It was apparently selected as an occasion for the French Government, through De Freycinet, to give utterance to its views upon the peace prospects of Europe. De Freycinet, during the course of his speech, mads special reference to the pacific tendencies of France, The leading idea of the manoeuvres, he said, was to throw light on, and give exercise in the duties of the Commander-in-Chief.
"Nobody," De Freycinent said, "now doubts we are strong, or that we shall prove to be wise, We know how to maintain that calmness and dignity in the days of misfortune, which bare paved the way to recuperation." [Loud applause.

The Taormina saok so00 after the accident, drowning her captain, several of her crew and many cabin passengers. The second officer of the Taormina and a number of passengers standing on the bridge at the time the collision occurred were saved by the boats of the Thessalia.
The damage done to the Taormina by the collision was so great that she sank a few minutes after being struck by the Greek steam ship. Most of the Thessalia's passengers were in their berths at the time the vessels collided, and the latest estimate is that 100 persons were drowned. The Taormina was badly damaged forward, but by keeping the pumps going succeeded in reaching Phaleron.

At Kagul three regiments arrived about a month ago, and at Jalpuch re- enforcements of 7,000 men have recently taken up their quarters, Troops are pouring in at the same rate into other villages. These places are of little consequence apart from the situation where an army of invasion would naturally concentrate,
In view of these facts the correspondent concludes that Russia intends at no distant day to make across the Danube for Constantinople, and that her preparations should show that this time she means to have a force sufficient to overcome all obstacles.
The Chilianer ship Presidente-Pinte, which has caused uneasiness to several of the powerS by hat attempts to procure arms, is lying at Hamburg with the crew mutinous.

SIAMESE AFFAIRS,
It might, and with some semblance of reason, have been contended that the now fameus "Michell Interview" was unreliable owing to the fact that it was a report of the utterances of discontented official, who had resigned his office. But in view of the fact that a paper Siam Mercantile Gazette of the 26th September, has published a leading article which that Mr. Michell said "to endorses all our correspondent, and in addition there to has reproduced with approval our special correspondence in extenso, we submit that falsity is stamped upon the face of allegations made by those who seek to throw dust la the
is as impotent as it is unstable and corrupt.
Our Bangkok contemporary's remarks on the question at issue, which appear clessly thought- out, honest, and thoroughly dispassionate, run a follows:
The valuable and significant expression of opinion on Siamese affairs hich the enterprislag correspondent of the Hongkong Telteraph bas been enabled to obtain from Mr. E, I. Michell, lalelegaladviser to the Stamese Government, must have fallen like bomb shell among the advisers of His Majesty, disturbing their self satisfied com- placency, and scattering confusion and dismay on allsides. Mr. Michell's expression of oplaton valuable as being the result of six years' experis ence behind the scenes of Siamese political lifes and is as noted for Its calm tone of good sense, and quiet moderation, as for the additional proof it affords of the great cause of the present unsatisfactory condition of Slam. Mr. Micbell has spent six years of intimate association with the ministers of the King of Slam, and is thoroughly au fait with Siamese affairs, and Siamese methods of administration; and at the end of that time bis mature judgment, like the ghost of the murdered Banque at the banquet of Macbeth, rises in anger and shakes its experi- enced locks at the gross Incapacity of Siamese Ministers, and the glaring defects in Siamese methods of administration.
The Indictment of the King's Ministers by their ex-legal adviser is a crushing reply to the scycophantic crew, who are busily engaged in throwing dust in the eyes of the Siamese blinding them to the true interests of Siam, and placing native legislators in a fool's paradise-by a subservient pandering to their foibles.. Mr. Michell's experience of the Siamese is a damning proof of the incompetency of native Mlalsters to pilot "Siam through the rocks and shoals that beset the passage to progress and reform. But without dwelling on many of the Important issues raised in his article we will at once deal with the crur of Siîm's difficulties-the incapacity of her Ministers.
Mr. Michell does but poor justice to the King of Siam when he affirms that he is intelligent and well-intentioned, and that if he were able to carry out his own wishes the position of Slam would soon be an enviableone among the nations. of the Far East. His Majesty is all this, and much more; but, continues Mr. Michell, he has to consult with his ministers, many of whom are unable or unwilling to carry out the wishes of their Sovereign. Here is the kemel of the whole matter. No matter how intelligent, honest, and well-intentioned the King may be, no matter how much alive be may be to the pressing need for reforms, or how eager he may be to carry them through unless he is ably seconded by the officials to whom he entrusts the execu tion of bis orders, all his good will is practically useless.
*A large and powerful class has grown up in Siam who, whatever hates and dislikes they may have among themselves, unite in solid phalanx against any infringement of their ancient rights and privileges. They combine to stand firmly together to maintala their system with all its abuses against theft. arch-enemy re form; and the sovereign may change his ministers as often as he lies and still he is con- fronted with the same difficulty.

When the Englishman finds himself on fami- liar terms in German society, his ideas respect- Ing Teutbale politeness undergo a change, or rather he discovers that fine manners do not invariably prove the possession of good breeding. For example, at a party where English strangers are present it is the commonest thing for the guests to discuss English politics, habits, and customs with a candour only equalled by their ignorance of the subject. A German gentleman ill cheerfully inform bla English neighbour that there is no music to England except "Katzenmusik or that the English army was defeated in every battle in Egypt; or else that the English are, taken as a whole, a brutal and arrogant race, If any oue resents these flowery compliments, the most unfeigned-surprise is evinced by the rest of the company. It is so kind, so charliable of them, they consider, to tell the ignorant foreigner his little faults and failings. The only way an Englishman to hold his own in such society Arnhold, Karberg & Co. is to turn the conversation upon the subject of India and the English colonies, with anoccasional allusion to the superiority of our navy. This has the instant effect of reducing the German, if not to llence, at least to a more subdued and respectful frame of mind.
