EUROPE,
LATEST STEAMER NEVS.
The Cunard mail steamship Australasian,
Captain Cook, which left Liverpool at noon on
the 26th, and Queenstown on the 27th January,
arrived at New York yesterday morning.
Paris was alarmed, on the night of the 25th
of January, by a report that the Kinr of Iuiy
had been assassinated. The Emperor Napoleon
sent to the Prefecture ball, which was going on
at the time, a special message contradicting the
report.
Mr. Gladstone wns m Paris, en route to London
from Italy, and the Political Economy Society
of France seized the occasion to tender him a
banquet. It was to take place on the 26th of
January.
The Prussian royal patent Incorporating
Schleswlg-Holstrin with the Prussian monarchy
was promulgated on the 24th of January at the
Castle of Kiel. The patent promises the popu
lation equal rights with the other inhabitants
of Prussia; the preservation of all unobjection
able institutions peculiar to the country, and
the non-removal of the present otliclats from
their posts except tor cause. The proclama
tion which accompanies the patent pays a
tribute to the proved constancy ol the Scliles-wig-Hoistemers,
and declares that every effort
will be made to promote the prosperity of the
country.
The Opinion Rationale of Paris, which had
hitherto retrained in a somewhat marked man
ner from expieswins its views relative to the
Jate changes in the Constitution, published on
January 26 a long article, signed by M. Gueroult,
commenting on the vigorous measures of re
lonn proponed. The series of observations in
question present this peculiarity, that while all
the early portions seem rather hostile to the
modifications proposed, and still more to the
manner in which they have been produced, the
latter part expatiates without reserve in praise
f the Emperor, lor both his acts and his in
tentions. The Emperor Napoleon's reform letter sug
gests the iol lowing reflections to the Turin
Gazette: The constitutional reforms in France
appear of a nature to satisfy tho most exacting,
and to answer to the desires oi the most ardent
liberals ot that nation. It may be said that the
Constitution of the empire has made a great
step towards the tranquil plains of the broadest
liberty. As to us Italians, we ought to rejoice
heartily at the sight of the edifice, erected and
crowned by the one and genuine ally whom
Italy has ever had, settling down on the solid
foundations on whih our own constitutional
liberties repose. These are foundations which
the reactions will always be powerless to
ehake."
We read in La France of January 26: "A
'recent article in the Florence Gazelle, repub
lished by several Turin tournals.iaserted that
French emissaries were busy in the neighbor
hood of Aosta, making a propaganda in favor of
the French Government. The Nazione says it
is in a position to declare in the most explicit
manner that this statement is destitute of foun
dation." Viscount Hood has transmitted for publication
the following letter which he has received from
Uie Emperor Napplcop;-,
"PalAci 0 tfibt TuiLBRifis, January 20, 1867.
Sir: I learn with regret by jour letter that
the tombs of the English officers killed at the
battle of Toulouse are in a dilapidated condi
tion. Soldiers who fall in foreign country
belong to that country, and it is the duty of all
to honor their memory. I shall have the tombs
repaired at my own expense. Receive, etc.
"Napolbon."
The London Morning Post of the 26lh makes
the announcement alluded to In our cable re
portthat the long pending differences between
Hungary and the Conrt ot Vienna have been
satisfactorily adjusted. A separate Hungarian
Ministry has been conceded, and the nomina
tion of its members is almost complete.
The London Fast of the 25th of January,
speaking of Napoleon's more recent policy,
Bays: "These preparations and this change of
policy do not prove that t rance contemplates
war, but tbey clearly demonstrate that, in the
opinion of her ruler, the contingency of war is
possible, if not probable, and that in such an
event France must not be found in the same
unprepared state in which she stood last year.
In a word, Napoleon III does not believe that
the treaty ot Prague was final, nor that th 3 pre
sent statu quo wUl long continue undisturbed:
and he has resolved that if further changes are
are to be effected, tbey shall not be made with
out the oonsent of France."
