I conciusion he de! 3 the tnauciat adininistration of the present govern. meul, Mr. Roebuck’s Defence of His Anti-American Speech. TO THE Epitor OF THE LONDON TIMES: — I seidom remark upoa public criticism on my pub- lic conduct, but the present occasion is, in my opin- jon, so tmportant, and your misconception of the e and eifect of the speech I lately made at the ¥ St so remarkable, that Tam led to depart from my usual course of conduct aad to endeavor to set you right, and correct that misunderstanding, which Lam sure was wholly unintentional. You seem to assuime that 1 intended to disparage the United States, and that I did insult her Minister by the remarks 1 made. Now, to notice first the matter last mentioned, I have the best authority for ing that Mr, Jolson did not 80 conceive my ob- servations. He Knew full well that I had been active in preparing for ima warm welcome to sheitleld, that 1 had put upon record, in words as strong as our language aiforded, the pleasure that we felt upon ‘he occasion of his visit, and that in one of the ad- dvesses that Were to. be presented to him Thad most eurnestly spoken of the biessings that peace and good will between the two natious would confer on mankind. In fact, he has given me every assurance that he felt greatly pleased by all that had hap- pened since his arrival here, and to myself per- sonally he used expressions of Kindness and friend- ship which touched me very nearly, wluch I shail ever remember, but which | need not repeat. So much for the insult which you suppose I intended to tiing, and which you say I did fling, at the Ameri- can Minister, But that you should have fallen into this error is Not surprising When one considers the strange con- struction you put upon the words and arguments [ used. You seem to imagine that I deliberately spoke ill of the United States, and that I said things of her institutions that must necessartly have been offensive to the gentleman who represented her. Now, what was my purpose, my reasoning, and what were the words 1 used? Iwas speak. ing of the great change that had been lately made in our represeatation, and my pur- pose was to relieve the minds of my hearers of any alarms they might entertain in consequence of that change. To aid this my purpose I brought in America as an illustration. 1 said that there were two nations, and two only, who had rea.ly confided the government of their respective countries to the geeat body of thelr people. America had done $0 under conditions less favorable for success than Eng- land; and the argument was that, secing how suc- cessful America had been, we need have no fear tor England, 1 explained the differing conditions under which the two nations acted. America had one fa- vouradle condition that we had not—namely, unoc- cupied land to an almost fabulons extent; but | said Eugenie—British Royaity Stim as Tourists—The Orleans Family—Gambling. Paris, August 30, 1868, Lord Stanley and M. Drouyn de Lhuys having rented neighboring villas at Lucerne the rumor has circulated in diplomatic circles that the latter will probably fill the post of Ambassador of France in London instead of M. de la Tour d’Auvergne, who is at present absent. There is not the slightest founda- tion for the supposition. M. de la Tour d’ Auvergne, having availed himself of a leave of absence, is taking @ holiday in holiday time. Another widely circulated piece of news has at length been formal contradicted, It would not have been credited so long had the contradiclon appeared somewhat — eariler, It was that the Emperor had in a private letter to M. de Persigny complained of the Queen of England's conduct as a breach of etiquette on not returning the Empress’ visit, who came on purpose from Fontainebleau in order to see her at the Eng- lish Embassy. M. de Persigny has sent a telegram to the Opinione Nationale denying that he ever re- ceived such a commupicatio ‘This does not pre- vent people from feeling bitter about the Queen, ‘The Elysce is quite close tothe British Embassy, and the imperial household had been appointed to ac- company the Empress, in order tp attend her when the Queen would call, This is suficient proof that Eugénie fully expected her. On her return from the Embassy she did not disrobe, and the court remain- ed in expectation until five If the Queen really was suffering from neuralgia it would have been as queenly as wise to send Lord Stanley to the Empress ‘ind lay the matter forth with some excuse which woukl have pacilied some very precise parties on points of etiquette, The only observation the Queen made when solicited to drive a few doors down the faubourg St, Honore, was that she was travelling as Duchess of Kent quite incognito, and that under such circumstances visits from sovereigns were never re- turned. From the little known of the Empress of the French in relation to foreign rulers, it has been surmised that ha@ she been ‘half dead,” as the female saying 1s, she would have dragged herself to @ neighboring palace rather than appear #0 pre- served in decorum as to have turned sourly cere- monious. . It is some Consolation to hope that, now the Queen of England 18 so much better physically, her ideas will be brighter, 1 have noticed that whenever a family of British—unimpeachable British—extraction come to the Continent for the first time they are almost forbidding by favor of unbending British tra- dition; but on their return through Paris, after hav- ing been builied and annoyed considerably by all the varied Gavroches of the South, t actually appear amenable. It would be treasonable to suppose the Queen of peel is going to be bullied in Switzer- land—most disrespectful to the Swiss; but the prin- cesses Will go about a good deal and in privacy; they ‘will be stared, and perhaps similed at (O extreme it udence !); they might meet unconscious Parisin fadies, who, if the young princesses adopt blue, green and lilac, will certainly laugh at them. ttle foreign ruos will wear some of the British fog off as- uredly, and the Queen will find it worti one eifort ay down the immortal principles of royalty be- yond the pale of private lle, The jollity of the princes of the royal family over Offenbach is not what any expect Her to attain, Their admiration of the Grand Duchess would be disapproved in her oy the gentlemen of the woolsack, but there is a middle course.

