The Unsottled Condition of Spain, The North German Lioyd’s steamship Deutschland, Captain Wessels, which left Bremen on the 14th and Southampton on the 17th inst., arrived at this port yesterday morning. She brings details of our tele- gas up to date of sailing. The advisers of King Victor Emanuel are per- auading his Majesty to visit Naples as a political necessity, ; The Independence Belge says that the French gov- ernment bas just made a present fo the Roman gov- ernment of 20 009 muskets, 6,000 of which are Chas- *2pots—an act of generosity which the Belgian paper thinks will not be over agreeaple Co Italy. It ts reported that the ex-Queen of Spain wished to De invited to Compiegne; but as the French Court has never received Don Carlos, her Majesty 18 not Uxcly to join ‘he imperial circle, ee an It is expected that the Freach Chambers will open in December for their last session, as they expire by law in May, 1869. Much curiosity ts felt about what the Eniperor will say in his address from the throne, In affecting simplicity, accompanied to the grave by the relailves and a few personal friends of the @eceased, the corpse of the late Marquis of Hastings ‘was bur.ed iu Kensal Green Cemetery on Saturday, She 14th inst. Tne late Marquis was not all bad, as ‘those who were in guch hagte to denoupce bum were not all good, eee Rb te ye aa in reply to a lettertrom the froddity Socvetary qf the National Sunday League Mr. Stuart Mill says that he has repeatedly stated at public meetings that ‘he should vote fur the opening or places of instruc- tive recrcation, such a3 museums and libraries, on Sundays. . General Prim haa addressed a circular in response to a request made by nearly all the Captains Gen- eral for an increase in the provincial garrisons. ‘The circular announces the concentration of @ con- Siderable body of troops in New Castile, which, thanks to thé numerous railways and telegraphs, could be inatagtly despatched wherever it might be Receasary. t * s Mr. Gladstone addresséd a large theeting in Lan- Gashire on ihe 14th inst, In his speech he said: * The great evii of Ircland was Protestant ascen- @axioy, as shown by the spirit of domination, the sys- 1 Of maintaining it by a favored minority and re- Ayiug upon that to govern a country without regard to tue convictions, habits and feelings of the great 4ba3s of the people. > Mr. Brigit spoke the same afternooh fh Birmtng- ham. He commenced by an allusion to the great- Bess and power of England. Yet he said:— ‘With all our greatness and all our wealth; if we loosed at_hume we found among our popu'ation a quass of poverty and of ignorance and of. suffering of which u Curistlan nation ought to be ashamed. He ‘Glanced at wat had been done to ameliorate that ‘condition in the course of the iast thirty years, and dvew a picture of how much remained to do to re- nove the ignorance, to check the crime, and dimin- ish the paupzrism of the people. 2 ‘The Vienna Presse of November 14, referring to the denial given by the Paris papers to its statement that nezotiations are pending for the revision of the ‘Treaty of Paris, says:— « ne We admit that it is not a revision, but an authentic Interpr. tation of the treaty of Paris, in so far as re- J:es to (he Danubtan Principalities that is intended, ‘Tits interpretadon is to be embodied in an additional Frotocoi to the treaty. ‘ Some dimculties which have occurred between the Egyptian customs authorities and the merchants at Port Said have, to @ certain extent, threatened to disturb the relations between the Suez Canal Com- Pray and the Egyptian government, The Viceroy as, however, met M. de Leaseps, and has agreed that all the questions tp dispute shall be referred to @ mixed commission, t » Apprehensions are entertained of a new outbreak among the Arabs tf Algeria, and the Emperor has been asked, though up to the present time in vain, to do away with the severe system of military gov- ern:nent. The Emperor of Austria has addressed an anto- greph letier to the Chancellor of the Empire, Baron Beust, in which it is ordered that hencefurtn the title of the E.nperor, in treaties with foreign Powers, tall be Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemla, &c., and Apostolic King of Hungary. In the text of these treaties the abbreviate! form, Emperor of Austria and Aposto ic King of Hangary, will be used, and his Majesty will then be spoken of as his Majesty the Emperor and King, or his Imperial and Royal Apos- folic Majesty, It is further ordered that the whole Of the royal and other provinces shall be designated as the Austro-llungarian monarchy, or the Austre- Hungarian State (Reich). ‘the European papers announce that another earth- quake was felt, this time in the East of Europe, at Bucharest. The shock, which 1s descrived as vio Jeat, was experienced at nine o’clock on Friday mornirg, the ith inet, The papers of the 16th also say that there has been @uch a heavy tall of snow upon the Alps that for two Gays the tramc upon the Fell Ratlway over Mont Cenis, both for goo.ls and