The French Admiralty Court has pro-
| nounced judgment declaring the ma
nfuvre of the steamer Vile du Harve
to have been blameless, and holding the
bad management of the Loeb Erne as
the cause of the disaster. The court en-
logged Captain Sarmont.
1t is said Captain Surmont will be APP
pointed to the command OF the French
Trans Atlantic Gompany's steamer Vile
de Paris.
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks that
the Liberals st Rome are making use OF
Pio ENono's obstinate rejection of all
proposals for accommodation, to urge
that the separation of the temporal and
spiritual Kingdoms should be carried
out logically and completely, aud that
church buildings of the city, monuments
Of all kinds, and above all, the Vatican
Library and galleries should be taken
by the State. This view, iE is observed,
was not only adopted by Napoleon First
IN his original conquest of Italy, made
when he was General Bonaparte, but was
practically acquiesced in by the then
Pope, who accepted as one of the condi-
tions of peace, after of his troops, that
imposed on him of sending member OF
the most valuable of the Vatican manu-
scripts to Paris, without any attempt to
attach any sacredness TO them as church
property.
The Home Government has relieved
General Burriel of the command of the
Eastern Department because in the proc
lamation issued last week he attacked
the existing administration of Spain.
He has been ordered to appear at Mad
rid to answer charges preferred against
him in relation to this matter.
Captain General Joveliar insists that
the Government shall accept hls resigna-
ton unless he is granted in full the ex-
traordinary powers enjoyed by his pre-
decessors. The Government has conce-
ded increased powers, bat they are re-
strlcted by certain conditions.
The Vose de Cuba saps the only rea-
son Joveliar has not taken effective
measures for the tranquilization of the
island was because he could not legally
do so. The Pose and Diari0 declare
that the conservatives favor grant of
extraordinary powers, for the only way
to save Cuba to Spain is to declare mar
tial law throughout the island, lepying
forced contributions and cali out the
militia to suppress the rebellion
Spain.
The news from Madrid this week, are
of a somewhat unexpected and startling
nature. On Friday the Cortes met and
President CASTELAR, read his annual mes
sage from the Ministerial benches. He
SAID the Government had acled prompt
ly and energetically against disturban-
ces and cOnspiracies of all kinds, and
that order had been maintained every
where except in the North, where the
Carlists still maintained their attitude OF
rebellion, and at Cartagena. where un-
fortunately q criminal insurrection had
possessed itself of one of the strongest
places in Spain, and with it the best ar
senals and most formidable irol-eIads
and almost impregnable fortresses,
within which to protect their aeeursed
flag. The want of troops and resources
delays their re-capture, which. however,
is certain in the end. It is beyond a
doubt that the Insurgents of Cartegena
have direct communication with the
Carlists. The Carlist war is greatly ag-
grayated by Reorganization, lack of dis
tciplipe and dissensions among the lead
.ers of the forces supporting the Govern
ment canse. The President appeals to
all in the presence OF this war, to sink
and efface party differences. No policy

In closing, the President congratulate
ed the C0rtes that the condition OF af-
fairs is greatly Improved. The army is

On vote OF approval being ordered,
however, at the close of the address, the
deputies gave a vote against General
Castelar,, on two separate ballots. The
result was decidedly unexpected.
General Pavia, who is friend of
PRESIDENT CASTELAR,, thereupon occupied
the palace OF the Cortes and other pub
lie buildings with fourteen thousand
troops. He dissolved the Cortes and
summoned the most eminent men of all
parties including members of the pres
ent Government, only excepting Carl
lists aud intransigentes, to form new
Government. This General Pavia de-
clared was the only means for the saliva
ton of the country. He refused per-
sonally to become member of the Gov
ernment.
A decree was promulgated Monday,
suspending the constitutional guaran-
