4 “EUROPE. THE OUTBREAK IN CADIZ. Ts London Workingmen and Reverdy Johnson. COLLIERY RIOTS IN WALES. The Inman steamship City of Baltimore, Captain Leitch, from Liverpool the 16th, via Queenstown the 17th, arrived at this port yesterday, bringing details of telegrams up to date of sailing. Orders were received at Sonderburg on the 15th from the Prussian government for the permanent completion of the fortifications of Sonderburg and Duppel. The Pall Ma'l Gaze feof the 16th says that besides Ajano and Luzzi, who have been condemned to death, five of their accomplices have been sectencea tothe galleys for life, and others to the galleys for various terns. The London Times of the 16th, while admitting the hardships to which Protestant missionaries in China have been subjected, deprecates rushing into a war with that country, The English papers contain the information that the recent cyclone im the Bay of Bengal has de- stroyed many buildings at Akayab and every ship in the harbor, The Russian army is but indifferently prepared for a war with Europe. Although extensive ex- periments are being made in respect to artillery the infantry are badly armed. Only a portion of the Imperial Guard has rifled breech-loaders. Notwithstanding the glorious prospects of the Minister of Finance of Italy a decree has been is- sued to the National Bank of Italy and the banks of Sicily and Naples authorizing the issue of one franc notes to the extent of 10,000,000 francs, and the cur- culation is made compulsory. In order to assist the sufferers by the late eruption of Vesuvius it is proposed to quarry the lava and sell the blocks for paving stones. ‘Two Boards of Guardians—Kiikenny and Clon- mel—(says an Irish paper) have been discussing the propriety of petitioning Parliament to allocate the Irish Churchjrevenues to the support of the poor. Kilkenny agreed. Clogme! is to consider the matter on a future occasion, The London papers of the i6th say:—We are in- formed, on good authority, that the police will not in future grant licenses for the assemblage of a number of loose people to attend what is called a masquerade. The neighborhood of the Alhambra ‘was last night in a complete uproar for several hours owing to one of these balls having taken place there, Ale‘ter from Rome says that Francis Il. of Na- ples has been laid up for the last fortnight witha fever, which occasions serious uneasiness 1n the Farnese Palace; nobody but the Queen, the King’s physician and an old servant being admitted to the sick chamber. The exact nature of the malady 18 not known, but is supposed to be of a typhoid cha- racter. The Budget of the city of Brussels for the year 1869 contains a credit of eight millions of francs, under the head of extraordinary expenditures, for the works of theriver Senne. The cost of the undertak- ing is not easy to estimate; but a large expenditure must be expected, as in the portion which passes through the capital considerabie expropriations wiil be necessary. It is reported that the Bey and the Emperor of Morocco have written to the Viceroy of Egypt, re- proaching him severely for the change he has made in the order of succession—contrary, as they allege, to the plain Mussulman law. Though they are much older sovereign Princes than the Khidiv they have never dared to modify a rule which they de- clare to be fixed and settled by the fundamental ‘Sheriat. ‘The coroner's inquiry into the fatal colliery explo- sion near Wigan was brought to a close on the 15th, the jury returning a verdict that the sixty-two de- ceased had been killed by an explosion the cause of Which was unknown. As some of the evidence rather favored the idea that the firing of a charge of blasting powder had ignited the fire-damp, the jury recommended that the use of blasting powder should be discontinued. The Oftcial Journal of Dresden of the 14th pub- lushes the followin, The Greek government has sent a reply to the Ottoman ultimatum. It has effected the dispersion ol the bands complained of aud mterdicted all ireek officers and ny ph iso permitied coun SPAIN. Influence of the United Stat DespatchesThe Republican Outbreak Cadiz—The American Flag in the Robbery and Puuiskment, Capiz, Dec, 10, 1968. The principal feature of the insurrection here ts that all Wie insurgents claim to be republicans, they profess the utmost sympathy with the United States of America, and that they submit with the at most heartiness to any suggestions from the Ameri- can Consul, Capiain Farrell, who hae been the tate nai master of the aud m Whoi all parties placed the utmost This feature will ap- pear very prominently in,the details of mente. .

