The policy of Napoleon. It is hard to penetrate the real purposes of the Emperor of the French in regard to Italy. Many persons give him credit for the romantic generosity of desiring to emancipate that people without fee or reward. Possibly, a smile lights up some wrinkle of his saturnine visage when he beholds such refreshing evidences of juvenile credulity and confidence.--Not long before the Crimean war he issued a pamphlet sustaining his own positions by the example of the great Napoleon, who, he said, only desired to make Italy French that she might become Italian. The Italians of that day were greatly pleased with the prospect, but when they saw Lombardy and Venetian parcelled out into Dukedoms and Principalities, and bestowed on the Marshals and political favorites of the Emperor, their enthusiasm subsided. Savoy and Nice are the first evidences that Louis Napoleon does not go a warfare upon his own charges, but they are not the last.

rance should place herself at the head of a general reaction. I will not allow myself to be diverted from my path by either of these opposite inducements. It is sufficient for the greatness of the country that its rights be maintained where they are incontestable; to defend its honor wherever it may be attacked, and to afford its support where it is supplicated in favor of a just cause. It is thus that we have maintained our rights in causing the recognition of the cession of Savoy and Nice. These provinces are now irrevocably united (re-united) to France. At Rome I considered it necessary to increase the garrison, when the security of the Holy Father appeared to be threatened. I sent my fleet to Gaeta at the moment when it seemed that it must be the last refuge of the King of Naples. After having allowed it to remain there four months, I withdrew it; however worthy of sympathy might be a royal misfortune so nobly supported. The presence of our war vessels obliged u

naments, relics, and the costly presents made him by sovereigns, carefully packed in boxes, to Spain. The Cardinals are expecting to be forced to a general flight; a French bishop has received a letter from a cardinal, in which the latter says: "The situation of affairs grows worse daily, and I foresee new misfortunes, which will force us to leave Rome; perhaps I shall be glad to find with you a refuge from the tempest. Several of the cardinals think of retiring to the south of France or to Nice, for as that town no longer belongs to Piedmont, we may reside there with something like security." The French Government makes its soldiers take long marches every day, and they carry with them several days' provisions; this is to inure them to war's fatigues. It is said Louis Napoleon has invented a new musket, which will carry a ball three thousand yards, and pierce the thickest obstacles; its barrel is said to be very short and the stock very thick.--Russia is said to be endeavoring

ould that happen?" "Bill did have juces fust — I'll swear to that," resumed the witness; "but somehow, when it come to the last, he was stronger." The lawyers, thinking he was about to continue the story to an endless length, requested him to be brief. Taking a fresh "chew," Steve said: "The way of it was this; When I kivered the pile, Bill called Lem. Says he, 'Lem, what have you fur yourself?' 'I have three of 'em,' says Lem, reaching out his arm.-- 'Three what?' says Bill. 'Nice little spots, all in the middle of the keerd,' says Lem, laying his fist on the money. 'Show 'em,' says Bill. 'Thar they be,' says Lem. 'That's clever,' says Bill, 'but they can't win this pop.' 'How so?' says Lem, puttin' his hand on his revolver. 'Coas here's four of the same sort,' says Bill, puttin' one hand on the money and tother on his revolver. All I know is, Bill got the pot before he was arrested." The lawyer for the plaintiff intended to have made a good case in relation to t

der his command, had been violently attacked by an over whelming body of insurgents. Muley Soliman is said to have been recognized as Emperor of Morocco by several tribes, and was encamped about twenty-five miles from Fez, with a considerable force. He is represented as in a position to assume the offensive, and make a serious war against his brother the present Emperor. The Paris Patrie, of June 3d, says that Prince Napoleon, after visiting, in company with the Princess Clothilde, Nice, Ajaccio, Bastia, Tunis, Oran, Algiers, Malaga, Cadiz, and Lisbon, he will take leave of her in the latter city. The Princess will return to France in the Jerome Napoleon, and the Prince will cross the Atlantic in the Reine Hortense, to visit New York and the principal American ports. His absence from France is expected to extend over three months. Rights of privateers. In the House of Commons, on the 3d of June, in reply to a question by W. E. Forster, Lord John Russell said:

Count Cavour. The Zurich correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce refers to the emphatic declaration of Count Cavour before the Sardinian Parliament, that neither in any public act, nor in any private negotiation, nor in any conference or convention, was a demand or even an allusion ever made that Piedmont should be required to cede a foot's breadth of Italian territory. This declaration does not shed any new light on the much talked of matter of another cession to France. Count Cavour, says the correspondent, like all diplomatists, knows how to disguise truth; his assurances are not worth a straw. Last year he gave just as positive assurances in regard to Nice and Savoy.

who had not changed his position, but was puffing vigorously at his cigar. "You're bright people, all of you, 'pon my word; now, Beg, see if you can trot back to the stable, and put my horse in better quarters than you at first intended; and hearken, lad, tell that spoony of a wife of yours to fix up something hot — I'm blasted hungry. Now, then, what are you all gaping at me for!" added the Tomtit, surveying the group with a derisive smile. "Didn't know me, when I've cheated you so often!--Nice fellows!" The gang, indeed, looked very foolish at the unexpected denouement; their weapons were once more returned to their hiding-places, and they stood staring at their chief, scarcely believing their own eyes. "Ther devil 'imself would find it 'ard to tell ye," observed Dick, sulkily. "Vy, Beg, as knows everybody, with von eye, gets taken in; but, Tomtit, vot's the news!" "Never you trouble your head for that, it will come in good time," replied the Tomtit, draining a glass

Disgraceful. --A prize fight took place on Saturday, at Troy, N. Y., between two women. It lasted three quarriers of an hour, and is said to have been a bloody affair. It was gotten up by two brutes in male attire. One of the women was badly beaten, both eyes being swollen, and the other woman had her thumb dislocated and her head nearly broken. Nice work for Trojans!

ger outcry Mr. Bright made against the inequalities of our representation! Yet when he was taken at his word, and the seats for Sudbury were transferred to the West Riding of Yorkshire, how transparent became the source of his clamor! It was not to equalize representation that he demanded an equitable distribution of seats, but simply to take seats from those whose politics were opposed to his, and to give them to those who agreed with him. We thought he was for peace at any price. "Perish Nice, rather than go to war about it! " "Let Savoy go — but save your money!" All because the Emperor of the French was the spoiler. Shift the scene of his "political ethics" --move two thousand miles away — make the experimentum in corpere not a monarchy which is worth no Manchester man's regard, but a model Republic that infallible pope of constitutions, and we find the member for Birmingham roaring for a war — a civil war — denouncing the assertion of the title to self- government — ignori

ngton, N. C., Jan. 11, 1861. It is truly a treat to the weary traveler "to lie over" a day in this city. "It pays." if he will only stir about enough to see and hear what may be seen and heard. Wilmington was probably, in the early history of the war, a greater sufferer than any city in the South. She had been wholly dependent upon the North for almost every article of food. But now butter, chickens, and everything one could ask for his table is pouring down from the mountains. Nice butter may be had from 40 to 45 cents; bacon at 20 cents, and other things in proportion. I take pleasure in informing you of an important invention, by means of which our soldiers are being shielded from the cold and dampness of tent life. Blankets are being made of the moss which is to be found in such immense quantities around the trees in many portions of the South. Yesterday six hundred of these blankets passed through this city — They are thick and as warm as any blanket. Here t
