FRANKFORT, AUIUBT 90.
_

The report of the Congress was brought up to-
day, and the establishment of the protocol will take
place iu the course of the week.
It is asserted that Baden has hitherto maintained
an entirely negative attitude towards the proposi-
tions for reform.

Upon the 28th inst. Count Rechberg issued a cir-
cular to the German sovereigns urgently recom-
mending the acceptance of the reform project
en bloc.

U• the night of the 28th an Austrian memo
-madam was banded direct to the Princes.
The memorandum declares that at the final vote
upon the Reform Act Austria can only admit
acceptance or rejection. The sole reserves per-
missible relate to the acquiescence of Prussia and
the assent of the respective Chambers.
In yesterday's sitting of the Congress a proposal,
made by Mecklenburg Schwerin, to submit the
entire transactions to Prussia for the expression al
an opinion, was referred to • sub-committee after
an animated debate.

The quesidon of the Directorate was solved in
accordance with the proposal of Barony and Nassau.
The fifth member is to be nominated by Baden,
the two Hesses, Lauenbing, the two Macklen-
burp, Nassau, and Brunswick. The relative
weight of the votes to be in accordance with the
full sittings of the Federal Diet. Unanimity to be
requisite in changes of the constitution.
The final vote of the Congress will take place to-
morrow.

CARLEIBUHF, AUGUST 30.
The Carisruher Zeitung of to-day says :—"lt is
already certain that the views to wbicb the Princes
at Frankfort incline, and which will finally find
collective expression, deviate too widely from the
principles entertained by the Grand Duke for him
to be able to express his assent.
" This difference of opinion, however, does not
exclude Baden from participating in the Confe-
rences of ministers to follow the Congress of the
Princes."

AMERICA.

The Raleigh (North Carolina) Standard contains
a long article, said to be the joint production of
Hon. R. 8. Donnell, formerly member of Congress
from the eseond district of North Carolina, now
the Speaker of the House of Commons of that
State, and Hon. F. B. Satterthwaite, the presi-
dent of the governor's council of that State, and
published with the approval of Governor Vance.
It arraigns the Southern leaders for their com-
mencement of the war upon insufficient grounds,
and charges them with being the authors of all the
pending difficulties, and with having brought them
on against the reason and the convictions of the
people of the Southern Statue. It also acknow-
ledges that in prosecuting the war the Federal
government has done no more than it could have
been expected to do ; and, finally, proposes to send
commissioners to Washington to arrange terms of
negotiations for peaoe. The document is regarded
as a semi-official exposition of the views of the
government of North Carolina, and as indicating
that the authorities as well as the people of that
State are for an abatement of the rebellion and a
return to the original status of the State in the
Union.

seventeen large steamers lad recently arrived at
that port, having run the blockade, loaded with

The following is General Dix's address, announc-
ing the time of commencement of the draft in
New York :

Illiskaarters Department of the East, New York
City, August 17.

