The German mail steamship Deutschland, Captain ‘Wessels, from Southampton on the 16th of June, ernyed at this port at an early hour yesterday morning, farnishing mail report in detail of our @able dispatches, dated to her day of sailing. A Vienna letter in the Paris Patrie favors the sup- position that the assassination of Prince Michel of Servia was due toa politica: cause. This was shown by the assassins killing Madame Anka as well as the Prince, and thus cutting off the two heads of Ser- wis; for, says the writer, “Madame Anka was the weal sovereign.” The letter gives details of the wourder. The three assassins pounced on the Prince, Madame Anka and her daughter, as they approached ‘the turn of a dense thicvet in the pleasure grounds adjoining the villa of Topchideré, Two of them @tincked the Prince; the third fired at the ladies; their bullets struck five persons in all. “It was found that one shot had gone through the Prince’s neck, and another shattered his skull, Madame Anka still Yved, and was able to give the names of the mur- derers.

Vrenna, June 10, 1868. If the settlement with Hungary was the prominent “event of 1867, the settlement of the finances of the ‘empire is the characterizing and dominant event of this year, so far as the politics of the country are e@oncerned. Inasmuch as Hungary, under the settle- ment, had consented only to pay a fixed annual gum towards the interest and redemption of the debt of ‘the oid united empire, the burden of settling with ‘the national creditor was placed upon the shoulders ef the Reichsrath and the ois-Leithan Ministry. The performance of this delicate task, in which there ‘was the Scylla of the public creditor on the one hand and the Charybdis of the taxpayer on the ether hand to. consider, was the crucial test of the efficiency of the present responsible Minis- try. A short résumé of the facts which led to the framing of the issue, which, after a four days’ morn- ing and evening debate, was decided yesterday, will probably be necessary to the comprehension of the Gecision itself. On the 2th of March Finance Minister Brestel brought forward a three years’ budget. It included, ‘@# its main provisions, a property tax, a non-com- sory unification of the State debt, a stoppage of repayment of the capital of the debt and a special coupon tax amounting to seventeen per cent. The Principle on which she special coupon tax was based ‘was this:—That the share of the interest which Hun- gary had agreed to pay was twelve millions of florins Jesse than she would have paid had the empire nos Been dnalized. Of course the people of Weet Austria could not be expected to assume this ad- itional burden; and, therefore, to that extent, the State peredioe anuat compart oa mulct. Further than that the Auerspe inet were not pi to go, as any higher mulct would be an act of ios Uce to the creditor and a partial act of bankruptcy on the part of West Austria in particular. When the Ministerial econ got before the Reicherath Budget Comm! that body struck out ‘the corner stone of the Ministerial scherne—namely, Me property tax—and with it the three years’ term. n upon & compulsory conversion of the Brate de! As regards the taxation of the State creditor, however, an important difference arose in fe ranks. The minority of the same accepted the principie of the government that the State creditor Ought only to be mulcted to the extent of the Hun- abatement of payment, but the minority that abatement at fifteen millions of forins, instead of twelve, and accordingly fixed the coupon tax at twenty per cent 4n leu of the government's seventeen. The majority — committee proceeded on the principle of a necessity and of Ly ny ends meet in the most convenient manner. ley proposed, there- fore, not a coupon tax, but a reduction of interest to the amount-of twenty-five per cent. Both majority and minority were agreed in principle that in lieu of the rejected property tax other taxes must be levied to cover the deficit; but the minority felt it to be their duty to give more ypecnen to this thelr opinion, than the majority did, aud to recommend a ve income tax and taxes on articlea of for debate on last. Wed- ne 4 ets v majori reports—namely, 8 twenty-five r cent reduction of interest or a twenty Tr cent coupon tax. The proposition of the major- y was first voted down by 113 against 46. A com- romise Proposition to make the coupon tax twenty- ve per cent was then voted down by 100 against 