[These despatches have not yet reached us, (he messengera having been stopped, probably, by insurrectiongry guerillas.—Ep. Hre- ALD.) By the Gibraltar poute I hope to get this letter through. But Cadiz &% in a state of war, and all who attempt to pass im or out encounter bands of insur- gents and are turned back, but are never robbed or ill treated. Several Madrid papers have been smuggied through the lines, Their accounts are all false. As Ihave described to you in former letters, the govern- ment troops were badiy beaten by the republican forces. The government first showed the white feather and offered conditions, which the in- surgents would not have considered had not the foreign consuls interfered to prevent further bloodshed, These conditions are that the republi- cans give up their arms aud that all the reinforce- ments of government troops be sent away frop Cadiz, The republicans have agreed to these terms, which have been sent on to Madrid for approval. We are now awaiting eply, which will doubtless be in the affirmative, dd the insurgents will then surrender their arms to the United States Consul. All the consuls have signed the official copy of the conditions as witnesses, aud have agreed to re- muin in Cadiz Until the decision of the government ws announced: In fact, the Insurgents would not allow them to leave, fearing that the city would be at once bombarded by the ships-of-war in the harbor if the consuls retired. No United States vessel is here, but the Swatara 1s expected. Every ship in the bay—mostly Danish and Italian—is filled with peopic, Thousands are fieving acroas the bay. Thirty thousand citizens have managed to escaye, by one Means and anotner, but the insurgenjs now declare tlat no more shail jeave except by Water. Four government iron-clads grimly guard the bay. Every principal street in Cadiz t# barricaded. Five hundred and sixty barricades are finished or tn esa of erection, and they are all composed of juare blocks of stone and are yery formidable. Thore are 300 wounded of both factions in the City Hospital, and 100 wounded soldiers in the Custom House. This shows that the fighting in the streets has been no child's piay, The fronts of the houses are riddied with bul lets, and the marks of cannon baila have pitted the City Hall as with an architectural smallpox. The City liali is the.-headquagers of the insurgents, and was determinedly attacked, but in vain, The fusurgents drove the troops back’ to the Custoin House at the point of the bayonet, with heavy loss. ‘The insurgents are confident and caim.

The insurgent leaders walk freely in and out of the Consulate, since they hold all that section-of the city, The goverument troops have broken into several deserted houses and are said to have stolen consid- erable property. Only one insurgent has been de- tected in a similar crn, and he Was shot at once. ‘The following placard is posted over the city:— woes. rennee. LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC! TO ALL TRAITORS | anne, aconnenees: It is rumored that if the worst comes the sailors of the fleet will not fire upon the people; but that is nonsense, If the insurgents do not obtain terms from the government the city will be bombarded be- fore the 2 inst., but I still hope that peace will be restored, All parties that the American Con- Sul alone stopped the iting, and as he is actively by} interceding with the leaders on both sides, telegraph- ing to Madrid and encouraging all who come to him With hopeful assurances, no one yet despairs. Cap- tain Farrell is one of Grant's old officers, and he mounted the barricades here on the day of the fight- ing, in full uniform, with the Stars and Seripes. in his hand, and silenced every insurgent musket by shouting to them not to fire on that fag. The Span- lards almost idolize him, and the insurgents declare that if the city be bombarded they will hoist the American ensign and ask admission into the Union. ‘These wild speeches are very characteristic of the Spanish, but they prove that this republican feeling is hearty. The insurgents are constantly shouting “Long live the republic of North America! Long live the republic of Spain 1” ENGLAND, The Correspondence Between the London Workingmen and Reverdy Johnson in Re-« lution to the Proposed Banquet. 'Thé following is the communication addressed by the workingmen of London to the American Minister dn relation to the proposed banquet. To his Excellency the Hon, REVERDY JOHNSON, &¢.:— Sin—\With extreme regret and a fuli knowledge of the unworthy return we are making for your kind- ness in accepting an invitation to dine with certain London workmen, we are compe:led to ask you to release the committee from its engagements. We feel that where any division of opinion exists among persons Cngaged tn such a work as the com- mittee has undertaken there is some danger of that which was intended for a compliment becoming an insult instead. Unfortunately, such a division has arisen among those who were before unanimous in the desire to do honor to your countrymen, through you, and to con- gratulate you personally upon the successful manner in which you were conducting a dificult negotiation. Certain aiiegations which have lately been made as to the hostility of the maj oy of American towards yourself, and their disapproval of your acts have had a disquieting effect upon some members of our com- mittee, and, after much discussion, it has been thought wise to avoid all possibuity of giving further offence either to you, to whom these discussions must be annoying, or to any others, by asking your permission to withdraw the Invitation. 