“BUROPR. ENGLAND. The British Navy Department~Dilnpidated Condition of the Mistress of the Mens. Lonpon, June 18, 1869, T now commence. to fulfil tne promise J made in my last letter but one, to give you some account of the present state of the English uavy. If we take the list of the ships now in commission, without look- Ing at detaiis, aud without analyzing the strength in guns and the numbers of the crew, the nominal torce «that we have afloat 18 no doubt very Joruudable, But when we come to take ship by ship and see what each vessel 18, how it is armed, and where it is sta- tioned, the illusion that our navy is as strong as it ought to be, or the still greater Mlusion tiat we are strong enough to go to war with any maritime pa- tion, will vanish like the morning mist before the sun. To begin with the top of the list, the Aboukir, the Acorn, the Adder, the Adventurer, the Agincourt, and the Albacore are the first half-dozen on the alphabetical lat of the ships now in commission. But what are these ships and how are they maaneJl? Number one ought to have eighty-six guns and about 800 men on board her. She has twelve guns, less than 100 men and 1s the receiving ship at Jamaica, Number two is the hospital ship at Shanghae, and ordered to be sold. Number three is a paddie wheel steamer, with acouple of guns, a dozen men, and is ‘used as a sort of messenger vessel at Sheerness, at the mouth of the Yhames. Number four is a troop ship, employed in China, Number five is a magni- ficent screw, armor-plated stip, and ought to have twenty-six of the largest sized guns and 500 men on board her, instead of which she has 1ess than half of either. Number six on the list 18 a screw gunboat, carrying two guns, very siow in her movements, and stationed at Bermuda, And thus as we analyze the Jong list we find astonishingly few really effective ships fll to take, ata moment's notice, their place either in an offensive or defensive war, 1 is true that We have some maguiticent iron-clad ships. Of these the Agincourt, twenty-six guns, is one; the Bellerophon, fourteen guns, is another; the Black Prince, iorty-one guns, is a third. The Caledo- nia, thirty guns; the Defence, sixteen guns; the Hec- tor, twenty guus; the Hercules, twelve guns; the Lora Warden, twenty guns; the Minotaur, thirty- dour guns; the Northumberland, twenty-six guns; the Ocean, twenty-four guns; the Royal Allred, eighteen guns; the Royal Oak, twenty-four guns; the Warrior, thirty-two guns; the Zealous, twenty guns, and the Valiant, twenty-four guns, 1orm the sixteen armor-plated vessels, which according to modern authority and modern maritime opinions, constituce the whole of the fighting navy of Kngland, And from these sixteen vessels must be deducted the Warrior and the Royal Oak, both of which, it is true, are iron-plated, but after a fashion that would be of no earthly use if fired imto by the enormous sized) =guas now m use on board u- ropean as well as American — slups-ol-war, Of armor-plated turret ships we have as yet but one, namely, the Monarch, &@ vessel well cal- culated to defend the entrance of a seaport, but utterly useless as a seagomg ship, or as a vessel to Aight m other than the smoothest of smooth waters. Here, then, you have the effective strength of the British navy at the present day, after deducting all the wooden steamers, the training ships, the tug- boats, the tenders, the troop ships, the’ despaten Doats, the surveying Vessels, the wooden coast guard ships, the reyal steam yachts and the rest of the Ships that seein to be always preparing for a navy that is never prepared. It is true that we have a large fleet of gunboats, vessels that carry from one to five pieces of ordnance; but if a war were to break out to-morrow between ourselves and any maritime mation these would prove worse than useiess, lor they would absorb vast numbers of our seamen, and ‘they are not caiculated to carry guns of the size now in use in nayal warfare. ‘They are slow in their movements, can only be coaled for eight or tea days at the very outside, and are perfect logs under can- vas. As was said inthe House of Commons last week, the most economical use we could maxe of these gunboa:s would be to give them away, for most assuredly no nation or individual would ever be found mad enough to buy them, Among the prominent naval men of England there is none who has distinguished himself more, during ihe five and twenty years he has served his country, than Captain Sherard Osborn, who has commanded ships in every quarter of the globe and been present wherever hard knocks were going. At a public dinner on Friday last, in returnig thanks for the British Nayy, Captain Osborn congratulated his hearers on having got rid of the woouen fleet of Bng- land, and stated that if for the future Eugiand wished to hold her own at sea she had yet ner navy to build, for that beyond some eight or ten ships she had really notasingle vessel with which to defend her com- merce im any part of the world. Now, | ask you, of what use would a navy of this strength be, if we had to protect our commerce in all parts of the world—to guard the coasts of Cana. da; look after our possessions of the North Pacific coast; prevent the Chinese from injuring our trade in their own waters; keep our Indian ports open; keep up communication along the Red Sea and Cey- lon and Hindostan; maintain our position as one of the Y¥uropean families of nations in the Mediterranean; have an eye upon our English and Scotch seapor' towns; and last, though not pare prevent any enemy from landing in Ireland, or from fomenting insurrection, which would, a8 a matter of course, commence in that country as soon as ever we were in trouble with any other? And remember I have said nothing here respecting any defensive operations, but have simp) marked out @ portion, and a smvll portion, too, of what we should have to do in defending what is our present position, Even at ee day, with no war on liand and with no cali