We are constantly hearing of one scheme after another, of one plan arising es another disappears, and thus a state of perpetual change and unrest prevails. Rumour has been rife concerning the meaning of the meeting of the two Etnpuors at Salzburg, and scarcely have they parted, and things is that place assumed their wonted aspect, than expectation is again excited, and that in a contrary direction.

The lapse of time has that neither are they inclined to allow the execution of no t, - however, moderated the cruelty of the Mexican the most moderate plan, and one determined to do nil era pro tem. They have doomed another victim, something from precaution. According to the Pr irce SAL3I-SALINI, whose wife made so many Temps of last night, it seems that a counter- nr;blE• efforts for the rescue of her husband and his demonstration is to be effected to the meeting Emperor. The Congress was expected to meet in which has taken place between the two Emperors Nove tuber, the Presidential election taking place a l at Salzburg, and arrangements are on foot for an mont h later. JUAREZ has issued a long proclama interview between the Sovereigns of Prussia, Ba- tion, styling himself the " Constitutional President varia, \Vurtembnrg, Baden, and Hesse-Darmstadt, of 'he Mexican Republic." He rejoices over the to be held at Baden on the sixth of September, or retina of the National Government to the capita thereabouts. This is very likely to be true, for it aft er four years al'sence, and indulges in the 113U.1 seems exactly to represent the course most akin to nigh-flown language about the glorious achieve- Prussian policy. It is not likely that any result sue its of the Mexican people, and advises them now favourable to her ends will be gained by this means, to direct all their efforts to obtai❑ and consolidate however, for we all know how faithlessly she keeps the benefits of peace. He warns them that the welfare the promises that necessity has wrung from her, and prosperity of the nation can only be obtained or that expediency induces her to make at divers by an inviolable regard for the laws, and by an times. Those who appear and are represented at obedience to the authorities chosen by the people. this meeting at Baden must be simple indeed if they If the Mexicans follow this advice it will certainly put aoy faith in the professions they may hear. be for the first time; and the example of JUAREZ Who can believe a Power that will not keep to the himself has not been of a very pacific nature. But conditions that appear in signed treaties ? What in spite of his confidence boldly expressed, and in is all this outcry now raised about but because it spite of his cordial reception, we doubt whether the is supposed or inferred that France and Austria are Mexicans are yet prepared to settle down to pursue desirous of enforcing the stipulations entered into the arts of peace, and to maintain civil rights and at Prague.? It was thought by many that this said social order. Treaty conferred only too much power and too many advantages on Prussia, but it appears now that she will be offended if any attempt is made to keep her fixed to the regulations then and there made. At the close of the Parliamentary Session the chief subject of anxiety iu all quarters was that of the Abyssinian captives, and although the public have not now such facile opportunities afforded to them of receiving information, still the interest is as fresh as ever in the matter, and all intelligence will attract attention. It will give satisfaction to know that the preparations have actually begun for the Abyssinian campaign, and that instructions have been received from the War Departments fur the departments in the Woolwich Arsensal to attend to the arrangements for furnishing the ex pedition, which is to be despatched from India with the least possible dely. From all the various ac counts it seems that the universal opinion is that no With every desire for peace on the part of France, and every horror for war on that of Austria, it is not likely that those Powers can readily submit to the direct violation of that treaty. It is now be lieved in Paris that the chief thing decided upon in the recent conferences has been that Prussia should not be allowed to extend her power and influence beyond tphe river Maine, and if this be strictly true, the union between the north and south provinces, so earnestly desired by Prussia, will not take place. It may doubtless be a dangerous game for Austria to play to support France ; but, then, the risk is not too much when we consider the consequences of being left to the tender mercies of Prussia. It would be a fatal mistake on the part of the Vienna Government to give up the position of Austria as a first-rate Power, and sink down among the crowd of secondary States no more to rise into her former significance. The policy of the French accords time must be lost in seeing to the affair. Sir J. PAKINGTON had a consultation with Captain EADE, the Superintendent of the Military Stores, and it was arranged that the matter must be pushed forward with as little delay as possible. This is very satisfactory to hear of, because the affair was becoming