CATACAZY'S DISMISSAL.
The Unquiet Diplomat Pensioned or Cautioned
to Abstain from Writing and Dropped fromthe
Roll Of the Foreign Office Something from
Which Mr. Fish Might Take Lesson.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2, 1872.
Catacazy. after some weeks of hard labor, has at
last presented his defence to the commission ap-
pointed to investigate his acts, which commission
does not seem to have been particularly over
whemed by the startling revelations Mr. Catacazy
was to have made. Judge, in fact, by the manner
in which he has been rewarded for his services and
pensloned off, that his representations have pro-
duced little effect, and that is in deep, very deep,
disgrace.
He has received pension OF 5000 rubles about
2,O0O), and has gone Off to some OF the German or
French watering places to recuperate, after the
citing war In which he has been engaged for the last
year.
NO MORE LETTER WRITING.
He was given to understand, however, that he
will be deprived OF even this insignificant II he
dares to publish word more concerning the az
fair, and so the revelations which to startle
the world will be smothered In the unfathomable
depths of the Russian archives.
DROPPED FROM THE ROLLS.
His name has been erased from the rolls OF the
Foreign Onice, OF which he is no longer member,
and the pension accorded him is not paid from this
part of the Budget, but from another fund.
CATAoAzY's FATE A LESSON TO FISH.
Dead very dead, Is Catacazy-politically, Imean-
and we shall probably hear OF him no more. The
unquiet spirit which was Mr.. Fishs bette noire has
been exercised at last; the noise of their wran-
Cling and discord, which excited and amused the
world for so long, will be heard no more. Mr.. Fish
is victorious His enemy has gone down, rhetori-
cay, under the strokes Of his mighty pen, and les
metaphorically dead at his feet. But one more
such victory and Mr.. Fish would be, too, lam afraid
very badly whipped man indeed 1t has cost too
dearly to be often repeated and let 1t be hoped for
the sake of international good feeling that he may
In future keep his temper.
Parthian shot-Mr. Catncazy Conn
municates with Mr.. Sumner Before
Leaving the United States-His Esteem
for the American People and Pity for
His CnlumniatOrs.
WASHINGTON, March IL, 1872.
Before leaving America Mr.. Catacazy addressed
the following letter to Mr.. Sumner by which 1t will
be seen that his admiration for that distinguished
gentleman is exactly equal to his dislike for many
of Mr.. Summers countrymen:-
NEW YORK, Jan. 20, 1872
MY DEAR MIR. SUMNER-At the moment OF nv
departure from America feel most anxious to
renew to you the assurance OF my profound esteem

you were not only the apostle but also the
martyr Of the great idea to the triumph of which
you have 80 powerfully contributed. l have found

nation which produces such men as you has
everything to hope from the future, and can well
afford to bear with the transient miseries OF the
present. The American organization Is so youthful
SO fine and vigorous that it is sure to throw of In
the natural course of its progress the unsound ele

consequently leave the United States with in
creased feelings Of esteem and admiration for its
great people, and with the cheering conviction that
the friendship between this and my own country is Sc

As regards those who have exhausted themselves
In efforts to calumniate me- and who have not
scrupled at anything in the pursuit OF their de-
signs, am content to pity them. Were to con-
descend to waste time upon them would simply
answer in the words once used by celebrated
statesman, "YOu may go on II you please pile
up falsehood upon falsehOod, injury upon injury,
but you will never succeed in eevating yourself to
the height Of my contempt"
bid you once more farewell, with my sincerest
thanks, and believe me, my dear Mr.. Sumner / re-
main yours, respectfully, CATACAZY.