for extra vigilance in any part of the world, it is impossible to take up a newspaper without finding complaints from naval officers stationed in the colonies respecting the total inadequacy of the number of British ships-of-war bow in commission. It is only in the Mediterranean or the English Channel squadron that either ofiicers or men can get fs few days’ run of shore. On all other stations they are kept perpetually on the move from one ort to another, at the requisition of British consuls, or to protect some interest con- nected with British trade, It 1s true that we have at home what 4s called the channel fleet, which con- Rists chiefly of wooden screw vessels, with which fre a few iron-clads; but this feet is by no means thoroughly manned, and is kept up principally for the purpose of expertmenting upon the various Kinas of naval guns and naval inventions which are being constantly brought forward as improvements upon the old style of things. ‘There was a great deal of poastfal talk the other day after the cruise of an experimental squadron, manned entirely by men of the naval reserve, But those who in perfect good faith made so much of this event forgot several circumstances connected with naval matters. In the first place, the squadron was ‘a very small one, consisting of but a dozen vessels, and these wooden ships, only half armed, and with little more than half their full complement of crews. ‘The men of the naval reserve are no doubt good sail- ing seamen, but to be of any use in a national navy the crews must be fighting sailors and trained to naval gunnery as well as to handle ropes, It takes time, and not @ little time either, to teach seamen to handle properly and with effect the guns used tn modern naval warfare, Moreover, the mercantile navy and the royal navy do not and never did amaigamate well together. The two brances of the same calling have always-been more or ies jealous of each other, and Tam informed, from excellent authority, that the old causes of dispute were not forgotten during the cruise of which we heard so much, It may sound very well in theory, but it does not work well in practice, to give chief and second and third oficers ‘of the mercantile navy the nominal rank of lieuten- ants of the naval reserve, and then, whenever they join a ship-of-war, even then the senior among them ‘to be under the orders of junior Heutenanis of the royal navy. Still less does it answer when sub- lieutenants of the royal navy are under the orders of lieutenants of the naval reserve, the latter being to the former what laymen are to priests or what men out of government employment invariably are held to be by thoge in such employment, J nad hoped to have said something in this letter respecting the defenceless state of most of our Eng- Tish seaports; but | must reserve my observations on ‘This head Jor another communication, SPAIN, Whe Promulgation of the Spanish Constitus tion—Signing of the Document in the Palace of the Cortes—The Members Assembled in the Chambers-Madrid Made Gay—The City Decorated-Tho luminations at Night—How the Signing of the Constitn~ tion was Celebrated—Thousands of Strangers in the Capital, MADRID, Jone 15, 1869, Your readers must have followed the Spanish con- titulion with more or less curiosity during its trou ‘Dious, noisy period of gestation, and now, having at Jast been emitted fairly out of the womb and taken clean palpable form to march alongside of other con- stitutions, perhaps they would also like to know how it came about, how the birth was celebrated, of the “old women” prognostications, and sage shakings of heads uttered and made as people looked on in wonder at each step It made, It 18 merely for the sake of satisfying a pardonable curiosity on their part that “your special” has taken the trouble to collate details for this letter; other. wise, perhaps, plenty of other matters might have ‘been found to write about. ‘Towards the early part of last week the constitu- tion first gave symptoms tnat Ils period of gestation Was about to come to an end, Its straggies were energetic, and a buzz of expectancy ran over Spain, People around Madr noticeable frequented enfés ottener and stayed here longer. The havitase Of the clubs found society at those places far more Interesting Wan the set parlor and curtained bed of thetr wives. At ail hours Spaniards find charms in late hours, black eomee and political clubs, but the early part of last week one could hardly tell what hours they weat to bed or whether they retired at all. ‘lt was ali very curious!” And yet there was good canse for this curiosity, A child was to be born who had been faviered by the nauon on the 20th of Septeuber iast year. ‘This child, over whose birth no Bethlehem star shone, was no other than the Spanish constitution. Wednesday night the 2d the great event took place. Friday, all the members signed the constitution; by all, 18 meant ail those who advocate the monarehical democratical doctrines, Ths siguing Was a stately affair also, as Well as everytling connected with the emission of the constitnuon. The Dputsdos were divided lato four groups, each group sat upon a separate division of benches. Tue first group, composed of the deputies from Alaya, Albacete, Alicante, Almeria, Avila, Badajoz, Baleares, Bareciona, Burgos, Caceres, Cadiz, Cavary Isles and Castelen, numbering eighty-six men, were those first called upon to sign durmg the hour between two P. M, and three P. M. The second group, composed of the deputies from Oludad Real, Cordoba, Coruia, Cucaca, Gerona, Gravada, Guadalajara, Guipuzcoa, Huelva, Huesca, Jaen and Leon, numbering eighty- one nen, occupied the hour from three to four P. M. Tue third group of deputies from Leriua, Lovrona, Lugo, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia, Navarra, Uretise, Oviedo, Palencia, Vontevedra, consisting of eighty-seven men, occupled the hour from four to five P, M., and the fourth and last group of Deputies Tron Sa