AUSTRIA. ae Clovernmental Crises, Cabinet and Vonstitus tional—Demands of Galicia and Polish De- mocracy—Differences of Race and Legislative Dificulties—Why the Imperial Tour was Sheniensd. Viexna, Sept. 27, 1868, Wo have suddenly fallen into two publi¢ crises; a constitutional one and a ministerial one. The minis- terial one is not so grave. On the other hand, the constitutional crisis 18 of @ very serious nature and threatens, if left unhealed, to undermine the consti- tutional system in West Austria, In more than one of my recent letters I have spoken of the demands which were being drawn up by the Galician Diet— demands which claimed for this province of ancient Poland and of modern Austria a separate executive and legislature to manage provincial affairs with @ delegation to treat with Ois-Lithnania and Hungary about the common affairs of the empire. The precise measure of the demands made by the various parties of the Dict differed with each party. Smolka, at the head of the democratic Polish party, demanded for Galicia a Position in the empire similar to that which Hungary hoids. The conservative and liberal parties were more modest and aimed only at attaining such a po- Ssitton towards West Austria as the Croatian settle- ment with Hungary proposes to confer upon Croatia in its relations with Hungary. The Special Commit- tee of the Diet decided in favor of the liberal policy, which lay in an address to the monarch to be deliy- ered to him on his then approaching tour through Galicia, and the resolution containing similar ideas was to be laid before the Reichsrath inthe name of the Galician Dict, and as an instruction tothe thirty- six representatives in the Reichsrath who are elected by the said Diet. The address of the committee and resolutions were approved and passed by the Diet, alter a four days’ debate, on the 24th instant. ‘This address and these resolutions, a8 appears on their face, involve alterations in the existing consti- tution of West Austria, In favor of things as the’ are and opposed to any enlargement of the powe! of the Galician Diet 1s only one provincial party, and that is the Ruthenian fraction, who, when thelr pro- posed loyal and constitutional address was voted down, left the hall and took no further Ri rt in the debates and divisions on this question, This Ruthe- nian fraction represents about half of the Rutheni- gn3—in other words, about twenty-five per cent of the population of Galicia, Count Adam Potocki, at whose palace the sovereign was to have lodged, Count Wodzickt and the Statthalter Count Goluchowskt warned the Dict that the ad- dress and resolutions went too far; but even Count Glouchowski said that he did not pretend to be satisfied with the West Austrian constitution as it was, and Count Potocki formulated demands which Were also unconstitutional, All three of these con- servative Loblemen, however, spoke as Poles more than as Austrians—spoke as men who looked wy) Galicia, in the first instance, merely as part of their true Fatherland—a great Poland. On the 26th the Emperor and Empress were to have left Pesth on their Galician tour. A large por- tion of the imperial suite had already atrived in ra. cow. The Archduke Albert, the commander-in-chief of the army, had also repaired to Cracow with a view to receive the august guests. Deputations of peas- ants from the rural parts had also arrtved tn town, and every town along the intended route of the im- perial pair had not only voted, but had already expended large suins of money in triumphal arehes and other decorations. Vain ¢; tations, useless expenditure of time aud money! Sosoon as Francia Joseph heard of the passage of the address and reso- lutions in questioa, he gave up his project of visiting Galicia. Imagine the consternation in Cracow! The s@nnouncement of this resolve threw @ wet blanket over the generous hopes of the Poles. This is by no means ali. Count Glouchowski—he who has been Statthalter of Galicia ever since the state of siege in that province was aboiished (1865)—he who has been one of the connecting links between the German Austrians and the Poles, has been summoned to Vi- enna to give an account of his conduct. the charge be- ing that he spoke too much asa Pole and not enough a3 an . Uae a nia sectgnacn — ae! hog yeste: with his resignation in his pocket, an Gay's journals are united in affirming that his resig- nation has been accepted. His successor 1s not a named, and it will be duiicult. I think, to finda Pole who wiil fill the vacant post on the condition jatred—namely, that he must be more Austrian and less national than Count Giogshowar, who was among the most philo-Austrian of his countrymen, And now let us cast a glance at the “situation” hus created. tween the sovereignty of the German-Austrian liberals on the oue side and the Poles on the other. But