Loxpox, July 20.—At the anniversary of the establishmeunt of the Libsral Associntion of Bermondsey Street, Londop, to-vigbt, Mr. Gladstone made 1 long speech, In which he beg- ired to decline’ resuming: the leadership of the Liberal party. He powerfully attacked ihe ‘manaerin which the people; bad Iately beeh gov- érned. No despotic tGoveroment in Europe would have dared to-do Tihat the Cabinet had done.—accepting sach ‘réspousibilities unknown to the people. He'rriticieed P e * THE TREATY OF BERLIN, . whereby Enzland consented.to replace under the despotic rule. of . Russia, Besearabia, which belonged to'free Roumavia.

Gladstone concluded by hoping thic Ministry would shortly be judged by anappeal to the country.. ] NO DISSOLUTION. ‘Loxpox, July 8).—A correspondent in the Edinburg Scotsman . says the British Cabiuet bhas finally: dec.ded not i dissolve Parliament this year. & THE SETTLEMENT.

Before fis conclusion Aksakoff, a Panslavist agitator, made such 8 violeut speech at Mos- cow against the Russian concessions in’ the Coneress, that he was warned that its repeti- tion would be regarded as a personal attack on the Czar. OPPOSITE SENTIMENTS. A Berlin letter says the Slavophile enthusi- asm is disappointed. The Liberals would bave been willing that g state of warsbould continue, because they hoped out of its results to gain the base of constitutional liberty, but an immense majority of the Russian pcople. as well as the mereantile community, and wealthy as well as lower masses, are heartily glad of the return of peace. ITALY’S SPLEEN. The Italisn Government ana Conservative orguns continue to attack England. The Italian radical newspapers do not notice the subject of the English oceupation of Cyprus, but exclu- sively devote their attention to Austria.

New Yonk, July 20.—A' correspondent of the Hera’d describes the visio: Gen. Graut paid to Bismarck in Berlin. The' General walked from his hotel to the Radzewell Palace, only a few rods distant. His visit had been expected. He advaoced to the door, but before he bad time to ring two, servants threw: them open, and be Dassed into an open marbie hall. “Through the opened and opening doors, Wwith both hands extended to meet the General, came the Prince. He wore an officer’s uniform, and on taking the General’s hand sald, * Glad to..wel- come Gen. Grant to Germany.” The- General answered that there was no.incident o his Ger- 1nan tour that more interested him .than this opportunity of meetine the Prince. L BISMARCK EXPRESSED SURPRISE . at secing the General so young a an,-but on a comparizon of aves it was-found that Bismarck was only seven years -the. General's senior. “That;” sald the Prince, “shows the value of a military. life, for here you have the frame of a’yomrg:-man, ' while’ I feel - like' an old man.” The ..General, . smiling, :announced that he-was :at' that period.of life whea 1€ conld have no higher compliment than befog called a young mm. . By this time the, Prince. had escorted thes. General _to a chair. Oue of the Prince’s firsi guestions was s ABOUT GEN. SHERIDAN. | . The General and I, ssid the Prince, *“ were fellow-campaizners m France, and we became great friends.” - Gen. Grant .said that he had letters from Sheridan recently, and be was quite well. *Sneridan,” said the Prince, seemed to be a man of great ability.” “ Yes,” . onswered the General, “I ve- gard Sheridan 2s not only one of the ereat soldiers of our War, but one of the great soldiers of the world, as a man who is fit for the highest commands. No better General ever lived than Sheridan.” *1 observed,” said the Prince, “that he had . A WONDEREGLLY QUICK EYE. On ope oceasion, 1 remember, the Emperor and his stafl'took up a position to observe a battle. The Emperor himsclf was never near enough to the front, was always impatient to be as near. the fighting as possible. ‘Wely,’ said Sheridan to me. as we rode along, ‘we shall never stay here: the enemy will in ashort time make this so untenable that we shall all be leaving ina'hurry. Tuen, while the men are advancing. they will soe us retreatlng.’ Sure enough in gn hour or so the ¢annon shot began to plunge this way and that way, and we saw we must leave. It was diflicult to move the Emperor, however. but we all had to 2o, and,” said the Prince, with a hearty laugh, “we went rapidly. Sheridan had SEEN IT FROM THE BEGINNING. 