The King of Wurtemburg still stands aloof, bat it is considered certain that a Monarch wl.o was always the first to defend the rights of Germany against the West, will not be found wanting when it is necessary to oppose the dis turbance of the balance of power in the East.

The proclamation of the Emperor to the troops at Boulogne has been posted up to-day in the streets of Paris, and it appears to be generally approved of. There is a rumor current that thttYen el? ex peditionary column in Algeria, against the Kabyle, has experienced a severe check. It is said that owing to some mismanagement the troops were exposed to a galling fire, in which a great number of men were killed, and a gen eral and two colonels were wounded. For tunately, it is added, Gen. MacMahon came up with a reinforcement and prevented a more serious disaster. If this rumor be well founded, it will be necessary to send more troops to Algeria. The. Pays of this day has an article on the eastern question, in which it expresses great to: -fideuce iu the German Powers. The Pays says there is no reasonable ground for supposing that they will not make common cause with the Western Powers. This opinion, however, has not produced much effect ou the public mind, and the allusion to the victory of Austerlitz, iu the proclamation of the Emperor Napoleon, has created a belief tnat he is not very well pleased with Austria. It is thought that if the conduct of the Austrian Cabinet had been such as to give him satisfaction, he would not have chosen such a moment to mortify it by an allu sion to the victories obtained by the French over the Anstrians. The New Post-Routl- Bill. The post-route bill which passed the two houses of Congress on yesterday is one of no ordinary value. Jt im bo.lies atiu arranges, on a systematic, intellifri- ble plan, all the routes now in operation inRlch State, together with a large majority of those authorized in late years, but not in actual ser vice, as well as about six hundred new ones proposed to the Post Office Committees by members for establishment during the present session. The route bills passed since 1810, when the last digested act on the subject was enacted, are dispersed through the law books in an unsystematic shape, so that investigations to decide which roads are, and which are not, authorized fOut.es, are quite impracticable in many cases. Besides, the transfer of the princi pal mails to the railroads latterly has compelled the Post Office Department, to meet the public wants, to put its connecting mails frequently on roads not legally declared mail-routes. The present bill remedies these difficulties, and has the further great merit of stating the interme diate points of supply by the official names of the post offices thereat, instead of the antiquat ed local appellations describing them in the original post-route bills. In fine, the .general effect of the measure will be to substitute light for obscurity, system for confusion. , Its pre paration must have involved immense labor. Wash.

' j tf town Fmttthe SaA Francisco Herald, July 1st. -- .!reat Pedestrian Feat ...Yesterday afternoon the doors of the "Moun taineer," on Commercial street, were crowded with persons anxious to see how Hughes looked, as the hour approached at which the extra ordinary pedestrian feat of walking for eigbty consecutive hours without stopping, which he had undertaken, should be accomplished, lie looked somewhat pale and jaded, and bets that he would never live to accomplish it were freely made, notwithstanding that he had olfered to stake a hundred dollars that he could walk ten miles more. The feat waperformed on a lajik..ffeJpn feet long and thre"etfectwide; and up -and djjjoi tIhjpydirjyfitc TOioieime, he has continued to pace, never stopping either to eat or to do anything else. The frequent turn ing weared him considerably, but he bore up manfully, and evidently was determined to ac complish what he engaged to do, or die. As ten o'clock approached, it was evident that the pedestrian found it almost impossible to keep awake. All sorts of noises were made clapping of hands, and knocking of canes on the walls, etc. for the purpose of rousing him and at last it became necessary to whip him pretty smartly. During the last half hour it was necessary to have two men walking along side of him in order to keep him on the plank. Hughes was dressed in tights, with strong shoes, and kept a bullet in his mouth all the time in order that his mouth might be kept moist with the saliva and the necessity of drink iiM? obviaUuL He ate and drank ver little during the -ho!e eighty hours. He was very much swollen yesterday; and described the sen- satious which he felt m his feet, as if fave nun dred nins and. needles were sticking in thern. When the time expired, he was taken off, and placed in a wine bath, and covered up in blank ets. He was then allowed to sleep for ten minutes kept awake for the same length of time allowed to sleep for twenty minutes and so on increasing the time. If this precau I tion was not adopted, and if, after the perform ance of the feat, he had been allowed to sleep " " length of time. it is more than probable .i . j ould never waKe again, inis was one of the most extraordinary pedestrian feats evcr performed. Some time ago, a noted pedestrian set out to perform a similar feat, but after the expiration of sixty-eight hours he fell asleep, out of which the discharge of a park of artillery would not be sufficient to arouse him. Hughes made a good deal of money by the operation. We nn derstand that upwards of live hundred dollars wire taken in at the door, yesterday; and this added to t e original bet of one thousand dol lars, w ould make the very handsome sum of one thousand five hundred dolhus. During the preceding davs a large amount of money was also taken in, and many outskle bets were tak en by Hughes himself. 1'rom the same. Contrary to all expectation, Hughes, who ac complished the extraordinary feat of walking for eighty consequtive hours without stopping, ! was out vesterdav, and paid a visit in the morn- I ing to a barber's shop. He looked very much ijaded and worn out. He is not allowed to j sleep but at short intervals. His legs are great I ly swollen, and his feet present the appearance of huge lumps of raw beef. He walked at a pretty good pace all the time, making an aver age of three miles an hour. It is calculated that he walked at least 240 miles from Thursday 2 p. m. to Sunday, 10 p. m. without once stop ping or sleeping. It was certainly one of the greatest examples of human endurance which Xapoleon'g Proclamation. The Emperor arrived at Boulogne on the 11th. -There was no public reception. On ar rival he reviewed the troops, and issued the following PROCI.AMAJ.IOJf to the armv. "Soldiers ! Russia having forced us to a war, France has armed 500,000 of her children.

The Council Bluffs Bugle has the following items respecting the new Territories : We learn that there are several scores of families that are mparing at and near this place to remove toebrnska immediately. They can wait no longer, and over thev D-onn.l mm- mence their improvements, rear" their cabius and prepare for agricultural wujjsuits for the ensuing season. We have eT advised the people to 'bide their time,' and until now, we believe, they have regarded our admonition most scrupulously; but when they hear of the thousands removing to Kansas, nothing can hold them longer they go. We vrth them no ill luck. They are mostly farmers and mechanics among whom are some of our best citizens! We connot see that the agent, Major Gate wood, has any power to hinder the occupancy of the lands, as the government has provided him with no troops nor other means to stop or even retard this movement, and we must hold him guiltless in this matter. We learn that he has visited a number of settlements, requir ing the squatters to remove from the Territory j Omaha city. The site for this city, which will doubtless be the future capital of Nebraska Ttnitory, is now beiug surveyed iuto lots. The plan of the city is of the most convenient aud elegant character. It is situated upon a de lightful aud slightly-incliued plain, commanding a view of a number of the towns on the side of the river, and the country on all sides for many miles around, with excell t a portion the majestic Missouri in front. This is one 'of the most delightful nntnrnl sites iu the world. THE NORTH CAROLINA Clark Slills.
