Those who have the giftof freedom at thelr door seize it. Those who have not look hopefaliy to the future to obtain it. And thus the dread of austrian. rule is gradually binding the populations together, Whether this was a deliberate policy on the part of Navo- Jeon, or only an accidental result,no one knows. The really serious difficulty in the way of Sardinia is to bo found in the guarantee given by Eagland to the perma- nent existence of the tyraony of the Those who know Lord Palmerston’s rv stincts are not surpri¢ed that he is the fast friend of the most odious and iafamous rule in Europs, The excuse jven by England is that the presence of the King of japles is necessary for the ‘interests’ of Great Britain in the Mediterranean Sea. This “interest” account of England ia Southern Earops is linked with the Suez schome; the proposed ship canal from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, to pass through the south of France, giving a highway indeyentent of | Gibraltar; and the Milan decrees, whish, unier the policy | of Sardinia, will be made the basis of Continental policy. | Ttaly is too at this time to be able to enter upon any ioternational trade movement. But ia the north of Europe the case is different, and Germany be- gins already to respond to the commeroial requirements of the age. The now bank for Russia is an important fact, inasmuch as it confirms the impression I communicated in my last that the Czar favored the Na. poleontc trade policy for the Continent. This flaancia ovement originated in Hamburg and Borla, and if Iam Dotgreatly mistaken Paris will take a hand ia it sooner or later.