amanca, Santander, Segovia, Sevilla, Soria, Tarragona, feruel, ‘Toledo, Valencia, — Vaila- doud, — Vizeaya, Zamora’ and Zaragoza, composed of seventy-seven men, signed durin: the hour from five to sfx P.M. A tabie covere: with purpie velvet, goid trioged, had been placed in the centre oO: tke chamber. It contained iengthy Sueets of paper. silver inkstands and two trays, around which were ranged four hundred silver pens, placed tn us many ivory peuholders, Each member, as he was about to sign, chose one of these pens, aad, after writing bis name three times, was al- lowed to reiain it to exhibit to his friends as the instrument with which he endorsed the constitu- on, aad to present to his children or family as a memento to be ueld sacred. One-half of the signers of the constitution evidently regarded the 1k as sacred also, aud therefore allowed it to dry on the pen; but the otner half, having an eye to beauty, carefully wiped it on penwipers oficlously heid ready by the liveried pages of the Cortes. ‘thus was the ceremony of signing tue constitution gone through. There was notamg very solemn in it that your correspondent coud see. The most solemn faces were worn by the solemn old heroes who had managed to live through ten signing epochs. Some- thing like ten constitutions have been signed and sworn to within the memory of man, and our vene- rable grayheads seem quite used to “all that sort of thug’? now. One ma; faithfally swear that old Alvarez (old bigot) and old Olozaga (old humbug) to be able to do all this must have pretty elastic consciences, and that fur doing so they Will find snug elbow room within Abraham's capa- cious bosom, But a week has elapsed since I heard them both spouting grandiose effusions about “acts of the faith,’’ Alvarez with Is shrill treple voice quivering in unison with his palsied limbs, and Olozaga out of the lowermost depths of his capacious belly, and honestly they gave one no idea of oratory, style, sense or progress; rather to my mind the aruculation of exploded antiquity, Weil, so much for the solemn act of signing the constitution, Sunday the 5th was vhe day fixed by the Cortes for the solemn act of promulgating the constitution—that 18, of having grand banquets, civic proceasions, yiva- ing uncil lungs cracked, military marches past, speeches, reading the constitution, while all heaven and earth contribated something 'to make the pro- minigartan as solemn as posaible—the solemner the etter. Early Sunday morning your special correspondent at Madrid received a ticket from General Meiaus dei Bosch with a small note written in very bad English, The ticket was worded thus:— The Prosident of the Cortes Constituyentes and the mem- bers of the Commission of the Government of the Interior invite you to witness the solemn act of the promulgation of the constitution, which will take place at the hour of one m the afternoon of Sunday proyimo, June, 180%, in the peristyle Of the palace of the Cortes, [Seal of Cortes.) In uniform, court or full dress suits, Sunday morning, at an earlier hour than usual, I sallied from my rooms to see what had been done, and to behold Madrid at mine ease as it was decked out in gala dress for this denouement of a constitu tion. A mound erected by royal money in the Buen Retiro bears on it ce observatory built in Moorish style. From this height I iooked down upon Madrid, the consummated desire of Philip Il. A stately mass of granite, brick and mortar, of solid, substan- tial lesser Escuria's, of ducal palaces, churches and mansions presented itself; above which towered the dome of the future Pantheon, the Flemish spires of no- ble palaces and churches, with here and there Italian towers lording !t over minsters of ponderous pro- portions, verdurous foliage around, streami through’ street after street, and massed in mang plazas like Paid Such is Madrid, The Buen Retiro, or Park of Madrid, at my feet, filled with the cholcest exotics and tropical trees, exhaled the perfume of rare flowers, over and among which the feathered songsters warbied their lively hosannahs to the Highest. All the senses were satiated with the vision. ‘The profound silence of the Retiro, unbroken save by the choristers of the grove, the soft flow of foliage before te loomgaie, and the purple sea of hills to- wards the north, and frp of plain and mound to the south and east of the capital called forth warm- est admiration. Descending the mound and tread- ing the labyrinths of avenues in the Park, | came to the lake, where a flotilia of small boats were moored to the jetties whereon triumphal arches had been erected bearing mottoes, “Live the National Sove- reiguty,” “Live the Monarchy Democratic,” “Live the Country's Heroes,” “Viva la Espaiia.”’ Each boat hoisted a small Spanish ensign, many streamers ot yellow and red. Here were the first indications that a great day for distressed Spain was at hand. From the lake citywards my way bea through “crisped shades and bowers,’ through avenues darkened by the masses of foliage from tropical trees, from fluttering ash and birch until the Prado was reached. The Prado promenade of the ¢lite of the city was decked out in a style befitting its im- portance to Madrilenos. In its centre was erected a platform, sides of it clothed by ancient tapesty, corners festooned with flowers and floor carpeted, while around were ranged seats for 5,000 people. Each ppost was garianded, and made gay with vari-colored sik ribbons; arches shot up at intervals along the Prado’s whole length, mottoed by vivas innumerable to every suggestive name and patriotic senument, From the Prado up through Valle de San Geronimo until I stood before the Palace of the Cortes. The peristyle of it was never since its erec- tion dressed out as on this day. A platform had been extended from the te portais of the palace. into the middie of Calle San Geronimo, and along the whole front of the jongreso, suflciont to contain 6,000 of the noblest Castellanos, Looking up along San Gerontmo