an awkward one, and caused great doubt and disquietude in many directions. We arc: aware that many whose opinion is worthy of consideration are under the impression that any expedition will be of no use, but the general belief is in favour of trying some thing, be it ever so venturous and uncertain. It will never do for things to go on as they are, and the sooner some decisive step is taken the better for the sufferers themselves, the credit of the Government, and the interests of the country, whcse honour is at stake in this unhappy business. We are glad that so much despatch is to be used, and no doubt with due appliances it will be found not impos,ible to bring the affair to a satisfactory issue, but at any rate if we do our duty we shall not have to reproach ourselves, however much we may lament the turn affairs may take ; while, if success crowns our efforts there will be every reason to congratulate ourselves upon the spirit that decided upon the adoption of a bold line of policy. just - now with the interests of Austria, and it has yet to be proved that all those States of Germany not already subject to Prussian influence will at once determine upon supporting King WIL LIAM and his Minister. The best and the safest way will be for the EMPERORS who met the other day to keep their counsel and watch events, so as to be ready, when occasion calls, to resist undue encroachments on the part of the crafty schemers of Berlin, and to maintain, as far as possible, that equilibrium of power which can alone secure the peace of Europe and the welfare of the nations collectively. It would seem from the news brought by the America from New York on the loth inst. that the admission of General Grant into the Cabinet is likely to be favourable to the interests of the South in more ways than one. The suspension of Mr. STANTON must Laterally have been hailed with the liveliest satisfaction by all who really desired the pacification of the country, an end perfectly unat tainable under the STANTON rrginzc. Now that General GRANT has assumed the direction of the military department there is hope of a change in the political barometer. It is no longer the object of the Secretary of War to foment discontent and to stir up if possible a fresh rebell:on. General GRANT knows something of the character of the Southern people, their wants, their sufferings, their heroism. A brave and tried soldier him self, he knows them for " foemen worthy of his steel," and can appreciate something of the spirit which animated LEE and his associates in maintaining their desperate struggle. It is not surprising, remembering this, to find that General GRANT has been advocating in the Cabinet the adoption of a more liberal reconstruction policy, and no doubt his words will have a weight which would belong to no others. Although inclining to the Republicans rather than to the Democrats he has never been identified with the Radical party, and, should he succeed in his candid.ature for the Presidency, it will be from the votes and influence of the moderate men, not of the extreme and intole rant demagogues. His appointment to the vacant office of Mr. STANTON has been thought by some likely to prejudice his chauc:s, but there are yet many months to elapse before Mr. JOHN SON'S tenure of office is over, and many changes may occur before that strong hand resigns the reins. If Mr. JOHNSON can get a firm and unani mous support from his Cabinet, he will probably be able, under the changed aspect of public feeling, to organise a totally different policy. The rumours of the probable removal and resignation in the Go vernment are denied, and the Cabinet is reported to be harmonious. Already the effect of the change is apparent. General SlcELEs,who has been obstruct ing in every possible way the process of the civil courts in North Carolina, has received a peremptory order directing him not to oppose but to support those courts. The other military commanders in the South being no longer able to shelter themselves under the well known wishes of the War Secretary will be henceforth more scrupulous in invading the civil liberties of the unhappy Southerners. For the most part they have abused their power in this respect, as was perhaps to have been expected. They have endeavoured in every way to discredit and subvert the civil authorities, and where they have not absolutely overthrown them they have assumed an imperious direction of their conduct. Thus General POPE has ordered tte civil officers in his district to give public advertisements to those journals which favour the Reconstruction Act, a trifle in itself, but indicative of the spirit which animates the district commanders. General SHERIDAN'S career as a Southern ruler has come to an end, and not too soon. The reckless exercise of his power in remov ing the municipal officers throughout his dominions, and the insubordination, not to say insolence, which he has been guilty of towards the PRESIDENT, rendered his removal imperative, if anything like discipline was to be kept up. llut'i parties continue to indulge in charges and counter-charges of the most serious nature. Politi-al recrimination between opposing parties in ins of great excitement is only to be expected, but it speaks ill fur the tone of American public feeling that such charges as perjury, conspiracy, and murder should be for a moment tolerated with out substantial proof against . men holding high positi ins in the State and the Congress. From Mexico the news we have is impor tant. According to adviees received from Vera Cruz to the 31st of July, JUAREZ had entered the capital, where he had received an enthusiastic welcome. It is said that MARQUEZ has b3en captured, and LOPEZ, the traitor and betrayer of Queretaro, has been assa&inated. Whether this be true or no, it is certain that even in Mexico his crime has brought upon !lira indelible disgrace. quillity.