The Tribunal de Commerce of the Seine,
France, has registered a decision in a case
somewhat similar to that of Glover vs. Persigny,
tried some years since In London in connecttou
with Napoleon's subsidizing an English news
paper. It appears that in 1863, when all the
French journals were attacking Kussia with
reference to the Polish question, M. Tohitcbe
rlne, a gentleman attached to the Russian
embassy in Paris, took steps to subsidize the
jaUon, in order that it might put "correct
views" of Russo-Pollsh affairs before the Pari
sian public. Since that time the Nalwn has come
to grief, and the creditors of the paper have
taken advantage of an agreement entered into
byM. Tchitcherine to sue him for a portion of
the debts of the establishment, which, it seems,
his agreement bound blm to sustain.
The Tribunal de Commerce has decided
against the Russian employe, notwithstanding
the privileges of an embassy, on the ground
that he entered into partnership In a commer
cial speculation. It is still possible that his
privilege may Becnre him irom arrest; but it
seems likely that the Russian Government will
have to pay a considerable sum in excess of
what thev alreadv have disbursed.
When the Australasian left Knrland, all the
overdue steamers bad reached England except
the Bosphorus from Philadelphia, and she was
spoken on the 30th January, six hundred miles
west oi yueenswwn, snort ot cuai.

certainly a man of fair ability and of liberal
tendencies; but far above all, M. Walewski's
Ideal of a Minister of Htato is M. WalewBkl
himself. All the influence which he possessed,
and It is not Inconsiderable, is said to have been
brought to bear, directly and indirectly, In
etlccling this combination, on the success of
which, by the aid of another hluh personage, ho
counted with certainty. M. Lavalette also was
to make room for some other person in the
Homo Department whose oratorical gifts were
more potential than his.
In the meantime tho Emperor was maturing,
in silence and secreny, his plan of reform not
quite the snme bb that which has been pub
lished, though very nearly so. The Cabinet
Council that was to meet on Wednesday was
postponed, in consequence of the Court ball, to
Thursday, and on that day, before any other
business was entered upon, he quietly drew
from his pocket a sheet of paper, read to his
Ministers the draft of his project, Informed them
that, as he had definitively made up his mind
upon it. he would not then trouble them for any
nl'Kervntlons, ana requested them to proceed
forthwith to the or'larv business ol the day.
The Ministers received the gracious communi
cation with respect; not without surprise, but
they said nothing.
On t-alurday the Council of Ministers met
again, and the Kmperor having settled in his
own mind whnt to do with them, they were
allowed to have their say. The Empress was
present and took part in the conference. Tnere
can be no indelicacy in alluding to this lllus rl
ous lady, who is, 10 all Intents and purposes, a
poll leal personage. Her Mafesty has over and
over again presided at Cabinet Councils, she
almost always takes a share in the proceedings,
and sometimes signs decrees and ordinances.
In the present Instance, it is related that her
Majesty wns pleased to expre-s herself not over
satisfied with the concessions granted by the
Kmperor, as they gave rather too much latitude
to the opposition, and too much disarmed
authority.
M. Chasseloup-Laubat (Marine.) inclined to
more liberal views, and, perhaps, took some
exceptions to the project. There is some un
certainty as to how Marshal Handon expressed
himself on the particular subject, thouuh there
were none as to whnt he thought of the pro-
iect for the organization of the nrmy. M.
..avalette. strange to say, took rather a liberal
view, though he might not completely dis
approve the plan. M. Fonld did not conceal
his opinion that it could hardly bo looked upon
as serious, would cordially support auy well
considered serious measure that would enlaree
the circle of publio liberty, and at the same
time maintain Ihe proper authority of the
Executive; but he did not think that the one
in question had that character.