GERMANY. Navigation of the Rhine=Negotiations with Holland. a Messenger of Paris, Sept. 8.) From Galignant’ teat there was an element in her poiitics highly mis- chievous, and from which we were tree—tlis Was an emuzration from Europe of persons of the worst and most dang character. Is not this assertion true, and is ti not daily made in the United States in speeches in Congress, in the daily papers, and in every sort of publication?—made in words far stronger mine; made, too, by the most thoughtful and patridtic Americans? That the course of American poltcy has been disturbed by this mischievous emigration no one who knows America will, | thin deny; that I may have overrated its mischievous influence may be true; 1 do not think so, and 1 know that my opinion is shared by many eminent Americans. tn describing abad thing you do not use words of euiogy; the epithets | chose may not have been happy, but as 18 the thing described they are true. Whiie speaking of this torrent of bad emigration I did not include orailude to that vast body of virtuous and worthy persous wio go to America tn order to find a new and more favorable tield for their industry and uatry aifords. That’ ines. conferred on the United States by such an emigration [well know, The same plass of mien have created our flourishing colonies the world, and I hope Lam not so foolish or wudiced as to confound things so essentially di similar as the two classes of emigrants that 1 speak Xists Lam sure; that it tea I believ tinguished sons.

And where was the harm of oe @ fact which is notorious, when the mentioning of It might be a beneficial warning to my own countrymen, and perhaps might also be useful in its influence upon the minds of Americans? I will only add @ passing remark upon the hard words you use when speaking of myself. I rather fancy that my experience in political life is greater than that of the gentleman who wrote the article of which fam now speaking, and I should have hoped that {t might have suggested itself to him while in- dicting his diatribe that the veteran politician might be right and he himself in the wrong. Tam, sir, your obedient servant, +FIBLD, Sept. 7, 1565, J. A. ROEBUCK. nsider an offen that no ofence An English Reply. {From the London Times, Sept, 8.) We are glad to see that Mr. Roebuck is suMciently conscious of the extraordinary character of his re- marks at Shemield to think ft necessary to defend them; but it would have been more satisiactory tf he had frankly expressed regret for them. We are ac- customed to make allowance for the vehemence of his language, and to look through his exagwerations to his intentions, But rudeness to a guest is an of- fence which no intentions can excuse; and when the discourtesy Was offered in public to a public guest tt became our duty, on the part of the public, to dis- claim and rebuke it. In Mr. Roebuck’s letter this morning we cannot discern any valid justification of his speech, On the contrary, his first pica may well be considered to bring — the oriyi- nal offence into stronger light. Mr. Rev. erdy Johnson, he tells us, did not take the observations in question as an insult, On the con- trary, he has expressed himself in the most hand- some terms in acknowledgment of his reception at SheMeli, and of Mr. Roebuck’s personal exertions on his behalf, In other words, Mr. Reyerdy Johnson is too generous to take offence, and Mr. Roebuck in- terprets this generosity as a justification of his hav- ing taken advantage of it by anticipation. It ts bad enough to be rade to a friend; it is worst of all to presume on his good nature in venturing on your rudeness, and it ts only a degree worse to plead his good nature tn excuse after the offence. Roe- | buck does not seem to rememper the proverb about | returoing g evil, and so beaping: coals of fire on your enemy’s head; aud it is evident that the pro- cess produces no effect on Mr. Roebuck, The for- bearance of Mr. Jolinson ‘ves a cordial ac. knowledgment; but to quote it in disproof of any offence having been offered him is equally ungene- rous and illogical. * * * Alter all, Mr. Roebuck’s plea that Mr. Johnson was not sensible of any disrespect having been oifered to the United States is sufficiently re- futed by the fact that he thought it necessary thus to vindicate his country. i pposing there had been any trath in Mr. Roebuck’s observations, it would still have been the height of bad taste to make them in Mr, Johnson's presence on such an occasion, | Mr. Roebuck prides himself on speaking the truth; but there 1s, at least, a time for everything, an | there are occasions when the sort of character Mr. Roebuck emulates is painfully inopportune. It | is possible that Mr, Reverdy Johnson may be happ; | to listen in private to the oracular utterances whicl Mr. Roebuck thinks infallible; but in a public recep. lon of an American representative, when the object of all was to cultivate good will, it amounted to nothing less than an injury to both countries for a man in Mr. Roebuck's position to use language of such vehement disparagement. We only hope Mr. Reverdy Johnson will not fail to take notice that the with equal vehemence