THE EASTERN QUESTION. A General ropean War “Catastrophe” E: pected to Result From the Candian Revolu- tion—Queen Isabella of Spal kelyto Be Dethroned in the “Convulsion’*— Diplomatic Denferences in Paris—France, Russia and England Actively Engaged. The London times of the 26th of September, in an edi- torial on the Eastern question, says: ~The settlement of the Bastern question involves a grave general European tatastrophe. The question admits of no pacific or dipla- matic solution, It will have to be referred to the ultima watio, The London Post of September 27 says:—Advices from Paris state that frequent interviews are taking place between the representatives of various European Pewers and the French Foreign Office relative to Eastern affaire, but more especially between the French Foreign ‘Minaster and the representatives of England and Ruasia, The Paris correspondent of the London imes says ‘hat things in Spain are a great dea) too bad to last, and when the grekt convulsion does come the last Bourbon sovereign who still reigns in Europe will john the exiled band of her dethroned relatives. The Paris Patrie publishes a despatch from Constanti- mopie, dated the 12th of September, which states that in Kosin Digh an insurrection had broken out, to whicti the authorities themselves were accessory. Mehemet Pasha bas been named Commander-in-Chief of the Turkish forces. Four of the insurrectionary districts have offered submit to the Turkish authorities, Official accounts from Candia, published in Alexandria, state that the news of the defeat defeat of the Egyptian troops by the Can- @ians is inaccurate. The Egyptians, not expecting the eommencement of hostilities, were temporarily sepa vated from the Turkish troops. Jinmediately on the ar- vival, however, of Ishmail a he succeeded iv ro- un! the Egyptian troops with the Turkish troops, ‘with tho loes of only one hundred and fifty men. Paris Moniteur says that in Candia, unfortunately, ‘blood has been shed, but the insurrection bas not pro- gressed. The arrival of the Turkish Commissioner ap- oy hd roduced a favorable impression, and up the present time (September 27) all hopes have not Deen abandoned of the success of the miesion with which he ie jutrusted.

[Pari (September 19) correspondence of London Times. } The following letter of the 16th from Vienna, pub- Mished in the Patric, seems suiticiently important to at- wact serious attention, and to demand the verification of ome of the statements it contains. Yon were long since (1 think two years ago) informed from Paris of the secret geval preparations and constructions of Russia in her Black Sea arsenals; and the other day I told you of the ‘concentration of troops in the central position of Khar. Ref, where an army is being assembled. The letter writer says:—‘In presence of the gigantic conflict of whirh the East will —-. be the theatre German ani Anevian questions are thrown into the background. Nevertheless, events of some interost are oocurring in ‘there quarters. Great movements of Russian troops are = taki place in Poland. Forty thousand men of the camp established on the frontier ‘are to co to Powonsk, in the marches of Warsaw, where the Grand Duke Nicholas will review them.

Since then the ship and her officers have in their own eon the ob- jcct# of nearly as much attention as has nm lavished at St. Petersburg on Admiral Goldsborough and bis squadron. On Friday, Commodore Steadman visited the Capitan Pasha on board the Mabmoudich, where he was received with marked cordiality by Mehemet Ali, and saluted with thirteen guns as be Jeft the three-decker. Saturday evening the corvette steamed up to Buyuk- der’, and next morning ber commander and his ebief officers paid a formal visit to the Hon, E. Joy Morris, the Awerican Minister. Later in the day his Excellency re- turned the visit, and subsequently presented Commodore Steadman to the British and French Ambassadors, the Russian Minister and some of the other foreign repre- sentatives. The Russian, Austrian and Greck Ministers, and the Italian chargé @ajJaires visited the corvette on Monday, ach caving as he went over the side the salute due to is rank.

Subsequently, the Com- modore and. his officers visited General Ignatieff on the occasion of the Emperor Alexander's /éte, which was celebrated yesterday with great éclat at the palace of the Rassian legation at Buyukderé. Here again the Yankee officers were the most honored guests of tte day.