Alter hearing with his wonted serenity and
patience all the Ministers had to say, his
Mnlesty was pleased to notify his Ministers thut
he bad made up his mind, and be invited them
to resign en masse. The "invitation" was at
once Accepted. It was considered as a mere
formality, though perhaps a superfluous one,
as they all expeoted to be reinstated in their
posts. How far their expectations have been
realized you already know. Those who had
planned a new combination are, it appears,
mere disappointed than anyone. M. Walewskl
is, alas, not the Minister of State; M. Rouher
keeps his; place; M. Magne is not Flnanee
Minister: M. Ollivier is not Minister of any
thing and is not the Government organ in the
Chamber,
M. lAvalette is still head of the Ilome Office,
though, with a modesty for which few gave him
credit, be admitted he was not a great orator,
and ho feared his inability to defend, as they
should be defended, the acts and policy of the
Government. He was told, however, on very
high authority, that he was one of tho best
speakers in Council; and if he made one effort
to get rid of the natural timidity which is his
great charm, he would positively shine in de
bate. Thus the ministers, who resigned as a
matter of form, but were not called back, must
resign themselves to remain out. M. Chasseloup-Laubat
has since said that he by no means
regrets tne loss oi omce, as ne is preiiy wen
tired of it; and his colleague of the War Depart
ment protests he is quite of the same mind.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
Ills Views of "The Situation,'' as Stated
to the Correspondent of the "London
Times."
Wwshinyton (Jan. 10) Cor. London Times.
There is an advantage to the stranger which
American politicians do not appreciate, ot
hearing both sides or a question, ana in vnese
dnys the only efficient means of getting at the
President's views is from himself. It Is some
months since I last saw too rrenieeni, nuu i
uia onTinnn to aHRertaln his oDlnions upon the
state of the country and the events of the lam
few months. Mr, Jonuson was gooa onuugu iu
cive me an interview this afternoon at the
white House, and he expressed to me the views
which I shall, with his sanction, endeavor to
repeat to you.
'fhn President said that the light in which he
regarded public affairs at the present moment
was that a minority In the country was seeking
to impose its views upon the majority, lhat
minority knew the scale would bo turned
against them if the full number of the States
were represented In Congress, and hence they

obey the North, the stronger power the power
with avanaoio iort; oi iu
But, continued the President, it is Impossible
that the question should rest here. Dlttle by
little thebouthern Stateshad been brought back
into a proper action with the machinery of gov
ernment. The Government and ttia States had
gradually approached each other, law and con
stituted authority resumed their sway, and
everything was completed except the admission
of representatives from those States to Congress.
But here Congress Interposed, and 11 said. "Yon
are not States at all, and you shall not be repre
sented." From that moment It began to pull
to Dleces the main fabrlo of the Government; It
began to wipe out the Slates JroiO Which aioo
i derived M xiiUaoei
The States had brought Congress Into exist
ence, and now Congress proponed to destroy
theSlates. It proposed to abolish theorlglnal
and elementary principle of its being. It was
as if the creature mined round upon thecreator,
and attempted to destroy him. But suppose
theso States, with their lawfully appointed
Governors and administrators, refusod to obey
this summons to depart ontot life altogether?
Suppose they said: "We are within the scope
of Ihe Constitution; we are obeying the laws;
the Government recognizes ns by the infliction
of taxes.and the appolntmentof public officers;
and no Congress on decree our dissolution!"
Could the Government deny or repudiate this
argument? If It came before the courts, and
they rubstantlaled It, what would remain to
Congreti but the exercise of force in order to
carry out lis views? Thus the country would
be Involved in another revolution; townrds
that all the proceedings of Congress in relation
to tber South were tending. The Executive
Government were, at least, endeavoring to ful
fil what was the supreme law of the land the
Constitution. There was a time when men con
sidered the Constitution first when they framed
laws. Now they occasionally mentioned it in
an accidental manner.
Someone on looking around discovered the
Constitution, with much the same sense of
astonishment, apparently, that a man who was
watching the stars might exper enco when he
discovered a new planet. But the Constitution
was on the side of tho Executive: low was on
Its side, nnd reason and Jnstlee. Tho people
would eventually perceive that It was lnter-
Fiofcing to preserve the very basis of this repuo
ienn Government, although their attention
might be diverted from it now, "There Is,"
added the President, "no answer to this argu
ment no attempt is made to answer it, except
by the use of arbitrary power". You feel some
times as if you were following, up a principle
straight to its source, and bad got a tight grip
upon it; and it Is exactly so in this case."
The Constitution, the President further said,
hnd been solemnly received when the people
went into the federation. No section of the
people, or their representatives, could Ignore
or overthrow it, except arbitrarily. By-and-bv,
when the people heard the crash of the fabric
which they had formerlyprized so highly, when
the sound of the falling limbers reached their
ears, and they saw the dust aud confusion, they
would stop and look up to ascertain who it was
that had been doing the work of destruction.
