The London correspondent of the Dublin Brening Mat, writing on the 28th of July on the subject of She approaching marriage of Adejina Patti, say In your pubitcation of the 25th, a quotation 1s made from sonie contemporary which 1s like y to Jeud your musical readers astray On & most impor- fant point connected with the young lady above named. It is there sated that “Mile, Patti made her las) apm hat she bad retired from the tase fi e of her marriage, which is to | take plac week.” ‘The Avening Mafl having been always remarkable for the genuineness of its intelligence, I tink it right to state that the guited Boligs! nds to appear upon the stage for ive years afte axe, under the name that she has alieady made famous, She has accepted en- 4 for lie ensuing three years In St. Petcre- is and Loudon, and she is to perform in St. Petersburg this autumn.

The Jealousy which is always latent between nations, and which can hardly be said to be !atent in the disposi- tion of Americans towards England, has been in this case skilfully instigated by politicians. First come ‘the Fenians themselves, whose single desire in their ‘action on American politics 1a to provoke a breach with England, While they try to the utmost the forbearance of this country, while they violate the Jaw of nations and of the Union by projects of armed invasion devised and executed on Ame! sol they lose no Spporeaniy of representing their Agen as American citizens condemned by British courts on the ground that they are still British subjects and as now undergoing punishment for acts done beyond the limits of the Britisk empire. The Trish vote is pow- erful and neither party in the repubhe can afford to disregard It, Political men in America have there- fore acted as if they believed that the Fenian repre- sentations gave an accurate view of what has passed in Ireland, A great deal of indignation has been ex- pressed at the sup; ‘d violation by the English gov- ernment of the rights of American citizens, and both parties have taken up the matter with an appear: ance of earnest, furthered, no doubt, by the necessi- ties of the coming election for President. In the democratic platform a paragraph is de- voted to the assertion of “equal rights and protection Tor naturalized and native born citizens at home and abroad * * * anf the maintenance of the rights of naturalized citizens against the absolute doctrine of immutable allegiance and the claims of foreign Powers to punish them for alleged crime committed beyond their jurisdiction.” At the same tume the re- publican majority tn Congreas pass a bili declaring that the rizht of expatriation 1s an essential princt- Pile of the governinént, and eiacting that “all natn. ralized citizens of the United States shall be eatitied to and shal! receive from this government the same protection of person and property that 1s accorded fo native born citizens in like situation and circum- stance,’? The large questions which enter into the contest between these two conflicting principles of immuta- bie allegiance aud the right of expatriation have been frequently discussed, ana we do not know that anything new can be said on the subject. The con- clusion to which most thinking men have come is that, whatever may be the moral tie which binds a. man to the land of his pirth and the institutions of his fathers, it is expedient that he should be allowed to divest himself of his allegiance when he has become actually and bona Jide an mhabitant of another country. The old doctrine of permanent and hereditary allegiance might have been easily reduced to the absurd in any age by very probable instances of its results, but it is utterly untenab e at the present time when the political divisior he world are broken up and whole populations are transferred across the ocean to new homes. The Irlsh and Germans in America, the Chinese in Amer- lca and Australia, must be held to have merged themselves into the new communities, and it would be @ foolish pedantry to matntatn any other test of nationality than ts involved in residence and citizen- ship. Indeed, this would in practice be admitted by any Power. If Great Britain and the United States were unfortunately to be involved in war no English officer would look upon an Irishman settled in the States as a traitor tf he took up arms for his new country. There ts nothing tn the doctrine propounded by the American poit- ticians that this country need deny or oppose, If Irishmen go to America they are at full liberty, so far as Engitsh opinion 1s concerned, to consider themselves Americans, to (ake out American pass- ports and to comport themselves as Americans should they think it to revisit these islands. If techmieally they are now held to be British subjects this is because the old doctrines concerning nation- | ality have not been overruled in a matter which in ordinary times is not of much practical importance, If it be thought right that tn consequence of the great displacements of population new principles shall be explicitly declared, the British Parliament au pple will in no Way object. Provided the for- eign citizenship is honest and not adopted to evade some duty orto gath some privilege, this country | Wil be disposed to recognize it readuy in the case of any expatriated native of the empire. What we deny, however, is that the law has been put in force to the practical injury of the American ssh, or that