f T RUM—The Emperor reviewed the Imperial Guard on the race- course at Longchamps on Tuesday. The Prince Imperial and a crowd of Marshals were present. The review was so arranged as to test the rapidity with which the troops could get under arms on an alarm of the approach of an enemy. They are said to have struck tents and formed in an "incredible short space of time." At a Council held at St. Cloud, it has been determined to create a 4th battalion in every regiment of the French army, to be called "the batta- lion of reserve."

The statement of the Opinion Nationale that M. de Metternich or Baron Hubner had presented an ultimatum to the French Government, is declared by the Aleniteur to "rest on premises entirely devoid of foundation." M. Geroult, the author of the article, has been cited be- fore the tribunals to answer a charge of circulating false news. The false news was that Austria has no present intention of attacking Pied- mont, but that, should she fail to obtain a pacific solution by direct nego- tiations, she would resort to force.

M. de Metternich and Baron Hubner had an interview with the Em- peror on Sunday. According to a telegram supplied to the journals, Prince Metternich has explained to M. Thouvencl the Austrian policy. This explanation contains four points-

" 1. The interior policy of every state being intimately connected with its exterior policy, Austria will fulfil with sincerity the reforms announced by the _Diplom of the 20th October.

"2. Notwithstanding the complications in Italy, Austria will maintain her line of defensive policy. The present armaments and concentration of troops in Venetia have no other object than that of repelling any attack. "3. Austria will not abandon the system of non-intervention.

"4. Austria considers that the assembling of a Congress would not bring about a practical solution of the Italian question, unless the Great Powers agree beforehand on a common programme, of which, however, there is little likelihood."

The Roman Catholics of Savoy have joined the pro-Papal agitators in France. -They have addressed a memorial to the Pope, in which they glory in having resisted the Siecardi laws in Piedmont, and express a hope that France will reestablish the Pope in the plenitude of his tem- poral rights and possessions. Some of the leading annexationists have signed this document.

The Moniteur has published the following decree concerning those ar- ticles of merchandise of British growth or manufacture, specified in the Treaty of Commerce, which are imported into France otherwise than in French or British vessels-

" 1. A surtax of 2.ic.per 100 kilogrammes will be levied upon articles of merchandise, which are either free from all entry dues, or liable to a maxi- mum duty of 3 francs per 100 kilogrammes."

"2. The surtax decreed by the law of the 18th of April, 1816, will he ap- plied when the duty exceeds 3 francs per 100 kilogramtnes."

11115518.—The details of the Warsaw meeting are of the most meagre kind. The Emperor of Austria did not lodge in the same palace with his Russian brother, but in a palace alone. The Czar and the Prince Regent resided together in the Belvedere. It is asserted that no convention or protocol was drawn up, and that no common agreement of any kind was come to. There were conversations, dinners, balls, reviews, morning calls—personal amenities—nothing more. Only cne semi-formal meet- ing, at which the Ministers were present, was held. Before the plans of entertainment could be carried out news came of the serious illness of the Dowager Empress of Russia, and the sovereigns abrubtly separated. The Empress died on Thursday morning, a proof that her illness was no pre- text for breaking up the party. But there are two results of the meeting— "The Emperor Alexander has conferred upon Count Rechberg the Grand Cordon of the order of St. Andrew ; and the Emperor of Austria has pre- sented to Prince Gortschakoff a snuff-box richly set with diamonds." The following anecdote, whether true or not, is said to represent the feelings of the Russian army towards Austria- " When the Czar left St. Petersburg for Warsaw he is reported to have said to his aides-dc-camp, so as to counterbalance the bad impression caused by the news of the intended interview with the Emperor of Austria, 'Gen- tlemen, it has been said that I have spontaneously invited the Emperor of Austria to Warsaw ; it is not so. The Emperor Francis Joseph requested me to meet him in that eity,and I confined myself to the reply thatI should be happy to receive him." A "foreign ambassador," it is said, sent this report of the meeting to his Government.

"The two Emperors and the Prince Regent had only one official meeting ; and it is known that at this conference no resolutions were come to calcu- lated to offset the interests of Europe. Theklovereigns did not give way to any lengthened discussion about Italian affairs. The Czar showed little cordiality in his reception of the Emperor Francis Joseph. The Regent of Prussia as represented as very guarded in the little he said."

A telegram from Vienna, Oct. 31, makes these statements-- • "Count Rechberg has given explanations to the diplomatic corps in refer- ence to the interview at Warsaw. According to these explanations, Austria put the three following questions to Russia and Prussia, viz.—Will Russia and Prussia recognize the facts which have been or may be accomplished in Italy ? Should Austria be attacked by Sardinia, and the latter be sup- ported by another great Power, what would be their attitude ? In the event of another war, and of its being transferred to any part of the territory of

the Prussia Perman Confederation, what would Pssia do ? Count R in-

formed n- formed the diplomatic corps that the Austrian Government is about to address a circular note to its representatives abroad on the nature and result of the Warsaw interview."

In5tr18.—The Emperor reached Vienna on his return from Warsaw on Saturday. He was diseatisfied with the issue of his visit—a merely personal reconciliation. The constitution for Styria has been published. It gives the inhabitants of that province very meagre powers, and has created no confidence. Austria continues to augment her immense force in Venetia, by sending reserve battalions to join their head-quarters.

