"Battalions and considerable convoys have entered the town , and other bodies of troops have been seen to leave the north side . The garrison has been constantly engaged in adding to the works , and particularly in connecting the rifle pits in the immediate front of our right attack ; and , as , we have pushed forward , the fire upon our advance has occasioned more loss , I deeply regret to say , than we have sustained since the sortie of the 23 rd of March .

The Imperial Visit To The Crystal Palace...
THE IMPERIAL VISIT TO THE CRYSTAL PALACE . The Emperor and Empress of the French , accompanied "by her Majesty and Prince Albert , visited the Crystal Palace yesterday . They reached the Palace about balf-past twelve , and were received by the Directors . The holders of tickets for the day , and of season tickets , were excluded from the palacb while theHbyal andlmperial party visited the building from end to end , A procession was formed , headed by the Empress of tho French with Prince Albert , the Queen with the Emperor , the French Ambassador , and the Countess Waloweka , and the Royal and Imperial suites , followed by the chief officers of tho Crystal Palace . As each court was visited tho Chief of .
that department . was called forward and presented to tho Emperor and Empress , by the Queen . The . attention of the Empress was naturally attracted by the Alhambra Court , so exquisitely reproduced'by Mr . Owen Jones , and she expressed hor pleasure with unaffected vivacity . A sort of allegorical construction in the transept had been erected in honour of the event , but it did not contribute very successfully to the docorations of tho Palace , which was novor seen to more advantage . The park -was
thronged by " guinea-ticket" visitors , who cheered vociferously when tho imperial and royal party of four appeared on the balcony which had been specially ereoted by Sir Charles Fox to contain that sacred number . Tho Emperor and Empress , with tho Queen and Prince Albert , left tho Palace on their return to town soon- after three o ' clock , when the public were admitted , Tho Emperor , nnd Prince , Albert , were dressed en bourgeois * TJ » e Queen looked remarkably ¦ well ; and the Empreaft Eugenic , exquisitely doefljedV vnon < alkl |« aKia by Uer . groceB and her smiles .

There is nothing so revolutionary-, because thereas nothing so unnatural and convulsive , as the strain to keep things fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —Db . Arnold
The Reception. The Emperor Op The French...
THE RECEPTION . The Emperor op the French came to a country which the Times placards as the home of immoral ambition to receive the worship due to his success . That worship has been enthusiastically paid . Court , aristocracy , statesmen , municipalities , literature , journalism , mobs have been alike at his feet . His progress was one vast acclamation as . he moved towards the temple of English aristocracy at Windsor to receive the order which was worn by WEr . iirNGTOtf . He received it at the same moment that CANTH-iiON received his hire . In the midst of that splendid triumph" ^" v ^ r '' mbrali ^~ anii ~ Ken ' o ' iir '"" n e ""' may well have said in his heart " There is no
God . " To the reception at "Windsor nothing was wanting but the blood of English peasants , which our aristocracy shed like water , and the millions which they wrung from the toil of peasant hands to put down Bonapartism in the person of Napoleon I ., and to restore legitimacy in the person of Louis XVIII . If the aristocrats and clergy of England would be JSTapoleonist with a clear honour and a good conscience , they must first make restitution . Then , they may offer incense with clear hands at the altar of lawless ambition .
But we must bo just to the mass of our people . They see in Louis Napoleon only the . representative of France and of the French alliance To them , who read and reflect but little , the coup d ' etat is long past , and Cayenne far distant . From Franco thoy hear no murmur of discontent . Thoy see in the Emperor the only French rulor who has had the sense , and perhaps the magnanimity ,
firmly to grasp the hand of England , so long held out , so often waywardly and jealously repulsed . Let French constitutional statesmen who havo traded in Anglophobia mark tho losson , and moraliso on the past . Lot all Frenchmen , mark that while a part of this homage is x'endered by Tories to lawloss despotism , or by courtiers to power , by far the creator part is rendered by the English people to tho name and , friendship , of . ^ Franco . Let reason prolong > that connexion , so
proare revolting to a nation not always true to reason , but always true to lqw and duty . And when , breaking through , the silence which it might easily have preserved as an independent journal , leaving behind even the language of official compliment , it lays at the feet of a great criminal ; a sophistical , justification , for his crimesj written- by the hand which once furiously denounced them , there is no English heart , however Bonapartist ,. which does not , answer with disgust . Louis Napoleon has reason to scorn all mankind ; but even he may feel especial scorn for the adulation of the Times .

Whax Of Austria? To All Appearances * Th...
WHAX OF AUSTRIA ? To all appearances * the Cabinet of Vienna hesitates to fulfil the responsibilities of the "Western alliance against Russia . In fact Austria can scarcely be said to have concurred in the object for which the diplomatists of Grreat Britain and France contended at
Vienna . While , therefore , the attitude of so great a power remains a matter of uncertainty , it is impossible to measure the future developments of the war * or to indicate in what direction it may next be carried . In the serious discussion of politics , however , proper weight must be allowed to the reasons which have induced our statesmen to make sacrificea
in order to secure this alliance . Austrian a first-rate power , occupying a geographical position of the highest importance , and maintaining an army of five hundred thousand men . Such an empire will have its influence in peace or war ; it can neither be ignored nor "despised . - Consequently , the Allied Governments have ,, to some extent , been guided in their general policy by the necessities of their connexion with Austria , and
they have thus , indubitably , lost time , opportunity , and reputation . But whatever course the ministers of Francis Joseph adopt , the result must seriously affect the issue of the contest now in suspense . It has been agreed by statesmen to make this a political war , and not a conflict of principles . Representing the political system of Europe , they could not determine otherwise . Therefore their policy was to harmonise the action of the several p owers , so
as to prevent new elements from coming upon the sceno . Could Austria he secured tho plan might be successful ; even her noutrality , if possible , would dimmish tho perils of contingent , revolution ; and it was perfectly fair for statesmon , avowing their hostility to such a change in tho spirit of tho war , to oxhaust precautions against it . But , on tho other hand , tho position ot bo admitted
Austria ia difficult . It must that hor Governmont has a right to regard tho importunities of Franco and England , as well as those of Russia , from a selfish point Of vieW , __ and " selfish" in such a case means " patriotic . " While , thoroforo , tho French and English Governments havo an important stake in the war , Austria could not entor upon it without hazarding her very oxi « tenoe < Wo , as a nation , know pretty well tho extent of . our risk . She , on , the contrary , would , sat incalculable , forces in motion , and commit uort