It is worthy of romark that not long since Napoleon was denounced by this same London press ag a tyrant and monarchiat per se. Now he is brought to account because he is gradually drawing the hopes of the revolutionists from Eagiand to France. The Emperor’s policy in regard to his navy is espe- Clally the subject of attack, Ta the = first place he is, sccording to England’s idea, not entitled to @ navy at all. Again, be has no right to a superior system for arming and manuing his ships. Two months ago the presence of the French fleet, all ready and Gfloat, irritated the London Ministry. Now, that tho French seamen are discharged on leave, and the formida- bie ships placed in ordinary, the complaints are worse than ever. They consist in accusations against Napoleon for thus having the power to disband or reorganize an immense navy in a few days. Really, England is bard to please. She is as virtuously indignant on the subject of the French naval system as she is upon the privateer sys- fem of America, The man who rules at Paris, however, ‘goes on his way quietly, He leaves the Italian cause to Rettle itaelf while he turns more particular attention to the Cologne. The field of operation for this latter company is to be America and its speciality cotton seduri- ties—that is loana direct to the cotton growors of the Southern States, based on plaatation securities. It is believed that such a bank will be ableto make valuable investments and to concentrate at Cologas | & great depot for ths sale of cottoa, trom which to supply the epioners and manufacturers of Prussia, Austria aad Switzerland. I bave reason to believe that Bolgium wilt pasticipate in this banking compasy,as also in the cotton affair, Under such a pressure of competition Hollaria can- not remain an idle sp2ctator. prise, we may be sure she will in some measure joia the ague. before stated, the trade of ths cotton States of America is now looked upon on the Continent as the reat outlets for enterprise. To my personal knowledge there are now organized throughout the South several important committees, having their ramifivations from South Carolinato Texas. The firat effort in the way of export will be after the manner of the Leipsic fairs in Germany, as lately put into practice in Boston. Tae in: formation from Cincinnati continues to be favorabie to the policy of free trade with the Continent of Europe, Our direct trade friends in the South are fully determined to eo their measure to the end by every falr and honor- able combination, Free trade with Germany represents 80 large an interest in the Northwest, and direct trade with the Continent of Europe represents 89 large an interest at the South, thata combination must take piace at Washlag- ton upon the first move to alter the tariff. Referring to the reasons given in my last letter, this meagure of free trade with Germany and the other Uontineutal States docs not involve any competition with American industry. On the contrary, it means reciprocity. Mr. Boyce, of South Caro- lina, is in favor of eo adjusting the tariff, when laid for pur. poses of revenue, as to increase the consumption of those articles which are xo} of the growth or manufacture of the United States and in the direction of free trade with those countries which are not in competition with America either in industry, in imperial policy, or political aata- Notwithstanding these peace movements, warlike infu- ences continue to affect the political mind of Europe. Tac nomination, by a journal lately established in Italy, of Prince Napoleon as a claimant for royal power is badly received here. “However unfortunate this news may be,” says a Brussels paper, ‘it does not surpriee us. -We are, on the contrary, much astonished that it has not been announced sooner.” Every one finds in this last act the revival of another ‘imperial tradition” relating to ‘the kingdom of Etruria, founded in 1801, for the princes of , Children of the first Duke of Parma, sad who reigned only six years. In 1809 Napoleon gave fuscany, which bad formed three French departments from the the 1807, to his sister Eliza Bacchiochi, with the title of rand Duchess of Tuscany. It is believed by many that Napoleon wishes to revive this tradition in the person of bis cousin. J do not credit the rumor, heoausy ty Go ao would be to look forward toa renewal of the overlospiog ambition of bis uncle. The Sardinian journals neverthe- less confirm the rumor, and state that the Italiano, the journal established under the the Prince, the public mind in favor ie epgaged preparing of Prince Napoleon's claims. One of the letters which refers to this affair mentions two pieces of news ag an spoendin oe that affairs are taking a seri- ous turn in tho "and at Modena requiring Freach intervention, and that the meetings of the plenepoten- tiaries at Zurich are not essing barmonioualy. You will receive, no doubt, by other sources of infor- mation, the rews that the serious disagreement between Prussia and Austria has been attended with grave conse- quences at Frankfort. .A conflict took place in the streets of that city between two bodies of Prussian and Austrian troops, numbering about 500 men. fhere were some Bavarian soldiers among the Ausirians. Private ad- vices say that the agitation in both armics is very great. I atiude to the matter simply as a question of evidence in favor of the position advanced heretofore, that the next serious complication in Europe would occur between Prussia and Austria, and that France was eeeking by a commercial policy on the Rhine to gain an influence in Germany, in addition to her “ al- liance of force’’ with Austris. The fortification of Antwerp is ® measure which ob- tains, through peculiar circumstances, an unusual sigal- ficance in diplomatic circles, for reasons which I will give you, AS you are aware, the neutrality of Balgium is guaranteed by all the great Powers, and in a particular manner by Great Britain, The manufacturing resources of Belgium,,its raitway connection with all central Europe, with the possesion of Antwerp, render this country of necessity the centre of that modern movement in thought, literature, industry and commerce which finds in England «certain amount of sympathy. Then, the Kiog of the Belgians is the uncle of Queen Victoria. The heir to the tnrone, the Duke of Brabant, is married to a sister of the Emperor of Austria. The only daughter of King Leopold is the wife of the Prinse Maximilian, brother of Francis Joseph; and hence grows up a family influence which, under ordinary circumstances, would be capabie of creating quite a court syatem but for the good sense of King Leopold and the liberal tendencies of the Bal- gian royal family. Queen Victoria owes much of} her popularity to the King of Belgium: As her uncle, in whose character and seuse the young Queen had naturally the greatest confidence, the instructions of the King did much to form her princi- ples. He used this influence in England, as he bas used it in Austria and Belgium, in favor of liberal government. Ia England the result is seen in the universal respoot enter- tained by the people for their sovereign; in Belgium it may be seen in institutions which, in their freedom, make this mg! already what John Bright ia attempting to make England. In Austria, however, the enlightened views of the Prince Maximilian and the beautiful character of hie wife could not resist the chronic stupidity of the Vienna school. Now, the fortification of Antwerp would not be undertaken by so wise a Court, with tne influence of England on the one hand and the example of Austria on the other, without some deep and well considered cause. I do not feel at liberty to divulge what I know dh this subject; but you must not be warprised if, a few months hence, I hes hear of a firm alliance between Prus- sia and England to guarantee the neutral rights 0! Belgiam. On the day that such « treaty is signed will be marked tho division between Austria and Prussia.