58, ‘and lastly the proposition of the minority report ‘was accepted by the same numbers as in the case of jast named vote. The minority of the House sonsisted of the Poles, the Slovenes, the Tyroiese, Snd about ten members of the Left. The position taken up by the Ministry during this @ebate was as followa:—They heldto their own origi- Dai proposals as the best. Nevertheless they declared that they were not wedded to a property tax, and would, if the House wishes it, accept the hints of the minority report as regards new taxation, ‘They niso were rendy to accept the twenty per cent coupon tax, because the minority had pro- ceeded upon the same principle as the government, and had differed in their calculations only from the latter. But Prince Carlos Auersperg distinctly de- clared to the House that the government would not out the resolutions of the majority report, ‘which were unjust to the State creditor. Hereupon the financial crisia bec: ‘& Ministerial crisis, and this declaration, made only towards the close of the debate, did not fail to create an immense sensation im the House, and several members who do not want to administer a vote of want of confidence to the government changed sides, and voted with the twenty per cent men on political, not on financial grounds. Baron Beust, who site im the Chamber of Deputies as representative from Reichenberg, in Boliemia, apoke on the second day of the debate from @ seat in the centre of the House. He dwelt upon the interhational aspect of the propositions for muilcting the State credit He said:—‘"! measure Would cost me many an unpleasant could foresee. * * * Nevertheless I perfectly comprehend that the Minister of Foreign AtTuirs must take into account the necessities which arise out of the internal situation of the empire; that he must accommodate himself to them; that he must rep- eeent them as far a# possible, | atm conscious of ng thought and acted in this sense, and there- On the other hand, [hope that the Reichsrath, and expecially this House, wit! also take into account the task Which the Minister of Foreign Atfairs has to perform under diMcult circumstances, that this House Will not deem it to be its duty to enhance the dim- culty of this task and by intensifying an unwelcome but absolutely necessary measure render its defence abroad almost an impossibility. In the course of this debate reference has repeatediy been made to the settlement with Hungary that lies in the nature of juxury. The issue that came w Mesday, and was decided ‘Was that which was f&nd = =minority this debate, It has, however, often been referred to ‘ae something which is to he deplored. 0; a the question is, on the other hand, whether the set- tlement was to be made at all, immer ourselves upon the domain of hypotheses which give free p) the imagination in regard to what would now be happening.

His articula- tion is not good, and I find it extremely difficult to catch his opp This debate and these divisions are only the first Pitched battle. Minister Brestel declares that he ‘will bring in his amended proposals for new taxa- tion at the autumn session, and every step of this und will be hotly contested, as one-third of the louse hold firmly to the theory that West Austria is too poor to bear any more taxation whatever. Prince Napoleon arrived here from Munich and Stutgardt on Friday night. He is en route for Pesth, Bucharest and Constantinople. He is staying at the Golden Lamb, in oldstadt, and travels as the Comte de Meudon. ‘esterday early he received @ visit from Baron Benst, At eleven o'clock Francis Joseph himself visited the Prince in his hotel and the Prince returned the visit the same day in the Burg. After visiting the Kaiser he called upon the Arcndukes, who are still in town. At five o'clock the Duke de Grammont, the French Ambassador at this court, gave a dinner in honor of the Prince, at which the imperial, West Austrian and Hungarian Ministers were present; also Admiral Depethor, the ‘Turkish Ambassador and the representative of Wur- temberg. It has been observed that neither the am- bassadors of Great Britain, Russia nor Prussia were among the invited guests. The Prince, who had only intended to stay two or three days In Vienna, 4# 80 pleased with the ctty and his company that he has prolonged his stay for a week. ‘The Trieste Zvitung, of June 1, announces that the first civil marriage under the new law took place in that city on the 25th of last month, ENGLAND.

