Jt is asserted, however, that their assets ‘will be sufficient to cover the whole, although not imme diately available. The Liverpoo! ost of the 15th instant remarks: ‘The Czar is now at Warsaw, and commands a personal Soterview with his representatives at the different conti. mental courts. He does not like in great affairs to be con- sidered nobody. mperor of the French is by this time at one of his palaces; and next week, we are in formed, Prince Napoleon will be in London. Eee a decisive action on the affairs of Italy, and no bt Louis Napoleon is anxious to relieve bis mind trom the perplexities of his relationship to Austria. ‘The London Post observes:— ‘The spirit-strring address of Garibaldi, telling the Malians to prepare for new struggies, may be the first trumpet note of a greater struggle than ever he antici gated 8 struggle between the oldest and the strongest potism which the world bas ever seen; a despotism ‘whose foundations are laid in the human conscience, and all the individual, social, national and religious forces with which now , more than ever, it is in conflict. ‘The St. Petersburg Gazette announces that Count Moura. ‘wie Amourskii, Governor General of Eastern Siberia, left Nikolaevsk, on the Amoor, on board a Russian war Steamer, for the Japanese port of Khakodalé, where he arrived on the 23d June. After visiting Toula and Orel the Emperor of Russia Proceeded to Kiefl, where he was to make a short stay, and then proceed to Warsaw direct. While at Toula his ‘Majesty visited the extensive manufactory of arms there, mleo the museum, which contains specimens of all the , Brms made there since its foundation in 1712, as well as * @he first modeis made after the drawings of Peter the ‘Great. It is stated that, notwithstanding the capture of Scha- yl, the Caucasus is far from being entirely subdued. ‘The Invalide Russe announces that the mountaineers have another chief, named Mahomed Amin, not less intrepid gnd fanatical than Schamy], and who may still resist one ‘or two winters. The Russian army in the Caucasus, ‘which is composed of 60,000 men, cannot be reduced for ome time to come. Om the 8th of October there arrived at Algeciras a French fleet of four line-of-battle ships and three steam sloops-of-war, supposed to be sent on account of the ‘wouble between Spain and Morocco, as there was very Little probability of its@eing settled amicably. ‘The cholera made its appearance among the Spanish troops, destined for the army in Africa, and now quarter- ed at Algeciras, on the opposite side of the bay. All ves: pels and boats from that place were subject to, strict quar. ‘antine for five days. ‘The French Moniteur de UV Armée, of the 12th inst., haz- ‘ards the following singular statement, in its summary of India and China news :— ‘It was proposed to the soldiers of the European (Eng- Yuh) corps who had demanded to return to Europe that they should contract a special engagement for the cam- in China, which is about tocommence. These men refused, but they were given to understand that they ‘would fight as allies of the French: and this consideration sppeared to strike them. By the last accounts, it was thought at Calcutta that their acceptance would ‘be con- ‘tingent on what France should do, they having the most evtire confidence in her. Our London Correspondence. Lowpon, Oct. 14, 1859. Domestic Politics of the Great Eastern—Dinners in Honor Of the Returned Arctic Explorers— Another Eapedition Talked of —Lady Franklin, dc., dc. ‘There appears to be a hard scuffle between Chairman Campbell, of the Great Eastern Steamship Company, and Captain Harrison, the former having manifested an in- lination to oust the latter from his command, on the plea ‘of his being to blame for the recent mutiny of part of the ‘erew, and the general disorder of the big ship. We shall mextexpect the chairman to blame the Captain for the Yamentabdle explosion. The fact is, the vessel has of late ‘been more like a booth at a fair than anght else, and the ‘Teal reason of this hostility arises from two causes:— When a woman's in the case, All else must give place. J plain terms, Captain Harrison lately expressed, in pretty severe language, his indignation at himself and wife being asked to Chairman Campbell’s house to meet a lady whose reputation is somewhat damaged by her ac- ‘Quaintance with said Campbell; hence cause N. 1. ‘The second cause arises from Captain Harrison's manly ‘and straightforward bearing vis-a-vis of Mr. Scott Russell and bis party, touching donkey engines, the explosion and sundry defects yet to be discussed by the public in the mammoth ship. Captam McClintock is now the London hero, being feted and dined by our first men of the navy, science, litera- Yure and old friends. Amongst the latter he was last week entertained at dinner by Mr. W. R. Martwell, at ‘whose house there were assembled to meet him three Arc- tic celebrities, Captains Osborn, Young and Hobson, with Meesrs. J. H.’Dillon, Cornelius Grinnell, @ampbell, T. F.

