[tis so much the more easy to give these explanations because we have nothing to conceal, our policy of thatkind Which gains by being piaced in full light. The true and well understood {uterests of France and Russia are not at all contrary te one to the other, wd there is not a singio point on the terres- trial globe where those interesis may not be in cord or where those two Powers may uot be ina position to afford each other rectprocal co-operation. re entente between France and Russia would be the best guaraniee of European equilibriam and general tranquillity. But to order that that entente should be established in a solid and durable manner two conditions are necessary. The first ia, that France should remove from her sight the phantom of @ pretended resurrection of Poland. For that itis necessary that at Paris people should try at length to understand that what is called Poland ta not a eople, but a feudal caste which has detached itself rom the people, aud that for nearly half a century a bandful of feudal anarchists has abused the Fre " nation and all the successive governments at the ‘Tuileries tn making them believe that the re-estab- iisument of Poland was possible and that France was interested by her traditions and her principies in i's re-establishment. Doubtiess, if such an assertion were tr if France, in order to roject the phantom of the resurrection of Poland, had to sacrifice even the least of her interests, and if it were neceasary to place herself in contradiction to apy national exigencies, we should not think for & moment of inodifying her present manner of seeing or her present attitude; there would no longer be any reason to speak to her of an enfente with Russia and we should have nothing to do but to place our- selves on the defensive. But happily it is not so and the contrary is the fact.

On the one hand every government in Europe multiplies pacific assurances in the columns of the most influential organs each can command. On the ether hand, the public, whose most ardent Wish is for the mal tenance of peace as well as its most pressing requirements, persists in its incurable distrust, ina dread of the future and in the belief that the gravest complications are close at hand. It is impossible to deny the existence of this curious bias of the public mind and equally impossible not to note its bad effects on the financial market and its far more serious consequences as regards trade and manufactures which suffer from a paralysis in all their branches, Those who try to account for this state of things by dally occurrences must find them- selyes greatly at a loss, as during the past week not a single tnancial or political fact has transpired cal- culated to affect the value of public securities. All the rumors in circulation last Monday were con- tradicted on the morrow and some of them, more- over, bore on the face of them such an impress of absurdity that nothiug but the intense credulity of Bourse people could secure for them a moment's existence, ‘There are only two things which seriously disturb transactions at the Paris Bourse—first and foremost the uncertatity as to what to-morrow may bring Jorth, and the Italian question, a “black point,” which has been unduly maguified within the last few days. Jf our information be correct, und the firm- ness of Italian stock at the Bourse 1s conclusive on the point, this Italian Sueaon consisted merely in an exchange, not of despatches, bnt of conversa- tions on the French oocupeaan of the Papal States between M. Nigra and M. de Moustier. We have reason to believe that that exchange of views, now more than @ week old, led to nothing calculated to disturb the relations between France and Italy. The apprehensions on that ground will, therefore, be speedily set at rest. But after all these contradic- tions will confidence revive? That hope it would, in tre present state of the public mind, be chimerical to entertain, so long as the pacific assurances given by governments and their organs shall not be fol- owed by decisive and unmistakable measures, Catil then the nightmare of uncertainty will continue to paral capal and hinder any lasting improve- ment in the price of public securities, ENGLAND. The Frauchise Registrations—Voting Qualif- cations. The London News, of the 15th of September, re- riing the opening of the Franchise Registration Jourt in the city, says:—The Registration Courts commenced their sittings yesterday. The question whether it would be neces for the lodgers to at- tend in person in order to substantiate their claims ‘was brought before the revising barristers early in the day. in the city of London the court was satis- fled with the certificate of the claimant, if admitted on both sides, and only required the lodger’s pres- ence on an independent objector appearin, Westminster and in Lambeth it was held that lodger did not appear in support of his claim he jnust be represented by some one who personally knew him. Non-compliance with this rule caused a number of claims, especially in Westminster, to be disaliowed, The