The Emperor Napoleon received the Prussian Ambassador to-day at an audience at the Tuilerles. Tbe minister delivered to Ma Majesty the reply of the King of Prussia to the French note demanding an extension of the lrontier of the empire to the Rhine. The state paper declares that the demand Is inadmissible, and that Prussia will not accede to it. Napoleon replied that he had made the demand in ordpr to satisfv nnhlic onlnion in France on the subiect of the rectification of the frontier. He deemed it a just demand, but at 'the same time acknowledged the fairness of the argument used by the Prussian Cabinet in the reply of refusal.

Be said that the relations existing at present between France and Prussia should not be disturbed in any case, and hoped Prussia would not overstep the line. The Paris Bourse remained closed to-day, it being the Emperor's fete day. Official Announcement of tbe Imperial Frontier ltcceaaioii. Paris, August 1G Noon. It is officially stated to-day that the French Government has receded from its demand made upon Prussia for an extension of frontier to the Rhine.

France does this in the interest of peace. which she desires far more than political ag grandizement. The hope ia also expressed by the official journal, the Moniteur, that Prussia will not ex- tend her projects of annexation to the German States south of the Main. RUSSIA. St.

Last evening Lord Derby, as First Lord of the Treasury, and the rest of her Majesty's Ministers, dioed with the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress. The invited guests were about two hundred in number, and included not only tbe Cabinet Miu inters, out all the rest of the more conspicuous members of the conservative party in both houses ot Parliament. There were present, besides the Earl aud Countess of Derby, the Lord Chrnccllor and LRdy Chelmsford, the Chancellor ot the Exchequer and Mrs.

Earl Derby replied. In the course of Mb speech he sail: We have been called upon to undertake a duty for which we were wholly unprepared, and, moreover, at a time when the general couise of prosperity of this great country is subjected to no inconsiderable drawbacks.

Ai this moment we have pressing upon us a heavy monetary difficulty which weighs down the commercial We have had, and still have to a certain extent, though now in a somewhat mit. gated form, a pestilence among our herds ntid (tucks wbieh has weighed heavily upon many of our agricultural districts, and which ha9 produced an injurious effect upon the consumers of meat in the increased prices of which it has been tbe necessary consequence. We have also, I grieve to say, unmistakable signs that most dangerous disease, the Asiatic cholera, which, after lingering a considerable timeabioad, and when we had hoped it would abstain trom approaching our shores, has suddenly invaded us, and is calling for the most vigilant ana cm etui precautions. I do not wish to draw a diirk picture of th position of this country. As against wLat 1 have said upon the monetary firetsure.

I believe that our commerce itself rapidly and widely, and, what is of more consequence, safely also (hear, hear), tl.at it ib nnainu vanea una multiplying channels lor its development.

Again, i oeneve there never was a time when labor reaped a more ample reward, aud when the working classes, witu some exceptions no dotitn, obtained, a laiecr and fairer remuneration in return for their toil do al present (Hear. bear.) We may also l)ok forward, under thei messing ot rrovldence, to an early ana abundaut haiveet. (Hear.) And, chief blessing of all, we have by Goq's providence been exempted fiom that great scourge of nations, the war which tor the last two months nas been deso lating the fairest portion ot Eurooe.

(Hear. near.) vwtu regard to mat, war win say nothing more than this: While we look with deep anxiety upon tbe changes which it may bring about' in the state of Europe. I believe that the course which the Government have pursued will be generally approved by tho country. We have abstained Irom taking an active part in favor ot or against auy of the belligerents. If we saw the slightest orosneet of procuring by our mediation aud uood otlices the inestimable blesslnes of pcac, wo might be tempted to intervene if asked to do so.

But we have not thought that it was our duty to obtrude our advice, our counsel, or our pood office, and to interfere with matters which, although in their ultimate results they may touch remotely tho interests of this coun try, do rot at tho present moment appear either to affect, cur honor or our interests, hear.) It is with tbe greatest satisfaction we bear that preliminaries have been already agreed upon between the belligerents, which niay liHve the effect of restoring to Europa tbe peace of which it stands so much iu need and 110 country in turope. no country in the world. will so much rejoice in the restoration of peace us England, the primary object of whose Miuis tors, to whatever party they belong, must ba the maintenance of the tiauquillity which is psson- ual lo the development ot the extended traio ot this commercial empire.

