FOREIGN NEWS: The Ex-Empress of France.

Her Predictions of the Future.

New York, July 7.—Letters from Geneva to the World gives a conversation with the late Empress of France. She says her visit to France is for political purposes and it is useless to try to conceal it. She believes there will soon be a general return of the people to order, and said the Piedmontese government at Rome, the anti-Christian and Pagan Court at Berlin, and the wild Communists and Madrid, are filled with fear at the awakening of Catholic France. Now that the wretched Thiers is gone, all moves well. MacMahon is prudent and loves France. The future, said Eugene, is ours, and France will lead the reaction against the forces which have seemed to threaten the existence of society and religion throughout Europe. She saw in the future that France will again be at the head of nations, the robbers driven out of Rome, the Pope restored, Germany divided into harmless States, and Austria again strong.
