Drromatic NoT#s —Members of the Foreign Legation here look upon the Italian troubles as likely to lead to more serious results than have already appeared. It is declared that the course of Victor Emanuel is one of doub:e dealing, and that he is secretly aiding Garibal- di in violation of the stipulations of the treaty of Sept. 1864, regarding the Roman Capital. It is not improbable that Napoleon will ever call on the King of Italy for an explanation. The reiterated cable telegrams that Prussia wil! interfere in the difficulties to preserve the peace of Europe, are entirely misconceived in the tranemission or the translation of them inio print. If true, the absurdity at once appears of Prussia’s attempting to preserve the peace of Europe. Report OF THE SECRETARY oF WAR —The report of General Grant as Secretary of War has been received at the (Jovernment Printing Office, and the work of putting it in type com- menced. The reports of Secretary Welles and Secretary Browning will be ready this week, and sent to the office. The report of the Seere- wary of the Treasury will be the last one sent in, a8 it is necessary to keep the same entirely secret until trensmitted to Congress. N BANKRUPTCY.

THE BRAVLEY-FisuEs Case —The answer of Joseph Hi. Bradiey, Sr, to the rule laid vpon him by the Supreme Ooart in general term last week, requiring him to show cause why his name should not be erased from the roll of attorneys of the Court, was handed in this morning. It covers fourteen pages of legal cap, and it is stated that he holds thatthe action ot Judge Fisher in his decision order- ing his (Mr. B.’s) nat to be erased from the roll of attorneys pratising before tae Court, ‘was based on a misapprehension of fact-; that the regular time for adjournment having arrived and passed the language attributed to bim, which was said to be a contempt of court, was not technically a contempt, and that the letter banded by him to Judge Fisher in the street car was not a chalienge. He also asgs, itis said, that if the court is ia doubt as to these points, that an opportunity be given him to offer evidence to prove them. It is geper- ally suppoeed that the court will first con- sider the answer in chambers, and will then deliberate as to what action shall be taken in the premises. Tas Wak DeragtMent REPoRT.—From official sources it is learned that the forthcom- ing annua) report of the Secretary of War wili show a large increase tbis year in the amount of expenditures of the War Department over those of last. During ten months of this year the expenditures have amounted to one bundred and nine miilions of dollars, notwithstanding every economy has ben been used, and expenses curtailed to very lowest figures possible. Many would attri. buce this increase due to the payment of addi- tional bounties to the soldiers who partici- pated in late war, but such, it is learned, is not the ease, only ten millions of the above amount having teen used for such purpose. THE PusLic Denr.—The tothcoming state- mentof the public debt, which will be issued on Wednesday, will show & decrease of two milifons of dollars.
