The letters of iii- vitation Wcre sent by the Sultan, Abdul Mcdjid, Commander of the faithful. Nearly all the Sovereigns of great power replied by autograph lcttcrs, without Consulting tlicir mi- nisters, and quittcd their capitals in the most sccrct manner. There were present :â€"â€"I--Iis Majesty the Emperor of tho Fl‘CllCll.\Vlt() appears to be appointed to prcsidc over all the general assemblies of Europe; H. M. Queen Victoria, our gracious ally so long as England fcars or has need of us; II. M. the Emperor of Rus- sia; H. M. the Emperor ofAustria ; His Highness the Printer: Regent of Prussia ; H. M. the King of Sardi- nia; H. M. the King of Naples; His Holiness Pope Pius IX., King of some Italian provn‘iccs; II. M. the Sultan. Abdul~Medjid. N0 stenographer, no secretary as- sisted in these deliberations. The tokens which we are fortunate enough to give to the public, were furnished for us by a writer of the hotel, a deaf mate of good birth. who prepared the glasses of sugared Water. His Majesty the Sultan, after hav- ing yaWnud three times, delivered a" ' speech firm and gentle. He declar- ed “that the state of his finances did not permit him any longer to pay his army ; that his soldiers, having nei- ther bread, nor shoes, were borh un- able and unwilling to defend him from his enemies ‘ at home and abroad; that the Greeks, who are very numerous in the Ottoman Em- pire and in a majority in several pro- vinces, were revolting on all sides; that the greater part of the races conquered by Mahomet II. and his successors.rcclaimed imperiously the right ofgoverniug themselves ; that a powerful enemy, repulsed with great difficulty, some years back, by the forccsot' France, England and Piedmont, was prcpat‘ingto re-com- thence the war, and was pushing lines of railroad iii the direction of Turkey; that in the presence of these embarrassments and dangers,it was necessary to recognise with submission an irresistablcfatality.â€" In consequence, the Commander of the faithful,the spiritual and temporal chiefof so many millions of inen,liad resolved to abdicatc the temporal. and retire into the holy city of Mecca, with a hundred females and as many servant's, impeace the religious leaving the rest to the disposition of Europe."

But the young Emperor of Austria sprung out of his easy chair with a vivacity very natural to his age. “I ac- cept,” said he, the inheritance of the holy father in Italy. I accept also the succession of“ the Sultan.” He saw that the Emperor Napoleon III. was smiling cunningly, curling his moustache. and he added in a more prudent manner: “If nevertheless Europe wishes to find fault with it, I will accept nothing of the whole, for my affairs are in such a state, thatl would not be able longer to impose my will by force. “My dear child,” Said Her Gracious Majesty, the Queen of England to him. suffer me as the mother of a family to give you some wise counsel. My people wish you ncithcr good nor evil, and have proved this by ab- staining both from attacking and de- fending you. England has left you alone in your affairs with the French and the Italians; it was an act of good policy. At this price we have remained the allies of France, the protectors of Italian liberty,and yourl friends, without costing us a single man, or a shilling. The good advice which I offer you will expose neither my budget, nor my neutrality.

Neverthe- less, since they were assembled in a spirt of justice and moderation, and as over} body had lcft their arms in the robing room, they agreed in al- lowing, that all the sovereigns ofl Russia, since l’etcr the Great, had, served in a sufficiently useful man- ner the cause of progress. They had created and propagated about! them, by means of conquest, an or- dcr of things intermediate between bai'barism and civilization it was to serve humanity that they trained" the savages of the Caucasus and of the river Amour in the current of, European life.

