RATTAZZI smiles, and smiles, as who should say, " Alone I " did it." Italy is in mourning, though M. Barnum receives compliments and congratu lations from M. THOLTVENEL by telegraph, and though the Emperor NAPOLEON is more than eats fled. The monarchy has escaped all the dangers of the unknown, though it may be regretted that Colonel PALLAVICINI could not execute his orders without violating a flag of truce. The crowd of silent, but weeping men and women, who, from the heights above Spezzia, waved a mute and sor rowing message of remembrance to the frigate in which GARIBALDI lay, shattered and • prisoner, expressed in the voiceless language of the heart the sentiment of all true Italians at the tragic irony of fortune that brought back such a prisoner of state as the Leader of the Tuousann. At the same hour • solemn Council was sitting in Turin, consisting of the Cabinet Ministers and of certain other approved senators and statesmen, summoned to consider the question of an amnesty, or of the form of tribunal for judging men who had levied arms in the KING'S name against the sap planters of the Austrians and the soldiersof the Porn. Had the KING'S own heart been alone consulted, doubtless an .instant and comprehensive amnesty would have solved the question without a Council; but Views Emmarmzi., ever the moat acquiescent and exact of constitutional rulers, was again within one month to be compromised and hurt by the hesitations of a Minister too weak to be capable of a generous instinct—too puny in spirit to con ceive the sovereign grandeur of forgiveness. Amnesty was in every mind and on every lip as soon as the defeat of Aspromonte was known ; but the Officio/ Gazette of Turin was dumb. The Council had to choose between an immediate and unconditional amnesty to men still true and loyal, though rebellious, or a series of trials before military commissioners, or a monster trial in a High Court of Justice. Here was a golden opportunity for reconciliation not easily regained. Whether it was that M. RArrAZZI was unable to obtain an answer from St. Cloud, or whether a pusillani mous pedantry prevailed in the deliberations, no decision was taken, but the Council halted between the High Court of Justice and military commissions. It is one of the admirable results of the policy of the Emperor NAPOLEON that all the odium of violent and ungenerous measures, of the state of siege, and of the refusal of an amnesty, recoils upon his head. The idea of trying GARIBALDI and his follower by military commissions is freely attributed to the counsels of the hero of Strasbourg and Boulogne. Meanwhile it was reported, and not officially de nied, that General CIALDINI, trained unhappily in the sanguinary school of Spain, was having sum marily shot twenty-seven young volunteers, who might have lived to redeem one generous fault by an honourable death on the battle-field ; and General La MARMORA, probably to show his con tempt for volunteers, was ordering Italian blood to be spilt by way of encouragement to the regular army. An auspicious event in the Royal House of Savoy is approaching, the marriage of the amiable and beloved Princess PIA to the good young King of PowrunAL. Perhaps M. RArrAzzi is waiting for the happy day to decree a general amnesty. This would be a fault ; because an amnesty is a matter of course on a royal marriage, and the amnesty for the defeated of Aspromonte should be spontaneous enough to show that the Italian Government is at least independent of foreign dic- I tation in such a case. Every day the amnesty is delayed it became* more difficult to grant it with a good grace. There is one man, however, who is not a proper subject for an amnesty, and who will probably demand the most solemn form of trial, if the aris tocratic pedants and military martinets are intent upon bringing all these prisoners to judgment. GA RIBALDI tried for his life on a charge of treason; this would indeed be a masterpiece of policy on the part of M. RATIAZZI. It would at least be one of the most moving and pathetic passages in mo dern history. The veteran patriot's wounds would be his advocates. But what of his revela tions 4—if the contempt he cannot but feel for his accusers would permit him to speak 4 Can it be the desire of M. RATTAZZI'S Imperial patron to bring before the public gaze of Europe that Roman question, embodied in the man who defended Rome against a French army, and who fell thirteen years later by the hands of Iltis country men acting under the orders of the Emperor NAPOLEON T French policy towards Italy is already inscrutable enough, unless its object be to drain the gratitude of Italy to the dregs, and to bury the past benefits of the French alliance in eternal :execration and contempt. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1862. DEATH OF THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. (THIS DAY.) We have to announce the death of the Arch-1 bishop of Canterbury. The venerable primate expired at a quarter after 3 o'clock this morning, at Addington Park, Surrey. For several days past his grace had been gradually sinking, and not the slightest hopes of recovery were given by his medical attendants on Wednesday last. The late Right Hon. and Most Rev. John Bird Sumner, D.D., Archbishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England, and Metropolitan, was born in 1780, at Kenilworth, in Warwickshire, being the eldest of the two sons of the Rev. Robert Sumner, vicar of that parish. He was sent to Eton College, and there showed such talent as to promise a brilliant future. As one of the suc cessful scholars of that foundation, he, at the close of his probationary career, removed to King's College, Cambridge. At that University he greatly distinguished himself. In 1800 he was Brown's Medallist, and Hulsean Prizeman in 1802. He took his degree of B.A. the same year, being then a Fellow of his College, and was soon afterwards appointed one of the assistant masters of Eton College. In 1805 he was admitted to priest's orders. In 1817 he was elected Fellow of Eton College, and in the following year appointed rector of Maple Durham, Oxfordshire ; he was, in 1819, chosen a prebendary of Durham. In 1828, the see of Chester becoming vacant by the translation of the late Charles James Bloom field, D.D., to the bishopric of London, the Rev. Mr. Sumner was selected by the Doke of Welling ton, the then First Lord of the Treasury, to till the vacancy. At that period, and, indeed, during nearly the whole of the 20 years that Dr. Sumner was bishop of that diocese, he was the hardest worked prelate in the kingdom, the vast and populous district under his control demand ing his constant attention. To the duties of his episcopate he displayed untiring devotion, and his energy, coupled with amia bility, rendered him a favourite not only with the clergy, but also with the laity with whom he became associated. By the death of the venerated Dr. Howley, in February, 1848, the archbishopric of Canterbury became at the disposal of Lord John Russell, who at once appointed Dr. Sumner to that exalted and responsible position in the church. During his protracted public life be rarely spoke in the House of Lords on subjects not relating to the church. Soon after his elevation to the bench of bishops, he was called upon to concede hit vote on catholic emancipation, an act which rendered him for the time most unpopular among the clergy of his dio- Me. latterly, he strongly opposed the admis sion of Jews into parliament, and in the Divorce Bill strenuously objected to the proposed clause allowing the marriage of the guilty parties. He was also a staunch opponent to the revision of the Liturgy, and against the resuscitation of the active powers of Convocation. The late Primate had been a liberal and successful contributor to theological literature. Among the best known of his books were "Ser mons on the Christian Faith and Character," " Apostolic Preaching considered in an Examina tion of St. Paul's Epistles," " Treatise on the Records of the Creation, and on the Moral Attri butes of the Creator," and " Evidences of Chris tianity derived from its Nature and Reception." The venerable Primate was brother of the Bishop of Winchester. He married in 1803 Miss Robert son, daughter of Captain George Robertson, R.N. ; she died iu 1829. His Grace was made a Privy Councillor on his ele vation to the archiepiscopate in 1848. He was an official trustee of the British Museum, a Go vernor of the Charter House, Visitor of All Souls' and Merton Colleges, Oxford ; Visitor of Eton College and of Harrow School ; of King's College, London ; and Dulwich College; Visitor and Elector of St. Angustine's College, Canterbury, &c. From his exalted position in the church, as might be expected, he was a benefactor to the majority of the religious and charitable institutions of the metropolis. He was president of the Society for Promoting the Enlargement, Building, and Repair ing of Churches and Chapels ; president of the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy ; president of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts ; president of the Society for Main taining and Educating Poor Orphans of Clergymen of the EstablialiedChurch; vioe-patron of the Church Missionary Society ; patron of the Prayer Book and Homily Society ; president of Dr. Bray's Institu tion ; patron of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews ; !president of the National Society ; vice-patron of the Colonial and Continental Church Society ; president of the Society ..for Promoting the Employment of Addi tional Curates in Populous Places ; visitor of