To the Citizens of New York.—The draft of men in
this city to repleoith the maks of the army, is order j
to complete more speedily the suppressionof the
insorrectioa is the South, having, in consequence of
forcible resistance to the executive of the law, been
placed under my directions, se commanding °Meer of the I
forms of the United States in this military department, I j
have thought it net out of place to presetto you some rug-
gestic= far year comidsration, as friends of the Union and
of the good order =society.
The law ander Phi= the draft is to he mad* is for enroll.
tag and daisy eat the asthma fame. It is foetid= on the
principle that every cities, who eajoye the protection ef
the goverment, and looks to it for the security of his pro. '
Arty sad his life, may be celled out to mairoos of greet
paid% danger to tits up Inns for the ociasmon defiant No
political society can be held together =leas this principle Is I
acknowledged as one to which the government may have
procures when its existence is in peril. , titers is po girths= 1
country in which it is not recognised.
The law authorising the drnft has be= persistently called I
a conscription law by those who desire to make
it *dims and defeat its execution. It is in no pest sere a
coascription like that which was put in force in the sixth '
year of the French republic, and abandoned on the tuatara. j
tioa of the Bourbons ea mom= of its oppressive exactioos.
It is a simple law for enrolling acid calling into the • service
the arms-bssrhig population of certain ages' and differs in
so esseatial principle tram the law authorising the militia
to he nand oat ; excepting that io the latter ease complete
organieatiosi are brought into the field. The object j I
of the very provisions of the law which are most
beneficial to individuals, has beea most grossly
perverted. If a drafted roan bade it inommenienit ;
to serve, he is allowed to furnish a substitute;
or to porolime his exemption tram service by paying the
smalls= sum of money for which substitutes are ordinarily
obtained. Both these provisions have the same purpose, to
provide for mass of hardship, and if either were stricken out
them cases woald be proportionably inatiored in number.
The draft about to be made is for one-fifth part of all per-
moos between 20 and 33 years of age, and of the unmarried
between 35 and 45. The entire clam believes 18 and
36 was bog since drafted in the Breed= States,
and the draft has recently been extended to imbruee nearly
the whole arms-bearing population. Compared with the
burtheo they are sustaining, ours is as nothing. The con- I
test on our part is to defend our natimality, to up-
hold the institutions under the protection of which
we have lived and prospered, and to preserve un-
tarnished the mood memorise of our history, brief,
it is true, hot foil of high achievements in seism*,
is art, and in are.. Shall we, in such • OMNI, shrink from
labours end morifices which our oneguidsd brethren is the
seceded States are sustaining in the cause of trees= and
social disorgauisatioo ? For the honour of New York let
• la. care that the history of this refugia:is,
more vast than any which has ever coevals= a nation, shall
contain nothing tome= oar children blush for the patriotism
of their fathers. Whatever objection there may be to the
law authorising the draft, whatever defects it may have, it
is the law of the land, and IfilliM•3100 to it is revolt against
the mastituted authorities of the country. If one law CM
be set at defiance say other any be, and the (=adagio= of
all government may be broken up. Those who, in the
history of political societies, have been the first to rat them-
selves up against the law, have bees the sweet victims of
the disorder which they have created.
The poor have a far deeper interest in maintaiiiing the
inviolability of the law than the rich. Property, through
the means it can command, is power. But the only
security for those who have little more than life
and the labour of their own hands to protect, lies in the
supremacy of the law. On them and on those who are de-
pendent on them, social disorder falls with fatal effect.

The coottitutiMiality of the law authorisiog the draft has
bees disputed. Near the close of the year 1814, when the
eocatry was engaged is war with Great Britain, • similar
law was moosiroended to congress by the government to
draft men to 811 the ranks of the army, which was gallantly
battling, as our armies are now, foe the nation's honour
and life. Madison, one of the great expounders of
emseliketios, which he took a prominent port in framing,
wee President. Monroe, his saceemor, thee eating,
both as Sears of State sad Secretary of War, addreseed
to the Howe cif tativee a lucid argument is support
lof the right of congress to peen such a law. Alexander J.
Dallas was Secretary of the Treasury ; Mr. Jams, Secretary
' of the Navy ; Return J. Wigs, Pentameter Omani • and
' Richard Raah, Attorney-GeneraL The measure could sot
well have received a higher party sanction. All laws ceased
with the established lnialative forms are valid until de-
clared otherwise by judicial tribunals of competent juris-
diction. What would become of a people in critical emu.-
geodes if no law conk' be curial into *Pot until it bad
Pam tb• ordeal of the Parte or if irate or mankirol
authorkina could aroma its execution by calling in
peados ifs goof ormity to the proviaioos of the constitution?
The Presidest his promptly consented to have it tested by
judicial interpretation but while the cat of victory is
moviag es, sad treason is flying before it, God forbid that
the SrM of New York or its constituted authorities should
attempt to stay its program astil the judicial proems can
coasummated.

The accuracyol the enrolment in the city districts his
I been impeached, and a revisitsn wee immediately ordered
by the President, on a representation from the governor
of the State. But u the men are needed fur Immo-
diets sorrier., and as the correction of the returns requires
time, the quota was ordered to be reduced in all the dis-
tricts—in some more than half the whole amount, leaving
the account for future adjustmaut. The reduction in the
quota exceeds in proportion the alleged ascots of the
enrolment, so that no personal injustice can possibly occur.
Under these circumstances, no good cities° will army
himself, either by word or deed, against the (bah. Sub-
mission to the law in seasons of tranquillity is alwaye the
highest of political duties. But, when the existence of the
government is in peril, he who resats its authority commits
a crime of the deepest turpitude. He is the volantin7 in-
@transept of the., who Ole seeking to overthrow it, and
becomes himself a public enemy. Moreover, resistance to
the government by those who are Krieg under.its protection,
and are indebted to it for the daily Wave of their property
sad their lives, Imo not ems the palliation ander which those
who hod the lesurrection at the South auk to shelter thew
selves—that they ius acting under oolour of authoriderived