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF LONDON. NEW Youx, Aug. 17, Morning. General Pope has removed all civil officers in Macon County, Alabama. The white police in Mobile refuse to serve under negro officers, and are resigning. The registration is completed in Louisiana. 45,000 whites and 83,000 negroes have been re gistered. The registration in Georgia was nearly com pleted. The whites were slightly ahead. _ _ Yellow fever was increasing in Texas. Thirty deaths occurred daily in Galveston. Violent rain storms have greatly damaged pro perty throughout the country. The Fenia❑ panic in Chicago yesterday ended in a general fight. For the last day or two visitors to the Exhibition have seen an innovation which has led to much in convenience, and indeed something like consterna tion. All the chairs in front of the caNs and other establishments where people used to enjoy them selves with creature comforts and in looking at passers-by have been taken away. The simple fact is that a M. Bernard paid a large sum for the right of letting out chairs in the park, and on an appeal to a court of law the tribunal has decided that the chairs on the outside of the cahis formed an in fringement of his right. M. Bernard claims from the restaurateurs two francs a day and by chair— that is to say, 60,000 f. a month from those who have 1,000 chairs, and 420,000 f. for the season. Ile has engaged to pay 4f. a day for the right of exclusively letting chairs in the park outside of the Exhibition for the whole seven months of the season. The price he claims from the restaurateurs would in two days pay the whole sum which he con tracted to pay to the Imperial Commission. T " affair has created a good deal of excitement, but the chief point is very simple. M. Bernard bought a certain privilege ; surely that privilege ought not to be infringed. The state of affairs for the moment is not pleasant. You must either go inside the cafes, where you aro half-baked and suffocated, if you want to sit down, or pay five sous for a chair. It should be stated, however, that there are many free and comfortable seats in various parts of the Exhibition. The Imperial Commission in this re spect, as in all others, has done everyt hin g possible for the comfort and convenience of visitors. The weather continues intensely hot, but people will flock in crowds to the Exhibition in spite of it. The park is like a Paradise.

LONDON, CHATILI3I, AND DOVEa RAILW _ll7l A meeting of the B and C shareholders of the Metropolitan Extension of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway took place this morning at the London Tavern —Mr. Warter in the chair—to hear the report of the committee appointed to investigate into and protect the interests of this section of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN said that they had called them together on that occasion in order that the B and C shareholders might hear what had been accomplished by the committee since the 10th January, when they were elected. At that meeting it was resolved that the committee should be formed for the protection of the interests of the B and C share holders, to sustain the claim of the B and C shareholders against Sir M. Veto's firm, and watch the diffcr_nt other interests attached to the exten sion. It was at first resolved to take proceedings against the Messrs. Veto, but so far from their being likely to pay 20s. in the pound, and then retiring on a handsome fortune, he had heard from various sources that they would pay nothing like it, and therefore if they obtained a verdict they would only exhaust their resources and get nothing, whereas ruY fight to encounter. to the bankruptcy they The had Petosa heavy had s P io a e r e lia g n o ie h n e ta i court. The Chairman then went into a detail as to the technicalities which had to be gone through in passing a bill to obtain a grant and an extension, and said that he was happy to inform them that they had obtained an amount of £600,000, and au interval of ten years to pay off their debts, and he had no doubt that at the expiration of that time the company would be in a prosperous condition. (Hear, hear.) They had to thank him for the ex tension of ten years, for up to the very last day the committee had sat iu the Lords he had adhered to it. (hear, hear.) Ile would move the following resolution : g , That this meeting thoroughly ap proves of the efforts made in behalf of the B and C shareholders by the committee, and authorises them to still further protect their interests." " The Alcade of Llorona (Bozagodo) with volun teers has a6aisted the carabiniers in defeating the insurgents. Volunteers of the province of Girone and of the civil guard of Torella have taken some prisoners, amongst whom are four Frenchmen, who had escaped from the prison of Ceret (France). Fernando Pierrad Roger, and 27 men telonging to this band, have been arrested by order of the French authorities, and taken to the prison of Per- pign an . " VALENCIA.