the corner stone of the West Austrian constitu- tion was precisely the co-operation of the jalician Poies with the German liberals. The erman liberals have already ayainst them and ‘he constitution (1), the German feudal and clericai je Dapir is predominant in the Tyrol (2), the cha of Bohemia and Moravia (3), the Slovenes of rintia, Carnivlia and Lower Styria (4), the Italians f the Tyrol, Istria and Dalmatia. If, now, the Ger- mau liberals throw the Poles into opposition, they will henceforta have only themselves and afew Ru- thenians to rely upon, and under such circumstances the constitution becomes as much a fiction as it was {n the time of Schmerling’s administration. * Mhe Press and New Free Press of this city support the dynastic and winisterial view of the question, and are clamoring for @ penal diss lution of the Galician Diet and tae institution of direct elections to the Reichsrath, as if those elections in Galicia would send to the Reichsrath @ less Polish delegation that the Diet now sends, On the other band the Dedatie and the Wanderer approve of the resolution of the Diet, are willing to give Galicia that separate em ja the monarchy (Sonderstei- tung) whicu she des res, and forebode nothing but evil to the constitution from the continuance of the present regieuable variance between the Germans and the Poles. In comparison with the constitutional crisia the Ministerial one, which is quite disconuected from the former, fades into insignificance. Prince Carlos pegs the Premier of the West Austrian Cabi- net, has definitely resigned, and his resignation hag been accepted. ‘The reasons assigned are a fatlure of his health and discontent at the over- Alhadowing part played in the lities = Of the empire by Baron von and Count Andrassy. ‘it appears from the letter of the Emperor, which accepis his resignation, that so eariy as June jast, wuen the Kaiser summoned Haro von Beust to Prague to negotiate with the Cz leaders, Prince Carios took offence at being pa over by the sovereign and then tendered his resigna- tion, ‘That resignation was not accepted, but he has now renewed his application to be relieved from his wand with better success this time, Prince Car- jos carries with him into retirement the undivided peepect of the pubic.

Organized Opposition to Prussinn Suprem- acy—Minor Royalty and Democracy— The People’s Party of the South and Its Platform—Meeting in Stuttgart—Policy Towards the North—The Labor Question. SrurTaarr, Sept. 27, 1868, The German opposition to Prussian hegemony 1s composed of two powera—the smaller courts and the democrats. The democratic opposition has crys- tallized itself into the people’s party (Volkspartet), and of this party might be spoken the epigram which used to be applied to the American demo- cratic party as 1t was—namely, that “it had its head in the South and its tailin the North.” The Volks. partet flourishes in Soath Germany, and above all, in Wiirtemberg, where it is the strongest party, although not yet able to outnumber tie Prussian and ministerial parties united. On the 19th and 20th instants a meeting of dele- gates of this party took place in this city and the re- sult of its two days’ deliberations was the launching of a “platform,” the “planks” of which 1 shall enu- merate below. ‘With reference to the number and representative power of the delegates the Democratic Correspond- ence of this city says:—‘‘We were far from being a host, yet we were a respectable crowd. Holstein, Hanover, Berlin, Electoral Hesse and Nassau each sent one representative; friends appeared from Sax- onland; coming nearer to us (from Frankfort, Hesse Darmatadt, Baden, Franconia and ape Bavaria) the delegates were more numerous. Suabia (Wilr- tember in whose chief city we were debating, naturally sent the strongest contingent. German Austria was not represented and that was a draw- back. A friendly address from Edward Kopp (the late President of the Schuetzenfest) and other Viennese friends, which excused their absence on the ground of their Pt duties at home (the Lower Austrian Diet is in session), gave tt is true, compensation in one respect by the warm expression of their sympathy, but at the same time made us feel the void only the more painfully. On the other hand, there appeared another element of the political movement for the first (ime, We mean representa- tives of the working class party, although we have always battled against these class distinctions. The German people’s party has not in its programme, its acts or its alas an toia which favors the so-called middie clasg, or even distinguishes one class from the other, It recs only and works only fora poole of citizens and brothers of equal rights, it would not deserve the namo of democratic, if alongside of équal rights it did not in- scribe on tts banner the common weal of all.