It would be injust not to be grateful to ' her. His Majesty the Emperor Alexander cxplaincd, with an elo-. quent simplicity, the history of Rus- sia’s conquests. He had no diffi- culty in proving that the colossus of the North, did not march upon Europe, butfor Europe; that the object of his ambition, although often calumniated, was the conquest of the barbarous East; that he opened up to our inventions and pro- Turkcy in Europe, alleging that the Greek nation, which composes the majority in these countries, ought to dispose freely ‘of themselves, and choose their 0Wn sovereigns. "The Greeks,” said be, “are at least as enlightened, and civiliZed as the Rus- sians.”_ It is not right tojudge the nation by that abortion of a king- dom, which Europe designed since 1839. Organize a great State,wbich shall have its capital at Constanti- nople ; place there an Emperor, chosen by the nation, from no mat- ter what house of Europe, except mine, and you Will sec twenty-five millions of citizens, marching like a singic man in the road of progress.” His Majesty the King of Naples raised his voice to demand if the ora- tor was Sincere. This young prince, educated at the School of Divine people. I “ Sincere?” replied the Emperor Alexander, with a generous air, “come and see to whatdegree Iain sincere.” For as many as four years the alarmists have been representing that Russia was about to descend on Europe, as they made you believe in 1848, that the suburbs were going to make a descent on Paris. Well, I am willing to make war uptin the good people ofSuch pucrilc terror.â€" I demand that Europe raise an inâ€" slll‘mOtll’lltlblC barrier between her- self and us. Let, us‘raisc from the dead with one accord that fine na- tion, Polandâ€"that cliivalrous people, among whom diplomacy and war have made- all sacrificesâ€"without ahating their courage. Let Poland rise from its ashes! let her be great! let her be brave! Let her touch the Baltic on the north, the Black Sea on the south, and let the trcmblcrs oftlie west cease, perhaps to fear us when ,thcy shall be protected against a a rampart of slaves. _ . Unanimous applause greeted this proposition. They shook bands, they embraced one another, they wept tears of tenderness at the sole idca ofsecing the great polish nation regenerated. . All at once His Royal Highness, the Prince-Regent of Prussta, de- manded with a certain iiiquietudc "if they required him to 'giVe up the Grand Duchy of Posen ?” They replied-to him only by a si- lci'icc which had; no need of comment. 5' In truth, your Majestics,” concatenation! Because the Sultan Cessziry that Turkey in Asia fall into the hands of the Russians, because the ‘liissians advance tlicms‘OIVes in ducc unknown roads, and that they ought to consider him as the quarter- master of civilization. The congress,animated by a grand love of probity, was struck by his eloquence. He fell short, by very little, ofanncxii‘ig by one stroke, the Turkish Empire to Russia. But Hcr Majostthc Queen of England, observed "that her nation was also a powerful vchiclo of our inventions and industry ; that the English, by birth citizens of the world,trai’isport- ed to the end of the world, un- thoughtâ€"of civilization, with tartans, printed calico. glazed earthenware, four-bladed knives, and all instru- ments of progress,” which seemed incontcstible.

This little world was believcd'to be ruled law? fully, and by the gracc‘of God. But some good menarciiial revolutions or other, have cleansed the earth of this feudal power. Dukes, Mar~ quises, Counts, cried out for rob- bery or despotism; but in time their throats got fatigued, and they slew themselves. PeOple have seen that they are able to live decently with neither a duchy, nor an car‘ldommor a marquisate ; and that a crown, a little ridiculous On their head, pro- duced a very good effect on the panel oftheir carriage. Trust that your little neighbors ofNorth Ger- many will adopt the same philoso- phy, alter haVing undergone similar reverses. Besides with the titles that still remain to them, they will be enabled to make good marriages.” “ Andbesides,” added the Prince of Prussia, on whom the Conviction was gaining little by little, “it is time to proclaim in Germany the principle of a national sovereignty. A nation belongs only to itself; then it has the right of giving a'Way itself. I call heaven to witness that I belong to the whole of North Ger- manyl lswcai‘ to obey faithfully the majority of my Subjects, and I thank Europe, who has given me this opportunity of serving mankind. Ambition isinot the ghide of my conduct; and I do not wish that the King of the two Sicilies should mis- understand me for a single instant. No person will doubt the purity of my intentions when I shall have given up to the Emperor Napoleon lll., my French provinces situate on the left bank of the Rhine.” The Emperor of the French re- fused politely the present, which he wished to make him.” ‘tItis true,” said he, that geography has given us the Rhine fur a frontier ; but diplomacy has, decided otherwise.
