Its By steamship at this port we have the following Special correspondence from Bnrope,-embracing im- powiaut and very interesting details of our cable tele- grams to the 18th of July. FRANCE. Ministerial Tactics in the Legislamure—De- bates on the Army Cost and General Bud- @et—Napoleen’s Sojourn at Fontainebleau— Silent Hint on Constitutional Responsibility— Russian Advance Towards Unity—A City Five and Brave Voluntecrs-What Paris Eate—The Death Record—A Young Editor aud His Dificultics, Paris, July 14, 1868, All the ministers have had their turn at the Assem- blee since my last correspondence. We have been favored with solo king by Marshal Niel; with duet speaking from M. de Moustier and Jules Favre; with an eUegro from M. Magne on finances; with an andante from M. Rouher, who has taken to smiling atthe Chamber ever since he*and M. Magne disa- gree] because the latter told him he could defend his budget without performances from the forn.er. I must not omit that M. Daray gave a crescendo when he was threatened with an economical reduc- tion of 400,000f, asum considered too high for the Chuny school; but he came, and he spoke, and he con- quered, and economy must evidently be made on something less urgent. Marshal Niel’s solo was the grandest piece of oratory. The way he described the sweeping of the Chassepots, the clean work they made of war and the perfection of his weaporis gave all the members a foretaste of the delicious aspect of @ landscape got upto the Marshal’s tasie. Then he used threats after description, and said he would hand over his resignation—yes, that he would—if now, thatso many of his men are getting leave, he ‘was to be deprived of his horses. He must have all the horses he asks for, As it is, Prussia has more cannons than France. Prussia can clean a field better than he can at a given moment, and the bare statement brought pearly drops to the martial forehead of his Excei- Tency. America and other nations ever thought that French artillery was pretty fair; well, it is all a mis- take; in reality France is, according to the Minister, very backward. She ought to be supreme in every- thing, especially in flrearms, whereas she is but a secondary power in that respect—nearly a ‘third. Uniess she gets more mitrailienses and nitro-gly- cerine I suppose she will lower caste and rank after—Monaco. What will the Marshal Niels of Whe future have to sweep with through peace? for the Minister says if we had war we could manage. It is because we are to have peace for so long that we cannot manage to do ‘with less than Prussia. Marshal Niel is to be con- tented; heisto keep all his horses and to have all the sums and he fs not to give in his resignation. AU the ministers are brothers; they have been recon- ciled; M. de Moustier is no longer at variance with M. Rouher, who no longer thinks of proposing that M. de Lavalette should fill M. de Moustier’s off 1t ts all sweet concord for a month at least—thanks to the intervention of the Emperor, who favors his Ministers with letters expressing Satisfaction after Amiportant speeches. A thing worth notice 1s that the Emperor by stopping at Fontaine. bieau all through the debates on the budget has departed from his accustomed _ habits on former occasions. Fontainebleau is the most distant of ail the imperial residences round the capital. It is as if he wiahed it to be understood that he intends the ministers to get into way of cou- etitutlonal government. Some of wiiticst mem- bers call this the Adicux of Foutamebieau to per- sonal government. It is not supposed the session will be over | the end of the first week in August, but the will ieave Poutainebieau next Sunday for St. tue in.ention being that the Eipress and the Prince Imperial should occupy that residence during the Emperor's stay at Plombicres. Before quite leaving diplomatic subjects Tmust not omit to state that Russia is making advances to France which are very favorably welcomed in high qua inet of Si. Pelersburg may or may not philanthropic avers ot be quite ready w fame, and an interview between the two Emperors and the King of Prussia is again being talked of, fearful fire broke out at about half-past nine o'clock on Savurday, the 1th inst., in one of the vaults under the central mar!

