Prospects.
Mario, (Aug. 1i) Corr
eapondeaco of the Loudon Timer.l
The Emperor took his de from nom
bieres on flaturday morning at 8.80, and
arrived at Troye s , a little - before ' 2, And was re
ceived by the !odd authorithat of- all the
neighboring districts. The following address was
delivered by the Mayor :
"The town of Troyes is profoundly grateful
for the visit of your Majesty. The patriotic sen
timents which animate this place,alwaya attached
to the Empire, are those of all ChelePagee; the
people of Troyes contotind in the same idea de
votedness to the country and to the Sovereign
elected by the people. Since your Majesty has
presided over:the destinies of France the indus
try of Troyes has acquired. an immense exten
sion. Last year in that Exhibition in which all
the universe lavished Its •splandOrs, the manufac
turers of Troyes, in competition, with the whole
world, - obtained alone the four gold medals
bestowed on their class. Peace, the object of all
your dealrea, and without which industry cannot
prosper, will engender new progress. Your
presence, 81re, In the midst of us attests •loudly
your lively sympathy for cur working' popula
tion. The inhabitants of the towns and rural
districts are aware that your Majesty will always
be faithful to the great and noble mission , of
assuring the wealth and development of manu
factures and agriculture. We have confidence,
Sire, and we are happy toproclaim it, in your
constant-solicitude,- azul_in _your— persevering
efforts to constitute the prosperity and grandeur
of-Franee.---Wice-rEmpeeear - ,"
The Emperor replied in these terms:
"I would not pass through Troyes without
staying a moment to give a proof of my lively
sympathy for the populations. of Champagne,
always animated with such patriotle sentiments.
I witnessed with pleasure last year the progress
of manufactures in your department.. I recom
mend yon strongly to continue in that course, for
nothing now menaces the peace of Europe.
Have confidence in the future, and do not forget
that God protects France."
These words were followed by the loudest ap
plat se. Afterward Ills Majesty received all the
notabilitits, and passed the sapeuraTompiera in
review, as also the veterans wearing the St.
Helena medal, afterward distributing several de
corations. The Imperial traveler arrived at Fon
tainebleau at 5 o'clock.
To the ordinary observer nothing does indeed
threaten the peace of Europe. France is power
ful and respected, secure in her unity,her warlike
genius and her excellent geographical position.
No nation on earth dreams of attacking her, and
the most punctilious Frenchman cannot accuse
any foreign Power of an act of injustice, or even
discourtesy. The Power which, two years ago,
caused by its victories such an outburst of jeal
ousy in France, has confined its influence to Ger
many alone, and no one even pretends to suspect
that it will ever assume an aggressive attitude to
any non-German neighbor. The worst of which
Prussia can be accused is of seeking the leader
ship or command of Germany, and of taking
somewhat high-handed 'measures to obtain' it.
But if even that policy were to be pursaed in its
most violent form, it would not take one metre
of soil from France, or Infringe, to the
least degree the pale of her safety or honor. (Virily,
then, should it be a remarkable thing to hear- the
,Sovereign declare that nothing today threatens
the peace of Europe? - Ought it not to pass as
merely an evident fact mentionetljtv 4 a Spirit • of
thankfulness and, tougrathiationoo if the 'gat
-perol hid spoken of a good vintage, and bid the
peciple rejoice that they had not suffered from
drought or blight?. Yet In every country the
words will be dwelt upon as oracular. and people
will Interpret them according to their own fan
cies or prepossessions. For our own part, we
willinely receive these repeated declarations In
the Atkin and ordinary sense of the words, and
accept the assurances that Champagne, and con
sequently the rest of Europe; need not tear the
calamities of war.
IFrom the Pada Sieele.3
The political event of the moment is the reply
of the Chief of the State to the address delivered
by the Mayor of Troyes. It is a very positive
contradiction of the renewed warlike rumors in
circulation some days past.
tFrom the Journal de, Debate.]
The Emperor declared that nothing now me
naced the peace of Europe. This affirmation is
reassuring: but It will perhaps be thought rather
vague, especially it taken in connection wi t h the
phrase which follows: "Save confidence in the
future, and do not forget that God protects
France." - - - •
Mom theetmeti fit tinnnAn
France desires peace, which is at present the
wish and the need of every people. Batas efforts
are incessantly made to give publicity to imagi
nary projects—as there is no want of purveyors
of news exercising their ingenuity in spreading
false and disquieting; rumors, the public ought to
congratulate itself on the fortunate circumstance
which has enabled the Emperor himself to give
publicly such formal assurances respecting the
general situation , of Europe. "Nothing," said
His Majesty, "now menaces at present the peace
of Europe. Have confidence in the futdre."
Tteee words will find a - wide echo in Fran and
abroad ; and will be welcomed everywher'as a
new and powerful encouragement to works of
commerce and industry, which cannot be devel
oped without the security to be derived from
peace alone.