—Perfect tranquillity has reigned here since the destruction of Cadet's band. " ARRAGOg.—General Manso de Zuniga, nomi nated General-in-Chief of the forces on the Upper Arragon, set out from the capital on the 20th. lie arrived at Saragossa on the 21st. in his im patient ardour to place himself at the head of his troops, who had already been on the march for some days past, and without duly considering the enemies he might meet on his way, he left Sara gossa on the 21st with a small column of 250 chasseurs of Ciudad-Rodrigo and 30 Cavaliers del Rey. This was seconded and carried. The CHAIRMAN said that their Parliamentary work had been expensive, and ho should propose " that the committee make application to those shareholders who had not paid their ls. per cent. as agreed to." This was also carried Win. con. After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the meeting terminated. "Yesterday afternoon they encountered at Linas de Marcuello the combined factions of the ex- Generals Pierrad and De Moriones, 1,200 strong. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm which ani mated his troops, he resolutely attacked the position occupied by the rebels, and after a fusillade of two hours' duration dislodged them at the point of the bayonet. The small detachment of cavalry at the same time charged with fury, and followed the rebels almost to the gates of the town. The firing continued until the ammunition being exhausted on both sides, Manso's troops formed in column and quietly awaited the enemy, who for an hour and a half hesitated to attack them. Night coming on the column en camped at Ayerbe, where it halted, intending to continue its march towards Huesca this morning. The rebels have retired to Zacca, having lost 50 men killed, besides three officers and a great num ber wounded. " The column lost, besides General Manso de Zuniga, who fell a victim to his ardour, one captain and one lieutenant wounded, 13 soldiers killed and , wounded. " The conduct of the troop has been beyond all praise. The Spanish army has shown itself a worthy inheritor of its traditional glories. It has cot degenerated. The body of the brave General Manso was immediately removed from the field of battle by his son and his aide-de-camp, who con veyed it to the camp of Huesca, where they arrived at 7 in the evening. " In the rest of the Peninsula perfect tranquillity prevails. The Queen, upon being informed of these details, has deigned to reward the services of the troops engaged in the pursuit of the insur gents in Catalonia, Valencia, and Arragon, and notably the soldiers of the column commanded by General Manso de Z uniga. ' " The Queen will provide for the families of the soldiers who have perished iu these encounters. It is her wish that the above bulletin and her royal reso;ution be published as a general order of the army for the informatien and satisfaction of the troops." FRANCE. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

The Emperor Napoleo . n during his journey to Lille, to be present at the fltes to be held in that city in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of its annexation to France, passed through Arrast yesterday. Tho following is his Majesty's reply to an address from the Major of that city : " With pleasure I lied myself once more among you after so long a lapse of time.

You are right to have confidence in the future. It is only weak Governments who seek in foreign complications to divert attention ',from troubles at home. But he who derives his strength from the great body of the nation has only to do his duty and to satisfy the interests of the country, and while holding aloft the national flag we should not allow ourselves to bt.l drawn away by intemperate impulses, however patriotic they may be. I thank you for the senti ments you have expressed towards the Empress and our son. Be assured that they share my devotion for France, and that their most ardent wish is to put an end to all misery and alleviate all misfor tunes." Despatches from Lille state that their Majesties were received in that town with enthusiasm, and passed through the streets and boulevards in an open carriage. The following is the sense of his Majesty's reply to the address of the Mayor of that town : " It is now fourteen years ago, when shortly after my marriage and the commencement of my reign, I was received here in a manner which will al ways be remembered by me. I have constantly sought to make France prosperous and respected. If there have been some dark spots, France has nevertheless again resumed her place in Europe. I hope to obtain the co-operation of every one in con solidating the work begun."