revising barrister for Westminster has de- cided that tadies have no right to have their names placed upon the Parliamentary register, aside the janguage of a former act of Part which declared that in all future statutes the term “man” should be construed as referring to both aeXes Unless the contrary Was Stated, the varrtotor dealt rather with the intention of the legislature | quring tts session, we can with respect to the enfranchisement of women. He recalled the fact that when Mr. Mill proposed to sub- stitute the word “poisvQ” Tor ‘man’ in the enfran- chising Clauses of the Reform act, the House of Com- ons rejected the proposition by a large majority. Clearly, therefore, Parliament did not intend women to have votes. e name of one Hannah Bainbrid had _ been inserted in the overseer’s list of voters for the parish of St. Ann's, and it was ordered to be ex- punged. A case for the deci-ion of a superior court was granted. In Lambeth the claim of a lady was disposed of by the revising barrister merely saying that he should take no notice of it. Louis Lefevre claimed to be on the list as a lodger, but on being qestioned by the revising barrister as to whether he was an Englishman, he said he was not born in England, but he had been in this coun- try sixteen years, and had taken the oath of aliegi- ance to her Majesty once on joining the volunteers, and again when he was sworn in as special con- siable. Mr. Nokes said it must be proved that the voter was incapacitated, and the witness when asked if he were an alien might refuse to answer. The clalm was disallowed, In Lambeth Mr. W. Hancock claimed in respect of & bedroom gud sitting room, at 7 Vicarage gardens. = [ome aa 6d. per week, and paid separately for is board. Mr. Bacon said claimant lived with his landlord. This was a case of Joint occupancy. He did not occupy solely and separately the drawing room. Mr. Mason contended that Mr. Hancock was a sole occupier of his bedroom, but he had the privilege of 1 over the house the same as a cat or a dog. Anis was & most important case, and the decision of the barrister would guide hundreds of stmilar clalins, He felt strongly in cases in which there was 4 rate occupancy of, one room, and access with the permission of the landlord to other parts of the house, that the legislature intended they should have the vote. Mr. Bacon said he must decide against the claim. Mr. Hancock occupied one room, and another room jointly with his landlord. It was part of his right, under the terms of his tenancy, that he should dine with his jandlord in another room. In this case 128, 6d. per week was.paid for rent and 17s. for board, and certainly’the 17 was not paid when claimant ‘Was out of town; but he (Mr. Bacon) could not sepa- rate them. He wonld consider the point and give his decision on Wednesday.

Take, for example, the programme of the London committee of the associa- ton. It proposes for debate these six points:—The reduction of the hours of labor, the influence of ma- chinery in the hands of capitalists, property in land, the education of the laboring classes, the establish ment of credit inatitutions to promote’ and facilitate the social emancipation of the working class and finally the best means of establishing co-operative production. In this programme the queation of war or peace did not formally enter, but it took a promi- nent place both in the discussions and the final rego- lution of the Congress, This final resolution takes the following shape:— The International Workmen's Congreas recommends workingmen to abstain from all work in the event of war breaking out in their respective countries, The Congress ‘ons apon the solidarity of work- ingmen of all countries for this strike of the people against wi The same sentiments were embodied even more strikingly in an address to the Congress from the German auxiliaries, which especially de- nounces @ war between France and Germany as ‘‘a civil war for the profit of Russia,” It adds:—“The International Association calls upon workingmen to pronounce against war, to oppose it by all the means in their power, to refuse to coun- tenance assassination, and to organize o ropi da for the education of the poor.’ that labor, in fact, has no country the fundamental principle of the association; that the produce of labor ought to be the property of the Eoaiee. that the brotherhood of labor should be he basis of society, and that the workingmen of all countries should throw aside their party jealousies and national antipsthies and make common cause with each other in their struggle with capital—these are the dominant ideas which it was the purpose of the Congress to inculcate. in the practical result the Congress at Brussels may be called a success, though the conditions under which the discussion was carried on precinded the possibility of ver vigorous or lively debating. It is very easy to ridl- cule the Utopian tone of the resolutions « ed at, but It would not be at all easy to prove that the practice of European statesmen ia wiser than the preaching of European artisans.