SPAIN. The New Attempt at Revolution—Who Were Repression—The Arrests=-Futare Prospects. MADRID, July 12, 1868, I have again to reiate the more than thrice told tale of an attempt at revolution in her Most Catholic Majesty’s domains, The effort to overthrow the government may yet prove successful; for the au- thorities have secured only very few of the leaders— or those whom they are pleased to term leaders— and there are yet enough left to direct the movement which was nearly ripe for ex- ecution when Gonzales Bravo delivered his suddencoup, The snake may be scotched, but it is certainly not killed, and we shall yet hear more of a widespread movement which has been so long maturing and which has struck its roots in every class of society. As yet the orficial and partisan journals have not thrown any light upon this new conspiracy beyond stating the fact that a number of arrests have been made and that the suspected parties, high in rank, had been sent out of the country, without the least form of tri: under the extraordinary powers granted the Council of State by the Cortes, ‘he papers are as mysterious aud opaque as possi- ble. You would scarcely gather from their columns precisely what was the cause of all the vigorous and startling ac‘s of Gonzales Bravo and his assistants in seizing and hurrying oif under guard the most prominent men in the army, and even in sending away the brother-in-law and sister of the Queen her- self, The government chooses to remain silent itself, and there is too much terrorism exercised over the press to permit it to utter a syilabie to clear iam in psition to throw some light upon the transactions of the past eght days, and 1 hasten to give you, ina brief way, te result of my informa. tion and observation, 1m the first place, one of the most powerful conspiracies that has for many years existed has been partiaily discovered by the Ministr; Its object Was unlike hose Of previous secret. move- ments, as it logxed not only to the overturning of the Mintstry—tfe usual aim of revolutions in this unhappy laid—but it even embraced in its scope the overthrow of the present dynasty and the creation of @ new monarc over which the Duke de Mont- pensier was to preside, That was the scheme of one branch of the revolutionisis, but tke more liberal branch looked to the enure inetion Of the me archy and erection of a republic on its rums, However diverse and antagouistic the views of tie members of the revolutionary party are to the proper cuanncl ‘ol the country tn, after a su were {ully united in the single ing the present dynasty.

Lite at Saratoga is pretty much the same as atothor places of summer resort, though society is more cos- mopolitan and mixed, perhaps, than at any other Place, Long Branch not excepted. At the preseut time there is scarce’y a State of the Union unrepre- sented here. This is the place for inside ablutions, as Newport and Long Branch are for the outside, and judging from the quantity of water consumed the Washing must be very effectual. The first thing in the morning is to go to the syrings—to the Congress, the Columbian, the Empire, High Rock, Seltzer, Ex- celsior or some other of the many found in this val- ley. The Congress spring draws the greatest number of people before breakfast, around which may be seen a well dressed crowd of both sexes for an hour or two, keeping two or three boys actively employed, bringing up the water in glass tumblers, A great many rival each other in trying the capacity of their stomachs, aud the question generally asked 1s how much each one has been able to driak.

PANAMA, July 20, 1868, The news which reached us yesterday from Buena- ventura, that old General Mosquera was soon ex- pected to return to the Cauca, from his banishment to Peru, has created some excitement, and, if true, will no doubt lead to a great deal of troubie through- out the Union, Mosquera has a very strong party in the Cauca, and ifhe once gets a foothold there he can make @ powerful and, in all probability, a suc- cessful attempt to place himself at the head of the government again, He is, doubtless, backed up in is movement by Peru on account of his hatred to Ecuador, and it is said that he had long since entered into a treaty with Peru to seize Ecuador and divide it between that country and tails, which is no doubt true. ‘This movement of Mosquera may account tor the large iucux of military o.icers from tue Cauca to Panama of late, ail of whom have succeeded in get- Ung positions in the State forces here, thus gaming a certain control over them in case of trouble, Matters remain quiet in Panama, By the arrival of a vessei from Agua Dulce news has Leen ‘The Prov tive purty jiave iour cd men at Santiago de Veraguas und a large body were marching to aid them trom Ciuriqui.

The movements in favor of Prado have been gradually losing so much of their importance that at present ey are not regarded as formidable or threatening. ‘This is owing, in a great measure, to the attitude assumed by Prado himself, It seems that he was willing that his adhereats in Peru should lake ali the steps necessary towards replacing him in supreime power, and when that object was accom- plished he would very graciously leave his Chilean retirement and accept the crown. ‘This plan of action was not considered promising by his sup- porters here, and they demanded that he should put himself at their head and commence active opera- tions, This he refused, and now hia party has be- come almost insignificant, There can be no doubt that a movement, led by the old Dictator, would have seriously endangered the prospects of the President eiect, Balta; but now the latter has, ap- parently, a very secure future. ‘The period is approaching for the tnauguration of the session of Congress, and it is believed that that body, if it be allowed to meet by the revolutionary elements now existing, will have anything but agreeable duties to perform. The elections for Sena- tors and Deputies have been conducted in a very loose manner tireughout the country.

