Fnarres.—Pursuing the career of President Bonaparte through the provinces, which we are told is no longer a tour but a triumphal march, we find Lim leaving Nevers on the 16th instant, for Moulins. Tie road lay out of the great railway routes, and he travelled in a post-chaise. Rain fell all day ; and the dripping carriage dashed through villages and townlets, whose populations, well prepared beforehand, were disappointed of their holyday. On the extemporized arches and public buildings were the Imperial devices we have so often quoted.

Moulins was dressed to receive M. Bonaparte ; and in spite of the rain he drove through her streets in an open carriage. He was received as " rEmpereur, " and addressed in the cathedral by M. de Dreux Brae, Bishop of Moulins. A concert, a ball, an illumination, were prepared for the evening.

Next day, M. Bonaparte proceeded to Roanne. Here he was not so well received, it is said : in fact, Roan= has not yet elected a Municipal Chamber, for lack of voters who will vote. Nevertheless, great prepar- ations were made by the officials; and there was a show of cordiality. One of the triumphal arches bore the inscription, "The town of Roanne gives itself to Louis Napoleon " ; and a bystander remarked that in 1848 it had given itself to Ledni-Rollin.

He entered St. Etienne on the 1811 ; having been meted first by an advanced guard of colliers of the Loire, at some distance from the town ; and the reports of the Illhniteur make much of the appearance of the work- men in great numbers, their cries, and the erection of a triumphal arch of coal. The "whole population," we are told, cried " Vive rEmpereur !" and the disinterested writer of the despatches from the Prefecture says, " I wish France and the whole of Europe had been present at this sin- gular change in the public mind." A specimen of the telegraphic de- spatches published by the Government may not be amiss. St. Etienne, Sept. 18. Five p.m. "The Prince's journey is a triumphal march. It is not merely the sym- pathy of a people for a good government ; it is the highest expression of gratitude and joy. All the villages are dressed out with flags, banners, and devices. On all sides are to be seen triumphal arches, and to be heard the cry of Vive l'Empereur ' All the cries, all the inscriptions, all the ad- dresses, express the hopes entertained of the Empire, `Ave, Camas Impe- rater !' was the device over the gate of St. Etienne. Five thousand work- men had raised at the mouth of a coal-pit a triumphal arch of coal, with the words Vive l'Empereur!' inscribed above. That cry is, in fact, the general welcome. The population of the faubourg manifested just as much ardour es the colliers in their reception of the Prince."

From St. Etienne he went by train to Lyons; where he arrived at half-past two on Sunday. The keys of the city were presented to'im ; e immense crowds" shouted the common cry ; in short, "the entry of the Prince into Lyons was magnificent." On the same evening there was a ball and an illumination; an " enormous assemblage of the population," shrieking " Vive mpereur!" with " perfect order and real enthusiasm,"—so say our Prefectorial authorities.

Among the incidents of the day, the grand salute, the immense muster of troops, the reported gathering of working men, and the evening cele- brations, there is one which occurred on the line of march from the railway station. A triumphal arch "painted in the Prince's colours" was raised "in the middle of the quay near the slaughterhouse " ; on its crest was an eagle, and on each side the following inscriptions- " Reduction of the Town Dues—Military Medal—Pensions--Suppression of the Bagne—Reduction of the Intermit on the National Debt—Agricul- tural Bank—Reduction of the Rate of Diecount--20th December 1851, and 10th December 1848."

Under this splendid token of the adhesion of the butchers, Louis Napo- leon stopped for a moment, whilst some children greeted him 4' with an offering of flowers" ; and the Master of the Corporation of Butchers pre- sented 'him with an address, expressing (appropriately, no doubt) the de- votedness of his craft to the cause of the Usurper.

One of the chief ceremonies at Lyons was the inauguration of an eques- trian statue to Napoleon, executed by the artist Nieuwerkerko. Presi- dent Bonaparte was not backward in seizing the occasion to make one of those striking speeches which have characterized his political conduct.

