The draft was delivered to Baron Stoecki and the proper papers in return ex- changed. The Chinese Embassy. It ig not correct that the expense attending the Presence of the Chinese Embassy in Washington will be defrayed by the American government, at the rate of a round thousand a day, making upwards of $50,000, Mr, Burlingame has the entire charge of the Embassy, its financial as well as diplomatic affairs, All the expenditures of the Embasay are carefully noted, and duplicates of the accounts returned to the home government, where the most liberal arrangements have been made to meet every reasonable and necessary de- mand, Mr. Burlingame’s personal expenses are paid out of his own salary. Among the items in the bill of expenses is $1,700 for hack h.re. ‘The Embassy will leave here for the North on the noon train, proceeding directly to New York. Thence they resume thelr journey, stopping at Auburn, the home of Secretary Seward, where they will pass several days, They will then start for the Falls of Niagara, returning to Boston, and on August 19 will sail for ve, It is toll of the late Chinese banquet that a naum- ver of the carpet-bag representatives were intro. luce » Mr. Burlingame, and in the course of con- ion it was discovered that seven of these dis- Unguished poiitical piigrims were from Mr. Bur- lingame's own district in Massachusetts, Military orce in the Reconstracted thern States, ‘The readmission of most of the Southern States to‘ thelr representation in Congress will necessartly lead to some modification of the military system in the South, It is supposed that the districts will be en- larged eo a# to require less commatdlers of high rank, Tl ls expected that upon General Grant's ree turn from the West something wil! be done tn this important matter, though it is not likely the military force will be materially reduced, as t e ie still a Jarge and turburient element in the South which needs thé fear of the armed power of the government to yep it in due obedience to the constitution and the se The Whiskey Tax. mmisstoner of Internal Revenue bas given y telegraph to collectors that «pirite may be *n from bond on the payment of fifty cents jon and four dollars per barre! of forty gal- ‘i to sixty cente @ proof gallon, All distii- ywed until the distillers have given a complied with the recently passed her partioulars, The Internat Revenne Commissiovership, The m (ion of interest here just now is as 4 fhe President will do concerning the Inter- There seems to be littie doubt lerermination to make an ad will of course relieve As the latter holds new bouds law in all ¢ to wh nai Revenue ntinent, :whibls present ineumbent.

As the President has the power to transfer the head of one bureau to another there ts some talk about his appointing General N. L. Jeffries, at pregent Register of the Treasury, to Rollins’ place. A few days will show who Isto be the lucky individual. At present it does not seem to be known who wil! getit. Upto five o’clock this afternoon Rollins had not received any notification that his snecessor had been selected. Applicants for Office Under the New Tax Bin, * There are twenty-five supervisors and twenty-five detectives to be appointed under the new tax Dill. Since it was signed by the President large numbers of applications have been filed at the oMice of In- ternal Revenue for appointments to these positions, Many of the applicants being collectors and asses- sors seeking promotion.

By September, in time for the meeting of Congress, Mr. Wade will return to the national capital, He in- tends, as occasion offers, to let off a stump speech for the benefit of the people along his line of travel. Promotion of General Hovey. ™”"~ Among the recent confirmations by the Senate was the nomination by the President of Brigadier-General Charles E. Hovey, of Illinois, to be Brevet Major- General for gatlant and meritorious services rendered during the late war. The Charges Against General Dyer. The Committee on Ordnance, having foisted their ex parte report upon the country, appear to be very slow to accede to the request of General Dyer to hold a court of inquiry or encourage a court mar- tial. This action seems to indicate that, having given their side in a way calculated to effect the pur pose of a portion of the committee—the ru inof the omMicial and personal character of General Dyer— they are neither anxious nor willing to go any ‘further and turn their attention to the side of justice. If something be not speedily done General Dyer will demand dn investigation on the part of the War De- partment, which cannot be withheld, and will thus seek redress and show the fallacy of the charges of corruption if they be false. Supervisor of Foreign Mails. James H. Blackfan, chief clerk in the Postmaster General's office, was to-day appointed to fill the new ofice of Supervisor of Foreign Mails, Mr. Blackfan will conduct all the business connected with his office from this city. Discharge of Soldier Clerks from ¢ Department. Considerable commotion has sprung up in conse- quence of the dismissal of a large number of soldier clerks from the War Department. Secretary Scho- field has ordered an investigation into the truth of the statements that such clerks have been discharged while less competent or a larger proportion of citizen clerks have been retained. If this be found correct an examination will be made of applicants, and the most meritorious will be reinstated.