Chappell, Lucagy Quallett, Mackay, Doctors King, Hawkesley and Joy, Major Sibley, Captain Forbes, (R. N.,) Lieutenant ‘Beaton and Commodore Arcedeckne. ‘Some evenings af- ferwards a regular arctic dinner took place at the Thatch- ed Honse Tavern. The following list of those present wil be acceptable to those who (like Mr. Henry Grinnell), have taken, and still fee! a strong interest in the Franklin expedition.

Band, she will be the first to come forward with a band- some subscription towards any expedition for further re- search, for the public here are anxious for more particu- lars, and some even cling to the hope that there are sur- vivors still of the ill-fated Franklinites.

I closed my letter last week so abruptly that I remem- ‘ber indistinctly whete it ended. Let me see. Iwas just ented, I believe, at table with Captain Harrison, hia Pretty wife, their guest, Mrs. La—, and her lovely daugh- ter, a girl of blushing fifteen} just budding into womanhood. A ice party anywhere, but aboard of the Great Fastern, of a bright afternoon, with a good dinner sefore me and a ran over ‘the ship to follow it, why it wig enough to make any one feel jolly, and sol gave way'o the Pleasant sensa- tions of the moment, and ate and chittod and drank wine al) round as if I had never done such » thing before, but certainly never with a greater relish, Tt was Thursday, and the “big ship” wis to leave Wey- mouth on Saturday morning, and consequently there was athonsand and one things to be done. twas pretty evident that Captain Harrison was the bead anj front of | NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27. 1839.—TRIPLE SHERT. — everything on board the Great Eastern, for noboiy seemed able to get on without him. Every mornent during the dinner somebody came in with an ‘Tuxcuse me, Captain, Dut,and a fpeper was presented to bo signed, or hig diregtions were asked as to bow this or that was to be done, The persecuted comny.nder made desperate efforts to his part of host, and rather than have the amenity of bis table disturbed., he apologized frequently, and bolted out of the saloon "with a lot of offt- cials at his heels, Returning, he would take up his knife and fork again, and renew the interer ting account of somo incident of the late explosion, when the same interruption would break in, till, at last, begging me to take his place, and cut up the pheasants, and %e civil tothe ladies, he resigned himself to his fate, gave up his dinner, and left Us for the last time, “Jt is paying rather dear for the glory of commanding the Great Eastern,’ I remarked, ‘to be obliged to aban- don such birds as these. Shall I help you to a wing?” “Then you think,” said Mrs. H. smiling archly, ‘‘it is harder for the captain to run away from a pheasant ,thin from tis company, t@ say nothing of his wife.’’ ‘By no means,” Lstammered out. ‘‘What did I say?” and I woke up freas my unconscious homage to the splen- did game before me. There was one thing that struck me forcibly amid the repeated assaults upon Captain flar- rison’s pationoe, that he took them as quietly as a target does balls, showing the utmost impassability, giving his replies and orders with a coolness, precision, and above all a civility,)that proved to my mind that he was the right man in the right place. Dinner over, 1 strolled out, upon deck with the ladies, where I met the captain hurrying by. “Sorry to be so rude,” said: he, ‘but here’s a glorious segar—e present from New York.”” “May your shadow never be less,” I-replied, taking the proffered luxury. “Now, my man, if you want to get a glimpse of the ship there's no time to be lost; it is getting dark, and there are no lights below. My quarters you have seen, except the bedroom and bath room—here they are. I followed Capt. H— into the appartments mentioned, and for elegance and comfort they were equal to anything in the Everett House. “7 have u’t time to go down stairs with you,” continued the Captain, as rapid in words as movements, “but here's my steward, Dan, who will show you all the wonders.”’ “Many thanks,” I was going to say, but the captain was out of hearing. ‘Now, Dan, take me to the grand saloon, 1 want to see what’s left of it.”” 1 descended a wide stair case, like some of the lights in the new Capitol, and ina minute more I was in the midst of a lofty, spacious apartment, like a hall in a parlace, but up to my knees in shavings and surrounded by carpenters. I looked round rather bewildered, but Dan began his func- Uons as a Cicerone. ‘<All the mirrors was Smashed except them two fastened in the wall. The floor was all blowed up just here~—all these ere pillars was carried away.” “Not these, surely, Dan, The gilding is too fresh and bright?” “No, sir, I means them that was here.”” “Was this blown away,” I asked, pointing to one end of the saloon of solid oak. ‘* No, sir,” said Dan, slowly, as if sorry to admit that anything was stronger than the explosion; ‘but these staircases all dropped just like nothing into the hold below, yowkg lady had just got to the top and fell forward on the leck.”” It was getting darker every moment, 801 bid my pilot to push on hastily. From the grand ealoon I passed into the dining room, filled with long mahogany tables, run- ning abreast each other, and more than I could stop to count. It looked like a superb banquetting hall, and