one might see every baicony clothed in red, yellow, bine and white—flags and streamers of ali colors being yendant from the iron railing, wreaths of orange faves surrounding memorable Spanish names, and “Viva Ia Soberanta Nacional’ In front of the Cortes, those who have been to Madrid will recollect a triangular area called Plaza de los Cortes. Four streets meet here, A circular centre is planted with orange shrubbery and gemmed by flower beds, lilacs and delicious azaleas, which surround the bronze statue of the Spanish Shakspeare, Cervantes, On the other side of this triangular plaza is a small con- yent of the Ursulines, attached to which and form- ing the boundary of San Geronimo, as far as the Prado, is the palace of the Duke Medina-Vell, This palace and this diminutive Ursuline convent, oppo- site to this peristyle of the Cortes, whereon was to be enacted this first Sunday in June the promulga- tion, have borne witness to strange things. Calle de San Geronimo was in a gayer dress than any other part of Madrid, because the Imposing front and peristyle of the Congreso faced on this street, It was on San Geronimo the people would crowd to witness tne Drotaihgation 5 it was on this street where Madrid and the provincial Deputies would shout their epopees towards apostrophizing their deity. Puerto del Sol was very animated about noon. Calle Alcala showed symptons of being ready to do its best for the celebration of the day, Calle Mayor was exuberant. Calle Carretas and the Palace of the Gobernacion were festive. Every window, door, balcony and terrace presented a new aspect. Our old friends, the populacho loungers of the Puérto del Sol, formerly out at elbows, yet exhibiting stoutly in the teeth of all strangers their stiff Castilian spirit, looked awakened out of their torpor, and, having donned new hats and fitted their senoritas with the latest style of high heeled baimorals, about noon started for the Prado, Twelve, midday, sounded sonoronsly enough in the Puerto del Sol, and with the crowd flowing to- wards the Prado. Every man who wished to see the army drawn up went there, What 1 could seo at this hour on the Prado was 30,000 troops, composed of reguiars and volunteers, drawn up in three iong lines, waiting for the signai for the march past the Cortes, A8 the hour of one was the time Axed for the promulgation there was no use of omg time looking on the military, and for this reason I trans- port myself into the Chamber of we Cortes to note What the Deputies are about, In the Chamber of the Cortes abont 350 Deputies were seated, almost tn silence, latening to the notonous chant of the secretary reading the names of the members, Ministers Serrano, Prim and ‘fo- pete were in their uniforms, and hwif a dozen super anunated generals who were Deputies bad thus dis- guised their decrepitade, ‘They must have all fought & great many battles, for the smallest number of medals on & uniform coat might, perhaps, amount to ten, while the ureatest, owing to Weir manner of fixing them, were uncountable by me. Prim looked remarkably btlious; Topete looked flushed with bile aiso, Serrano was catin and in usual im- penetrability. Rivero, President of the Cortes, thought himself monareh of the Louse, surveyed the House as bis slaves, and under the day dream looked benign, but condescending. The secretary's voice subsided, Kivero rang his bell to order, aud requested the order of the day to be read; 1. Cortes would leave Chamber, proceded by Rivero, to per: intyle of Cortes, Where the constitution would bo Feat to the people in a loud voloe, 3 2 Cortes would return to Chamber and Exccutive power would take oath to protect the constitution, 4, Cortes would go back 10 peristy! if palace, witness the lave their adh¢sion to troupe tile past and hear the troops a the Inw: 4. Cortes would leave Congreso to partake of grand bangnet at ihe Cras Consistoriaies. The above order of we day bolag fread, Riverc betl again sounded, and he, the elected ringer of It, then descended trom the tripnne, and, preceded by the macers—rolies of Philip the Second’s age—and proceeded to the periotyle, followed by the Ministers and Deputies, ‘this was the time to make a grand rush from the press tribane to the peristyle, where seats had been Placed tor the invited. ‘The liveried servants were very insolent, and requested to know if we were deputies, A London correspondent answered yes, he was a deputy from England, and your cor- respondent was adeputy from America, at the same time placing bis ticket close to their nagal organs. We were mernitied to pass; and so well did we manage it that we succeeded in getting on the third and fourth seats from the ministerial bench to full Trout, whieh we occupied with our usual Bohemian aplomb. It must be also noted that we alstanced Havas’ and Fabras’ telegraphic agents, as well as every Spanish editor and reporter, much to their dis- gust at tieir own Want of tact. ihe Ministers, Deputies, diplomatic corps, military oMicers, corporations, provincial deputies and press having taken thelr seats, Secretary Lianl, of Persi, rose up to read the constitution, It was impossible to hear him, though buta few feet from him, the roar of the thousands below tn the streets was so deep and intense. A clean path had been kept open by the long lines of the volunteers, as faras the eye coald reach, up and down San Geronimo, and the crowd compressed into the small plaza in front of Co: 30, the Ursuline convent, and the wiace of Medina-Cell was dangerously disturbed. he people swung themselves to embrasures in the convent, scrambied up and took on of the belfry and one of the very steeples, choked the love- By ad of the Orsini, pressed around the doors of ledina-Cell, diling the lower range of the windows of the palace for lack of room to stand otherwise. ‘The pedestal of Cervantes? statue was also occupied by a stoical set; the ‘flower gems” and “delicious azaleas” were trampled into muck. There was not an ineh unoccupied, woile still the living coufuxcs ean from five streets sweiled the living sea be- OW US. The constitution was read and folded up. Rivero, fat, conetiss Corypheus, Jed the vivas. ‘Viva la constitucion,” “Viva,” roared the multitudes from the depths of their hearts—short, deep, guttural. “Viva la Soberania Nacional.” Again the thunder chorus, “Viva.” “Viva la Espaia.”’ Viva responded to this time by 20,000 voices. “Viva la libertad.” Viva this time overwhelming. “Viva los Castel- Janos.’ Spontaneous storm of vivas. ‘Viva Ser- rano.” “Viva? irom few hundreds. “Viva Prim; “Viva’’ weaker still; “Viva Topete,” another weak chorus of ‘Viva,’ “Viva las Cortes Constituentes,”? weaker yet “Viva.” Vivaing subsided. Kivero turned right about, Cortes and Ministers did hke- wise, “Marcha,” and to the Chamber, press represcn- tatives following, Rivero delivered the oath, and the Ministers, with hands uplifted before high Heaven and in presence of the assembled Deputies swore to cherish and obey the Spanish constitution of 1869. ‘This Ceremouy pertormed, i the same stately way doaghty Rivero led the way to the front of the plat- lorm erected adjoming the peristyle. But while the Ministers had been swearing to observe the consti- tution the compressed crowds lad become restive, and had emitted their anger tn growls ot discontent aud sharp words addressed to ofMcers who had been rather oficious in keeping the crowd back. Ofilcers retorted’ sharply likewise, and, once having given tongue, they stood fair butts for Catalan wit and repartee, which Castellanos can never stand meekly. The consequence was a young officer rode furiously forward and delivered’ one forward peasant a sharp blow on the head, which ired him so much that he quickly answered the blow with his heavy stick. An ofmicer struck? ‘This was not to be borne. His comrades mobbed up and made a charge on the cro vd. The crowd shouted back defiance, volun- teers fingered their muskets excitedly, and uncon- sciously gave pokes with bayonet: wing two persons mortal wounds, of which they died soon afterward. Blows were freely exchanged, and as excitement 18 contagious it was ee extending among the masses in other parts, and, left to itself, might have ended the auspicious day in another revolution and the new constitution strangled at its birth; but the od genius of General Milas det Borch, Military Governor of Madrid, who 1s a Tatley- randish kind of an individual, wafted another enthu- slastic “Viva la Soberania Nacional,” full and clear into the air, which was caught up by the mob and angry mass near the Cortes and re-echoed over and over again. ‘hua was a revolution checked, aud When (he Ministers issued out through the portals of the palacio the inconstant mob, but lately ready to strangle the constitution, now vivaed most lustily, Every one is now on the que vive for the march past. Our noble seflors and excel/entissimos gentlemen are all ranged as close as possible to the railing that runs round the edge of the platform. “Attencion” is sounded by bugle, and instantly every volunteer on guard in rank straightens nis vertebre and stiftens into a soldier, and oiticers with some bravado sharply cleave the air with their swords and come to an “‘attencion” also. A bugle blast, a few mo- ments of expectancy, and here they come, to the sound of the “Riege” or the “Marseillaise.”” Guardia Civil, in our own revolutionary costumes, cocked hats, knee breeches, black gaiters, white togas, swal- low coattails, with red bosoms, all a fine, stalwart regiment, Gnardia Civil, as each company files by Executive power. At the limit given each one by its company “viva the constitution.” ‘Viva la constt- tucion,’’ shouts the captain, raising his sword inspir- ingly; “Viva,” reiterates the martial chorus, vo- cally. Guardia Civili 18 foltowed by a regi- ment of yolunteers, and this one also by companies lungfully ‘shout “Viva? Regulars also march by, and they in their tura try the strength of their lungs in giv- ing effect to thelr “vivas.” And so on company after company, battalion following batta- lion, regiment succeeding regiment, marched past to marital and exhilarating notes, infantry, cavalry and artillery; cuirassiers, terrific looking sabreurs, clad in steel morions and breastplates, all bearded like pards; gay lancers, with reddest of banderilios at- tached to glancing steel heads; beaver-capped hus- sars, with spick and span new uniforms, mounted on horses as well trained as their masters, and a regi- ment of mounted Guardia Civil closed the long pro- cession of 40,000 soldiers, first rate specimens of Spaniards militant. The scene was surpassingly gay and animated, and it must be admitted that Madrid outdid even Madrid—which 1s a vast admission. It must not be believed the enthusiasm Was such as Might de shown by 30,000 soldiers, by streets choked with people, by the fact that there were in Madrid neariy 100,000 strangers (/orasieros) trom the provinces. Much more enthusiastic might the people have been if there was more unanimity in politics, Those perp always enthusiastic were absent or held their tongues. Had Caste- jar, the orator, suddenly appeared somewhere among all that vast crowd and commenced one of his Inspired orations, Madrid would have been a scene of murder aud desolation immediately. But republican chiefs counsetied wisely, they counselled their ardent disciples to be still, and they were wonderfuily still. One man only shouted ‘Viva la republica” in front of the Congreso, and the Ministers and Deputies and volunteers laughed, just as they would have laughed had a band made the ludicrous mistake of playing the solemn British anthem instead of the tfervia “'Marsellaise.”” It has been said that there was an insurrection to be started some time during this day. It 1s all wrong. If it is possible that that one was expected by the government they could not suppose it was to be by republicans, for the chiefs and heads of clubs lett the eliy for Cordova and otver points. It is more likely that Milaus del Bosch’s suspicion having been excited he gor to believe the ideal as a reality. It isnot the first time that Milaus del Bosch has been eccentric. However, at the only affray or tu- mult inchoate, throttled at its issue by Milaus’ genius, there were only two men killed and about ten wounded, one at least of them 80 severely that A is not expected to live. A pretty clean sheet atter What more was to be done after this ending of the procession? Nothing. Provincial Deputies, su- premely verdant, managed to have a peep inside the Congreso. They got in, even to the principal chamber, where they experienced the delights or sitting on ministerial velvets and Deputies’ plush, exclaiming to cach other, “Gomez, or Dominguez, mire Ud.