The Vera Cruz Jowrnai and private letters are silent upon the subject. The American men-of-war Ossipee, Suwane and Resaca and the English man-of-war Chanticleer were at Mazatlan, where other American vessels were expected. Cebitlo, the acting Bishop of Mexico, is dead.

HAVANA, May 6, 1868, AQ whwarrantable assault and battery was com- mitted on Consul La Reintrie, at the American Con- sulate, by the Havana Shipping Master, Garcia. Be produced several contusions on the person of the Consul. The cause of the attack is supposed to be the exposure of frauds on the American government committed by Garcia, Secretary Seward approved the Consul’s rejection of Garcia's services, who de- ferred his revenge unti) Captain General Lersundi’s absence. Consul Le Reintrie has telegraphed to Washington to demand redress. The Spanigh appointee has been arrested and itis trial will ta place in the Marine Court. The affair has created quite a sensation here. Count Balmaseda refused to allow the press repre- sentatives to telegraph the ocenrrence. The Consul has made application to the authorities to remove Garcia. Count Balmaseda replies that Gar- cia’s appointment being from Madrid, he will have to report the occurrence to the home government, which must decide the matter, Cases of the kind occur here by decades and all have to be referred to Madrid. Secretary Seward telegraphs the Consul that his assault will be redresaed the moment that a despatch which he has sent from Washington reaches here and Lersundi returns, He has taken extraordinary measures in the case which he will soom carry into effect and wiil abide the couseqnences. On Friday last Shipping Master Garcia was ar- rested aud after only three days’ imprisonment was set free on giving bail. The charge made against him is made out ina miia form. He is now canvass. ing to secure the favor and support of all the natives, ‘The Consui's application for redress and the equivocal reply of the Count Balmaseda have been forwarded with other sealed despatches to the American gov- ernment at Washington, and must have been re- ceived already. The Captain General is expected to return on the oth inst., and it is probable that the shipping thaster, Garcia, will be removed.

The press of Santtago are going to peti- tion him to remove the censor and remove the abuses in the municipal government, At Cienfuegos Consul F. F, Cavada has been re- moved, though a naturalized Cuban, The authorities here regard natives born as incompatible with such offices. It is supposed that others will follow. ‘The steamers Liberty and Cuba have been con- demned to pay fines for alleged irregularities in their manifests. The owners have consuited eminent law- yers in Baltimore, who have replied by telegraph not to pay the fines, but transfer the vessels to the Amer- ican Consul’s custody rather than surrender them to the authorities. The same course has been pursucd in the case of the brig Omaha and others. = * ENGLAND. The Church Question Debate—The High Church Tories in Immense Assemblage. ¥ Lonpon, May 6, 1863.

There was much tumult and confusion at this point of the proceedings. ‘The resolutions were finally adopted and the meet- ing adjourned. North American Cession to the Crown. Lonpon, May 6, 1868.

Christian Union was held last evening at the beaut!- ful littie Church of the Messiah, corner of Thirty- fourth street and Park avenue. The object of this organization of practical Christians is to unite every sect and secular denomination under one broad heading for the furtherance of real religion. By them party creeds are woven together, the stambling blocks of bigotry and idealiem set at naught and the whole Christian Church of the world at large ect running on the broad gauge of rauionalism and liberai Christianity. The Secretary, Mr. Metien, in hie seni- annual report of the proceedings of the Union ob- served yesterday afternoon, when the conference preceding the evening meeting was held, that throughout the world, and throughout this country in particular, where freedom of thought and free- dom of profession are enjoyed in the largest measure, the tide of pubiic sentiment is very perceptibly and strongly setting in paraliel if not identical lines with that of the Socety. Deplored and denounced as is this tendency by some, or rejoiced at and encouraged as it is by others, the fact’i# too patent to be argued. It i attested quite as conclusively by Papal encyel\- cals, Episcopal falminations and evangelical resolu- tions agatost it, as by the broader literatare, the freer spirit and the hurtian temper which illustrate it. Christians of all fames are coming to regard the seminal ideas of the Liberal Christian Union with far less aversion than formerly, partly because they are attaining a better apprehension of them, and partly because of areal change in their own convietions, ‘The fulness of She time for their announcement seems indeed to have now come, #o that all that is watiting to their rapid diffusion, if not general acceptance, is a lae sense of the Society's responsibility, coupled with a resolute and persistent effort to discharge It. Since the the Conference only one new Meld of jabor had been attempted, and here the working of the Unton had been equally successful as elxewhere, At Newburg the congrega- tion had doubied since Angnst, 1807, and a new church called by the riate name of Our Father is in Fg of erection.

