LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 24, 1866.

The arrival of the Asia from Halifax and Boston,
brings us news from New York to the 11th inst.
The accounts of the PRESIDENT'S reception during
his tour are of a very similar kind to those which we
had previously. There is the same vehement con-
flict of feeling, the same feeling on the part of the
populace, the same outrageous vindictiveness on
the part of the Radicals, carried, however, at
some places to an extreme which they have not
before reached. The Radicals have felt for some
time that their cause was becomiug desperate,
and . consequently are prepared to stop at
nothing. They have openly avowed their convic-
tion that blood will be shed, and have threatened
that riots will occur before long. They have already
begun to carry out these threats, and it is notice-
able that it has been in the West the greatest con-
fusion has prevailed. At Indianopolis, the capital
of Indiana, the PRESIDENT was welcomed by Gen.
MEREDITH on behalf of the citizens. He then began
to address a large crowd that had assembled round
the hotel, but was prevented from speaking by yell%
and groans, and shouts of "Traitor." Mr. JOHNSON,
upon this, very naturally retired from the balcony,
when the confusion increased and violence began, a
number of shots being fired, several persons wounded
and one man who was attempting to defend one of
the complimentary inscriptions shot dead. AI
Cincinnati the city council have refused, by a ma-
jority of three to one, to receive the Presidential
party. A number of prominent merchants have re-
solved to provide a suitable reception on their own
account. It is rumoured that the Radicals will
attempt to create a riot, being apparently deter-
mined to show themselves to the country in their
true colours. They do not attempt to disguise the
extravagance of their schemes, or the vindictiveness
and greed of their policy. One would imagine that
no rational man could dream for a moment of put-
ting such theories into practice, but THADDEUS
STEVENS, one of the recogrn.s. ed leaders of the Radi-
cals in Congress, deliberately announces the policy of
his party to be " territorial government in the
South, confiscation, and negro suffrage." On what
grounds he proposes to confiscate the lands in the
South he does not say. A year and a half ago the
war was closed, and the so-called rebel States have
every one expressed their readiness to acknowledge
the Central Government. What could the North
do more if they had maintained open disaffection ?
The sin of attempting to dissolve the Union is in their
eyesunpardon able, but they appear to be totally obli-
vious of the fact that they are themselves committing
it. That cannot be called a union of States in which
one part keeps the other part in enforced subjec-
tion, even supposing such a state of things to be
possible, which any one of the least acquaintance
with the facts must know it is not. But the Radi-
cals go on recklessly, heaping unmeasured abuse
upon the PRESIDENT, though,_ as he shrewdly
observed in one of his speeches, they are a little

puzzled when called upon to substantiate their ran-

dom accusations.

At St. Louis Mr. JOHNSON made a speech of some
length in his usual vigorous manner. His speech
may be rough and unpolished when compared with
the more reticent language of English statesmen,
however impassioned. But the PRESIDENT mea-
sures his words by his audience, and his plain, reso-
lute, and unspoken addresses carry weight with the
populace. He is remarkable for his courage, and
never troubles himself when anything he says is
evidently unpopular to retract or modify it. He
is ready at retort, and does not spare his opponents.
He knows what they say of him, and calls updn
them to prove what they say. He is asked why he

does not hang JEFFERSON Davis, and he asks, in
return, why he should not hang THADDEUS STEVENS,
since treason at one end of the line is as bad as at
another, and both have forsaken the Constitution.
He is plain enough in his accusations if the Radicals
are vague in theirs. They are, he says, endeavour-
ing to ingratiate themselves with the soldiers, but
what have they done for them ? They have given
him a bounty of $5O after two years' service, but
they have done something else for themselves.
" The patriotic young man who slept in the tented
field, and perilled his life and perhaps left his limbs
behind him, he can get $5O bounty if he has served
two years ; but the members of Congress, who never
smelt gunpowder, can get $4,000 extra pay."
Well might Mr. JOHNSON call this " a quaint pic-
ture ;" but it is very suggestive of the real motives
and intentions of theparty. As for the negroes, there
is equally good reason to suspect the professions of tke
Radicals in their favour, and Mr. JOIINSON plainly
declared his conviction that " the Freedmen's
Bureau was a simple proposition to transfer four
millions of slaves from their original owners to a
new set of taskmasters." Under this system he
added, those interested would work the shares, and
call on the Government to bear all the expenses,
and if there were any profits left they would pocket
them. This is, in fact, a very simple statement of
the case, and the Radicals may well fear to hear the
truth so plainly spoken.