Arch bishop Tenison's Grammar School ; president of the Grey Coat Hospital, Westminster ; visitor of Marlborough College ; a governor of the Duke of Wellington's College ; patron of the National Truss Society ; patron of the Ladies' Charity School; vice-patron and vice-president of the Female Orphan Asylum ; president of the School for Indigent Blind ; president of the Royal Asylum of the St. Ann's Society; patron of the London Hibernian Society ; president of the Infant Orphan Asylum ; president of the Society of Schoolmasters, dm The diocese includes the county of Kent (except the deanery of Rochester and a few suburban ,parishes) together with Addington and Croydon in Surrey ; annual value 15,0001. The province of Canterbury includes twenty sees, viz., those of London, Winchester, Bath and Wells, Bangor, Chichester, Ely, Exeter, Gloucester and Bristol, Hereford, Lichfield, Lien daff, Norwich, Oxford, Peterborough, Rochester, Salisbury, St. Asaph, St. David's, and Worcester. The will of Charles Parker, Esq., has been proved in London by the executors. The personalty was sworn under 70,0001. This gentleman, who was a widower, died in May last. He was a retired aolioitor, formerly of the arm of Mann Hayes, Twieden, and Parker, and after a sumer ful profeesicoal career he appears to have sought the trait quality of a rural life. The will is of moderate dimen dons, and bears date 1860, with a codicil executed one month prior to his decease. His freehold estate and resi dence at Binfield, together with the cottages, land, and farming stock, he devises to his two sisters-in-law for their lives. There are also several other bequests left to them absolutely. On the decease of the last survivor of them the estate is to pose to the testator's brother, John Henry Parker, Esq., who is also nominated residuary legatee of the entire property. There are many bequests to the testator's nephews and other relatives and friends, and a legacy of 501. to an old servant. The following chi' liable institutions have bean considered by the testator, namely, 500 f. to the Royal Berkshire Hospital, 500/. to Ring's College Hospital, and 5001. to the St. John's Training Institution for Nurses, Norfolk-street, Strand. Brussels is now very full of foreigners. Among the most recent arrivals are the Lord Mayor of London and Sir Joseph 011iffe. bt Comm. BB.IISSELS, THUBBDAY Ssar. 4.

Her Majesty landed immediately in the strictest privacy and proceeded at once in a special train to lecke% when her Majesty remains on a ilea to the King of the Belgians, with the Princesses Helena, Louise, and Beatrice, and the Princess Hohenlohe. The Prinoes Arthur and Leopold, with" the ladies wed gen tlemen of the suite, went on to Brussels, where they are lodged at the Palace. The Duke and Duchess of Brabant and the Comte de Madras met her Majesty at Antwerp, and proceeded at once on board the royal yacht s moon as she anchored. The Queen landed in the barge of the Kim of the Belgiaas. In attendance on the Queen are the Marchioness of Ely, Lady Augusta Bruce, Lieut.-General the Hon. C.

Commo dore Superintendent Sir F. W. E. Nicholson, flag officer at Woolwich, this day received an official communication to the effect that his Royal Highness and suite will arrive at Woolwich ►bout six o'clock p.m. to-morrow, and the em barkation will take place shortly after that hoar. In accordance with the directions of his Royal Highness, the proceedings will be conducted with • similar degree of privacy as the embarkation of her Majesty on Monday last. and beyond Commodore Nicholson, and a select number of officers who will superintend the embarkation, no person will be admitted to the pier. The Vivid and Black Eagle stem vessels will form part of the royal squadron.. Robert Bray, superintendent of the It division of police, has been appointed by the Metropolitan Police Commis rimers as acting superintendent of the Woolwich Arsenal and Dockyard force, pending the suspension of Mr. Kingston Mark, for allowing • friend of the principal naval store keeper to enter the dockyard during prohibited hours on the day of her Majesty's embarkation. It appears that Mr. Mark, who is • highly respected and efficient officer of more than twenty-five years' service, protested against the admis sion of the gentleman referred to, but did not use absolute force to eject him, inasmuch that Mr. Piers, the store keeper, who resides in the dockyard, insisted upon his friend walking down the yard to his own house, which he consi dered was not opposed to the Admiralty order. Mr. Piers having also been suspended, an official inquiry respecting the matter is ordered to take place. Their Highnesses the Prince and Princess Kinski have strived at Claridge's Hotel, from Austria. The Prince and Princess Gazarine have left Claridge's Hotel, for Paris.

