THE SUN, LON-ON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1867.

His -wife, ;.t is said, refused to see him again, and
denounce, I him as a traitor. The lapse of time has
not, how ever, moderated the cruelty of the Mexican
rulers p 7 .o tem. They have doomed another victim,
Prince SALM-SALM, whose wife made so many
noble ei Torts for the rescue of her husband and his

liturerc T. The Congress was expected to meet in
Nove of aer, the Presidential election taking place a
mont' a later. JUAREZ has issued a long proclama-
tion, styling himself the " Constitutional President
of the, Mexican Republic." He rejoices over the
return. of the National Government to the capita
after four years' al,sence, and indulges in the usua
high-fiova language about the glorious achieve-
, merits of the Mexican people, and advises them now
to direct alt their efforts to obtain and consolidate
the benefits of peace. He warns them that the welfare
and prosperity of the nation can only be obtained
by an inviolable regard for the laws, and by an
obedience to the authorities chosen by the people.
If the Mexicans follow this advice it will certainly
be for the first time ; and the example of JUAREZ
himself has not been of a very pacific nature. But
in spite of his confidence boldly expressed, and in
spite of his cordial reception, we doubt whether the
Mexicans are yet prepared to settle down to pursue
the arts of peace, and to maintain civil rights and
social order.

At the close of the Parliamentary Session the
chief subject of anxiety in 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
for 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
time must be lost in seeing to the affair. Sir J.
PA KINGTON had a consultation with Captain
FADE, 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 are 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, whose honour is at stake in this unhappy
business. We are glad that so much despatch is to
be used, ant no doubt with due appliances it will
be found not imposzible 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.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PAP,IS, Monday Evening.

In spite of the re-assuring accounts published by
the Spanish Government, it is clear from the pri-
vate information 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 soire 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.
The Regiment of Navarre was compelled to retire
and General Manse 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 arc
able to maintain their position iu spite of the royalist
soldiers sent against them. Several engagements
have taken place, for all of which the Government,
of course, claim 3 the success. One fact speaks

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 au 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
underotanding between France and Austria as a cir-
cumstance which threatens to put an end to the
maintenance of peace. A similar tone is adopted
by the other Prussian journals.
In reference to these ruitours and arguments the
Siecle remarks :

"It is impossible to dissimulate that the ccn-
elusion of au alliance, having for object to inter-
fere in the internal affairs of Germany, would be
considered beyond the Rhine as direct a menace of
The abstention of INrurtemberg

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 awa:r 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 nieble.
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 arrested, and Jews cAn now go out of the
town without any fear of being molested.

Interesting news has been received in Paris from
the French colony of Senegal. According to
accounts from Goree, dated August sth, the im-
portant fact had become known of the death of
Maba, the famous Marabout, who, fur several years
past, has given FP much trouble, both to the French
and English troops in tbat locality. Recently
repulsed in his kingdom of Rip, 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 gttdden attack upon Maba's army while
he was drying his munitions, and completely routed
him. Maba 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 arc now deprived of their chief they will
disperse, and leave the people who re.3ido in the
country between Gore and the Casainance in tun-

quillity. Goree is aFrench port in the colony, under
the command of a superior French naval officer.
The King and Queen of Portugal returned to
Lisbon on the 19th. The next day aTe Deum was
chanted in the cathedral.
News from Haiti to the Gth inst. has been re-
ceived. in Paris to the effect that at this date the
power of the President Salna.ve was consolidated,
and that tranquillity was completely re-established
in the Island.

The Pope has appointed a committee of Cardinals
:o arrange the questions which are to be submitted
:0 the cEcumenical Council. Prominent among

those points will be, the maintenance of the temporal
power of the Pope, the necessity for which will be
supported by all possible means and arguments.
M. Barthelemy, the journalist who as a politician
WAS "everything by turns, and nothing long," died
on Saturday, which by a somewhat strange coin-
cidence was the anniversary of St. Bartholomew,
the day on which the terrible massacres of the Pro-
testants in France took place. Lie was boat At
Marseilles in 1718.