thus combine to re.emact the scenes of musty and devarta-
tion by which thin city has mouth beim diahmoured, and
to defeat by force of arms the execution of the paramount
law of camper, they will be treated u enemies of the
country and of mankind. Retureing among

position, harlot no feeling but to see her good name pre-

your umentemed avocations while the draft is
in progress. Should these suggestions be dig.

to disturb the public peace, to break down the berrieted
which the law has set up for the security of property and
life, sod to defeat the execution of a law which it is my

government, and that the first exhibitions of disorder or
violeoce will be rut by the most prompt and vigorous mea-
sures for their repression.

The alto York Herald of the 20th observes :
"There dill lingers a strong feeliog to opens the draft,

The municipality doss nothing to relieve, and a desperate
redstance is sot unlikely."
The Herald is surprised at the unfrisedly spirit exhibited
by iresideut Lincoln towards New York is persevering in
the Gawps( out of the draft which he knows is so odious
to the people.
It imomms a strange requital for ',relies nadorad to the
war by New York to now wattle* risk its drielnation for
a mare idea of no practical value to the government, but
on the contrary highly injurious to its nos unarm& The
Conscription Act is a milletone around the sack of the ad-
ministration, which will be sure to drag it down to political
perdition."
The New York Tribune considers the draft
simply as an assertion of the right of the Republic
to live' and says "If government bad LO power
to oompel military service it would be too weak to
maintain a stable and permanent existence."
The correspondent of the Herald, writing from
Charleston, Ibth inst., says :

bardments, interfering with the Federal operation at the.
extreme front. The story of the capture of 600Casiedenite
soldiers on the hated in the rear of Folly Island led re

distrust is caused by the general impression that proper

is due to Beauregard to soy that the people await for the

The inadequate deletion of Charleston are partly due to the
South Carolina planters not replying promptly to the calls
of General Beanregard for negroes to work on the defences ;
and after more titan two years' preparation. the enemy is
knocking at the very gates of the city, and Charleston is
not ready. The goverour states that the planters prefer to

counsels of the Confederate generals, sod the valour of

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, fiverizar.

No one has visited Newcastle, or approached it,

Few who have known anything of London society
during the last ten years can be ignorant of the
name of Mr.Woottse. There was no more fashion-

of the Institution whether Mr. WOOLLEY or the

little mysterious. Before b• was five-and-twenty
he must have been a clerk, a translator of French,
a member of a dramatic) company, and a familiar
friend of the well-known Mr. Ramarrr, if not a
waiter or man-of-all-work in his employ. But
fortunately be fell in with a Miss Cotes, who had
35,0001., and he married her. Property of his own
he had none, except • house in Curzon-street,
which he sold ; but he had a pension for
society, furniture, and the fine arts, and no sooner
was he married than he began to indulge it. He
obtained possession of Campden-house, which,
although somewhat dilapidated, was admirably
fitted for embellishment. With his wife's fortune
and the aid of his sister, who possessed a fortune of
35,0001., he converted the old house into a
palace. He ransacked all the curiosity-shops, be
bought all aorta of pictures and curious china, and
indeed on one occasion he actually purchaaed
an estate in Essex in order to take out • quantity
of ancient carved wood which he fitted up in
his new house. This estate, after he bad taken
from it what he wanted, was sold at • loss of 4001.
He kept his own carpenter, a man TIMM; and
his carver and gilder, TIMBRELL, in his own
house, and it is said that not less than 50,000/.
had been expended in ornamenting this resi-
dence. In short, Mr. WOOLLEY was a rococo
enthusiast, and inspired others with the same
passion. He not only spent his time in
selecting various articles of furniture, but himself,
his sister-in-law, Miss Coars, his brother-
in-law, Captain COAPE, and his butler,
Caonza spent their time in varnishing
the carved wood, mending the tapestry, and
polishing the sideboards. Devotion to art and
social life never fads to obtain its reward, even
in this country ; and therefore it is not surprising
that even the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE should have
condescended to cross Mr. WOOLLEY'S threshold,
or that the notorious Colonel WAUGH should fume
thought it judicious to step into Mr. Woounr's
place when he retired for a season, and carry on
the same splendid round of festivities.

cam be no matter of surprise that the jury
found so little difficulty in coming to a con-
clusion in favour of Mr. Wootair, and against the
insurance offices.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, SUNDAY Evionso.