the American government tras any just grounds of complatnt against us in respect of the treatment of the captured conspirators. ‘The incon- venience we should sutfer by ¢onsidering the Ameri- can Irish as foreigners is the ineasuve of the injury Which they have received in the late trials, In the rst he fact that a man ts a foreigner makes no difference in the jegal guilt of levying war against the Queen within her own dominions. Hf he be found ‘| in arms in Ireland, or plotting an outbreak, or com- mitting any other treasonable act, he is equally guilty whether he be a British subject or a foreigner; for though a foreigner he owes a temporary alie- glance to the British Crown while he is on British soll, Substantially, therefore, the persons who have been convicted, r we hoid them to be [rish or | Americans, have been justly dealt with; for they un- doubtedly came of their free will to Ireland or Kug- Jand and there endeavored to raise an insurrection against the established government, * © * The democratic doliticians have protested against the alleged punishment of Fentans for acts done on American sot, On what instances they ground their charge we are not aware, The case of the Jacimel comes nearest Lo it; but even fo that case it might be technicaily held that the vessel was brooght by her crew within British jurisdiction, We suspect, liowever, that the Americans take e: ception to a proceeding wiich was perfectly justilla- ble on the part of the British government. ‘The Words and acts of several of the prisoners wille in America were put in evidence at their triais and sometimes constituted the principal testimony against them. But these acts were proved not as constituting the offence itself, bui as showing the intention with which the prisoners came to the United Kingdom and committed other overt acts, for which acis alone they were convicted. The distinction is obvious to every lawyer, and, in- deed, to every person of ordinary suse, It is per- feetly legitimate asa means of shiowlng the purpose with which @ man is buying arms and powder in Engiand or Ireland to prove that he was a member of & Fenian society in New York and was depated by bis comrades to do what he has been actually de- tected in doing. Although it may be beyond the limits of vatural justice for a nation to consider a hostile act, even when committed in a foreign coun- try, to be rightly punishable by itself should the offender voluntarily come under its jurisdiction, yet we have no objection to admit the American prin- ciple. It must, however, be borne in miud that it Wii not protect even born foreigners, if after con- spiring against the British goverument in their own country they come here to carry out their hostile designs, ‘The Aulautic and Great Western Railway. {From the London News, July 28.)

At the present time telegraphing, as a custom, is not reserved as an exceptional thing. For the |..ost Ipportant circumstances of life it is becowins, on the contrary, an every day custom—a requireuient of every moment; it becomes more and more a sub- stitute for letter writing, and, like the latter, hus its postage stamp and box, In 1863 the number of telegrams sent in France Was 1,755,000, In 1567 this Ngure rose to 3,214,000. What is less known is that the submarine cable is now an engine, pdeesiood, prschoal and multiplied in all the seas of Europe, and the following statistics show that tt is only for France that the submirine cable is a novelty. * Engiand is connected with Ireland by four subima- rine lines, ‘The two tirst are laid from Str: ory ao Scotch burg thirty kilometres from Wigtown, iu the bay ef Loch Ryan, and are carried, the one to Carrickfergus, tn Ireland, on the bay of that name, in the county of Antrim, and the other to Belfast, the Seat A TNCiaE town of Ulster. third line runs from the little island of Holyhead, in Wiles, to Dublin; the fourth from Haverfordwest, a town ii Pembrokeshire, on the West Cledjdy, im the heart of Milford Haven, to Wexford, chief town of the county of that name, on tho Slaney. In the Irish Sea there is the Isle of Man, ‘connected with the industrial and commercial town of Whitehaven. Inthe Atlantic ocean the — Anglo-Norm islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderuey are ¢ nected by cables. In the North Sea the siltie port of Cromer, near Norwich, is the starting point of two submarine cables—one to Schleswig and che other to Emden in Hanover in the Gulf of Dollart. Two cables connect Holland and England, one starting from Lowestoft and the other from Yoxiord, and both terminating at Harlem, Lastly, England communicates with Denmark by another line, and with Belgium by the cavie irom Ostend to Dover. Denmark has connected the islands of Iceland and Fiinen with the continent. Sweden communicates with Prussia by a cable starting froin Trelleborg, in the lens of Malmo and Christianstadt, formerly pro- vince of Scania, and terminating in the vicinity of Stralsund, in Pommerania. In the Mediterranean a cable connects the Balearic islands with Spain from Barcelona to the islands of Majorca, Minorca and lviza, The Piombino cable connects the island of Eiba with Italy. The Sicily cable has been extended to Malta, Tripoli, Benghazy and Alexandria. his is the con- necting point between the East and the West. Ilere opens the great highway of India and China. Lastly, two cables unite Europe with Asia across the horus