It would really seem as if the Prussians would
never have done with their celebrations and triumphs.
Such a fuss as they make is quite absurd, and show
that they are quite resolved to make the most of
what has taken place without regard to sense or
propriety. A grand banquet took place at Berlin
on Saturday in honour of the return of the army,
and, of course, the occasion was seized for the dis-
play of the usual extravagance of speech that cha-
racterises the Prussians when discoursing upon their
own doings. The military representatives of Eng-
land, France, Italy, and Russia were present at the
banquet, and the KING made a speech concluding
with these words, "May peace be lasting, and of
equal benefit to the future of Prussia and Germany,"
proceeding with the usual palaver of the Father-
land and the people in arms. No term in modern
days is more twisted and turned to suit the con-
venience of the moment than this one of " Father-
land," and it will fairly puzzle any one to define its
exact meaning, especially of per the changes wrought
by the tactics of the Berlin authorities. In pursuance
of this scheme we find that the KING has addressed
a letter of thanks to the civic authOrities and popu-
lation of Berlin, in which he expresses his gratitude
for the " brilliant reception" which they have ac-
corded to the army ; and adds, " Such
moments as these unite more closely that which was
already united, and place the aims which we pursue
with a unanimous, persevering, and self-sacrificing
spirit—namely, the good of the fatherland in an
even clearer light." All this sounds very grand, but
when we come to analyse it we perceive that it con-
tains no truth whatever. As for what was united
before the war, it was not the KING and the
people, neither was it the KING and the Cham-
bers ; and as for the self-sacrificing spirit that is
mentioned in the royal letter, we do not see a
particle of it. The Prussians are giving up
just in order to further the selfish and grasping
aims of their rulers, very much on the same principle
that they did at the time of the Danish war, and

heuce it is quite out of character to write in this
strain. Those whom he addresses cannot be de-
ceived, and the world at large will quickly detect
the subterfuge, and appreciate the worth of the pro-
fessions.

It appears that the affairs of Saxony are still in
confusion, and that no settlement has been come to
on the point so long debated by the plenipotentiaries
at their preliminary conferences. It is asserted by the
Zeidler Correspondence, that it has been erroneously
given out that an understanding had been come to,
and that at the present moment no negotiations
whatever are being carried on with Saxony. If
this be true, it only proves what we have all along
suspected, thatthe agents of the Berlin Government
are trying to carry on a very desperate game, and
to undermine the independence of the little kingdom
altogether. it is really monstrous the way in which
these ruthless aggressors are carrying on their
game, and the perversity with which they
conduct their plans when but little is to
be gained shows their utter want of consideration,
and their little regard for treaties. Saxony has been
shamefully treated, and perhaps it has been one of
the worst features in the case, when we bear in
mind that a special stipulation was made in its
favour at the late treaty. Notwithstanding the
fact of the Emperor NAPOLEON having gone to
Biarritz considerable uncertainty still prevails re-
epecting his health, and, no doubt, BISMARCK
turns all thesefiurmises to his own advantage, and
it seems as it every chance conspired just now to
be in his favour.