re- minded me of the Egyptian saloon in the Lord Mayor's city mansion. “Now, Dan,” I exclaimed, ‘show me some of the state rooms, quick, or it wiil be too dark to see them.” “Here you are sir,’ and he led me into a charming private parlor, with a table in the centre, and bedrooms adjoining. This struck me as the beau ideal of sea travelling. Just think of a small party of congenial souls having their own private room and table while crossing the Atlantic, instead of being jammed into a crowd of a hundred people you don’t know and can’t like, and obliged to sit stil! at dinner till the mob disperse that you may creep out into the open air. This private parlor thoroughly captivated me, and threw into the shade all the contrivances for comfort that modern invention has introduced into such ships as the Arago and the Persia. One of the greatest annoyances in crossing the Atlan- tic, now-a-days, is living the live long day in the full blaze of everyboay’s inspection. A person must love publicity ag a fish does water, not to tire of this perpetual scrutiny. You might as well bea picture hanging in public gallery as pags two weeks in an Atlantic steamer, for everybody does nothing else than stare at and com- ment on each other. What a refuge to fly to must be this private parlor aboard the Great Kastern. Happy the na- bob who can buy it up for himself and friends. I over- stayed my time indulging in these reflections and contem- plating the attractions of this pretty boudoir. The shades of night thickened so fast that I had need of the constant aid of my escort to grope my way safely along. “Inst hook in here, sir,” said Dan, throwing open the door of a state room leading into the grand saloon. ‘What's the, use,” I answered, ‘1 can’t see any- thing.” “Well, sir, it was in that ‘ere very rushed in with little Edith, the captain’ boiling steam filled the saloon.” “What presence of mind.” “Yes,” continued Dan, ‘‘nothing saved ’em but that She bolted in and closed the door, and when she hoard the captain’s voice came ont, and he passed ’em right up through the skylight without saying a word, no more as if it was any body else’s child he was a handling.” “He was all captain then, Dan,” I exclaimed, “and had no time to play father.” «Just so, sir,’’ was Dan’s appreciatory response. With that I came ont upon deck again, and was seized with a new sensation of wonderment. The moon, mean- while, had risen, and in its soft bewitching light the Great Fastern looked ‘more like a thing of mid-air, if there,be such things, than of the ocean. ‘Can't ’scribe it,” as the negro preacher said when he found his eloquence unable to cope with the splendors of Paradise. It was, indeed, a magical sight, with all its surroundings—that juvenile mountain, already mentioned, overhanging the village of Portland; the magnificent breakwater; the town of Weymouth, with a long line of glittering lights running the entire length of its extensive esplanade, to say nothing of several line-of-battle ships lying in'tho harbor, carrying large eparkling Janterns fore and aft to indicate their position. 1 gazed at each phase of this dio- rama in turn, and was finally compelled to light my segar to puff away my acute sense of the sublime and beauti- ful, which was taking too much of my mind. Walking asterh I met the ladies promenading in the moonlight 1 joined the group and tried t» explain in what a violent manner I had been affected by all I bad seen and felt. Mrs. H— listened with polite attention; but I could not help suspecting that this aimable lady had already under- gone such repeated broadsides of astonishment and de- light from everybody she had encountered that it was only civil to spare her as much as possible, so 1 suddenly closed the valve upon my expanding emotions. As we were walking up and down a@ portion only of the quar- ter deck, I espied a man heres | close up against a pedestal in brass, some six feet high and wide in propor- tion. He was mounted on a stool. He seemed quite absorbad in gazing alternately at the top of the brass pillar and the heavens above. His attitude was so motionless, and his attention so rapt, that I thought be was inwardly rumi- nating on the destiny of the Great Eastern, and seeking to read in the planets above the fate that awaits her. If he is not an astrologer can he be a somnambulist walking in dreamland. Nobody seemed to observe him, which puzzied me the more as I began to think J was endowed with second sight. Giving rein to my curiosity I asked, “What in the world is that man about,” pointing to the silent figure that kept raising and dropping its head like a Chinese mandarin. ‘Oh, it is only Mr. Gray, of Liverpool,” said Mrs. H——, ‘who is regulating that splendid chronometer of his by the stars.” It is strange what a simple thing can perplex us some- times by moonlight. Not long after the captain came up, saying he had a few minutes at his disposal; we started off for a walk and a talk on matters and things in genoral. We had not got fairly under way when agruff voice shouted near us, ‘All ready, sir.” “That’s the mail boat,’” room the nurse 's child, when the said the captain, “and you will not take a berth with us you must be stirring.” “Many thanks,” I "replied, “but I havo the last train. romized to return to Southampton b; With profuse bem pty Spb to my