1 ain, sir, on behalf of the deputation you so kindly received yesterday, your obedient servant, ROBERS CONIGSBY, No. 27 RIVERHALL STREET, S.

If the facts were as stated I Reepeceraily, deny the rignt of any class of persous in this country, many or few, to question that I am a representative of the government and people of the United States, and I object, if possible, more decidedly that any such im- pression constitutes even the semblauce of excuse for any act of discourtesy towards me officially. For whatever estimation | may be heid in by those who have been instrumental tn compelling you, and those associated with you todo what you evidentiy consider an ungentlemanly act I should feel no con- cern personally, but only regret it on account of its authors. If they are satisfied with their course I shail continue perfectly content. ‘The allegations whic you mention as having been made in the United States in regard to myself arose from having sat at the banquet given to me in Shef- fleld with Mr. Roebuck, then @ member of Pariia- Ment and an invited guest, and for having con- sented, at his request, to be introduced to Mr. Laird, a member of the past and preseat Parliament, at a banquet given to me at Liverpool, who was also an invited guest, and for taking, when he offered it, his hand, aud because of my continuing etforts to culti- vate fiiendly feelings between the people of this country and my own. ‘That these tmputations may well be borne with by me, when [ was sent upon my present missiou for the purpose of removing gauticies, if [ should find any, and contirming friendships, will readily be be- lieved, notwithstanding a certain portion of the workingmen of Londou have thougit it proper and within their province to endeavor to indict what they designed to be a slight upon me.

Reverdy Johnsow’s Speech at the Second Annual Dinner of the French Hospital. The followings an extract from the speech of the American Minister, delivered on the occasion of the second annual dinner at the French Hospital in London on the 15th inst,:— There had been something said ag to a difculty existing in tue settlement of the difference between England aud the United States. On that question he might say that the notion of an insuperable dimcuity was purely a delusion. Though voi himself and Lord Stanley had been in é/te-d-1éle con- verse, and had not been too reticent of what had passed in their discussions, he might say that they had not told everything, and Englishmen were not yet as clever as bis own countrymen at guessing and did not know the true conditions of the ques- tion. He might say—and he hoped noone would try to lower the prices of English consols or American five-twenties—that in his relations rd Stanley and with the sucecessor of Lord Stanley, who seemed to be animated with the same spirit, there had never been anything that gave reason to suspect the most remote possibility that the friendship between the two countries was not fixed upon @ firm basis, Whatever doubts mught have been entertained in former times, there need be none now. America bad proved that she could produce good soldiers, and kngiand knew well enough that no nation in the world could excel herselfin that respect. His own mission to Lngland bad been one of peace. He bore in mind the’ text, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” and he esteemed that the man who descended to posterity as a peacemaker would descend sur- rounded by @ halo greater and more enduring than that of the great warrior. ‘To make and preserve peace was the duty of Christian ralers, The Ameri- can goverument had set an example of peace, making, and he could.only say that from tie mo- ment of hislanding upon the Englis) shores he had determined to do al; that he could do to maintain a friendly feeling between Bngiand and the United States. He had done this without losing in any way his self-respect, the dignity of his oficial sta- tion or compromising the honor of his country. Cottiers’ Strike in Wales. ‘vhe English papers of the 16th inst. say:— The colliers of the Ruabon district, numbering some thousands, having struck for an advance, tie greatest excitement prevails in the neighborhood, ‘They have met in large numbers, and the managers and uuderground managers are in the greaiest fear.