passengers, has been sus- pended. The /alie says that many of the travellers Proceeding to France were compelled to return to Genoa and enibark there for Marseilica, FRANCE. ‘The Press Prosecutions in Paris—Trial of the Baudia CaseArratigument and Punishment of Editors aud Others, ‘The tria) o* tie Baudin case came to a close on the Might of che 15th inst, It has excited the greatest sensation torougnout France. The names of the de- featan.s and tie wavure of the charge against them have veen aready stated, but it is necessary Lo re- ut botu tu renier wiat follows intelligible. The efendans were M, Theodor Duret, proprietor ad manager of the Zribune; M. Chuliemet cour, manacer of the Revue Polttique Auguste Coites, commonly calied Gaillard K Porcelain designer; M. Quentin, editor of the “é 14; M. Peyrou.on, teacher of classics and ia eT yiles; Pyrat, editor of the Avenir Na- al; M. Dek uze, manager of the Réveil: M. Gaiiurd, shoemaker. They were ail indicted on the charge of having * practised mancuvres w tain the revit with the object of hoiding up the governwent to hatred and contempt,” and Messrs. Cortes, Pey: rouion and Quentin were charged, in addition, with ing heid up the government to hatred and con- pe by the speeches delivered at the Montmartre Ce wetery on the 2d of November of the current year. The proceedings were very simple; first, questions Were put to al tue defendants; next a number of Wiiuesses, cheifly policemen, were examined; then the svocat Imperial made a s) h, and the various © ungei for the defendants addressed the Court, The Questions put to the defendants are @ curiosity in their Way, M. Delescluze was first examined:— Preside M. Delesciuze, have you not already Deen sen.enced to more than one ye imprison- Mseott Answer—! do not think 1am called upon to abi Uhat question; moreover, the amnesty of #o8 wiped wwWay previous condemnations, leu —It ts my duty to remind you of your con cwHations to more than one year’s imprison. men’.

Answer—Yes, M. te President, several papers had publisued it; in particular, the Gaulots, the Figaro, and tue Liveric, When It Was contradicted by the be President—You wrote a letter tothe Arenir Na.

(Laughter.) I had not requested M. Quentin to go to the cemetery to maxe a speech in his capacity as editor of the Reveil, I had asked him to go there professionally and see what was going on, in order to give a correct account of what might take place in the paper; I really don’t see why I should be held responsible because 4 number of young fellows asked M, Quentin to say & lew words over Baudin’s gave, President—In the article published in the Reretl T ft the Krvel, had note the following pecuiiaritt Quentin, as the representativ been urged to make a speech; that Baudin died on Une barricade in the bourg St. Antoins jn fulfiil- ing a duty?

Answer—Which, by the . Was not disturbed, Tesident—Will you trust to what your counsel may urge in your behalf? Answer—Yes; but] mean to address the Court, too, if 1 think fit. The President then put questions to Gaillard, Sr. An extract of the exaimination is worth giving, 38 & specimen of the way in whica they mauage these ‘things in France, President—Gaillard, have you ever been con- demned ? Auswer—Never M. le President. President—On the 2d of November you went to the Cemetery of Montmartre? Answer—Yes; 1 went there with my son. President—Did you not wear a red cachenez (com- forter)? Answer—JMon Deu, 1 wore the same oachenez that 1am wearing now; I used ff, as } am using it to-day, in lieu of a cravat; 1 did not mean anything by ic, - President—It has been noted that though the weather was not cold both you and your son wore comforters. However, I understand you to say that you had go design in doing so. Yad you any family motiron tg? to the cemngrery? Biswetngo, Ihave 0 ee 8 Ra rt Did Fon not go to the cemetery in con- uence of the article in tue Reve? Answer—L never saw the article; but tf I pad it would have strengthened my deiermination to go there; I go every year with my son to lay a crown of immor- —_ (ers Ne of Godefroid Cavaiguac, whose lenj--Well, when you had laid the crown on tneisrater 4 net y did you not go? Yoursat down and a nie Ansawer—yes, 1 read La Cloohe; I went agltold you just now to lay ao offering of flowers on the grave of Cavaignac; | waited because 1 knew some friends were coming for the same pur- pose; I was seated and reading véry quietly when some people cawe up to me and asked where Bau- din’s grave was; as [ knew where it was J really knew Do reason why I shou.dn't tell them. ‘To out the maiter short Gailiard admitted tbat he went to Baadin’s grave, and seeing a lot of people around it he asked his son to deliver some lines over it, The son “improvised” au ode, which does credit to his talents, beginning « eo Yangt ana! vingt ans d'oubli, de douleur, de silences Out pass. sur la pierre od ton nom seul est mis; And ending— ‘Mats le regne insolent d'an pouvoir tyrannique Jusqua’s la bn des temps, non, ne saurait ducer. Gailiard, Jr., said he only meant by