We believe that, now that we and the working class part Peo come together, we shall remain together d. The first day of the session the three following pro- positions were “sonnel The German ere pote party acknowledges t! following princi; 3 1, The democratic principle of equality, and de- mands therefore the equal co-operation of all citi- zens in the forming and working of the constitution, the eet ie out of the principle of the self-govern- ment of the people in the State. 2 In national as in international atfairs ths people's party acknow- i the right of every clan (Volkstamm) ag well as of every people to determine its own destiny, Only in this way does it strive after unity.

The King of Siam is a remarkable astronomer and | THE SPANISH REVOLUTION. The Decline of Spain—Drift of the Present Revolution—The Provisional Gevernment— General Prim—Queea Isabella—Pretenders to the Throne—Cuba and Annexation, Cosas de Espaia form still the uppermost topic of the day. It has been avery long time eince Spain has bad it in her power to interest “the world and the reat of mankind" as she is now doing, so many years has that magnificent country been but a blank (or a black) spot on the map—nominis umbdra! Spain! How was it possible under such a caption to attract the slightest attention when the whole modern world, including especially those apostles of Progress and enlightenment entitled newspapers and travellers, gave the Peninsula the go-by; when it was but one vast cavern of gorruption and igno- rance, a sleeping, inert mass, lying prostrate at the feet of Europe, capable of exciting only indifference on all sides and to every spectator? S80 the “things of Spain’ have not only been hitherto null and sunk into a sea of oblivion, but the very mention of her name when perchance made, has been a bore to all ears. The O’Donnells, the Esparteros, the Prims, with their various move- ments and pronunctamtentos, ending at or before birth in puny jlasco; the occasional shaking of Spanish dry bones when all else was momentarily quiet on the European Continent, as if they were at last about to get up and start on a tramp—all passed by like the idle wind. True, in beholding the mod- ern Spaniards, degraded to a brutal degree of igno- rance and defiled by sensual corruption, we were compelled to remember that they came of a strong race; the historical record, although written in blood, was there before us to recall the former fame, power, the high exploits, the accumulated riches and the vast domain upon which the sun never set, the grand reigns of Ferdinand and Isabella, of Charles Y., of Philip 11., of Saragossian realstance to Napo- leon I. But how foreign has all that been to the Spain of the last half century! The glories of the past have been so far removed from the late reall- tles, so striking in contrast, as to be regarded almost a myth, There are many causes which could be adduced to explain this utter collapse that befell the Spanish nation after such brilliant fortunes. When its power and commerce, warriors and statesmen fatled and came to an end, the whole edifice tumbled and fell through, for it was based purely on prowess of arms and cunningness of statecraft. It was sup- ported by no intellectual props, by no innate move- ment or self-development of the mind in that people which might have evolved from the old Roman stock transmitted throagh the Middle Ages a portion of what is now known as modern civilization, con- tributed to by all the nations except Spain. This evident supineness of brain, this spiritual lacking, may in turn have resuited from the influence of race or from the intermixtare of bloods—possibly brought about by climate; but, however that may be, the illustrations are suficiently numerous to show that the Spanish People have always been a good deal on the order “of the earth, earthy.” Power of com- merce and of arms they enjoyed in the past, but never, at any time, have Lanes been able to boast of great writers, thinkers and in- ventors, like the other peoples of the earth. Their sterility has been unique and remarkable. They have never contributed to science in an original sense, and to-day their entire literature, native and to the manor born, may be rightfully said to consist in one book—Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” Now, however excellent and justly celebrated may be this admirable work, it cannot be sald to combine all those varied intellectual creations and displays which decorate the escutcheons of other nations, Works of genius are certainly ill replaced and but poorly compensated by brute courage, silly preju- dices, absurd bigotries, gambling, fine dancing and bull-fighting. Look at the difference: the Italians have seen harder years under tho yoke of ignorance, bestiality and tyranny than ever did Spain, and yet how great is the prestige