The Handbook of Sovereigns. The Almanac de Guten presents this year some curious discrepancies worthy of note. It preserves in their places the States of Italy which have been annexed to the Pledmonies Monarchy, and yet admits the Kingdom of Italy, saying, "Victor Emanuel takes by the law of the 17th of March, 1861. the title of King in Italy." In addition, full details of the new provinces are given in the statistical plan. But on the other hand, it admits some new States not before recognized by the Almanac, such as the republic of Hayll, the Kingdom of the Sandwich Islands, and the Empires of Japan and China. In the Sandwich islands, the King, named Alexander Giholiho Kamashomeha IV., is declared to be twenty six years old, and married to an American lady, Miss Ruker, His son has the title of Prices of Hawaii; his brother is Generalissimo, and his sister Prime Minister J — He has a Council of State, three Ministers, and a Marshal, a Receiver General, and a Supreme Court.

ld "give the necessary guarantees for the independence of the Pope." On the 30th of May M. Thouvenel instructed the Marquis do Lavalepe to urge Cardinal Antonelli to accept a compromise, Italy renouncing her pretensions to Rome, and engaging to respect the Papal territory and assume the greater part of the Papal debt. On the 24th of June, the Marquis de Lavalette informed M. Thouvenel that Cardinal Antonelli had decisively rejected all proposals for a "transaction" between Pius IX. and Victor Emanuel. His Eminence replied just as he had replied to similar propositions previously, and just what it was well known he would reply to these-- "Non possumus." The Pope's conscience would not allow him to make any relinquishment of the territory he received. Italy. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Cloride arrived at Turin on the 24th ultima, to take part in the ceremonies attending the marriage of the Princess Maria with the King of Portugal. They were received with enthusiasm. Th
argo is on English account?" The papers, unfortunately, not having the Consular seal attached, were not considered proof, and the Brilliant and her cargo were in consequence seized by Semmes as a prize. Personal appearance of Semmes. Captain Hagar says that, however much Semmes may have had the appearance of a gentleman when an officer of the United States Navy, he has entirely changed now. He sports a huge moustache the ends of which are waxed in a manner to throw that of Victor Emanuel entirely in the shade, and it is evident that it occupies much of his attention. His steward wares it every day carefully, and so prominent is it that the sailors of the Alabama term him "Old Beeswar." His whole appearance is that of a corsair, and the transformation appear to be complete from Commander Raphael Semmes, United States Navy, to a combination of Lafitte, Kidd, and libbs, the three most notorious pirates the world has ever known. The officers of the Alabama are reporte
sible for the following: A diamond wedding is so firmly believed to be at hand that all the uptowners are talking about it, and I feel at liberty to divulge a few of the exciting particulars. The lady in the case is a charming young heiress, the ward of a well known citizen of aristocratic respectability, and a "general" added to his civic title. The gentleman is a distinguished Italian nobleman, now on a visit to this country by special leave of the Court of Turin. He is one of Victor Emanuel's military side and is obliged by court etiquette to solicit the consent of his Sovereign before he can enter into a matrimonial alliance. The royal consent has already been forwarded by letter. I believe, but at any rate it is a certainly, and the marriage is regarded by police society as une affaire decides. I should scarcely be justified in giving you any of the names just yet, but I may say that the titled suitor is not the Count Achille de Veechy, who is another member of Victor E
gation they have no belief — her independence is to be acknowledged and guaranteed. They will say — you have had three years and the resources of the world to end this rebellion. If you cannot do it in that time, you never can. The war is too great an injury to the commerce of the world to go on for an indefinite period. We must interfere for our own interests, and in the cause of humanity and civilization. They will say to you as they will to Russia, as France, at least, will say to Victor Emanuel: This has been going on long enough. It becomes a nuisance and must be put a stop to. "There is another fact you are not to lose right of. Englishmen, as well as others, have pride of opinion. They are not willing to be found in the wrong. Now, there is scarcely an Englishman of either of the great parties, from Derby and Palmerston, Russell and Gladstone, down, who have not committed themselves to the success of the rebellion.--There is scarcely an Englishman of any political re
Bermuda. --We have files of Hamilton (Bermuda) papers, of the 2d inst. The friend who brought them says the feeling there in favor of the Confederacy is almost unanimous. St. Georges is full of business with "Dixie" just now. The wharves of the harbor are piled high with cotton. The St. Georges Advocate has the following squib: Betting on the Omni-National Derby. 3 to 2 on John Bull's British Constitution, offered. 10 to 1 against Napoleon's French Empire. 15 to 2 against Victor Emanuel's United Italy, taken. 50 to 1 against C zar Alexander's Quiet Poland. 100 to 1 against Austria's Hungarian Independence. 10,000 to 1 against Abe Lincoln's War Policy. 100,000,000 to 1 against American Re-Union
smartness and trickery in his letters. Give two rumors and Malakoff will swear to four facts. He has a pretentious way of dealing with State matters which retains me of Samuel Pepys, in the King's Rival. He leaves the news-gathering to Mortimer, a lively but from continent papers, which all find at Galignant's or in three- ture, by what gift of second sight does he learn the domestic relations of the Hapsburg family, or pick up the unpublished sayings of King Frederick William or Victor Emanuel? In close application, correctness and completeness, Huntingdon is the best correspondent in Europe. He is a dry, secretive, unsocial man, a sleeper over metaphysical treatises — a disciple of all new ideas. His judgment in international affairs is not better than other people's. He gives his opinion. He is too indolent to do anything beyond his regular Friday letter, otherwise he might have been a translator or a small author. He has been fifteen years in Paris, has plain lodg
expressing a wish for the preservation of the Union. The text of the convention recently concluded by the French and Italian Governments has been published along with a subsequent protocol. This protocol provides that the period of six months, within which the Italian capital is to be transferred from Turin to Florence, and also the term of two years, within which the French troops are to be withdrawn from Rome, are be reckoned from the date of the royal assent to the bill which King Victor Emanuel's Ministers will submit to the Italian Parliament. In the Peace Conference of Vienna, on October 5, the Danish Representatives made some concessions of the German demands, but persisted in rejecting the claim of Schleswig-Holstein to a portion of the indemnity for the Sound dues. They made."a fresh proposition for the settlement of the question," but it does not seem that any progress was made in the negotiations. The Prince and Princess of Wales, who have been entertained
e high spirit of France could not endure it. Napoleon would lose his crown did he attempt it — and that he knows but too well. Our own opinion is, that he will maintain the position he has assumed — that our own Government will maintain their's — and that war will follow, and that speedily. It is possible that England may be involved with France, and on the same side. It is certain that Austria will support France, and it is more than probable that she will receive the aid also of Victor Emanuel and the King of Belgium. This is a powerful combination — such as no country in Europe — except Russia — could withstand. But the peculiar situation of the belligerent parties with respect to the country in which the war is to be waged deprives it of half its terrors. If Mexico were situated with regard to France geographically as Spain is situated, it would be impossible for any foreign Power to hold its own against the force that she could send there; but she is situated with r
