Monk ant LONDON, 1U3811.47. .74N. 10. Area in vain waiting three weeks for the end of the pcty contest for the Epeakership of the House of Repreeentativee, Presideat BUCHANAN has de liverot his Message to a Congress as yet unorganised. Whatever we have to learn from our American etnisiev, their parliamentary forms and habits do not appear to advantage in comparison with oar own. Assuming that the abridgment of the Message which has reached us fairly represents the whole, we have no reason to complain of the manner in which the American Ettestneerr deals with the general relations between Great Britain and the United States. The questions arising out of the CLAYTON and Betwext Treaty of April, 1830, which have figured portentously in several sOOOSOHYS Messages, and remained a source of disquietude lut year, are cow represented aa on the eve of an adjustment alike honourable and eatisfutory to both England and America, a consum mation only contingent on certain arrangements with Vendome and Nicaragua not yet complete. Is mentioning this subject last year, Mr. BUCHANAN said that the settlement of the Central Merriam question would " wipe out the last remaining sub " jute( dispute between the two countries." The advesee claims of England and America to the island of San Juan, at that time in the hands of Commis sioners appointed jointly by the two Governments, must have appeared of very little importance to the American statesman, if indeed they were not for gotten, when be used those words. General BARNEY, by theagtetlesely bringing the military forces of the Republic on the scene in July, engaged the pride of both eciantries in the boundary dispute, and so raised it to avesetion of the first order. The PILLSIDENT admits that for a time there was serious danger of a collision between the English and American unto rine', end he pays a high compliment to the wisdom of Admiral BAYNES, who with a large navel force at his disposal firmly resisted the temptation to achieve a showy mucous@ at the sacrifice of the precione interests which bind the two countries to cultivate pesos and friendship. This commendation will make very good teadiog for General ILLLNHY. 'lhe danger of a oollieion has been removed by the aveement concluded between General Score and kr. IkIVOLLII, and the negotiations for a permanent settlement of the boundary may pursue their way without interruption by the violence of the citizens or 'objects of either State who are on the spot. Coanderiog the number of points at which the interests of the two countries come into contact, and the formidable aspect in which every difference between them IS invariably prevented to the American public at first, it is satisfactory to remark the uniform triumph of good sense and moderation in the Stater, • result which must he attributable to the moderating influence of that full infor mation on publ.c affairs which us diffused throughout the Repaboc by the universal agency of its news papers. Tte American journal., from which in times of excitement it is so easy for us to extract virulent and exasperating passages, convey every day, to the homes of the l nion, some facts which retailed the two nations of those common interests, both moral and material, eh eh distinguish them from the rest of the world, and unite them in close bonds of sympathy ; and it is by facts that the Anglo-Saxon everywhere is pureed. Mr. BOCKAXAN'II Werra(' to the other foreign relatiooo of the limited States might hay* bees borrowed from t►e' Message of Imt year with the least porible modification. There in pease with the great empires and kingdoms of the world, and than my (patrols only with Mates which incommode the flight of the American eaglm Mexico, and Spain as the owner of Cuba, are again to Con gress destKoated ad bad netwhboars, tie itarmar b.hariag ao ;41 that the i'ltratbaNT, tot in the least mollified by the great adrestage Le TP E EXPRESS, T has obtained from Ruin in the reset treaty, asks the representatives of the people for entharity to levy war upon it. The arguments is fair of each a come are very strong. The republic of the United States already suffers the dimutvantages of war in the persons of its citizens, w1 , .0 are robbed, imprisoned, murdered, by • rub of generals, go vernors, and mayors, for whom nobody can answer, and who set all international lf a w at defiance. "We " have been nominally at r i sme, but we might as " well have been at war." Mr. BUCHANAN thinks that it would be as well to get something out of this chaos sae, disorder, and o a k s liberty t o employ military kers for the purpose of obtaining " indemnity for 'the pest and security for the future" —a phrase of terrible elasticity. The Government of the United States is so clearly muter of the position that it may with owe extend its frontier in a month-westerly direction, or make reprisals on the wart or in the interior of Mexico; while the rest of the world would have little to do but wonder at the ir,fataation of the Mexicans, who have done all in their power