To-morrow the Miuister and Captain Steadman will dine with the Capitan Pasha, The ficonderoga will remain here till the beginning of next week, and before leaving her commander and principal officors will be presented to the Sultan, During the week. the corvette has been thrown open to all comers, excepting only during the crew’s dinner hour, from noon to one P, M. The exquisite cleanliness ant equipment of the ship have excited general admiration; and socially, politically and every way her visit has been @ great success. In recognition of this Commodore Eeeneinaan will, it is said, give a grand ball aboard before ¢ leaves. FRANCE, The French iron-clad squadron had arrived at Biarritz and was reviowed by the Emperor.

In the royitl patent to be issued by Prussia, assuming ssion of Hanover, Elec'oral Hesse, Nassau and Frankfort, the King will salute the people of thess States as “new Prussian crtizens.’’ Semi-ofliciai Prussian provincial correspondence states that there is no prospect of a conclusion of a complete peace with Soxony until that country has given sure guarantees against the recurrence of those dangers which at the outbreak of the recent war menaced both Prosaia and Northern Germany. Both Chambers of the Prussian Legislature bave adopted the government proposal for the mn of the Diet from September 27 to November 12. inisters explained that it was the desire of the government that the next session of the Diet should be brief, in ordor to make way for the convocation of the North German Parliament, AUSTRIA.

Gala Day on Staten Island—General Santa Anna and Colonel Roberts Talk of Mexico and Ireland—Small Attendance and Great Enthusiasm, &c., &e. Avery curious sight was witnessed on Staten Island yesterday. The announcement had gone forth that Gen- eral Santa Anna and Colonel Roberts would address a meeting of Fenians at Pavilion Hill. It created consid- erable excitement, and was generally disbelieved, Dur- ing the early part of the day the boats carried over (in addition to their usual passengers) a few young men evi dently of Irish descent, and some baif a dozen, who, from their appearance, were better acquainted with the Spanish or Mexican languages than with that of old Erin. AT PAVILION Hm an admission fee of fifty cents was charged. ‘This was inexorably exacted from both the wearers of green neck ties, and also from the small minority with short crop ped black bair and wearing white gaiters over patent leather boots. Inside the grounds there was a romarka- bly small audience. The majority were residents of Staten Island, who had attended ou: of curiosity to seo the Mexican general. A small band of strins instruments provided employment for the disciples of Terpsichore, while the man with the rinvs and scups alzo met with numerous patrons. For several hours these amusemen's sufficed to satisfy the crowd, who then began to get jin- patient, and as the sun gradually sank in the west voices were heard bre pig asking whether Genorai Santa Auna really intended to make his appearau: ARRIVAL OF THE GENEMAL At about five o'clock a carriage containmg several celebrities arrived. In a few minutes two other carnoges were geen approaching. ihe first contained General Santa Anna, jonel Roberts, Colonel Vidal and Judge Garrett, of’ Staten Island; the second was occupied by members of General Santa Anna’s suite. Sania Aers was dressed inthe fall uniform of a division genera’, with cocked hat and plume, honorary medals, and the gash presented to him by the Mexicans alter the tinal defeat of the Spaniards at the battle of Panico. The twenty-five policemen on dus im the grounds rushed forward to aesies me General as he aligited from the coach, and amid the cheers of the assembled crowd ne was taken to the balcony of the hotel and aveommodated with a seat, around which the following gentlemen were assembled:—Colonel Roberts, General Spear, Capiain MCatferty, Mr, Morrison, General Beakley, Judge Vor milye, 2 Goodell, M. B. O’Brien, clerk of Rictuy Mahty; Judge Thos, Garett, Colonel Bagley, Dr. Clarke. GENBRAL SANTA ANNA’S BPERBCH. General Santa Anna was repeatedly cheered the crowd, and after order was restored, Colonel William R. Roberts stepped forward and made a few in‘roductory remarks, in which he compgred the syndy of Ireland to that of Mex! and hoped that equ Sraeeley, might be extended to both countries, He then intro- duced General Santa Anna to the audience. The General delivered the following address in the Spanish language: Ma Pxssivest Axp GeytLemen oF THR Fenian BRoTHER- noop—If ever I ree {he wank 0! knowledge or the 6 English ie gt the prsént Moment, when I wot who rye ie ‘your own to ourtfelt gratitude that honors that have been bestowed upon me during ny !ife is now feel, Various were the my own countrymen. as weil as by the foreign Puwerry| Europe, yet it ys happened when I was in power, and men that are in power always receive houors, an often are surrou! by fiatt-rers, adulators, but v seldom friends, To-day an exile from my native soil, foreign’ land, the smallest attention " est consideration in my favor, is ly appreciated, for now law not in power, and my ‘are therefore unbounded.