That portion of the people which was now un
heard would eventually demand by wnat risut
a Congress representing a part only of t he States
had assumed this responsibility. Formerly
when a measure was Introduced, the first ques
tion anked wns, "Is It constitutional?" und the
next, "Is It expedient?"
Now, Congress ou;y asked, "is it expoiiiont?"
But, in the Judgment ot the Executive, what
was unconstitutional could not be expedient.
The Constitution did, indeed, provide for Its
own enlargement or amendment, and it was
competent lor the people to change It according
to the method prescribed. But now the ma
jority of the people were voiceless on the ques
tion; tney naa no opportunity to mane tnem
seives heard. One duty of the Executive was
undoubtedly to protect the rights ot the
minority, and hence Congress was aiming to
mill down the Executive, aud was even threat
ening the Supreme Court. It was opposed to
the best interests oi tne people tnat tnis at
tempt should succeed, aud the Executive still
had confidence that the people would dlsoern
that truth for themselves.
The President presently referred to the al
leged abuse which had been committed of the
appointing power. He said lhat there was great
misconception abroad as to the good whioli the
Executive might do for ltseir, or the harm
which it might do others, by tho bestowal of
offices. Suppose, for instance, that there was a
post to be given away. There were sure to be
twenty applicants for it; and when It was
bestowed all that the President had done was
to make one lukewarm friend aud nineteen
enemies. The friend was silenced, for after he
received the appointment he had to mrtke favor
with the Senate iu order to have it confirmed.
The man was as HKeiy as not to miow over tue
President altogether.
It was different wnen tne mcouuvo wna m
harmony with the Senate; then the candidate
knew that he couia secure a miijuutj
body, and he could venture to give his adhesion
to the President. In point of fact, the Execu
tive had not made more changes than were re
quired by the public service not ,so imlj uo
were ordinarily made. There was a great out
cry because the men who were actually in
power nau nueu an tue umc wim wiom it icum
and supporters, and they did not want to see
them removed.
With regard to the threatened impeachment,
the President said with a smile:
"I had contradicted old world-wide ideas,
derived from MagnaCbarta, and sodownwards,
respecting the right of the accused to be heard,
and to be fairly tried, but these seem to be
oninir nnt of date. Now. a committee sittinz in
secret, and hearing one side only, and that side
the enemies of the accused, prejudge his case.
It is a consistent part of the general system
which we see being pursued."
Frequently during the conversation the Pre
sident reiterated his belief that the people
would eventually begin to look at all the ques
tions now before them from the constitutional
side. Heseemedto be content to be Judged by
the fidelity and persistence with which he had
adhered In bis public policy to the Constitu
tion, which his oath obliges him to defend.
That oath might as well be rescinded if Con
gress aud the country refused to recognize tho
Constitution as a law binding upon allaliKe.
Certainly the President's opinions with regard
to the Constitution are not singular, although
few besides himself have the courage to openly
proclaim them. There are numbers of lawyers
who do not hesitate to admit privately, "the
President is right; but what is to be gained by
going against one's constituents?" Now and
then, however, a publio man is found who is
not afraid to declare ills convictions. Judge
Black, for example, made a forcible speech in
defense of the President aud the Supreme
Court. He said in the course of his remarks:
"The Judges, and all who think with them,
are called traitors because they declare tlie Con
stitution to mean what it says, and because they
will not violate it themselves or permit Its vio
lation by others when they can prevent It. If
thisconillct for and against the Constitution
implies treason on eltnersiue, tneguut does not
lie at our door. It is not the man who sustains,
and loves, and believes in the laws of hls coun
try it Is not such a man that can be justly
called a traitor. But if there be an American
citizen anywhere who, with an oath upon bis
conscience to support the Constitution, would
make war upon It, subvert it by brute force,
and take away the defunses it affords to life,
liberty, and propertyleaving them to the
mercy of mobs, murderers, kidnappers, mili
tary commissions, aud bureaus ot military Jus
tice, such a man is thoroughly a traitor."
Sentiments like .those make a man unpopu
lar, and therefore few venture to utter them.