After the violent attacks of the Vienna papers upon this country, and the bitter terms in which it has bees spoken of in official documents emanating from the Emperor of Austria himself, you will be surprised to hear that the impérial Cabinet is suddenly evincing an earnest desire to let bygones be bygones and to come to a better under, ‘standing with Prussia than has prevailed of late years, especially since the mysterious compact of Villafranca, next step in his career—that is, the practical realization ©f the continental policy of the 1st Napoleon, For this Purpose he again follows the traditions of the em- pire, and accepts the Berlin and Milan decrees as the ‘basis of tho Continental commercial league, As J said in my ast, thi b Sercial alliasce based cosy PCy indicates @ *com- results among {he Ttattan rst ANticipated, danger has completely silenced Fivairies which have always heretofore of the failure of the Ttniiee triumphant march of the Alljed army Tule was considered over, wild ding their the potty jen. were the Phe this “division of was left in the rear the of comenting in a i mation the a oe Gt lay, every point unt Cavour’s infil failed to reconcile these conflictin; rations, and Marin and his pi > ta 4 were clandestinely turning the ‘wistorion of France into the tesa of = polar revorstion, ‘when jo! the sudden pence between ‘two Emperors Tae gottlement of the questio vezatio about the garrigoning of the federal fortress of Ramadt may be considered as Y Sret proot of this concilistory disposition, For » long time Austria refused to acknowledge the right of Prussia to furnish her quota to the garrison, alleging that the fortress being situated in the south of Germany (Grand Duchy of Baden), the geographical posi- tion of this country would not admit of her | financial pros] contributing to its defence; now, however, it hag been arranged that Prussia is to supply a contingent equal to that of Austria and Baden, and to appoint the Governor of the fortress alternately with tne former Power.

Meanwhile the petty sovercigns of Germany are hasteu- ‘wg to make their peace witn the Frevch autocrat, whom their ministers, in the vebemence of their zeal for Austria and the Pope, have been using quite ungenteelly, not ently encouraging their wuzzied Legis!atures and their gagged press to indu’ge in the most violent invectives ‘againat him, but writing long-winded diplomatic notes, ia ich bis re was criticized in very undiplomatic lan- guage, aud believing ina wordas if, by doslaring war Lo at) the Kaiser, he had become ipso facto iavolved in mortal combat with the entire German fatherland.

Tre King of Pruesia’s health, which bad no’ been im- proved by his joarney south, !s getting wors® and worse, ‘and it is thought be cannot last much iopger. Ono Sunday he was seized witha fit, and only restored to animation by copious bleeding; but if he should have another auch attack the consequences may be tatal. His eyesight, too, is very bad; indeed, mentally and physically he iga more wreck. He continues to reside at Potsdam in compiete seclusion and almost forgotten by bis subjects, by whom his demise would scarcely be noticed and very littie re- gretted, except that it wo have the effect aes stop for a time to ail ae amusements, which would make the city of rlin still duller than usual, and be a severe privation to its pleagure-loving inhabitanta, One of hig favorite servanta, M de Revaner, formerly Minister of Public Instruction in the Mantenffsl Cabinet, expired the other day after a short ilinces, in his fifty fourth year, of a cold ht on a summer excursion to the mountains of Silesia, a8 which bton a dysentery. Altogether, town is not very bealihy just now, ap Lb dally among children, the mortality is excessive. Tondeuiand that the American Minister, Mr. Wright, has received from the Prince Regent @ full pardon for Francis A. Hoffman, a native of this country now in trouble at Chicago, Mlinois. Mr. Hoffman left Prussia when he was twenty years of age, without performing his military duty. Having occasion to return some time since on private business, judgment was taken acsinst him, and he was sentenced to a considerable fine, to which added imprisonment. Tho Prussian authori- tien have shown their Sense and good feeling by remitting all this, and Mr. Hoffman will not be subjected to apy further molestation. You are probably aware that tale gentleman is quite a prominent citizen of Illinois, hss been 4 member of the State Legislature, and was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor at the last election. It is stated in the Zribune that no less than a dozen na- turalized American citizens are serving at the present moment in the Prussian army; but from the inquiries I bave made IJ am satisfied that this isa mistake. I rather think the cage of Christian Ernst, of Hanover, is stirring up thege old governments to do their duty, ‘In addition they see mentioned in the American papers, I learn from undoubted authority that Ernst was arrested forcibly by the, Haneyerian auihorities, thoogh claiming to be an American citizen and exhibiting his passport, which they took trom him, together with $160 in money, and confined him for several nights in a prison with crimi- nals before he was placed in the army. I trust the United States Minister at Berlin, who has taken his case in hand, will succeed in having him righted in spite of the delay and procrastination 20 characteristic of German bureaucracy, with which he has to contend. If industry ‘and close application can do the work it will be accom- plighed, Governor Wright being thoroughly in earneet on the subject of full protection to all our citizens, whether native born or adopted. In fact, this is a question in which the bonor of the country is concerned, and its re- sult will show whether the name of an American citizen reality or vex et praterea nihil. I must observe, how- ever, that it depends entirely upon the energy of the United States government to have It decided in conformity with their wishes and with the dictates of justice and common sense; for if Hanover, and for that matter, Prussia too, are given distinctly to understand that Geno- ral Cass is determinei to act up to his professions, they will yield the point at once, and not run the risk of a breach which would be fatal te the trade and prosperity of their dominions, ~ Our Lisbon Correspondence.