TURKEY AND GREECE, Lord Stanley’s Kustern Policy in Word and Deed. [From the Pall Mall Gazette, Dec, 15.) Echoing rumor persists in aitributing to Lord Stanley's famous Lynn speech the sudden determi. nation of the Porte to pluck up @ spirit at last and break once for all with its little tormentor Greece, ‘The existence of such a ramor 1s no great reason for believing it, but there 1s certainly some probability in it; it 18 possible that tt may contain a core of trath, for the practical meaning of Lord Stanley's words was clearly enough to show the jurks Soh Sey must no longer look to us for any help in their ditti- culties, Be that as it may, we are quite content to find the main cause of the Porte's somewhat tardy manifestation of spirit in the circumstance of a new volunteer expedition for Crete being organized, with the complicity of the Greek government at a particular time when it cannot have any posssible political result, and can only destroy the new roads and reviving cultivation in that unfor- tunate island. With this must be combine: the re- rted offensive conduct of the Greek ofticials in the land of Agiua towards the Turks who had char- tered an Austrian steamer for the transport of returning Cretan refugees. AS for Lord Stan- ley’s words, if they contained nothing worse than even an unguarded repudiation of intention of affording fat handed support to Turkey in the case of internal or quasi-internal troubles, they would have been so far a real exposition of his own very judi- cious policy; and eer would, at all events, have very much reassured this nation—always, of course, assuming him to have previously ascertained that such public repudiation would not have embar- yagsed his successor in the Foretgn Office, or his co- artners in the Anglo-French alliance at aris. AS there was a considerable out- ery raised at Paris on the receipt of Lord Stanley's speech, we presume that it was not found very acceptable there, and on that account alone we may venture to call it injudicious, That it was su- premely injudicious, as seen froin an Kastera poiut of view, we have already shown, for it wholly ig- nores the strong and valuable conservative ele- ment among the bulgarian and Armenian Chris- tans, and wantonly proclaims that henceforth any rebellion, even though artificially pianted from with- out, in Bulgarian Turkey must be the spontaneous growth of purely natural aspirations, thereby saving his own res) ponsibility, but virtually setting a pre- minm on a form of Fenianism even worse tl that which we are accustomed to in the case of Ireland, But it is not for tue purpose of again anmadvert- ing. upon this unfortunate speech that we are now referring to it; it isin order to express our regret that Lord Stanley's Kastern poliay was not allowed to speak for itself by its deeds. We are able to treat of the subject now without fear of migsinter- pretation. ‘There are no more elections or special current occasions to improve in eliher sense; Lord Staniey’s deeds have long ago served their turn for improving the conservative occasion, and his words have quite answered the purpose of showing him to be a true liberal at heart. ‘Vhat sort of thing is well got over now, and it is full time to enter into a spe- cial examination of nis Eastern policy, contrasting it, when necessary, with his own curtously unappre- clative exposition of the same. Whatever cise Lord Stanley’s policy in Turkey may be, most assuredly it is not a reversal of the old Pai- merstonian policy, nor anything like one, No re- versal of Lord Palmerston’s policy, such as support of Greece against Turkey, is possible for this coun- try, nor would even the present philhellenic ministry attempt it. Lo Stanley’s Turkish policy may be characterized in two words as one of masterly ei deren negation of that old British single-handed ascendancy which was a reality up to the peace of 1856, but # mere illusion since that period, masking a repeated succession of failures from the nation by a veil of some dexterous and some very coarse-textured diplomacy. The motive of this ascendancy was excellent; but it was always misinterpreted on the Continent, as so much mere British territorial seliishness and cupidity; so that, as a matter of fact, a cordial European co-operation in the good work of letting Turkey alone and compelling others to let Turkey alone was found impossible, and must have veen impossible from the necessity of the case. France would not endure English priority, while England would not brook French priority. Again, to the Christians of Turkey no higher political ideal was presented than that of a sort of