Inthe House of Lords, June 1 raised a discussion in reference to the public schools of Great Britain. His object, he said, was to have an inquiry into the course of education at these institutions, The bill now before Parliament he re of, but it only deals with the government the schools. He ts anxious to have less Greek and Latin in the course of study, and more of mathemat- ies and other subjects, Lord Clarendon and several other peers opposed any further inquiry at present, and the matter dropped. Mr. Disraeli was making active preparation to bring the Parliamentary session to a close. June 15 he obtained the consent of the House of Commons to @ proposal that from the 1st July government should have Tuesdays given to it for official business, Fur- ther, he obtained the sanction of the House for morn- ing sittings after the fashion of those introduced last year, when the House met at two o'clock, sat till seven, and then respmed at nine. ‘he intention of the government as to the measures which are to be reased through was not quite clear. The Irish Re- form bill and the Registration bill seemed to be the only other measures upon which they will insist. In the House of Commons, June 15, the Irish Re- form bill bea in committee on the clause which fixes the qualification in boroughs at being rated at more than £4 being read. . Lawson moved an amendment to make the qualification a rating at £4 and upwards. Government op the amend- ment on the ground that it would disturb the rating arrangements of the country, and, on a division, Mr. Lawson was defeated by 188 votes to 177. Govern- ment abandoned another of its vital principles. There is to be no boundary commiasion for Ireland; but in the boroughs the municipal and parliamen- tary boundaries are to be the same. There was a long discussion in reference to the payment of the ex of conveying voters to the The clause wi rohibited this was eventi agreed to, but ex na were made in favor of certain boroughs and co All the clauses save those which were postponed were nee manien hens intimated to the electors of Nottingham that it is not his intention to offer him- self as a candidate for the represent of the borough.

The court was densely crowded. Lord lagh was present. Madame Rachel did not ther satisfied with the arrange- ments for her defence; she had wished, she said, to have the services of Sergeant Ballantine, and, for that purpose, she had fifty guineas in the hands of her golicttor, who, however, to obtain Mr. tine’s aid. 'She had also been disappoint- ed by a person who told her that if she paid a certain sum of money the charge would be set aside. When Madame Rachel had stated her dimculties to the Magistrate the examination of Mrs. Borradaile went on. Mrs. Borradaile, after creating some amusement by that on one occasion she had receivea Rachel a love token in the shape of a lighted cigar, which she believed came from Lord Ranelagh, created no less surprise by declaring that, to the best of her belief, the Lord Ranelagh she saw in court and the gentleman who was introduced to her by that title in 1866 were one and the same person. On the other hand, one James Minton, an auctioneer’s clerk, deposed to having been employed to write letters to Mrs. Borrodaile, at Madame Rachel's dictation. Lord Ranelagh once more declared that he had nothing whatever to do with the affair and the case was adjourned, jame Rachel being again required to find the heavy bail of two sureties in £1,000 each and herself in £2,000. A somewhat extraordinary action—Risk Allah vs. ‘Whitehurst and others—in which the dai 3 Were laid at £20,000, was commenced in the Court of Queen's Bench, London. ‘The defendants are con- nected with the London 7elegraph newspaper. The plaintiff is the Syrian gentieman whose trial in Brus- sels for the double crime of murder and of forgery excited so much interest throughout Europe towards the close of the year 1866. Risk Allah was cl with the murder of @ young gentleman named Readily, a connection of his deceased wife, in whose death he was supposed to have had some leg 4 interest, and who was found shot through the head in the bedroom ofa hotel at Brussels, in which he and Risk Allah lodged. After a trial which lasted some days, Risk Allah was acquitted. His complaint against the London Trie- graph is that that journal ali along assumed that he was guilty, both tn its correspondence from Brussels, written during the trial, and in the leading article that follow his acquittal. The imputations in- volved in the Brussels charges are not the only ones from which Risk Allah has had to clear his charac- ter; he was at one time suspected, though it appears without reason, of having poisoned his wife, aad at another, an action was brought against him in reference to some share transactions, from which some offensive imputations arose that were, however, with- drawn at the termination of the trial. ‘The 7v/e- graph's mode of dealing with these imputations formas one of the subjects of the action. Mr, Serjeant Parry detailed ali these circumstances at great length in his opening address for the piainti and read numerous extracts from the article and letters com, plained of. The trial ended in a verdict of coed Lord Stanhope damages against the newspaper, as reprinted in the Haravo's cable telegram from London the other day. FRANCE.

