. Whereupon I pray God to have you in His holy keeping. NAPOLEON."

Siff hr.—The Turin Senate has approved the Treaty of Session, after a long debate, by 92 to 10. It is stated that leave has been granted to 500 picked men out of the several battalions of Bersaglieri, as well as 100 non-commissioned efficers, nd to a distinguished captain of engineers, to join the expedition which vas on the eve of setting off for Sicily. La Farina is reported to have ;one to Sicily to be civil governor.

The Pope, greatly in want of money, has extended the period of the ow loan to the 15th of July. The Cardinals had held an extraordinary s.,Niting, and had subscribed 30,000 crowns, but the public revenues e diminishing daily. The Peter's pence had only produced 500,000 Dern& The French kept high festival on the anniversary of Magenta. =elle Vienna Gazette of Wednesday published an Imperial decree Milting to the Central Lombardo-Venetian Congregation a decisive, °Mild of a deliberative, vote upon all matters, except, however, upon and administrative questions as affect the rights of the Government,- 1 the approbation of the proposed expenditure, and the revision of on provincial Treasury accounts. innlarshal Vaillant quitted Milan on Tuesday for France, the people tim(ing his departure. At Magenta Marshal Vaillant was received by

qational Guard and by the municipal authorities. At Novara he thman

made an excursion on the Lago Maggiore on board a Government steamer. He arrived at Turin on the 14th—the guest of the King.

The Government of Piedmont has presented to the Chambers a project for a loan of 150,000,000 of francs.

lathis.—The reformers in the Imperial Council have obtained another concession. On the motion of Count H. Clam, one of the Bohe- mian members, a committee of twenty-one has been appointed to ex- amine the budget, by a majority of 41 to 14. The budget is now in many hands, and the Austrian public is eagerly conning the details. The Government allowed the validity of Count Clam's resolution as "an exception to the rule." The sittings have been suspended for the time during which the committee will be engaged on the budget. When the Reichsrath is sitting the Archduke Reignier occupies a seat which is somewhat more elevated than those filled by the Vice-Presidents of the Assembly. On the right of the President sit the Archdukes William and Leopold, with the Cardinal-Archbishop of Vienna ; on his left are the Ministers. The other members of the Council of the Empire sit in alphabetical order—in arm-chairs, which are so placed that they form a semicircle. The Chevalier Von Vraniczany (from Croatia) appeared at the opening of the Reichsrath in an Hungarian dress, but M. Von Moe- sonyi (from the Voivodina) who is a Magyar, was in plain clothes. It is now generally said that the Hungarian magnates in the Reichsrath have agreed with the Bohemian nobles to endeavour to restore the feudal system, but there is not one word of truth in the report. The Hun- garian nobles will continue to insist on the restoration of the constitu- tion, but they do not even dream of attempting to regain their exclusive privileges.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 9th, contains a decree ordering that the Stadtholdership of Hungary shall come into effect on the 1st of July next, at which period the five existing departments of the Central Go- vernment which were entrusted with the administration of Hungary will be abolished. Another decree suspends the district authorities of Mo- ravia, and the Provincial Government of Troppau. Silesia is to be sub- ordinate to the Stadtholdership of Moravia, but the provincial status of Silesia with a separate provincial representation will be maintained. 115511.—The Hord has published the following circular, which has been addressed by Prince Gortschakoff to the Russian Legations abroad :—

" St. Petersburg, May 20. "The attention which the discussions upon the condition of the East has excited throughout Europe, makes us desirous of freeing from all error and false or exaggerated interpretation the part which the Imperial Cabinet has taken, and the object which it proposes to itself in this matter.