of Italy; how pleasantly does that honored name greet the car, not because it is the old Ztalia of the Romans, but because it represents the greatest writers, poets, artists, dis- coverers, statesmen and warriors who contributed 80 largely in the modern to civilize a barbarous Europe. From beyond the Pyrenees nothing akin to such high glory, such precious value, bas ever come forth to confer a similar lustre on Spain; a continual dead-sesson of ideas has prevalled there, with what sad and humiliating results is but too plain. A thorough comprehension of this marked dif- Terence—that of intellectual vitality between the people inhabiting the Iverlan peninsula and the other giuropeans is necessary before all to explain the past and to sift the present con- dition of Spanish affairs.

The actualities of the situation in Spain excite our interest all the more because no reai change in that quarter was looked for. Yet the events we are spectators of to-day give some promise of terminat- ing in a successful revolution; we know that a thirty- five year reign of darkness. visible, imbecility and Pollution has suddenly ended, hence curiosity is on toe to observe what the revoiution:sty will make of the country now that they have it in their bands, ‘That is the main point. And in truth they seenl to have goue to work right speedily in order to make of it a tabula rasa—on paper. Up to present writing they have put forth no littie amount of the proclamation style and builetin board literature, containing thie fluest and broadest promises that could be made in regard to all the intricate questions that still obstruct the course of other countries far ahead in the races, and granting liberties of all kinds—education, a beet finances, emancipation, liberation from old abuses of a thousand years’ standing and what not. Jn short, none can hesttate to remark that the new regime inaugurated in the last few weeks looks weil in black and white; but in calculating the probable chances of ita success in practice it becomes neces- sary to recollect the calibre of the men who are to act as its executors and the circumstances under which it has been brought about, as weil as the con- dition of the people for whom itis proposed. It 19 not to be expected that a people who have always been led by the order of Jesuitg and drivea by a long race of tyrants, who have been taught and encour- aged to disregard the pace of the rest of the world, and whoby nature cling tenaciously to thetr tradi- tional usages, can suddenly eee into the fullness of American republicanisin or of English constitutioa- alism, Instigated by Prim, effected by means of the navy and army, sanctioned or rather unopposed by by the people, the present revolution has been so far a job of easy execution, ‘The Central Junta at the capital aud the several Juntas in the provinces, wich were instituted at the outset and on the spur of the moment, agree to constitute a happy family. The absence of bickering and chattering looks like earnestness in the good work that they should see before them, The Head Centre from Madrid an- nounces in advance the grand, fundamental aims of the movement, sketching their outlines on erin order that so much may be considgsed as led to begin with, oniy remitting to the shoulders of a Cortes Const tuyentes, to ve elected by the le at large, the mere detail of deciding the nattona will in regard to the form of government, Apparently this stuacks of inconsistency; but, then, revolution must strike when at white heat, and the blows are deait hastily, the steps takea at a double-quick. One great advantage just now clearly possessed by the Spanish leaders {8 that they have their country in their own hands and keeping to shape its future as best they are capable of doing. There is no likell- hood of another iaterveation across the Pyrenees, such as that of the Holy Alilance in 1823, or that Na- ang It. would throw bimseif gatly and wantouly into a Wasp's Hest, a8 Spain would be to au invader, Indved whatever ipfuence that still very potent sov- ereign may man to exercise indirectly upon the destinies of the country the French themselves ad- mit that other and more urgent alfairs require the presence oi his battailons on the Rhine, wnere, eay they, their whole army, tramense as it is, will not be too much to cope with the dilticulties awaiting them—and that a French iatervention in the Penin- sula is simply out of the question, Sarragossa and Mexico bave borne fruits of repentance. While all this may not be contested the perplexing diMcuities surrounding the revolution forvid an tudulgence ua the highest expectations as regards final resuita, ‘EH PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT, which has just been recognized formally by Mr. Hate on the part of the United states, numbers among its members not one of great ability.

