THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1870.

Mr.. Hamilton, of Maryland, delivered yes
terday in the Senate very able speech when
the bill of s'Pains and Penalties" was up for
discussion. He said that the great object OF
the Radical leaders now us to absorb what lit
tie remains of the former rights and powers OF
the States, to consolidate, to centralize. One
by one, the reserved rights that once gave
power and dignity to State, are stricken
down. The object is to force upon State and
the people Of State the will OF Congress-. In
stead of the Constitution, this will is to be sub
stituted as the supreme law OF the land.
Coercion is the grand discovery and tho omnl-
potent remedy of the day. Nothing is to be
left to the assent OF the governed and the
voluntary observance of the duty OF citizen.
Even in tho effort that should be made to restore
the States to their practical relations to the
Union, the same malign spirit prevailed, and
VIC had the striking spectacle of Congress pro-
senting the alternative to tho unhappy people
of the Southern States of either adopting this
Fifteenth Amendment, 50 repugnant to them
or of remaining still without civil govern
ment."

The members spoke as follows -
B. CHRISTENSEN: There is something dis
couraging and Oppressive in entering upon the
discussion of a matter, of which it can be said
of many, as it can be said ofmyself, that on the
one hand is felt sincerely, in what an uncom-
monty high degree there is deficiency of the
absolutely necessary knowledge of the relations
here in question, whilst, however, on the other
hand, it has been sufficiently seen and felt that
the relations in the West India Islands are so
calamitous and unfortunate, that it can almost
be assumed that the mother-country cannot es-
cape from some ~reproach for the state of things
being as it is, without something thoroughgoing
having been done to assist them during so long
a period. However, there are certainly several

New York, November 14th 1870.
Dear Sir,-YOn will wonder at another letter
from me so soon, but intelligence relating to the
European ENHANCEMENT reaches US to-day from
Washington of too serious and important a ma
ture to be left untold,-Gold advanced to 1929
per cent. under its influence.
Your readers will doubtless remember the
terms of the treaty of Paris signed on the 3Oth
March 1856, the substance of which was That
the waters and ports of the Black Sea were to
be thrown open to the Mercantile Marine of
every nation, the two bordering nations engag-
ing not t. establish any military-marine arse
mails on the coast, and these two powers mutual
ly engaging not to have in that sea more ships
OF war IMAM SIX steam vessels or 5O metres (l64
feet) in length, of a tonnage Of 500 tons, and
four light steam or sailing vessels of a tonnage
not to exceed 200 tons.
In the face of this Treaty we learn to-day
that the Secretary of State at Washington re-
ceived dispatch night before last from Vienna
to the following effect.
Vienna, Nov. 12.-Austria is officially mott
fed that Russia will no longer observe the
Treaty Of 1856, touching the Black Sea.
1t follows therefore Gas night the day" that
Austria and England will be compelled to take
notice of Russia's action, and the Crimean ira
gedy must be enacted over again.
The Independence Beige of Brussels and the
F1eie PresSe of Vienna have articles confirm
ing the above. The former says "that while
Russia has always felt that the neutrality of the
Euxine was insupportable to her, she has never
suggested a revision of the territorial arrange
ments of the treaty of 1885," and the latter
publishes the points of the Russian Circular re-
lative to the prohibition of frigates in the Black
sea, and desires equal liberty of action to be &C
corded to Turkey, the remainder Of the Paris
Treaty remaining valid. We are evidently 60
ing to have a general European War.

From our own Correspondent
Per "S0uth AmeY5ca.''