" for more than a year the official reports of our agents in Turkey have made us acquainted with the increasingly serious condition of the Christian provinces under the rule of the Porte, and especially of Bosnia, Herze- govina, and Bulgaria. This condition does not date from today ; but far from getting better, as was hoped, it has become worse during the last few years. The Christian subjects of his Majesty the Sultan received with con- fidence and gratitude the positive promises of reforms, but they are yet waiting the practical realization of a live which the solemn action of the Sovereign and the adhesion of Europe had doubly consecrated. Popular passions and hatreds, for from becoming appeased, have acquired new ani- mosity ; acts of violence, the sufferings of the populations, and, finally, the events which have occurred in the West of Europe, and which have re- sounded throughout the East as an encouragement and a hope, have ended in producing agitation. It is clear that such a state of things cannot be prolonged without peril to the Ottoman empire and to the general peace. " In this conviction, after having, on the one hand, vainly sought to en- lighten the Turkish Government on the gravity of the circumstances by c...municating to it successively all the accounts which have made known to us the. abuses committed by local authorities, and after having, on the other hand, tehausted all means of persuasion that we could use among the Christians in orar to induce them to patience, we have frankly and loyally addressed ourselves te. the Cabinets of the Great Powers of Europe. We have explained to them theiircumstances, as described in the reports of our agents; the imminence of a crisis--; .sur conviction that isolated representa- tions, sterile or palliative promises, wilt r.e longer suffice as a preventive ; and also the necessity of an understanding of the Great Powers among themselves and with the Porte, that they will core-milt together as to the measures which can alone put an end to this dangerous data of things. We have not made absolute propositions as to the course to be aaalued. We have confined ourselves to showing the urgency and indicating the e.i..;;;ca. As to the first, we have not concealed the fact that it appears to us to admit of no doubt and to allow of no delay. As to the second, it seems to us to present two distinct phases.

" First of all, an immediate local inquiry, with the participation of Im- perial delegates, in order to verify the reality of the facts ; next, an under- standing which it is reserved for the Great Powers to establish with each other and with the Porte, in order to engage it to adopt the necessary or- ganic measures for bringing about, in its relations with the Christian popu- lations of the empire, a real, serious, and durable amelioration.

" There is nothing here, then, in the shape of an interference wounding to the dignity. of the Porte. We do not suspect its intentions ; it is the Power most interested in a departure from the present situation. Be it the result of blindness, tolerance, or feebleness, the concurrence of Europe cannot but be useful to the Porte, whether to enlighten its judgment or to fortify its action. There can no longer be a question of an attack on its rights, which we desire to see respected, or of creating complications, which it is our wish to prevent. The understanding which we wish to see es- tablished between the great Powers and the Turkish Government must be, to the Christians, a proof that their fate is taken into consideration, and that we are seriously occupied in ameliorating it. At the same time it will be, to the Porte, a certain pledge of the friendly intentions of the Powers which have placed the conservation of the Ottoman Empire among the essential conditions of the European equilibrium. Thus, both sides ought to see in it a motive—the Turkish Government for confidence and security, the Christians for patience and hope. Europe, on its part, after past experience, will not, in our opinion, find elsewhere than in this moral action, the gua- ranteess which a question of first rank demands, with which its tranquillity is indissolubly connected, and in which the interests of humanity, mingle with those of policy. Our august master has never disavowed the strong sympathy with which the former inspire him. His Majesty desires not to burden his conscience with the reproach of having remained silent in the face of such sufferings, when so many voices are raised elsewhere, under circumstances much less imperious. We are, moreover, profoundly con- vinced, that this order of ideas is inseparable from the political interest which Russia, like all the other Powers, has in the maintenance of the Ot- ralkomplimented by the Governor of the town. At Arena the Marshal I " We trust that these views are shared by all the Cabinets. But we are

also convinced that the time for illusions is past ; that any hesitation—any adjournment—will have grave consequences. In combining, with all our efforts, to place the Ottoman Government in a course which may avert these eventualities, we believe that we are giving it a proof of our solicitude, while at the same time we fulfil a duty to humanity.

