piled by the Captain General of the Philippines. The
various grievances of which the French govern
ment has to complain have been more than once
mentioned separately, but have not, we believe,
been enumerated together. The empire OF AMMAN
comprises three principal divisiOns-Cochin emma,
Camboda, and Tonking. The Emperor Cha Long,
in 1855, on the demand of France, agreed that the
Christian religion should for the future be freely
exercised in his States. His successors have, how
ever, treated that stipulation with great contemp
and for the last thirty years, the Christians nthe
States have been most cruelty treated. French and
Spanish priests, in particular, have been odlousiy
prosecuted and in 1857, Mgr. Diaz, Spanish bish-
Op, was put to death at Tonkng, by order OF the
Emperor Du Toe, now on the throne. That CIR
cumstance it is which has called for the lnterven-
tion of Spain. France desiring, as becomes
strong and powerful nation, to attempt conciiaton,
sent in 1857, NJ. de Montgny to Cochin China to
propose treaty of friendship to the Emperor OF
AMMAN. The mission of that gentleman completely
failed-the court of Hue the capital of the empire,
having refused to receive him, and even to return

An Irish paper says that at the dinner lately
given to Cardinal Wiseman by the Roman Catholics
of Waterford, the German band whose services
engaged on the occasion, not knowing that
the health of the Pope to precede that of her
Majesty, and not understanding what the chairman
said in proposing the toast, soon as the Pope's
health was proposed struck up "God save the
Queen" whereupOn there arose a scene OF great
confusion. The knives had not been cleared away,
and some of the most demonstratve of the feeders
or toasers grasped them in their hands, and stand
ing on their seats brandshed them at the players,
who aloft in the gallery, and who, mistakng
these signs for applause, played with increased VI
gor. The confusion increased, and as the storm
of sound continued, the poor players still misun-
derstanding this confusion, and supposng 1t was
applause played on. At length some Of the COM
pany rushed furiousy up the stairs to the gallery
and attacked the musicians. who were glad to es-
cape without having their instruments broken.
The Russian Government, saws the Cologne Ga
zete having succeeded in fixing its frontiers the
side of China, along the banks of the Amoor, is
now endeavoring to reguariZe the limits of the
western frontier of its possessions between Kraehta
and the Government of Tomsk, where the dividing
line still remains very uncertain On that point
the Chinese and the Russians constantly accuse
each other of reciprocal encroachments. To put
a end to such state of thing, the Government of
st. Petersburg will doubtless be able to conclude
second treaty, the first already giving it great
advantages. EmigrantS in great numbers are pro-
ceeding to the Lower Amoor, and hopes are enter
tanned of attracting to the right bank of that river
the Chinese from the neigbboring islands, by the
security which the Russian Government will offer
them.
