EUROPE. The Chinese ‘Ambassy Preparing to Leave Paris. THE KING Of PRUSSIA IN BREMEN. LIFD IN HOLLAND. The Reception of Ismail Pacha in England, ‘The Inman steamship City of Paris, Captain Ken- nedy, {rom Liverpool the 24th uit., via Queenstown the 25th, arrived here yesterday after a short pas- we. She bring details of our telegrams up to date of galing. Advices from Madrid state that M, Olozaga is on the point of returning tor Paris to resume bis post of Avibassador, to whica he nad been already appoint ed by the Spanish Provisional Government. Itis announced In Burepesan journals that the Chria- fans who send their chidsen vo the Turkish College are threatened with excommanication by the Pope. Is adds tnat the Porte wil, the belief is, exvel the Jesuits trom the Ottoman empire by way of re- prisais, ‘Vhe journals of Leghorn state tat the police of that city have arrested two men as the supposed murderers of M, Ingheram, Ausurlan Consul, Those individuals are beticved to form part of a band ot rebbers, from whose depredations the tnhabitants have long suffered. An English agricultural journal anticipates a rather late harvest, that is, three weeks or a month Jaier than last year, and a yield of wheat and bariey somewhat below an average; bul an average, how- ever, being possible if we should have a setided, sunny July. aAcommunication from Basle states that the bor- ings for rock sait near Wylen (Switzerland) have given very favorable results, Near the Rhine a bed of eirhty feet in thickness has been found at a depth of 420 feet below the surface, and another fifty feet thick not far of ‘The salt is hard, pure and of excellent quality, The London Daily News says the Reform Club has organized @ political committee, numbering fifty members, with a view to maintain party disclipine, adjusting differences and preventing the division of Mberal forces in election contests, The Lloyd of Pesth states that the exportation of corn from Hungary is assuming large dimensions this year. Already 3,000,000 of quintals (22114 pounds each) have been despatched by Salzburg, Monich and Lindau, and further important quantities are about to be sent off by Passau. An Austrian journal states that Austria has de- cided on preserving a reserved attitude in respect to to the Ecumenical Counctl, not being able to foresee what course the deliberations of the Council are likely to take. ‘The Cork Poor Law Board has refused to adopt a motion of Mr. O'Sullivan, the late Mayor, to petition the House of Lords in favor of the Irish Church bill, on the ground that the board was instituted for Poor law purposes, and not for politics. The diticulties of the Duke of Newcastle with his creditors have assumed another phase, A petition has been presented to the Court of Bankruptcy pra: ing for an adjudication against the Duke, and notice to this effect has been served upon the Sheriff of Middlesex and others. The London Times says the accounts from the Hungarian districts are reported to be very encour- aging, although in some parts rain has been wanted. The reports trom the large corn producing districts in ‘Styria and Lower.Austria are also stated to be very satisfactory as regards the approaching harvest, the expectation being that it will equal that of last year, which was unprecedented, ‘The Gibraltar Chronicle of June 7 says that a shock of earthquake, which 18 described as being more severe than the last two which have been felt in Gibraltar, took place three minutes before six o'clock A, M. yesterday. It was felt very generally throughout the Rock. At the upper signal station three aistinct motions were felt, the frst two of which were in a northerly direction and the third and last to the south. The London Daily Telegraph says it is thought that if the Lords should handle the details of the Irish Church bill in a practical spirit, with a view to business-like progress, the session may be brought toa close by the first week in August; but if, on the contrary, they should make such alterations in com- mittee as would raise complicated questions with the House of Commons, the session could not possi- bly terminate until a considerably later period. The London Times reiterates that it is quite idle to dream of softening the blow to, the Irish Church, and of doing nothing else, Parsonages and giebes may be preserved for the disestablished clergy; but, wf so, parsonages and glebes must be provided for others, The lords who desire to eedure the one must be prepared to support the other, nor will this be all that may be required of them. They must be ready next Tuesday to produce @ practical scheme embodying their policy and to support it in speeches as weighty and convincing as those which so worthily sustained their reputation last week, FRANCE. Doparture of the Chinese Embassy—Prospects ot Future Saccess—The Burlingame Policy— Rumors Regarding the Recent Riots, PARIs, June 21, 1869, In a former letter I spoke of Mr, Burlingame as packing up for Berlin, his next destination, His tour over the rest of Europe will be nothing else than a triumphal march, Everywhere his arrival is looked for with eagerness, if not impatience, and at every court be will meet with the utmost readiness in grant- ing him all the privileges already conceded to him in the countries ne has visited, The only difficulties ne had to fear for the objects of his