Mr. Seward. The object of this despatch, as I LATEST INTELLIGENOF.
alleged, is to request the Government of the United
States to support the demand formally made by (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
England for the restitution of the body of the Em-
peror that it may be interred with appropriate
funeral honours at Vienna. The Queen is also said
to have addressed an autograph letter to the Pre-
sident of the United States urging him to take
steps to enforce the accomplishment of this desire.
All that emanates from the Emperor excites atten-
tion and admiration throughout France. Tho
Constitutionncl, remarking upon his Majesty's gem
of a letter to M. Rouher, says :—" If power has
bitternes for a Minister, whose eloquence, good
sense, and patriotism make him fearless of any ad-
versary, it has also its consolations when thete is
upon the throne a Sovereign who loves tdent,
becausl he can appreciate it better than any one,
nd who is the best judge of services rendered to
France, because no one understands better the
double cause of the public prosperity and the
national greatness."
There is a calm in politics, but violent elemental
strife. The weather to-day has been very stormy,
with abundance of heavy rain, and the barometer
indicates tempest.
The 111oizitcur, speaking of Lopez, said, " A man,
we dare not say a colonel." Upon this a witty
writer in one of the Paris papers remarks that the
expression should have been in a contrary sense—
"A colonel, we dare not say a man."
Miramon, one of the three victims of the treason
of Lopez, about a year ago was living in Paris, in
the Faubourg St. Germain, with his wife and his
four children, the eldest of whom was not more
than ten. He was of short stature, about three
and thirty, and of such juvenile appearance that he
did not look more than five and twenty. Upon his
arrival in Mexico Maximilian sent Miramon to
Europe, under the pretext of intrusting him with a
mission, but, in fact, he wanted to get rid of the
young General, whose connection with the clerical
party formed an embarrassment for the throne of
Mexico. Miramon was a man of elegant manners,
a mild and agreeable countenance, and, unlike most
of his countrymen, very simple in his dress. Ile
seldom spoke, and was an admirer of the Chinese
doctrine, " Silence is gold." One evening, how-
ever, after dinner, the conversation turned upon
some alleged atrocity of Marquez, when Miramon
said, " I am not his friend, but I should have acted
just as he did," and argued at length, with a view
to prove that it was wrong to look upon Mexican
events with European aspect. Some one dissented,
upon which Miramon said, " I don't think I am
cruel, but I have sometimes been compelled
to act with energy
which you seem to think ex-
cessive." He then
proceeded to say that the
sub-officers of one of the regiments which he com-
manded, having exhibited symptoms of mutiny,
he went up to the mutineers, revolver in hand,
and fired upon the whole lot. " What," said one
of the guests, " without saying take care, or
allowing them to give explanation ?" " That
would have been loss of time," replied Miramon.
" Besides, soldiers would not hare understood an
explanation between an officer and his subordi-
nates." This he said very quietly, and without
the least emotion, with his cigar in his mouth aid
a smile upon his countenance.
The Spaniards now resident at Rome have pre-
sented an affectionate and energetic address to the
Pope, in which they say that they depose at the
foot of his throne their pens, their sacrifices, their
interests, their blood, and their lives. They protest
against the attempts to deprive his Holiness of his
temporal power. In conclusion, they say they " will
never cease to pray for the continuance of his Holi-
ness in occupation of the Papal See of Rome, where
he was placed by Divine Providence to be the model
of Kings and the pacificator of nations."
The Emperor and Empress have received at the
Tuileries 11.11.11. the Prince of Orange to take leave,
as he is about to quit Paris. Their Majesties have
also received King Louis the First of Bavaria, who
is come here incognito as Count de Spessart.
The trial of Berezoweki, for attempting to assas-
sinate the Emperor Alexander, commenced to-day
before the Court of Assize for the Seine, and I need
scarcely say that great excitement prevailed. No-
thing of particular importance occurred up to the
hour of post.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, July 16.

Yesterday, in the Chamber of Deputies, the
debate upon the interpellation of Signor Ferrari,
relative to the appointment of Bishops and the late
negotiations with Rome, was resumed.
Several Deputies moved votes of censure on the
conduct of the late Ministry, declaring null and
void all acts opposed to the national laws and pre-
rogatives, which they considered had been violated
by the late Ministry in the nominations of bishops
and other concessions made to Rome.
Signor Rattazzi pointed out that the acts of the
former Administration could not be considered null
and void. He assured the Chamber, however, that
the present Ministry would make no further nomi-
nation of bishops.

