ABSENCE OF THE ITALIAN MINISTER FROM THE PREsI-
DENTS DINNER PARTY.
The absence OF the Italian Minister Chevaer Bertnat
from the Presidents dinner party TO Prince Napoleon on
Saturday has been the subject Of much comment in dpo
matte circles proposed that the dinner should be
en- taile, and it was supposed that for this reason
diplomatic etiquette might be dispensed with. But the
foreign diplomats could not appreciate it in this way
Prince Napoleon being the sonnaw Of the King of Italy
family party To the Prince to which the French Minis
ter was invited required Also the invitation Of the repre-
sentative Of Italy, but Lord Lyons was one
or the guests, court etiquette required
the invitation of the whole diplomatic corps 1t not
presumed that the household Of the President are en-
'rely du fat in diplomatic etiquette but the Secretary
OF State has not the excuse, and it was his
duty TO see that any blunder in this respect was
avoided. He took TO avoid 1t himself in
reference to his dinner party TO the Prince the fol
lowing day, and IL is suspected he allowed the bunder
to be made in order to exhibit his own famiari-
ty with court etiquette in contrast with the
Presidents want Of knowledge Of such details
This bunder, in addition the appointment the mis-
sion to Turin of Mr. Marsh whose opposition the Italian
struggle for freedom in ls4s made him obnoxious to
Italy, and commended him to Austria, is regarded
as marked affront to Victor Emanuel.
THE STEAMER GEORGE PAGE.
The steamer George Page, stolen from the wharf some
months and converted into gunboat by the rebels

is prevented from coming out by the presence Of the

tempt was made to her out Of the creek and
change of shots took place between the ice boat stationed
there The George Page mounts six guns The
ice boat not harmed but is supposed the Page
struck she put back the creek after receiving few
shots at her.
UNSATISFACTORY ADvICEs FROM MExICO-REBELLIoN

The Juarez government is entirely poweress, and Is
liable to be overthrow at any moment.
The last advices from Minister which July

hope of doing anything with the treaty
The Congress in session there opposed to any

The papers the past week have brought
their usual daily freight OF dispatches, one
halfor which of one day are coutradicied hy
those of the next. Troops continue to pour

safety of the city are entertained
Baltimore is under the protection Of C. s
troops. The same regiment that was assnuted

ca.nped on Federal lIill. The Union scnti-
ment is Predominant throughout the State,
and Gov Hicks has issued his proclamation
for the volunteers assigned 10 Mary land under
the Presidents requisition. There is no further
opposition to the passage Of troops through
Baltimore.
The rebel forces still continue to concen-
tra.e in various parts Of Virginia They evil

The New York World deserves credit for
the stand it has taken in opposition to the
fault finding Journals of New York, and other
places, who would have the government mady
rush undiscipliBed troops into the jaws Of
death, before they were properly armed, and
before it had the means TO successfully carry on
a war that when commenced must be pushed
TO It's bitter end. Gen. Scott, like The noble
Washington, would save the army, and desires
not o make a movement until he can MAKE
successful one. The Word cautions the
people not to misiudge the supposed slow
ness Of the government in entering on the Of
fensive operations which all mcn see must be
sooner OF later, adopted to make the war ef-
iective. We have not yet an adequate supply
OF arms; preparations are not yet completed
for feeding an army at all points whittier ii

Plain and 20 Point.

The explicit and stringent instruc-
.tions of Secretary SEWARD to Mr..
DAYTON, our Minister to France, will
have the effect of dispelling any doubt
that may yet exist as to the lnten-
$ion and determination of the Admin
istration TO preserve the Union at all
hazards. In order to avoid misap-
prehension by France of the true
state of the Federal Government,
Mr.. DAYTON is Instructed to explicit
" inform the French Government
through VI. Thouvenel, that there is
no difference of opinion whatever
between the President and his con-
stitutional advisers, or among those
advisers themselves, concerning the
policy that has been pursued and
which is now prosecuted by the Ad-
ministrntion in regard to the unhap-
py disturbances existing in the coun-
try; that the path OF Executive duty
has thus far been too plainly marked
out bv stern necessity to be mistaken
while the solemnity of the great emer-
qency has extirguished in the public
councils every emotion but those OF
loyalty and patriotism and that NJ
Thouveners declaration that the
United States may rest well assured
that no hasty or precipitate action
will be taken on the subject OF the ap-
pretended application Of the insur-
rectionists for a recognition Of the
independence Of the so-called Conted-
crate States is entirely satisfactory
Mr.. Seward assures the French pco-
pie that "it is not in the hands OF this
Administration that this Government
is to come to an end at all, much less
for want of harmony in devotion to
the country" The firm determine
ton of the American people is plainly
set forth By the language of Mr.. Sew
ard. You cannot" he says, be too
decided or too explicit III making
known to the French Government
that there is rot now, nor has there
been, nor will there be any-thC
least-idea existing in this Govern
ment Of suffering dissolution OF this
Union to take place in any way what
ever. There will be here only one
nation and one Government, and there
will be the same Republic and the
same constitutional Union that have
already survived dozen nationa
changes and changes Of governmen
in almost every other country
These will stand hereafter, as they
are now, objects of human wondeI
and human affection. You have
seen, on the eve Of your departure
the elasticity of the national spirit
the vigor Of the National Govern
nent, and the lavish devotion of tht
national treasures to this great cause
Tell NJ. Thouycnel, then, with th'
highest consideration and good feeling
that the thought of dissolution o
this Union, pcaccably or by force
has never entered into the mind 0
any candid statesman here, and it i
high time that it be dismissed b.
statesmen in Europe"