mission were all con- centrated in England, For many years the commer- cial enterprise of these energetic people had fastened on China as @ splendid placer, which only required industrious working to yield profits as large as had been extracted in the past from thetr Indian posses- sions. The home government, with the same sa- + gacity displayed through all their colonial career, heartily encouraged these patriotic efforts, and gun- boats and missionaries have been wanting to pro- mote the cause of English civilization in China, France and Russia understood the little game, but instead of checking it thought it their interest simply to join in, and poor John Chinaman was on ‘the nigh road to civilization and spoliation. Already the renowned Wall of China, that for so many centu- ries had grinned deflance at the “outside barba- rian,’ Was breached, and the representatives of the aforesaid Powers were installed in comfort and safety in the sacred capital of the empire. The end of all this, and atno very distant day, would have been (he parcelling out of all the best sections of China among the nations in question, just as haa been already done in the case of poor Poland, and just as would happen again to-morrow in the case of the famous “sick man” of Turkey if the three cor- morants in question could only agree in their dis- section of the victim, Things had arrived at this picasant pass in China, when @ new figure appeared onthe scene and changed the apparent destiny of China. Mr. Burlingame, the American Envoy, was wot long considering what was gotng on, and com- prehended at once that our policy in the East was utterly opposed to the views entertained by the Eu- ropean Powers. Avoiding the double error of a pliant compliance and of an obstinate resistance, he wet to Work with equal ability and tact to convince his diplomatic colleagues that all the advant to be obtained from the trade and commerce of China would be best achieved by the cordial co-operation of ‘ail the civilized Powers, and that diMcuities and com- pic ‘ations of the gravest kind wonid best be avoided ry Rreving she integrity of the Chinese empire unim- red. Concthatory, zealous and stent, the merican Minister finally succeeded in getting his co-operative policy taken into consideration by his associates, and the late Sir Frederick Bruce, the English Minister, gave him his hearty adhesion. how Jeor it would have taken before the Burlin- @ poiley got the sanction of the Weatern Powers 18 hard to say, but the Chinése government lost no ‘me 1p cultivating.the most cordial relations with so | one: &@ champion, and this conddential allt ance to the extrau: ary mission, wich is One of the most curious events of this wonderful cen- vary.

But more of tis another tine, People are sull talking of the Jate disturbance wondering af their origin and purpose, As yet i thing posiiive has been estabiished, tuough it is cur- rently circulated that the riots in Paris were on art Of a pian to revolutionize the whole of Europe. tis stated that Mazzini, worn out by hope deferred, had resolved to set the republic he Nas so ‘ong dreamed of agoing, and that he thought a better opportunity would not offer for a long ume than that of the Freneh elections. 1t is he, therefore, so it is said, that gave the signal fora rising which was meant toenvelope Europe, but which broke dowa so lamentably in Paris that the conspirators tn other capitals did not ventuxe to move. It is also declared, as I stated in a former letter, that the French goy- ernment knew all about the attempt that was to be made by the red republicans of tie Rochefort-Maz- zini school; but they thought it the best policy to let it take place, for the reasons previously g: all events we are likely soon to nave some data on this mysterious and exciting subject, for the democratic press of Paris are so learful of being suspected as implicated im this’ emmeue. It seems that out of some one thousand and odd arrested more than eight hundred are already released, which shows what a number of poor devils paid very dearly for a littie harmless curiosity. Several Eng- lish and Americans, as well as representatives of various European countries, tell into the hands of the police and soldiery and were locked up for sev- eral days in different prisons and fed on bread and water, to say nothing of passing the night with or without straw, asthe case might be. The papers gave S carious list of the individuals picked up, which shows how many of them were inere lookers-on. For instance, there were 334 workmen or labore! 243 servants, 126 clerks, 120 euployés, 80 shop- keepers, 25 gentlemen, and 105 without any special calling or profession. The journals have had an- other nest egg in the shape of a letter since iny last letter, far more important than that of the Duke de Pernigny, I spoke of. It is a leer from the Hm- peror on the ticklish point of his future intentions as regards both men and measures, | have not tune to-day to make comments on this significant pubii- cation, but will take it up fully in my next, The Press and the Government. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Stanmiara furnishes the following list of papers which the gov- ernment has taken proceedings against: -In Paris ‘we have the Sidcle, Opinion Nationale, Rappel, Re- vetl, Klecteur Libre, Gaulois and Correspondance Genérale.