Liberalism in Enzland with reference to religious. ae owes ererythlng. to the Unitarian sect. that Wrapt up the whole strength of the liberalism ot ne. old country, When that noble body of inen, 2000 strong, cut themselves off from the Established Church of England in order that they might worship just according to their own convictions, and built this little chapel in London for that purpose, their little thought how the tide of Cnitarianism would rise on until it reached its present grand dimensions, They were the precur- sors of the t liberal Christi irit, the anni- versary of the society to inculcate which is celebrated to-night, The Arian movement and the change that arose in the Presbyterian Church were alike evi- dences of the want of the age, and in the Unitarian Church of te ts embodied all these ideas, and the brave spirit of free Christianity and a confident belief in the future, which actuated the little band that started the Church so many years ago. There is, little doubt that the change of the manufacturin: centres in England had much to do with the spre: of liberalism in religious sentiment, When thectoth manufactories were removed to the north of Eng- land, to be contiguous to the coal and cotton manufacture became established in ‘hes- ter, then free chapels began to be set up, and ditfer- ent congregations of various denominations wor- shipped according to thetr own especial creed. The best agent of the Unitarian Church has been the steam engine. Wherever the black smoke was ab- there the listless congregations of the ‘Batablahed ere congregations of the Is Church nodded beneath the dull remarks of their itor; and wherever the tramp of the engine was heard and the black smoke seen, there were Unitarian 1s to be observed, In the agri- cultural districts of England the education of the workingman is lamentably deficient. He has no ob- ject in life and no hope in the future; but ia the manufacturing districts the mechanics are intefi- gent, educated and believe in a God and worship Him as they have a mind to. Doctor Coienzo spoke out against some of the absurd dogmas English. Established Chureh, but the rians his very objections long bef and if they had been brave and fearless enough to ‘tell they knew their position at the present day would be far better than what itis. Mr. Sharman then spoké at length on the principles of the Established Church of the old country, and concluded. by prognasticating that he believed the time would come when all the misera- ble schisms and sectarian dogmxs which now split up the Christian Church would be abolished, and all believers would unite under one brotiverhood in one Part principle of faith in the name of their common ‘ather.

But as the “dignity and honor’ of the English must be maintained at all hazards, our protracted stay in the land of the Abyssinian Negus need concern nobody except the persons with it, whose appetites are in- creasing at a fearful rate. Our animals also, who, when first landed, were rather delicate, grow strong under the plentiful supply of grain which the silver dollars call forth. It was, I believe, well unders:ood. by everybody that the British fleld force were to be on their return by the lat of April, having achieved the release of the unfortunate captives; but it will be a miracle if we see the walls of Magdala before that day, and there are many bets in camp that we Shall not see them before the Ist of May, and if Theo- dorus is as wise and brave as he is reported, our stay may be protracted indefinitely, although British pluck and obstinacy are proverbrat. At the present camp on Lake Ashangi, which place we arrived at yesterday, there are 4,500 men, The heavy artillery and mountain batteries are behind, because the elephants are so footsore that boots have to be provided for them before they can suc- ceed in coming up the tremendous ghauts between here and Antalo. Though Sir Robert intends to march to-morrow, we shall be compelled to halt some- where between here and Magdala, to allow the artil- lery to come up. It is barely possible that he io- tends to march on Magdala and then await the arrival of the guns, without which the labor of at- tacking Theodorus will be in vain. If he adopts that method It will certainly be a novel one, never before ‘attempted in this age of artillery, Some ideas have been formed of what this famous fortress is by the Awbas, whose rocky peaks evefywhere pierce the horizon, and if Magdala resembles these Ambas the only way to reduce it will be by a regular siege of many months’ duration. From what your correspondent has seen of the nature of the country through which we are at pre- sent travelling, any other plan of releasing the pri- soners must certainly have been a failure. An idea of what this gala country really is, where the dim- culties of travel are increased tenfold, may be formed by imagining the States of New York and Pennsyl- vania to be a mass of peaks similar to Long’s Peak, north of Denver, in the Rocky Mountains, Around the base of these hills and up their steep sides, at right angles with each turn, the road winds up over which the army must cross. Looking up at the long line of men and animals from some deep chasm, | have very often likened them to a flock of eagies slowly sailing to their eyries in the Ambas, or “High Mountains,’ A reduction was ordered to be made in the number of servants and camp followers, but with few excep- tions the order was not carried into effect. Many of the officers totally disregarded it, and allowed their ghorawallahs, potuwallahs, panewallahs, khetmut- gars, khitini bawarchs, hamalis and dhobees to come along, deeming them indispensable for their health and comfort. One officer, who is an aide-de-camp, but a titled noble, has thirteen of these adjuncts to a luxurious life, aud what prevents others from following his example, thus swelling an army of 4,500 effective fighting men to 15,000 soula, whose presence is but. clogs to its advance, and this is the main reason why halts are so frequent. There are three intermediate stations between Antalo and Ashangi Lake. These are Meshack, Mushee and Alttia, each station ut fifteen miles thus making the distance Antulo here xty miles. From the lake to lala the distance ia eighty miles, which can be ed within six 8 t Altila the Commander-in-Chief, Sir Robert Napier, was visited by Weins Yasoos, or the Son of Jesua, the chief of the province of W at, ac- cording to an invitation sent to him. Amba Alejjil, where he was residing with a son of 600 mus- keteers, was a sharp, conical hill, rising 250 feet per- eng ge eetak a ee which towered. er ‘Valley through yhick wi Amba Allejjii rose up a from the enn 3,500 feet English army were ‘which lined its extreme proviied provisions. From i inaccessibility the chief of Woggerat was left unmo lested by all the rival chiefs whose dominions bor- dered on bis own, and he had defied both Prince Kussal, of , and Waagshum Gobazy, each with an army 40,000 men; but owing to desertions from his force he had been latterly inclined to listen to some propositions made to him by Gobazye, of ‘whom he ts at the present time an ally. Welda Yasoos was received with ali the honors due his rank, and after being introduced by Captain , the Bashaw Felecca of Theodorus’ army, and been given, $ bert pr which he had invited by ome ‘a wish that there should be peace between the English and his people, and that he le to supply his camp with pro- Oo wae a xtately, man, with fine Can features, though of a rather dusky com- plexton, said with great dignity that he had ulready utted his people to trade with the Fernighees, en said that he had received certain informa- tion that Kussal, Prince of Tigre, was yo his People to give him hatte, and as the #ernighee chief, like the rhinoceros, plunged through his country, broken down the bushes and cleared # path for his enemy, Kuseai, it was but right that he should try and reuade Kussai not to to war against fim, Sir Robert Napier Femied that the Tigrean chief meant to fight inasmuch as he hat prowived him faithfully to desiag while the English were im the country, joos replied that Lis mformation was cor. rect, and unless the Fernighee chief wished to see hia convoys destroyed he had better write a letter to Kussai urging bim to desiat from war. The Koglish General was convinced that his transporte must, suffer, and he would use all efforts to keep at peace with all except the Abyssinian King. On being asked whether he thought Theodorus would fight his brother Buria, Gurias replied that he firm belief that Abyssinia had not seen for many a century @ braver or @ greater king. ie len pressed surprise that 61 without striking @ blow, said, “Ask Bashaw Pelevea, ai on, knows hin well.” Captain Speedy was of the ypin- jon that Theodorus would offer a Cexperate resistance, which opinion Yasoos endorsed emphatically. On being avked by Merewether, who was present, Wliy they gave such contradictory answers, they answered boldly that they had only done #e to the Eng- Nish.