Under the above title the Bermuda Royal Gazette of the 23rd ult. has the following comments upon a lecture previously announced in the subjoined terms, in the impression of the Bermuda Mirror of the 20th ult.:-- On Thursday evening last the spacious hall of the Mechanics' Building was again filled with a highly intelligent auditory ; on this occasion to listen to the Honourable Aliles Gerald Leon, Colonial Secre tary, who, on invitation, had kindly prepared a lec ture to be delivered on behalf of the funds of the " Bermuda Mechanics' Association." The subject chosen for the occasion by Mr. Leon was " Government—its source ; its forms ; and its means." We are unable to furnish extracts from this in structive and entertaining discourse, and we feel that any attempt on our part to give an outline of that brilliant mental feast of humour, wit, and sar casm, would end but in a miserable failure to con vey the smallest idea of the reality of the thing. We therefore shall not attempt it. It should have been heard to be appreciated. 'f he hon. gentleman is certainly the best orator we ever had the pleasure of listening to. Ideas flash into his mind with great rapidity, and with equal force and quickness his large mind seizes them, and clothes or surrounds them with choice and beautiful language for presentation to his hearers. To bor row from the language of another great mind—his discourse was full of conceptions, points of epigram, and witticisms. The subject chosen for the lecture was so exten sive that the lecturer found time would not permit of his getting through with more than a third of what he had prepared, and as he pleasantly remarked, if he continued to the end his hearers would " not go home till morning." We understood him to say that it would afford him much pleasure to finish the subject on some future day. Poeta nascitur.—Orator fit. We never, three days afterwards, remarks the Bermuda Royal Gazette—We never could admit this saying as truth in its latter division. We grant that training and practice may do a great deal in perfecting oratory, but a man to shine in vi loquendi must have an inborn bias arid genius for rhetorical outpouring. We remember, indeed, in our earlier years, a talented young man, who was known and admired for his speeches at convivial meetings, but who told us that two or three years previously he could not have spoken five words in public. But feeling that it was necessary for the profession into which he had entered— the legal profession—that he should possess the faculty of speaking in public, he had bent the ener gies of his mind to that object. He rose iu life after wards, and was in the House of Commons ; and, though we cannot conceive of him, knowing him as we did, that he ever attained to any very lofty and impassioned flights of oratory, yet, being a very learned man and an elegant scholar, he always commanded attention. It was said of him that he was never known to repeat a word. He finally became Lord Chancellor of England. V N lr te. To. -v471 ki vv.. Jim Jar. HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL, Aug. 2G. The Queen, accompanied by the members of the Royal family, attended Divine service yesterday at Crathie Church. --- s The Marquis and Marchioness of Hastings have left the St. George's Hotel. The Earl and Countess of Rosse and Lord Oxmantown arrived on Saturday last at Bier Castle, Par soutown, King's County, fur the season. Lord and Lady Charles B. Percy returned to Guy's Cliff, Warwickshire, at the close of the past week from Aluwick Castle, Northumberland. Lord Courteuay, M.P., is among the arrivals at Brighton. Lady Emily Drummond and Miss Drummond returned to Tile House, Denham, Bucks, from Alnwiek Castle, last week. We hear that Colonel the lion. Henry C. Lowther, M.P., is suffering from indisposition, but not of a serious nature. Lady Franklin, widow of the lamented Arctic explorer, has, according to the Cherbourg journals, arrived in that town on board a United States frigate from NeW York. The removal of the remains of the late lamented Lady Panmure from Paris to their final resting place in Mr. Power's vault, at Kensall-green Cemetery, took place on Saturday. On the coffin was the following inscription: —"Elizabeth, Lady Panmure, born the 19th Jan., 1799; died the 25th of June, 1867." The Early Years of the Viceroy of Egypt• The following extract, from the leading French journal, we take from the Observer of last Sunday : " Roses have their thorns, and all that glitters is not always pure gold. Don't envy princes, and much less their teachers. 4. Here is a striking living example : " The Viceroy of Egypt came amongst us, and he was received by young and old, the State and the people, with all the deference and respect duo to his exalted rank. He lived in an Imperial palace, and Imperial honours were conferred on him. Could he complain? But he did not come here a perfect barbarian, ignorant of our institu tions, laws, or language. On the contrary, be spoke French fluently, with a good accent, and is said to know other European languages besides. He seems to have studied French manners, and France has always been his model, in private and public life. Let us thank him in the name of our glorious country, the mother of civilisation in the east and west. "But to whom does he owe that knowledge of European languages ? To whom his very elocu tion? Verily, not to the men of -the east, nor to his own countrymen. From his early childhood his pronunciation has been exceedingly bad, and so rapidly followed the words in his native tongue, and so indistinct was the language he used, that even Arabs must have had great difficulty to follow or even always to understand him. His speech being sometimes like the rush of the Niagara, and as rapid as lightning—who could ever follow it ?