While there ig reason to congratulate the country upon the successful repression of those revolutions which by their proportion at one time threatened the present administration, if not the very existence of the republic, there is also reason to regret the ap- parent leniency which has been extended to well known malefactors and the decided disposition of the courts and the press to mistake justice for cru- elty. The case of Domingo Benitez is one in point, ‘This individual some months since attempted the robbery of one of the principal jewelry establish- ments in Mexico and failed. In his efforts to escape from his pursuers he killed three persons, one of whom was 4 Frenchman and the remaining two were Mexican policemen, The circumstances of the kill- ing were well attested by sufficient witnesses, and his trial was had some months since, but no decision given by the courts, Pending the deci-ion his law- yers have been making efforts to obtain a new trial, being themselves convinced that it would be impos- sible for the court to tind any other verdict than Liat of “guilty.” The accused is a poor man, and it is dificult perhaps just how to account for their ap- parent disinterestedness. Two days since the commu. nity Were startled not only by the favorable answer of the court for an appeal, but the entire order-loving portion were astounded to see the Monitor in its editorial columns congratulate his counsel on their “iriumph,”? Some of the press of this capital have most seathingly criticised the court and also the Monitor for its glorification over this case of de- feated justice, Whether upon the new trial evidence can be distorted or rebutted, or witnesses ‘‘put out of the way,” so as to result in Mr. Benitez’ acquittal remains to be seen. A similar affair has just trans- red in the courts of Toluca, in which neighbor- Rood robberies and kidnappings have been 80 frequent. Antonio Pliego and Cenabio Arredondo, gentlemen of the road, had been for some time, to- ther with their assistants, kidnapping and tortur- fe people until large ransoms were forced from others, till due end was put to their career by capture, followed by their trial and sentence to death. There is, however, very little probability of the sentence being carried into effect, as the application for a new trial has been granted, e alarm given to the government by the Union Liveral, of Guadalajara, can hardly be unheeded, as it declares that from 800 to 1,000 robbers are now in- festing that State, and that its prosperity and peace demand immediate and earnest efforts to sup- press them. This can only be accomplished by em- loying the army, now unoccupied with revolutions, in capt and shooting their leaders, and offering oper indutements to the men to en; in honora- bie ana peaceful pursuits. ‘They are, undoubtedly, the same individuals who have formed the troops ot the late rebels, and whose hunger makes them ready dupes of robber chiefs. A circular ietter has been issued by the government to all oflicers, civil or mill- tary, to arrest and bring to trial at the earliest possi- ble moment Rivera, Negrete and Mendez, Up to the hour of writing neither has been arrested. ‘A most important event for Mexico is the termina- tion of the so-called ministerial crisis, which may be said to have taken place yesterday afternoon. As has been known, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been temporarily filled by Mr. Aspiroa, who had for some time occupled the first subordinate position under Mr. Lerdo de Tejada, the Supreme Court hav- ing by a majority vote refused the sanction to Mr, Teada which the constitution of 1857 requires. President Juarez having remained so long inactive as regards the filling of this portfolio, and the new session of Congress being so near at hand it has been supposed that an effort would be made through that to secure the wished for end. ‘The Supreme Court have, however, aa it appears, relented; for the President having yesterday re- gueated ihe Supreme Court to extend their sanction, Ules ¢he country eonid enjoy benefits of Mr. Tejada’s large experience in the Department of For- eign Affairs, J) Riva Palacios and Castillo Ve- lasco changed their former vote to the affirmative, making seven tn the affirmative and four in the nega- tive. hese were Judges Leon Guzman, Simon Guz- man, Cardoso and Aitamirano, The opposition party, Which has been so eloquent over the ministe- rial crisis, Will find it necessary to hunt up a new bone over which to quarrel. The portfolio of Inte- rior, or Gobernacion, ts as yet unfilled, but there is reason to believe that the President will within a few hours invite to it the man of his choice, who will not be from the list which the newspapers and inter- ested parties have made up for him to select from, As the election of Mr, Ygnacio Mariscal, @ member of Congress, has been approved at a late preliminary meeting of that