In person he is of medium size, of @ pallid complexion, with eyes of a rather but singular expression, and is remarkable for his sobriety, being a teeto- taler and a vel rare smoker, At an early age he volunteered as a soldier at the beginning of the civil war caused by the ascension of Isabella IL, to the throne. In the army he distinguished himself greatly and being remarked for his bravery, é!an and unwavering success, was rewarded with rapid promotion, At the close of that struggle he entered polls life by joining the progressive party against japartero, then at the head oi the regency during the minority of the youthful sovereign. After a while, be! accused of conspiracy jt the throne, he hastened to Bo the Pyrenées between himself and his native id; but on being electea shortly afterwards a deputy to the Cortes he re- turned and fought the regency of Espartero until it ended. On the a in of Narvaez to the Ministry Prim was sent out of the country on the charge that he had conspired to assassinate that Minister, when he joined the Turks and fought through the Crimean war. Being again elected to the Coites he returned to partake in the measures of the party of pro- gress. He distinguished himself in the Spanish war against Morocco, and in 1861 was in charge of the een Portion of the rand filibustering expedition sent out by France, Sngland and pris which was to redress their griev- ances against Mexico, and for which the republic proved too much. From that expedition Prim with- drew a8 soon as he plainly perceived its scope and the ambitious schemes of the French Emperor. Not long since, under the reactionary poley, of the Nar- vaezes, Bravos, &0., he was forced to flee into the exile from which he recently returned to overthrow so triumphantly the ex-Queen’s throne, in the pro- cess of which Operation his proclivities towards re- publicanism have been unmistakably manifested.

Her reign has been marked by a frightful civil war, by endless execu- tions and massacres, by political and religious tyranny that would have given points to that of a Philip IL, by the most infamous corruption at the court and general demoralization that per- vaded the whole land. Under her sway priests, Jesuits, &c., fourished like a en bay tree, until retrogradism was alone held in honor, In justiication of her title of “la Catoliea” she again and again proffered her soldiers to nphold the tottering chair of the Pope, Italian aspirations and susceptibilities being as nothing in her eyes but high treason to the Holy Mother Church. Having used in turn as her instr d- ments Kspariero, O’Vonnell, Narvaez, she had re- course in her latter days to the Conchas, to Gonzalez Bravo, and finally to a Marforl. With such supports to sustain her rotten throne, it is strange that Prim did not sooner topple it over and send the last of the Bourbons to pine away in her well merited exile. It was time that a ruler who had become so iafam- ous a4 she should have been driven out of the high laces; a3 she, Whose vicious propensities and deeds, it has been aply remarked, could only decently be ralated in Latin; as she who made if the ordinary avocation of Spanish ambassadors in all the coun- tries of Europe to have newspapers suppressed and their editors ined and imprisoned for cating her the most uachaste of names. PRETENDERS TO THE THRONE. There are @ host of pretenders to the throne she vacated. The Duke de Montpensier hrs @ good personal reputation among the Spaniards; but his French origin works ust him, for the Freach are as much detested in §; today as they were in the days of the slege of Saragossa. ‘The Prince of the Asturias, the ex-sovercign’s son; Prince Girgenu, brother of the ex-King of Naples; Prince Amadeus, Victor Emanuel’s son; the King of Portugal; one of the Engush princes, are all aspiring bidders. Aud the lists are still open to other Clainants who will spring up, Whether gny of these pretenders or the republic shall rule over Spay depends now on the deilberations of the Cores, Lee tis Dope, in DAY ¢ that the appeal made to the Cortes will not vain for the re- demption of the inert but living masses from the system of bondage that has held them as frightened slaves under imperious masters, and that