One often hears of " tremendous sacrifices" by
tradesmen for various reasons, chiefly of course for
the benefit of customers. At the shop of a boot-
maker in the Faubourg Montmartre there is now a
monster placard announcing that he is selling boots
and shoes at 25 per cent. under prime cost., in con-
sequence of his " departure for Mexico." Some
say that the adventurous disciple of St. Crispin
has an idea of offering himself as Emperor. If this
be so, considering the fate of the last Emperor,
both body and sole may be in danger.
At a wine shop in the same locality there is a
printed bill announcing that the proprietor, a man
named Solomon, has been fined 50 franc' for putting
water into his wine. his customers call the sen-
tence the judgment of Solomon.
The murderess Madame Frigard has been con-
veyed to the prison devoted to women at Clermont
(oi,e), where she is now attired iu the prison dress.
Women are here employed in dress making, manu-
facturing straw bonnets, and other suitable occu-
pations. They are classed according to capability,
and must execute a certain task daily. This prison
once formed part of the ancient chateau des seigneurs
of Nointel, and was built in the 11th century. All

that now remains of this federal fortress is the
dungeon, an enormous square tower of very lugu-
briou3 appearance, and its inhabitants are as it were
isolated from the rest of the world.
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 cafés 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 cafés 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.
He has engaged to pay 4f. a day for the right of
exclusively letting chain 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. The
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 are half-baked and saffocated, 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 everything 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, eILITHAM, AND DOVEB
RAIL IVAP.

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 tho 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. Peto's firm, and watch
the different other interests attached to the exten-
sion. It was at first resolved to take proceedings
against the Messrs. Peto, 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 rerources and get nothing, whereas

they had a heavy Parliamentary fight to encounter.
The Pecos had since gone into the bankruptcy
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,
to inform them that

ex-
tension of ten years, for up to the very last day the
committee had sat in the Lords he had adhered to

it. (Hear, hear.) Ile would move the following
resolution : " That this meeting thoroughly ap-
proves of the efforts made in behalf of the 13 and C
shareholders by the committee, and authorises them
to still further protect their interests."
This was seconded and carried.

The CHAU:MAN said that their Parliamentary
work had been expensive,
and he should propose
" that the committee make application to those
shareholders who had not paid their is. per cent. as
agreed to." _

—This was also carried nem. con.
After a vote of thanks to the chairman, the
meeting terminated.

TILE SPANISH INSURRECTION.
MADRID, August 27.

According to official despatches published here
it is believed that the rebel band of Prierot has
been dissolved, and that of Priorati has surrendered
to the authorities. The insurgents have disappeared
from the district of Valencia.
MADRID, August 24.

The civil Governor of the province has published
to-day the following official extract of the despatches
received at the Ministry of War :
" CATALONIA.-All the railways and telegraphic
lines are free. The column of Lieutenant-Colonel
Rodriguez defeated yesterday on the territory of
Tapis (Gerona), near the frontier, two bands of
rebels who were obliged to take refuge precipitately
in France. Numbers of insurgents have sur-
rendered.

" The Alcade of Llorona (Bozagodo) with volun-
teers has assisted 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 Lelonging to
this band, have been arrested by order of the
French authorities, and taken to the prison of Per-
pignan.

" VALENCIA.—Perfect tranquillity has reigned
here since the destruction of Carlet's band.
" Ann AGOS.—General Manso de Zuniga, nomi-
nated General-in-Chief of the forces on the Upper
Arragon, sot out from the capital on the 20th.
He 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
Hey.

"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 fella 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
not degenerated. The body of the brave General
Manse 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.
" Iu 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 Zuniga.
" The Queen will provide for the families of the
soldiers who have perished in these encounters. It
is her wish that the above bulletin and her royal
resolution be published as a general order of the
army for the information and satisfaction of the
t:oops."

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

PARIS, Aug. 27.

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

with eagerness the occasion of a national fete to
come and acquaint myself with your desire, and to
assure you that my solicitude for all the interests
of the country shall never fail you. 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 be
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 zrdent wish is to
put an end to all misery and alleviate all misfor-

;tines."

Despatches from Lille state that their Majesties
were received in that town with enthusiasm, and
passed through the streets and boulevards in an open

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.

Here is a striking living example :
" The Viceroy of Egypt came amongst us, and
he was received by young and old, the State arid
the people, with all the deference and respect duo
to his e.,:alted rank. He lived in an Imperial
palace, and Imperial honours were conferred on
him. Could he complain ? But ho did not eoulo
here a perfect barbarian, ignorant of our institu-
tions, laws, or language. On the contrary, he
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 °i
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
i
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 no."
turally hesitated and stammered. And then care°

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 (115;
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 Frill
did not posliess the slightest notion of a word, an
could not write a single European letter, and 11°
must have been at that time sixteen years of age 1•°
least. To each new comer, and especially to the
last, the old work to perform anew would have been
worthy of Ilercules himself.
" A young man endowed with a superior sense °I,
observation and consummate judgment was, at that
critical moment, recommended to him. Though nfo,
much older than the Prince himself, he enjoyed 111 i
advantage of a sound knowledge of the prince
European languages, and that of being a first.rate
elocutionist into the bargain.
4L Besides Arabic, the Prince knew the Court lair
guage par excellence—Persian.
