The capital of Ireland is under martial law. The capital of England is in an uncomfortable state, and decidedly nervous about certain great fires attributed to the bit- terness and revenge of the Fenians. It is equally uncomfortable at the apprehension of financial disaster, The financial writer of the London Times, whose name appeared for a good round sum in the rebel cotton. loan list, is trying to prove that this disaster will come becanse the people trust the United States; but the people know well enough that it it comes it will be the result of England’s immense and ruinous investment in the rebel attempt to destroy the United States—an in- vestment which that financial writer encour- aged and wrote up, because that was the way in which he was expected to earn the sum for which his name was set down in the rebel cotton loan list. Paris is also uneasy. It has a financial dan- ger, it has Mexico and it has Rome. All these trouble the political atmosphere of the city, and it is hard to say how long the weather will be fair and from which quarter the storm may eome. Will the country endure the continual waste in Mexico of French men and French money in a scheme that cannot possibly bring advantage or honor to France? What new currents of political force may be brought to hear on this question by the development of great monetary trouble? How is it about Rome? If popular sentiment in Spain forced a solution of the Italian question there directly against all the wishes and prejudices of the Spanish monarchy, connected by the closest ties with the Holy See, will it do less in France? Is France less free than Spain, with Spain still under a Bourbon? Have the thought and spirit of the French people less influence on the government than the thoughts of the Spanish people have upon ® Bourbon mo- pe the previou» question was seconded by a vote of seventy-three to forty-nine. This gave Stevens the opportunity to make s speech to which nobody had the right to reply, and he instantly avajled himself of his advantage. Almost ignoring the subject under considera- tion by the House, he commenced # long rig- marole of abuse of President Jobnson,. denun- ciation of the Southern citizens of the United States and sneers and gibes at such conserva- tive republicans as Mr. Raymond, of New York. To the President he insultingly referred as “that man at the other end of the avenue,” and to Mr. Raymond as “his little friend from New York;” but the Speaker refrained from calling him to order, and the other members, too cowardly to insist that he should confine him- self to parliamentary language, tried to conceal their chagrin by silly laughter at this insolence, impoliteness and brutality. Forgetting that, under a British king, a few yearsago, he would have been hung asa traitor, he threatened the President with assassination for having ex- pressed an opinion upon the expediency of constitutional amendments, declaring that “guch conduct on the part of a British king, a few years ago, would have cost that king his head.” The emasculated reports of the Asso- ciated Press do scant justice to the vehement, bitter, revolutionary, treasonable, disconnected, unparliamentary and insane harangue of this radical conspirator ; but even the brief notes which have reached us show that it was the most disgraceful speech ever delivered in an rican Congress. ‘The madness of Thad Stevens, however, is not without its method. He well knows the foolish men with whom he has to deal, and who tremble at. his words.| The cowering conservatives did not intérrupt his torrent of billingsgate, nor did a single one of the Broadway, took place last evening.

Another little fight between the Chileans and Spaniards had taken place in the harbor of Caldera, ‘The latter attempted, by boats’ crews from their fleet, to cut out a small steamer lying in the harbor, but were driven away, with the loss of a number killed and wounded, by the troops on shore. One of the Spanish shipa then opened a broadside on the Chilean soldiers, but did them no damage. Though this was another decided defeat for the Spaniards, it was not thought that Admiral Pareja’s successor would commit suicide on the strength of it, Tho blockade of all the Chilean ports excepting Val- paraiso and Caldero has been raised, the vessels of the Spanish squadron having been concentrated at those two places. Both Chile and Peru are pushing forward their war preparations and arrangements with vigor. The people of the former country are much encouraged by news of the demonstrations of eympathy with them which have been made in this country, and were, at the date of our latest accounts, anxiously awaiting the arrival of General Kilpatrick, our new Minister, his great reputation leading them to expect much from him. The Chilean Minister of Finance had held a consultation with the Valparaiso Chamber of Commerce in regard to tho propriety of reimposing the duties on imports and exports, suspended during the early part of the Spanish blockade, That body gave an opinion favorable to reim- Position; but the government had not yet acted in the matter. ‘The war against the hostile and ferocious Apache Indians of the Plains, we are informed by our San Fran- cisco correspondence, is about to be inaugurated by General McDowell with great vigor. The General has left San Francisco for Arizona Territory, to assume personal superintendence of operations, and has issued orders for the movement of troops to the scene of hos- tilities. Other Indian tribes are co-operating with the national forces against the Apaches, and some of them have done excellent service, especially the Maricopas of the Gila, A grand council of the Maricopas, Pimos, Mo- hayes and Yumas would be held on General McDowell's arrival in Arizona, to concert measures for assisting him against the Apaches, China, news by way of San Francisco states that the rebellion against the imperial authority appears to be almost completely crushed, and that the mandarins are pursuing a more enlightened course towards foreigners.