taut .peech of Baron Von Benet.
Annexed is the full text of the speech delivered
by Baron von Beust at the banquet closing the
great rifle meeting at Vienna, Ang. 6 ;
Gliumniurzi :—The hearty, welcome received in
coining among you yesterday has induced me to
accept your kind invitation to take part in the
banquet of toqiiiy. I can at least express my
warm thanks, and tell you how completely I feel
at home among you. The language used by the
last speaker [Herr Freisleben, the Wurteiriburg
Deputy to the Cnstoms Parliament, who had
,propoeed Baron von Bent'shealthd imposes
upon me fresh duties, of- gratitude , ' and I do
not think I can prove my consciousness- of
it more strongly than by saying that I
see in each - manifestation of • public
confidence not only an honorable testimony of
approval of the past, but also an encouragement
for the future. .In saying this I have reason to
believe .I expreas the sentiments of the absent
members of the Government. Gentlemen the
meeting held in this capital has been both' Im
posing. and fine. Although advanced in years
I can feel enthusiasm for the past as well as for
the future. But my position requires that the
calming voice of experience should always do
minate •my feelings. This voice- counsels me
now, and yet I hope it will be seen from my
words that, eithbugh - , I hayo; become , a good
Austrian, I haVe none the less remained a good
German. [Enthusiastic cheers.] I have just quitted
one of thOse magnificent valleys of our Alps
where a brawling torrent is seen to wish noisily
forth from among gigantic Peaks; and as happens
sometimes to a traveler inclined to bo dreamy,

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 1868.
my heartfelt desire - that the enthusiasm called
forth by the festivities of which Vienna has been
the theatre, May succeed, in its ulterior course,
in avoiding the billows of .discord and misunder
standing, to enter into the calm current of
peace and civilization. Gentlemen, in the
country to which I formerly belonged I
was present at two great German national
festivals. Every one was then animated by
the noblest enthusiasm; no disagreement
was anywhere heard. It was glorious to hear
the harmony of song mingle with the union of
feelings and of thoughts. . A year had scarcely
passed before the civil war broke oat in full force.
It will be said that the German nation was united,
but that its princes were, not, that its govern
ments quarrelled and pushed their subjects into
this sanguinary -struggle. , What, a prodigious
error!, Cabinet wars are no longer made at .the
present day. Whoever thinks that they are 'may
believe with equal propriety, that because storms
burst in the sky they are , formed in the upper re
gions. -of - the. atmosphere,and are not
due to the evaporations 'arising from the
ground. The people • was not
united, • Everybody wished. for a united.
powerful, free • Germany'; but how
was it to be arrived at? Opinions were divided
upon this point in the North and in the South,
In a portion of the North and is a portion of the
South. But as, unfortunately, the point of view
of parties is Inflexible, and as mediating tenden
cies are not in the same condition long together,
the violent collision in which we have taken
part was rendered possible. May these unhappy
experiences not be lost! CatchwOrds and
programmes, however conformable they may be
to the tendencies of the public minA_are
not 'lntheinselfes sufficient to lead to the
coremon_gond, mtrarely_eceed_in_bringing_
about an agreement in what that common good
consists. Just and equitable ideas, resolute and
honorable acts--:these reconcile parties end bring
nations together. 'The policy of Austria no
longer presses itself , info the affairs of Germany,
and no . aspirations after vengeance 211 the public
mind in this Empire. But no treaty prevents
Austria from acquiring esteem, confidence and
regard by what her people or her Government
produce and create. The free development of
ail moral and material resources, which neither
the deprecating disfavor of our enemies nor the
anxious timorousness of our friends can now
withdraw from the light of day, Is not diplomatic
action that can be stigmatized as intrigue, bat
the labor of the honest man, who gains for him
self esteem in pursuing it . Let us not be dis
turbed in pursuing this task, and may it be ren
dered easier to us by frank and honest sympathy,
such sympathy as the comrades who have come
flora far and near to participate in these festivi
ties have given us in so surprising and agreeable
a manner, and for which we cannot thank them
sufficiently. Germany
.will not have, to , repent
it. Now, gentlemen, allow me to conclude
by adding a word AZ you, not only as
a German, but more particularly as an
Austrian. Austria's feeilug for Germany
is what certainly., no party in Germany
rejects, and I may boldly add no nationality in
the en tire Austrian monarchy. But if it is de
sired to make the German element the pillar of
this idea, then, gentlemen, it must not , be sepa
rated from the other races who elong to the Em
pire with equal right and fidelity---equally tried
valor and devotion. The union, the concord of
all the nations living. under the sceptre of oar il
lustrious Emperor can alone' tee the WM
meat of that historically viliaing mission of
At/atria which is alike an= interest of Austria and
of Germany. Therefore, gentlemen, I drink -to