body, and as it is a question whether the constitution does not prohibit a Congressman from being at the same time in the Cabinet, without permission having first been ob- tained from Congress, it is possible that in order to avotd all dispute Mr. Mariscal may retire from the Ministry of Justice until such time as the ratification of Congress can be obtained, which may be very earty.. them, and robb! may mention that ail of the Cabinet omicera, as is the custom here, have placed their resignations in the hand of the President, in order that he should be perfectly free to organize an entirely new Cabinet if he so desired. Only that of Vallarta has been ac. cepted, President Juarez baying expressed himself unwilling to be deprived of the services of the re- maluder, It should not be denied that there is evinced a disposition on the part of many who have heretofore distinguished themselves hen | the op- position to view the present government and adinin- istration as being more stabie than six months ago could be believed would be the case; and if an ear- nest, combined effort be made to rid the country of robbers, &c., ifa competent system of revenue and its honest collection be organized and an honorabie disposition be shown to pay the interest, at least, on the public debt, Mexico may rise in the scale of na- tionalities, The opposition press of the capital continues ite discussion of the Romero-Seward treaties, more especially they@lobo and Monitor. The Siglo XL. by its republication of the articles, Virtually endorses the feeitngs which are to be excited to prevent the confirmation of the treaties, and cause a tedious and rascally detay in the settlement of American claims, ‘The government and friends of Mr. Romero fully ap- preciate the unfortunate and questionable position in which Mexico will place herself should Congress fail to endorse the acts of her late Min! Plenipo- | tentiary., The government organ, the Diario Oncial, in its issues of September 6 and 8, has therefore made two replies to the articles in the opposition press which | forward you. Notwithstanding the support which the government is giving to the treaties, itis to be feared that another era of folly may be insugurated by Congress, and that therein these treaties may fall to the ground in consequence of the repudiation by the Mexican Congress. The efforts of the most enlightened Mexicans will be ex- pended to secure their favorable reception. ‘The investigation in regard to the assassination of General Pa‘ont has not been satisfactorily concluded, although the facts elicited rather point to General } Cauto as the party Who gave the order to the subor- dinates, who carried it into effect, Letters have been recently received here from Durango stating that Genera) Donaio Guerra had reached that city and | had taken command of the forces from which | General Cauto was relieved by the order of the Secre- tary of War.

Mutilation of General Patoni—Why Vallarta Left the Cabinet, MEXICO, Sept. 19, 1868, Nothing has as yet been elicited in regard to the assassination of General Patont except the following reply made to interrogations put to the oiticer who arrested him and who coiumanded the fic of sol- diers who performed the act of shooting—that they were acting in obedience to superior orders. !t is stated in ove of the Zacatecas papers that it was the intention of the movers in this nefarious business to assassinate General Gonzales Ortega on the same day, but by some accident or departure of the General from his expected route the programme was not carried out, The face and body ofGeneral Patoni are said to have been so terribly disfigured by the shoot- ing that te was identified only by the initials on his linen. The feeling which prevails in this community has not abated, and the result of the investigation of the conduct of General Cauto is awaited with anxiety, It will be remembered that Governor Gomez Cuer- vo, of Jalisco, has been under trial by Congress and awaiting sentence of the Supreme Court for execut- ing summarily a few robbers and kidnappers tn his State, The final action of the Supreme Court has lately become known. While that body seemed in- clined to censure Governor Cueryo, yet it decided that his case could not fall under their jurisdiction, and so far absolved him as to reinstate him tn the Governorship of his State. Mr. Vallarta, the Minister of “Gobernacion,” happened to be from the State of Jalisco and not to be on the best of terms with Gov- ernor Cuervo, politically and socially, and has nata- rally looked for his punishment, He having been in effect absolved by the Supreme Court, with ex-Minis- ter Lerdo at its head, Mr. Vallarta did not possibly feel quite at home—or at least felt that he was not sustained in his opposition to Cuervo—and has, therefore, resigned his seat in the Cabinet, as he says in his letter to the President, from certain ‘motives of