these lines to express his opinion of the régime which Baudin died m opposing. M. Quentin was asked why he made a speech over Baudin’s grave. He explained that after looking out for it and not finding 1t he “ed suddenly come upon it, A number of young fellows came up to him to ask him to say a few words. The following neat little scene of fence then took place:— President—What were the words you uttered? Answer—I beg, M. le Presitent, to remark that I am a@ defendant; you bring me here to answer for a speech made; you musi know what that speech wi President—It ia to be fonnd in the Gaulois, An- swer—Is the Gaulots the prosecutor? President—No; but as ine words have been printed and you did not contradict them, | presume you ad- mit their correctness? Answer—I really have noti- ing to do with that. I said nothing in any way repre- hensible, but I really do not feel cailea upon to stfp- ply the prosecution with proofs. The prosecution a8 NO substance; it is founded on nothing. You prosecute me for having made a@ speech, and you want me to tell you what that speech was. wy it before me and then J wii) tell you if the report is correct. M. Peyroutoh was pat through lon interroga- tory to induce him fo admit that he had madea speech in which the words “may Baudin’s ilie be an example to us on the day of the fight’ occurred. But he refused to admit having said anything o1 the kind. M. Peyrat, the editor of the Avenir National, was next Incerrogated. Fresident—Detendant Peyrat, you have incurred condemnations before this? Answer—Yes; for press of Presideat—You published in the Avenir of the 4th fone written to you by M. Delescluze? Answer— 1 or ee some remarks of your own rt a opened aedbecription for Baudin? Answer— Tresident—Thst '@ what yon are charged with. The prosecution views in those facts a previous con- cert, @ premedtated understanding, Auswer—A few words of exp.anation may not ve unnecessary; on the 3d inst, om arriving at the office, | learne: that severai friends contemplated erecting a mouu- ment to Baudin, whose grave had been discovered ou the previous day ia the Monunartre Cemetery. I thought the idea was a very good one; I thought it would produce eaceilent eect, and that our frends Would be glad to subscribe; 1 tuumediatuly pee @ subseripiion; there Was nO manceuvre about the tiins at all; it was, you see, periectly spontane: us. Presid -ut—Well, but that very fact of making an appeal in the Avenir National? Answer—‘here Was ho appeal to make @ wanifestation, as the sub- script.on came afver the 2d of November. President—Wdouw Dieu, see all | say is koenly watched; I am sharply taken up at every instaot; | am not prosecuting you: 1 am merely telling you what you are cuarged With, not giving you my Owu opimons. I repeat, that the prosecution reiies on those articles which you contend are mereiy meant to honor Baudin’s memory, aud which | call un ap- peal. Similar questions were put to M. Challemel La- cour of the Hecue Povtique. Owing to the absence of his counsel, M. Jules Favre, M. Vuret, of the Tribune, elected to be tried by default, Several policemen deposed that tie speeches over Baudins grave were followed by cries of *Vire la Republique.” One of the policemen created great indignation in court by talking of the grave of tue “Sieur Baudin” and the “slewr Cavaignac.” An- other coud not remember what he had heard, but pulled @ paper out of lis pocket to refresh his mem- ory. Py Ni. Le Chevalier, a member of the Paris bar, de- posed that Quentin only made a speeca with the greatest reluctance, and that Galllard exerted him Seif so strenuous.y to keep the peopie quiet tuat several of them shouted taat he was a srwieerd Advocate Generai Aulois (hen addressed the Court for the prosecution. He laid it down it was a regu- larly organized plan to atiack the very priuciple of the goverament under the pretence of doing honor to Baudin'’s memory. He developed that tueme at enormous length, The couns.i for the defendants then addressed the Court and were excessivery bitter, M. Cremieux, who spoke for M. Quentin, had no diMcuity in siow- ing up the absurdity of the pros cution of his c rent for a speech of which tha Procureur Linperial coud not produce either the text or (he substance. M. Emanuel Arago did not piead tor nis clients, but conuned hiumsell to carrying war into the enemy's camp—he drew a paraiiel between M. ae Morny aud M. Baudin, aud caied om the Court to “shudder at the contrast.”