Wade Hampton Serenaded In Charleston, S. C.—The Rebel Flag to be Preserved and Cherished. General Wade Hampton was complimented with a serenade at his hotel in Charleston on Saturday evening, the 25th instant. About two thousand persons were present, and the utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Wecopy from the report in the Courier of the 27th:— General Hampton, after repeated calls, made his ap- pearance, and was hailed with long and continued shouts of applause. ‘Dixie’ was again called for, and with the shouts that almost drowned the notes, was kept up for fully five minutes, during which time General Hampton was standing on the balcony, waiting to be heard. Silence at length being re- stored, he said:— FELLow Citizens—Your kindness is so great and overpowering on this occasion that it makes mea bankrupt in thanks.

MazatLan, July 2, 1868, The biockade of this port by the English man-of- war Chanticleer continues to be a fruitful source of discussion, an event plethoric with suggestions, There are some nations, like some individuais, who are eternally at war with themselves or with, the world. Mexico is a fair illustration of the former and England of the latter, Her Britan. nic Majesty's servants have scarcely been, reieased from prison and insults in the heart of Abys- sinia under the magificent but ill-fated King Theo~ dorus, when the world is aroused and a@’armed again, atthe “gross and outrageous insults’? offered her Britannic Majesty’s subjects in the land of the Aztecs» under the reign of the proud and noble Indian Prest- dent, Don Benito Juarez. John Bull, fred with a wrath worthy of the gods, proclaimed war ugainst. his dark skinned Majesty Theodorus, and the nations: of the earth first learned the successful resulta through tie remarkably able and graphie reports of the HERALD correspondent accompanying the Eng- lish army. The intelligence of the gross aad ontrageous insults bestowed upon Captain Bridge, of the Chanticleer, and his paymaster, Mr. Wallace, by the Custom House officials of thts port were first. given to the American and European public by the- HERALD correspondent, The correspondence inter- changed between General Corona, military com~ mander of Northwestern Mexico, and Captain. Bridge, relative to the affair, with many interesting incidents growing out of the blockade, were imme- diately telegraphed from this point via San Fran- cisco for your readers; but the subject is by no meang exhausted, If her Majesty’s government considered the con- duct of King Theodorus towards Consul Camerom. and his associates a legitimate basis for a declara- tion of war, and expended miilions of money in the~ equipment and organization of a great army toy avenge outraged honor, is it not a logical conclusion. that the conduct of the Mexican authorities towards. Captain Bridge may lead to a war between the Brit- ish lion and the Mexican eagle? At the time that the commander of the Chanticleer was, as he alleges, insulted in a most gross and outrageous manner he was dressed in full uniform, with all the insignia of his rank, as senior captain of her Majesty’s feet on the northwest coast of Mexico, and on shore for the purpose of trying to amicably arrange the dificulty under discussion. While in the act of going aboard his vessel he was arrested on the wharf as a smug- gler by three men and brought to the Custom House and there suffered the aforesaid outrages, &c., as alleged. This was the day after the arrest of Pay- master Wallace and the confiscation of $368 in gold $16 eagle dollars pieces, which he had upon his per- son and which the authorities of the Custom House claimed he was smuggling out of the country without paying the duty thereon and contrary to the laws of the republic regarding the exportation of the money. Mr. Haverman, an employé of the Custom House’ 4 in the capacity of El Vista (appraiser), being called in as interpretor, declares most positively that Paymas- ter Wallace denied repeatedly that he had any Money upon his person, and that finally he (Haverman) told the Paymaster that the money was in certain pockets, pomting to them, and asking said Paymaster to deliver tt without fur- ther trouble, About this time Captain Bridge, who was standing outside, entered the Custom House, and, as Haverman and other Custom House eimployés assert, addressed Paymaster Wallace and ordered him to come out and not to be insulted by the “damned greasers’—a term of contempt ised to- wards Mexicans. The conduct of the captain on the occasion is reported to have been very overbearing and insulti All this is denied by the commander of the Chanticleer, who, on the contrary, asserts that. some of the Custom House employés used towards him the most abominable slang phrase known to the Spanish language or to any other, and which, on ac- count of its extreme bestiality, we will not here repeat. This, in brief, ia the bbNomd history of the ir; and as it 18 an affair of national importance, pg age itupon record, that the public may have all the bearings of the case from an independent and unprejudiced standpoint, ‘the HERALD correspondeat has called upon both General Corona and Captain Bridge, Each of these gentiemen is confident in Dotet hii Pere