A Review ef Count Bismarck’s Polley. | « The Paris France, of the 12th, under the heading of “Les Fonds Secrets de M. de Bismarck,” has a very severe atiack on that statesman's policy, par- Ucularly tn what relates to the late measures against the King of Hanover and the Elector of Hesse, After some prelummary observations the writer says:— ~2 : Count de Bismarck, we well know, aec'ared, will never make him give way, proverb says that (he horse must be a very good. one that never stumbies, and the apotherm is just. Twice witain a few weeks the poverty stalesnian who wields the dosentos. of the Praagian monarehy has made a false step, in consequapee of lis habit of looking at right only aga sort of Thread. to be suapped at pleasure by, the pressure of force. He tripped in his recent campaign ‘Austria, having been otiiged to beaba retreat in, of the frm demeanor of Count Leust; aod he has just stumbied again ig-the aifair of the puoperty, of the Kmg of Hanover and) the Elector of Hesse, For surely it is @ check for @ man in Count Bistnarck’s high posiaon to be reduced to hold the languase which he has recentiy employed. The spectacie is Indeed distyessing, We now find him proclaiming right to be a mere thread, as if it were not our best leading string to guide us through his labyrin‘a of violenee and injustice, These Maxims of & bygone epoch, these irritating expres- sions are the jess qielligible, that nothing, abso- intely norhing, at the present day seriously menaces Pruasia in the possession of the advantages which she has acquired. What cau the resisiance of a Kimg of Hanover or of an. Elector of Hesse against Prussian omnipotence in the confederation of the North? Count de Bismarck chafes because these printes have the bad grace net to accept with readiness the situation created for them, But who was the aggressor? From which guarter came the spoliation Whether do we find Count de Bis- marek defenaing bis property against the King of Hanover or the latter clatming what is his own from Count de Bismarck? ‘he King and the Elector have done novhing to deserve their fate, There wasa federa! law, and they merely ‘ollowed it. Count de hbiamarck punisies tiem because they wouid not join in his revolt against institutions which he as Well as they had sworn to deiend, but which he las overtarown, Let us go a step farther. What 1s the reproach which the Coans casts on those princes whose property he sequestrates? That of fomenting, by subsidies, the agitation against Prus- sia, We very much fear that M. de Bismarck lilm- self, by the course he takes, exposes hunself to a lar saiion. This 8 she most delicate point ir, and perhaps sullicient atiention has not been given toitat Berlin, By the terms of te law, voled by the Prussian Chamber, certain sums are to be levied on the proceeds of the sequestered property:—tirsty to administer tue same, and sec- ond, to Keep watch over the intrigues of tie dis- crowned princes, What 1s Ure effect of this meas- ure? To place in the hands of the Prussian govern- ment a fund which tt can employ a¢ it pleases, with- out rendering an account to any one, Suppose, for example, that Couut Bismarck should inseribe 50,000 franes, or perhaps a million, for the expense of supervising Guelph intrigues at Vienna, Pesth, Munich or Paris, who is to control the em- pignaent of taatsum? Who Will gaarantee that it a8 not been uppiica to a very dilicrent ? And after ali tus, why should not others, knowing the suspicious and distrustful nature of the Prussian Minister. pay bom back 1n hig own com and accuse him of su: sidizing the Hungarian opposition, the press of Souta Germany, or, ae even the jour- nals of Paris? Might he not in this way be le re- sponsible for ali tie troubies and agitations that may turn out to tue advantage of Prussia? die France takes care to declare that it does not hold the Prussian government responsible for the language lately used by the orth German Gaze'te. Neveriteless, as that journal ls supposed to receive confidential ‘communications from Count de Bis- marck, the declaration in question must not, per- haps, be takea Inan absolute sense, There are, as 18 well Known, two sorts of responaibility—the direcy and the indirect—-aud persons, even when treed by ublic opinion from the former, lave oiten Leen oat to remain open to the charge of the latter. AUSTRIA. Conspiracy to Assassinate Count Excuse for Austrian The Alleged Bismarck—Plausible Official Intervention. : The Algemeine Correspondenz of Vienna of the 9th contains the following:—Referring to the late pro- jeoted attempt against Count Bismarck, it is reporied in political circles here that the police were informed that a man of doubtful character lad on several in- stances declared his tntention to rid the world of that reptile—the Count Bismarck—by his own hand.

