/ Rumor ran last week that negotiation had COM
nenred between the French and Austrian Cabinets,
aiming at the impossible end of peaceful diplomatic
cesson of Veneta Italy, in return for territorial
indemnity to be carved from the helpless body Of
Turkey; as though the Serbs, for example, were
likely to be more conented subjects of Austria, and
less probable allies Of Hungary than the Venetians
This rumor has lost the little credit it ever had
within the past four or five days.
What with the political situation Of Europe, some
of whose features sketched in the foregoing para
graphs taken in connection with the short crop, high
prices, short work financial difficulties, dullness Of
commerce. and coming Winter, feeling grows tend
ing TO shape itself into opinion and belief that war
is heading mp that will break ont next Spring.
The idea that France and England, or either Of
them, has got strength TO waste in wsnton interior
ence with quarrels on our side of the water is, in
these European circumstances, fancful one.
Here, in domestic French affairs, there are great
gongs on, quite interesting but quite difficult Of ex
PLANTATION. / have not time nor space for so much
us Gilated statement. IL looks on the troubled
surface Of the confused current Of events as though
there were a wide division among the members Of
the Imperial Cabinet. The official denial Of any
such division tends 10 confirm the belief in its exist
ence, For occult reason or other, the Emperor
chooses let exist among his ministerial clerks
instead of removing or silencing the dissidents
persigny reduction of the charitable societies Of ST.
Vincent de Paul numbering hundreds Of thousands
of members, who were mostly not NapoleOnists nor
Republicans, however charitable, and whose organ
ization and Capitalization was AS complete and
thorough that of the Jesuits to subsection 70 the
common law ruling all associations in France, was
intended as q blow at LegitiRist, 0rleanist, and
Clerical political opposition. OF euch opposition
this immensely numerous ard, by its organization,
possibly powerful society was supposed to be All
effective instrument in the hands Of Clerico-Lcgt-
mist and cd Orleanist political leaders The outry
Of their organs against the measure Of Persigny
under the pretense that they shocked at such vo
ation Of the liberty Of association, looks like good
proof that Persigny justified in bis action. For
note that most Of these oucriers have hitherto kept
profound silence as TO the law Hor applied to
the ST. Vincent de Paul societies during the lee; ten
years that II has been most severely applied 10 al
meetings Of Liberals and Of religious dssidents. The
emotion excited by Persignys action in this ease has
not ct all subsidized What was nearly as irritating
to the reaction, and equally remarkable, was the
publication of the gst of the Jesuit Father Passsglia
celebrated pamphlet, arguing against the temporal
power of the Pope, purely in the interest of the
Church-the publication of this in the MOnitcur Of
the Communes sheet that is edited at the Ministry
of the Interior, and then is sent out to the 1900
naics Of France to be posted IL outer walls Of
the same there to be read at their Sundays leisure
by the inhabitants most of whom see no other jour
nal. This could not have been done without In
perial sanction; i: must be powerful rlperer Of
pablo opinion in case his Majesty should one Of
these days want that public opinion 10 sustain hin in
helping Italy to It's capital. In that quite possible
coming case his Minister If Foreign Affairs will not,
l guess, he NJ. Thouvenel-whom, as yet, he pre-
serves at bis post, and lets struggle with Persgny.
4 A very funny and fanciful quarrel has been going
on for the last week or among the editors Of The
three so-called semi-ofcial journals-the Coas.,u-
hoAacl, PGys and Patrie. II has mainly consisted
in the throwing Of dirt with which all parties were
abundantly supplied-all having consented, any time
since the comp d6tat, 10 live and write in state OF
sefconfessed degradation, in which there is but one
editor in your New.York press capable Of existing.

now, when all France is on grin at them the poor

! am sorry that | have not time to quote some
extracts from friendly letter, dated Alexandra,
Egypt. My friend justifes his glowing eulogy of
our Consul enera for Egypt. Mr. Thayer, by
recounting some of his acts. Chief of these was
his vigorous and successful Intervention in the case
Of native convert an agent of our American mis-
sionaries in Upper Egypt. 1t seems that the un-
lucky convert was interrupted in his distribution Of
tracts by a mob and court and certain officials
all full of the soundest, oldest-fashioned Mahomne
dan persecuting conservative spirit. The result of
it was that he was horribly banged and beaten by
the unofficial and illegally condemned to penalties by
the official responsibilities Of Soub f that be the
name Of the Upper Egyptian town maltrea:ed by
my illegble correspondent. Mr.. Thayer hearing of
all this took upthe poor fellow part though Egyp
tan subject, on the ground Of his being employed by
and on the ground of his right, by the HAITI Sheriff
to exercise his religious business of bible dis
trihntion. and also on the ground Of humanity and
