Telegraphic communication has been restored
between Sicily and Algeria. •
Extract from the letter of the special correspon-
dent of the Standard at Washington, dated May
24.—" The next monthly statement of the condition
of the Finance will show a very considerable increase
in the public debt, and this will be the order of
things for many months to come." On Thursday,
when this letter was published, the following tele-
gram appeared, dated New York, June 5 :—" The
monthly statement of the public debt of the United
States shows a small decrease." We presume that
the .Standard had both the fact and the fiction, but
it omitted to publish the fact, while it:published the
fiction. The value of the writer's predictions may
be seen when the prophecy and the event come to-
gether before the public. " The New York Herald,"
says this excellent authority, has " broken ground
for the repudiation of the public debt. It thinks
that as Mr. Davis has been liberated without trial,
we have practically admitted that the war was un-
necessary. If the war was unnecessary we ought
net to sustain the burden of the debt." Such an
argument might appear sound to the correspondent,
and it would be an admirable one for every spend-
thrift. There are few things on which money has
been squandered, which might not be proved to be
unnecessary, and this doctrine justifies the squanderer
in repudiating his liability. The hew York Herald
is generally able to advance better reasons for its
conclusions than the correspondent, in this case, has
discovered in its columns.

Roberts, the Fer.ian President, will soon be in
Europe ; but there appears to be a revival of the
Fenian excitement, previous to the calm which will
surely follow his departure. A Grand Council has
been called to deliberate upon another invasion of
Canada, and the Canadians apprehend an attack in
the neighbourhood of Collingwood. The Hon.
John Morrissey has had interviews with the Fenian
leaders. General Spear will command the invading
force. O'Connor has addressed a Fenian meeting
in Boston, at which General Spear presided. A
newspaper has appeared in Chicago as the organ of
the party, It is styled The Irish Republic,. and
professes to be a journal of liberty, literature, and
social progress.
It appears that Colonel J. P. Leese who recently
arrived at Washington had an interview with
Juarez at San Luis Potosi on the 23d April. Juarez
informed the Colonel that if Maximilian fell into the
hands of Escobedo nothing could save bis life. The
Patrie of Wednesday says that, from telegraphic
advices received in Paris, the Emperor was alive on
the 20th May, and it therefore discredits the report
that he had been captured and shot. Miramon
made a sally from Queretaro on the 6th May, when
an action followed, which lasted two hours. Mira-
mon returned to his lines, both sides claiming the
victory. The news from Vera Cruz of the 13th
May is that Chapultepek had been taken by storm
by the Republicans. The Diplomatic Corps are
stated to have suspended their relations with the
Imperial Government. The capital was bombarded
on the 3d May. Corona had been appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Liberal army, and he had
issued orders that no quarter should be shown to
the Imperial officers. Maximilian, Miramon, and
Marquez were, if captured, to be shot. It is fur-
ther stated that the Austrian and Belgia❑ corps of
the Imperial force bad been disbanded. The official
Evening Post at Venuia, on Thursday, says :
" Up to the present the rumour stating that the
worst fate had befallen the Emperor Maximilian
has not been confirmed by any despatch received by
the Austrian Minister at Washington. The fact
that no news being received justifies us in hoping
that the dreaded eventuality has not occurred."
It is reported by news from Rio de Janeiro, May
9, that the British Alinister is negociating a postal
treaty between Great Britain and Brazil, on the
base's of reciprocity and suppregion of the British