1 wish I had 80 quick an eye.” The Prince then asked about Sheridan’s com- roand, his rank, bis age, how long he held the command, and remarked that be was about the same age as the Crown Priuce. After a long conversation, in which the Con- gress, the attempt on the Empérors life, and other topics were discussed, our Civil War was broached, when Bismarck said, *It was a long: war ond a great work well done, and 1 suppose it means a long peace.”” “Lbelieve so,” said the General. He asked the General when he wight have the pleasure of 5 SEEING MIS. GRANT. The General answered that she wonld receive him at any convenieut hour. “Then,” said the Prince, 1 will come fo-morrow before the Con- gress meets.” Both gentlemen . arose, and- the General.renewed the expression of his pleasure at having - scen 2 man who was so well known aud so hizhly esteemed in America. ** Geoeral,” . answered the Prince, *“the pleasure and the honor are mine. Germany and America have alwaye been in so fricudly a relation that notbing delights ue wore than to meet Americans, and especially an American who has done so much for hie country, and whose name is so much hooored in Germany us, your own.” The Prince and the General walked side by side to the door, and after shaking hands the General passed into the square. The ~uard presented arms, and the General lit a fresh cigar and strolled bome. “Iam giad to bave secn ‘Bismarck,” he remarked. **He is a man whose manner and’ bearing fully justity the opinion one forms of bim. What he saysabout the ‘Emperor was besutifully said, and should be known to 21l Germaus and all those who es- teem Germanv.” BISMARCK PLAYED FAIR, AND NOT THE PART OF MACHIAVELLI—IE SECURED PEACE AND PREVENTED WAR. g London Times. July 8. 1t would not be easy to find a kecner piece of satire on some English portraits of Prince Bis- marck tban the remarkable statcment onthe Eastern question which he has made to one of our correspondents in Berlin, and which we pub- lished yesterday. It has been said, ana perhaps crowds of people still suspect, that he did as much 85 any one to bring about the war be- tween Russia. aud Tarkey, and that , he was gulded by the most cynically selfish ; of German objects. He wagted, in the first place, it hos been hinted, to pay G1E the heavy debt of obliza- tion to Russia which Germuny ran ap during the war with ¥rance. But.for the menacesof St. Petersburg, Austriz might then have taken the side of France. and thus, to say the feast, Sedan might huve been postponed. Prince Bismurck could easily wipe ut that score by betping Russia to Dlant her outposts somewlat nearer 1o Constantinuple, But he had also objects of his own to guin. 'So, in sowe mysterious und uuexplained fashion, ne took care that war should spring from artificial disturbances. Like every true statesman—such was the theory—he I a contemmpt for all intereats but those of his own country, and_Germany would reap a Fich harvest of profit from a great European strug- gle. Her friend:to-day, Russin, miznt be ber foe and therefore . Prince Bis- marck soughi- to weaken her by a process of biood-letting. Let her fight even ith Turkey alone, and she would Gind the work long, arduous, and_ exhaustinz.* But Mustria migut aisobe drawn.fnto the quarrel, as theally of Turkey; and, better still, the giwantic re- sources of Englaud ‘mizht be cast to the same stde. Meanwaile, Germany would look at the contest with ohilosopiic caim, for while all the other States would suffer, she would profit. They would come out of it Wweak, she would re- inain strong. Much more sinster designs lay in the backgronnd.. Amid_the .general confusion, Germuny might be able to rid herseli of theone great danger which lies across her path. France {5 arining as fast and 0s succesefully as Prussia herselt recovered:irom the havoe of Jena. But Prince Bismarck coutd call upou her to stop the preparations, and, if need be, enforce the summons. - Ouce: for’all, Germuny should be made safe on the side of France.. Territorial frontiers might also be rectified iu_other direc- tions. Denmark could afford to lose a little more of its seaboard, and Holland might be made to confess the necessity of becoming 3 German State, in order thai the greatest of wilitary. Empires mizht be able to build up a sizantic maritime power. Nor was tnere any reason why Austria should continue to possess German proviuces. Her march lay eastward; her capital ought to be Pesth; and for the loss of German territory she might find splendid comipensation in the loose materials of the Tuarkish Empire. Europe, in fact, was to be re- made to satisfy Prince Bismarck’s ambition and to render Germany secure. A more gizantic plan of change was never {ramed eveu by the First Napoleon. * » Coolly read by the light of what Prince Bis- marck has been saying and doing at Berlin, such a scheme seems to be like a nightmare. It may appear dilicult to belicve thut any sane person could bave been moved by 80 extravaganta string of delusions. Yet sometimes parts, and sometimes the whole, of those fantastic perils were vaguely hinted at or darkiy msinuated. Tnus erowds of peoplewere made uneasy by the fear that the peace of Europe was menaced by a foul conspiracy, and they were not much con- soled by the inzimation that it was England which mustdefeat the designs of the Macoiavelli of Berlin. Yet the whole story was the frait ofa delusion. If Prince Blsmarck had wished to bring about a general war, he could have given the sirnal for it with terrible ease amid the recent excitement of Europe. - In fact, however, Do statesman more