to invite a hostile visitation. The old Spanish dispute figures as a stock piece in the Message. The relations of the Republic with Spain have not improved. We in England know that the Court of Madrid does not fritter away its ready money in paying old debts. At Wathing ton they make the same complaint. The Ame rican, like the English bill, is made out, and the debt is admitted; but it is not paid. Spain, there's reason to believe, is not viciously dishonest. She has no ebjec , ion to settle, except the common one of &Men —that she wants to vend the mousy in another way. We knew that fightieg is a very expensive amuse ment, sad Spain Wiest in the midst of the Morocco& war. But with respect to the American debt three may be also a special reason for reluctance to pay up. They know at Madrid what is the limit el England's demands, but they have no mearenes that when the Washington bill is discharged the worry will mare. On the contrary, they know very well that as long as they hold Oath the account with the United States will never be balanced. Every year the American PRIBIDENT sakes the Spanish occupation of Cuba a grievannt— a constant source of injury and annoyance to the American people. Again and again the Spanish Government has been premed to sell the island. More, the threat has been held out that the United States Government may be compelled to take pos session of Cuba under the imperative and overruling law of self-preservation. " Oar relations with " Spain, which ought to be of the most friendly du o meter, must always bo plaoed in jeopardy whilst the .. exasting colonial government over the island shall 0 remain in its present constitution." Without dwell ing on the bearings of the American proposition, we must say that a defaulting state never had less encouragement than Spain to sores to a settlement with its creditor. This Cuban question is, however, a very old one, and ss it has figured in the meseiges of many Presidents, so its likely to afford a theme Or Mr. MUCEIANAN'S =COMM& CD Cain. WINDSOR CASTLE, lAN. 9.

A Vienna letter of the 6th says Despatches received from Paris within the last few days have produced a very disagreeable effect, insomuch as they announce that a complete understanding be tween France and England has been established. It is added that the government is now convinced that, contrary to what was believed, neither Ramie nor Prussia will in any way defend in the Congress the integrity of the Pontifical States. It is no doubt true that those two powers are not disposed to make themselves the champions of the programme set forth in the pamphlet ' Ls Pape et le Comte,' they do not consider the re-establishment of the power of the Pope as a matter of absolute necessity, especially as experience has shown that his Holiness cannot hold possession of the revolted provinces without the assistance of foreign troops. It is believed here that the court of the Tuileries will content itself with the independence of Romagna, and will be disposed to leave the rest of the Papal territory to the Pope."

MONDA:r RyiNING. A paragraph in the Paris, whin); Was the air of a oosissusekui, gives a positive dr a id to the rumour, which it regards, however, an ' toe incredible to be worth denying," that the 'lope is shoat to leave Rome. The Univers admits • , ,with the Debate and Slide, that the Pope's petsc.nally responsible for the abuse heaped upon the FSenoh government in the Gioneato di Roma, rnd sown. the subterfuges of the Petrie and Cwastitetiogusel, which would shelter the comraon father of the faithful" by resorting to the fiction that Cardinal Antonelli is alone to blame. The Constitutioomet calls attention to the fact that several public charities, mainly under the direction of priests, show a tendency to use the infinencn of the money at their command against the government, and in favour of party views of the interests of the church at the present crisis. It gives the parties alluded to fair notice that their proosedings are watched, and that the government will tolerate no abuse of the power they derive from public benevo lenoe. Mat of the voluntary and self-constituted charitable societies are, it nye, strictly speaking, illegal, and are only tolerated so long u they do good, and distribute alms impar tially, according to the intentions of the donors. It quotes a saying of St. Vincent de Paul, the patron saint of one of the principal charities in France, to the effect that " priests ought not to converse even among them selves of those differences which arm princes one against another, or of those subjects of rivalry which divide nations, and that ii fortiori the administrators of charities should sedulously stand aloof from polities." In connexion with this subject, I may state that a government circular, which molt neossearily soon be made public, has reeently been sent to the prefects, in which they are instructed firmly to resist any attempts on the part of t►e priesthood to trench upon the jurisdiction of the state and transgress the