Our Special Foreign CoTrcsrondence.
In the pages Of tho HERALD to-day we
present to our readers the result of the labor
of our special correspondents stationed in diff
Mexico and the Spanish Antilles--in vivid and
accurate illustrated detail of our news reports
and dispatches, by the submarine cables and
otherwise, to the I'd of November. This
exhibit, which is most attractive and enter
tanning in its character and verbiage, supplies
to the community at large narrative of the
current history of the world at these different
quarters just rs its material points have been
evolved, besides furnishing food for the most
serious reflection to churchman, statesmen,
the administrators Of the law, capitalists and
husbandmen, as well as that very large and
wel-to-do portion of the community who have
been classed as the 'wor!d's tired denizens, !"
who enjoy lite by the way and make merry in
marching along"
A special writer in Spain dates at San
Sebastian. He has taken himself away from
Madrid, its political demoralizations and
dynastic intrigues and doubts, into the country,
and paints rural scenes sketching the pea
santry and peasant life as he whirls by rail
to the Basque Provinces, where he finds
the robust and simple minded population
happy and contented and living just as
Virgil represented their neighbors, the Ital-
ians in his day, SUB tegnaiae tagj, undis-
turbed by the 'wall- battering" cannon of
Prim and Topete and the others. Again. W"

archical corporate encroachments, the sacer-
dotal accumulation of vast wealth. the enerva-
ton to ef'eteness Of the clergy, the monopoly
of the monastic orders, exclusiyism for con-
science sake and the results, religious doubt,
infdelity, the loosing of the social obligations,
civil war, bloodshed and demagogism, with
near approach to one man tyranny or an
attempt at redress by foreign intervention.
From Pesth, in Hungary, we are told of Pam
slavism and the progress Of that grand ethno-
logical struggle between the Latins and Teu-
tons in which the representatives of each
attempt to prove the indestructibility as well
as assert the mastery Of a race, and of the
exact character Of which we have some little
experience already on the soil OF the American
Continent Rome is perfecting the arrange
ments for the Ecumenical Council, while from
London, strange TO say we have simple
statement of what the writer alleges will be
the moderate, simple proceedings of the mem
bers Of that most reverend and august assem-
blage. Many distinguished Americans had
already arrived in the Eternal City and were
cordially welcomed an Ex-Governor of the
State of New York having been received by
Plus the Ninth in audience, while couple
of our most celebrated city divines
were sojourning near the Vatican, ap-
parently consoled by even personal ap-
proach to the centre of Christian unity. In
Germany and France the public mind was
still more and more engaged in q consdera-
tion of the Roman Council and canvass of its
probable influence and results. Paris presents
itself in its peculiar character of world of
lite hourishing within the ordinary world
speaking of love, murder, religion, democracy
and mobocracy, with the watchful eye of
Imperialism over all. The King of Prussia
complmented Scotland by specially presenting
to the municipality and people Of Peterhead
memorial monument in honor of the late Field
Marshal Keith. The correspondence which
took place on this interesting occasion is also
given. From British India come wretchedly
doleful accounts of the miseries produced by
the sword of Warren Hastings, with q. con-
frmation of the news Of Doctor Livingstone's 8
safety. So that we may, with very great Justice
and a very considerable amount of that honor
able legitimate pride which ever results from
successful enterprise, conclude our remarks by
calling attention to the manner in which
Europe, ASIA the Spanish West Indies and
Mexico are again especially photographed in
the pages Of the HERALD.
