last night from some one hundred persons,

ny faction, and demanded the funds, said

WHAT A BERLIN CORRESPONDENT SAYS.
Berlin correspondent of the morning
papers says that negotiations are now well
advanced between our own and the Prussian
government, which is confidently expe sted
to result in relieving American citizens from
all danger on account of military duty on
return to their native land.
Gov. Wright, United States Minister at
Berlin, had been attacked by the Berlin
psess for an alleged application to the Prus-
sian government on behalf of the United
States Methodist congregation, for site on
which to build a chapel in that city, but had
been set right in the public estimation by a
protest signed by most of the leading Ame-
rican residents.
PROM BUENos AYRKs.
Letters from Buenos Ayres say that Lo-
pez has again invaded the province of Cor
rentez. He is greatly enraged at the
reply of President Mitre to his letter,
and instantly ordered re-invasion. A large
number of Argentines have been impris-
oned and their property eonfseated, and
one has been shot.
The main body of the Brazilian army is
ten leagues below Correntes, and it is hoped
that they may save Correntes from being
sacked on the second invasion.
General Flores has 10000 Brazilians near
Tranquero DelooetO, ready to invade Para
quay.
The allies are concentrating at Paso de Ia
Patria. The Paraguaians are making stone
Notifications there and have been eoncen-
trating troops to dispute the passage OF
Parana at that place.

THE PREsIDENT-A CONVERSATION.
The correspondent of the Boston Adver-
blStA lul hloACo HA1h HhA 70 W DC q NpiA-
versation between the President and a dis
tinguished Representative. The President
expressed himself as being now, what he
had always been, the friend of the poor and
the lowly. He had never broken faith with
anybody, and if his past course and his for
mer language were not a sufficient guaran-
tee that he meant well towards the colored
people and would endeavor to secure
to them fair chance, nothing he could say
or do now would give any such guarantee.
He thought, however, that it was best to
speak plainly, and he did not believe that
the efforts now making by some who call
themselves the negroes especial friend to
force universal suffrage upon the States were
wise or judieious. He thought it tended to
embitter feelings, while our efforts should
be to cultivate calmness and confidence.
He believed it would result in great in
jury to the prospects of cOlored people. In
regard to differences with the party that
elected him he said he might differ with
individuals ofwhat was called Union party
as to means to be used, but he considered
himself in general accord with that party