and Vardanelles, What is France’s part in this great network? In the Atlantic Ocean we communicate with England by three cabies—from Boulogne to Folkestone, from Calais to Dover and from Dieppe to Newhaven—and from Brittany we have a liitle cable which connects Coutances with the island of Jersey. In the Medi- teranean we have not yet succeeded in communi- cating with Algeria, but the new cable which is to start from Nice to cross Corsica and terminate at La Caile seems likely to be laid very shortly, ‘This rapid enumeration bles us to understand the question of submarine cables, So many lines could not have bec esiablished unless experience and practice had coused the selence of the electri engineer to make great progress, England having no bounds to her ambition at- tempted to seive the problem of the transatlantic cable, itis already known that our neighbors have achieved a glorious success throngh that perseve- rance which is one of the distinctive features of their natural character, Every one has followed the phases of that great work. and all the incidents of the taying of the At- lantic cables are popularly known in Europe, At the same tine (iis success 18 generally regarded only as # Incky venture, whereas it is the fruit, on the contrary, of patient study and scientific labors and discoveries, That which has been once done can be done again and has been done several times already since England's success, Thanks to the progress made in manufacturing, which renders an injury capable of being repaired within a few hours; thanks to the mechanical engines by which the cable is paid out; thanks to the apparatus which fudicates the pres Spot where the cable has been injured at the bottom of the sea, this adven underiaking has changed its character, and has tered into the naar of industrial undertakings—a delicate one still, but nevertheless reasonable and certain, Even though an accident ts still to te feared in the dificult process ot paying out, the total loss of the cable is no longer possible, America has aiready submerged a large number of cables of great lengt', connecting al! her possessions in the Atlant.c and itic, Datstly, for some years past, two cables have been working in the Indian seas—name y, the Ceyion cable aud the cable from Fao to Kurrachee, In this great movement France las delayed taking he ae lace Which belongs to her. For many y pasta French transatiantic cable has been desired and asked for, Tn the vast network of subinarine telegrapny, of which we have just sketched a map, there fs one void which strikes thé view. The Old and New coutinents do not communicate itlgone another by a direct route. Despat ‘oly Europe for New York must cross the Sea, pass through England and cross the Iris! before reaching the Atlantic, Take a map and the direct line from Europe to America and your tinger will trace the future course of the Freneh cable from Brest to St. Pierre Miquelon and from St. Pigrre to New York, ¢ first section of the cable will cover a distance of 2,685 English nautical miles, the second a distance of only 90 miles. ‘he future cable will, there- fore, measure about eight million metres, At the present day English manufactures alone are in a position (o undertake such a task; but such re the resources of the constructors and the expe- rience of the engineers that if there be no accident the President of the Calted States will be able to send the first telegram to his Majesty the Emperor of the French on the Loth of August, 1369, ‘The importance of this betes e needa no demon- stration. It suffices to remember that the commerce between Europe and America is estimated at fifteen millions daily, and that close upon two thousand towns keep up regular correspondeuce with America, It is due to this imme: intercourse that the Eng- lish cables show receipts of thirty-two thousand franos a day, Will competition diminish these receipts? The contrary may be affirmed without hesitation, It is a principle weil known at the present time that the multiplication of means of communication multiplies the amount of trafic, What would have become of railways had they | been supported only by those who patronized | coaches—the only traveliers known at time of | thetr constrnetion?

Your ex- planations given in your despatches of the 23d ult, have been unable to mitigate the effect of the words of the Holy Father, We certainly appreciate the friendly feelings expressed for the person of the Emperor, and his Majesty is certainly not ingens! to that mark of de- ference. We would believe that, as your Exceliency afirms, the Pontitical ailocution, compared to many oiher documents of the same nature which have emauated from the Holy See, does give the idea of the existence of a certain tendency*to moderato its expressions in so far as the views held by the Church wiil permit. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the langnage which his Holiness naes in reference to the impe.ial government and the new institutions of Ausivia 18 so severe that we consider we have a right to complain thereof. I do not on the presevt occasion desire to enter into a controversy little in accordance with my (for the Holy See and with my Sul t cannot omit a few desive for conciliatic allocution, You wf! be pleased not to Keep his Emt- | of the tatives of the Anamite pense tee Cantina eee eaae’ net to eep hie Bal, to the nt they caused by the da: them.