Several motions were then brought forward, in-
cluding one to pass to the order of the day. This
proposal was opposed by Signor Rattazzi, who said
that were it to be agreed to no opinion would be
elicited from the majority upon the weighty ques-
tions which had been raised.

Baron Ricasoli, the President of the late Ministry,
justified the policy he had pursued, the aim of which
he declared was to prove to Europe that the Italian
Government, desiring to go to Rome by moral
means, had given the Pope guarantees for the abso-
lute independence of the Church.
The motion to pass to the simple order of the day
was lost by 231 against 116 votes, ten members re-
fraining from voting.
Signor Mancini then moved the following order
of the day :—That the Chamber, recording the de-
clarations of the Government that, without a
special law, nothing can be initiated to the
prejudice of the rights and prerogatives of
the civil power in ecclesiastical matters, and
taking note that the Ministry will preserve
intact the rights of the State and the dignity
of the nation, pass to the order of the day. This
motion was agreed to by Signor Rattazzi, who,
however, deprecated the interpretation attached to
it by the members of the Left. Several Deputies
also announced that it met with their approval in
the form proposed, as they did not consider it
contained any censure upon the conduct of Baron
Ricasoli. The first portion of Signor Mancini's
proposed order of the day was adopted unani-
mously, and the second portion by 192 against 93
votes, 21 members abstaining from voting.

TILE BELGIANS VISIT TO CREMORNE

GAR DENS.

The preparations at the above gardens for the
Belgian dinner and fete have been for sonic time
making on a most liberal scale. Up to yesterday
large bodies of workmen were employed in covering

Theatre should be devoted to the purposes of
hospitality. In a. few hours this at all times hand-
some theatre, with its gallery, balcony, and stage,
was converted into a splendid banqueting hall,
each pillar, arch, and compartment being made
subservient to Mr. Smith's plan of decoration,
English, Turkish, French, and
which consisted of thousands of flpral wreaths,
bouquets, and baskets starting from every point,
could be hang, and extending
which were interspersed

with numerous Chinese lanthorns.
The tables were laid for 1,700, the large stage
being reserved for the officers of the various corps
and their immediate friends. This portion of the
theatre was an object of great admiration, the
gorgeous wings of the burlesque scenery having a
very brilliant effect from the happy combination of
colour with the artificial flowers, bouquets, and
wreaths. At half-past six o'clock the friendly
invaders of Cremorne took possession of the well-
stored tables, which were literally loaded, not only
with the roast beef of Old England, but with the
more dainty dishes of lamb, poultry, and raised
pies, followed by an ample supply of pastry, con-
fectionery, and fruit. After doing ample justice to
Mr. Smith's liberality, and treating with cheers,

remembered by the Belgians with gratitude, and by
the English with feelings of pride and pleasure.

GOLD COAST.©Convention between her Ma-
jesty and the King of the Netherlands for an interchange
of territory on the West Coast of Africa
was signed at Lon-
don on the sth of March, and the ratifications wore ex-
changed on the sth inst. The Convention recites that the
interchange would conduce to the mutual advantage of the
two Powers, and would promote the interests of the inha-
bitants of the territory. Her Majesty cedes to the King of
the Netherlands all British forts, possessions, and rights of
sovereignty or jurisdiction which she po sesses on the Gold
Coast to the westward of the mouth of the Sweet River
where their respective territories are conterminous ; and the
King of the Netherlands makes a like cession to her Majesty
of Netherlands forts, possessions, and rights of sovereignty
or jurisdiction to the eastward of the mouth of the Sweet
River. The tariff to be enforced after the Ist of January,
1868, in the possession of the two Powers upon the Gold
Coast imposes a 3
Per cent. ad valorem duty on the invoice
price of all goods except beer, wine, spirits, tobacco, gun-
powder, and firearms, for which specific duties are provided.
If the Customs' officers consider the value of goods declared
by the masters of vessels insufficient, they are to be at
liberty to take the goods on public account, paying to the
importer the amount of his valuation, with the addition of
10 per cent thereon.