delicacy.” Its acceptance is couched in the brief- est sentences. No person has yet been mentioned as Vallarta’s probable successor. The trial of the so-called conspirators who were accused of attempting to take the life of President Juarez some months sinee has terminated in acquit- tal, as the evidence proved insufficient, Two of the number, Tejador and Dufoo, have, however, been ex- peiled from the country as dangerous persons. Colonel Meyer, formerly of the United States vol- unteer army, and lately colonel of Mexican army, who has been in prison many months, has finally been turned out of prison and fails to learn what were the charges against him. As he finds himself without a command, his regiment having been given to another officer, he has tendered his resignation, ‘The Minister of Gobernacion issued a decree, ad- dressed to the Governor of the State of Puebia, order- the pees of a priest of An an, in the dis- trict of Tehuacan, by the name of Miguel Mufio%. It appears that the above priest was accused of having pronounced a seditious discourse against the 8 of reform (pro! ly the law making marriage Ulegal and valueless unless performed Ed @ magistrate, al- though solemnized by a priest). The Minister recom- mends tothe government great vigilance with re- gard to the priests, wko, by their acts or counsels, are opposing the newly established laws of the country. ‘The gotton factories of this neighborhood, the sus- pension of which I have some time since announced to the PERALD, have not’ commenced again, tn con- sequence of the unwillingness of the operatives to accept the small reduction in thelr wages. Mean- time the operatives are occupying the houses of the proprietors and to a considerable extent depend upon them for at least @ portion of their food, An TNnsuceceatul attempt has: ‘2 made among a few interested parties to create sympathy for them, which has resulted in the collection of a purse of two dozen dollars for their aid. Railroad matters are dormant, awaiting Congress, which will commence in @ week. The representa- tives of the Mexico and Vera Cruz Company are, of course, ready to press their case, Mr, Cunha Reis, of the Tuspan Railroad, accompanied by a staff of entlemen from New York, likewise await the meet- ig of Congress, Some of these express their dis- satisfaction with the company in New York, and de- clare that they have been held to the letter of a certain contract, when the Crp of the com- pan should have induced. the latter rather to have pn guided by its spirit. Some of these gentiemen are in need of the comforts—yes, necessaries of life. Now that the great rebellions are put down the robber bands are beginning to push their business with extraordinary vigor. On the 2d the two Toluca _ one and @ half mile out of Toluca, were robbed by three armed men, none of the passengers having weapons. They made a successful haul of watches and money. The police of Zacatecas have been fortunate in the apprehension of Francisco Gnitierrez, chief of the bandits who assaulted the conducta of silver at the Hacienda de los Cinco Sefiores, In the State of Jalisco a band, said to num- ber 300, is ravaging the country. The government have taken energetic measures to suppress the band, and three of them lately captured were hung last week on the bridge of Zololatian. ‘The ex-imperial General Gutterrez has been con- ducted to San Juan de Ulloa, where he remaias till pardoned or the end of his imprisonment term. The three Frenchmen, who couspired to assassinate a French storekeeper lere, Lave likewise been sent to Vera Cruz. Gonzales Ortega haa recently issued a circular or Prociamation at Saltillo, Which ts most favorably re- ved by the liberal party. It has not yet appeared Zarco names the document “Abdication of the Jer,” and says ita publication is a favorable occasion for the realization of the complete unton of the liberal party. The submission of Gonzales Ortega is an act of great political and social significance, because it is the best proof of progress in the work of political and social organization and_ the past never- to-returu—an epoch of dreams and of pronuncia- mientos. Those of your readers who are interested in the Romero-Seward treaties may care to know that the press here continues to remind the people that the treaties lave no force until approved by the Mexican Congress, it is to be regretted that a disposition is being evinced to excite a discussion upon them. Proclamation of General Ortega to the Mexe ean Nation. It seoms to me unnecessary to make here a recital of the events which, relative to myself as President of one of the highest authorities of the Mexican con- federation, have taken place previous and subsequent to the decrees issued on the sth Of November, before and during the time of my tmprisonment, because all of the circumstances as they have transpired have been made public by official acts and documents.