—look here—I am Serrano, I am Prim, or Lam Topete,’’ as the case might be. There were very many ‘Ministers this day—rather a canaile set, after all, these same extempore Deputies, More also to be done was to go hone, eat the puchero, feast on chick peas and hog, drink our Malaga or red wines of Xeres de Frontera and sleep our siesta out, and prepare for the evening's enter- tainments, At nine P. M, tiluminations were begun. Four streets were lighted up by the magnetic light, before which brilliance verdant provincials became awe- struck. Blue lights were seat floating over the city, rockets and paper shelis were fired in the Buen Ke- uro, every street and atley was hung thick with Chinese lanterns, and gas blazed out characters, “Viva e! Gobierno Nacional” and otter patriotic sentences, Ii the streets were crowded during the day they were ten times more 80 at night. Every house must have been emptied. Theatres were empty because of the greater glories visible outside, The prados and pascos were crowded beyond description, be- yond conception dense, and the crush of carriages ‘and horses was 80 great that it isa wonder to me how they ever separated, became disentangled and reached home. If tt were not a well known fact that the Spaniards are overfond of feast days and festivities I would be almost tempted to essay a smail prediction that Such scenes might be taken ag certain indications that long Iiie would be awarded the constitution of 1869, But with such unpleasant historical recoras eet me as the fact that deciares that since 1400 there have been ten constitutions made, sworn to and celebrated in like manner, what dare we say about this except “live the constitution of 1569" as long as it can, and when it can live no longer let it die a natural death and be buried decently, like ovher corruptible things. The New PantheonDeparture of General De Rodus for Cuba, fi Oaniz, June 18, 180% The Spanish government have hit upon a new plan to draw off attention from their peculiar statesman. ship. The Minister of the Interior some time past introduced a resolution to organize a national pan- theon—a sort of Spanish Mecca where ail the defunct sons, Who were important in that time, will have a niche, ‘The resolution has been adopted and is being exe- cuted throughout the peninsula. Kings and a mitrals, saints and sinners, generals and ts, are on their way to the new pantheon; but the master mind of old Spain, the greatest genius she ever nurved, will not be among the favored ones, because his grave is unknown, Mignel Cervantes sleeps in an unknown grave, and so does the master of Spanish painters—Murillo, Without the dust of these two great men the new pantieon will not be very at- tractive to strangers. This evening the remains of the gallant but unfor- tunate Admiral Gravina, who commanded the Span- ish squadron at the battle of Trafalgar, were ex- humed in the Charch of Our Lady of Carme! and sent to Madrid. The obsequies were very impressive and attracted much attention.

The Royal Tour—Visit to Jahde—Politienl Vacations=Generosity of the Viceroy—An Old Egyptian Explorer—Fiogging of Swedes in MecklenburgThe Flow of Emigra- tion, Berwin, June 17, 1869, On Sunday last King William left for his often postponed visit to the new provinces, though Hesse and Nassau have been struck ont from the royal programme, which covers eight days only Instead of a fortnight. But the season ts far ad- vauced, and shortly after coming back his Majesty will have to repair, by the ardvice of his physicians, to Ems, where his stay will not be less than a month, Great preparations for his reception are said to have been made at Bremen, where he will be on Monday and witness the start of the North Pole expedition from Bremerhaven. The vast artificial harbor works of Jahde, which are nearly completed and have cost many millions, will be inspected by him on Thursday and Friday, and Saturday will be spent at different Hanoverian towns. Both Riechstag and Zoll Par- Jiament adjourn towards the end of the month, Count Bismarck retires for six weeks at least to Varzin and the political interregnum may then be con- sidered as entered upon. In the meanwhile the result brought about by the recent exciting elections im France will have forced upon the Emperor Napoleon a distinct line of action and thus enable Count Bismarck to shape his policy accordingly. Supposing, then, Napoleon's govern- ment to be entirely occupied in home affairs and no time left for listenmg to Chauvinism and casting covetous glances beyond the frontier, it will afford a chance tothe Lron Count to relax his obstinacy with respect to the military budget of the North Ger- man Confederation and thus disarm the violent par- liamentary opposition and recover somewhat of the prestige Which he has lost by recent proceedings. ‘The reserve with which the Viceroy of Egypt was treated, care being taken to have the Turkisil env Aristarchi Bey, close at hand at each official recep- tion, has not prevented certain courtesies passing between him and the Court; im fact, previous to his departure the King presented him with a colossal and magnificent porcelain vase of great value, from the royal factory, and