(At this point some one in the crowd proposed three cheers for ‘Little G. B,”") There is nothing more sacred than inde- pendence to the heart of man, and there is no spot earth where that dearest boon is more sternly deni. than in Ireland. I know very well that the greatest men that ever adorued the page of Irish history have met with the foulest abuse, and that Henry Gra‘tan, that ‘most devoted of men, was stoned publicly in the streets on jed of Dublin, But ’ such trials as these did not for one moment affect the patriotism of John Mitchell or of Smith O'Brien; and did he not go down to her cold bosom regretted, cherished and beloved. Docs Mitchel love Ireland less because he was hated and stoned. No, nor do I, thongh heaps of contumely and slander be heaped upon her, still dof love her dearer than anything that is upon the broad face of the earth, (Cheers) Cheer for your oppressed country my men, and let your cheers find a responsive echo iu your hearts. Cheer for the men who are work- ing to rescue and bring forth to the sacred liglt of free- dom your beloved land, and for those who in that land are waiting and watching with eager patience for the day dawn of liberty. Iwoald to-day rather be the humblest man in Ireland battling for liberty than be the proudest monarch of earth sitting on his throne. It is argued by many that we are not fitted for self-government, This is the favorite i ‘ea of the Englishman; but I say never put the weight of a feather on the back of an oppressed man, These calumnios concerning the unfitness of the oppressed to govern themselves are the favorite ideas made use of by all tyrannical governments to justify their action in regard to those they piacin —y and they are indniged in from the smallest shoneen to the highest in their realms, But we have proved tn this land that we are fit for self-government and capable also to force that* idea into the thick skull of John Bull, We will p: 10 him and to the world that we area people of en\arged and generous sentiments and worthy of that place which we will yet occupy among the nations. BREAKING UP, At the conclusion of Colonel Roberts’ address numer- ous cheers were indulged. in for General Santa Anna and the Mexican republic, for President Roberts and the Fenian Brotherhood, after which the: assemblace dis- ersed, President Roberts, Generals Spear and O'Neil, ‘olonel Meehan and a large number of the authorities of Richmond county then accompanied tienera! Santa Anna to the resideuce of Mr. Gabor Naphegvi, where a collation had been prepared for the distinguished guests. ADDRESS OF COLONEL ROBERTS. Advises the Use of All Means Short of Dishon- esty to Carry Out their Purposes—He Wants to Extract Benefits for Ireland from Santa Anna—His Hit at the Government—Jumes Stephens, &c. The members of the St. Patrick Circle of the Fenian Brotherhood met last evening, at eight o’clock, in the Temperance Hall, on Twenty-ninth street, near Ninth avenue, for the purpose of hearing an address from Col. Roberts, President of that branch of the society. The Colonel did not arrive until about nine o’clock, and was then introduced to the meeting by the chairman, After making a short apology for the delay, Colonel Roberta congratulated the Circle on the patriotism it evinced in the hour of need, and although having been at first opposed to him, still, when trial came ov, and when the men were in the field, they gave up all differ- ence of opinion, came manfully forward, and did their duty like true patriots. He was en- gaged to-d: in Staten Island introducing to the chiefs of the Fenian organization a man who was ‘a true and a brave soldier, wth whose politics be had nothing to do, and his motives in meeting whom was solely to extract trom him something that might be of benefit far the cause of Ireland. The weaih and power of England required that the Fenians should have in their midst and as their friends stern and unbending patriots, minds ready to grasp at anything that may help th aim of our existence, and which nothing but tho power of God can thwart. Irishmen can see every day nations using them as tools and almost siave:, tighting ther battles in the tield and materially adding to the prosperity of the land, and for which what do they get ‘n return but common raiment and hard food and what is this to what Ireland would give if they bad done the same for her. God male man for a higher purpose than merely to feed and clothe himself and drag out, rr nie, existence; he made him to oxait his raghying wean fellow man.