The country ought not to be in any doubt as
to the objects wnieh the radicals have in view
In impeaching the President. It cannot be
alleged as a pretext that Mr. Johnson prevents
necessary legislation. The majority of two-
thirds is secured, ana tne veto can always be
rendered Inoperative. What is it, then, that
the leaders of the party are seeking ? To place
one of their own number In tho Presidential
chair, so that the laws which they pass may be
carried out at the point of the bayonet, if neces
sary. This would inevitably force a revolution
almost directly. The safeguard against it now
Is that the classes legislated against believe
that the President can exercise some restraint
upon their antagonists. They do not yet feel
that they are delivered over altogether into
their hands. This advantage to the country
more than compensates for Mr, Johnson's mis
takes, whatever they may have been. The
radicals wish to revolutionize the Government,
and to put a tool of their own into the White
House.
Do they expect to accomplish all this quietly?
They cannot pack the Supreme Court at this
moment, for the appointment of the Judges
rests exclusively with the President, But a
more accommodating Executive could be in
duce to place more Judges on the bench, so
that law might be Interpreted according to radi
cal principles. These are the plans of the radi
cal party, and still the people aresilenU

PROPERTY FOUND IN A C0OPEBA0E NO TRACE
OF THE THIEVFS.
Borne time between last Saturday night and
Monday morning the extensive United States
bonded warehouse tt MesMH. Mll er Coneer,
located at the" corner of Water and Union
streeto, was visited by a sang of bold and
expert burglars, who succeeded in robbing the
place of a large quautuy of silk and satin goods
and jewelry.
It ih supposed that the robbery was committed
during Sunday nittbt, as a tlcrk in the employ
of the firm was in the store uuring the attef
noon, and did not notice anything unusual
about thesjlace. The robbery was not dis
covered until the warchouso was opened for
business yesterday morning.
From a subsequent examination of the
premises, it appears that the burglars passed
through an open lot connected with Brigg's
cooperage immediately in the rear of the ware
house. Piled close against the fence which
separates the yard from the warehouse is a
stack ot barrels some' twenty feet hteh. This
the burglars clambered over and then dropoe I
down into the area In the rear of the store,
where they woiked for hours secure from ob
servation or Interruption.
This position gamed, one of the doors, wh'.ch
1b fastened with but a sincle bolt, was burst
or en by means of -a "jimmy;" but here the
burglars met a temporary cheek, as several
hogsheads ol sugar had been placed close
against the door, so that thev could not enter.
A similar door a little further on was then
forced open, and the burglars, of whom It was
pupposcd there were at least three, entered the
warehouse. They ascended to the fifth floor,
where they burst ODen twenty cases and sacks
of goods, containing silks, satins, linens, pop
lins, cloths, etc. etc., and ransacked thcin
thoroughly.
Selecting three cases of elegant goods, belni;
a portion of a consignment to Messrs. A. T.
Stewart A Co., the burglars emptied some fifteen
or twenty bags of rice, strewing the contents
about the floor. The baes were then tilled with
the costly goods taken from the cases, a valu
able quantity of jewelry, which toe tdieves
found in a box bclongiiia to a brother-in-law of ,
Mr. Miller, which bad been left on storage in
the establishment.
The burglars then divested themselves of
their underclothing, and donned new clothes,
which they found' in oue of the cases which
they had broken open. TheJurglarswith sur
prising coolness, then regaled themselves with
wines, liquors, nnd cigars, and must have en
joyed themselves Immensely, judclnn Irom the
numerous en. Dty bottles and stumps of cigars
found lying about the floor.
Alter carousing to their hearts' content, the
burglars left the premises undetected, taking
with them eoods amounting in value to between
$12,000 and $18,000. Yesterday morning the
workmen at Braeg'a cooperate louncJL, three
bags oi the goods, valued at $2000, lyine among
the boxes and barrels in the yard, which tho
burglars were probably compelled to abandon
in their flight.
How so much property could be removed
from the buildinar at night without attracting
the attention of the police, seems loexplicable.
CaDtain Jameton. of the Seventh Precinct, was
notified of the robbery, and male a thorouch
examination of the premises. No trace ot the
thieves or the property has yet been obtained.