The Relations Existiog Between France and Italy. The Intest fact known for certain about the Fran- co-Itatian reiations 1s titis:—While the Conference Was sitll sitting the French Pi tary at Rome informed both Cardinal Antonelit and the Pope that if & war were to break ont mthe East it would probably extend to the West, and necessi- tate the despatch of French reinforcements to Civita Vecchia, In such a case, the Plentpotentlary add France would be naturally anxious to coerce Itaiy, both for her own sake the ene, As this object could not be aitainea by a small force, three divisions were kept in readiness to be emoarked at Marseiiles; to all of whicu the Roman Powers nodded a grate- ful assent. Supposing King Victor to be realiy bar- gaining at moment with the sovereign that gzve him Lombardy azatnst tne sovereign that gave him Venice, the most chart construction to put on his conduct would be to pose lilm to have been intimidated by these French doings at Rome. However tals mi be, we shall probably soon know more about this alleged revelation, and also whether the design invoived in it, if it exist, is at aii connected with the late prions oa Franco-linssian alliance, or, on the contrary, has been concetved on the relinquishment of the other plan.

It continues:—“Cespetos and Aguilera, with the but of the rebels, have fallea back on the Jurisdiction of Holguin, establishing themselves on the extensive haciendas between Nuc- vitas and Gibara. They have done this to avoid the columna Of Valmaseda, to keep in communication with the rebels of Camaguey and to take advantage of the extensive plantations and stock farms of the vicinity, the country which for the past five’ months has been occupied by them being quito exhausted of meat and vegetables. it then recapitulates the information of late received as follows:—According to @ letter received from Santa Craz, the eo-called General Modesto Diaz, ® Mextean, and three more chiefs, had been shot. We learn from the same source pf the. pre- seutation to the authorities.of NapoleBn Arango, We caunot vouch for the truth of either statement. However, tt woutd appear that the so-called Gencral Quesada is the only one who regards Cespedes as the Dictator Generalisimo, all the others consider- ing themselves fully entitled to act on their own ac- count.’ ‘The policy of the government, in its treatmont of the tnsurreciion im the Eastern Department, would seem to have changed. Hyidently weary of follow- ing the insurgents from one point to auother to the great injury of the heaithand morale of the troops, it would seem to have determined to occupy all promineas strategio points and allow the m- surgenis to wear themselves out. However ‘nu u may be protracted the contest by this course, tt as the omy one practicable, as Spanish troops cannot operate in this climate during the warm season, now fast approaching. Tbe papers here announce that all military operations in Santiago de Cuba, Manzanillo and Bayamo have been suspended in accordance with superior, or- ders. Valmaseda haa divided his forces, sending some to the former place, others to Jignant, whiea has been admirably fortith and = retaining others with himself at Sayamo, fio, Who has been often mes reported dead, had marched with a column to Manzanillo, bringing @ number of ran- somed prisouers, the insurgeuts seewingly having adopted ransom of captured Spaniards as a means of recuperating their exhausted exchequer.

Important Decision by the Supreme Court The Chatham Rallrond Appropriation Doe clared Unconstitutional—Millions Affected by the Decision—Excitement Among Railroad Men and Stock Operators, RALETON, Feb. 22, 1999, At last the Supreme Court has rendered its de- cision in the long-mooted .Chatham Rallroad in- junction case. It wiil be remenabered that $2,000,000 were appropriated by the State in ald of thig road, and that bonds were issued and thrown upon tne market, selling readily at 62 a 63%, until an in- junction was granied by Judge Watts at the instance of a rival corporation. By mutual agreement of counsel, which were the most eminent in the State, the case was at once brought before the Supreme Court, whyga tribunal reserved its decision until the present, ich regretis expressed that {t was not rendered earlier, agit might have saved the State untold expense in preventing a great deal of simuar legisiation. A number of otner appropriations are in the same category as that of the Chatham Rati road, amounting to over $12,00,000, Ratiroad men and stock job operators here are intensely excited by the adverse decision; au@ as the entire raliroad appropriations will now have to be submitted to 9 vote of the people the greatest uneasiness13 felt by interested parties. The following is the decision of Chief Justice Pearson and Justice Rodmun, Judge Dick concurring:— “ By an act of August, 1888, the General ‘Assembly enacted a ‘SECTION 1.
