The Impending Conflict. ‘We compile the following additional particu. lars of news by the steamship American.show- ing the ominous relations of Austrinand Prus- sin: it is stated that the two letters from the Czar, delivered by the Ruesian General Richter to the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Aus- ‘ria, ure not identical in their contents. The letter to the King of Prassiz is said to ex. vd in more cordial terms than that to tne Emperor of Austria, which is more exclusively formal character. Neither of the co: - sus express a desire for the preservation 1 peace, ‘Tbe Nord Deutsche Zeitung states that the Situation kas not changed, and that the arma- ments are still going on. ‘Phe Debatte states thatthe Russian General Richter will shortly leave tor St. Peterst ¥4 with au autograph letter from the Emperor. in reply to the letter of the Czar. The Vienna papers state that the conferences on the question of the Principalities haye been ucjourned, in consequence of the great diver- 81 of opinion which prevails among the Plenipotentiaries of the different Powers. All, howe ver, agree respecting the preseryation of the Turkish empire in its integrity, and the Suzerainty of the Sublime Porte over the Principalities. A telegram from Prague announces the ar- rest of Count Waldersee, upon suspicion of be- ing & Russian spy, his pocketbook having been tound to contain a plan of the fortification of Prague. 1tis believed that the Russian offer of me- diation arrived too late. A telegram from Cracon announces that several Russian statf officers have recently been mspecting the line of the Galierian fron- ter, The Vienna journals of April 8 all express irritation at the reply of Prussia to the Aus- trian note, and call upon the Government to appeal to the Federal Diet for the settlement of the questions at issue. itis rumored that a despatch has just been sent by Count Kurolp1, the Austrian represen- tative at Berlin, in reply to the lust note of Count Bismare! ustria. it is stated, reiterates the aemand contained in her note on the 3ist ult.: and expresses the hope that Prussia will give explanations as unreserved reiative to the meaning of her warlike preparations as those afforded by Austria with regard to the pre- tended concentration of her troops. The Times Vienna correspondent says:— “Last Saturday Austria sent a categorical dis- patch to Berlin, in which Count Bismarck is charged with having declared war with Aus- tia to be inevitable. and it is affirmed that the Austrian armaments have been caused by that declaration. Count Bismarck is also charged with intriguing in Italy against Aus. tria, The Imperial Government requires the demobilization of (he Prussian army.” The Vienna Debdstte states that Austria is about to decline co:.tinuing negotiations with Prussia until the latter Power ceases to mobi- lize her troops. ‘ie Presse says, the Austrian reply to the last Prussian Note partook of the character of an ultimatum, reproaching Prussia with tbe provocative language of her dispatches, and with her intrigues with Italy. In thee vent of an unsatisfactory reply, Austria would im- mediately bring forward a motion in the Fede- ral Diet for placing the Federal army upon a war footing. The Mayenpost says, that a confidential reply frcm Austria demands the disarmament of Prussia. The Nord Deutsche Zeitung states that Prus- sia will adopt measures of reprisal against Ausirian subjects now travelling in Prussia. The Bavarian Government has addressed Austria and Prussia, beseeching them to avoid all hostile measures toward each other. The Independence Belge states positively that after a correspondence between the Czar and the King ot Prussia, the Gear sent General Richter to Vienna to call upon Austria to dis- arm. it is believed that the intervention of Russia may prevent any further complication.

Mr. Blaine called the gentleman to order. He added that he did not understand what the gentleman meunt by avowing his responsi- bility « bere or elsewhere.” In thedays when the seats on the other side were filied, that kind of phrase was understood to mean a duel. [Laughter.) He was willing that the gentleman irom New York should indalge in his cheap swagger. Atter some further desultory discussion, Mr. Stevens offered the following asa sahstitute for the twentieth section, and it was agreed to by the Honse Sec. 20. And be it further enacted. That the Prevost Marshal's Burean shall be continued y so long as, inthe jndgmentof the Secre- of War, may be necessary to close up the business thereof; not exceeding, however, six months after the passage of this act. The House then took up the twenty-first section, and after some slight amendment adopted it. The twenty-second section was then stricken out and the twenty-third section adopted, when the Houee took a recess until 7.30 o'clock p.m. At the evening session, the Pacific railroad bill was recommitted to the committee. and a few minutes later Mr. Price, the chairman of the committee, rose, and again announced that he was authorized to report from the commit- te the bill to secure the speedy construction of the Pacific railroad. &c. Mr Washbburne, of Ill, raised the point of order that the gentleman from lowa had no rigRt to reporta bill as coming from the cot mittee two minutes after it had been recom- mitted, and when, in point of fact, there had been no meeting of the committee to reconsider the bill and proposed amendments. The Speaker overruled the point of order, on the ground that the House could not as. sume that the committee had not given con- ditional instructions to its chairman, and that the uniform practice of the House had been to consider the statement of a chairman that he was authorized to speak for the committer as sufficient. Mr. Price rose and said that he wanted the House to understand that when he stated that he spoke for a committee the statement must not be doubted. Mr. Ross, of 111.—Mr. Speaker, I rise toa point of order, and that is that “brethren (pointing to the Republican side of the House) should dwell together in peace and unity.” {Laughter.} The Speaxer.—The Chair sustains that Point of order. {Renewed laughter.] Adjourned. LATER FROM MEXICO. The Recent Defeat of the French. Advices from the Rio Grande to the 15th state Gen. Mejia bas returned to Matamoras, leaving a portion of his forces with General Jeningros, whe is charged with operations against the Liberals. On his retura General Mejia fell into an ambuscade during the night, commanded by Canales and Cortinas, which he penetrated, losing six killed and wounded. ‘The Liberal force is unknown. General M: Ja brought into Matamoras two hundred wa- eons, containing five hundred thousand dollars in coin. Before General Mejia’s arrival, it was reported that Cortinas came within three miles of Matamoras and hung three of the conductors of the train. It was also reported that the Li- berals had captured eighteen pontoons, and Were crossing With artillery from the Ameri- can to the Mexican side. This statement is proved to be false. Passengers by the steamer Golden Age re- ae that the recent defeat of the F: h near azatian has been fully coniirmed by the ur- Tivalofa French frigate at Acapulco, which brought further news that the Imperial forces under Lazada, while advancing from Tepice to operate with the French. were routed by the Liberals under Corona and Rubia. The Imperial consul bas received official despatches from Mazatlan, asserting that the stories of Imperial reverses are false; that the Imperialists were victorious at Presidio, near Mazatian,and that Lagoda defeated the Repub- licans at Acapomita, Private letters aod the newspapers received seem to confirm these itches. a very much mixed. otoin Dapeadio agen the amountof cred.