Every reason ot interest and attach' ment leads us to desire that between ourselves and America there should be a most intimate and permanent union. Now, I received to day, at hall-past 1 o'clock, a telegram dated from New York this morning, informing me, among other things, ot tbe arrival of a British vessel at York yesterday evening. I ask those whoare connected with tbe com merce ot this country and with its great trading interests, whether, looking forward, they can imagine or conceive the effect which may be accomplished by this great undertaking when London and New York are thus brought not within week or days or even hour, but almost within minutes ot eacn otnerr is there any limit to the consequences which mnv be anticipated from so close a union of tw such countries? (Hear, hear.) It is impossible that on such an occasion as this I should not bear my testimony and I am sure the same will be borne by all present to the energy, the perseverance, the indomitable spirit hown amid the greatest difficulties aod discouragements by (hose who have for a second time brought this enterprise to a satisfactory conclusion.

At the first attempt Mr. McOeorge succeeded in des patching them on very even terms, but after going a lew strides Tourmalin showed in front; before reachlug the stand, however, she was pulled back, and Watchman took up the running at a miserable pace, followed by Tourmalin and the Duke; Moulsey, on the left, being slightly the lear of the Marquis of Hastings' horse. With the exception ot Archimedes dropping farther in the rear as they ascended the hill round the clump, little variation occurred until within a nvle of borne, where Lord Stamford's horse swerved completely round, ana could not be induced to go further. Watchman was here passed by Tourmaliu, who, in a few strides further, also gave way to the Duke and Moulsey.

As they came into the straight Tourmalin had a clear lead, but the Duke gradually cljsed with her as they approached the distance, and, answering gamely to Fordhnm's call, he assumed the lead one hundred yards from home, and won cleverly by a length.

B's, Armed and Equipped, to Rendezvous at Grand Inland They are to be led by the Itebel General Dick Taylor The Scare In Canada Revived, Etc. Ottawa, August 16. The Government are making active preparations to repel an expected eman invasion. A great Fenian picnic is to take place in a few pays on Grand Island, in the Niagara rivr. Ic has been ascctained that fifteen thousand light ing men will rendezvous at the island on (he occasion iu question, that they are well provided with arms and ammunition, that they are now and have for some time been assembling at Buffalo and other points in that vicinity, and that their intention is to make a descent with their hole force upon the Canadian territory.

General Dick Taylor is reported to bo the leader who will command the expedition. Besides this, strange characters in large numbers have been noticed in the streets ot Toronto and other border town recently, as they were before the June ruid, ana the comparative silence and secrecy maintained by the Fenians, both in Canada ana the united states, is looked upon as ominous and indicating earnestness and a real desire for attempting serious mischief. On tbe other hand the Government have moved the eunboats which recently arrived from England up to the vicinity ot the anti cipated 6cene ot hostuuie3. me volunteers are being called out, ostensibly lor arm exercises, and some of them are already moving from Toronto (westward. A camp of from 2000 to 5000 men is to be established opposite Grand Island.

The regulars wbo were stationed there up to yesterday have, with the exception of one company, been moved towards the frontier, and points where they win be more reaauy availa ble to act against invasion, mere is a great activity among tbe military generally. Despatches to officials, military and civic, are momentarily arriving from all points, and ate being sent to all others of importance in Canada, often at the most unseasonable hours of the In fact, all night between Sunday aud Monday last, the telegraph office was busy in Ottawa, receiving ana transmuting secret messages to and from the Government, whose entire etlorts seem to be directed, to crushing out tbe Fenian movement as soon as It develops itself, witn all tbe forces at their command. It is expected that the Fenians may b3 able to laud In force, and that while the military confront thein on the land the gunboats will be able to cut off their retreat across the river, hen they are to be overpowered and defeated. Meantime great secrecy observed on all handf. and it is almost impossible to obtain any intelligence concerning movements ou the other side, and while every one feels conttdeut in the power' of the Government to deal with tho Fenians in a terrible and eummarv manner, thre is evidently an under-current of utieasi i)hs.

and a great de-ire to nrv into the nivst? rious future. There is, however, very little popular alarm and no panic. Fcuiun emissaries are believed to bo prowling through all parts of Cunada. but most of them ure known to the Government or its agent-i. In shoit, the condition of Caiiuda at present is very unsectiea ana tevenn.