Was committed, not a drop of blood was spilied; pri-‘ vate property was and will be respected. The receps tion we met with from the people ts a signal proof of erecarom of our influence and the power of our politics. They know as well the force of our arms as th benefits and the increasing prosperity which the ine habitants of the three French provinces enjoy. Tie Maudarins saw this od instrument of despot icm break in their very hands. They saw that th sympathy and contidence of the people had departes from them and centred in us, and that it waa necessary to bend before the charm exerted over in+ teiligent and long oppressed races by civilization, supported by religio., justice and force—that is, by, the respect of all rig.ts, the protection of ali in- teresis a gyimpatiy for all unfortunates. The: relinquished w thout pe ae without murmur, the reins of an administration incapable of mee the new necessities, the new aspirations which ot resence in this fine country has caused daily to, Increase for all those who understand the advan, tages attached to our sway, giving them the gloriot Utlc of French, which they will be proud of ‘ings! Their wishes have been heard. From this day there! is but one authority, one administration in Lowe! Cochin China, of Which the six provinces are ant ever will be French, United in a single co-fraternity, ruled by the sand he laws, administered by the same rules, subject charges 01 proportionate to their resources, thei honest and laborious mopiiadons will see the datl development of their welfare, their prosperity; the fruits of labor and intelligence guaranteed to éver one, the benefits of education within the reach of al and then they will comprehend that we came amon; them to exempt them from servitude, to give thei observations on the subject, which | request your xcellency to bring before the notice of the Court of one = In the first place we cannot recognize the neces- sity of the Holy Father foliowing and of employing towards Austria the same pro- cedure as towards tiose other countries of whose conduct the Pontifteal government has had to complain. Can, indeed, @ comparison be made? Have we Iatid hands on the territory, on the possessions of the Church? Have we oppres the Catholic religion or its ministers’ Apart, however, from such tustances as beside the case, we may, | believe, boldly afirm that there is no country in Europe where the Catholic religion has 40 privileged a position as in Austria even now, despite the laws of the 26th of May. Nevertheless this fact ahouid have been taken into account, and the imperial government should not have been re- probated in the aamne manner as (hose governments | who are in opposition to the Church and the Catholic religion, Wecan easily understand that the Holy Father has thonght it indispensable tor him | to protest against the iaws which modify the situation created by the Concordat of "1855. Indeed, we fully awaited some such steps, aud we should have accepted it in silence, even had its form been tess conciliatory than we could have hoped; but we cannot atlow the con- | demnation of the ‘lamental laws on which the a new institutions of ie empire repose to pass with. out objection, Those jaws are not in question. In thus attacking them the fe MM deeply wounds the feelings of the nation aud imparts to the real difference a bearing much to be regretted even in the interests of the Church. Instead of simply disagreeing with such or such an application of the rincipies Which serve as the foundations of the ac- al government of Austria and which are the results of a happy egreement between the people and the empire, it ts the principles themselves which have been reproved. The Holy See thus extends its repre, | sentatives to those objects which we in mo way can Tegard as under ifs authority, It envenoms @ question already too calculated ple’s minds by placing it on a footing | wh-re political are mixed up with religions passions. | By the condemnation of thoae laws whieh Iunit the j iple of the Hberty of the Church, while at the e time they offer a compensation for the privi- t makes (he assumption of a conciliatory government more diftlenit, It may not be out of place to remark that those laws ¢x- ressiy guarantee to the Church the possession of er property in Austria, That stipulation proves } that the laws In question are not of a character une | | friendly to the Church, since she 1s thereby main- | tamed in those rights of which fn so many other | ecountrt she has been deprived, tt ia not | me to judge how far this last consideration ve fo soften the feelings of the Court | tome on tits point. That which, in iny eves, does oder a& shadow of doubt is that the people of Austria Will find aconsolation in remembering that more than on ouniry obey 1a) to ours, wh with ihe Chur | all there exists rope a grand and powerful | empire Whose tendencies towards liberty and pro- | gress have always been atticd with a most decided at- Tachment to the Catholic faiya, and which, governed | by laws equaily abominal t has been fortunate | enough, ayen lip to the present time, to meet with | j the indulgent aympatines of the, Holy See. | | My despatch of the 17th of Jun® last fore- saw the unfortunate — resulta which — would | be prody by the atlocution if it,were not coughed | ! in mors moderaty term L regret extremely that the Court of Rome did not | take my prognestications into account, They have since been entirely realized. 1 do not believe that | the Catholic population of the empire show a gr | goal to-day for the interests of reugion than in times | | past.