It is suggested that, to com plete the comfort and advantage to the wearer, a light and handsome headdress might be adopted in the place of the unsightly and awkward cocked hat. The various articles, other than cotton, available for textile manufactures, are now attracting attention and experiencing an advance in price. in flax, hemp, jute, and materials generally of that class, there has been an active businem during the week. Within the next six weeks there will be nume rous congresses meeting in various parte of Germany to consider questions of more or lees importance.

The Yorkshire Architectural Society will hold i.s next meeting on the Bth end 9th.inst.. A counterpart of Roupell has just appeared before the criminal court of Toulon, in the person of the ex director of the Christian Brothers' schools in that town. For twenty years his life hu been an uninterrupted ooune of swindling, carried on with such adroitness that nobody entertained the slightest suspicion as to the means by which he provided his table with the rarest delicacies. The most novel feature in this case is that the denouncers of the culprit belong to his ..rder. He was employed by them to exert his influence over divers individuals in getting money left to some religious establishment, and was thus afforded excellent opportunities of making false deeds and wills in his own favour. The vows of the French Christian Fathers not being perpetual, did not exclude him from the benefit of his legacies, and a savings bank started by him served as a supplementary resource where bills for choice wines, orto lens, and other delicacies of the table exhausted the funds acquired by the fraudulent deeds and wills. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE SCOTIA. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Scotia, Captain Jud kins, which left New York on the 27th ult., arrived inabe Mersey this afternoon. A telegraphic summary of her advices has already appeared. A special despatch from Lexington, Kentucky, says : An order was issued on the 23rd to impress 1,200 slaves to repair the railroad between here and Cumberland Gap . Au impressment was made in Fayette and Madison counties, and loyal owners were paid labourers wages for their SIAM+ while rebel owners were referred to the department at Washington for the pay for their slaves. It was not neces sary to take the negroes of many loyalists. The rebels are in great distress in consequence of the impressment, as many of their negroes were taken while working in the hemp fields. Other roads in different parts of the state are also to be repaired by impressing negroes in other counties. PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE EMANCI PATION QUESTION. The President had forwarded the following letter to the Hon. Mr. Greeley, in answer to an appeal by the latter gentleman urging the emancipation of the slaves: Washiegtaa, August W. Sir,—l have just read yours of the 19th, addressed to myself through the New York Tribune. If there be in it any statements or assumptions, I do rot now and here controvert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an im patient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deference to an old friend whom heart I have always supposed to be right. As to the policy "I seem to be pur.uitg," as you say, I h►ve not meant to leave anyone in doubt. I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored, the tearer the Union will be "the Union as it, was." If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My p►ramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not eithe r to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it ; sad if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it ; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the coloured race, I do because I believe it helps to save this Union ; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the muse. I shall try to correct erten when shown to be errors ; and I shall adept new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose, according to my view of official duty, and I Mimed no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men, everywhere, could be free.—Yours, A. Liseous. In response to this letter Mr. Greeley publish; another long appeal, in which he says :11 I never doubted, and have no friend who doubts that you desire, before and above all else, to re-establish the now derided authority and vindicate the territorial in tegrity of the republic. I intended to raise only this question :—Do you propose to do this by recognising, obeying, and enforcing the laws, or by ignoring, disre garding, and in effect defying them. I stand upon the law of the land. The humblest his a dear right to invoke its protection and support against even the highest. That law —in strict accordance with the law of nations, of nature, and of God—declares that every traitor now engaged in the infernal work of destroying our country bas forfeited thereby all claim or colour of right lawfully to bold human beings in slavery. I salt of you a clear and public recognition that this law is to be obeyed wherever the national authority is respected. The rebellion is strengthened. the National cause is imperilled, by every boar's delay to strike treason this staggering blow. V The New York Herald advises the President to put a summary atop to the sedition of Mr. Greeley and his party. . - Secretary Seward, in a note to the British char d'affaires, informs that gentleman:thatlaliens'. who have declared their intentions are not subject to the draft, none but actual citizens being subject to the process. A Washington telegram says : - . The President's colonisation scheme is actually moving onward. Numbers of negroes have signified their willing. nese to avail themselves of the opportunity i to form a colony. Senator Pomeroy Las /undertaken a mission of inveetiga. tion to the designated region in South America, with a view to ascertain the correctness of the representations made in reference to it, and to protect the government and the nolooista from any tricks by land speculators. Mr. Pomeroy, in an address to the Degrees, states that the proposed settle' meat will be at Chiriqui, New Granada. I : s ide Serious mote