millennial Ottoman empire, where there was to be no oppression and no disatfection and no bigotry, and also no attempt to guile the inevitable and natural aspirations of the various Christian races after increased freedom and self-goverument into a direction in harmony with ‘Turkey and consistent with its integrity, “While the English nation, bitterly disappointed at the fruitlessness of the Crimean war, grew dis- gusted with everything ‘Turkish and became more and more eepores to accord = full belief to everything anti-Turkish, not a single plea was alleged in justification of Turkish rule but the trite old argument of “integrity,” or else the un- worthy and fool’s paradtsaica! argument that thi were really not going on badiy in ‘turkey after all. No one seemed to think it worth while to pomt out that a hitherto passive Christian population was gradually assuming national consistence all over isuropean Turkey, yet abstaining from ali disaifection, minding its own business, biding its own time, and still looking to Turkey for the tulfil- ment of that ume, Perhaps no one knew it then, and it 1s a matter convenient to ignore, as the afore- said people are us likeiy as not to go by default and be stampeded into rebellion. But, at any rate, dur- jug ai these years that we have been grambling and growling at Turkey, chafing under or shirking our uksome guarantee, turning deaf ears to every word on behalf of Turkey, in natural fear of the prospect of more bloodsied and war ap- prehended to lie at the bottom of every such argu- the fact equauy remains that no Ss ever appealed io the one really wnassailab don which his cause is de- feusible—the circumstance that the most numerous and wortily of its Chrsitian races themseives look to the attainment of their own national tl key and in concert with Turkey. Meaw was let to wax sicker than ever in pubii the world over. While Bugiand was going through divers forms of diplomacy in weak ostensible sup- port of the sick man France resotutely undertook to work against Russian interests on the Russian diagnosis f his disease, and by doing so in the French ftiul way went far to convert a hypo- ticucal tuto a real illues: When Lord Stanley Fraace picking away at resiing between two spel ail events, under tue astounding dels bh that ib Was possible to create for Lerself a spe: influence in any community there which should be at once Hand anti-Russian.

Lord Stanley’s policy in the Easi, be his own inter- pretation of it what he chooses, has been admirably judicious, It has gone a long way to open the eyes of Europe to the fact ‘hat, so tar as We are concerned, there 18 no such thing as the Kast- ern question in Turkey ’roper, and thattze European Powers must undertake to work it thelt own way if they must needs have an Bastera question—a term which, as we have already said means nothing in ‘Turkey itself, but ts merely ap expression for the complex of concordaat or discordant European opiuioa, policy or mention avout inattors iu Turkey.

THE HILL MURDER. Coatinuation ef the Twitchell Trial~Two More “Strange Men” Dragged to the Sure face by the Defence=The Rebutting Evi- dence—The Case to Bo Summed Up To- morrow. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 30, 1868, The evidence for the defence in this case was closed to-day and the rebutting testimony for the Prosecution commenced, To-morrow the case will be summed up by both sides. The evidence of the wit- ness Altgelt, which is given below, created an im- mense sensation, particularly so from the fact that it was totally unexpected, as the defence had not previously intimated in any manner during the trial that they could make such a revelation as did the witness in question. At the opening of the court, for some reason or another best known to the authorities, the prisoner was brought from the ail in the prison van, guarded by deputy sheriffs, instead of in a carriage, as has heretofore been the case. The first witnesses called were Dr. Thomas, who corroborated Drs. Gross and Maury’s testimony as to the blood stains found on the prisoner's clothing; Jobn Conrad, the apothecary at the Pennsylvania Hospital, who testified that the lowest degree of the temperature on the 22d of November was thirty- seven degrees, and Jobn Wilbur, Thomas Noble, James S. Cleft, James D. Holt and James Cassidy, who testified that they had examined the frént door of Mrs. Huil’s residence and had found that the key could be turned in the lock without making any noise whatever. Willlam J, Vautler, sworn—I am employed by Mr. Chissler, District Attorney—What does the counsel intend to prove by this witness?

