In Egypt also be made a long stay, and visited’ in this country all places of special interest, among them the Pyramids. Having returned to Palo, Brussels on the 27th of July, 1857, and in whose com- pany he afterwards made a journey through Sicily, Spain, tho Ionian Islands, Maderia and the Brazils, He wrote an account of this voyage ina four volume work, which was published under the title of “Sketches of Travel.’ After the conclusion of the imperial journey through the Lombardo-Venetian provinces the Archduke was called to rule over them undor the titls of Governor General. Ho retaibed this position until the breaking out of the Italian war, in the spriug of 1859, After tho Ttalian campaiga he resided ia Venice as Governor Geae- Tal, but did not like the office, and therefore jfmited himself to fulfiling the duties devolving on him ‘a3 Com: mander-in-Chief of the imperial navy, He was also made a member of the House of Peors, and while in {t remained perfectly neutral, favoring neither party. Tu June, 1863, came the news that the Assembly of Nobles in Mexico had come to the decision of offering to the Archduke Maximtiian the imperial crown of their country, with but ove dissentient voice against 214 in favor of the resolution.

IRELAND. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE WERALD. —_— Irish Discemtent and the Means to be Adopted tor its Eradication. Dusty, July 4, 1867. Ata moment when thg disturbed subject of Irish poli- ties fs forced so much upon our attention, if we do not accord to it our sympathies, as we did to the earlier efforts of the Fenian movement, we may be permitted to say a parting word before quitting the subject in toto, although the movements lately made in this country end Great Britain by a certain portion of the Irish people, through the absurd and veual mannér in which they were conducted, has alienated much of our interest and perhaps our respect, yet_is cannot be denied that crying evils existed and stilt exist in the government of Ireland which cail for some movement for their eradi- cation, Itseems strange, however, that the great ma- jority of Irish patriots are either ignorant of the causes of their own discontent or purposely hide them, and ‘ascribe other reasons than those which actually arouse their endeavors to subvert British supremacy in Ircland. From the dook, the platform and the Senate the same aud ill-defined grievances are recounted, while origin and cause of all iq hidden bencath the tumors hich it produces, It seems as if distance from the scenes of strife and cool, impartial observation is re- quired to detect the malady and expose It. There is but one cause for Irish discontent and that is Irish poverty. The Irish peasant nature is a strange pe. aanamegnanborrsening. sor! we moan no flattery wo say, as elevated on the whole as that of any similar class in the world. Among his faults and virtues Pat enumerates patience and ambition, and though in his impoverished and often famine-stricken condition bo bas amplo oppertunity for employing the: first, yet we can eafely aver the British constitution, under which he lives, gives him little occasion for gratifying the latter, He is born on aclay floor ina mad cabin; be and Spa to uphold tmpertatinm and bdery in India ia aad New to sustain the © of and the Bation’’ at homo, and to of toe jon’ by Ynose stardy _bhrst of toyatty would resound from enjoy. were n nae Bathe Riough « was confn g a i poart of the powerful British mi Compre sc8eif might have found its . aes. “ide Tf, then, the potiticians of England are anxious to create @ community of interests among English peeing mations, let them urge the repeal of the union, may appear to be disadvantageous to the exchequer; Dus the loyaky tt would purchase would be cheaply bought, The offices of those dem: who flatter the hopes of tho Celtic pouple with the prospect of em- Darrasaments between the two governments would th be gone, and instend of their howlings, an enthusiastic relationship of would Detrewtored poanert a pence ona. than ever between those spreading races, who worship in ovety quarter of the globo the same Maker in , the same tongue. ai The Poor Houses and other EKaglish Reme- dies—What the People Want. f Dum, July 18, 1867. The