The scenery became more atiractive than it had been since we left Senafe. The hills were covered with forests of juniper trees; every gully, or ravine, ap- peared to be cultivated.’ This attractiveness of the country increased until we had attained the sammit, of the fast mountain, which excluded Lake Ashanghs from view. All eyes were instantly drawn to that point where the lake lay cradled ie ‘ap of & mountain, so serenely placid that it resembled a strange mirror, ex- pate of blue water, coming 80 suddenly and NH such striking contrast to the barren steppes and arid plains that we had been accustomed to, together with the towering mountains at its southern extrem- ity, clothed with luxuriant and verdant forests of koiquall and kusso, and the vailey which stretched from the glistening waters of tue lake to the base of the Amba on which we stood, teeming with abundant and varied vegetation, fields of waving corn, weadows rich with rarer pone and groves of douni palms and rhododendrons—no delicate busi but sturdy trees, every branch of which glowed in a blaze of crimson flowers—was @ sight, wl no other part of Africa could repeat. freshing verdure, the novelty of the blue giad surprise evoked by the graceful scenery, © not but excite sympathy and contribute delight to with marching over the scorched pla- Africa.

The wansey tree which flourished on th’s elevation of 9,600 feet, whose branches were thick with buds ready to expand inio snow white flowers as soon as the rainy season menced, invited the artists who were busy the beautiful scene to sit under the shade, fon its a dome like form nothing could have served t:1 purpose better.

Bixty-seven Tnules died on the route from Antalo to Ashanghi, so excessive were the ditticu ties of the roads, and several men were added to the sick list, who became sick from sheer exhaustion. The latest news from Theodorus’ camp Is to the effect that he has fortitied Daianta, and that he has changed his tactics lately. Not long ago he used to be very cruel to the inhabitants of the provinces through which he was forced to pass, burning their villages and torturing thera until they Informed him where they concealed their treasure. Now, when a case of treason is brought betore him he dismisses the prisoner with kind words and a present of tea dollars; but deserters he continues to punish in the most terrible manner. He has issued a prociama- tion in lus camp Informing his soldiers tuat the English were coming to plunder the country, but that it has been prophesied to him that he shall gain @ great viciory before his death, and that his victory 1s to be gained over the Englisa.

Bardel is the one who gives him ali the news and relutes all that is said of him in the papers. ‘These newspapers are sent to him by @ friend at Massowah, so that Theo- dorus is very well informed of what is going on, and very probably will be prepared for the worst.
