MADRID, May 26, 1869. Your correspondent cannot do better than by pre- facing this letter with a text, concise and striking, which is extracted from the reply of Admiral Topete ® the magnificent speech of Sefor Castelar, because this very original text, though it come not from the month of a babe and suckling, nor from a fool, re- veals things that would shun daylight, and endorses What your correspondent, time and time again, has stated in his letters, The text is as follows:—“But to-day the Sefor Castelar, with his grand eloquence and his inimita- bie style of oratory, has told us that it is not possible for this Chamber either to prociatm a republic or to proclaim a monarchy. Well, then, why was the revolution made? This bas not oniy been said by the Sefior Castelar, but Wkewise by the Diogenes of the republican party, the Sefior Pi y Margall, who told us last night that no Chamber can form a republic, and the Sefior Sanchez Ruano (republican) tells us that our king shall be »rought hither by but one Chamber. But, sefiors, take much care with what yousay, Ifthis Chamber may not proclaim a king, neither a regency, take care, much care, that you do Rotinvite the genius of some insolent, bold, ambi- tions man ‘to proclaim what shall be done.” ‘This remarkable and most important paragraph ‘Was omitted by each one of the fifty and ten daily journals published in Madrid. Tne Diario de los Sesstones, which is but the record of the Cortes, ts the only paper that has it, from which it must be concluded that the other journals purposely omitted it, Each time that Admiral Topete speaks the frank- and bluntess of the sailer exhibit and relieve etree ct whatever secret thoughts may have been conjured in his poor bra. “That insolent, bold, ambitious man” would have given a good deal, there No doubt, rad those words been left unsaid, but was absent, purposely abzent, because he knew Oastelar intended to twit him sbarply upon some Teports afloat concerning him and his tntentions. ‘The ‘insolent, bold, ambitious man” did not re-enter the Chamber until Castelar nad ceased his oration gnd Topete had concluded his reply. This insolent, bold, ambitious man {s no other than Don Juan Prim, Bituister of War, proposed President of the Councll of Ministers, the third Cromwell, and would-be Dic- fator of Spain. One may well imagine how General Prim received this declaration of Admiral Topete. it Was no secret tothe Cortes who was meant by Topete, nor can it be secret to General Prim, though he may seem net to understand the ifsinuations, and may yet, to no purpose, however, Teiterate his innocence of ambitious thoughts and protest over and over again his entire abnegation. But the Cortes, knowing well the style which this adventurous descendant of the great Guzman keeps, and holding well in rememorance the vague threats and masterly hints coupled with his protracted silence upon the monarchical question, bis general taciturnity,. his affected siatelinezs of mauner, appre- ¢late his protestations as such should be. But can it be possible that tus announcement by Admiral Topeteis what has impelled the Cortes to legislate With such railway speed upon the laws which are to govern the land for the future? It is just possible. Thirty-seven articles of the constitu- tion were voted the very next day without even one Amendment, without even one set speech, and al- Most without intercalstions or interpellations of any kind from any of the most speech-loving mem- bers among the Spanish Cortes. The quotations of the Bolsa could mot amect either the stately Castilian hidalgoes or the fiery Catalonians, be they Guzmans or Medina-Stdonias of binest plood. The opinions of English or American journals upon the condition of Spain or Cuba affected them not, vut Topete’s biuntness produced aspur which seems to have awakenea them to sharp action. Since Friday last seventy- five articles have been voted. Last night at mid- night they left off at article 109, which leaves but more to be voted to make the constitution com ete. sb The decision of the Cortes respecting the form of the Spanish government has driven the republicans of Catalonia, Arragon, Valencia and the Bale: Isles to send committees to the city of Tort by a piace of some 16,000 inhabitants in the province of Tarragona, near the mouth of the river Ebro. ‘The united committees framed a compact which is mow known under the name of the “Pact of Tor- sa."” Some of the paragraphs of the articles read 103 :— MING and solidifying the labors of the revolution ; tion of the couriry from perfidious machinations the declarations of our evem! f patriotism what our con- to derend our country from polation and oy ge wi yubulcan people of Arri Rearle Isles, animated byt Qatalonis, Valencia and the eat resolution to raise our voices agi reaction, have drawn up the follow! ment entered into 4 confederated mittees al VOSA, which we present to the Spauish republicans for- thelr most thought/ui consideration Firt—The cttizens of sembled, by whom the three 4 Vall d presented, are con: he republicans to whom the will be referred. form of governs jocratic federal pu wing taanner into lo and of States Cataloals, Valencia and | Arrago’ jes will be included with ‘those of Catalonia.