boundaries assigned to the. by French law and custom. The Bourse has more than lost the ground it re covered on Saturday. The Rents fell 500. for sash and 40c. for account, closing at 68fr. 40c. and Mfr. 56c. Mobilise fill 18fr. 76c. The Orleans railway fell 10fr.; Northern, Bfr. 250.; and the other lines from 2fr. 60c. to Mr. 760. There was a talk of the resignation of Lord John Russell. General de Montauban leaves Paris to-morrow, and will embark at Maresilles on January 12 on board the Peathbre, for Alexandria, whence he proceeds, rid Suez, to take the command of the French expedition against China. He may be expected to arrive at Hong Hong from the Ist to the sth of March. General Changarnier is passing a faw days in Paris on private business. The Abbe Sisson, the editor of the Ami de la Re ligion, presented himself at the doors of the Con ciergerie the other day, with a view of surrendering himself to undergo the sentence of three months' imprisonment, passed upon him for publishing the fabricated letter of Victor Emmanuel to Napoleon 111., but the gaoler, in pursuance of orders, refused to receive him, saying that the government could not think of allowing him to suffer imprisonment. ITALY. . CENTRAL ITALY. ITALY. (mom ova mutat cossiaromisirr4 FLORENCE, JAL 4. The rulers of Tuscany warn at last to understand that it is not by appointi:ig a large staff of profes sors and founding sinecures that the cause of the country can be prope:rly served. The mania for thus squandering publao money has lately disappeared, and we no low: see an endless list of official ap pointments eillich would have been simply ridiculous if it did not imply a great expenditure of money. I have bran told, for instance, that while the navy of the star is represented by two small vessels, and its staff 'by two or three officers, its administration, wh'ich forms a section of the war department, employs more than 14 individuals. Bureaucracy has always 'oven one of the greatestevils of Italian States, but this bad principle, which was adhered to by despotic governments for the sake of their own interest, ought not to have been followed by the national govern ment of the country. But as I remarked at the commencement of this letter, it now seems that the gentlemen of Palaxso Vecchio have adopted a more economical principle of government, and that hence forward the public money will be employed for more useful purposes. The armament of the country is, of course, among the most important of these, and I am glad to hear that all the exertions of the Tuscan rulers are directed to it. By an ordinance of the Minister of War, which appeared in lent evening's Monitore Tolman°, the eight Tuscan regi ments of the line and the four battalions of sharp shooters are going to follow the numbers of the Sardi nian army, so that the first of' those regiments will be designated with the number twenty-nine, and so forth. The Tuscan army is also going to be dressed like the Piedmonts's, and to be organised in the same manner. By these means the 12,000,000 of Italians who have determined to be united into one political ' body will possess the same military organisatioo, ' which will have the effect of rendering their assi milation almost inevitable. Although the opposition against Baron Ricasoli seems to have, at least openly, ceased, I hear that the town council of Leghorn, which is going to meet this evening, intends to make a sort of political de. monetretion against the Tuscan premier. This oppo sition will not absolutely imply a vote of censure ; but, if I have been oorrectl7 informed, it will record its disapprobation of the line of policy followed by the baron on the question of the regency. The liberal party . of the country is still convinced that 1 1 had the premier yielded to the wise suggestions of Parini the three assemblies of Central Italy would have met at Florence, where the political affairs of the country would have been more effectively carried on by the united action of the representatives of the people and of the Governor-General. All separation between the states of Central Italy would have thus I been done away with, and the so mach desired union would have become a political fact. It is really a deplorable fact that the rulers of Tuscany have not sacrificed the petty municipal interests of the duohy to the wider and more important requirements of the nation. The arrest of the Rev. Father Filette, formerly inquisitor of the tribunal of the Holy Office at Bo logna, has produced a great sensation both in the above-mentioned town and at Modena. You have not *gotten that it was Father Filette who re ceived the depositions of the servant girl who pretended to have baptised the Mortara child while she was nursing him in his father's house. It was he who put into execution the cruel sentence of the holy tribunal, which was so promptly approved by the kind and paternal heart of his Holiness. After the retirement of the Austrians, Father Filette withdrew into some con vent of Romagna. It seems, however, that