approbation of his government and of having acted in conformity to the laws governing their positions. Should the gov- e:mments of England and Mexico sustain the ofictal conduct of theu representatives, as it is believed. they will, then a war is thevitabie. A spark tgnites @ magazine, and this little alfair of honor may arouse two nations to arms. England has always been proud and jealous of her navy, and in this case will undoubtedly seek and demand ample redress, At least this is the opinion now prevalent. People are anxiously awaiting the expected orders from the Davai department in London, which no doubt will be dirst canveyed'to the British Admirai stationed at. Victoria, Vancouver's island. England must not think because Mexico is without @ navy, because she is but recovering from the shock of the Maximilian struggle and still torn and dis- tracted by civil war and revolutions, that the British lion, although now master of the Mexican waters, as represented by the naval fleet, 1s at all feared by the Mexicans, should he shake his massive mane on land. Right the reverse. The nation that prevented the great Napoleon ILI. from establishing a monarchy on the Western Continent is but little alarmed of a rival nation shaking to its foundations at the threatened invasion of a handful of infuriated Fenians. On the very point of honor involved in this blockade Mexico would to-day rise in arms st England rather than submit to any hum#iation. The Mexicans have but litte jove and less respect for the English government, Cate dhe many causes. First, Ei rand aided and abet the French onslaught oa te can repudlicani: secondly, England insulted the Mexican republic by virtually declaring ner au out- law and withdrawing her ge representatives from the city of Mexico; lastly, and most acutely, the Mexican people are unanimous in the beilef that the English navy, stationed on this coast for the hast ii catury has red thee eoggiy ot, mulions Uy ey Mponallions of dairy smgeag ithe mont ai ‘Thomas has been nominated from the feels that England holds her in supreme contempt, M district of Obto for Cor derides her arn capital (Columbas) lo maegid sae ahee and Taugus at her prow and to little differences of ion “Mexico is. eager and willing to meet the flower of old Eng- Jand’s ~ on Mexican soil, Indeed there are nt and patriotic Mexicans who declare that ngland dure not throw down the glove, even at an advantage, on the soil of the repul but, hnowing Mexico to be helpless at sea, will take delight in bombarding defenceless towns and causing auguish in the hearts of timid and lovely woman. ‘We now come to a point very ilinstrative and su; gestive of the influence smuggling has had in se’ Uing the blockade diMculiy as at present under- stood. It will be remembered that the telegraghio reports forwarded the HERALD setiled the fact That General Corona and Captain Bridge could not come to an amicable adjustment of the dispate, and conae- uently the latter made preparations to bombard ‘the city, as nothing else was left to aveng? his wounded honor, Just at the last hqnr the Prussian and Evglieh Consuls, backed by others, addressed Captain Bridge, requesting him to cease from the threatened bombdrdment, owing to the defenceless state of the city, that mmocent peopie might be in~ jured and for Vartous other reasons, The Mexicans assert that this was very kiad on the part of the foreign merchants, and looks very humane on the face of it, but that going down deeper there 18 @ Strata of base selfishness to be discovered, worthy, they assert, of the breeders of revolutions (meaning the foreign merchants) and of the royal smugglers (ineaning the English navy) Tie base selfishness is Uie:—"“Captain bridge, if you bombard Mazatian we shat give you no more orders to any certain point on the coast where you will tind so ¢ many hundred thousand dollars te take on board; neither will we give orders to any Englisi man-of war hereafter (o smuggle for us, and tiereby your ad~ mirals and captains shail suffer seriously ta a financial point of view.” This, the Mexicaas aiirm, was more powerful than any plea that could be used by General Corona, and oad the desired elect, as they think, of saving Mazatian from @ full doe of shot and shell, Whether they judge rigitiy or not time must tell, As to the apparent aym- pathy of the consul merchants for the poor people Who might suifer from the bombardment, the jexicans look upon it in the ight of a piece of far- feiched Jesuitical strategy, and assert that said mer. chants had @ keen eye to the dry goods on their sheives and in their warehouses, lest the people, maddened with anget irom the damages and mur- ders of the blockade, should rise ina mob aud satiate: their mad passions upon those whom they mught be- lieve guiity, directly or indirectly, in the cause of From present appearances it is doubtful whether all parties Would not be benefited if Captain Bridge had even battered down the Custom House and the Cuartel (federal barracks) at the thine he threatened so to do. He would thus have had satisfaction for the: insults to which he was subjected, the damuce done would be trivial, and after a very healihy and refreshing scare things would have righted them- selves again.