and with perf tnanimity, He may form some measure of the honor in which jations between Prussia e rupture of the nm at iuolibad Fels e navigation of We iuine ud Holland relative to we hold his country by the prompt recoil from Mt, Roebu words wligk Ue every where witnesses, year rather conflicts with the vehemence Li- tical agitation, the Legislative Assem| ana'ex. ecutive Council of the colony have aiready sig- nified their profound dissatisfaction with the tenor of tae speeches in which Mr. Adderley and the Duke of Buckingham are presumed to have met the charges of Mr. Howe, Mr. Annand and their col- leagues, It was comparatively easy here for the Secretary of State for the Colonies and his subordi- nates to persuade English politicians and the English people that the agitation in Nova Scotia was no more than the work of @ few interested intriguers. But they must have well known, for Mr, Bright did not fail to tell them beforehand, that these state- ments would be contradicted, And we now learn by oficial communications from British North America that the people of Nova Scotia, through their repre- through less forma) channels, have not only reiter- ated their demand for a repeal of the unioh with the Canadas, but have placed on record an emphatic contradiction, in several remarkable particulars, of the assertions boldiy advanced in the imperial Par- liament by the Duk@ of Buckingham and his Under Secretary. _* * * It is asserted that the complaint of the Nova Scotians is based upon a merely sentimental grievance. Is it merely a sentimental grievance that + the 1aws of the tree trading Nova Scotians are for the future to be made by a Parliament in which the colony has no more than ninetcen representatives and the majority is composed of Canadian protec- Uonisis? This, be it observed, is the state of the representation in the popular body in the Senate of the Dominion, Nova Scotia is represented precise! as ireland is represented by the representative p of Ireland in the House of Lords—-by her biticrest enemies. And the resuit of this equitable arrange- Ment has been alrea he pressure ot in- direct taxation on tHe Nova Scotians and to raise the tari by more than fifty percent. Aud what has been done is regarded at Halifax as only a rhest of what may be done by the Canadians. The powers conferred by tne act of union upon the Canadian majority m the Parliament of the Dominion ure unlimited, and the Noya' sco- sed their determination not to sub- this absolute tyranny, which, whether tt may be exercised or not, must be equally galling to the spirit of a tree people, The representatives of the colony, in their protest to the Lieutenant Governor, Nova Scotia has long maintained with the United Stat and though they add that they have no de- sire to enter the American Union, but rather an aversion to republican institutious, we cannot doubt that there 18 in this #llusion an iinportant meaning. We hope that the Colonial office may be induged to. reconsider the decision of the defunct House of Commons, otherwise we are afraid Mr. Bright's pro- phecy, that we liave not heard the last of the Nova Scotians yet, is likely to be unpleasantly realized, The Atlantic Telegraph Cable—Profits and Dividends, {From the London Post, Sept. 5.) ‘The general meeting of the Anglo-Amertcan Tele- graph Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern. Sir Richard A. Glass presided, and, after the Secre- tary had read the notice convening the meeting and the minutes of business transacted at the last gen- eral meeting, stated that the proportion of the ear ings from the cabie from the 1st of May to the 3ist of July had averaged £496 10s. per day due to this com- pany; the minimum tariff? during that period being £5, Since the Ist of September the tart for ten words not exceeding fifty letvers had, with the con- sent of the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company, been reduced to £3, and the result had been most satisfactory. The receipts for the first five days were 2611, £545, £526, £534 and £517, against the average of £496 lus. under the pre- vious charge. He believed that as the reduction became known to the public the receipts would be increased, It was not intended to further re- duce the present tariff As regarded the late accident to the cable, which occurred on the sd of August, it had occurred at the Same spot as that of last year. ‘They were at pres- ent unable to give any satisfactory account of the cause of the accident. Some stated that it was ad been , witha of such caused by an iceberg, but instructions hi given to their engineer to ascertain the cau: view, if possible, of preventing a recurre: casualties, Others attributed the accident to chor, but he (the chairman) could not understa how an anc! factory for the proprietors to Know that in conse- juence of the accident, the expense of repairing which would be trivial, 1t had been deemed prudent to keep a steamship at Heart’s Content or Newfound. land station, to be at all times tn readiness to repair sentatives in the Legislative Assembiy and also | 3 | point significantly to the friendly relations which | authorities have met you.