" By inviting the great Powers to associate themselves with us for this object, we are, we believe, removing all possibility of exclusive views or ex- clusive interference. Such is the nature of the overtures which we have addressed to the Courts of Berlin, London, Paris, and Vienna. Whatever may be the result, we are desirous that the motives which have actuated us in this matter should be thoroughly understood. You are, therefore, autho- rized by the order of his Majesty the Emperor to read this despatch to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. "Receive, &c., GORTSCHAKOFF." A letter from St. Petersburg, dated the 5th of June, says:—

"Anybody who wishes to be well received at the Court of St. Petersburg must not speak ill of the Emperor Napoleon or of his subjects. I cannot describe the joy felt among all classes when it was known the French Go- vernment was in accord with the Emperor Alexander on the Eastern ques- tion."

Slit ktu.—A telegram from Constantinople, June 6, says that " Sir Henry Bulwer has firmly pointed out to the Porte the necessity of re- pressing abuses, and said that upon such repression would depend the support of England. The Sultan has received these representations fa- vourably, and has sent his portrait to the Ambassador."

E Allah a Adv ices from Quebec to the 2d of June inform us that the preparations for the reception of the Prince of Wales were making rapid progress. The residence of the Commander of the Forces at Montreal was being redecorated for the residence of the Prince during his stay in that city, which was not expected to exceed four days. While at Quebec, his residence will be the Parliament-house, which was being suitably fitted up for his reception. At a public meeting held in Quebec, resolutions were adopted expressive of the great satisfaction with which the approaching visit of the Prince was regarded, and a com- mittee was appointed to confer with the Common Council of the city re- lative to the adoption of proper measures for his reception.

�Alttk Sin tf8.—Advices from New York report that on the 31st of May the Senate rejected the Mexican treaty ; and on the 1st of June passed the Post-office Deficiency Appropriation Bill. In the House of Representatives, a bill was passed providing that any United States mar- shal, deputy-marshal, or other ministerial officer, who shall permit the escape of criminals in his custody, whether charged with offences under the laws of the United States or those of a foreign Government with whom they have treaties of extradition, shall be deemed guilty of a mis- demeanour, and shall be fined and imprisoned according to the discretion of the Court, having respect to the nature of the crimes with which the prisoners are charged.

litqa Mtaiauk.—A war with the natives has broken out in New Zealand. The scene of the warfare is near New Plymouth. The cause of hostilities is a quarrel about a land sale. One native chief sold a piece of land. The native calling himself King forbade the sale, and obstructed the survey. Troops were called in, and the survey was com- pleted, the natives looking on from a small "pah," which Wirimu Kingi evacuated when summoned. This was on the 14th of March. On the 15th, he built another "pah " on the purchased land, and war became inevitable. On the 17th, Colonel Gold, with 300 regulars, 25 sailors, and a body of volunteers, cannonaded the pah at 800 and 200 yards, but did not attempt to storm it. The next morning, the guns were advanced to within thirty yards of the stockade, breached the walls, and carried the pah—it was empty. The result was that other native chiefs joined Kingi; three colonists were murdered, and several families took shelter in the house of an Episcopalian clergyman. Colonel Murray was sent with 250 men, 80 being volunteer rifles and 50 militia, to bring them in. The force divided, the regulars taking the road, the volunteers fol- lowing the beach. An action ensued, in which, it is said, the greater portion of the regulars took so little part that the volunteers were par- tially surrounded just as their ammunition had nearly failed. Colonel Murray declined to help them, but Captain Calcroft of the Niger, with a body of sailors, " rushed" the pah, and carried off the rebel flag. The natives hastened to the stockade, and thus the volunteers were enabled to retire unmolested. The rebels then fell back into the bush, and up to the 24th of March there had been no more fighting. It is not stated whether the European settlers were rescued. The glory of these little actions belongs to the volunteers and blue jackets. Large reinforce- ments, solicited by the Governor, were on their way to Taranaki from Australia.