[Mr. Conkling repeated this with great ¥ Stnwon.— On Monday affernoon the eemi-centenary sermon of the = copal Choreh was preached before the timore Conference of the church im Jersel Church, where the Con- ference is bolding its annual session, large audience being present. Bi Wayman preached the sermon, taking for his text Acts, Sth chapter and 3th nd 39th verses—« Por if this counsel or this work be of men i will come to nought; but if it be of God ye cannot overthrow it,” which he sad he would con- sider in the light of @ motte rather than a text. After spesking at considerable length of the various attempts in different ages of the world to overthrow the church, spoke of the es. tablishment of the church in America, One hundred years ago the Methodist fathers Iand- ed in America and set up their banners, under which many enrolled their names. One fea- ture of the church was that the buying and selling of men, women and children with the intention to enslave them, was forbidden. The simplicity of her doctrines was admired by many, and her forms of worship were better adapted for the condition of the poor than those of other churches. Sbe took imto her communion Americans, Europeans, Indians and Africans—taking hold of all alike, tbe bigh and the low, the rich and the poor. As light began to dawn on the minds of the African race they began to understand that wll men were created free and equal,” and they began to aspire to position in the charch; bat they were met by the officers of the American M. E. Church, and told that they were incom- petent to fill the smallest offices in the church ‘They were then considered a nuisance in the chuich where they had set and heard the presching of the Gospel. When the Roman Church needed it God rarsed ap Lather, and when the Church of England needed it Wesley came forth. When the Methodist Church in America refused to “extend to the colored man the iacilities for his elevation,” &c., God brought forth two poor slave boys, one from Delaware and one from the Eastern Shore of Maryland—Richard Allen sud Daniel Coker. These called their brethren together in Phila- delphia in April, 1516, and then and there the banners were thrown to the breeze for all coming time. This act was considered by many as a very unfortunate one, and it was pre- dicted that ruin would follow. But the African M. E. Church has prospered, and she has spread throughout the country, crossing the Alleghanies and over the prairies of the W defying the frosts of Canada, and entering the British dominions. While wise politicians have been discussing the questions of eivil rights and equality before the law, she has gone forth believing that God has made of one blood all the nations of the earth; that all bis, and that God is no respecter of ¢ storms of the first years had paeved ment became clear and tranquil and ght shone be ab! slavery ry the reception of some of tah Miller was imp oned at Easton, Md., Peter Db, W.

As to what church organization has given the greatest impetus to the colored race in thi country be would leave to history to record, but if you wish to ascertain what this church has done and is doing for the race morally and religiously, he would say goto Philadeiphi: trom whence the church started: to Kentucky, and see the fine churches and school house and then down the Mississippias far as New Orleans. Take anether direction, to Charles. ton, S. C., from whence, furty years ago, she was driven. The shouts of the enraptured freedmen, welcoming the brave colored troops into Charleston, had barely died away before the missionary had arrived and raised his flag there. What was true of Charleston was also true of Richmond. They hag met to celebrate the semi-centenary of the exigtence of the church, but they conl@ with propriety at the same time celebrate the downfall of American slavery, and can swell the triumphant strains that are gomg up from the hilltops insevery State that another star more brilliant than the others is set in the galaxy, “equal rights to man without dis- tinction of color or cast.” 1n conclusion, he briefly reviewed the pro- gress of the church, and said that they had everything to hope for, and great encourage- Ment for the future. This sermon was listened to with marked at- tention by the assembiage.