FINE ARTS EXHIBITION IN PARIS. What is to be Seen in the Salon d?Honneur, Champs Elysees—Review of the Paintings— German and Other Worke—Artistic Ideas of Adam and Eve—The “Beggar Giving Alms”—American Contributions. Pants, June 9, 1868. The first painting which strikes the visitor on entering the Salon d’Honneur at the Champs Elys¢es is a Prussian artist’s extensive canvass (Meister) representing the Emperor Napoleon, the King of Prussia and Emperor of Russia on horseback at a review. The illustrious riders are of a particularly unfortanate color, the horses are grouped without taste, and what is supposed to be the Bois de Bou- logne race course looks like a fleld of toys stuck up around big leaden rings. The subject of the picture and ita dimensions must alone have prevailed with the jury when they gave it so conspicnous a piace of honor. The next large patch is also the work of a Prus- sian contributor (Memzel). It is the coronation of William I., King of Prussia, at Kénigsberg, in 1861. ‘This picture would last well as an engraving; but as it hangs before the public it is a painfuf glare of ruby red. The hangings are crimson, the dresses are red, and, when not of noisy glow, are of brimstone and sulphur tints. The King, in coronation robes, is surrounded by officials in official robes. He is inun- dated with divine right; and were it not the duty of 8 critic to go his rounds until mental exhaustion doth ensue, without any regard to physical trials, the most beneficial plan for his vitals wouhl be, after viewing the above, to turn out on clover; but exactly behind him—that is, opposite this glaring picture— spreads Porion’s “Queen of Spain on Horseback, attended by the great military men of her army,” who are also mounted. There is no knowing what the painter’s notion is of impressions conveyed on a battle fleld; but if he fancies that the great military defenders of her Most Catholic Majes- ty’s possessions inspire beholders with anything but commiseration for their evident infirmities he has a most robust imagination. 1 should say Marshal Nar- vaez felt his sitting in every respect. As to the Queen, her Majesty is the impersonation of a vulgar fat lady riding down. She is flanked by her sallow, puny-looking husband, more bilious than martial at first sight. There is much apace left unfilled in the royal consort, and certainly no room at all left for more enlightened Catholicity in the Queen. The fourth oMcial picture in the Salon is the Em- press at the Hospital of Amiens, where she visited the choleric, it may be remembered, in 1866. I have said that the picture is official, and all paintings ordered to commemorate virtues officially are stiff, The outlines of this are hard, the color monotonous and forced. With the exception of the principal figure, that of Eugénie, there is nothing graceful or touching. The patients are laid out in rows, as is truly correct, but one bed out, of the many been viewed, one moving scene between the Empresa ¢ charity and a sufferer, with many less courtiers in wondering attitudes, the same idea with more unity would have been comveyed. The most objectionable painting of all in this Square imperial court of art ts the “Creation of Eve,"’ by Bin, Nothing can be more humbling to humanity than this idiotic aspect of its frst mother. Adam, an uncouth, uagentiemanly looking ancestor, is spraw)- ing on the ground, If the painter is gifted with second sight and has really seen Eden in a vision there is no accounting at all for Jobn Milton. The Divine presence is ot by a kind of Hercules flourishing in a blue mantle, lined with yellow overhead. None of what man in his most adoring aspirations ¢an conceive to be the loved attributes of the Almighty are discerni- ble. A gigantic foot kicking out of the clouds, short- ened and flat, pats the finishing stroke to what is thus ludicrous from beginning to end, and still what an admirable subject It was to depict with “Paradise Lost” in hand ! It would appear that a painter had but to copy from the imaged language before him. There are other complaints to make in other rooms, but what remains to be said of pictures tn the Salon @Honneur t« far more agreeable. A grand and splendid canvas is a ceiling, by Mazerolle, “T' Birth of Minerva.’ Vulcan is standing, mighty strong, on the steps of the throne, ust cleft the head ef Jupiter and the gorides — from it like @ jet spring, lance in hand, in ethe- real’ space. Juno, in the attitude of an- tique stands majestic and angered. Venus e are on the front plan looking up in wonder. In the distance are seen other god- desses waving and floating in Olympian vapor. The great dificulty in ceiling painting i# here attalned; the figures are luminous, light and almost transpa: rent, while notuing heavy or tortuous weighs like hanging aerolithes on I now raised eyesight. come t icture that has been very diversely criti ure that is more ideal than aught else and more strange than real, Your readers are begged to fancy a wide range of arid stonework from right to left of the picture, This is skirted behind by a dim procession of Roman sol- diery moving along under leaden darkness. They have just crucified our Lord and the two thieves Whowe crosses are only shadowed over the rocky ground, ‘The centre cross shadow, that of Jesus, is distinguished from the oth wo by the lovely forms This is all. These shadows on ” a ve disappointed no one. stand around and look for Jerusalem, and cannot take it out, ‘The poetical idea is not under- stood. ‘Thick, dense crowds stand also in mute and warm admiration before Viger's “Gavot steps.” In this painting Mm vatnier is seen learning the gavot Of her master Vestris: she ts standing up with Lady Georgiana Duchess of Bedford. Both beauties ure in full empire dress; one is fair, the other dark: the movements of the courtly dance are admirably given and nothing can surpass the perfection of drapery painting. The satins and gauzes of the dan and ladies looking on over tea are ail but iifelike, and amateurs of e.aborately painted cabinet subjects are fully satiated. Mme. de Stacl, tothe left, is perfectiy portrayed. As it is said in “Memotra of the Timea!’ that the lesson was given to the sounds of the harp and horn there are players of both these instruments to the right. The Sévres china cups, empire shapes, look like pieces of choice selection from the inu- senna, Guietave Doré’s “Neophyte” and the “Death of Ney’? I will paas over, and turn to Roussean’s ad- mirable “Summer Flowers.” They are indeed earth's beloved children in their prime placed in two stone jars. Critica wieh the bi ground had been jess sombre and that such a great painter as Noossean bad attempted an innova DAY, JUNK 28, 1868—TRIPLE’ SHEET. tion by shedding sunlight behind these flashy, lovely groups, they have observed that it is conventional to paint dark grounds behind red poppies—that one flower offers suMcient shade to ite nelghbor for the purpose of contrast; but I am of the opinion of many, who find it easier to criticise than execute, namely :— Rousseau’s flowers are faultless in themselves. e same must be said ofa splendid plate of fruit, with down on raspberries and hazy on aa e I will leave the paucipe! room for Victor Giraud’s sensational and di scene. It represents a hus- band and wife, the former nig | latter down @ steep staircase, at the bottom of which lies. her lover. The injured husband holds a revolver over the rival, who had taken advant of his Ce, for the work is catalogued ‘‘The Husband’s Return.” ‘The accessories and materials are ly ited, the velvet and satin attire is no one rested by this can pass by without being ar! by remark- able paint or feeling as interested in the scene as in a novel signed Bradcon. I wish I could say as much for another scene of the same kind, which is so perfectly improbable that the breach of the SormAnCineyst JORaGn adultery elicits most comical ideas. A sweetly reposii has a gentleman by her side who is not her lord, an who is dressed in noth! but—a itar from his neck, The infuriated and legal husban rushes in, naturally attracted by the harmonious strains of the mandoline. He has a dagger in hand. ‘The ponng illegal tunes up a serenade, and the scene can be imagined, What should be rather an uncom- fortable couch is turned into amateur performances. The painter may remark that the incident takes place in Spain, where nothing can go on without a guitar. It may certainly add local coloring; but Spaniards are very queer if we do admit that the above situation is probable, And now I come to the three great landscapes of e exhibition—Corot’s “Morning at Ville d’Avraz,’’ id Daubigny’s two grand canvases, “The Spring” aad “Moonrise.” The first, by Corot, confirms the Parisian dictum, ‘Nothing is so fine as a fine Corot.” Ladd, “out of Paris,” having seen some American landscapes which Parisiané may have not. ‘That is ‘no fauitof Corot; his “Morning”? ts all fresh, invigor- ating atmosphere, all crystalline stream, all buzz of myriad insects, all dew, all sun and haze. The trees shake off their morning fog and man breathes free); as he contempiates this picture. Daubigny’s “Spring”? is a large plain lighted by the sun from a distance, ‘The front is verdant aud teeming with roused nature. The apple blossoms fall like snow on a young palr threading their way through high and poppies, “Moonrise” is the reverse; it is all repose and rest.

I should, with all my admiration for some of Courbet’s works, be sorry to see a beggar among the Senators, and especially this one.

Once a week there will be held a Cabinet council. The hones nto and Empress are very early risers. ‘The latter is out in the grounds soon after sunrise.

A volution- ary sans culotte pegged them up round his room in mockery, but they were repurchased by Napoleon I. and have been carefully preserved ever since. ‘This bedroom was called the apartment of the three Maries, it is now the room of the six sovereigns, thus named:—Marie de Medicis, Therese.