gave decoracions to several of his retinue; while Ismail Fach, on his part, did not fail to distribute costly suut boxes among those Prussian dignitaries who were selected to attend his royal person during his vis:t, To sow his appre- ciation of the performances of the corps de ballet, the royal manager, Herr von Hiilsen, was presenved with a sabatidve set in diamonds, valued at $1,500, A custom with respect to such mementos, probably unknown in your hemisphere, deserves a passing notice, It 1s the rapidity with which usually the lucky recipients dispose of them, and generally to those very jewellers who have sold them in the first instance, and who, of course, take care to make a double profit on the transactions. It can thus be stated with confidence that the stock in ie of this description, at the principal jewellers’ and purveyors’—we mean the big diamond, emerald and ruby rings, the gold snuff boxes, and even the crosses of honor, set in diamonds—has done duty on this as on former occasions, and is always at hand to periorm a similar cireuit at the first oppor- tunity, Ismail Pacha was also waited upon by a deputa- tion of the Humboldt Society here, who formally thanked him for the protection afforded to the emi- nent naturalist, Dr. Schweinfurth, in_ his researches along the bank’ of the Waite Nile, which could only be carried but by the Viceroy’s commanding the Governor Generai of Sudan to facilitate every moyve- ment of the European savant. The Viceroy assured the deputation—consisting, among others, of Protessors Du Bois, Reymond, Lepsius and Ehrenberg~-of his readiness to lend his assistance to all similar explorations, and entered into a lengthy conversation with Professor Eliren- berg, the scientific pioneer of Egypt, who explored that country some fifty years ago, A rumor much in vogue, that the Crown Prince of Prussia will be delegated to attend the opening of the Suez Canal, needs confirmation, as the government would hardly comunit itself to any such promise without knowing the inventions of other crowned heads. A curious trafic has lately sprung up in Mecklen- burg owing to the depletion suffered by that country through emigration to the United States. It con- sists 1n a Wholesale importation of Swedes, males and females, to supply the lack of laborers, and Mecklenourg Journais offer these menials in adyer- tisements much in the former style of the Louisiana ade | with regard to negroes. Two of the poor fel- ows having been subjected to hogging, for which Mecklenburg is noted, fed to Lubeck, and tuere claimed the protection and assistance of the Swed- ish Consul. This is likeiy to operate as a caution vo the Swedes, who may henceforth prefer to emigrate direct to America, ‘The lists published here officially of those who left Prussia without permit are now longer than ever. In the smaii district of Stettin no less than 978 in- dividuals still owing military duty took French leave.

The Suez Canal—The Viceroy of Egypt Criticised—Irritation of tho PortemArrival of Schamyl—Internal Affairs. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 16, 1869, The question of the Suez Canal seems destined again to occupy the attention of the world, and if later events in Egypt turn out at ail like the shadows they are now casting before them the affair may prove troublesome to Turkey. For the welfare of this country, which requires somo years of peace and quietness in order to be able to reap the benefit of recent innovations, I trust I may prove a false prophet; but there 1s certainly a dark spot rising over Egypt im connection with the Suez Canal, which we shailhear more of ere long, The danger does not rest so much in the exigencies and intrigues of foreign governments with respect to the canal as in the attitude of the Viceroy him- self, who 18 evidenly bent upon acting on the occasion of the opening of the canal more like an independent prince than an hereditary but still dependent pacha of the em- pire. Ismael Pacha has for some time past been sus- pected, ana recently he has been openly accused by the press of the country of aspiring to throw off en- tirely his allegiance to the Sultan. This suspicion naturally caused the Sultan and his Minister to feel jealous of and irritated against the Viceroy, and his present visit ty Europe for the express purpose of inviting to the inauguration of the canal as many kings and princes as may feel disposed to accept his hospitality, whch invitations were conceived and are being given without even the form of a prelimi, nary consultation with the suzerain government, has increased this irritation to positive anger on the partof the Sultan, When he was informed of the fact some days ago his wrath and indignation against his vassal were so great that he felt ili in con- sequence, and had to give up going to one of his tury palaces, as he had intended to. oa ie how rumored that Ali Pacha has written 0 to the Khedive with regard to his con- cone Bome people say that itis more than strong— that itis violent and menacing, It remains to be seen now if the effect will bo to check the V ey in his ambitious views, or if it will be taken up it hia as a good pretext to throw olf the mask, All will depend, of course, on the aid he may hope to obtain from some of the European cabinets who have already mooted the question of the neutrality of the canal and its banks. But is the Porte likely to gi ‘An eaay consent to a Ver toe which frees & portion if Egypt, when tt sees that the Viceroy 1s intriguing fo deprive the Sultan of all authority over the whole? 1 did not mention in my last that General Ignatiost, NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JULY 4, 1869.