the Ist of November, instead of the Uth ; and the funeral of the Great Duke was settled to take place on the 13th. There is little doubt that Parliament will satisfy the sovereign and the country in its endeavours to do the latest honors to one whose truthfulness and honesty needed no patent of nobility to render them respected ; and whose military services, and love of country are without parallel. The foreign relations of Great Britain re main to all appearances the same; still it would seem that the prognostics are not all of a favorable description. The position of France is to the lait degree unsettled ; un der what is described, by the Press (!) of the country, as an almost unanimous desire for the Empire, private accounts would lead us to believe that there exists a sullen discon tent, a iiecret writhing beneath the unmiti gated military despotism which already en closes the entire country in its meslies. — Indeed with the history of the last four years before us, it is next to impossible to doubt that the elements of new convulsions are held in suspension only by a system of military despotism, which all perfect as it must be admitted'to be for the present ambi tious purposes of the President, cannot in the ordinary course of things be long en dured by such a peop'e. It seems to be the general impression, that in the event of the President assuming the Imperial title, it will be a matter post choice that he finds some employment for the sanguinary tools whose aid has placd it within his reach ; and some hair brained affair menncing the peace of Europe may probably be the consequence of this over bearing necessity.' Indeed one Engli-h pa per goes the length of recommending the forlification of our Sovereign's quiet domes- I tie domicile at the Isle of Wight, engges-' ting the possible abduction of England's Queen. We trust, and believe, that Fng land will be found well able to protect her Queen, and hold her own, whatever may he. the character of the struggle.