Last evening, at sundown, the tenth day of the seventh month, the month of Tisri, began to be celebrated by the febrews all over the world, and the celebration continues through to-day until gum- down. It is with them the holiest day of the year, and is préperly calied Jom Hakkippurim, the day of atonement or conciliation. It is founded on the fole lowing command of the Lord in the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus, the Third Book of Moses, from the twenty-sixth to the thirty-second verse:— 26. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying:— 27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall aflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord. 28. And ye shall do no work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be affitcted in that same day he shall be cut off from his le. oO And Thafsoover son it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his peopie. 31. Ye shall do no manner of work; it shail be statute forever throughout your generations in your dwellings, 82, It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and shall afflict your souls in the ninth day of the moni at ens from even unto even shall ye celebrate y The day, according to the old established ritual, ts entirely devoted to fasting and devotion. During the existence of the Tempie at Jerusalem the day Was distinguished by a special sacrificial rite, which could only be performed by the high priest, and om{ that day alone, and only to the high priest it was pers mitted to enter the holtest of the holy, in obedience to the injunction—“and he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanliness of the children of Israel and because of their sions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the con; tion, that shall rematn in the midst of their uncleanness. And there shall ve no mean in the tabernacle when he in to make an atonement in the holy place until he come oa and have made an atonement for himself and for household, and for all the congregatian of Israei.”"— 3 Mdses, ch. Xvi. v. 16,17. The sacrifice ordained in this same chapter of the ae and the bullock has since been discontinued, but the whole chapter is in every Jewish congregation on this in com- memoration of the day of atonement, lished by, the Lord, through Moses, for all Israel. On the fourteenth day of the seventh month, Trart, or, this year, on the evening of the 30th day of Sep- tember, begins the Arbor Festival, called in Hebrew Chag Hassucoth, named by some also Chag Haasij the Feast of Gathering or Feast of Autumn, wh the English version of the Bible styles “the of the Tabernacles,’ in commemoration of the march of ‘he Jows through the desert, whence they were com- | thanded for the first seven days to live in arbors (3 Mo- ses, Xxtil, 33-s4). According to the Talmud the moat essential part of the hints or arbors meant is the roof, which must be loosely covered with n or dry branches #0 as to admit the rays of the sun *parely. During these seven days each ago palm t Lulab; @ handsome fruit of a tree, Esrog: a twig myrtie, Hadas, and of a willo’ Nachal, called the festive boquet (Arbaah Minim). On the seventh «lay of the feast (Hoshana Rabba) is added another buneh of willow twigs. As to the precise meant of this composition the Jewish theologians are n hited, Some believe it to be a sgn that, before God, the noblest atid the meanest are altke; others declare to mean the four principal parts of the human roly—the heart, the trunk, the eyes and the wien ait anon AS consecrated ne Lot @ two first, the 16th and 16t Tisri, and the two last, the 22d and 23d, "ore whole feasts Vy me Kodesch); the five intervening days only half-feasts (Chol Hammoed), the same as Faster, ‘The two last days, as the close of the feasts of the year, are called Shemimih Azereth, and, a4 with the last day, closes the fifty-fourth S esoth Haverachah) and the reading of the euch is yearly completed, this last day is given pe- cular significance and festive ure as Simehath ‘Thora or the Joy of the Law.