Iset about descendin; jost and hostess ry the same series of ladders to the very depths of Great Eastern. ‘“ Show a light there, below,” were the captain’s last words. ‘: Ayo, aye, sir,” responded ready Jack, and by the aid of a relay of Janterns I found my way to the porthole where I had entered, and thence descended still lower to the wheel guard of the little steamer waiting for us. When I got upon her deck I tarned round and looked up at the Leviathan I had just quitted. Though the last, it was not the least of the shocks, as I may call them, J had that day received from my cursory view of the Great «Eastern. moon was still shining its best and J felicitated myself, as I sut down, upon still another sensation in surveying the pro- portions of thie methegarium of the heayens as our |ittle vessel receded from her in crossing the bay. What was my Surprise to discover in a moment, that we were roll. ing, tumbling and pitching about in a fashion to remind me, old galt asl was, that J was still mortal, aud a sudden conviction came over fimo that I had eaten rather too heartily. For very shame, I would not throw away my segar, hut I quietly ceased smoking it. I looked at the Great Eastern, that seemed as unconscious of move- ment as the island beyond it, but all the admiration I had intended to bestow upon her was forestalled by a giddi- ness that made me moralize upon the mutability of hu- man conditions. ‘This ludicrous change from the back of an clephant, ag it were, to that of a rocking horse, de- monstrated irresistibly all the difference at sea between a large veeselaud a small one. To sup that the Great Eastern will never roll {is an absurdity, for the Atlantic, when ly aroused would toss abont a continent: but it is equally certain that when such steamers as the Cunarders are vainly struggling in the rough embrace of the angry sea-god, the Great Eastern would move ma- jeatically by wondering what ailed them. ‘As we went wheezing and st ring along, 1 got into convergation with a gentleman been introduced to |. He was the engineer of the Great the place of the unfortunate Bru- referred to the launch of the ities that attended it. “Yes,” he said, “it was an unfortunate affair. Mr. Prunel’s death dates from that period, The anxiety and Inbor, consequent upon that trying ordeal, broke bim down.” “Why did he check the ship,” I asked, “when she was once ander way?” “To prevent the most serions consequences,’ he re. led, “The workmen were seized with such emotion { to see the vast fabric that many of them let go the breaks, and she would have gone into the river with such velocity as to have drowned the thousands who covered, its surface, and perhaps, to have endangered her- ae “Did r hear of the 9?

She left Portland on Saturday last, de- scended the British channel, made a curtesy to the ocean, and ascending St. George’s channel anchored off Holyhead. ‘The only positive result of the experiment is that she Koper prompt fifteen miles per hour at half spee. ‘What she do at full speed was not ascertained from an accident to the valve of one of her cylinders. It is pretty evident that tho vessel was not ia proper trim o make a@ trip that weuld be conclusive as to her speed. Then, why did she make it all? To answer this question it will be necessary to ex- plain that several rival cliques are atrugeling for the control of the Great Fastern, until these are got ri of mismanagement must be the result. Foremost amongst these is Scott Russell, the builder of the ship, bat he went out of his province when he undertook to supply her with steam engines. The fatal accident which occurred on the Thames arose from his obstinate adherence to his own theories in the face of experience, and his later ellorts to evade responsibility have not saved him from public cen- sure. Clique No. 2 is represented by Mr. Campbel), manager of the cue. is individual is one of that classof speculators, , able, and not over conscientious, which abound in London and New York. He has pushed himn- self to the head of this Cinema and has achieved a consequent notoriety favorable to {s various schemes, as ‘well as gratifying to his vanity. It is not likely’ he will Jong retain place, as written proofs exist, which I have seeny he was secretly concocting a speculation for the Great Fastern which’ would have benefitted the Pigs of one of his satellites a good deal more than the ds of the company. Against these selfish influences are arrayed the utmost efforts of Mr. Bold, deputy chairman of the Board of Directors, and Captain Harrison, .These are two practical, upright men, keenly alive to the interests of the important enterprize in which they are engaged. They are reso- Jute ag sagacious, and must sui in rescuing the noble vessel from the unhallowed gripe now endangering her brilliant promise. These crude revelations will account for the uncertainty of her future movements. If Captain Harrison remains her commander you may depend on it the Great Eastern will not go to sea until she is in a con- dition to achieve the success that can alone justify the efforts and vast sums expended on her. The facts I have just hinted at, rather than developed, are known ag yet to few; but the 2imes newspaper is fully aware that there is ‘‘something rotten in the State of Denmark,” and their recent articles are well calculated