Another proof of the great danger that ensues
from delays has been given in the case of the
Abyssinian captives. A most sad account of their
position
has reached us; and, indeed, we have some
reason to believe that they have by this time been
sacrificed to the fury of their fierce and relentless
captor. It appears that a battle was fought at the
end of July between the army ofl' THEODORE noEfontohne mostcand
the insurgents of Tigre and Choa, two
civilised provinces of that country. Unfortunately
it was supposed by the EMPEROR
that
English were implicated with the rebels,s thethey
were in constant communication with Aden, and
the insurgents drew armies and supplies from that
place. Mr. RASSAM has addressed a letter to the
Nice journal, in which he states on the authority
of one of his own colonists that THEODORE was
greatly enraged at the doubtful issue of the contest,
and having recognised the hand of the English on
the side of the insurgents, he, supposing his failure
to be due to them, had a fit of fury, of which none
around him remembered to have seen the like,
and which, says the letter, " made the whole
army tremble." Ire ordered the immediate
execution of all the captives excepting the women
and children. "All that we could do was imme-
diately to inform the EMPRESS," adds the informant.
Upon her resolution rested the only chance of safety
for the captives. She had authority, for she is
Regent ; but the question is, Was there time for
her to suspend the executions, and would she do so ?
If she had the courage all may yet be well, but
otherwise, long before this time liAssAM
,CAMERON,
STERN, and the rest will have been beheaded. Ili

will, indeed, be a dreadful thing after all
the hopes justly entertained of their release.
It shows, moreover, the exceeding folly of
leaving things to chance in the affairs of those who
are in the hands of despots. The late Government
mismanaged things very much in respect to these
prisoners, and offended the irascible THEODORE by
treating him with disrespect, while at the same
time they did not impress him with an idea
of their power so as to insure the proper treatment
of his captives. We hope that the worst has not
happened regarding these unfortunate victims of mis-
chance, and that their friends may yet see them return
to their native land to enjoy the blessing of freedom.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM FARM

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Sunday Evening.
The Empress and the Prince Imperial came to
meet the Emperor on his arrival at Biarritz. His
Majesty, who had been impatiently expected at
Biarritz for some days, was received with the ut-
most affection and cordiality by the population
and the numerous strangers now residing in the
town.

Her Majesty the Empress of Russia has sent to
the Princess Matilda the grand cordon and the
decoration in diamonds of the Order of Sainte
Catherine.
The Journal de Dresde says that the news given
by the Nouvelle Presse Libre of the conclusion of
peace between Prussia and Saxony is premature ;
but the official journal believes, nevertheless, that
the negotiations will have a favourable result.
The :Memorial Diplomatique says it learns "from
a source on which it places entire reliance that the
English Government has decided to devote a sum
of 20 million sterling to complete the armaments
of Great Britain both in regard to the fleet and the
army. The preparatory execution of the requisite
measures has commenced, and they will be actively
pursued during the interval which will elapse before
the meeting of Parliament. As soon as Parliament
shall assemble the Minister will submit the measures
he has in view for its sanction, and ask for a vote
of credit to carry them into execution. Lord Derby
is so determined to place England in a position to
meet any eventualities which may arise that rather
than renounce the object he has in view he will
dissolve Parliament." Be this announcement well
or ill-founded, the Paris papers do not seem to think
it worth much attention. Sometimes startling news
respecting England is, however, known at Paris be-
fore it transpires in London.
The vintage has commenced in the Maconnais,
not under favourable auspices, but from the upset-,
tled state of the weather cultivators fear that by
delaying the vintage time will be still worse. For-
merly there was a prohibition against the com-
mencement of the vintage until a certain day, just
as shooting is forbidden until the reign of St.
Partridge, the first of September. The prohibition
was called Ban des Vendanges. Now cultivators
may begin to make wine when they like. The vin-
tage is an important epoch in France, and no won-
der that some French writers now employ themselves
with erudite researches upon the subject. They
tell us that the wine originally came from Persia,
that Caesar in his Commentaries speaks of the wine of
Campo Forti, and that in ancient times vines were
trained against cathedrals. Rabelais, they say,
was a great drinker; at least his epitaph records,
" Here lies the man who drank every day as long
as he lived." Modern French authors have culti-
vated vines. Paul Louis Courrier had a vineyard,
and Lamartine has one now. In France two mil-
lions of hectares are planted with vines, which pro-
duce 40 million hectolitres of wine. This wine
produces 500 millions of francs. Of this amount
no less than the sum of 80 millions of francs is paid
to the Government in the shape of duty.
The works for levelling the heights of Trocadero
at Passy have led to the discovery of a quarry of
stone of the peculiar kind used for sharpening
razors, and for lithography. A lithographic artist
by chance took up a piece of the stone, which he has
polished, and it is found perfectly applicable to
lithographic printing. Near this spot there was
formerly a marble quarry. It is proposed to work
the quarry now discovered.
A trial for poisoning of a terrible character is
about to take place at the Court of Assize of the
Deux Sevres. The accused is charged with poison-
ing four persons, Pierre Reau, his brother-in-law,
who died in 1853, Marie Jeanne Reau, his first
wife, Julie Bontemps, his second wife, and Adele
Reau, his daughter by that wife. All these persons
died with vomitings and convulsions, particularly
the second wife, Julie Bontemps. The bodies were
exhumed, and traces of poison, salt of mercury,
were discovered. Circumstances led to the belief
that all these murders were committed by the same
person; and suspicion pointed to the prisoner. It
was known that he had conceived a violent hatred
against his brother-in-law. The prisoner had also
obtained wills in his favour from both his wives,
and the motive for the murder of the child of the
second wife was that she would have inherited some
of her mother's property. It appears that by the
French law, as one of the murders was committed
more than ten years ago, there is prescription, and
no proceedings can be taken in reference to it, but
the prisoner will be tried on the charge of com-
mitting the three other murdep.
The Jews of Paris keep their great religious
fete—the Feast of Pardons--very devoutly. This
fete, in Hebrew Biom-ki-pour, commenced on Wed-
nesday last. On that day the localities leading to
the two great synagogues, one on the Rue Notre
Dame de Nazareth, the other on the Rue Lamar-
tine, were almost blocked up with the faithful pro-
ceeding to public worship. The' Jewish population
of Paris is estimated at 30,000. The fete is cele-
brated according to the Mosaic law by singing,
prayers, and particularly by a rigorims fast for 25i
hours. The venerable rabbis went in procession to
the synagogues in the usual ceremonial costume