Nev.puir Account. The Canadian papers announce tout th Gov ernment nas received such tni'ormaf-ion as to wariant it iu taking active military precautions at once. In view of the proiected Fenian "picnic" at Buffalo ou the 21st instant, it, considered advisable to put the couutrv in a state or mill. tary preparation.

It is si id President Johnf on is in favor of the above order. Her Majesty Oueeti Kmma has spent the whole of to-day in visiting the tomb of Washing ton at Mount Vfrnou. Secretary McCulioch placed at her disposal the light and elegant revenue cutter Northerns, which relumed yesterday irom a trip to Portland, where she hud been to convey Secretary MeCulloch and family. ihe party, consisting oi the yucen Dowager, spurgeon, Jlr.

Chilton, ot tho State Department, Consul General Odcll, and Mr. Hopkins, Chamberlain, lelt Willard's Hotel at eleven o'clock, and drove direct to the Navy iara, where tno jvonneriier was stationed. Through some misunderstanding the order for the trip did not reach Captain Mc-Gowau until nearly ten o'clock: this morning, and consequently when the party reached the Navy Yard the cutter had not sutlicient steam to start at once. There was also a blunder in tne time at which her Maiesty was expected to arrive, so that the Admiral commanding was not on hand to welcome her; but this was fortunately remedied by the politenesj of that old ana tried sailor, captain AicUwan, ot the i.Vorti-irner, who received her Majesty and suite, escorted them on board tbe cutter, and apologized for tbe tempoiary absence of tbe Kcar Admiral.

The news of the arrival of the Queen soon spiead, when Rear Admiral Radford, together with Commodore Smith. Captain Brown. Cap tain Batch and other olticers of the navy, arrived ana were inrrouueea to tne yueen, simultaneously with which a salute of twenty-one guns was bred in honor ot her arrival. A short time was spent in interchange ot friendly sentiment. some of the officers present having visited the Sandwich Islands and met the Queen at her palace.

When the Admiral invited her Majesty to inspect the Navy i'ard she was first shown the large ntteen-mch. gnus and a number of pieces captured Irom the enemy at different times and places, many of them broken and shattered by shell and explosion, but all ot historic Interest, and was then conducted to the ordnance room, shrapnel room, laboratory. room for the manufacture of percussion caps, and, in tact, shown everything ot interest connected with the Navy Yard. In everv depart ment of which she seemed to be much interested. The Queen seemed particularly interested in the process ot making percussion raps.

The machine was put in operation, and a rod of copper given her. After explaining the process of manufacture she went to work and mado over a nundred caps, which sne desired to take with her. Another room was subsequently visited, where the explosive substance ot tne caps was supplied, and the caps made ready for use. Sboitly after twelve o'clock the Queen and party returned to the cutter, which was (ben in readiness to start, when the Hawaiian flag was hoisted in honor of her Majesty, and the vessel loosened from her moorings ana headed for Mount Vernon. The party on buard.

or sides ner luaiesty ana suite ana tne omcer ot the cutter, consisted of Rear Admiral Radford and two daughters. Captain Balcb, Captain Brown, aud Commodore Smith. The Queen and suite occupied seats upon the upper deck, beneath tbe awning, where tnev had a nne. view of either bank of the Potomac, and seemed greatly interested in all they saw. Queen tnmia assea many questions as to the positions occupied bv the contending parties in the late war, and shewed an intimate know ledge ot tbe history ot the Uebellion.