to bring the truth to the surface. My letter has insensibly drifted away from the shallow port of mere gossip into the deeper water of grave state- ments and serious allegations. Yet such is the pervading interest on the results of this great maritime adventure in both England and the United States—the first commer. cial nations of the world—that the speculations or expe- rience of penny-a-liners have full swing, and are wel- comed be they ever 80 vague or trite. Our Paris Correspondence. Paris, Oct. 11, 1859. The Assassination of Col. Anviti—His Antecedents and Character—His Massacre a Retribution for Former Cru- elties—The Paris Press on the Murder—Use Made of it by the Legitimists—The Late American Minister, dc. , dc. ‘The Moniteur of this morning is ominously silent on a subject with which the columns of all the other Paris journals are filled—the massacre of Colonel Count Luigo Anviti, on the 5th inst., at Parma. ‘The accounts from Italy on matters of detail differ litle, and only confirm the previous intelligence conveyed by telegraph. They all agree in condemning the act in the strongest language. It would seem that Colonel Anviti had formerly been the odious instrument of that mad Duke of Parma, the husband of the present Duchess, who, for his atrocious cruelties, was-assassipated in his capital. Persons of every age and sex were, by this wretched Prince, sub- jected to the bastinado, and their tortures augmented by the bitterest taunts and revilings. Of this foul work An- viti was the willing agent. Even after the assassination of his master he is said to have induced the Duchess Re- gent to continue for some time these opprobrious punish- ments. Well, itappears that Anviti, like Lord Normandy, was firmly convinced that the revolution in the duchy where he had so much distinguished himself only requir- ed the presence of a bold man to stop its further progress, and accordingly set out from Ancona on the 5th by rail, in order to arrive at Parma, At Enna, near the Modenese frontier, the passage of the railway was interrupted in consequence of a bridge having fallen, and the passengers were therefore obliged to proceed either on foot or ina carriage for some little distance to the other side of the stream, Here it was that Anviti was rocog- nized by two persons belonging to Parma, who spread the report the moment the Count arrived at the station. ‘The Independente of Turin says:—‘‘He was in plaip clothes, with a brace of double barrelled pistols in his pockets, a poignard, a passport from the Papal government, seyera letters and a considerable sum of money.”? As soon as it became known throughout the city he appears to have been arrested by the police or some soldiers, and taken to the barracks of the carbineers, where not more than some ten or a dozen men were at their post. The gate was soon forced open by the mob, the prisoner seized, massacred with stones and bludgeons, and finally laid down ina coffve house, where his head was cut off. Other accounts say that the wretched man, baving been killed by stabs from poignards, the body was dragged to the principal square, and the ceremony of decapitation having taken place, the head was placed on the top of acolumn, and that afterwards the body, for the space of two hours, was dragged about the streets. This took place about 9:30 A. M. on the 5th, and on the following morning the Inten- dant General, Cavalini, issued the annexed proclama- tion: Citizene—Last night your city was saddened by an event which can never be sufficiently deplored. A villain ared among the people whom he had cruelly offended, ‘The fever of vengeance seized upon some unhappy men, blinded and maddened them, and made them dye their hands in blood. Had ne been the most perverse of men, it was for the law alone to punish him. While the government is taking measures to uphold the majesty of the law, it feels that this is the moment for invoking the co-operation of all good citizens in the name of patriotism. You, who understand Mberty tell your fellow citizens that freedom cannot live without respect for the laws. You, who desire the redemption of your country, tell them that we must hope for it by maintaining order and tranquillity. Tell them that by avenging the insults of tyranny through the means used tier they will in- stead prepare the way for itsreturn, they will afford it an opportunity of inflicting revenge a hundred fold upon the people. Tell them that all Italy weeps over the crime of yesterday—that her enemies only laugh. ‘The Constitutionnel, which, in the silence of the Moniteur, may be taken to enunciate the official mind, is not satis- fled with this proclamation. It contains, it thinks,somo lines too much, and has an important hiatus. Nothing is said of an immediate appeal to the tribunal for the pun- ishment of the guilty, and “we regret that M. Cavalini should have found no epithet for the victim which authori- ty could not rescue.” He also thinks that the words which precede the proclamation are wanting in that pro- per indignation which go monstrous a crime should have elicited. To prove that its sentiments are shared by wit- nesses of the crime, it quotes the commencement ot a let- ter addressed from Parma to the Milan Gazetle:— “The dictatorial government of the duchies has already given proof of vigor. ‘To-day it must dis- play its enérgy in the chastisement of crime, and if it is shown that the Intendant, whose proclamation, dictated by honest indignation, has failed in vigor, the Dictator must deprive him of his office.’’ * It is observed that there are two parties who are equally disposed to create political capital out of this untoward event—that is, the legitimists, who with uplifted hands exclaim, “J told you 80; this is only the thin edge of the wedge—by and by you will behold a chasm to be filled up by torrents of blood” —and the King of Sardinia, who sees in this outrage an excuse for a provisional military ovcu- pation. No doubt such an occupatioa at the it mo- ment would be welcomed by Europe generally, whatever the Pope, the Emperor of Austria, or the King of Naples, might have to say to it. The state of Italy, alrendy causing a dead Jock in all Earopean governments, is how becoming an insufferable nightmare, Every one feela, that the Italian is growing into a European question. Is itnot strange—and yet so consistent with the fortunes of the French Emperor—that at a moment when all the world was turning towards him for a sign, this calamity should arise a8 if on purpose to give increased effect to the words which will doubtless fall trom him at Bordeaux, where he has already arrived? It was there that he uttered the famous apothegm, “ L’Empire, cet la | a sa It is probably there that the future of ly— marked out by what has only been an os- tensible departure from that principle—will be fixed. Even as I write the imperial winged words may be soating to all points of the compass. The Mayor of Bordeaux has published the following proclamation :— “Inhabitants of Bordeaux—Their Majesties the Empe- ror and Empress, and bis Highness the Prince Imperial, will arrive in this city on Monday, the 10th inat., at five ‘o’clock in the afternoon, and will stay here until Wednes- aay morning. The Emperor, whom new renders greater in the eyes of Europe and the world, returns to visit our city, which feels such sympathy for him. Your enthusiastic acclamations, I cannot doubt, will prove to ‘the imperial family that your hearts are still with gratitude and devotedness.”” Marshal Niel has been at Bordeaux since Saturday. The body of the Jate Minister of the United States has Deen removed to Havre preparatory to its departure to the United States. There was an intention of placing it on beard the Arago, but this has been changed.

The Em: peror repeats the sentiments to which he had formerly given utterance, that the temporal power of the Pope iz not opposed toghe liberty and independence of Italy, but feels great uneasiness, however, about the day—which cannot be far distant—when Rome shall be evacuated by the French troops, whose occupation has now lasted ten years, and asks what will that evacuation leave behind— anarchy and terror or peace? ‘The speech is unusually meager, and only so mush can be substantiated, that the Holy See is not at present pre- pared to make tho concessions which, in the Emperor's view, would render his temporal power not incompatible with Italian independence. But as it is well known that the address of the Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux was in bis hands at least a week ago, something may be done n the way of supplying omissions, by an examinatien of thas document, with which his Majesty had probably quite as much to doas with his reply, ‘We pray,’ says the Cardinal, “that God may afford you, sire, the means, as he has inspired you with the will of remaining faithful to that Christian policy which causes your name to be blessed, and which is perhaps the secret of the prosperity, and the source of the glories of your reign.” Tho Car- dinal continues: “You, who have been, and who wish still to” be the eldest son of the Church, you who have pronounced those memorable words, ‘The temporal sovereignty of the venerable chi¢f of the Church is closely allied to the of eclat Catho- licism, as well as to the liberty and independence of Italy’—a noble-idea, which is in conformity ‘with the sentiments proposed by the august head of your dynasty, when he said of the temporal power of the Popes, ‘It is ages which have made it, and they have done it well.’ ? Now these words of Napoleon I. are quoted from the “History of the Consulate and the Empire,” by M. Thiers, a work which is known to be constantly consulted by the Exoperor; and it may be inferred, therefore, that in ap- proving the archiepiscopal address his Majesty is particu- larly anxious to remain on the best terms with the Vicar of Christ. Indeed, the continually increasing energy of the French Bishops in protesting against the threatened inroads upon bis temporal power, show that these prelates were tolerably sure of their position. The Bishops of Beauvais and Orleans have adopted the more moderate Tine of protesting against any interference with the Holy Father, in the way of advice, at the present moment; but it is clear thateven they, though, to a certain degree, separating themselves from their brethren, are quite of the Imperial mind that ‘‘temporal sovereignty of the yene- rable chief of the Church is closely allied to the eclat of Catholicism.”” Altogether, the Bordeaux programme leaves one thing sufficiently evident—that Napoleon If. does not intend to demean himself before the Holy