Exciting Debate in the Reichstag=Collision Between the Prussian Treasury and tho Bund—Baren Von Der Heydt Baited—Strong Speeches from Bismarck and the Opposi- tion—A Threat of Resignation—Clashing of Swords—A Governmeut Defeat—No Supplies Tareenny, BERLIN, May 24, 1869. Friday and Saturday were devoted by the Reich- stag to the discussion of the often mentioned internal revenue or tax bills whicn the North German gov- ernment proposes with the view of relieving the Prussian fiuances. A memorial has been addressed for this purpose by the Prussian Minister of Finance, Baron von der Heydt, to the Bund Chancellor, who jaid it before the Reichstag. Jt begins with the ad- misston of @ deficit existing for the last two years in the Prussian Treasury and shows its inevitable ana rapid increase for the present and next year. To re- medy this unlucky state of things and enable Prussia to pay its allotment to the Confederate government the Reichstag ts asked to vote a variety of taxes to be levied directly for the Confederation, whereby Prussia’s budget would be greatly eased in lessening the apportionment, These duties are on alcohol, beer, a8, petroleum, sugar, a stamp duty on commercial transactions and on receipts, and ten por cent on railway tres, If the North German Reichstag would take no action for the purpose of relieving the Prussian Treasury tt would force the government of that State to have recourse to measures highly oppressive and injurious to the country. The memorial further states that Prussia could not increase her indirect taxation, and tbat in order to cover the deficit her direct taxes would require an augmentation of fifty per cent, which would weigh altogether too heavily on the poor classes, The only way to avoid down- right calamity isthe granting of more revenue to the Bund government; otherwise the Prussian ad- ministration would have to strike out in its état the most useful and necessary expenditures and incur the danger of not fulfilling its past obligations. It was, of course, this drastic document which furnished arguments for the debate to both parties, the one being the Bund Chancellor and the ultra conservatives—among these Baron von der Heydt (who stts in the Reichstag as a representative only), and the other the free conservatives, national lib- erals, fortschritt, and all other parties, One of the Bund government officials introduced the bill by a lengthy exposé of its necessity, its beauties and the facility of levying the proposed taxes. The first Speaker of the opposition—a moderate national lib- eral—admitted that the deficit of Prussia was a con- sequence of the events of 1866, but did not consider abatch of indirect duties as the proper remedy, hor wonld he vote any revenue unless Prus- sia’3 financial department would be joined to tnat of the Confederation, thereby ‘depriving Baron von ag Heydt of the opportunity of charging. ail €xisting diMeulties to the Bund, Count Bismarck’s system, based upon his propria persona, forces the deepest resignation upon the Prussian Minister of Finance, ‘this will be fully acknow.edged on the day when history notes down Birmarck’s retirement from oitice. We have will- ingly voted tum the entire budget, but cannot con- seut to new taxes. The work demanded from us in the Reichstag belongs, indeed, to the Prussian Diet, and as to the menaces contained in the memorial, they do not here requtre any criticism. Count BIsMaxck, rising in reply, sald that the suspension of expenditures spoken of ia the Prus- sian memorial was merely a notification that if money, Was refused them they could not spend any aud should not be construed ‘rae nothing was done without his consent. ri!) It was superfuous to hint at the high degree of modesty and patriotism reached by Baron von der Heydt in his position towards the Bund Chancellor, for indeed, it was he wao, with due modesty, received his instructions from the Prussian Munisier of Finance.

There is Cad indication that the proposed new sea- son of English opera tn this city will prove a success, Mme, Rosa, however, should not limit her season at the Taéatre Frangais to three weeks. Three months would be more reasonable.

ALicg MuRBRAY. A tale. By Mary J. New York: P. O'Shea, publisher, 1869, ‘We suppose that so long as Christianity exists so long will romancers write semi-religious novels for the amusement and edification of that very large class that will mot read any tale of fiction unless it contains the inevitable moral and winds up in o thoroughly orthodox style. Such being the case, we feel certain that “Alice Murray” will prove of de- elded interest to the reader. The book 13 really very well written, the characters are not badly drawn, aud, altogether, the work throughout is worthy the pernaat of those who eschew sensational novels and lelight in purely domestic stories.

The book is wretchedly printed on miserable paper and is rather poorly bound, Still, the subject on which it treats is worth reading. The contents of the volume com- Eo the weight of the earth, velocity, nutrition, ight and distance, the wonders of astronomy, me- teorology and the food proper for men. Everything is written in a pleasant, interesting style. MISCELLANEOUS.

Probably the best feature in this magazine is the book criti- eisms, which are always impartial in their judgment and ever entertaining and pleasant to read. Now that the Pacific Railroad is completed, we would re- commend to the publishers the policy of making the magazine legs local and more national than it has hitherto been.

To THE Epiror oF THE HERALD:— In the rapid growth of cities the means of quick and uninterrupted locomotion, although of vital im- portance to the community, seldom meet with the attention deserved, until the © inconvenience becomes so glaring that a change is forced oy actual necessity. Not very long since @ few lumbering stages were sufficient to transport the compar- atively small number of travellers from one part of the city to another. Now how many stages would be required? Certainly more than our streets could accommodate. In time the necessity came, and forthwith street railways aad cars made their ap- pearance. Now the necessity has come again, and the cars, even with the most skilful management, are quite inadequate to convey our moving popula- tion from one point to another.