"Lyonese=tour city was always associated by remarkable incidents with the different phases in the life of the Emperor. You saluted him as Consul when he went beyond the mountains to gather fresh laurels; you after- wards saluted him as all-powerful Emperor ; and lastly, when Europe had banished'him to an bland, you were among the first, in 1815, to again salute him as Emperor.

"Now your city is the first to raise'a statue to his memory. This feet is a significant one. Equestrian statues are only treated to sovereigns who have reigned. Thus the governments which have preceded me have always refused this homage to a.power the legitimacy of whith they would not admit.

"And yet who was more legitimate than the Emperor?.-elected three times by the people; crowned by the head of the Church ; recognized by all the 'Continental Powers of Europe, who allied themselves to 'him both by bonds of a political nature and by those cif blood'?

"The Emperor was the mediator between two conflicting ages : he de- stroyed the old regime in reestablishing all that was good in it ; and he de- stroyed the Revolutionary spirit by everywhere causing the, benefits of the Revolution to triumph. That is the reason Arty they who overthrew him soon had to deplore their success.. As to those who defended him, it is unne- cessary or me to remind you how much they have *vett:veer his fell. "And so it was, that as ewe as the people saw themselves at liberty to make their choice, they east their eyes on the heir of Napoleon ; end for the :same reason, from Paris to Lyons, on every point of any passage, a uneni- mom cry of 'Vive l'Empereur !' has been raised. But ie. my eyes this cry is much more a sorter& which touches my heart than a hope whith letters my pride.

"Faithful servant of the nation, I never shall have but one object, and that is,. to reconstitute in this great country, convulsed by so hfany 'commotwns and Utopian schemes, a peace baited on conciliation for men, inflexibility of piinciples Of authority, love for the labouring classes, and na- tional dignity.

"We hare but jute extricated ourselves from those moments of crisis where, in consequence of notions.of good mid evil being confounded together, the best minds have been perverted. Prudence and patriotism demand that atonal times the nation should reflect before it decides on its destinies; end it is yet difficult for me to know under what 'name I can render the greatest services. "If the modest title of President can-facilitate the mission confided to me, and before which I have never held back, it is not I who from personal in- terest would desire to change that name for the title of Emperor.

"Let us then lay on that stone our homage to a great man; in doing so we shell hollow et the same time the glety of France and the generous gratitude of the people. That act will also testify to the fidelity of the peci- pie of Lyons to immortal souvenina."

The President left Lyons, and arrived at Grenoble on Tuesday, amid

the firing of-artillery, according to the lifonitea;r, "the acclamations of the entire population." As at Lyons, so here were the keys presented ;• the authorities submissive, and the clergy abject. The official scribe sleeking, in his hyperbolical fashion, that "the presence of the nephew of the Emperor filled with joy the patriotic inhabitants Of DttuPhine: Actiyity pervades the naval yards of France. TWO large tiereW- steaniers haee lately been litenched ; the Austerlitz of 100 guns, at Cher- bourg on the 15th, and the Jean Bart, of 100 grins, at L'Orient.

After the launch of the Austerlitz, which had bee% perforreed in the presence of M. Duce* the Minister of Marine, that gentleinan dined with the Mayor and a select company. They drank to his health ; and his speech in reply contained the following passage-

" It is from the Chief of the State that-the initiative emanates; and, after having saved France from the horrors of anarchy, he noiv gives a new im- pulse to the pacific development of est naval force, with all the activity and all the resolution of his genius. He delights in your magnificent port, created by the great man of modern times. He loves and honours the French navy, because he has ever in his mind the brilliant deeds actetteplished at Navatino and the Tagus, at Mogador an I at Algiers, at St. John d'Ililea and the Obliged°, because he knows that the destiny of nations may one day be decided in the great game of sea-fights. Let us respond to his patriotic in- stincts in a manner worthy of him and of ourselves. Let us give hike all the gratitude and .devotedness we possess. I propose to you a toast which will be sympathetic.,-' To the Chief of the State, Whom I tell yon we shall one day call the restorer of the French navy to the prosperity and greatness of Cherbourg.' " BELGIUSI. —Decrees were published in the Belgian Ifoniteur of Satire day, one forrimily accepting the resignation of M. Fiere-Orban, and On- mullein.. M. Liedts as his successor to the Ministry of Finance; the other conyoki4 the Chambers for Monday next. Some explanations are given by the official paper respecting the treaty negotiations, which would appear to have been the ostensible Caen of the late resignation of the Ministry-