Contrary to general expectation, the Monifsur
does not publish M. Drouyn de Lhuys' last
despatch to Russia ; and, as if wishing to contradict
the reiterated statements that the ministerial couidic
held yesterday would be of capital importance, it
merely mentions the fact of its assembling in small
I print, and under the head of Fads divers. The
explanation of this lies in the fact that the council
after deliberating an unusually long time, broke up
*About coming to any conclusion. It sat from ;
shortly after a 10 o'clock breakfast till 4in the
afternoon, and was then adjourned till to-morrow
(Monday).
It appears to be certain that Russia is about to
meet the three diplomatic notes, not by a paper
reply, but by the grant of a constitution (!) to be
equally applicable to Russia and Poland. Of
I course submission on the part of the Poles will be
a preliminary condition to the participation in the
benefit of the new constitution ; but it is ex-
tremely likely that the concession will contain a.
great deal more than the six points, and com-
pletely take the wind out of the sails of the diplo-
matista. The France, the Temps, and the Prase'
all allude to this news as being the great event of
the day. The Prease, which was laughed at for
speaking of a " free Poland in a free Russia,"
now triumphs. It says positively that Russia
will not answer the three notes otherwise
than by a great act which will put a
short end to all diplomatic discussion.
There is no doubt that the low ground taken by
the three powers leaves it open to Russia to satisfy
their demands without in reality doing anything
that the Polish insurgents would desire. They, in
all probability, have no alternative but submission
or extermination.

The Prance talks of the possibility of an entente
cordials between Prussia atd France, with • view
to make an alliance with Russia. Russia, we are
told, is " irritated " against Austria and " excited"
against England, and M. de Goltz has "suddenly"
come to Paris to see whether the Frankfort Con-
gress, which is looked upon with suspicion by
France, may not be the means of uniting in • owl-
mon understanding the three truly paternal govern-
ments of Russia, France, and Prussia.
The Pays is instructed to deny very positively
not only that any protest against the events in
Mexico has been delivered in Paris by Mr. Dayton,
but that any verbal or written objections have been
made at Washington by M. Mercier. The force of
this denial is, however, weakened by an appended
agreement striving to prove that the government
of Washington wuuld have no right to protest. All
this is evidently surplusage, if, in point of fact, the
United States do make no objection to the project
of a Mexican empire. The arguments of the Pays,
like those of its fellow labourer, the Conslitutionael,
consist merely in this—that the Mexican people
have, " in the most absolute freedom and indepen-
dence," declared that they want to have an Em-
peror, and that it is a self-evident proposition that
• republic, though good for Anglo-Saxons, does not
snit the Latin race.

I cannot help smiling at the simplicity of the
public in accepting as authentic sensation news
invariably served up by the weekly journals the
Courier du Dimandte and the Winona! Diploma-
tique. Not only is it a matter of fact that these
journals, whose paragraphs always put money into
the treasury of the telegraph companies, have no
exclusive sources of information, but there is every
presumption against their news being important.
Ministers and ambassadors who wish to make com-
munications to the press will naturally take the
speediest means of obtaining publicity, and choose
for their organ a daily paper rather than one which
only comes out once a week. The specialty of a
weekly paper is evidently to publish leading
articles on current topics more carefully
composed than those which are always
written in a hurry for the press ; but here
the weeklies think it incumbent upon them to
make a feature of startling news, and, as the course
of events does not furnish more important intelli-
gence on Saturday night than on other days of the
week, it follows that these papers, generally speak-
ing, humbug the public. Their flawing paragraphs,
when not absolutely false, are at beet clever con-

which the rest of the world are in ignorance of is
almost always the merest charlatanism.