See in such a manner as that the Pope shall be prevented from coming to crown him at Paris, as he formerly crowned his auguet “predecessor,” whose approval of what ages had done in the way of establishing the Papal territorial do- minion is thus ostentatiously put forth and sanctioned. The Roman correspondent of the Constitutionnel, in his letter of October 8, published this morning, alludes to a prevailing reporthat the Pope and the King of Na- ples are about to hold a meeting at Porto d’Anzio. On the 7th the French Ambassador had a long interview with his Holiness. The Emperor Napoleon, with the imperial family, is once more ensconced at the Palais de St. Cloud. I may take this opportunity of mentioning that the Univers, which has been the depositary of the various circulars and protests emanating from the Episcopal bench, simu!- taneously with the Bordeaux speech, which it doubtless interprets as favorable to its own particular views, has re- ceived the first warning that has been given to the press since the announcement of the amnesty. M. Veuillot had written an article entitled ‘ Europe in Asia,” represent- ing the French Cochin-China expedition, in very atr language, as likely to cutail misery on hundreds o' thousands of Christians, &c., and accusing the French government of great weakness in the conduct of its Asiatic affairs; and he ig, therefore, with his responsibie editor, M. Taconet, warned accordingly. Tnis will be nuta for the Siécle, which only yesterday alluded, with something like wonder, to the changed condition of the ultramon- tape journal:— “ How times are changed,” it remarks, ‘since the reading of the lucubrations of the brothers Veuil- lot and of M. Coquille was proscribed in the dio- cees of Orleans. & reconciliation not less happy than surprising, and by an unexpected change of scene, M. Veuillot. becomes the depositary of the pro- tests of his former adversary, and of the assent accorded to them by other prelates. When Louis the Fourteenth became old and was in his decline, it was said with sor- row, ‘The policy of the King has changed.’ The same may now be said of the policy of the episcopacy, and already the Univers tinmphs.”” The Emperor of the Freuch’s reception at Bordeaux, I hear from eye witnesses, was of the most enthusiastic description. The rain fell and the streets were bespat- tered with mud, but nothing could keep back the enthu- siastic crowds who flocked in from all the surrounding country to see and welcome the conqueror of Solferino. Everywhere the most sonorous tivas rent the air, and the gratification felt by Napoleon and the Empress was visi- bly impressed on their features. Yn my last, speaking of the murder of Colonel Anviti at Parma, I took occasion to predict the fact of its being con- verted into political capital by the legitimists, and ac- cordingly their various organs are full of fury. "But it is right only to ada that the Paris journals generally unite in condemning the lan employed in the proclama. tion, The Courrterde says that the “official recital hag caused it a8 much affiiction as the horrible crime it- self.” The Patrie makes an unsuccessful effort to explain this official army recital by saying that the Italian word mé- seratile, which ig applied to Col. Anviti, and has been trans- lated in the sense of ‘*villain” is an error. The words of the Intendant Gen. Cavallini were, it will be remembered, “A villain appeared among the people whom he cruelly offended” —un miserabile venne a monsharri a quel popolo che aveva, condelmente offeso. The word miserabile can as easily be interpreted ‘miserable, unfortunate, pitiable,”” &c., but that depends upon its situation. In this instance, had it been addressed to the man, maimed, mangled and, dishonered, any one of these words would have applied; but when miserabile is employed, as it is here, to the yet unharmed man who had d: to intrude himself into the city, the term is eminently one of contempt and op- probium, After all, there is nothing in this act of popular vengeance to seriougly interfere with Italian independence. The only wonder ig, not that such an outbreak has oc- curred, but that something of the kind had not sooner taken place. The royalists and ultramontanes may, per- haps, find the circumstance rather [eka eir bey in fosteriug events which still tremble in the lance. Yesterday an interesting ceremony took place at the chapel of the Rue de Berri, the object of which was to bd a tribute to the memory of the late Hon. J. Y. Mason, inister of the United States at Paris. The gloomy and miserable day prevented perhaps 0 large a gathering as the univeral respect the honored gen. Ueman was held in would Lave otherwise collected. But all the @lite of American citizens now in Paris were present.

The burden of Mr. Tiifany’s remarks were—First, get the money; take a hat round before each ‘man in this chape) and stick it in his face till you have got his money; after that you can do as you please about a tablet or apything else. Great confusion followed, in the midst of which a gentleman proposed the adjournment of the meeting—a motion, as the chairmam remarked, which by pariial usage superseded all others, and Mr. Curleis’ pro} ‘accordingly fell to the ground, T never before so completely witnessed the necessity of wisdom as the associate of good nature.