The great event which now wholly takes up public at- tention is the sudden and unexpected demise ot Her Ma- Jesty the Queen Consort, Dons Estephanis, who died on the 17th Inst, the day after completing her twenty-second year. She was only married fourteen montbs ago to H. M. Don Pedro, who has felt her ioss very severely, as they lived very happily together and were much reapested and beloved by all parties. The Queon received a aun stroke while accompanying the king on some experiments with @ newly invented rifled cannon, and never recovered afterwards. Her funeral took place on the 2ist, with much pomp and state, All the military and public authorities accompanied the procession in their carriages, from the Palace of Necessidades to the Cathe- dral church of St. Vincents, and depuiations from all the Public associations, and the commercial body, took rank in the procession, on foot, bearing lighted wax torches in their hands. Among these took a prominent pari all the foreign merchants, principally English, with their Vice Congul at the head, At the Cathedral of St, Vinoents, the diplomatic corps, tn full dress, attended, and had seats reserved for them. ‘When the body arrived at the church the coffin wae taken charge of (an old established privilege) by the Brotherhood of Mercy,and carried on their shoulders to the middle of | the church, where some prayers wore recited by them. This brotherhood was etablished two centuries ago for supplying gratuitous burial to the poor, and have this privilege of first carrying the bodies of the sovereigns to the church.