two weeks ago instructions were sent to him from Rome, by the General of the Order, to repair to Bologna, no doubt for the purpose of conspiring against the newly established government of the country. Al though the order was secretly despatched to his place of concealment, I have been told that a rumour of the mission of Father Filette was mysteriously sent to Farini. at Modena. The Governor-Gene ral of the /Roam provinces having given the necessary orders, the Dominican monk was arrested the day before yesterday, and banded over to the criminal tribunal of Bologna charged with the crime of kidnapping the child Mortara. No doubt the clerical party will made a great noise about this, and we shall read long articles in the Arniaisia and Univers, intended to prove that lay tribunals have no jurisdiction over a priest. The criminal laws of the country are, however, to be abso lute in the matter, and there is no doubt that the fanatic inquisitor will have to pay once for all for the numberless cruelties he has been guilty of. The energy which Farioi has always shown in the ad ministration of justice gives hope that the parents of this child will at last be righted by the action of common law. The Opinion' of Turin says :—" Public opinion has some reason to consider the resignation of Count Waleweki, and M. Thonvenel's accession to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a proof that the policy of France is decidedly in conformity with the ideas developed in the cele brated pamphlet of ' The Pope and the Congress.' M. Thouvenel has had time at Constantinople to study and appreciate Austrian policy, against which he has frequently had to eon tend with success." A letter of the 31st ult. from Reggio states that M. Curletti, chief of the public safety in the pro vinces of Amilia, has arrested one Fontanelli, of Reggio, and a certain curate of the mountain of the Carpinetto aide, both of whom were conveying letters and documents seriously compromising the reap denary party of the Doke of Modena. They ware brought before the tribunal, where proceedings for the trial of these conspirators were being drawn up. The Opinions of the Bth says : General Fend, in the name of the troops of the astral Inane, and through the medium of his Excellency Boncom pool, Oovwaor-Oeasral of the Royal United Provisos', has seat to his ',Nasty: Winn Beentannel the eubjoined address : " On the 001:11/4011 of New Year's day I have the honour of presenting to his hisjoaty the homage of devotedness from the troops whom I command.

It must be confessed that the cabinet of Vienna is radishes a dekeipties of policy which would wake the fortune of the manager of any comic opera-house. Turned oat of Italy by the door, she has returned by the window • her soldiers crowed the Po In their white cloaks with th e double•headrd eagle on their shakos; they are now coming back again, with grey cloaks aad the Pops's cockade ; the nick is elegy, is de:tunas, but is It permitted!' This is the question. Filtrate letters from Vienna tarnish na with the minutest details of the recruiting. going on In Vienna, under the eyes of the Austrian government, for the Pa ttidad army. An Austria* petrel directs the operations ; they choose the best widens disbanded on account of the osducleg of their own army, and the most able tears whom services are now evadable, In consequence of the pesos. It is Jut ea if they had formed an auxiliary corps of the kilt* of their veteran troop., and transformed them by a mere change of uniform Into sa army of the Pope. In publishing this news, we base pointed oat the flagrant dlaloyalty of the government of Vienna, whion violates without see regarding appearances the first condition accepted by Austria at Villabanca, that of abstaining front all armed intervention. A despatch from Leghorn, mentioned below, in confirm ing this intelligenos, adds that these troops raised in Austria are naming the frontier by stole battalions, and era going to join the banners of the Papal army. Italy is moved by it, and the news that the King Victor Emmanuel hoe pro tested formally against this proceeding, which le too clever by half, and threatened to occupy the Legations with Pied namitese troops, is not at all improbable. We can only see in Austria's (redact an open violation at the engagements she contracted towards Francs at Villa franca. Vie conduct of the cabinet of Vienna oa this occasion is lot merely disloyal ; it entails serious dangers on shapers and on Austria herself. By breaking her weed Assails tears up the preliminaries of Whitman and the trimly of Zurich, and halter turn frees France from the engagements entered into by the Emperor Napoleon respecting the re storation of the dispossessed dukes and their reserved rights. We hold up to general reprobation this new act of Austrian policy, and believe that neither Frame nor England will tolerate thin strange mode of interpreting the trestle'. We now give the despatch alluded to above : (Private service of le Ara.) "I,;ghore, JEI. 6. - .