New York, 23rd NOvbr, 1870.
Dear Sir There has been a singular ces-
sation OF war news during the past fey days.
Our dates from Paris are up TO the I4th, when
the city was reported tranquil, the successes of
the army of the Loire having produced a good
effect upon the PariSians, who had ceased cla-
moring for a sortie. There has been no serious
fighting aroundP Paris. The "Luxemburg Echo
says that more than one thousand Uhlans had
been driven into Belgium. Gen. PaIadine's
line is said to extend from LeMans to Nevers,
his main body resting along this line, while a
large section of his force has passed towards
EvreuX. His line is also reported as extend
ing from Orleans to Angerville, in a triangle,
whereof Vendome, Orleans, and AngervilIe
form the points. The German line extends
from Chateauneuf to Fontaineblpau. Berlin pa
pers claim that Paladine's strategy is under
stood at Versailles and will be met by a coun-
ter movement. The Gardes Mobiles had been
|repulsed at Dreux and Chateauneuf, and per
contra some Landwehr with two squadrons of
the 5th HuSsars had been beaten at Chatillon.
Garibaldi's command had been greatly strength
ened by volunteers from MarseiIles. The gar
rison of Montm6dy had made a successful sortie
driving off the besiegers. Taken altogether
the military news is exceedingly meagre since
my last letter to the TGDENDE, which | for
warded per barque "Palestina."
John Bright, it is rumOured, is to be sent to
Washington as British EnvOy.-Ihis is an olive
branch rendered to Uncle Sam !-"Circum-
stances alter cases" and our circumstances"
ar9Sbetter than they were in 'G1 49,.
The excitement in Europe about the Eastern
Question has abated somewhat, but England is
making great preparation for war nevertheless,
the Guards having been ordered to prepare for
active service &C., &c.
To-day Prince Gortchakof's answer to Austria's
note is expected, and Ali Pacha's note to Rus
STA in reply is also looked for. The Morning
Post" (London) denies that Italy has refus-
ed to join England and Austria in their Opposi-
ton to Russia, while the independence Beige
fears that war is inevitable and believes that
before New Years day all the Great Powers
will have their armies in the field.
Count Won Bismarck has not denied, as some
journals had stated, that Prussia has an under
standing with Russia in relation to the Black
Sea question.
Two Danish deputies, Kregger and ALBANIAN,
were elected to the PrusSian Parliament for
North Schleswig by a large majority.
The Duke of Aosta has given his formal ac-
ceptance of the Spanish Crown. The escort
squadron leaves Carthagena for Genoa next
Friday.

TELEGRAMS OF 23RD NOVEMBER.
THE QZAR.

The UNAh.
St. Petersburg.-The Gar, in replying to a
congratulatory address from the soldiers of the
Lithuanian Guards, said II hope there will
not be war. Should. however, Providence will
it, I am confident that the Lithuanian Regi-
ment will give fresh proofs of their devotion"
THE ANSWER TO GRANVILLE'S
NOTE.
London.-The reply of Count Gortschakof
to Earl Granville's note, which was dispatched
, 1870-12-06

The tone of the Russian answer is believed
to be conciliatory.
ITALY POLICY IN THE COMING
CRISIS.
Florence.-The official "Gazette de Italia''
advocates the neutrality of Italy in case a gen
eral European conflict ensues from the Russian
abrogation of the treaty of 1856.
1t behOves Italy to hold herself aloof from
the Russian difficulty.
Italy is not interested in the matter, and in
nowise anxious to bt come soldiers of England,
as France did in 1885 in the Crimea. All the
Italian journals advocate the same policy.
King Victor Emmanuel will go to Rome at
the end of the present year.
Prince Humbert will settle there in January,
1871.
THE SITUATION AT PARIS.
Tours. The latest dispatches from Paris by
the aerial transit up to Sunday night, state
that the equipment Of the new general levy of
the National Guard had been nearly completed.
The fresh recruits eyince very patriotic ardOur
and excellent discipline.
The preparations of the PariSians to attack
the P~russians are becoming everywhere more
and more formidable. The evolutions of the
citizen SOIdiery are incesSant.
Engines of war of the most destructive cha
racter have been matured, and will be shortly
tried upon the Prussians. Important events
may be soon expected.
There are no internal dissensiOns, and pro-
visions are abundant. Paris has fully shown
her ability to withstand a siege.
A BERLIN OPINION.
Berlin.-The "PruSsian Cross Gazette'' pre-
diets, in its issue Of to-day, the early termina-
ton of the war. 1t declares that the army of
the Loire, under De Palladines, is doomed, and
that Paris must succumb to famine.
PALLADINES' LEFT WING THREA-
TENED.
Tours.-The Prussians at Nogent and LIE
Rotren are threatening De Palladines' left wing
at lie Maus.
FURTHER DETAILS OF THF METZ
EXPLOSION.
Berlin,-Advices from Metz state that the
powder magazine in Fort Plappeville exploded
Yesterday with disastrous force. Several Prus-
sian soldiers were killed and forty wounded.
The damage to property has not been reported.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
OPINIONS OF THE LONDON WEA-
THERCOCK.
L~ondon.-The London "Times' has made a
sudden and remarkable change Of tone in its
editorial m upon the war.
In an extraordinary article this morning it
reverses all it's previous statements about the
futility o further resistance upon the part of
tariS.
1t declares to-day that the Prussians have
hindered, if not bafled the completion of the
designs of the Prussians. After two months
siege there is sufficient doubt concerning the
result to admit Of serious discussion as to how
the balance will ultimately divide.

We were much surprised on the arrival of
the Palestine to find that we had no file of late
papers or a letter of a later date than 18th,

remembered that the Palestine brought news of