The great event of the week has been the inauguration to the commercial service of the Great Eastern steamship by ® grand party, dinner and ball, given on board by the directors and builder of the “great ship.”? As I was one of the “ elect” on the happy occasion, I shall try and give you some idea of my impressions, though language framed by me will utterly fail to give you or your readers a clear conception of this marvellous work. ‘The Great Eastern has been described, pictured, written about, visited and marvelled at, ag a great‘show,” a some" thing to see, as people in acountry village look at a learned pig or a two-headed calf. Now, the building of this ship is a commercial transaction, and it is impossible to calculate the influence and bearing that it may bave on thefuture commerce of the world. If she prove a finan- cial, as ehe unquestionably has a mechanical success, then we may expect several more just like her, or nearly as large. Some papers, among them the London Times, pre- dicted a speed, or the ability to run, of over twenty miles an hour, That I doubt, As she sits on the water now, her paddle floats are fairly dipped in the water and there is no loading on board, either cargo or coals’ Put twelve or fifteen thousand tons of dead weight in her’ and she will sink some nine to twelve feet deeper in the water, and then her paddies will be altogether too deep for good service—at least that is my impression. A triay trip, however, or a single voyage, will decide this and many other matters. When a stranger firs} walka into St. Peter’s church, at Rome, he feela a momentary disappointment because it Is not as large aa he anticipated. Much of this is occasion- 6d, no doubt, by the admirable proportion of everything— the statues, particularly, these being generally thirty or forty feet in height and just about as large in proportion to the size of the vast nave as ordinary ste. ues or Livigg persons are to ordinary churches ‘The spectator forgets to compare the living people on the floor with the vast expanse of some four hundred feet over head, and the Immense space and area on every side. But on the Great Eastern ship it is very different, and one’s ideas of magnitude are more than realized. The rooms and cabins between decks look Uke town halls; the pas- gages like streets, and the whole like a large town or city, There is no single saloon or cabin as large in proportion to the size of the vessel as you see on an ordinary ocean steamer. It would be bad policy, and a waste of space and money to make them #0. The principal saloon is finished and furnished in a atyle of great elegance, the decorations being both rich and chaste; the colors, principally white and gold, enlivened with red, Pink and salmon. The height is fifteen feet, giving one the idea of lofty room in a palace or public hall, I be- Keve {t {s not over eighty feet in length by forty in width, and in reply to a question I put Mr. Scott Russell, the builder, he said it would accommodate about one hundred and fifty persons at dinner; but bear in mind there are several other cabins and saloons nearly as large. When we come to consider that a vessel must be built with great strength, and that choice, convenience or accident often renders the occupation of some particular room or part of a ship inconvenient or impossible, we shall at once see the policy of dividing and sub-dividing the room and resources of @ vessel like this into nu- merous compartments. Put as large @ proportion of this ship into one long saloon, as you see in other yes- sels, and it would not be ao agreeable; it would be more noisy, not easily kept at a good temperature, and in case of accident to this one apartment, passeligert would be without adequate protection or comfort. The Great Eastern is about fifteen feet between decks, « Joftiness of ceiling that many would consider useless. It, however, serves this purpose: The distance is, in many Places, divided into two “stories”? by an intermediate floor, giving two tiers of staterooms between the two decks. But to comprehend the immense size of the ship, one must go on the main deck, and kere is one vast area that can be compared to nothing but iteelf, There is no poop, no “house on deck,” and nothing to break the grand promenade,,save the six or seven masts, the smoke stacks, the siair cages to the cabins, and the sky ligh's. Mr. Ruseell says—standing on one of the paddle boxes— “Here I command the entire ship.” From that stand Point every foot of deck is seen except the very shadow of the masts and chimnesy; and the wave of the hand can be seen by steersmsn or any officer on watch, on uy of the deck. Go on to the bridge between the paddle boxes, and look towards the bow, and you fee @ space and extent equal to that of the entire length of avery Jarge steamer—nearly 250 feet~and then turn your eye towards the stern and you have double the dis- tance in that direction, the entire length of the deck being little short of 700 feet, the width being, if I remember rightly, over 80 feet. Your country lers will appre- Glate the expanse of deck ag about an acre of gurface—or 160 square rods—stretched out into ‘a long oval, haifa quarter of @ mile, or 40 rods in length. A steamer was passing down Thames bound ona foreign voyage, and gome one svpg out: ‘Mr. Russell, that eteamer would just about make a long boat for your ship.” And sure ‘enough it looked ag if it could be hung in the davite over the side, and not be out of proportion to the size of the monster craft, It is only in connection with vast masses of human be- ings that the enormous magnitude of this abip can be seen, There were on the day of the festival—day before on 2,600 peraons on board. When nearly a thousand had ered together for a dance on the after part of the deck it was not one-third covered, and there was plenty of room to move around and through the immense assembly. Over head was an awning lite- rally covering about a half an acre of space, and you may picture to yourself the large band ‘of the Royal Ar- tillery in their glittering uniforms, the gay and expansive dresses of the iadies, with several hundred movin; figures in the enlivening dance, and teil me, ft if there ever was another such scene first became an architect, and emerged from- caves, woody tents and mud hus. I have crossed the ocean many times in the largest steamers now running. I have visited all of Paxton’s glass houses, stood on the highest minarets of Milan ca- thedral, crawied up to the tiny ball that overtops the dome of St. Poter’s at Rome, scaled the lofty spire of Sixasburg, and, I believe, seen the grandest monaments of man’s architectural skill built in modern times; but ‘no work of human hands that I have looked at comes up to this. Iean conceive that money and skill and labor could build up these fron walls; but when I go down to the engine rooms and see the ponderous machi that obeys the lightest touch, and makes the whole mass Mike a living creature— Walking the waters like « thing of life, my tind fails to comprehend the achievement.

Miramon’s Minister of Finance, a schoolboy, gave his “plan de hacienda,” which amounts to the following points:—1. Imposing upon the Mexican republic an annual contribution of thirty millions (not one third of which republic, nor one-eighth, owns the sway of his master), to ‘be paid one-third in cash and two-thirds in paper money! 2. For this purpose he creates eighty millions of this pa- per money, compelling people to exchange the old for the new iasue, Here I must atate that the old paper is good and retog- nized, and sells all over the country at 8 to 10 per cent, or say at @ discount of 92 to 90 per cent. The new emis- sion, of which some came out a short time ago, not only ells at 4 per cent, or say 96 per cent discount, in the do- minions of Miramon, but is utterly valuciess in all the territory occupied by the liberals, a law of the legal Presi- dent baying declared it a forgery. The result has been that within a very fow days this financial wonder gave up all 2's plan, even stopping the printing of the paper money, and is now at @ loss what to do, ag he has not « dollar to give to Miramon; and so his short career is at an end; and I must confess that, of all men of no talent at all this republic has had for financiers, this one {s the most ridiculous, and only deserves pity. By this time the newspapers of all countries must be fo full of the crimes of Mr. Otway that hopes are enter- tained that merchants, petitioners, the reports of nava; commanders, and the glaring facts which cannot be contra. dicted, will insure at last his punishment and that of Lord Malmesbury. He publicly boasts that Malmesbury wrote to him approving entirely of his conduct in r pro- tection to American citizens. Miramon, if he can enly Lark Bh mre the money (and he will get itas long as a dollar is left in the pocket of any foreigner) will be down here before that time, and this time he will’ take our city, as we shall have neither men nor money to defend it. How they will proceed again in Mextso with respect to raising funds you may conceive by what Robles is doing; and let me tell you, that at Orizaba the commanding General forces the Cily Council to pay him $500 a day and furnish 700 soldiers, or go to themselves.

