A Now Method of Placing Jicit Whiskey on the Market—Heavy Shipments to Boston from Buflalo—Leading Chiize: Place 1 icated—High Ome! Burrato, Sept. 17, 1867, 10 o'Clock P. M. During the past three months special agent L. Haw- Jey, of the Internal Revenue Department, at the in- ‘tance of General A. Root, Collector of this district, bas ‘deen investigating the manner in which whiskey Is ebipped from Buffalo to New York and Boston, The Ghipment is generally made in bond, the bonds being cancelled by the collector for the district im which the shipment is made, on being notified by the collector of the district im which it has been received that the whiskey is stored in a United States bonded warehouse, the Collector, Inspector and United States ‘bonded warehouse keeper signing the receipt, Gene- ral Root, the Collector, having been informed that whiskey ‘was selling in Boston and New York at a figure below the government tax, immediately notifled the Internal Revenue Department of the above facts. There has been during the past year, on an average, bjs hundred barrels of whiskey shipped from this a to Boston weekly, and delivered tm that city, the Collector of Boston certifying that the whiskey was ‘Feoeived and stored in a United States bonded warehouse. Collector Root becoming suspicious despatched a special agent to Boston to make up the case, who reports that the Collector of Boston has been absent for some time, ‘and that the receipts forwarded to this city from Boston are pronounced forgeries by the deputy collector, while the inspector states he never signed the receipts. The scent, ‘on inquiring, learned that there were eight thoue 18 of whiskey shipped from Buffalo to Boston phat could not be accounted for, and that it was Rot store¢ ina bonded warehouse, as required Dy law; also that the ratiroad which transported the whiskey had delivered it to cartmen, who claimed it for the firm of Post & Jones. liquor mercanta, and who uad negle'ed to take areceip’, On the agent inquiring for Post & Jones he was informed that there was no euch a arm in Boston. He then ay reg! to Collector Root, swho placed the matter in the hands of the United States District Attorney Hyde, of Boston. Collector Root on receiving tho agent's report, seized six thousand barrelsof whiskey and two thousand bushels of corn, belonging to John F. Perry, the: n'y shipper of whiskey in this district, A lotter was received to-day from the Disirict Attorney in Boston, in which he states that he has arrested six prominent citizens for being implicated, besides having Fecovered thres hundred barrels of whis! hi Deen permitted to examine the receipts which claimed by the internal revenue officers of Boston to be forgeries. They are signed and sealed by Collector W. H. MeCartoey, Askessor William J. King, and United States Inspector ©. Howe; and if forgeries, they are decidedly good ones, From the facts which I have gathered I am inclined to believe that the bonds were signed and sealed by pa of official in interna! revenue office in iy EVADING THE WHISKEY TAX.

They bave four cotton mills, amd their liabilities are estimated at about a quarter of a million sterling. The London 7imes, city article, says the Bank of England's account, just published, exbibite a feature with- out precedent, except on one occasion fifteen years ago. ‘The amount of builion held exceeds the amount of the note circulation in the bands of the public, On the 25th of June, 1852, when consols were about 101 ex. div., a similar circumstance took plare. The excess of bullion over circulation was then £700,128, and on the present Occasion ia £0,342; but before the end of the month, from the absorption of notes (hat takes place at the bank 0D account of revenue payment, # much larger difference ia likely to be witmessed. At present the bullion heid by the bank is nearly £2,000,000 above the extraordinary total temporarily reached in 1862, and there is every symptom of a further rapid augmentation.

The American oxcursionists in the steamer Quaker City visited the Emperor of Russia in a body, at his summer palace, three miles from here, yesterday, and were received with a cordiality snd freedom from cere- mony unnsual to royalty as seen by freemen. Russian officers remarked that no delegation from Europe would have been received so heartily. The Czar, the Empress, the Grand Duchess Maric, their young daughter aud a Grand Duke. their little son, received the party, and (he American Consul read a brief address, which had been prepared by the passougers. A number of great diguitaries of tho empire were bresent, After half an hour's conversation, the imperial farcily, with the Czar at their head, conducted the whole party throuzhout the piace, and afterwards, by invita. tion, they visited the palace of the Crown Prince of Russia. An invitation arrived from the Grand Duke Michel, and the company repaired to his palace, where tiey took luncheon with the Grand Duke and bis family. While this was transpiring the Emperor and his family came along, the ladies in a carriage and the Czar on horseback. The whole ship's company were the guests of the household the greater part of an afte and were as contented as if they were in *. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Grand Duke and his family were profuse in pleasant asseverations of friendship for America and the Americans, and said they wonld all visit the ships to-day if the sen were smooth, but unforto- nately it was very rough, and the opportunity of enter- taining them 1s lost to tie excursionts's. However, the traveilers have been visited by the Governor General and family, Count Festetics and Prince Dalzoronki the imperial houschold, tho Grand Admiral, Genera fodtleben, Baron Wrangel and many othor distinguished personages, and the day has been like a fate.