had taken place at Cincinnati, be tween the Irish and the negrocs. A great war demonstration was to take place at New York, on the steamer's day of sailing. GENERAL BUTLER AND THE FRENCH CONSUL AT NEW ORLEANS. NEW YORK, Amuse 27. The following is the text of the correspondence between General Butler and the French consul at New Orleans, in reference to the order requiring the delivering up of arms : French Consulate at New Orleans, August 12. Sir,--The new order of the day, which has been pub lished this morning, and by which you require that all and whatever arms which may be in possession of the people of this city must be delivered up, has caused the moot serious alarm among the French subjects of New Orleans. Foreigners, sir, and particularly Frenchmen, have. uotwith• standing the accusations brought against them by certain persons, sacrificed everything to maintain during the actual conflict the neutrality imposed upon them. When arms were delivered them by the municipal autho rities they only used them to maintain order and defend personal propeity, and those arms have sines been almost all returned. And it now appears, according to the tenor of your order of to-day, that French subjects, as well as citizens, are required to 'surrender their personal arms, which could'only be used in self. defence. For some time pest unmistakable signs have manifested themselves among the servile population of the city and surrounding country of their intention to break the bonds which bind them to their masters, and many persons apprehend an actual re. volt. It is by these signs, this prospect of finding ourselves completely unarmed in the presence of a population from which the greatest excesses are feared, that we are above all things justly alarmed ; for the result of such a state of things would fall on all alike who were left without the means of self defence. It is not denied that the protection of the United Staters government would be extended to them in such an event, but that protection could not be effected at all times and in all places, nor pro vide against those internal enemies whose unrestrained len guage and manners are constantly increasing, and who are but partially kept in subjugation by the conviction that their masters are armed. I submit to you, sir, these observations, with the request that you take them into consideration. Please accept, air, the assurance of my high esteem. The Consul of France, Com. litiseg. Lieutenant Weitzel, United States Engineers and assistant military commandant of New Orions. Headquarters, Department of the Gulf, New Orleans, Animus 14, 1862. Sir,—Your official note to Lieutenant Weitzel, Assistant Military Commandant, has been forwarded to me. I see no just cause of complaint against the order requir ing the arms of private 'citizens to be delivered up. It is the usual course pursued in cities similarly situated to this, even without any exterior force iu the neighbourhood. You will observe that it will not do to trust to mere pro fessions of neutrality. I trust most of your countrymen are in good faith neutral, but it is unfortunately true that some of them are not. This cusses the good, of necessity, to suffer for the acts of the bad. I take leave to call your attention to the fact that the United States forties gave every immunity to Konaieur 13onnegrsaa who claimed to be the French Consul at Baton Rouge, allowed him to keep his arms, and relied upon hit neutrality ; but his eon was taken prisoner .in the battle field in arms against us. _ You will alio do me the favour to remember that very few of the French subjects here have taken the oath of i neutrality, which was offered to but not required of them by my order No. ei, although all the officers of the French legion had with your knowledge and meant taken the oath to support the constitution of the Confederate States. Thum you see I have no guarantee for good faith of bad men. I do not understand how it is that arms are altered in their effectiveness by being " personal property," nor do I see how arms which will serve for personal defence (qui ne peuvent *emir que pour leer (Waite perionelle) cannot be as effectually used for offensive warfare. Of the disquiet, which you say there are signs manifest ing themselves among the black population, of a desire to break their hoods, which bind them to their masters (certaines dispositions 4 ronipre let liens qui let attaehent d lairs mitres). I have been • not inattentive observer, without wonder, because it would seem nature], when their masters bad set them the example of rebellion against constituted authorities that the negroes, being an imitative race, should'do But surely the representative of the Emperor, who does not tolerate slavery in France, does not desire his country. men to be armed for the purpose of preventing the negross from breaking their bonds. Let me assure you that the protection of the United States against violence either by negroes or white men, whether citizens or foreign, will continue to be as perfect as it has been since oar advent here, and by far more, manifesting itself at all momenta and everywhere (tous lee instants et parfout) than any improvised citizens organisation can do. Wh the inhabitants of this city will, by a public and united act, show both their loyalty and neutrality, I shall be glad of their cid to keep the peace, and indeed to restore the city to them. MI that time, however, I must require the arms of all the inhabitants, white and black, to be under my rostra I have the honour to be, your obedient servant, BCNJ. F. BUTLER, Major• General Commanding. To Count Ate*, French Coma ITALY. It is stated in the correspondence of the SsC Le of to-day that, on the afternoon of Tuesday, Gari baldi was carried in a litter from the frigate off Speszia to the fort of Varignano. During the journey, at a halt of the porters, it was observed that he had fainted. Great attention was at once paid to him, and he shortly afterwards revived. His son Riocotti, who is quite a boy, is with him. It is stated in one quarter that the illustrious general was desirous of being attended by Dr. Bertani ; but his wish was not granted, as Bertaui is under arrest. M. Kossuth has arrived in Turin.