The New Tariff—Operations in Paraguay~No ‘Tidings of General McMahon—Coffeo and Cotten’ Crope—Amazonian Navigatiou— Rio Janerno, April 24, 1869. On the 1st of July Brazil comes in for the delights of war in the shape of extra taxation by increased and extended stamp duties, legacy duties and the heavy taxes on trades and professions, agriculture alone being to some extent exempted from their burden. By the new tariff, which comes into force upon the same day, about ten per cent duty has been added to silks, porcelain, cut glass, tobacco, carved wood work and articles of luxury. The only im- portant reduction nas been on kerosene, which will pay 120 reis the kilogramme instead of 100 reis the pound, being a reduction of about twenty-one cents the galion. The duties will be levied according to the weights and measures of the French metrical system, which system was intended to be enforced all through the empire in 1870, but will not, it is Probable, be carried into effect so soon. . ‘The last news from Paraguay is that the Brazilian troops had moved from Asuncion, leaving only about 2,000 men there to garrison it. About 2,000 men had been landed at Rosario, some ninety miles to the north of Asuncion, with the view of drawing sup- Plies of cattle from it and of isolating Lopez from the northwest part of Paraguay. The two army corps into which the rest of the army is divided were at Luque, and the plan reported was for one corps to marco by the railroad, wile the other, goli more to the south, would take the road through Vil- leta and try to flank. Lopez, as before stated, is at Ascurra, beyond the town of Paraguari, where he is said to have @ formidable position. As for the Ar- gentines, they are said to be sulky and Ade or, Band enter upon any more campaigning. This feeling, private letters say, 1s largely prevalent in the Bra- wilian army, and it 18 asserted that sixty Brazilian Officers objected to march. ‘Want of means of transport ia the fret difficulty. ‘The destruction of horsefesh must enormous in South American armies; for large numbers of horses are still wanting for the cavalry, and {t 1s sald no cqnsiderabie expedition can be undertaken till they are got.

The War in Paraguay—Visit of the Count WEu—Lopez and His Sacrifices—Public Ime Provements—Great River Changes—Peaco on the River Plate. BUENOS Ayres, 8 A., April 12, 1869. There has been published here just now a letter written tothe Argentine Minister in Pans by the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs, giving an account of the batties of December last, and stating that the Paraguayan war was ended. Just as this appears we learn the news that Lopez has been able to collect an army of from 7,000 to 10,000 men, and that he has entrenchments, guns and ammunition. And of so much importance 1s it to dislodge him that all the organization of the allied army continues, and 20,000 men are to march into the interlor to seek the enemy and to give battie where they may find him. This expedition is costing an immense sum of money and goes not without aanger. The Count d’Eu, son-in-law of the Emperor of Brazil, has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Brazilian forces, and passed through this city a few days ago, en route for the seat of war. He is young, ambitious, observing, and gained some ex- lence in practicat war under General O'Donnell in Morocco, and on the staff of General Sherman in the war of tho rebellion. For these four years he has been at Rio Janeiro, where he knew well the optnions of the court and lature concerning tho war, and he will probably carry out @ programme acceptable to the government of Brazil. There was found in the Custom House here a short time ago a very elegant set of furniture, made in France, intended for the new palace of President Lopez, at Asuncion. It was seized as the property of the enemy, and sold by order of the Argentine fede mae There was one sofa, four arm chairs, welve drawing room chairs, six chargé d’affairo chairs, &c. A great concourse witnessed the auc- tion, which was spirited, and the articles brought high prices. They were bought for a room in the vernment buildings, and were first used by Count Eu, “oa his recent mn his way to measure arms Of the exact location of Lopez little is really known. He is known to be between Cerro Leon and , at @ pass called Ascura, and, sheltered e spurs of the Cordillerns, he has establish- wader mills and cannon foundries, and the number of his men 18 constantly increasing. Many very necessary articles are wanting to him, and even provisions of the scanty amount needed by a native are very scarce. But he infuses his own stub- born spirit into his peopl and so much of the Indian trait remains in him and them that he has his spies always among the allies, and their movements and plans are conveyed to him with great regularity. wn oof fy Pama [Med the a tae be! on ‘araguay since the beginning ot this war as followa:— i 74,600 19,000 began, 1865, with, under arms.

JAMAICA. A Flutter Caused by the Herald=The Gove ernor’s Report—Progress of tho Island—In- teroceanic Tolegraph. Krnaston, May 25, 1869, The Haideo, from Philadelphia, has arrivea with copies of the HmraLp dated May 3, in which my despatch of tne 9th April appeared relative to the sale of damaged goods in Jamaica for the benefit of the underwriters and others concerned, every word of which is true, and nas been endorsed by every honest and respectable merchant on the island. So far the HERALD has done ap immense service to the underwriters and the honest traders on this island, for it has brought prominently before the public facts which it has been, and still is, the interest of @ few others to conceal. What a hubbub this letter in the HeRap hag created in certain mercantile circles in Kingston no language can describe, and a flutter, too, among certain of the auctioneers. Now if underwriters in the States will only look a little more ciosely into the surrounding circumstances of the sales of dam- aged goods in Jamaica they will not only save them- selves much money, but also promote and encourage honest trading, Where such has become aificult, and be satisfied in course of time that the HERALD has purified trade and protected American capital. ‘The Governor's report on the Jamaica Blue Book Of last year has just been published, and it certainly gives encouraging indications of returning pros- Pperity in the isiand.