Salzburg Confer The following is the circular of M. Moustier to thé French diplomatic agents in regard to the meeting of the Emperors of France and Austria at Salzburg, already noticed in our cable despatches to the Heraty, The Marquis writes:— In going to Salzburg the Emperor and the Empress were guided by a sentiment which public opinion could not mistake; and I should refrain from writing to you now of the interview between the two sovereigns, had it not formed the subject of interpretations which tend to distort the character it possessed. The journey of thcir Majesties was solely dictated by the idea of bearing an affectionate testimony of sympathy tothe imperial family of Austria, s0 cruelly afflicted by a recent mistortune. Certainty the heads of jo great empires could not be together in confiding intimacy for several days without mutually commu cating to one anotber their impressions, and exchungiug ideas on questions of general interest; but neither the ‘nor the result of their interviews was the forma- tion of combinations which there is nothing in the pres- ent state of Europe to justify. You remember the lan- guage of the goverameni to the Emperor each time i it bas had occasion to explain itself respecting the Sates Army, on board the istier on the of things created .by the military event pee last summer, Our attitude was defined, first in the circular of the 16th September last; ‘again later, by the language of his Majesty the Emperor at the ae of the Sena‘e and togislative body; and lastly, by the speeches of the Minister of State uring the Patiamentary debates of last session, we have not ceased to show ourselves in all our actions faithful to the intentions which we have from the first manifested in presence of the changes that have takea place in Germany. At a recent conjuncture we bave seen the Cabinets of * Europe do justice to the straightforwardness of our pol- jey and lend their concurrence to our ideas of tion, What then occurred is a guarantee forthe ich, in case of need, ideas of moderation would ‘on receive from them. ‘ihe interviews of the Emperor ro aoe 7 with the peror Francis Joseph could therefore, the character attributed oe them by certain journalists. before both ents which ts united could not wering in the eir conversation upon affairs was limited to this assurance, woich ‘was mutually given; thus, far from considering the Salz- es interview asa subject for preoccupation and anxiety pepe Frome we should see ip it only @ fresh motive for confidence in the preservation of peace.

MOUSTIER, Lor THE WAR | ASPECT. French ‘Traders ae Fir fers Not Assured by French Diplomacy. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Tims writes: “No business at the Bourse, but plenty of Chassepot rifles in store. Thus may be summed up the present state of affairs here. Not oniy on the Paris Bourse, but throughout France, very litte business is doing, for confidence seerhs gone and credit dead. It is the natural consequences of nation’s destinies resting entirely in the bands of one man, that his smallest word excites alarm, and his most candid utterances find but hesitating acceptance. The present feeling is one of mistrust and apprehension as to the futare, and the pursuite of peace naturally suffer for it The prevailing inion «= undeniably is that next year will bring war. hether or not it i predestined to do so, the belief alone suffices to work incalculable mischief, The state of chronic apprehen- elon and restricted credit seems of nie to bave spread from France to other nations, and al! pe suffers for it The bp eh peer on even the most pacific of them, have that the hour of action is far removed ; and tbe French administration is bestirring iteelf to be ready for all eventualities.

He would leave the disposition of the moueys so accumulated to the discretion of the Legislavure, Mr. ALVoRD wanted a recognition of the canals. The plan of the Finance Committee would tie up the sur- Pius revenues so that 00 money could be used for the improvement of the cauals until the c: the advances made to the canals by taxation was paid. He was willing to set apart adefinite sum for the pay- ment of ihe canaldedt, but he would not com up the eighteen millions which bad been adv taxation so that it could not be used fur the denefi: of the canals, Mr. Cuurcm said the report of the Finance Committee was in accordance with the Muancial polcy of the con- stitution of 1846. A persistent effort was thade to muti- lato the priucipies of that report, All beasked was that it should bo fairly considered; but if the principles laid down in the article reported by the Finance Committee re overthrown by this Convention, be thauked God was another tribuual before wuich he would ap- ar and v.adicate them, Afver turther jon i w: reed without dissent that after the payment of the canal debt and theamount advauced siace 1848, the surplus revenue may be used for the improvement of the canal, or for such other purpose as the Legisiature may from time to time direct; but such mony shall not be anticipated or pledged, Mr. Auvoxp moved to sirike out the section which provides excopt for the payment of debts specitied uo tax shall bereatter be imposed upon the people of ihe Stato for works of interna! inprovement er their debts, unless authorized by a vute of the peop Mr, CuvRon said this gection provided a remedy for fn evil in the present constiiution, At present the Legislature could impose atax for any given purpose, and they bad been im the habit of doing so for the past ears, wotil th 1m of about dfteen mil- thus ralsed for varions purposes, ‘opposed the motion Losirike out the sec- ould soon be money enough to make all the improvements desired if we were not in too much of a burry.