Pat fs believe that any merchant can remain on his legs if such unheard of rooberies continue? And they will and must continue; there is no force within this republic to put a to them. The liberal party has not the slightest energy or concert of action, and although they give emart and liberal decrees (such ag the last one mak- ing marriage & contract), still that does rot settle the matter, and nothivg will settle it—and its most devoted and staunch defenders and supporters are convinced of it toa man—but troops and ee the United States, Do not say that the United es government cannot move in the matter; itcan, by permitting respectable par- ties to advance the money, and then they will look out for decent leaders, who can pick out men to suit them, and settle matters at once, But do not let them try to con- men on their own hook in the seaports, as we are told Vidaurri is doing at New Orleans; for then, no doubt, he will only obtain rabble and such kind of people, as no Seta teens eee .

Affairs here are growing more complicated each day. Juarez has actually mounted his high horse and is oarrying his reforms through with avim. Everything seems to be im transition, and yet nopody feels any better. The Church property bas been seized in this city, confisonted, and is now advertised for sale. The mortgaged property is advertiaed for redemption. It appears that the entire property belonging to the Church in this State, so far taken posseasion of, amounts to the sum of $604,702 ‘This is buta tithe, as a matter of course; for all the State, particularly the districts of Jalapa, Orizaba and Cordova, are not under the dominion of the government at present, and this section of the State has not been visited. Moxioo ia thus in a fair way to acquire some money If she goes on as she has commenced; and this is altogether probable, for the other side will force her todo so. There is no es- cape now from a fearful fight, and that will end the srife ‘Detween the people and the Oburch and army. In w military point ‘of view things promise largely. I have come into possession of one or two counterpleis ‘which enable me to speak rather knowingly about the fu- ture designs of the chieftains who have so often threst- ened to save the country, and who have kepi their faith by running the nation further down the hill than ever, When Gen. Degoliado first put foot into this place, after his isgraceful flight from Mexico, where he was astually swindled out of a victory, be wasa firm believer in tae virtue of asking for American ald. How he got that idea outof his head I have also told you; and now I must tell you of another idea which has taken up its abode im the ‘Miniater’s conceits. He says that if Juarez will raise him three millions of dollars, and will not burthea him with any Yankees, he will rally forty thousand Moxicans around her standard and lay the capital at his feet by the Ist of October. : Santa Appa could not have made grander promise, and Samia Anna would not baye pales A by eae thousand men more than jollado will.

Gen. Zuazua thinks the army of the North will muster It is probable that he 4,600 infantry and 1,600 cavalry. can raise a force of 16,060 or 20,000 men ich to commence the campaign. Degoliado has taken great of- fence at the idea of recruiting soldiers for bis army in the ‘United States; end I do not blame him, for apart from the general danger to Mexico from such a ion, the Fene- ral’s individual status would be.considerably razeed. Since I last wrote, and in conformity with the Lapis adopted in his manifesto, Juarez has published his other decrees, one of which establishes new marriage condi- tions, and relieves the priests of the matrimonial mono- po'y. The other creates an office of civil registers, where the birth, parentage, adoption and death of are tobe recorded The fathers that mothers may claim for their children are also to be registered. In the m: ser- vice no male can marry under fourteen and no femala under twelve. Betweon these ages and twenty aad twenty one’ respectively they cannet marry without Parental consent.

Marquez is said to have yielded, It is known, however, that Marquez pretty much as he pleated in Guadalajara, and whea Miramon’s famous proclamation reached him, he tore it up and immediately issued another which was ultra-con- servative. The fact is Miramon is hastening to his end, and the sooner the church: party elect Marquez or recalt Santa Anna, the better it will be for them.