poor houses in Ireland are full of paupers, and ‘the cost of maintaining them bas much increased during the past five years; nevertheless they are not appreciated as a boon by the peasantry, They are considered but a rofuge forthe lazy, the vagrant and the old women. When severe weather or failure of crops cut off tho re- sources of the small farmer, he will make every possible sacrifice before allowing himself or his family to bo im- mured within its walls, To help such parties over porieds of difficulty the extension of the system of out- door relief is urgently demanded from the government. A series of returns have beon prepared for the consider- ation of Parliament, which fully illustrate tho necessity of placing more extended powers in the hands of the Commissioners of Poor Relief ia Ireland. The total expenditure for the relief of paupers in Ire. land during the year 1866 was £728,207, showing an increase of £216,159 on the amount of tho preceding year. The number of paupers in Irish poor houses in February, 1867, was 58,679, an iucrease of only 1,200 over the corresponding period of 1866—a small number considering the unusual severity of the winter and spring months; but tho number of those demanding outdoor relief was 18,000, an increase of several thou- sand persons on tho number of applicants during any of the preceding threo years. It is the wish Of the Irish people that temporary relief should be more fully ex- tended to enable thom to tide over short poriods of ri such a3 {s at present felt in the west of Ire- nd, ‘The English people seem to have a vory faise idea of the Irish character. The chivalric devotion of the people to their kings on many occasions ha; blinded them to the change or rather revolution of footing which has occurred of late years, and they cling to the balief that a basis of personal loyalty oxiets boueath all the threats of Fentanism. Many who know tho country believe that Fegianism and the other isms which distract it derive their chief support from a fecling—a rang, and increasing fecl- ing—that democracy is the most desi ablo form of gov- ernment. The agitation of the country is attributable toa longing aftor real ‘political freedom, a dis:aate for the antiquated machinery by which they are governed, anda desire for their abolition or modification. Tas feeling has - eg Decome strong enough to flnd a voice loud enough fo be heard distinctly and explata its wants, but it is only part of a simttar movement which ts going ‘on all over Europe. In Ei I need scarcoly tell 1. ‘the indications of popular fecling are all revo~ lutionary ; in France the Emperor ts but the Ingres tion of the national will; in Gormany Bismarck is but the head of the popular party; in Italy there is @ prom- ising democratic element; in Spain it is only kept down by. pangings, fusilades and who'esaio deportationa, The bubble Fentantsm ts but one manifestation of this uni- versal popular desire. Tho project of a royal residence in Ireland has, {t seems, been doflaitely abandoned, A nice idea it was to attempt to cure the {amishing, discontented muzruled ey ~ the empty honor of having aroval prince jiving a fow months among them in what he would con- sider a sort of exile; something as if one were to try the cure of chotera by doses of gilt gmgerbread, or attempt the resuscitation of a corpse by tucking his nose with a feathér.

Wasuuaron, July 25, om} Li o'Clock P.M. Tho President and the Military Commanders to Confer Toget! . It has been widely published that the President had invited the five military commanders to come to this city and confer with him on the subject of a uniform ad- ministration of their departments, I have it on author- ity that such a step has not been taken yet, though un- doubtedly contemplated by the President, ‘The pro- Priety of inviting tho. military comgnanders to Wash- ington has been talked over in Cabinet meetings and will probably be agreed upon to-morrow. ‘The President is anxious to have the laws faithfully administered in the South, but in such a way as to make them bear with as little harshness as possible on the people, He wishes to meet the military commanders face to face, and by an interchange of views decide upon the best line of policy to be pursued.