—IRIPLE SHEET. the Russian Ambassador, had left this city en route for St. Petersburg. It 18 now said that he will not re- turn, as the Porte has discovered certam tntrigues on his part which have been notified co his government. On the other hand, we have an arrival from fus- siaim the person of the famous old Sheikh schawsl, He 18 treated as a guest of the Sultan, and lodzed in f konak or large house sapecialty. prepared for him by the sultan’s orders, Schamyl is now nearly elghty years old, but carries himself splendidly still, and with his long and magnificent white beard has quite an imposing appearance, He 1s accompanied by his two sons-in-law, his eldest son and a third son-in-law having remained behind in Russia, After a short stay here he will continue his journey to Mecca, in all probability to end his days there. The Minister of Public Works 18 at Paris trying to Moat the Roumelian Railway financially, Numerous other projects are before the Board, but tt appears to be waiting to see the result of Daud’s financial com- bivations with regard to the grand line ere it takes up other projects. Many of the governors of the provinces are ex- pected to arrive here soon, and it is the Grand Vi- Zier’s Intention to invite them to a general councll, in order to consult with them regarding all changes necessary in the provinces. ‘The new regulations for the army are being sub- mitted to @ council, which now sits atthe War De- artment.

Proposed Army Reform—Present Demoraliza-- tion of the Troops. The following 1s a sketch of the proposed reorgani- zation:—The army will number in all 620,000 men, of Whom 220,000 will be on unlimited furlough. ‘The conscripts wili serve twelve years, flve years in the active army and the remainder in the reserve or on unlimited ‘furlough. ‘Those in the cavalry will serve tive years with the flag, and will then, in time of peace, have a hited furlough, until the commence- ment of the last two years, when they will be drafted tuto the artillery, The reserve will be formed as above, with the addi tion of those Ww! are exempted from active service, The latter will be taught by spectally ap- poluted non-commissioned oficers, and the rest wili be called out for training for five months during one part of the year and for forty days during another. ‘The reserve Will consist of infantry rijemen, gar! son artillery, sappers and hospital corps. ‘Tbe offtl- c will be named by royal decree from those who may volunteer from the aetive army and supernu- merary oflicers arising from reductions, All opicers pass into the reserve’ at a certain age—lieutenant generals at 62; major generals, 58; colonels, 5: Heutenant colonels and majors, 62} captains, 43} lientenants. 45; but they will be — eligible for temporary active service in the event of the entire army being placed on a war footing. The age of retirement 1 be —lieutenant- generals, 70; major generals, 68; colonels, 68} lieutenant colonels and majors, 60; captains, 55} lieutenants, 52. in countiag the term of service for pensions, three years in the reserve will count as one in the active army, except when in active ser- vice, when 1t will be reckoned as full tine. OMcers Who on entering the reserve have compleied twelve years in the same rank, and those who have served twelve years in the same grade in the reserve, will be entitled to promotion. In one category of the army no man will be allowed to marry until 26, in another at 24, and a breach of these rules will be punished in the case of 1on-commissioned officer: ation to the ranks; in that of pri- vates by service in a disciplinary corps. Meanwhile the discipline or the actual army is very bad. = Durin, the last two years 10,193 deserters were readmitted mm consequence of the amnesty proclaimed; bat, in the meantime, 5,514 more had deserted, while 169 had commmitéed suicide, besides there being at the above date 1,975 in prison for military offences. Inthe two years the nuimber subjected to this penalty were 6,018, viz., 3,840 for desertion, 611 for insubordina- thon, 258 for theft; besides these, 2,960 men of the corps of chasseurs, disbanded tn April, 188%, had been punished for’ theft, incorrigibie conduct and other wor p olfences, RUSSIA. Railroad Statistics~Inefiiciency of the Means of Transport. Baron Delwigh has just pablisned an account of the state of the ratiways of Russia for the last two 3. He states that the traffic of 1868 was carried 664 miles of governmental lines and 3,612 of private lnes—the last heving been traversed by 7,743,538 passengers in 1867, and 8,783,299 in 1863. ‘he amount of goods forwarded by the privave lines m 1867 Was 116,050,000 ewt., against 153,900,000 in 1868. The gross receipts of al! the private lines are about £6,428,809 (37,099,485 roubles) for 1867, and about £6,606,522 (46,405,742 roubles) for 1568, showing thas an i ase of £1,237,713, This increase would probably be far greater if all the main lines leading to Moscow and St. Petersburg were provided with double ratls. ‘The lines of Mos- cow-Kiazan and Moscow-Koursk are furnished only with single ratis, so that the accumulation of goods at different stations is enormous. Very often goods lie there for six and eight weeks before they are for- warded, and, of course, some of them are completely spoiled, Beef and all kinds of provisions cannot be conveyed at all under such conditions. Riazan and Koursk, betug both of them principal janctions be- tween several central and southern routes, the Eng- lish capitalists connected with the railways beyond these two towns cannot, expect a fair profit upon their shares as long as the Moscow-Kiazan and Mos- cow-Koursk lines have only one pair of ratls and an insufficient stock of locomotives and carriages, FORE,GN MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS, A snow storm passed over the town of Lecco, Italy, on the evening of June 15, The Paris Figaro announces that the opening of the Suez Canal is postponed to the 15th November, “in order to give the canal time to make its toilet.” In France there are prosecutions being carried on by the governinent agaist twenty-four jouraals at the present moment, Colonel Frapolli, deputy to the Italian Parliament, has been elected Grand Master of the Fraternity of Free Masons in Italy.