" On the same day that the members of the Cabinet tendered their resig- nation to the King, instructions were sent to Paris with a view to the sus- pension of the commercial negotiations, and to apply for the prorogation of the treaty of 1815 until a new Ministry could resume the negotiations, and make the State responsible for its proceedings. The French Government rejected the demand for prorogation, or attached to it conditions which were not considered acceptable by the Cabinet. When the negotiations were after- wards resumed, a difference of opinion arose between the Minister 'of Finances and his colleagues. From this time the Minister of Finances haring ceased to take part in the negotiations which led to the 'treaty of the 22d of Au- gust, and to the subsequentpropositions, he thought it right to persist in his resignation."

It will be seen, therefore, that the late Minister, M. Feere-Orban, stood alone in the treaty question. The ifoni4eur announces Parliamentary ex- planations of the whole crisis.

Some fresh tariff difficulties have arisen between France and Belgium ; but their nature is not explained. Neither the Paris Moniteur nor the Brussels Independence seems to apprehend anything serious from them. But one result is very tangible, and immediate. The French Govern- ment has raised, by a decree, the duties on coal and iron imported from Belgium. The Conetitutionnel explains that this has been done in conse- quence of "a refusal to satisfy the demands of the French Government." The Paris lfoniteur says the decree was suggested by the consideration that it bad become "indispensable to adopt on the side of France mea- sures calculated to restore equality in the consequences of the system of common law which henceforth will govern the commercial relations be- tween France and Belgium."

A 4' Hygienic Conference" began its sittings at Brussels on Monday. About two hundred gentlemen, Belgians and foreigners, attended; they

met in the Royal Aoademy Of Medicine. Amongst the English Were Viscount Ebrington, Mr. F. 0. Ward, Dr. Arndt, Mr. Charles Cochrane, Mr. Holland of Manchester, and Mr. Roberts, architect of Prince Albert'scottages. M. Bogies, the Minister of the Interior, was chosen honorary President; M. Vlemincex, President of the Academy of Medicine, acting for him. The Conference resolved itself into sections, four in number : one is charged to occupy itself with workmen's houses, baths, washhouses,

and hospitals; -with sewers, the distribution of water, and venti- lation the tird, with the organization of public health, the maintaining of children, interments, and cemeteries ; and the fourth with the 'Raul- teration of food, the labour of children in workshops, and prostitution.

HOLLAND. —The States-General were opened by the Bing in person ou Monday. The whole speech was a proclamation of the prosperous date of the country.; and of all that appertained to Government both at horde and abroad. In one sentence there is some novelty. " Invited by 'a powerful friendly state, and following the precedent of 1844,4 bays the King, " I have promised my good Offices in favour df an -attempt obtain a' modification of the exclusive system hitherto tetthiteleed by the Japanese empire." This is an obVious allusion to 'the United States. The speech was greeted with cries of " Vive le Rei Rosso.—Changes are announced in the personnel of the Ministry. An order of the day by the Czar, issued on the 7th, relieves the Cavalry Ge- neral Tchetnysoheff of the duty of Minister of Wart which he has pet- fornied for five-tutd-twenty years. The General will continue to dis- charge the functions of President of 'the Council of the Empire ; Prinee Dolgorotrlli I., a former Adjutant of the War Minister, is raised to the head Of his depaRlinnt. 'Generals Berg E. and Ignatieff I. are named members of the Council of the Empire; ansl a long series of Proinoticiris takes place among the superior caters of the army.