The Elberfeld Gazette publishes the following details of the speech delivered by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the Ist of January, to the generals and superior officers of the army : " The Priem) Regent dwelt emphatically on the accord prevailing between himself and all the I members of his ministry, especially the Minister of Finance, respecting the re-organisation of the army. He alluded at the lame time to the fact, that even his father, King Frederick William 111., had intended to introduce certain reforms in the military organisa tion, but that his intentions had met with obstacles in 00011* :ion with certain points now arresting the attention of the government. The rapid progress made (the Prince said) for several years past in the branches of industry and agriculture readers certain changes indispensable in the military organisation, calculated to remove all impediments from the path of industrial activity, and prevent the resources of the treasury from suffering even for a short period. Lastly, the Prince expressed the hope that the Diet during its next erasion would second his and his government's efforts for the realisation of those re forms the necessity of which should have been pre viously recognised."

TEE DECLARATION OP TSB ROMAN CATHOLIC LAITY. Si: John Simeon has addressed the following letter to Lord Petra, haring reference to the Declaration of the Catholio Lefty, which appeared in the Srprew a short time ago. "Bwalnetoo, Isle of Wight, Deo. 19, 1869. "Dear Lord Petre,—A copy of the Declaration of the Catholic Laity of Great Britain has been sent to me by post, and as your name stands at the head of Cho list of subscribers to the document, I trout that I am right in addressing my reply to TM. "I regret to find =yeti! differing in opinion from so many of my fellow catholic*, and were matters of but alight importance involved in the question at issue I would gladly content myself with tacitly withholding coy signature from the Declaration. I feel however, that such important principles are at stake that I should not be doing justice to myself if I did not briefly state the reasons which prevent ma from adding my name to your own, and those of the r d other noblemen and gentleman who have heady it. "1 he great obstaale which prevents me from Ting my humble sanction to any document of the kin however thationaly worded, I. the petnelple which it to ves—that the inhabitants of the Papal dominions stand in a diluent pesinon from that of the people of any other country, and are debarred from the right that has been practically con ceded to all other nations of chnigiog "r modifying their form of government according to their own view of their necessities, or their political predilections. "Now, to this theory It is impossible for me to subscribe. I can see nothing in the circumstances of their oath which, in my opinion, con justify a foreign intervention for the pur pose of compelling their submission to • form of government to which they may be disinclined. " Taking this broad, and to my mind indefeasible, prin ciple of justice as the beats of the argument, it becomes un necessary to go into the other questions which are raised by the Declaration; snob as the necessity of the temporal domf. Won of the Pope to the welfare of cethollo Christendom, the character of hie rule, or the means by which his authority has been shaken in the revolted provinces. " Still I would, with reference to these points, venture to say that I cannot in all impacts agree with you. • I feel a groat disinclination to any view which hu a tendency to confound the spiritual authority of the holy see with the temporal power of the Pope, sad I cannot but fear that a danger of such • confusion lurks in the projected movement. " Again, I cannot, as • liberal Englishman, honestly avow any feeling of sympathy with • despotism, however admin istered; and I cannot conceal my strong impression that the existing state of things at Rome and in the Romagna of itself affords a proof that the temporal administration of the Papal dominions has not been in all respects such as to instil an ardent attachment to it into the beans of those who have been subject to its role. " These are, however,matters which in no respect a ff ect the principle on which base may decision, and on which I feel bound to decline interfering In a question which, In my ophiloo, ought, like others of the same kind, to be left to he mottled between the governor and the governed. " Once more expressing my sincere regret at finding my self unable to agree with no many persons whose faith I share and whose opinions I highly respect, " I nimilo, dear Lord Petri, yours very sincerely, " The Lard Petro, &e."