An Incident of the Late Riots in Paris. One of the victims of the unlawful arrests of last week has written a mmute and interestiag acoount of his captivity, and published it in the Journal des Dedats of the 20th ult.:— On Thursday, the 10th inst., at one in the morning, Tturned from the Rue Montmartre ou to the boule- vard, with a view to cross over into the faubourg and get home, as, besides police, not a soul was to be seen on the beulevards; and, as I saw a number of kiosks, benches, &c., pulled down, I anticipated it might be dangerous to cross without jeave, and therefore asked an inspector of police if we might getover. On his replying in the affirmative I and a friend who was with me proceeded; but no sooner ad we crassed the boulevard than a bevy of police- men rushe@ upon us and separated us. We were very rougily handled. I received a violent blow from a cudgel, which must have stunned me but for the protection of my hat, I was then forcibly dragged to the Mairie im the Rue Drououe, and, though I offered no resistance, was kicked aud cuffed. On arriving at the guard house the policeman, who held me by the collar, sent me in with @ kick, out “Au tas (Anglc-—“Get in you beggar!) In the station there were about 660 persons who had been arrested ou the boulevards; a great many among them were badiy hurt, some with biack eyes and swollen faces, ovhers mopping up the blood that trickied down from wounds inflictea by knuckledusters, Most had lost their hats and very few but had their clothes vorn to tatters, At three in the morning we were formed in column, surrounded by potice, Gardes de varis and hussars and marched off Whenever any one of us Wentured to stop or look up a blow and an oath brought us back to a sense of our posttion. We arrived at the Palais de Justice and were tmmured in the Conciergerte, It was then four in the morn- ing. There were about 200 of us, and every class of society appeared to be represented, There were fel- lows whose reckless hangdog features were enough to inspire one with terror and loathing, There were also «highly = respectable — peop'e, merchants, tradesmen, journaiists, a few foreigners among them, an American who said he was em- ployed at the United states Legation. All, without exception, ioudly protested that they had done no harm, and complained bitterly of their arbitrary arrest, Nearly every man was engaged im writing to bis friends, and the jailer, on the recetpt of a small bribe, undertook to forward the letters to thetr destination. All were aw- fully tired, but in the large hall whick we dccupied, there was not @ single bench or convenience to sit down; neither was there any convenience of another description, and as necessity has no law, the result was 48 unpleasant to nose and eye as can well be imagined, At balf-past nine tn the forming we were marched out, and a brown loaf was served out to each man, together with an earthenware platter, into which a spoonful of soup was iadied, the look and smell of which was quite enough for most of us. The platters and brown loaves were converted into seats, and enabled us to get a little rest. The prisoners were greatly cast down, and many of them wept bitterly; a few were exasperated to such a piten that we had to do all we could to prevent their resorting to extremities which might have had very serious conseqnences for us all. At three o'clock we were called out, and received @ ration consisting of @ handful of beans. A great many of the prisoners disregarded both the summons and the dinner. A little after the formality of taking down our names was gone through, each of us being brought besore the kA pl for that purpose, This operation took up not than four hours, during which we had to remain standing, Atseven o'clock our names were called Over; we were divided into cellular vans. No one knowing whither we were to be tranferred, great anxiety prevailed, Some of us mustered courage to ask where we were going, We were brusaily told to hold our es, Ateight o'clock we had reached our destination, We were ordered out of the van, and we learned for the first time that we were in the fort of the Bicétre. We were taken into the case- mates, where it was so cold that we had to walk briskly 1p and down to keep ourselves warm. At ten o'clock We were en by ups of pai K between two files of sold! “4 terore ue registrar, and the of taking down our names and addresses was once more gone vbrough. That over, we were taken back*to the casemates. At the door ¢ach man received a bundle of straw, which we had the most of; tn each casemate there were about eighty men, Nothing remarkable occurred during the night, save that owing to the crowding it got very Warm.