ITALY. —Sir Henry Bulwer has had an interview with the Cardinal Secretary at Rome; and the ,rournal des Debits publishes a letter per- leering to give the substance of the conversation. It is said that, among Other things, Sir Henry "demanded" copies Of the legal documents in the case of Edward Murray ; and that the Cardinal replied that he was tillable to give them ; adding these wade= "Ajudgment has been recorded in England which astonished and affileteil us. Bet, whatever may have bent our astonishinent and afflictidh, we do not wish to question the verffiet [in the cat* df Newdian] pronounced by a jury .legally constituted by a regular government, the master of its penal legislation. We also are a regular governmeht; we have a penal legislation different from youfs, but it is a legislation sanctioned by. the Prince, applied during Many year's in the country, and functioning according to rules of which we do not admit the right of any other government to de- mand the justification. Murray lias fallen under the infliction of that pen Al code. Zt was applied to him regularly, according to the usual custom. To demand the communication of the .proceedings, would be casting it doubt on the judgment; which would be an insult to the Rotnan state, whith has con- fided to that court the honour, the property, and the lives of its subjects." rt should be kept in mind that the authority for this story is purely French, and published under the eye of the Bmtapartean censors. SeAne.--Accorditig to the Madrid Gazette of the 14th, English ships are to be, placed on the same footing as Spanish ships, in respect to port and navigation dues, in all the ports of Spain. This would appear to be a re- ciprocal arrangement between the two GoVernments ; tor we arc informed that this regulation takes effect as from September 2d, the day on Which official advites were received that Spanish ships would 'enjoy similar privileges in British ports.

UNITED STATES . —The Asia arrived at Liverpool oh Monday, with papers from New York to the 8th instant. The journals signalize a most important movement. Yucatan, they declare, has actually applied to the Goternment of the United States for protection and annexation. The " Order of the Lone Star" was still an absorbing topic. A fervid letter in the Times of Wednesday, by its correspondent at New York, dated September the 7th, testifies to this. The movement, ho asserts, is getting to be a formidable affair ;and, to justify opinion that during the coining fall and winter smite events of importance th Cuba will take plitee, he enumerates a set of striking facts.

The resolution to avenge the death of Lopez, he writes, has never slept. " Lopez was canonized as a martyr of liberty ; and thousands who would hover have justified his acts were ready to punish his executioners," But a stronger reason is adduced. The pardoned captives did not return home " to tell the history. of the rights they had infringed, but of the. wrongs they had suf- fered." " Araong them were men from almost every one of Our thirty-one States. Each had near conneadone and relations with thousands that knew and loved him ; and when these thousands of districts came to hear of the brutality of the Cuban Government—the death' of Lopez in the public square by the garotte, and the shooting of half-a-hundred Americans in the back, after they had been compelled to kneel—all these recitals stirred an indigna- tion in the hearts of our people which cannot be appeased except by the ex- termination of Spanish power from that island." And profiting by experience, the Lone Star men are prepared to avoid the blunders which ended in the miscarriage of the Lopez expedition. " The Americans have lost all confidence in the Creoles" ; " they are regarded as traitors." " Americans have confidence in one another, but nobody any longer believes the word of a Cubano. So the Americans will keep their own counsels, they will head their own expedition, and they will go more com- pletely prepared for the contest than any company of invaders ever could have gone at any other period of the world's history."

"The administration of the new Captain-General of Cuba has borne so heavily upon the island, that a far greater amount of discontent exists now than at any former period There has not been, during the memory of the present generation, so cruel and tyrannical a Government in Cuba. So say the Cubans, Spaniards, and Creoles ; so say our American travellers ; and so say the crowded castles and dungeons of the island. Under the plea that our occupation of Cuba would end the slave-trade there, the Northern States would join in and justify the movement ; and, with the knowledge that Cuba would bring to the South nearly a million of slaves, the Southern States would do the same thing ; while all Americans and all friends of liberty everywhere would rejoice if so fair and fertile an island should (with- out crime or blood) fall under the mild and benignant sway of a powerful and well-organized Republic. So say the Lone Star men ; and there is cer- tainly some force in all this. It is, at all events, persuasive, and every day brings them the adhesion of hundreds." The writer cites the fact that funereal masses in behalf of those who suf- fered in Cuba have been said not only in New Orleans but in New York ; indicating, he says, that the Lone Star men have the sympathy of the Ca- tholic Church.