On all sides arches of triumph, banners and ori- flames were being erected and hung out, and men, wo- men and children were rushing about with lustres, lamps and draperies. At the Municipal Palace gorgeously far- nished apartments were being rendered still more so, and on the river steamers that were to take the imperial party om an excursion to the mouth of the Ga- ronne were being painted and beautifully decorated. All was animated excitement and preparation: At six o’clock the imperial train arrived at the depot soldiers of the line and the Garde Nationale formed lines from the railway to the Palais Municipale. A detach- ment of Cent Gardes, in their gala uniform, were in at- tendance to precede the cortege. In the reception room of the depot, which was splendidly decorated with velvet and gilded hangings, were the Prefect, the Mayor of the city and the military commanders, I had obtained per- mission to enter the building, and bad thus a fine oppor- tunity of witnessing the ceremony. ‘The Emperor, with the Empress on his arm, entered the room; drums were beating, the populace outside was shouting, and I am sorry to say the rain was pouring down with such violence that I did not hear a word of the short address that the Mayor made to the imperial visiters. The Emperor answered a few kind words, and then the party entered the carriages that were to convey them to the Palais Municipale. It was raining with a violence 1 have rarely seen equalled, but the Empress kept bowing to the shouting multitudes that ran alongside, as the carriages went ata foot pace through the streets. Her dripping bonnet and wet shoulders made me feel really sorry for her Majesty, whose kindness of heart always makes her forgetful of self. Women and children dashed along through the mud and rain, and loud heartfelt shouts of “Vive ’Empereur,” “Vive ’Im peratrice,” “Vive le Prince Imperial,” were being cou- etantly vociferated by the half drowned crowd. I do not doubt that the imperial party was exceedingly rejoiced to get under shelter of a roof. I must say that during this most inapropos shower the illuminations cut a most sorry figure, while the bauners and oriflames hung pendant, dripping and discolored. After a ehort respite, the Emperor received the clergy, the civil and religious authorities, and lastly, the officers stationed at Bordeaux with their regiments. Whea clergy were recived the Archbishop of Bordeaux made an acdrees to the Emperor, which may de termed an in behalf of the church.

Next morning the sun was shining bright, and crowds filled the streets at an early hour. About noon the Em- peror and Empress visited an exposition held at Bordeaux, and then their Majesties and suite em- barked on the tugboat Prince Imperial, and sailed down the Garonne to Bec d’Ambes. Nothing could surpass the enthusiastic reception extended to the imperial couple by the people. Inever heard—even during the Italian cam n—louder or more heartfelt shouts of welcome. The tugboat was accompanied on its return, which took |e in the evening, by a flotilla of yachts, which ore on the tops of their masts colored lights; the steamer was also illuminated, while the houses on the banks of the river displayed transparencies and myriads of colored lamps. Garlands of were woven around the public buildings, and on all sides the words Solferino, nta and Montebello met the eye in characters of fire. lights of the steamer and the yachts were ree iS the stream, and the whole pro- duced a grand and most imposing spectacle. At ten o’clock the Emperor, Empress and suite entered the salle of the grand theatre, which had been converted into a ball room, so gorgeor 4 beautiful as to make one Delieve that Aladdin’s lamp still ossensed its power. At the time I entered the salle, about a quarter of an hour before the arrival of their Majesties, it was filled with the elite of the city. The crowd was immense, and Uae was the anxiety evinced to catch a first glimpse of the ardently expected visiters. All at once the large velvet curtain back of the throne was drawn aside, and their Majesties appeared. Cheer upon cheer burst forth, the ladies joining in most heartily, ruthlesely cracking their Seating kids in the vehemence of their applause. Their danced, walked about the room, and at midnight quietly retired. leaving the dancing portion to have a good time of it. 1 saw a gentleman present in a blue uniform, with spread eagle buttons on it, and concluded he was our Consul.

MONSIROR 18 MixierRe—You are nenend te decisions of the Assemblies of Tuscany, Modena and Parma, as well ag the answer which tho King, our august master, made ; to the deputations sent by those Assemblies. In the presence of such important events as those of which Central Italy has been the theatre, the King’s g0- verpment considers itself called on to express its views clearly on the present situation, and to call the most seri- ous attention of the Cabinets o1 the Powers to facts which probably are without precedent in history. ‘When Austria, in the month of April last, suddenly put- ting an end. to the diplomatic discussions which were f° ing on, and breaking the formal promisos given to Ka- rope, invaded Piedmont, all lialy understood that the