Should necessity arise ho will take prompt steps for tho enforcement of our neutrality laws, The Late Session of Congress. Tho question as to whether the session of Congress Just over was the second session, or a continuation of the first session of tho Fortieth Cong }, is brought be- fore the first Comptroller of the Treasury to decide. Upon the decis‘oa of this question, through the working of the tenure of office law, it seems, rests the period at which @ number of important civil officers will lose their positions, not having been confirmed by the Senate, and also as to whetner certain offices will not have to remain vacant for the reason that the President has no power to appoint during the recess, If itis raled that the last session is buta continuation of the Orst, officers not confirmed may hold over till the end of the next ses- sion; but if it was a distinct session, then officers not confirmed return to private life and the offices held by them are now vacant, Conspiracy Among Prisoners to Escape from Jail. There has been a sensation here for the last fow days among the people connected with the jail, occasioned by an alleged conspiracy among several of the convicts to eflect their escape by moans of instruments surreptitiously introduced, The leaders of this supposed conspiracy were the renowned Sandford Conover aud Thomas Myora, a soldier confined in the jail awaiting trial on the dharges of burglary and grand larceny of jewelry and plata, ‘They were, It is alleged, aided by manyfjof the prison- era in the loft third corridor of the jail, The affair seems to have been well planned, and was only frustrated by the vigilance of the keepers of the jail. Certain susp!- cious movements of some of tbe prisouers attracted the attention of tho jailors several days ago, and a strict watch was accordingly ordered to prevent any surprise being successfully curried out. Guards were posted at all points where an escape was likely to be attempted, anda quiet search was instituted, with a view to ascertain whether the prisoners were supplied with arms or other implemonts that might be made ayallablo if an endeavor to break jail. The plans of the prisonors were so well Jaid that the search resulted in no startlog discoveries, The suspicion, however, remained thai the prisoners wero supplied with tools fur outtiog the window bara; and this suspicion was confirmed on Monday last Uy the observations of Mr. Rusk, who was on the lookout in the west yard of the Jat}. This person noticed Myers in the vory act of sawing one of the bars, with Sandford Conover by his side, apparently superintending the operation. Thie wan cortaluly @ startiing discovery, and ‘Mr. Rusk hastened to inform others of the guards of what he had seen. The vigilance was increased, and steps wero taken to secure the enter- prising Myers, so that his further efforts at freedom might bo nipped in the bud. The same night, accordingly, Myers was placed in irons, an exami- nation of tho window mado, and it was found that one of the upright bars had been cut through with a fine, sharp jeweller’s saw, Yesterday morning Mr. Bell ‘went to the third corridor and discovered and took pos- session of a saw, made of the finest steel, set in a strong wooden framo, which was tightened up on the wood saw principle, and capable of doing much execution in a short space of time. He also found a knife and chisel, with which the frame had been constructed. How the implements were introduced into the prison is mot satts- factorily explained, One story bas it that Conover pro- cured thom, while another gives the soldier Myors the credit of the feat Myers, it is said, has stated himself that he brought them into the jail with him concealed in his coat collar, The Evening Expres of w city, commenting on the affair to-night, saya:—"‘Ever since Hon. J. M. Ashley hae been visiting Conover at the jail he has been permitted to s¢nd and receive communications without restriction or examination, contrary {> the rales of the jail; and bis wife has been permitted to come and go whenever she pleased, and hold long private interviews with him. It ts supposed that, taking advantage of these privileges, Conover has used them to obtain the means of \getting himself and companions out ef quod, though Conover stoufy denies any complicity iu the matter. At any rate tneattempt was a failure, and if Mr. Conover was not congerned in it, in view of the late decision of the Court overruling @ third or fourth motion of his counsel for a né@w trial, tisa wonder” =~ ; Pardon Brokers. From information received at the Attorney General's office, it appears that there are a aumber of individuals in the'unreconstructed States who come to Washington representing themsolves as authorized: to receive certain pardons of applicants who had filed petitions. These persons, after obtaining quite a bundle of pardons, carry them to the State in which the pardoned parties reside, and notify said parties that they have par- dons for them, which they may obtain upon the payment of from $300 to $500. A gen- Jeman in Texas bas juet written to the Attorney General, stating that such a proposition had beep made to him by a man, and believing the whole affair to be an imposition, if mot @ swindie, he Fequests the Attorney to forward to him a certified copy of his pation.
