JEFFERSON DAVIS recently addressed the
Southern Historical Convention, at White
Sulphur Springs, Va. In speaking of the late
war, he said {" We have been more cheated
than conquered by the declarations of the
Federal President, Congress, and Generals,
for there never could have been a surrender
had we anticipated what followed, and we
would to-day have been free" He still had
hope of the South, because whatever men
might be, he never yet had seen reconstruct
ed women, and, while men of this day are
mightier than the principles for which they
had struggled, he yet hoped the children who
succeed them would grow up to maintain and
perpetuate them, and redeem all that we had
lost. IA New York Herald correspondent has

THE monarchical movement in France which
hedges about the Count de Chamord is per-
sistently kept up by the Legitimists. They
have prepared a sort of governmental con-
tract, and, if he will agree to be bound by it.

ence will be given in favor of the Republic. :.
A Madrid special to the New York Herald
says: Further complications have arisen from
the interference of the Prussian frigate in
Spanish affairs. Eight hundred Spanish
sailors, h we're sent by the Government
from Alicante to Escambrata to take possess
sion of the iron-clads Vittana and Alamanca,
were refused possession by Capt. Werner on
the ground that there was no authority from
Berlin to deliver them up. The sailors were
obliged to remain in a position where they
were menaced and at the mercy of the insur-
| gents. Thereupon Werner declared the sail
ors under his protection, as well as the steam
er that brought them. The insurgents de-
clared that the steamer must leave Escambrata,
or they would open fire upon her without re-
gard to the Prussians. Thus, by small degrees,
Werner's first blunder leads hin further in the
quarrel. The Republicans of Spain have
almost entire possession of the Province of
Navarro. +. i. The report is current at Paris that
Metz will be restored to France through the
influence of Russia

God and good will of the people. Proclama-
ton of monarchy will be made in about six
weeks....A Barcelona telegram of Aug. Is
says: The Carlists have begun their long
threatened attack on Berga. Six hours after
their batteries opened fire the city was burn
ing in several places.

enthusiastic The North German Gazette
denounces as a disgusting invention the report
in American papers of an interview with Prince
Bismarck, in which he is made to say that he
would extirpate the idea of God, and substi-
tute that of the State. 1t declares Bismarck
never used such language, or advocated such
sentiments, and believes the falsehood origi-
