T Gov. SEwARD's SPEECH, settini

II Gov. SEwARD's SPEECH, setting
forth the nature the history and the justice
of the Claims of American Citizens on our
Government for French Spoliations prior to
1900, appears in our columns this morning.
We ask our readers to study it thought
fully, for the treatment of these Claims in
wolves the honesty, and therefore the honor,
of our Country. 1t seems to us impossible
that an upright man should really under
stand the grounds and character of those
Claims, yet vote against paying them-and
yet New-York supplies one vote against
them, and thus stands neutralized in the
Senate. Our space is to-day so occupied
and more than occupied, that we can only
urge our readers to consider we'll this
Speech. If they do not find it lucid for
chile, convincing, their Judgment must dit
fer widely from ours.

DELAwARE-AR Opposition Senator.-
Hon. JAMES A. BAYARD, Opposition, was
yesterday chosen U. S. Senator for six
years ensuing, by the Legislature of Della
ware, having tloo majority. His father, of
similar name, was a Representative in
Congress from 1897 to 1903, and Senator
from 1904 to 1918, when we think he re-
signed to go to Europe as one of the Pleni-
potentiaries to negotiate Treaty of Peace
with Great Britain. His brother, Richard
H. Bayard, (Whig,) was U. S. Senator
from 1886 to 1889, and again from 1871 to
1645. He has recently been appointed
Charge to Belgium.
Mr.. J. A. Bayard, the new Senator, is
gentleman of ability and character, and will
fill the post with dignity and suavity. He
owes his success TO two causes, the more
immediate being the nomination of Tenn
perance Ticket in Delaware last Fall, upon
which about four hundred votes were
thrown away, and nearly every one Wing
vote. This diversion has enabled the mi
nority to choose the Governor, Legislature
and U. S. Senator. Have we not reason
for our dislike of third parties ,!
But deeper cause has been for some
years undermining the Wing ascendancy
in Delaware-namely, Slavery. The mass
of the Wings are we'll known to favor
Emancipation, and bill providing for il
was lost few years since by a single Wing
voting with all the Loco Focos against it.
The Slaveholding interest, like every other
inveterste abuse and iniquity, takes shelter
under the guns of the Democratic citadel.
Thus Sussex County - which contains
nearly all the Slaves in the State and is
farthest away from cities, news papers and
other civilizing inhuences-wss formerly
the Wing stronghold of the State, and is
now that of the Opposition. No other
County gave clear Loco FOco majority in
'46 or so. Such lanes are long, but there
comes a turn in them at last. Delaware is
decidedly Wing to-day, and we presume
Mr.. Bayard knows it.

GERMANY.

In regard to the German question, though there
are many probable and improbable rumors,
nothing is actually known. The purposes OF the
Conferences at Dresden being scrupulOusy Sc
cret, which it is judged is not favorable augury.
The tone of triumph which pervades the bearing
of Prince Schwarzenberg, and the growing hos
tilities of the Chambers at Berlin, which met on
the Sd inst are also named as evidences Of an I'M
satisfactory state Of the negotiations. AT the
latest dates 18th inst Prince Schwarzenberg' s
mission to Vienna is stated to have failed of its
intended object. The Emperor OF Austria and
the King Of Prussia have agreed to meet at Dres-
den about the middle of the month.
The Commissioners to arrange the difficulties
between the Duchies had arrived at Rensburg,
and at the latest date had given the authorities
three days to consider what course they would
pursue. Meantime the Government and the Peo-
pies Representatives in Wurtemburg are at log
gerheads upon the subject Of voting the supplies,
and there appears to be a probability that a
second edition of the Hesse Cassel affair will
finally be enacted in that small territory.

FRANCE.
Reclamation of the Ministry.

Great excitement had prevailed at Paris during
the week in consequence OF the resignation en-
7nasse of the Ministry. This was caused part by
the open hostility Of the President toward Gen.
Chanearnier, who, in defiance Of the earnest pro-
testation ofthe Ministry was given permission on
the instant, and by decided majority, to justify
his conduct before the Assembly.
Both the Right and the Left warmly appauded
the General, when the Ministry abruptly with
drew, and with equal abruptness resigned In
body.
The President experienced great difficulty in
the formation of new cabinet, NJ. Barrot having
refused to accept office.
This state Of things continued for nearly week
when, as we learn, from Telegraph dispatch,
dated Paris, Friday evening, kindly furnished by
Capt. Luce, that the MoHiteur appeared with the
Presidents speech, and the official announcement
of Drouyn de pRuys for Foreign Affairs, and
General Raymous des Jean de Angey, for the
War Office, with new appointments also of
Ministers of Marine, Public Works and Commerce
Another decree signed by the Ministers OF the
Interior and of War is published, and revoked the
decree by which the National Guard and the
troop of the First Division were united under one
command. The effect of this decree is to abolish
the post heretofore held by General Changarnler
Gen. Perriot takes command OF the National
Guard, and the troops of the First Division are TO
be commanded by Gen. paraguay d Hitler. de
enters upon his duty by general orders to the
army Of Paris, in which he explains the object OF
his mission, and states that he will maintain the
discipline which his predecessors had established.
He also states that he will uphold the authority
established by the Constitution, and give his ener-
getie support to the execution of the laws.
postscript to the dispatch, under date,
o'clock states that motion had been made in the
Assembly to their bureaux to wave commission
10 prepare resolutions expressive of the Legisla-
ture in regard to recent events, which motion was
carried against the active opposition of the Min
istry, by vote Of $50 to 253. Great confusion is
said TO have prevailed in the assembly after the
declaration of the vote.

Had the House

% r. THE EMPIRE STATE, according to
the Census Returns of 1850, now nearly
complete, contained Population on the
1st of June last of nearly if not quite
300, OOO-an increase of about $4,000,
or over 25 per cent. during the last ten
years. The current estimate of $4,000 as
the new Ratio of Representation in the
House would give her 80 Members hence
forth-a loss of t,oo. We are inclined to
believe, however, that the Ratio will be
nearer 100000, and that our State will
have but 81 Members in the five Congress

POSTAGE STAMPS AND STAMPED ESvELOPEs-
A correspondents informs us that since the intro
duction OF cheap postage in England the Post
Ofice there has kept for sale both stamps and
stanhope envelopes, but that while the former
have been universally adopted, the latter have
hardly been used at all, aud are not likely TO be
more in request hereafter. The stamps, he saws,
are very much used in transmitting small sums
which could not well be sent through the Post in
coin. owing to its bulk. Hundreds of poands
weekly are carried in this form by the mails Of
the United Kingdom. The British Post Office al
lows one per cent by way Of commission to the
vendors Of stamps.

II THE EUROPEAN News this morning
has little piquancy in the resignation of
the French Ministry and the discharge of
Gen. Changarnier. This, however, is a
mere tempest in teapot 1t is family
quarrel, from which the Republican cause
can derive benefit only, as every agitation
must derange the existing order of things
and indirectly help on the triumph of true
principles. From Germany there is no
news of moment. From Italy we have a
new report of the old fact, that the Roman
people hate the Pope. So works the
leaven. By-and-by all will come around