HOLLAND. The Shakspeare of Holland—“Gysbrecht Van Amstol’-Vandel Park—itlow Sund ty te Ob- served—The Capes—A Datch Gala Day—Ua- ual Late--What May be Seen at the Hague. Tus Hague, June 18, 1869. ‘The Dutch are no great play-goers, but in theory they honor the drama more than either the English or the Americans, Their Shakapeare is Joost van Vandel, who fourished in the seventeenth century, nd iL is @ pome of principle at the Hague and at Amsterdam to act his most celebrated play, which is enutied “Gysbrecht van Amstel,” at the com- mencement of evecy year, The gentleman, whose mame appears in the title, Was a semi-mythical hero of Ammsterdam, and the poet has conceived him eyen a little further from history than be stood whén en- trusted ty unassisted tradition, I woul not recom- mend any “adapter” to set about a translacion of “Gysbrechv” into Baglish, Even Dion Boucicauilt, who can turn anytuing into anything, would fall here, The piece 18 coustructed somewhat after the model of Seueca, and the metre ts that of Racire and Corneiile, always unsympatuetic to English ears. AS We are How iu summer ail the principal Dutch playhouses are closed, aud therefore theatrical hom- to the great Vancel is ult out of the question; but a perpetual trinnte ts patd to his fame in the prin. cipal park of Amsterdam, which bears ie name of “Vandel's Park.’ This favorite promenade is, like your Park, a new construction. The old park, open to everybody gratis, was turned into @ zoological garden, which, in the opimon of Datchmen—but don’t belleve them—Is supertor to that in the Regent's Park, London, Now, this conversion, though high- ly conducive to the inierests of science, did not accord with the views of people in general, who preferred a stroll for nothing to a promenade, lions included, charged at the rave of half a guilder per head, ‘dhe “Vandel’s Park” was laid out—and a very pretty alfair it is—with a statue of the poet in the most conspicuous spot, and a bast of him in the picturesque ca/é restaurant, which bas been erected for the refreshment of the luxurious, Talking of the luxurious, let me recommend the pilgrim to the surine of Vandel to cali lor & Klass of “Ad- vocat.” ‘This 18 compounded of brandy, eggs and nutmeg, which may be pronounced delicious. ‘Thougu the principal theatres are, as I have said, closed ab this Season of the year, there are two or turee *Zomer-theatre” open at Amsterdam, on the same principle as the “Sommer-theater? of Ger- many—that is to say, they are associated with a bona fide garden, but after the manner of Niblo's Garden of Broadway, At some of these houses: the performance 1s in French and German; at others in vuten, Just now a Flemish company is acting (in Duteh) the Freuch farce “Nos Domestiques,’? with wonderful spirit. Ido not know whettier this piece ‘was ever transferred (0 America. Some two years ago a version of it was brougat out at the London Surand, with no mart success; bat It might oe popular in the West, 1 it delights the good foik of Alsterdam, Let not the American or English traveller who carries the irrepressible **Murray’? Unaer lis arm allow himself to be misled by lis “guide, philosopner and friend” into a belief that the Dutch are strict observers of the Saboath, They are not one wit inore rigid than the Parisians, and though they are for the most part Presbyterian Calvinists they are no more like the Presbyterians of North Britain than the climate of Holland 1s like that of Siam. As for the performauces at the “Cafes Chan- tants’ of Atnsterdam, they are more grossly mdecent than anytuing 1 ever witnessed in my life, Thanks to the “Grande Duchesse de Ge- roistein”? we have ali of late been more or less initiated into tue mysteries of the cancan; but sull the dress of the ordinary actress or danseuse ts of that ideal kind that refuses to suggest the acvualities of every day life. Now, the che! attraction at one of the Amsterdam cafés is @ young lady from Berlin, who sings (in French) an extremely “fast” song, and who, by a dexterous movement of ner drapery, con- trives to exhibit to the spectators those hsuaily md- den uriicles of apparel which belong to the normal French wardrobe of this haif of the nineteenth century. ‘There are no summer theatres at the Hague. Here the chief place of amusement is the Grand Hotel des Bains at Schevening, the extensive grounds of Which command a superb view of the sea. ‘These grounds are covered with tables and chairs placed to further the consumption of coffee, beer and grog, end on special occasions tne company is enlivened by the performance of a miiitary band. That meial- lic helmet, worn under the cap, wnich is convention- ally associated with feminine Holland, 1s especially prevalent among tne fishing girls of Schovening, and enables them to make a very briluant figure on a Sunday evening. For “work-a-days” there is an un- wieldy bonnet, rightfully likened by Murray to a coal scuttle. The fishers of Holland still believe in storks. 