Queen Victoria's nesrderiee ittimeerne
—Reception by the Citizens.
(Lucerne (Aug. 9th) Correspondence of Galignani's Mae.
Qneen Victoria is now settled here, as Countess
of Kent, in a beautifully-situated residencie.alled
the Villa (Pension) Wallace. It is built on a hill
overlooking the town, with the Right on the left
and Mont Pilatus, distinguished by its serrated
ridge, upon its right, and the lake and snowy St.
Gothard range of Alps iinmediately in front. Her
Majesty, in coming here, used the same train that
ccnveyed the royal parts , from Cherbourg to
Paris, and in.whie.h there is good sleeping accom
modation. The distance from Paris to-Bale, on
the Swiss frontier, is three hundred and twenty
three English miles, the route, except in the hilly
wine districts, having little of a picturesque char
acter to recommend it.
At Bale her Majesty and the royal party took
breakfast, and here the officials• of the Eastern
Rgilway_ resigned their-chargeof-the-train-to the
officers of the Central Swiss Railway'. That line,
the works of which were executed by Mr. Bras
sey, traverses the district of the Jura through
very beautiful scenery to Olten, at which point
branches diverge to Lucerne and other Swiss
centres. rth quitting Bale the railway ero sea
the valley of the Birs over a lattice bridge, a little
west of the famous battle-field of St. Jacob,
where, in 14444,600 Swiss had, the courage to
--withiftand for ten hours a French army ten times
mote numerous, commanded by the Dauphin,
afterwards Louis XL Only ten of the Swiss es
caped alive, and the battle of St. Jacob is still
rezerred to as the Thermopylie of Swiss his
tory. The vineyards near • the field pro
duce red wine called Schweitzer
Blat (Swiss blood). The railway continue
for several miles along the flat land of the Rhine
valley, and then leaving it turns to the right up
the valley of the river Ergolz to Liestal, tile seat
of government of Bale-Campagne. A wide valley
opens as the traveller approaches the Olten Jane
tlon,and in arm weather the first view of:the Bur
nese Alps may be observed. On leaving Olten
the railway enters a beautiful valley,•bordered by
a 'varied outline of wooded heights, with the
snow-capped Alps in front Passing in succession
the small stations of Zofingen. Dagmerzellen,
Nebikon, Sursee (historically interesting. as the
scene of a battle in 1386,the second of the surpris
ing victories by which Swiss independence was
established), Rothenburg and Emmenbruch, Lu
cerne is approached,throrigh a charming district,
with magniccent views on the left and right of
the town.-._ -
The station here was handsomely fitted up, and
in addition to the authorities a number' of Eng
lish.were in attendance to welcome her Majesty.
The Queen and the royal family, with the
ladies in malting, will occupy the villa, and the
other members of the royal suite will be accom
modated in .a pretty chalet situated in the grounds
of the villa Wallace and closely adjoining the
lake. Altogether the spot chosen for her
Majesty's residence has charms of scenery of
the most sublime character, probably not to be
equalled in Europe.
It is expected that her Majesty will remain at
Lucern during the next three weeka, or probably
until the first week in September. The con
tinuance of, the present fine weather will prob
ably have an influence on the royal movements.