SPAIN. The Revolutionary State Prisoncrs at Cadiz— Plans of Dethronement of the Queen—Exile of the Duc de MontpensierDefenceless for War. Capiz, July 13, 1868. The summer dulness of our little city was en- livened on the evening of the 9th inst, By the mail train from Madrid arrived, as State prisoners, the following Spanish officers, who, on arrival, were taken to Castilla de Catalina, our strongest fort, and confined until twilight of the 11th inst., when they were put on board of her Catholic Majesty’s war steamer Vulcan, bound for the Canary Islands:—Duke de la Torre, Captain General; Lieutenant General Duce, late Military Governor of Cuba; Major Gener- als Serrano, Beologa and Caballero de Rodas. Sepor Lopez Dominguez, with permission of the govern- ment, accompanied the Duke de la Torre, All kinds of rumors are flying around; but little or no confidence is Vege in any but one, namely:— It appears that the liberal party, so called, have contemplated a bloodless revolution by forcing Isa- bella to abdicate and installing the Duke de Mont- pensier as regent during the minority of the Prince of Asturias, As Gonzales Brabo, like Ben Disraeli, is bound to “stick,” he hag nip; this litte arrange- ment in the bud ands sent the supposed leaders to divers and sundry places out of eae ‘The day after their arrival the chiefs of the liberal party handsomely entertained them in the fort. It ‘was “a flow of soul” and had had as much reagon as the epg Ae Spanish “powwows,”” The Duke de Cag, ge has been ordered to quit the peninsula also. He left this morni so I have been credibly informed, San Lucar de meda, where he generally resides during the bathing sea- fon, on board the Villa de Madrid for England or tary He has invariably eschewed S} ih poli- tics, and now we think he is more of a victim than a culprit. ‘The people of Seville are indignant at his a ae curse Bravo, do not blame the Queen. ‘They are greatly attached to his family, all of whom ‘were born in the city. Rumors of plots are as numerous as in Feb- ruary. It is immaterial to us who is up or down on the peninsula, We are isolated and must show a loyal exterior. If we indulge in any barricading or disloyalty a few shells from a third rate War sloop Would soon cool our ardor, A letter from Madrid of the 10th of July states that, notwithstanding the measures taken the govern- ment, the situation of things was not less critical than before, and a rising was expected at any mo- ment. A considerable quantity of arms—so the writer aifirms—had been introduced into the country, and the place of concealment was not yet discovered by the police. Theré were flags, too, in form and size and color resembling the royal stand- ard, with the words, own with the Bourbons,’’ “Life to a free people’ and “Confederation” in- scribed on them. ‘The 7th or 9th was to have been the day for the rising, which was to have occurred during a bull fight, and was only prevented by the arrests, Years one of the many insurrections for which Barcelona is famous began in the same way, and the insurgents let loose the infuriated ant- nong the people. There have been several risings in Barcelona since, but I believe no bull fight. ENGLAND.

Davis, a grocer and tea dealer, at 67 Charlotte V chapel. Jon telegram of July 17 reports:—It is nn- that the loan for the Intercotonial Ratlway inion of Canada will be announced on y by Messrs.

There is a remarkable article in the number of the Edinburg Review just issued on the subject. The writer indicates that disestablishment will consist in the bishops ceasing to sit in the House of Lords; but that the Irish Church will remain a part of the United Church of England and Ireland, and that the Queen will remain ite head, as the Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic Church. The Imperial Review points out that “the line of argument by which the disestablishment and dis- endowment of the Church in Ireland was advocated by Mr, Bright at Limerick was rather the contin- gent advantages to be reaped by the Protestants of Ireland than those with which we are now fa- miltar, and with which Mr. Quiniivan and his friends probably expected to be ifled—those, we mean, that have reference to the ‘badge of conquest’ and ‘justice to Ireland.’ Mr. Bright would, of course, have ceased to be Mr. Bright had his eloquence failed to convey “undoubtedly ‘against his will—one or two seditious Inuendoes, It has become a favor- ite figure of speech with those who scarcely caro to disclaim ulterior objects, to exclude their present consideration by the simple expedient of postponing them to a more convenient season, Thus we were informed that the separation of Ireland from England is not to be discussed at present, just ag radical newspapers are never tired of assert- ing that the position of the Established Church in England is not menaced by Mr. Gladstone’s move- inent against its Irish branch. But whatever might have been the feelings with which Mr. Brighi’s imaginary Protestants might have been disposed to regard any delay in the repeal ot the Union, his actual hearers did not appear to approve even of such @ moderate concession to the ordinary English prejudice 5: cco the disruption of the empire.” In the House of Lords on the 17th of July Lord Redesdale moved an address for a copy of the coro- nation cath, He thought it important that the reli- aspect of the question of the disestablishment ol ish Church should be considered instead of the merely political, as hitherto. While conceding to the Duke of Argyll that gifts to the Church were not ne ly gifts for the service of God, he denied that the true test wag whether or not they Peancet peace and good will. The property of the rish Church, perhaps, did not now extend péace and fot will; but that would not justify us who believed In the truths uf Protestantism in secularizing the fund for maintaining and propagating those truths, After referring to the very recent orfgin of the agita- tion for disestablishment, to the manifest party motives which had actuated those who had raised it, and to the dethronement of King James IL., he pro- ceeded to criticise the theory of “Historicus” in the London Times of Thursday, particularly in respect to the charge of profanity brought by that writer against the advocates of a contrary view. The motion was agreed to without discussion. GERMANY. Austrinn PoliticsThe Queen of Englaud’s Visit—Southern Armament Arrangements.