4 stork occupies the chief place in the armorial bear- ings of the Hague, and in the fish market of the same town two or three specimens of the long-legged family are rigidly preserved in a trne spirit of faith. Jt is needless to remark that the stork in Germany and Holland, according to the mythology of tne nursery, contributes to the increase of the popula- tion in precisely the same fashion as the “parsley bed” of England. Yesterday, being the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands, was duly celebrated here by music and fireworks in the “Bosch,” or park. ‘ile Queen is ex- tremely popular; 80 also is the King; but their at- tachment to each other must be of a very peculiar kind, inasmuch as they scarcely ever reside together. Tl very fact that the Queen has her separate palace in the Bosch,” while the regal palace is in the heart of this town, is singular. fHowever, the Orange family, from the days of the first Staathouder, William the Silent, of glorious memory (vide Mr. Motiey’s book), seem always 10 have been rather odd in their matrimonial notions. ‘The fireworks in the “Bosch” last niet were very brilliant. The letter $ (initial of Sophie) appeared in silver fire In the midst of a temple also of lire, on the front of which was inscribed, still in fire, ‘June 17,"" neatly ‘iruring between the years 1518 and 1869, in some par!s of the world plain imdications of a lady's age are rot deemed a part of courtesy, but it seems to be otnerwise 1 Holland; for there is not this morning 4 Dutchman ta all tae Hague who has not been informed, through igneous characters, that Queen Sophie completed her fifty-first year yester- day, tn spite of the strenuous efforts of the rain, whicd was heavy thronghont the evening, to cnt off the source of information. A flery siork Was another conspicuous object in the midst of this birthday soiemnity. The tri-colored flags that liberally adorned the town we interiningied with plain orange-colored banners in honor of the reigning fainily. One of the oldest institutions in connection with a Duich national festival 18 & certain little cake, about the size of a gingerbread nut, Witch ts manutactured before the eyes of the public. A temporary hosteir: containing a couple of situyg rooms, and substan- tial in appearance, is set upin an tncouceivably short time, and in front of this, over a furnace, is a sheet of Iron, dotted all over with little concave pits.

By the by, one of our “guides’—I think It tA the “Continental Bradshaw" —telis us that the stiver no Jonger exists fu Holland. This is not the case. “Stiver” 18 still the name popularly given to the piece of five cents, which 1s equal to one penny Eng- lish. Gold coin is unknown to the country, the larg: est piece in circulation being a large silver coin, representing two florins (or guilders) and a hait and nearly corresponding ia value to the five franc piece of the Frenea, wiica tt closely resembles tn appearance. ‘he druggista’ shops here have a comical sign— its od witha turban, Whether this is @ portrait of some Turk who anctently sold rhubarb in the ssreets, or whether the open mouth denotes an unusual readiness on the part of the Daten to swallow physic, 1 can’t say. Great travellers asthe Americans are, and tond ag they are of making the European tour, it scems to me that this Jateresting country 18 not patronized by them to the extent or its merits, which is (he more marked as Mr, Motiey’s book on the rise of the Duteh Tepublic i# the staudard work on the subject. The camel life of Holland, witn its perpetual bridges, renders it totally dierent f any other part of Europe, with the exception of the more romantic Venice, and there is a conversative spirit in the peo- ly like the ee which makes them look ex: tchmen of 200 years ago. The throngs who filled the cafés last night in honor of the Queen’s birth- day were indeed the ordinary costumes of the nine- teenth century, but the faces of Tenias and pipe aud pot of San Jteen ere abundant, Another advant Holland is that, while it ery ite trouble, he large towns Iying’ as ‘clome te vel le, +08 ClOe LO each other as those of Belgium aad i accessivie from London, At x the ig the Museum, or , containing the “Young Bull’ and he “School of Anatomy,” deomed respectively the master pleces of | aul Potter and of Rembrandt.