? The most telling speech -was that of M. Gambetta. He stated that it was very evident that the preseut government was founded on the 2d of December, and asked why it did not celebrate as a sete day that of its birth’ He would teil them the reason why. They were ashamed of it, and the friends of liberty kept the anniversary as that of aday of mourning, in the hope of a brighter fucure. rhe Cout then adjourned to deliberate, and brought in a judgment acyuituag Quentin on vac coun, onthe ground that ihe speech he was pro. secuted for having delivered had not been taken down accurately enough to have its oTensive cha- racter legally ascertained, and convictlug him and ali the others, On the ground that tue facts they are reproached with, ‘when they are considered yn the aggregate and not arvirarily sepa- rated,” constiiute tue offence of “practis- ing manwuvres;’ that is to say, thar the subecription per se Was harmiess and that the mani. festation per’ se Was equally so; but that, taken to- gether, they form the elastic offence of “practising manoeuvres.” M. Delescluze gets #'X months! im risonment and 2,0001. fine, Measra, Peyrat, Chal- jemel Lacour, Gente and Duret (this y de- fauit) to 2,v00r. fife; Messrs. Peyrouion anu Gaillard, Jr., to one month's imprisoumeat aud 1601, fine, and Gaillard, Sr., to 500f, flue, Now, without any hair-splitting or mincing mat- ters, I must say that if we once admit the principle of prosecuting individuals for their “intentions,"’ there can be no doubt but that the conviction of the defendants 13 perfectly intelligible, There cannot be the sinallest doubt but that all the papers did mean, in paying a tribute to beudin, to show What their opiion of the government was. But how the eee was weak and ill-advised = enou to ran the risk of having the speeches of Cremtenx, Arago and Gamustta buried at ite head, copied into every paper fn the country, and read with ali the eagerness wich the frondeur spirit of the times imparts to such spicy morsels, really passes gs ension. ‘The coaviction of M. Delescluze and the otuer wefend- ants is very poor compensation for the erritic i. dictment launched against 1¢ by some of the keenest intellects and bitterest tongues atthe Paris bar. It ‘was a fearful mistake to institute this prosecution, and the consequences of it e yet to be developed. AUSTRIA. The Military Strength of Austria and the War Power of Europe. The report of the Miltary Committee, presented in the lower House of the Keichsrath on the luth, contained @ brief exposé of tie military reforms taken iu hand im 1866, The report, while pointin out that tie policy of Anstria must be oue of self constraint and séif-dentai, mainly directed towurds the preservation of peace, nevertheless considers that, taking her geographical pooition into account, she mnst have the power at her command to sucorss- fully revel every attack from without, and to suppress any vivlent disturbance of the consolida- tion of her liberal and economic development in the interior, It further gives utierance to the conviction that “the present straining of the military resources in Europe cannot possibly be of any long duration, and must either end in a general disarmament, peaceably agreed to on @& mutual understanding or result at no distant period in a violent war and consequent universal exhaustion; for no State was in a position to bear for any length of time the burdens of the present armed pose without drifting into financial and economic run.” Comparing the future organized military strength of the Austro-Hungarian mon- archy on a war footing (viz., common army 800,000 men, military frontier 63,000 men, landwehr (imtlitia) in the two halves of the empire, 210,000 men—total, 1,053,000 men), with the military strength of the other great con- tinental States—namely, the North German Confed- eraton, commanding an army of 1,023,946 men (stand ng army 843, ‘94 men, landwehr 136,552 and including South Germany, with 210.171 men More (standing army 156,760 men, landwehbr 43,411 men), or grand total, 1,22",117 men. France:—Army 800,000 men, National Guard Mobile 550,900 men— total, 1,350,000 men. Russia—Field army, incind- ing that of the Caucasus, 827,350 men, local troo} 410,427 men, irregulars 229,223 ~men—togethér 1,467,009 men, Lastly, }taly—Standing army, 343,461 men; National Guard Mobile, exciusive of Venetia, 182,000 men—total, 430,461 men, The committee is of op nion that the figure given in the Army bil for the strength of the Austro-Hungarian army in time of war does not go beyond the limit required for the security of the State and tie maintenance of its power and dignity. ‘The commitiee finally deciares that the acceptance of the proposed®Army bill by the Levistature of the two divisions of the monarchy will prove to Europe “that both parts of the empire are resolved to stand together in the hour of danger, and that Austria's power has increased. The decided expression of this resolution by the representatives of the people would form an important factor for the preservation of the peace of Lurope, which would eventually accelerate the much desired event of & general disarming,’ The Spanish Revolation. {From the London Globe, Nov. be ‘The crisis in Spain has yet to come; and it may be long before the real wishes of the nat.on come io the surface and decide the issue, At present there is an interregnum; what is more, that interregnum is only in its first atage; and to any one who looks at the case impartially the aspect of aitairs is really grave, And the first form of the dificuity, Auags {pp seed ous, almost total, suspension of industrial enter .