He thought, however, that, with wise administration, the Freedmon’s Bureau could be dispensed with there in a.fow years, and urged kindness and sympathy towards ti Southern people, The trial of General Baker, late Chief of the War De- partment detective force, charged by Mr. and Mrs. Cobb, alleged pardon brokers, with being guilty of extortion and illogally imprisoning them, has been concluded in Washington.

MEXICO. ‘The advices received by yesterday's arrival from Europe contain the important announcement that the kmperor Napoleon has despatched a special envoy to arrange with Maximilian for the spoedy withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico. The London Globe adds that there is no hope of Maximilian’s bondholders in Eu- Fope getting their mterest, The Hrratp correspondence, and official advices re- ceived in Washington, show that President Juarez and his Cabinet, with a small military force, still remained in El Paso on the 6th of January, no further attempt by the imperialists to molest him there having been made. Our letter from that place furnishes a full list of the members of his Cabinet. The republican Governor of the State of Chihuahua is actively engaged in raising a force for the President. The French commander of the imperialists, after their reoccupation of Chihuahua City, used great endeavors to conciliate the inhabitants, and even pro- Posed to make the Governor chief imperial prefect.

A resolution was received from the Aldermen requesting the Corporation Counsel to draft an act to be sent to the Legislature, which in effect will change the present grades to conform to the exterior line as established by the Harbor Com- missioners in 1857, These papers were referred to com. mittees. The Aldermanic resolution in reference to the practicability of the city manufacturing gas was pre- sented; but, as it was discovered that the committee of the other Board were exclusively instructed to inquire into the matter, the paper was returned, In tho case of the alleged embezzlements by Charles Noelte, cashier of the Berlin banking house of Meyer & Co,, nothing new was developed yesterday beyond the mere fact that four suits, the nature of which does not appear, have been commenced by four of the defendants against Mr. Henry D.

Naporzon’s Dizmma 1x Mxxtoo—The news from Europe by tho Africa, arrived at Halifax” yesterday, points, though not very definitely, toward the solution of the Mexican difficulty. Probably the most important indication of the turn which events are about to take is the statement of the Paris Presse that Napoleon has sent a messenger to Mexico to arrange for the apeedy withdrawal of the French troops. We are not informed whether there is still in- volved in such arrangement the apparently ex- isting condition of a recognition of the Mexican empire by the United States government. Positive assurances have been made by Druyn de Lhuys that such are the only terms upon which the French Emperor will consent to re- call his troops from Mexico, and Mr. Seward bas already announced that those terms “seem to be impracticable.” The Mexican “dilemma” is now forming the subject of serious consider- ation in the French Corps Legislatif, and our Paris correspondent says that the opposition is divided upon the matter, one branch—the re- publican wing—being disposed to throw no obstacle in the way of a withdrawal of the troops from Mexico, and permitting the Empe- ror to extricate himself decently from the trouble in which he has involved France. Perhaps they are prepared to give the Emperor rope enough and let him work his own way out of the difficulty or fall with it; the latter result probably being not objectionable to the re- publican wing of the opposition. The London Times, which some time ago ad- vocated the wisdom of Napoleon’s withdrawing the troops, now endeavors to show that the dilemma which the French Emperor has reached is too painful to admit of such a solu- tion. It argues that if he backs out he will be lost, by subjecting French arms to the charge of recoiling from a contemptible enemy; and if he holds on to his support of Maximilian he or whether to attempt to force a passage into Portagal. Severo measures were about to be taken by the Spanish government against such of the insurgents as fell into their Lands, The Fen‘an Head Centre Stephens’ whereabouts con- \inued to perplex the British government.