including the ephod, or tunic. Eight days after
this fete is that of the Roch-Achanah, the renewal
of the Jewish year.

The accident to Adelina, belonging to M. Bal-
chin, at the Chantilly races, arose in this way. Soon
after starting for the fourth race she threw her
jockey (Smith), leaped the barriers, and ran full
gallop into the town, falling with great violence
against the shop of M. Gilquin, a wine merchant.

Smith, although much shaken, was able to go home
without assistance. Adelina was so much injured
that it was thought necessary to kill her. She was

hurt with the broken panes of a window against
which she dashed.

Four young men went out shooting a day or two
ago near Poissy. Not meeting with any game they
amused themselves by throwing an apple into the
air to shoot at. The gun of one of the young men
went off accidentally, and shot his companion, who
was near to him. The unfortunate young man died
in hour in the arms of his friends. The victim
has a situation in the office of the Bridges and
Highways.

A steam carriage has been driven from Nantes to
Paris on the highway, drawing several other car-
riages. It is stated that carriages on a similar
principle will shortly circulate in Paris. It is like
an ordinary hackney coach, with the boiler in front,
with a fifth wheel, by which the movement will be
directed in any way with great speed.

It was stated that M. B. Maria, who has just died
at Nice in his 84th year, was the last surviving
Frenchman who was at the battle of Trafalgar. Ile

was surgeon on board the Formidable. AL Grand-
- •

valet writes to the editor of a Paris paper, that he

and his comrade, both of whom were at that battle,

are now alive and well at the Invalides. The French

ship which suffered the most severely was the Re-
doubtable. Out of 643 men, in two hours 522 were

hors de combat. It is a remarkable fact, and perhaps
not generally known, that the three Admirals who

commanded all perished.

Our own Nelson fell

while " doing his duty." The Spanish Admiral
the Duke de Gravina died from the wounds he re-

ceived at the battle in 1806. The French Admiral

Villerende committed suicide in despair for having
been vanquished. M. Maria was taken prisoner at
the battle, which took place on the 21st of October,