The wuole population is agitated, and widespread distress begins to be experienced, Maddened by the distress and carried away by the new theories and d Ke 2p which ever A irday ee in the wake of a great revolution, the peasantry er provinces already imagine and expect—nay, they demand—that there shall oe a con- fiscation of the estates and property of the wealthy classes, In some places, jndeed—as at Teba, tb rd to the landed property of the Fiopress of the ‘rench—the peasantry and “‘people’t have already attempted by force to make this cOnfiscation and to divide among themselves the spoil. Even at Madrid, under the eyes of the goverument—if as yet it can justly claim that -title—the party of Communists, or Soclatista, are vehemently expounding their fatal doctrines and strive to excite the populace in sup- port of their views. While such 13 the unsettled state of things throughout the country, discord reigns among the chiefs of the revoiution, Each is jealous of the others. And from a dread of losing his popularly. not one of the leaders ventures to name and vocate an occupant (at present there are no candi- dates) for the vacant throne. Itis alleged tiat Gen- eral Prim, unquestionably the foremosc of the re- vyolutionary chiefs, secretly aspires to tie throne nimself; although suca a project on his part (if 11 be really entertained) is hopeless, alixe from the naturai jealousy of the other chieis and irom the fact tat there is no great party in we Dation that would sup- port him. As an conseqtence of this state of affairs Tepublicanism gains grouad. The advocates for tie abolition of royalty and the establisumeat of a republic grow voider every day. Yet this is simply the consequence of the present deadlock of affa.rs. Every one who knows Spain knows that of all the bie solutions of the present crisis the establishment of a republic 18 the most iunpessible. We do not venture to say that a republic may not be tried; for in revolutions the “party of acusu,” the violent and extreme men, at the outset frequently gain an ascendancy to which they have no real claim, and which is over- thrown as soon as the national sentimen:s, the de- sires and wiil of the people at large come tuto play. but when that event comes, as come it will, the voice of Spain will be given overpoweringly against @ repuolic. But, if net a republic, who is Lo be kmgy When a nation makes a dynastic revolution there are two grand points to be atiended to in the choice of a successor to the throne.

The Charter Election—The Contest for the Mayoralty and Corporation Counsel—The Vacancy in the Office of District Attorney and in the Supreme Court—The Applicauts for Appointment—The Aldermanic Contest The Candidates for School Commissioners and Trustees. ‘The charter election, which comes off on Tuesday next, has had considerable additional interest and excitement given to it from the fact that ihe Mayor- alty is vacant and the people are called upon to elect a Cluef Magistrate for one year-—-the unexpired term of the retiring incumbent, THE MAYORALTY. The contest in this regard, however, will be tame in comparison with the Mayoralty contests of past years. The Tammany chiefs in the late election struggiea have so perfectly and thoroughly disciplined their vast forces, and have them under such obedience and contro! through the host of ofice-seekers and subalterns in the pay of the chiefs that to contest a city office of such high trust and power av that of Mayor may be deemed an entirely futile aifair. The efforts made by the Demo- cratic Union party to nominate a citizen from the democratic ranks that could command any consid- erable amount of democratic votes and at the same time be acceptable to the republican party having ended in failure, that organization may from hence- forth be deemed defunct as to any claim its present leaders may put forth for consideration as a political power tn the city, There is but one democ- racy and Tammany ts its prophet, The re- publican party, that they might not be charged With surrendering the municipa power of the city into the hands of their formidable opponents with- out a struggie, have nominated a candidate for Mayor. Whether they mgnt not have chosen better were tho chances of success better ts hardly worth commenting on, Any man was good enough to be put ia the ring to be knocked down, and certainly its victim in this case has taken upon himself the sacrificial fate with commendable coolness and pluck. * Tammany selected its standard bearer from the highest order of sachems that minister in the Temple of the Saint-one who akwvays stood nearest to the high priest thereof, and to which high dignity he is about to be trans- lated. At any time the present cardidate of Tammany would be a formidable opponent, and under him his brother Sachems might enter the lists against much greater forces than can be oars to © Diront them at this juncture. ‘The party, there fore, acted wisely in nominating Oakey Hall as their standard bearer at thts tim ure results, as near as anytiing in the future upon, have been welghed and hav dq ope ‘4, $ ce Of the flirty for Watt: all?