The low stage of water prevented the cutter landing at the wharf upon her arrival at Mount Vernon, and all bands were compelled to go on shore in small boats. Previous to landing, however, an eleeant cold collation, consisting of roast chicken, game, fruit, wine, and other delicacies, were served in tne cabin ot tne jsortnern furnished by Messrs. Hykes Chadwick, of willard's Hotel, ana served under their superintendence. Upon landing the first place visited was the tomb of Wasbington, where due respect was patd to the memory of tbe Father of his country, after which they repaired to the mansion, where thev were kindly welcomed by Mr. U.

It. Herbert, who for several years hai had charge of the grounds, and who took particular pains to show and explain everything of interest. Every, room of the house was explored, all the relics of Washington examined, and everything connected with Mount Vernon fully explained to ber Maiesty during the two hours passed within and around its sacred precincts. Nothing connected with tho visit of Queen Emma to Wash-ineton has seemed to afford ber so much genuine pleasure as the trip to day. The fine weatber, cool breeze, and splendid view, to-cether with the freedom from restraint seemed to make her feel more at home, and she entered fully Into the spirit of the occasion.

She herself highly pleased with Washington, iUpubiicbiiiHings.anathe reception she has met with while here, but greatly disappoidtad in the city itself as fulling far short iu sue, beauty of its private residences, and general appearance from hat she supposed the capital of so great a nation would possess. She expected to hud the same magnificent palaces which sho saw in Filth aveutip, New York, but instead has seen only common two-story brick tenements. The party arrived at the Navy Yard at 6 o'clock this evening, when the Queen made ashortjcall at the residence ot Rear-Adnriral Radford, with' who.je 'daughters she bad become well acquainted, and then returned to Willard's to dinner. A numlier ol the representatives ot the several tribes' of American Indians now in the city, having expressed a desire to call on the Queen, claiming her as ot the Indian race, their request was laid before her Majesty by the Acting Com-mlosioncr of Indian Affairs, Mr. Charles E.

Mix, when she expressed ber delight at tbe opportunity of seeing these- representatives ot the aboriginal races ol this continent. She bad contemplated a iourney across the plains, ex pressly to see the native Americans, but by this unexpected opportunity a long and fatiguing Journey would be avoided, and her wish be gratified. It was arranged that the Indians sbonld bo presented to her this evening at half past 8 o'ciock. At the appointed hour, accompanied by Miss Spiirgeon. Mr.

Chilton, and Mr. Hopkins, the Queen appeared in one of the large parlors Of Willard's when the Acting Commissioner was presented to her. The representatives ot the various tribes were then ushered in and presented by the Acting Commissioner. Those presented consisted of five Choctaws, beaded by Governor Peter P. Pitehlynn; five Chickaaws, under Governor Winchester Colbert thn'o Southern Cherokees and nine wild savage Pawnees, including two squaws and one pappoose.

The Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Cberokees were Hilly civilized, many of them being gcuilemen of wealru and standing, aDd all educated. One fudge, a doctor, and a clergyman were of the number. Tho Pawnees were of the wild, savage claas, accidentally in the city, and appeared in all the grandeur ot their native garb, with feathers, war p'Unt, wcpons, mocca'ins, etc. The Queen letned to be ote than usually inUrcstcd in tbe Interview. At first her attention was fastened upon the savngc Pawnees.

She examined their weapons, dress, andornnicnts, questioned them as to their manners and manifested apecu Par sympathy lor the squaws, and repeatedly chucked the pappooso under the chin. Tiring of these they were dinmissed. when she entered into a lively conversation with the educated rep ret entatnes of the other tribes got some genera Ideas ot their respective histories, present con-d'tion, and finally drew out a speech in his native dialect from Governor Pitchlvnn, which wa translated by the Choctaw preacher who was with him, and wbich amused and pleased bim greaily. litchlynn, Colbert, aud others, had children witn them, towards whom the affection of the Queen seemed to go forth in a iGinarkable degree. She insisted on shaking them all by the hand, and kissing such of them as were not disposed to avoid the consideration.

The interview lasted about an hour, and was one of tbe most interesting that has occurreJ during her Majesty's stay here. No programme has yet been arranged for to-n orrow. The Queen has accepted Secretary Seward'a invitation to become his guest, anil will repair to his mansion to-morrow, where sho will remain until Monday, when she leaves for Niacara Falls.