13 ungarq.—Some of the inhabitants of Pesth did not receive with any welcome the Emperor's concessions. An illumination was proposed; it could not be had, because the authorities feared a riot. In fact, a mob did on the 23d and 24th create disturbances, by attacking houses where lights appeared. The soldiers charged and roughly handled them. A letter from Vienna tells this story- " Before setting out to his new post in Italy, the freedom of the city of Pesth was offered to Count Benedek by a deputation of the Town Council. The gallant General rejected the tender with these words= I do not care for the freedom of your city. You have had a series of most disgraceful riots, even after the benevolent conceseions of a most gracious monarch. It cannot Contribute to the honour or aoyfonc to be niunber6d among the citizens of such a town. I tell you what, gentlemen, you do not half know me. If ever I return to Petab,'ancl another occasion should arise for the military to charge your mobs, it will be a matter of perfect indifference to me the number of the dead. '

The official Wiener Zeitung contains the following Imperial resolution, dated 30th of October, decreeing the appointments of the different digni- taries in Hungary—

Count Barkoczy, Chief Hungarian Chamberlain. Another resolution appoints thirty-nine provincial judges and six refererniaries to the Court of Chancery, among whom is Court Coun- cillor. Zsendenyi and Bishop Korizmics.

PIM RH 11.—In the sitting of the Federal Diet on Saturday, the notice given by Sardinia of the blockade of Ancona was discussed. The As- sembly resolved upon simply shelving this notice; declaring at the same time that they could not altogether agree with the policy of .Sardinia in Italy. alle Federal Diet resolved in the same sitting upon the expediency of equipping the Federal fortresses with rifled guns, and declared that it gratefully accepted the offer of Prussia in reference to this new kind of armament.

1111 in.—In the Cortes, Marshal O'Donnell has twice stated that, although Seiler Rios Roses goes to Rome on a' mission,- the Spanish Go- vernment has resolved to maintain neutrality in the affairs of Italy, The Marshal protested also against a speech by the Deputy Aparici' in which doubts were expressed as to the loyalty of the Emperor of the French towards the Spanish Government. The Government has pre- sented a project of law to the Cortes, fixing the strength of the army for 1861 at 100,000 men.

$11Illt.—The French troops continue their operations in Syria. They have met with little or no opposition, and have reinstated the Ilaronites in their villages; but they have exasperated without being able to punish the Druses, who have eluded them.

L—The following telegrams give the important information of the capture of the Taku forts and the occupation of Tien-tein--

. Ofcial Account. "Foreign Office, Normnber 1.—Accounts were received, late last night, from her Majesty's agent and Consul General in Egypt, through Trieste, announcing that the Peiho forts were taken by the Allies on the 21st of August, and that the British and French Ambassadors were at Tien-tsin on the 26th."

"Shanghai, September 4.—The Taku Forts were taken on the 21st August. The Allied Plenipotentiaries arrived at Tien-tsin on the 26th. They would start shortly for Pekin, escorted by cavalry. The Chinese Government has promised them an honourable reception.

"The rebels have withdrawn from Shanghai, and a better feeling of security has since prevailed. On the 18th and 20th August they attempted to enter the city, but were repulded with terrible loss.

" Shanghai, September 4.—The Taku forts were captured on the 21st August, after five hours hard fighting. The enemy were allowed to march out, leaving munitions, &e. The Allies lost 400 men killed and wounded. No British officer was killed. The 67th and 44th regiments, and the marines, with 1500 French, were the troops principally engaged."

' z ,—The East Indian territories of the Dutch are now exposed

to the peril of the British in 1857 from mutiny. The Dutch force con- sists of 20,000 men, nominally, of which one-third are Europeans. lint of that third only about a fourth are Dutch, the rest are formed of mer- cenaries drawn from the dregs of every army in Europe. An occasional correspondent of the Times writes from Batavia, under date of August the 23d— ' "As the geography of the Dutch East Indies is not very well known to English readers, I may state that the three principal towns in Java are Batavia, Semarang, and Sourabaya, all lying on the north coast of the island, and strongly garrisoned. The mutiny has hitherto been confined to Semarang and Sourabaya. At the former place it was discovered by a Dutch sergeant,who ascertained on the evening of the 16th instant that a simultaneous rising of all the mercenaries was to take place next morning. Be communicated the intelligence to his commanding officer, who mime-' diately ordered that the native troops should, with all secrecy, get under arms. It so happens that these occupy the ground floor of the barracka, the European troops being located above them. The former were posted at the door, and ordered to fire on every European- who attempted to come downstairs. The mutineers quickly took the alarm, and, as they could not escape by the door, commenced firing from the windows. As, however, it was already dark., they fired mostly at random, and their ammunition was soon nearly exhausted. By this time, the National Guard had mustered, consisting of the whole European population capable of bearing arms, and

the barracks were surrounded. The greater part of the mutineers now cried for quarter, which was granted to them, on condition that not more than three should descend at once, and that each should bring with him two muskets. The condition was accepted, and thus, while one-half of the mutineers were safely handed over to the authorities, the other half were left without arms. Speedy justice has been executed on the ringleaders, upwards of thirty having been hanged. The mutineers probably expected the natives to revolt along with them ; but in this hope they have been disappointed, and there seems at present to be no cause for anxiety or un- easiness in that quarter. The question has often been asked, Why were not the foreign troops which our country enlisted during the Crimean war sent out to India ?' To this inquiry the present mutiny in the Dutch East Indian army affords a very significant answer. Not irifbie of the present mutineers belonged to our German Legion."