Victor Eltugo., • '
Francis Victor Hugo, the son of the novelist,
writes as follows to a weekly paper of New York,
concerning his father's forthcoming novel:.
"The papers have announced that the author
of Lea Miserable* is aborit to publish a romance
entitled Quatre-ringt treize, and a drama entitled
Lea Jumeauz. The truth is that the romance
Quatre-vingt treize is not yet begun, and , that the
drama of Lea Jumeaux begun in 1839, was in
terrupted in the fourth act, and so left for
twenty-nine years. Victor Hugo (allow me to
speak of him as though I were not the most
respectful of his sons) is concluding at this mo
ment a romance in fear volumes, the 'scene of
which is laid in England; while the action passes
at the conclusion of the seventeenth century and
at the - commencement of the eighteenth. The
few initiated who have seen,this new work pre
dict for it the same success which was enjoyed

euliteletitly impartial to confirm or to
contradict a prophecy that is gratifying
to' me: Victor Hugo is now writing the con
cluding chapters. You will probably have
the opportunity of seeing this new romance in
the course of the Winter. What is its title
_? The
author himself, as yet, does not know. He is
hesitating between two titles,;which, hitherto,
have pleased hint equally. T he first is L'llamme
qui (the man who laughs.) The second is
Par Ordre du Roi (by order of the King.) The
first title gives the best idea of the book; the sec
ond is the best resume of its action. The *et is
the most philosophical; the second is the most
dramatic. In my coming letter I may be able to
inform you which of the two has , been selected."

Foreign Musical Gossip.
Miss Minnie'Hauck has signed a contract with
Maurice Strakosch, binding herself - to him - for
four years. Strakosch leaves to himself in this
instrument the , piiwer of dissolving the agree
ment when it pleases him,of employing the lady's
professional services as he chooses, of ceding
them to others; in short, of disposing absolutely
of her for the period named. For this she is to
receive $l5O a month. Small as la this sum, and
hard as may appear the terms in other respects,
the arrangement unquestionably - offers a great
chance to tbe young American. If she has the
stuff hiller, Strakosch will make of her another
Patti, for no ono is better acquainted with the
requirements of a popular singer now-a-days or
is better able to develop them.
Muzio (Lucy Simons) has just con
cluded an engagement to sing in all the, principal
eithe of France. Herwhusband has completea
the Italian adaptation of the Premier Sour de
lionheur and is now arranging Les Amours en
Diable. There is no truth m the report that Sig
nor ancl_Mme-Muzio _intend returning to the
United States in the Fall, although contracts
wets o ff ered them , by Strakosch, Mapieson and
Slaretzek. Their - arrangements here precluded
their acceptance, and in all probability they will
not return to New York for some years.

VALPARAISO, July 16tb, 1868.—There 18 still a
matter of importance pending before the Cham
ber. Measures are in , agitation for remedying
the evil consequences nesting front the abandon
ment of the free trade:treaty with the Argentine
Republic. The - Goierilment ivlsbes to admit all
lire stock and dna duty free, but has resolved to
tenforce the payment of the duties on Merchan-
Oise in transit.
The merchants of Valpaiaiso have addressed a
petition to Congress, setting forth the reasons
which recommend abeeduto freedom of trade in
the interest, not only'of commerce, but of public

11 it were not the mania of us Chileans 4) Mahn
a Cabinet question of every project emanating
from the Executive, we might at once give for
ifiii-merehants our assurance that Chile will not
lose her transandine market. Government is con
vinced, but We cannot undertake to say that it
will frankly avow its error.
The debates on electoral reform are dragging
slowly on. There is no . likelihood of their
being brought to a close daringthe present legis
lative term, for each article is made the subject
of at least a dozen speeches.
Theseport of the Minister of Finance has been
presented to Congress. Among other Important
data, it contains a table showing the amount of
public revenue from 1868, as compared with that
of 1867.
From this table it appears Cita we have an In
crease of $3,475,893.
But this brilliant picture has its dark side.
Some twelve millions have been squandered in
the war with Spain, and the National exchequer
is at this moment burdened with a debt of $34,-
574,638. To meet the interest on this debt more
than three millions and a half of dollars will have
to be appropriated in the course of the next fiscal
Van
We have hod abundance of rain during the
fortnight. Farmers think they may now count
with certainty upon a good Year and look for
ward to splendid crops. .1
But the agricultural interest hqs also another
motive for congratulation. Government is mak
ing every effort for the promotion of husbandry.
t is at present occupied in extending the Grand
Central Railroad which connects Valparaiso with
the provinces of Curico, Colehaesta ana Santiago.
The line is now being carried on to Falca. Once
there, it will, with but little labor, be extended
to ChWan, thus giving Chile more than 400 miles
of rafts) , .
The-funds of which the Government disposes
for the extension of the line are the proceede
of the stock in the Southern Railway, which
amounts to more than $160,000 annnally. . .
In Santiago a fire broke tint jff the store of
Senor Brievas. The loss of property is esti
mated at $160,000, of which only $lOO,OOO were
insured.