He points to the severe policy pursued by Called°, as indicative of extreme discontent. "Nearly or quite 150 persons have been arrested in various

parts of the island, and are now in the prisons of Havannah. Nine young

men who were engaged in printing the Voice of the People of Cuba, a clan- destine revolutionary sheet, have been arrested, and a telegraphic despatch

from New Orleans yesterday announces that they are all to be garotted. The present Governor Cafiedo has made known his resolution to show no mercy to any person engaged in any conspiracy against his authority—' They

shall all suffer the garotte, with every indignity known in the annals of jus- tice..

In conclusion, the letter states the belief of the writer that the Cubans are bent on independence, and that the look of things makes it highly probable that a bloody struggle is approaching. The announcements made by the English Ministerial papers on the Fishery question are flatly contradicted by the New York Journal of Com- merce; which states, that "there has been neither settlement, nor arrange- ment, nor negotiation on the subject" of the fisheries ; and that "for the present there is not to be any." Further, the writer would convict every- body of error, and show that the whole agitation was built on blunders. "The difficulties that at first apparently surrounded the question have disappeared, in consequence of a better knowledge, on the part of our Go- vernment, of the circumstances of the case. All the misapprehension which existed in this country on the subject of the British orders and pretensions, and all the ill-feeling that prevailed in consequence of it, were caused by the blundering manner in which the new British Ministry took their measures for the protection of the shore fisheries of their American Colonies. No ade- quate explanation has been given of their neglect to communicate orders, dated May the 26th, to the Government, prior to the 5th of July. If Mr. Webster's public notice of the 6th of July was calculated to produce alarm and excitement in Congress and throughout the country, so the British orders which he had received were equally well calculated to create in his mind the belief that the British Government had undertaken to enforce a construction of the renunciation clause in the treaty of 1818 which would in effect destroy the American fishing business. Upon explanations, how- ever, which were subsequently made, our Government became perfectly well satisfied that it was the real purpose of the Imperial Government to do nothing more than to enforce the observance of the renunciation clause according to our construction of it, and that in doing this they were to exercise caution and forbearance."

He adds, that the action of Admiral Seymour has been not only unex- ceptionable, but positively beneficial, " inasmuch as he has protected our fishing fleet from those seizures which would have been'made by Colonial cruisers under the Colonial construction of the convention, and has also promoted the American cod-fishery by excluding the French fishing-ves- sels from the coast of Labrador" ; and he pointedly says—" The British Ministerial press may therefore well say that the question is settled ; for it has settled itself."

News from San Francisco confirms the remarkable progress of the Chi- nese immigration. Chinese villages—Pekin, Canton, Hongkong—were springing up ; and some of these contained upwards of fifteen hundred persons. The numbers which have arrived since May had nearly tripled that of the previous quarter. Altogether, there were nearly thirty thou- sand Chinese in California, in August ; and it was confidently expected they would shortly mount up to nearly fifty thousand.

Another steam-boat " accident " on the Hudson happened on the 5th instant. The Reindeer exploded, and thirty people were killed.

Wear Linres.—The Parana arrived at Southampton on Tuesday, with mails flom the British and foreign West Indies. The latest date is Sep- tember 3d.

Jamaica is reported as being in a deplorable state : disease was thin- ning the scanty labouring population, and emigration-ships were carrying off the planters. Two brigs had arrived, one at Kingston and the other at Falmouth, to carry off proprietors, planters, and persons engaged in agri- culture. Earthquakes had been felt at Kingston.

Trinidad is reported to be in a satisfactory state.

A meeting was held at Castries, in Santa Lucia, on the 14th of August, on the old subject of West Indian distress ; and petitions to the Queen and the two Houses of Parliament were adopted, praying for some modi- fication of the legislative acts of 1896 and 1848 regulating the duties on sugar imported into the United Kingdom, and for such other relief as the present extreme distress of the inhabitants of this colony should call for. A deputation was appointed to back up these views.