A correspondent ought almost to apologise to your readers for perpetually returning to the same speculations as to the intentions of Napoleon 111. on the subject of Italy. Maio, que coukr eons ? It is forced upon one. The Italian question is the living question of the day—the question of ques tions, upon which all politicians interrogate each other ; and there is, in the whole world, but one man who holds the solution of that question, for good or evil, in Lis hand. It is even frightful to contemplate at once the concentrated power implied by this admission, and the tremen dous responsibility which will attend its use. We are, therefore, virtually discussing the whole Italian question, when we ask what is the French Emperor's will with respect to the occupation of Rome 1 The " beet informed people" (who are pro bably they who know least about the matter) are divided in their assertions as to what passed at the council held at St. Cloud on Wednesday, for while one party insists that there was • stormy discussion about " something," another will have it that there was not even an animated discussion about anything, least of all about the Roman question, the Emperor refusing to have it even broached. The fearful tempest which recently wrought such havoc in Algeria had nearly proved fatal to one of the most rising painters in a school peculiarly French, Alfred Couverchel, the favourite pupil of Horace Vernet. This young artist is at present at Laghouat, engaged, by order of the government, upon one of those huge pictures representing a vic tory over no matter whom, in which the national vanity takes such delight. The subject is the battle which took place in the desert of Sahara, between the French tribes under Si-Bon-Becker and the Tousregaunder Mohamed-Ben-Abdallah, and which ended in the defeat of the latter, and the capture of their chief. Never had painter better materials placed at his disposal. Not only did the govern- I ment build him an atelier at Laghouat, and allow him to be escorted far into the desert, in order that he might study effects of scenery and atmosphere, 'but Marshal Pelissier had a sham fight performed expressly for him by the friendly tribe under the sou of its chief, Si-Bon - Becker , exactly representing the battle he has to paint. Every human figure will be a portrait, so will every horse or other animal, and every atvessory and detail will be of the utmost veracity. Couverchel was working at his picture when the tempest came on, and before he had time to escape torrents of water rushed into the building, and the walls began to crumble about him. He had reached the door when the sight of a little pet monkey which was strug gling in the water caused him to return. Already was one soldier crushed under the walla. Con verchers death would have been inevitable, had he not been seized (by order of the commanding officer, his friend) by two soldiers and borne away. The pic ture, strange to say, was very little injured, the water having bad no effect upon its oiled surface. It will be exhibited in Algiers, and subsequently at the exhibition of paintings next summer in Paris. These details are from a private source, and may be interesting to your readers. I have visited the new ThAtre Lyrique, which is the last of the three new theatres built by the city of Paris, and which will open next week. It is, internally, apparently a commodious, as it oer tainly is an elegant, construction. It is to be inau gurated, as they solemnly say here, in default of poor Haloivy's Noe, by the Undine of Seinet, also a new work. This will be played alter nately with the great hit of last season, La Chatte Meroeilleuse. Then will follow Balfe's Bohentienne, a production which cannot fail to have an interest for English visitors, with Madame Cabal and the new contralto, Mdlle. Morio. The appearance of this latter, will, if I am not greatly mistaken, form an epoch in the musical art of Europe. Halivy pronounced her to have every qualification requisite to make her one of the first singers of her time. After mentioning this, it may seem presumptuous to say that I speak of her from personal knowledge. I venture, however, to confirm fully all that report hag said of her. For quality and pathos her voice is almost unequalled at the present day. Without venturing to compare her as a singer to Alboni, I consider that her voice is of a finer quality than that of thin great artist, while for dramatic