Corner of Eleventh and Lombard strecis, William Payne, sworn—Am a physician and have been for twenty-six years; aim a lecturer in the Med- ical College; I have hadeexperience in making mi- croscopi¢ examinations of blood stains; | made an examination of the clothes of the prisoner in the Grand Jury room last Sunday; the blood stains were smears and sprinklings; 1 have read the testimony in this case as to the bathingof Mrs. Hill’s head and the carryimg of the body irom the yard by the pris- oner; the stains could have got on the clothes from those causes; I saw no stain that could not have been made by the handling of a bloody sub- stance; experience has taught me that a a process like the bathing wouid cause blood sprink- lings; the blood corpuscies held in the water would stain whatever clothing they touched; 1 examined this coat and found on the right lappel traces of an accumulation of blood; on examining the shirt and ascertaining that there were small particles of blood on the lappel, provided thefwearer liad no vest on, that by bringing tue coat lappeis quickly to- gether that the blood might be discharged in small spots on the shirt bosom and even extend to the cuff} my idea about this was confirmed by noting a few stains on the shirt which were not pure blood stains, but were made by coming in contact with a wet substance; if this poker (poker exhibited) had been driven into the brain of the deceased part of the brain would have adhered to it; it being a rough instrument it would be espe- cially so; even smooth instruments cannot be put into the brain without being somewhat covered with it; just as wf you put a knife into cheese and draw it out, part of the cheese will adhere to the blade; the poker I examined carefully and could find no traces of its having come in con- tact with a hard substance; it certainly would have been misshapen if it had struck » human skull; blood which had been out of a body twenty minutes or half an hour might make @ stain similar to this I see on this collar; !t would have been done by blood out of the body for a week; I have experimented as to blood spots on a coat; I placed a white sheet of paper on iny shirt bosom after putting blood on the lappel of an old coat I wore, and then quickly drew the lappels together; the movement caused biood to be sprinkled in spots over the paper. By a Juror—This could have been done even if the blood had been on the coat an hour, if there was any quantity of it. ros8-examined=It does not necessarily follow that the texture of the coat would absorb the biood, pes rey, if 1t was in any considerable quantity ; ood from persons killed by blows on the head with dificulty coagulates ; death by shock retards coagu- lation and might arrest it altogether ; for'instance, if the person kiled had received a shock of vio- lence; even if the blood were partially coagulated the spots on the shirt couid have been made; very sinall particles of coagulated blood cou have made every spot on the shirt or clotues I examined; some of the spots had the appearance of undiluted blood; those spots can be easily distinguished from others on light tex- tures; the undiluted spot is not necessarily round and glossy; the spots on the right sleeve might have got tuere by the wearer of the coat dipping the cioth into the basin; if the cloth was heid outwardly from the hand the sieeve would have more stains on its outside; uf the cloth were held mmwardly the biood would stain the luner part of the sleeve more than it would tue outer part; | have no doubt that I couid detect traces of brain on an instrument a month Bikers GAtaey eh the brain; bral ° is fin, ecrned; i think the poker driven into the temporal bone without bending or breaking; the blood J used was unevaporated, and taken from asuiject dead for several weeks; 1 belong to the Philadelphia Medical University.