cordially tried to smooth away the difficulties which prevented the _meet- ine of the Congress, and, now that it Is_sitting, his eagerness .to secure or even o patch up eace 18 said to be at times almost cxcessive. With consummace skill, he has so arrauged the subjects for discussion as to leave the miulnuim risk of stnte. He brought on. the subject of Bulearia first of all, because, if that were satis- factorily setticd, the other questions would pre- sent comparatively liutle ditticulty. As much as possible of the real discussion has been done in private, away from the temptations to rivalry or heat, and the formal detiperations have been cut’short with_despotic rigor at the first sign of dangerous discord. In fact, the President is, said to make a larze use of good-natured and haif-humorons builying to drive the Plenipo- tentiaries towards some kind of agrecment. The smaller States have been spuboed qumer- citully“when they have become troublesome. Prince_Bismarck would 8imost scem Lo care little_how the-disputes are settled, provided that they are settled without war. For the first timé fn bis life, he would ‘appedr to be in favor of peace at any price. 1t may be'said, no doubt, . that his method is fauity, because it may leave some .ot -the diflicalties only balf overcome, But, in trath, it will set the bealing effect of time on the. side of - diplomacy; and,- 8t ail- _events, Prince Bismarck’s’ eagerness that the Plenipotentiares: should - agree, and asree at. once, is a *practical satire on’ the perilous de-. Signs witn which he has been credied.

Special Dispatch €o The Tvibune. ; NEw York, July 20.—The most jmportant testimony io favor of Fitz-John Porter was that given by the witness Smith, formerly on Pope’s stafl. It wasupon the evidence of this witness, chiefly if not entirely, that Porter was convicted on the original trial. At that time he testified that in an interview with Porter he saw tresson in Porter's eye, and it was bis description of Porter's manner which alone went to the point of giving “a dishonorable motive for Porter’s acts. - Now: he admits that, whep he thus swore awny Por- ter’'s honor, he did not mean that he believed him a traitor, but he was himself laboring un~ der excitemnent because Pope had soubbed him himself. s He also, an cross-examination, admitted that ho was mistaken on the former trial in suppos- ing that Porter received Pope's order of 4:30 p.. m. at 5 o'clock, and now substantially confirms the statements by Gen. Ruegles, Chief of Pope’s stall, and several others, all confirming Purter’s claim that it did not reach bim nutil so near dark that it could not be obeyed. The same Witness further discredited Gen. Pope by declaring that be protested to Pope bimself ngainst the use, in an anti-Porter pam: phlet professing to- review the cuse, of what purported to be an extract from Stonéwall Jackson’s report of nis operations on the 29th of Auzust. Witness pointed out to Pope that this extract related to operatioas of the 30tn, which destroyed it as evidence against Porter. The extract was furnished by Gen. Schriver, of McDowell’s'staff. Witness also fixes Pope’s re- sponsibility for the disappearance of four im- portant dispatches from' Porter, which the lat- ter claims would establish his own fidelity. ‘The scene during Swith’s examination wae excmgfi and marked, Smith stood sbout thres feet tant from Porter, and the glittering black eyes of the lacter were turned on him with tie strictest attention, and almost with- out interruption, during_the long exemination. Porter has the look, ordinarily, of an amiable man, and his eves, which are large and mgn’:& have 2 kindly cxoression, but, os he regard this man who had been instrumental in swear- ingz away his zood pame and fawe, bis expres- sion was very severe. Practically, all the testimony is now In, and military men lgenurally decrars that there can be no doubt of Porter’s honorable acquittal fn due time. The World says Smith, who was expected to make a strong show against Porter’s side, has really been of more use to . Porter than his- own witnesses. He made the impression of not beifiga bad sort .of man, though fanatical and ‘prejudiced -to an extraor- diparv exient. He i3 evidentlya man of no ordinary_ability, and of obstinacy and force. Be made “some geod connter-hits on. Coua-:- sélor Choate, and turned the laugh on him when, with mock golemnity. he was expressing his sorfow that ‘the h.story of the campuga which Smith 'is writing wouid havé to be re- written or materially altered, Smith said quiet- 1y, *‘that chapter Is not writtcn yet.” . And. grain, when Choate was pressing him hard, he turned on him flercely, aud eaid, I see your ingenuity in asking questions. It is for sale, X suppose, like any. other commodity.” All of which Choate took beamingly. The Hera'd points to the fact that the Gov- ernment’s withesses stroozly support Porter’s Lfl_uims, and show Pope’s bitter prejudice azainst im. p LOUISIANA..