It was Indeed, a brainless undertaking to hope, on the strength of aversion to Prussia, to proclaim the for- mation of a Southern democratic union, A German people's party in the Duchies of Schies- wig-Hoistein has saneee upon a set of resolutions which correspond with the principles laid down by the well known democrat, Dr. Johann Jacoby. It demands, first, general ‘and direct participation of the whole people in the making of laws and in the gov- ernment of the State; secondly, the labor question to be solved in a just manner and in the interest of the workingman; thirdly, the right of self-govern- ment and self-administration of each province, dis- trict and community, and, lastly, a substitution of any damage without deiay and thus mitigat ¢ Loss the company would sustain by not transmitting messages.

The Bengalee writer gives him fresh occasion for cor tulation, Dissenters have missions in indla; are they prepared to accept the proposals offered by the Som Prokash and renounce all claim to protection from the State? Will they admit that government ought to hand over the Christian missionaries, to be dealt with as the natives think proper, because they are vastly in the minority? It may be said, with only too much truth, that Indian missions have had com- paratively little success; that the converts are few; and that the natives look upon our atiempts to teach them the truths of religion with aversion and even horror, Christianity in India ts a “badge of con- juest.”? It is the Church of the minority. It is not formally endowed, but fands raised by the license tax are spentin its maintenance, On Mr. Gladstone's principles how can this be justified? Thi kash is logical in ite demands, and if could be turned out by the advocacy of the case Which it presents the liberal party would uot leave it neglected very long. GERMANY.

It is thus that Messrs, Mazzini, Cattaneo and other professed republicans have invariably turned up at the head of the poll in some of the “Colleges” at Genoa, Milan or Naples, only because it suited the majorities of those electoral bodies to enter their protest azuinst the monarchteal form of government and to place themselves and thelr dis- tricts at the sume time out of the law and of the law- giving assembly. It was not ia compliance with dis- loyal views of this nature that Garibaldi was so often oifered and so often accepted a seat in the elective Chamber of the Sardinian and Italian kingdoms. Without ever arte ing any very strong attachment to the monarciy, Garibaldi was a suticiently upright aud orderly citi- zen to be wiiling to take his oath of allegiance to a mouarchical constitution; and his absence from the Chamber, which had become so much the rule as no longer to exeite any surprise, was accounted for eitier by the stat@ of his health or by the peculiar tles of a highly irritable nature, which watitted hin for Calta aud rational ate, in sober truth, neith the Geueral himself nor any of his mosi devoted 3 mirers ever thought that the hero of Marsala looked to advantage either in the tribune or on the ste 4 His stancuest friends trembled at the prospect of his opening his lips, especially Wheneve sre Was & chance of a shorthand writer taking down his words | to fhe letter, and laying them before the public with- oul anything iike euitorial maaipulation aad var- nish. ** * The hair-brained agitators who in Septem- ber, 1867, were capab.e of maturing Uiat il-iated expedition may weil, without any great stretch of gination, be deemed capable of tneditaung a re- ge uf its failure, whether or pot they actual: npecion With the association Revenge’? on its tag.

Indeed, we rather think that even Garibaldi’s day is passed, and that he is himself so well aware of it that his retirement from the Chamber may, as we have said from the begin- ning, only have been prompted by the sense of what, a3 a good citizen, he owes to lls couutry no less than to himself.