—he na turally hesitated and stammered. And then came the Egyptian Ophthalmy, and our Prince was nearly blind. " Is there still a man bold enough to undertake the least enviable occupation of a teacher under such distressing circumstances ? " To be sure there is. " Thirty or forty teachers, more or less known in Europe for their great ability and perseverance , tried it. The rather lively, impatient Prince dis liked them all, and in a few hours, after repeated futile attempts, Prince Ismael knew as much as ever before, and both master and pupil gave up their task in despair. We mean to say, when the last master had made his French compliment, the Prince did not possess the slightest notion of a word, and could not write a single European letter, and be must have been at that time sixteen years of age at least. To each new miler, and especially to the last, the old work to perform anew would have been worthy of Hercules himself. " A young man endowed with a superior sense of observation and consummate judgment was, at that critical moment, recommended to him. Though not much older than the Prince himself, he enjoyed the advantage of a sound knowledge of the principal European languages, and that of being a first •rate elocutionist into the bargain. " Besides Arabic, the Prince knew the Court law' guage par excellence—Persian. " Day after day, without one single exception, a ll working and holidays, for many, many a weal, month, six to eight hours a day, poor Dr. Altschul (well-known at the time as .a very successful teaeber of Elocution and modern Languages of Paris, se a now of Old Bond-street, London) has had nc it merely to speak, but rather to scream, to make 11 4 ' 1 " self understood by his illustrious scholar. "In consequence of the Prince's very bad sigh t ! the Professor had to invent a sort of portable and moveable alphabet, and teach him in some re spects just as blind people are taught, and having had some experience in imparting knoll ledge to the deaf and dumb, he was of course a great deal more successful than any of the other learned all ( ' by far older gentlemen who preceded him. The sam e sentence, aye, even the same word or syllable, b° had to repeat, or rather to ruminate a hundrea times over. • " In fact, he could all along merely, we may sal exclusively, appeal to his ear and natural combina" tion. But still, as soon as his sight, under the car ° of eminent European oculists, improved, the Prince learned how to write and combine European letters; then arithmetic, &c. ; in fact, he slowly acquired the desirable accomplishments of a western educ e ' tion. The Professor must, therefore, have ha d more than enough on his hands. " And then for Elocution. Never had Egyptia n taskmaster such a task to perform ! Prince,' we hear him sometimes in our imagination exclaim, losing his naturally amiable temper, and inna t ; and long-tried patience, 'lsmaes Bey, are you dea d What are you about ?' And again and again rite Professor begins the whole anew, until, despite hi i youth, natural strength, and uncommon /flora energy, he falls down exhausted and faint. " Ambition and the strong desire of not being sot easily beaten by any obstacle, be it ever so gr eat ' and the Prince's natural talents have still 113° quished all—and Ismael Pasha is now, in spite that fatal natural tendency of speaking too fast, 23 1;. °, only a good linguist, but also, comparatively sP e° ing, a first rate elocutionist. " But, as we have said from the begin uil3g ; 'Never envy princes, and much less their V' teachers!' " This is only one indeed among other instances we could adduce of what industry and perseverance can effect in this department of mental exertion. Still we adhere to our opinion that an Orator is not altogether made. lie must have a natural gift, in some degree at least. He must possess, like the Poet, an innate turn, " a special taste and tact, which art may develope, but can never implant." And as we have now quoted M. Bautain in his ela borate work on extempore speaking we would strengthen our position by making another excerpt from said work—longer and more distinct to the purpose. " School precepts may teach a manner, a certain mechanical skill in elocution, but can never impart the sacred fire which makes speech live, nor those animated, delicate, just feelings of an excited or impassioned soul and of a mind convinced, which grasps on the instant the peculiarity of expres sion and of voice which are most appropriate." Our readers, we opine, will easily guess to what we are drifting in this prefatorial—and we at once say that our remarks have a reference to the lion. M. G. Leon and his admired lecture on last Thurs day evening at the Mechanics beautiful hall in this town. 'We think that he was a conspicuous proof of what we have here ventured to advance. Ile showed himself an orator by nature, and though he exhibited to his credit much that was in accord ance with the art, 3et he exhibited also a great deal that was far above the art, of extempore speaking, especially in the last part of his lecture, which was truly an outburst of unsurpassed and unsurpassable eloquence ; and we cannot but congratulate the excellent president, officers, and members of the association that they have met with so powerful an advocate of their most useful and promising institution. The fecundial faculty, however, may be reckoned among the least of Mr. Leon's mental endowments. Adorned with scholarship, widely and accurately versed in history, ancient and modern, and otker branches of literature, abstrusely metaphysical but correctively logical, and at the same time imagina tive, he cannot but be attractive in his composi tions and utterances. No wonder then that his lecture was listened to with the deepest attention by a very large audience MARKETS.