Dense crowds were assembled in front of the building and received hini with deafening cheers, « Haying ascended the steps leading to the hal! and beliig re- ceived by the assembled Senate, his Majesty was conducted [0 @ seat, at each side of which the burgo- masters of Bremen took thelr places, Near these were seated the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, Count Bismarck, Senator Albers, General Moltke, Senator Heinecken, Prince » Adal- bert, Senator Mohr, General Von Roon, Senator Smidt, General Von Maunsieln, Senator Schumacker, the Russian General Vou Kutusoi, &c, It would be impossible to describe the grand things at this sumptuous repast, to apeak of the solids furnished by land and sea of this most favored and prodactive region, or of the generous fluids, the most ex- quisite Kheaish wines of choicest crops, averaging in age from fiity to three handred yeara, One thing was evident above all others—namely, that the hosts intended to entertain the king aud suite in right royal style, and in this they succeeded most admi- rably. It was a Lucullean feast, and the enlertain- ers, consisting of the foremost and wealthiest burghers of Bremen, were animated solely by pa- triotism. We are told there are more millionnaires in Hamburg, but wealth here is more generally dif- fused; in fact poverty and distress are hardly known in this fourishing town, and street begging is al- most unheard of. As the banquet proceeded the President of the Bremen Senate, Burgomaster Duck- witz, rose and proposed @ toast to Lis Majesty in the following words:— i Who would not honor and reverence his chief? If this b an individual trait of character, it equally applies to a people, enpecially ir it knows that connected with tte head ie & heart teeming with affection and desirous to make that peoy happy. This is the case with your Majesty, and we, citize: of Bremen, particularly, revere you as the’ restorer’ of Ger- many’s grandenr and honor, and are proud to be citizens of the newiy founded Fatheriand. We are happy to greet the ehlef of the German nation in this our classical ball, which retlects the history of tive centuries, and we regard ‘it as an event which will be entered in’ shining letters upon the records of Bremen. With your Majesty's permission, I would express, in the name of Bremen’s citizens, our gratitude for the honor you have conferred upon this city by your uranee of our veneration and jadly approved of by you, gentlemen, and you will join in the wish that God may pre- serve your Majesty for many years yet in health, as robust and youthful as to-da “Long live h y the King.” The enthustasm created by this toast having some- the King rose and 1 1, as fol- HONORABLE GENTLEMEN—Allow me to reply at once.

Jt shonid be mentioned that in the vast subterranean caves ts constantly kept on hand a most extensive stock of the rarest wines, some of them of vintages 300 years ago, as well as those of more recent growth, bought and sold under the con- trol and supervision of the authorities, who very liberally supply the hospitals aud simuar insticutrons gratuitously. The immense crowd which had previously assem- bied at the square berore the City Hall bad not as Yet dispersed, being eager to get another glance at the notabilities. xhey remamed in position in ex- cellent order, and cheered as heartily as ever as the royal party neared the entrance to the vaults, which was a sign to the police, which body had been hitherto been passive, to form a sort of cordon in or- der to prevent any overcrowding below. One honest Bremen citizen, not relishing this exclusion, and having made a bet with a friend that he would obtain an entrance, pushed past the police and accosted Bismarck with “How do you do, Mr. Bismarck !”? Whereupon the Count, very good humoredly, took fim by the hand, and as they pro- ceeded along he Sti none dared bar his progress, and he thus easily won his wager. There yet remained, as the conclusion of the day’s festivities, a soiree, which had been arrangea by the Chamber of Commerce to take piace in the magnifi- ceut hali of the Bourse, This beautifal building, constructed in Gotitc style, was profusely deco- rated and illuminated with gas for this occasion, At each side of the nave were aliegorical prictures rep- resenting the greatness of Germany, with the motto, “rom Fels, Zum Meer!’ A& dais at one end was in- tended for the royal party, the orchestra being the celebrated Hanseatic brass band, which had ob- tained @ premium im Paris, discoursetl most excel- lent musie. The whole place was one biaze of light, , ea a fatry-rike effect to the exotic plants and Horvat decorations. Tae beauty and fashion had early asserubied, and gatisfaction beamed on every countenance at the cditéMplation ol the gorgeous spectacle. It was just ten when his Majesty and snite arrived, dressed in splencad uniforms, greeted iu the name of the merchants by the Hon.