the new vernment, When organized, may be more humane, eral and capable than tts Wehed predecessors. The inactive tir rh er by ihe Cal it attitude obser’ ans regard to the troubles of the mother country {8 & oi that the inhabitants of the “faichful isle’? are await- ing the turn of events; while the said mother coun- try appears very anxious to be recognized by her colony. Under a betier goverament than that which bas existed of late in Spain pee Cubans express a de- sire to remain a part of the Spanish dominio! The only obstacle to their adoption of the other alterna- tive left them—viz., that of annexation to the United States—ig the ‘ar entertained that slavery yous be abolished by us the moment the land should be annexed. They maintain that such abolition would be unaccompanied by pecuniary in- demnitication to the large proprietors and siave- owners, who would be thereby plunged tato the same abyss of poverty that has befallen the c/-devant slaveholders of the South. Were it not for this the Cubans admit that the native population would to- morrow clamor to become part and parcel of this great repubiic. Assurediy tuis latter alternative may be considered their manifest destiny. During lany long years the Cubans have been wearied with Spanish ruie and have never failed to show thelr de- testation of Spanish greed aud avarice. The Span- iards, according to tie native islanders, only go to Cuba to make their fortanes by rovbing the people in every conceivable manner, and aiter a few years’ residence return home laden with spoils enough to Jast tue balance of their lives. One has to talk with them to understand fuily the disgust they ente.tain towards ticir ancestors, “No wonder,” say they, “that the Spanish people coilectivery and individ- ually desire io retain us aniler their government, for they draw the best portion of tae revenue irom us— we are @ mine for tueim.”” EGYPT.

It wil be remembered taat in March last Captain Benjamin #. Johnson and the mate of the schooner Brave, engaged in the oyster trade on one of the creeks In somerset County, were murdered by four of the negro hands employed on tho scavoner. Two were captured and tried before the Court in somerset county sad are now wader sentence to be hanged on the i4th of December. The other two escaped. One of then was named Frank Rounds and the wlice of the city have been on tue lookout for him jor several weeks past, baving reasons to believe that he was in the city. Yesterday afternoon about two o'clock he was pointed out to Oiicer Ward, of the Southern District, as having entered a distilery in Guilford alley, between Light and Charies streets, ‘The oificer followed and Jaying his hand on Rounds’ shoulder said. “1 want you to go with me.” He resis and, according to the oMcer'’s statement, said, “You G—d d—d son of a b—h, I will kill you, too,’’ The oflicer endeavored to draw his baton, when Rounds snatched it from him and strack him several times on the head, infiicting painful scalp wounds and knocking him down twice. A atruggie between the two ensued, but the negro was the more power- ful, and after inflicting these wounds upon the officer turned and ran down Gullford alley, Mr. Ward raised himself to his knees, drew his revolver and fired twice at the negro. The first shot had no eifect, but the second struck him in the back. He fell and was taken in an msensible condition to the Southern District Police Staion, Here he was laid on the foor in @ back room, and on being left alone he got up and ran out through the yard gate aid dowa Peach alley. He was pursued and back and locked up in a cell, the spinal colam! the avdominal cavity. eee The Commerce of Bolivia and of tho Amazen Valley Threwna Inte the Hands of the United States.

It will also negotiate the free transit from Barba on the Madera to the rivers of Bolivia, and vice versa, for all vessels employed or belonding to the company or which may come consigned or in freight to its ac- count under any flag; as also to estab! @ port of embarkation and disembarkation, free of imposte of any class to the prejudice of commerce, at the first rapid of San Antonio, and during the period of canalization open by land the roads which may be necessary to avoid said rapids.