It did not appear desirable, from any int of view, to arouse afresh diderences and to Increase the dim. culties which still exist, But, above it was not to the Interest of the Court of Rome and it appears to us inopportune to excite the national suscepti. bility of the Hungarians, The mere a of ign pressure will produce in that mn a resuit altogether at varinnce with the wishes of the Holy See, and we shall behold a storm r against the | darins, in submitting, her, and we shall strive to intro- spirit Of conciliation and or eee will 1 hop : icla will, 10) pi eipaple a our ‘Will be the faithful interpreter o! these sentiments, and in 0 doing you will also be acting in conformity with the views of the Emperor, our august master, BEUST.

Annamite Revolt Agalust the French—Assault on a Trading Post—Twenty-five Imperial Soldiers Captured and Murdered. By cable telegram, dated in London on the 8th inst., we placed before the readers of the HERALD | yesterday morning news which had been received | in Shanghae, China, from Southeastern Asia, or | Farther India, reporting that in Cochin China the | Anamite rebels had attacked a French trading post | situated on the border of China proper, engaged the |. Imperial garrison detached for its protection and | after a desperate resistance on their part over- | powered the men, who were made prisoners and | subsequently massacred in cold blood, to the number | of twenty-five, This intelligence will produce a very intense ex- | citement in France, which may result in inducing | Napoleon to reinforce his army and navy in the far | East, renew the war attitude in that direction, and induce an imperial*movement which may have the effect of bringing France towards a policy still more contemporaneous with that of the United States in | and on the vast border of China proper. | Our readers are aware that previous to the French revolution King Louis the Sixteenth and his Cabinet exhausted much care and anxiety in plans for the | establishment of French power—ascendancy in fact— | in the empire of Anam, comprising Cochin China, | Tonquin and Cambodia, having in the north the Chi- | nese provinces of Quang-sl and Yun-nan—a vast | territory, the population of which even then was reported as counting millions, French perseverance and energy grouped a very considerable royal colony in thé Eastern empire ; cities were taken and fortified after the European fashion and the native government was largely in- fluenced by a Franco-European diplomacy. great revolution tn France put a stop to this Eastern advance, the reforms became obsolete in Anam, and the “idea” may be said to have almost faded from the mind of the people of France, One tenacious intellect—that of the present Em- peror Napoleon—retained it, however, and aimost immediately after the consolidation of the em- pire he commenced to turn his eyes eastward, certain precedents | advancing to a position winch induced the Cochin- | China war—a struggle waged with very doubt- | ful success for some few years previous to 1862, at which time it was claimed by his Majesty that his troops had established a firm foothold in the fertile and productive territory of the King of Anam and that many of his provinces had been | ceded by that treaty to the French nation. ‘The members of the French Legislature who op- pose Napoleon have always expressed themselves doubtful of the permanency of this foreign acquisi- tion, and within the past year have, during debate in Paris, classed the Cochiu China expedition with that to Mexico, as being equally ill-advised, costly and vaingiorions, For the more compiete information of our readers and with the view of a more thorough elucidation of the position both of the imperialists and opposi- tion, we publish underneath the French ORDER OF THE DAY, issued in the month of June, 1867, announcing the annexation of three provinces of Cochin China fo France:— To the OFFICERS, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS, Sot- DIBRS, MARINES AND ANAMIT# MILITIAMBN OF THE Corrs or ExPEpITION:— You have now accomplished in eight days, at the cost of excessive fatigues and with an abnegation worthy of the greatest praise, the conquest of three beautiful provinces. ‘The at citadels of ae of Choudoc and of Hatlen, surprised by the rapidity of your movements and the aud your oy a, = 4 in opening ites rou vi jundred 3annon and tree thousand guns, besides a considerable quantity of ammunition, The other strategic points of Lowe?