Then tol- lewed a song, by some eighty ladies, the hymn of victory by Ha ‘@ piece of poerry by the daugiter of ihe Burgemaster and other musical entertata- ments. The King was evidently much pleased, and had friendly words for atl, even for the architect of the butiding. Dancing commencea by his Majesty jeading out the Bargomaster’s lady, Mrs. Duckwitz, and Count Bismarck at the same time honor- ing Mrs, Consul Meyer, Soon waiizing became general, and was carried on with great spirit, not only by the merchants and their families, but by the numerous military and naval officers. In the meanwhtle many persons were introduced to his Majesty, among them General George Doage, United States Consul at this city, who, a8 well as Mrs. Dodge,- was honored with a conversation of some length both with the King and Bismare latter more particularly engaged tn a conve: Of at least haif an hour's duration with the lady, who was exquisitely dressed in a garment trimmed with the national colors. So earnest was the conversation— Bismarck naturally desirous of making the most of an interview with so fair @ representative of the United States—that when the General, in nis ideas of fairness and unpariiality, apprehending that too much of the Count’s time would be absorbed, ri - oned to his lady, it was nevertheless proceeded With until he had told her ali about his admiration for American mstitutions, about his two sons in Bdin- burg, 4c.

The it was accompanied by two iron-clads, which red @ royal saiute on the Viceroy landing. His Highness was ved by Lord Alfred Gene- Te and stad, with @ guard of honor of the ‘out ‘inety-first regiments; Sir Luke ithett and Captain Bruce, Admiralty Superin- dent, being ‘ao in attendance. ‘The. Aistin- fnished party took luncheon at the Lord Warden Hotel, and left by special train at four muautes SESS .00€—CC0CCOCOCrCrr z aes Se EEE ti three o’elock P, M. tor Charing Cross, ander charge of Mr. Eborall, manager, and ent, The train superin' ‘ar- Coaring Cro#s station shorty rived at the before ik, Some preparations had been made occasion, ‘The centr» platform ‘at the western side was covered with scarlet cloth, ‘the roads and approaches were sprinkled with sand anda of metropolitan police, mounted and on te ler the direction of Mr. Superin- Dantop, kept the way clear, On the veranda, under the station clock, a party of epectators awaited the arrival of the traim and several hundred persona, who had orders for ad- mission, were on the piatform. At half-past four o’clock 100 rank and file of the Scots Fasiiler Guards, under the command of Colonel Trefusis, marched into the station and lined the platform next the landing place specially prepared. A full band, including piper, accompanied the guard of honor, Shortly before the arrival of the train the Turkish Ambassador, accompanied by several attachés, the Marquis of Aylesbury, Lord and Lady Dudly Warde, Colone! Mau‘le and Mr. Heary Oppen- heim came on the centre platform, and at a quarter to five the train arrived at the station, The band played the Beyouan Hymn, and the carri in which his Highness had travelled was surrounded by noblemen and geatiemen to welcome the guest. Lord Alfred Paget and Colonel Cavendish accom- panied the Viceroy, who was al.ended by a numerous suite. The Marquis of Aviesbury and the Turkish Ambassador shook hands with his Highness, and after three or four minutes had elapsed the Prince of Wales came to meet the Viceroy, who shook him Warmly by the hand, The Prince and the Viceroy were loudly cheered as they drove out of the station, followed vy four carriages conveying the party to Bucking ham Palace. In the first carriage were the Prince of Wales, the Viceroy and the Turkish Am- bassador. On arriving at Buckingham Palace the Viceroy was received by a guard of honor of the Colstream Gaards. His Highness afierwards paid a visit to Marlborough House, esha iat x Mr. Motley’s rnstructions. {From the Saturday Review.) The summary of Mr, Mowley’s instructions, which has been published with the sanction of the American government, though it contains nothing unexpected, i8 thoroughly unsata- factory. lv would perbaps have been useiess to resume negotiation at present, but the professed hope that the English government will after a time take the initiative might almost be coustrued into @ covert demand of voluntary humi- lation, The passage in the summary which relates to the Proclamation of Neutrality is scarcely in- telliginle, except on the assumption that it is intentionally imeonsistent; but it would seem that Mr. Motiey 1s at the same time to admit that the declaration of neutrality affords no substantial ground of complaint, and to urge Wat nevertheless it resulted in losses whici require reparation. As Engiand has already accepted the only form of convention which has been proposed by