Hitherto our commerce with Bolivia has amounted to nothing directly. A few goods only pave found their way into the country through the ‘alparaisgo market, Cobija, the only seaport of Bolivia, was, up to 1865, the great entrepot of Bolivian trade, Owing to the custom house Seey, bee with Peru ie that year, nearly all the Bolivian imports found theix way through avian port of Arica, In 185% the goods enieri Cobija summed up 15,941 tons, In_ 1364, before new custon house arrange- ment at Arica, the importation at Cobija was 84,801 tons, showing @ very large increase in the trade of the country. It would be extremety dificult now to ascertain the amount of this trade, as an account of it would show the gains of Pera upon Bolivian commerce with other countries. AlL these proms, enter Fonvie. fs a0, average cost to the centres of consumption of gold, per ton, for mule freight across the Andes—to Oe. for Cool Instance, the centre of supply for @ halt million of inhabitants, it costs about $225, gold, per ton, trom Cobija and about $176 from Arica. Some years these prices vary and have been known to go as Ligh ag $400 per ton, Of this foreign European trade which roughly estimated reaches $3,00),0v0 annually, Eng- and absorbs two-thirds and France the rewalnder, The exports of Bolivia to surope in 1s64 amounted to sume $2,000,000, gold—the heavy balance against her she was obliged to pay in the product of her silver mines. This yield averages about $2,600,000 annually, and is almost entirely absorbed by'Burope and the frontier countries of Boilvia. ‘The Argentine republic alone receives ten per cent of the above amount, annualiy smuggied across her border {nto Salta. ‘The great mineral districts are so situated relative to the agcicuitural districts that there is an extraor- dinary movement of internal trade. This, by a caree ful estimate in 1844, amounted annaally to $30,000,000, gold, ‘To-day it canaot be far fou $50,000,000, The proces of the valley of Yungas alone, lyiug at the head waters of the Bent river, amount to $0,000,000 yearly, and are distributed all over the republic. Bolivia, impoverished by the ever heavy balance of trade against her, payable in her silver products, has steadfastly looked to the Amazon as tue sure foundation of a great future. Tne freignt across tae Cordillera has shut up products the richest, most abundant and varied of any country in the world, Her inability to make use of tuese to balance her trade account has brought her to a condition which almost threatens her dissvjution as a separate na- tionality. it is no wonder, then, that she grasps us the navigation of her rivers even with such an ex~ traordinary concession as the above. Heretofore she has been completely locked up by Brasil; bat her treaty of Marca, 1807, wita this empire, and the freedom of the Amazon decreed September 7, 1867, with her rights uner articie forty-two of the same, gave her a new and immediate tmpuise, Tne only obstruction to a continuous naviga'ion te the centres of population of Buiivia, which average from 1,600 to 1,50) mies from the mouth of the Aut azon, are the rapids, or cachuelas of the Madera au@ Mamoré, all clustered together and numvering sev- enieen. Fourteen of tuese ofer no impediment, elther up or down, to canoe navigation and none for steamers. ‘Tne ovher three are inore formidadle. Lateral canals, the longest of which Wil uot ex- ceed a mile, are reyuued to make their transit, ‘By the way of the Amazoa European or United states goods can be delivered in any of the great capitals of Bolivia for halt the cost of deilvering them even after they reach the Paciilc coast by tueur present route via Cape Horn, The concession here given controls over 3,008 miles of navigable rivers, taps a country three times tue size of France, if we inciude a great part of the rich Brazilian province of Mato-Groso, with its 100,000 inhabitants and its valuable productions, Nine-tenths of the 2,000,000. population of Bolivia Le within easy reach of these streams, while some twenty ports, varying irom 1,000 to 15,000 inhabi- tants, exist upon the river margins, buiit up by the internal trade of the country. Of late years a limited commerce by canoes has sprang up between these ports and the mouth of the Amazon.