power she is immeasurably her superior. Mdlle. Trebelli, whom we had here at the Italian Opera, is every way inferior to Mdlle. I Mono. It is her intention to pursue au Italian career ; so let Messrs. Gye and Mapleson be on the look out. All the friends of thin young lady must desire that she may steer clear of the Grand Opera. Whatever the prestige• attending that national establishment, it has been the grave of more fine voices, male and female, than any theatre in the world. Meyerbeer has much to answer for on this score ; more so, perhaps, the magnificent but fatally overpowering orchestra presided over by M. Dietacb. Let those who would have au orchestra fulfil its real mission of supporting and bringing out the singer's voice, go and hear the Scrounge Ilaitnesse. Our modern composers should reflect upon the precious but fragile materials with which they have to produce their effects. Verdi in not blameless in this respect. M. linhans has wearied of his task in the press department. Sick of "slaughtering the innocents," he has, so the .Voniteur tells us, asked to be "tailed to other functions." He is replaced by a functionary with a handle to his name, M. le Compte de Treilhard. You know that M. le Vi comte de la Guerronniere made himself famous in this office. The Emperor's departure for Biarritz without having made any sign, together with the total ab sence of news from Italy, concur to give flatness to the Bourse. Little was doing to-day.

MR. SEWARD ON THE AMERICAN WAR. The following reply has been received from Mr. Seward to the address lately forwarded to the government of the United Stated; by the Paisley Amociation : Reform Department of State, Washington, Aug. 14, 1862. To Alex. M'Aodrew, President, and Robt. Cochran, Secre tary of the Paisley Parliamentary Reform Association. Gentlemen,—l h►ve had the pleasure of receiving the liberal and courteous address of the Paisley Parliamentary Edam Association, and have submitted it to the President of the United states and the heads of the departments of this government. Engaged in maintaining against an unprovoked and cause less sedition • government whose principle is the political equality of the members of the state, and whose policy is peace and good-will towards all states and all men, it has been a disappointment to learn that our struggle is at best a matter of indifference to the governments of Europe, while it is generally represented to um that the nations of that continent sympathise, not with us, bat with the in surgents, and desire nothing less than our national ruin. If these representations are true, it is • new and melan choly illustration of the disposition of mankind to seek to do harm to each other at the cost of common sacribces and sufferings. For your better appreciation of the character of this con test, and for your most generous wishes for the safety, welfare, and happiness of our country, you will please to exept the thanks of the people of the American continent I speak in the name of the continent, because I know that the cause of the United States is accepted by all the Ameri. can nations as one involving ultimately their safety and their destiny. _ . The North does not, however, stand alone in upholding this beneficent government. Th 3 West is equally loyal and equally devoted to oar iostitutions, and equally energetic in defending them. Nor is the South, as you seem to ima gine, altogether insensible or unfaithful. Time, which always subdues passions otherwise unooutcqllable, gradually freeing that region from the terrors of the insurrection, and preparing the way for its return to its constitutional duties, and for the restoration of national unity and peace. It is an oxasion of sincere regret for the people of this country that nations for whom we have cherished only sea. timenta of friendship and affection, are disturbed in their industrial occupations in consequence of this unhappy civil s trife. We find in this circumstance • new and distinct motive to bring the war to a safe and speedy conclusion. Nations, in modern times, are not absolutely indepeodeut of each other ; on the other hand, they constitute a general society. If all Europe could not only think but speak as you do, there would soon be no civil war or insurrectioa here. In return, Europe would have our suffrages - - flume for peace and harmony everywhere.-1 ha , honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, WILLIAM H.