He advised pa tecting vely strongly Use every means short of shonesty to carry o#¢ the intentions of the Fenian Brotherhood. Nurmeers of the Irish are wanderers through the coustry, bat they are called citizeus; but no oath of allegiance can absolve a man from the duty which h: owes his native land. When he (Colonel Roberts) was arrested, he was told ho could not evade tho jaw; but ho replied indignantly that he was also a citizen of Ireland. Ho said he could tell them things to-night which hx would not speak to a promiscuous crowd or where the press was represented. (Here Colonel Roberts was informed that a reporer of the HeRap was present, and on this announcement bein made tamed down considerably.) Neither the press oF New Yord nor of the United »tates carea one straw ior Ire'and; they merely wished to obtain from ite patriotic organizations pews and information tor @ gaping public; but he would have the Irish as shrewd and as keen as others, and to use every one and every means whereby they could further tle cause of Ireland, Mr. Roberts continued m greai length, stating in the course of his remarks that they had now members of a military organization in their boty, every one of whom were tried men and bound dows to the order by the ost ae oaths, bee Br 8.000 609 rol apmunition, Svaoas of.

He’ thinks it impossible that here we can be really devoted to our beloved sovereiyn, and her government, a government which he affects to think is overbearing, perfidious, and envious of the power and greatness of the American nation. Unfortun- ately for our peace, we have been reaping the fruits of these opinions. Some of the really well meaning of the ‘American people, many of the unthinking, and a num- ber of those who entertain the opinions to which I have Jost referred, have given their countenance, co-opera- tion and aid to this Fenian conspiracy. Nor js it at all improbable that the leaders of the two grent political ies, into which tho United States is now divided, jer countenanced the enterprise which they know can- not be successful, on the one hand to obtain the political support of those engaged iu the conspiracy, whieh it has usually received; and, on the other hand, to divert it to the other party. Professing, as the American le do, to be a people who respect themselves, pro- fessing to be @ nation which respects national rights, it seems @ matter of amazement that this conspiracy, whose objects have been loudly proclaimed, has uot been frowned upon by the American people, and denounced by their press as an atrocity which has no parallel in ancient or modern times, and as one dangerous to their own peace; for an organization formed to commit atrocl- ties in one place may, by an caey transition, become one to commit outrages in avother piace, to which its direction may be turned, I mention these things to dispel erroneous opinions vting the events which underlie and sur- round your inquiries on the present occasion, which for any other purpose would be out rt pap here; but they exteduate rather than aggravate the conduct of those men whose implied crim» will form the subject Ser investigations. The accused are said to be chiefly of that young, reckless, unthinking class—but tn part of anol and more depraved one—which are seen in the principal cities of the United States, Probably most of them joined this nefarious ent © with the ap- probation of thos» to whom they naturally looked, as @ cause worthy of true manhood, the prosecution of which would yield at least excitement and its consum- mation applause and renown. These.considerations and others which® they sucgest will, I hope, tone down your minds to judicial calmness in the investigations now to come before you, Remember the law presumes these men are innocent, r your duty isto consider them so until, by legal evidence, their guilt appears. They are charged with having feloniously entered U, Canada on the first and second days of June last, with in- tent to war against her Majesty, and with being found in arms against her Majesty here. 4# you will presently see, they might have beep, “ed yy a militia court martial, but it is better ther should be tried here by the ordinary course of Inw- 10F except- ing the late invasions and the threats % their repe- tition we 6 been in a state of profound peace.