the American government, it evidently rests with the Power which has contemptu- ously refused to raufy its own treaty to propose some alternative form of settlement, The President and his Secretary of State are fully aware that claims of redress founded on tie declaration of neutrality will never be admitted as proper subjects for compensation or for reerence, and it can scarcely be doubted that reasonable Americans have been satistied by the recent discussion that the d mand is wholly untenable in Jaw and justice. it i8 perhaps not seriously inteuded that Mr, Mot- Jey should do more than keep the question open uoul Le dey opinion in America has decided in fa- vor of peace or of war. There is nothing to prevent ajust and equitable arrangement but the almost universal hostility to England which, alternately ebbing and flowing but never permanently sabsid- ing, 18 habitually watched and utilized by the man- agers of poiltical parties. If at any future time the majority of the people should wish to termimate od quarrel which has been fastened on England, the government of the day and the Senate can easily give effect to the general wish. The overbearing tone of the instructions to Mr. Motley was probably necessary to suit the national taste, and they indicate no desire of an immediate rupture. His own cold and measured replies to the ill- timed addresses of the Liverpool Chambers of Com- merce have been sharply criticised in America on the erroneous assumption that they exceeded the narrow- est limits of courtesy. On one point at least £ngiish- men may heartily agree with Americans, though from an opposite point of view. It would be a gross blunder to thrust puolic professions of goodwill on a Minister who could not Lng ek the simplest civiliues without exposing himseif to reproof and disavowai. Expressions of friendship to the United States are invariably received with insult, as proofs of timidity or of weakness; and it 18 not fair to ex- pose a diplomatist to the aiternative of being either rude or unfaithful to his trast. The duty of tne English government, if not agreeable, is fortunately simple. . The differences of opinton'which existed as to the policy of Lord Stanley and Lord Clareadon 10 their conduct of the negotiations have lost ail practical importance. A pllability which might have been deemed both excessive in itself and inexpedtent for its immediate object, has proved the incidental ad- vantage of proving to the world that the ultimate failure was not the fault of England. Concession produced constantly increasing demands and a con- tumelious rebuff. There is no danger that the only remaining course of patient firmness will give any just ground for offence, Even American suscepti- bility can scarcely have found any pretext for re- sentinent im Lord Clarendon’s cautious answer to Lord Stratford’s prudent remarks; yet Mr. Sumner and Mr. Reverdy Johnson would perhaps have been surprised to find that they were classed together as the two eminent persons who had done most to remove erroncous impressions. It is perfectly true that Mr. Reverdy Jofnspn elicited the friendiy feelings of Englishmen to America, and that Mr. Sumner gave them an opportunity of show- ing that, if they were willing to concillate, they were determined not to yield to insult arto menace. No simular triumph, voluntary or involuntary, awaits the present American Minister. Even if he shared the desire of his predeoessor to renew iriendiy rela- tions with England, recent circumstances have shown how limited is the effect of his mission, Al- though no envoy from the United States would com- mand more personal respect or esteem than Mr. Motley, there 18 no disrespect in saying that in political position he is not yet the equai of Mr. Reverdy Johnson. The late leader of the minority in the Senate was so uaiver- sally respected by his Cog that they publicly resented an insult which My, Betier, in the conduct of thedmpeachment, had offered with his usual coarseness to the democratic Senator from Marylan |. The confirmation of'Mr. Reverdy John- son’s appointment as Minister to England, at a time when the Presideat’s other appointments were al- most uniformly rejected, was a proof of personal confidence as Well as a preliminary spproval of the settlement which, as the Senate well knew, he wouid be instructed to negotiate. It is impossible that Mr. Motley can receive from his own party 80 pecultar and exceptionable a compitment; but, as it seems that for the present he will have nothing to do, his virtual want of full powers is not a cause for regret. If the convention had been ratified the robable rejection of the Alabama claims by an ar- itrator, WhO Was guided by the rules and prece- dents of international law, would perhaps have em- bittered the dispute even more effectually than Mr. Sumner’s speéch.