In the Senate yesterday instructions were given to the Reconstruction Committee to inquire iato the neces- sity of an additional amendment to the constitution dociaring with greator clearness the power of Congress ty enforce its provisions by appropriate legislation, and to the Judiciary Committee to report on the expediency and constitationality of extending the jurisdiction of the national courts over suite brought against persons for acts done during the war under the direction of eitber the national or rebel authorities. Mr. Fessenden gave notice that on Monday next he would call up the representation constitational amendment adopted by the House on Wednesday, and press it to a vote as soon as possible, so that it might be laid before the Legislatures now in session at an early day. The resolution recom- mending she speedy trial of Jett. Davis, Clement C. Ciay and other Jeading rebels by court martial was token up, and Mr. Howard spoke at length in its support, after which it was laid over, The consideration of the special order, the bill for the pro- tection of all the inhabitants of the country in their etvil gights, was then resumed, and, after Mr. Morrill had ad- dressed the Senate in advocacy of it, an amendment was adopted, by a vote of thirty-one to ten, declaring all na- tives of the United States not subject to foreign Powers, excep ing Indians not taxed, to be citizens, without dis- tinction on account of color, Mr, Garrett Davis made a specch in opposition to, the bill, affer which, without taking a vote on its passage, the Senate edjourned.

It covers the same idea as President Johnson’s proposition to make the number of qualified voters in each State the basis of re- presentation, and, such being the case, it is probable that President Johnson will not object to the House proposition. In this view, there is neither sense nor decorum in the vio- lent and brutal denunciations of Thaddeus Stevens against the President for presuming to make known his opinions on the subject. In- stead of usurping any power in this matter, the Executive, with a delicate forbearance, has eclined to exercise his lawful authorit; # recommending directly to Congress, from to time,” “such measures as be shall jndge necessary and expedient,” Yt is our greatest misfortune just now that the leading radicals of Congress do not adhere to the constitution with the patriotic fidelity of the President. His purposes are clearly harmony, conciliation and restoration, while the game of Stevens is as manifestly the game of rule or ruin. The proposed amendment has passed the House. It comes from the Joint Committee on Reconstruction. It will, therefore, doubtless pass the Senate by the required two-thirds ma- jority, although it does not appear to suit the Massachusetts radicals of the school of Sum- ner. Their programme is negro suffrage at all hazards, from which Stevens has backed down. He, too, is a bigoted fanatic; but he does not believe in grasping at the moon, or that the American people are all fanatics of his way of thinking. He may think that with his two- thirds majority in Congress he can domineer it over the President; but the late votes of Con- necticut and Wisconsin on negro suffrage have apparently satisfled him of the tolly of attempt- ing this thing, right or wrong, in a constitu- tional amendment. This proposition of suffrage and representa- tion is the first plank in the reconstruction pro- gtamme ofthe Joint Committee of Fifteen. We infer that the States now excluded from Con- master. Thero was not spirit enough among them to resist this petty tyrant, whose talent for blackguardism is his only strength, and when the vote was taken they passed his amendment by s vote of one hundred and twenty to forty-six, instead of expelling him through the window, as was done at Harrig- burg several years ago, when Stevens Indulged in a somewhat similar tirad& Baldwin and Eliot, of Massachusotts, Jonckes, of Rhode Island, and Hole and Raymond, of New York, wore the only republicans, except those from the Border States, who had the courage to vote with the democrats against Thad Stevens’ commands, The rest of the republicans delib- erately endorsed his speech by their votes, and must share with him the odium and notoriety which will always be attached to this disrepu- table philippic. Yet many of these members had opposed the same amendment for which they now voted, and had assisted to send it back to the Committee on Reconstruction. All of them had been elected upon repeated pledges to support the administration, and had cast their ballots for Andrew Johnson at the polls. But when the Pennsylvania Mephistopheles cracked his whip these very members placed themselves upon the record as slanderers of the President and backed Stevens in his insults and his threats of assassination. We leave them to the tender mercies of the constituents” whom they have deceived and misrepresented. They have en- rolled themselves as the new rebels; and, from Thad Stevens down to the meanest of those other members who preferred assassination to reconstruction, they require the full pardon of the President whom they have abused before they can be again admitted to association with true Unionists. —_ be another exhibition of works bp hey modern European masters, The collection the late 8.

We learn by letters from Havana that nearly forty thousand dollars is the amount of the subscription for twenty-four nights of opera at the Tacon theatre with Grau’s new Italian company. The boxes are all taken, and the whole parquet is secured with the exception of twenty-five seats, which, by order of the Captain Gen- eral, were reserved for the nights of performance.
