THE WAR IN EUROPE.
NAPOLEON DISPOSED FOR PEICE, BUT OVERRULED BY HIS MINISTERS.
On the receipt by the Emperor of the despatch announcing the withdrawal of the Hohenzoilern, he signified his opinion that they should accept this step, although he would have preferred another solution. But that this resolution should not be communicated to the cham ers until the Ministers had debated the question in council. For that reason the Corps Legislatif was adjourned. The next day the war party in the Ministry brought all imaginable machines to bear on the Emperor. Diplomacy on the other side did not stand with arms folded. Lord Lyons had an interview with the Emperor and represented to him that after the communication of the 6th of July the withdrawal of the Hohenzoilern should put an end to the compli- ' cation, and that the powers friendly to France had interceded with the Cabinet of Berlin and the King of Prussia precisely with the object of bringing out this satisfaction he had just received. The Emperor replied that he intended to accept the withdrawal, and had so expressed himself to other chiefs of legation. The military party, the Ministers of War and Marine, the marshal?, and the leaders of the majority are furiou*, and the resignation of the whole cabinet is talked of. I don't implicitly believe all these allegations, but I am certain that Marshal de Bceuf and Admiral I Rigault do Genoully have tendered their ( resignation. — Independence Belcje.