—This day. HAY.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Panis, Monday Evening. In spite of the re-assuring accounts published by the Spanish Government, it is clear from the pri vate informatio❑ received in Paris that the insur rection is spreading in Spain. The whole kingdom has been placed under a state of siege. The revolu tionists have been defeated upon some points, but in other places they have obtained marked success. It is reported that General Pierrad has been driven back to the French frontier, but the Liberal insur gents of Arragon have obtained a signal success. Phe Regiment of Navarre was compelled to retire and General Manso de Zuniga killed. This victory of the revolutionists will probably lead to grave consequences, and there is little doubt that one con sequence of it will be a rising en masse of the whole of the Liberal province of Arragon, which has long panted to obtain relief from despotism and oppres sion. In Catalonia most of the armed bands are able to maintain their position in spite of the royalist soldiers sent against them. Several engagements have taken place, for all of which the Government, of course, claims the success. One fact speaks strongly for the alarm and anxiety of the Govern ment. The mail from Barcelona does not bring either journals or letters, so it is pretty sure that the Government has nothing favourable to tell about Catalonia. The papers continue to give various versions in reference to supposed arrangements made by the two Emperors at Salzburg. Whatever may be the amount of truth which they contain, they have led to an almost general impression in Paris that they are the prelude to important events. The Gazette of Northern Germany, the organ of M. Bismark, refers to the reports circulated by the Paris papers, and characterises the idea of a private understanding between France and Austria as a cir cumstance which threatens to put au end to the maintenance of peace. A similar tone is adopted by the other Prussian journals. In reference to these rum )urs and arguments the Siccle remarks : "It is impossible to dissimulate that the con clusion of an alliance, having for object to inter fere iu the internal affairs of Germany, would be considered beyond the Rhine as direct a menace of war as possible. The abstention of Wurtemberg and Bavaria, which were represented as ready to throw themselves into the arms of France and Austria, has excited particular remark. Whether from prudence or from German patriotism, the Governments of those two States have abstained from taking any step which might be considered unfavourable to the policy of Prussia. Many politicians consider that the situation of Austria ought to inspire the Emperor Francis Joseph with great caution and reserve. If Austria were to go to war she would risk even her existence for the vain hope of resuming a preponderance in Germany, which circumstances have taken away from her. France could go to war even against a coalition without endangering her national existence or the integrity of her territory. Austria would run the risk of disappearing in the midst of such a - Melee. The Emperor and Empress left Paris this morn ing for Lille in order to be present at the coming splendid fetes there. The Moniteur states that the disorders which took place at Tetuan have not been renewed, thanks to the energetic measures adopted by the new Government. Several of the assassins have been arrestcl, and Jews cto now go out of the town without any fear of being molested. luteresting news has been received in Paris from the French colony of Senegal. According to accounts from Gorec, dated August sth, the im portant fact had become known of the death of Alaba, the famous Marabout, who, f)r several years past, has given so much trouble, both to the French anti English troops in that locality. Recsmtly repulsed in his king lam of Itip, he returned and attacked the French ally, the King of Sine, but, surprised by a violent tornado, all his powder became wet. Informed of this fact, the King of Sine made a snd len attack upon Maba's army while he was drying his munitions, and completely routed him. 2.laba was made prisoner and beheaded. The King of Sine sent his head and foot to Goree as a proof of his death. It is to be presumed that as the bands are now deprived of their chief they will disperse, and leave the people who resida in the country between Goree and the Casamance in tran- The Traitor Lopez• The New York Tribune prints a letter which gi l l the following details of the assassination of 1 - 4e-7 who betrayed Maximilian : i; I arrived here to-day and learned the startlinbge news of the assassination of the traitor Lopez. particulars of the assassination are as folles v liis Lopez was stopping at a hotel in Puebla, wh ere wife spurned him from her presence. E arl/ ° lf morning a Mexican arrived and familiarised bilrisci, with a hostler in a livery stable adjoining the h °te o t General Miguel Lopez was inquired for , but 1131 being in the stranger was told that th e g ener a would be at dinner.

No one interfered, or prevented the ss . r io , from leaving. Thus was the blood of Maxi inl i , e o, Miramon, Mejia—yes, and thousands of others, avenged."
