FRANCE The Fonrth of July in Paris—Dinners, Bans qucts aud Fun—Governor CurtiuePersonal. PARIS, July 7, 1809, The Fourth of July anniversary was celebrated this year in the French capital in a very desultory and scattering sort of manner. For on was No reunion of the American population to mark the return of our great national day by muste and feasting, dancing and speechifying, as has been often done vefore. It would be useless to attempt toexplain the causes that seemed to combine to prevent a celebration such as ought to have been enjoyed in a city possessing a resident American Population of not less than 6,000 souls, and a Boating population of nearly that numver, No one seemed to have any anxiety w assume the labors of preparing for a grand festival, When it was every one’s business no one assumed {t, and the day was allowed to sity by, except by a few ‘Who were determined that a blow out of some kind should be had. Bowles Brothers & Co. gave, on the eve of the Fourth of July, a dinner to Mr. Drexel, the Philadel. phia banker, to which were Mnvited the leading mem- bers of the American banking houses in Paris, Mr. g inclined. The rooma of the club, which have just been furnished and made ready for occupancy, were handsomely decorated with flags and flowers, and presented @ cosey and comfortable appearance. The apartment occupied by the club 1s in the Place Halevy, back, or rather on the side of the New Opera House, and con- Bists of six large, commodious, Well lighted rooms, very handsomely furnished and fitted up. Billiard, and smoktug and reading rooms are to be found, and acosey place for a comfortable lunch is com- ip Ue arrangements, The reading room is upplied with the daily New Youk HERALD and omer leading papers from various points of the United States and Europe. The cellars of the club wil vie with those of the best clubs in the world, The wines, liquors and cigars are of the very best, and sold at reasonable rates, As yet the club 1s not arranged Wilt a cuisine, but that will soon_be sup- plied, §o Laat members May breakfast or dime there iM they choose, The service 1s admirably organized and satisfactory in every way. Altogetuer the Wash- ington Club is just Che thing needed ia Paris, and it canuot tail to become very popular with Americans, A great many Americans went ont to Versailles ob the Fourth to see the grand fountains play and to witness @ mag iicent Diuminawon thereof in the evening. Unconsciously, perhaps, the Maire of Ver Sailles celebrated our national birthday with a splet dor and success buat quite threw in the shade any- thing that we Americans could accomplish, Nota few of our countrymen left the grand scene at Ver- satles tinder the firm tmopression that the Declara- ion of Independence had something to do with it, It Was a pleasant ulusion, aad one that could only have given pain to dispel. fhe Fourta of July really did not expire until the gray moraing hours of the 6th, because we did not get over our dinner at Peters’ until acter the oth had Joied the past, The diner was in every way Wortuy o1 Ue occasion. The rooms were decorated With tags, and at the head of the main salon was a bronze bust of Washingtog, Numerous American flags huns over Ure daicontes, and the arms of our country blazed out im brilliant gas jets, lighting up the street, and setting ali Yaris tial was oa the Boulevard in a freuzy of curiosity. Great crowds collected about the hotel aud listened with pleasure and wonder to tre strains of the Huperor’s band discoursing “Hatt Columbia,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” “the Red, Wiute and Blue,’”? aud other patnioite airs. Mr. Herring, of New York, made a most happy chairman and Kept the company in the best of humor all the evening by his wiity speeches and droll stones, Fr Moore, Secretary of Legation,fodered a toast to the Emperor, aud supported i ti a very meat, ex- pressive speech the toast “fhe Day We Celebrate," Mr, Thomas P. Smith, United Siates Consul at La Kocnelle, re- sponded in a brief buc sturing address, which excited the enchusiasm of the company, After speaking in an eioguent manner of the grandeur of republican institutions be offered a toast to General Grant, Presideut of the United States, bsequentiy toasts to the press, the arts, &c., > responded to by Mr. Kyan for the American press, by M. Hévemy for the Paris press, Mr, Hasie- tne, sculptor, and others. Mr. W.d. Florence responded for the stage and made & most humorous speech, which brought down thunders of applause. Mr Andrews — repil to the toast of “The American ankers.”’ All the speeches were brief and to the point, and everybody seemed de- lighted ¥ ich the maanerin which the dinner passed ft brated the Fourth as gayly and nicely as was ever before done in Paris, thougit the company Was not as large as it ought to have been.

He said they were like the man who dined otf of crows Ona wager—ciey endured him, but did not banker after lam. Senator Rainsey 13 datly expected here to com- Melice Negotiations with the French government to bring about a postal treaty between the wo coun- tries, it is hoped he will succeed, because the pos- tal urrangemeits now are most onerous and uniair, especially on paper postage. The Frencn auvhori- tes have lately displayed willingness to alter the present system, and { trust Senavor Kamsey will find them tn an awlabie and conciliatory mood.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 40, 1869, A strange feeling of mingled giadness and sorrow prevails in both our capitals. We are losing one of the cleverest and most agreeable men of our highest society, evertheiess We fatter ourselves that the United states-wiil accept bim as joyfully as sadiy we part withiim., Mr Catacazy, newly appointed Ex- traordinary Ambassador and Plenipotentiary Minis- terto the Washington Cabinet, will land in New York in the beginning of September. By far the ablest ncmoer of our Foreign Office, the personal friepd and only confidential fellow laborer of lus Exceilency Vrince Gortschakoif, he beiongs by his birwh and position to our very highest aristocracy and is one of our most distinguished statesmen. The designation to this high mission of so active and valued & meinver of our corns diplomatique is a suMctent proof of the importance which the Imperial Cabinet attaches to the matntenance of the most friendly and intimate terms with the people and government of America. Nor is the sacrifice all on the side of the official and business world alone. | ‘Society loses one of its favorites and ornaments in the person of Mrs, Catacazy, whose least claim to universal admiration is her great beauty and royal birth—for she is a born Fitz-James, of Berwick, de- Scendant in direct line of King James the Second of England, and Arabella Churchill, By a strange coin- idence her husband’s mother 1s the last of the tlus- trious line of the Comnens, Thus Rusaia will be represented in the capital of the New World by @ descendant of the great emperors of Byzance and a great-granddaughter of the Stuarts. In addition to these privileges of birth—since, rightly or wrongly, we cannot divest ourselves of the optnion that a long line of gifted and remarkable ancestors exercises an immense influence on the mental and physical constitution of the descend- ants—Mr, Catacazy joins the great political advan- tage of being @ member of the Greek orthodox Church—I say “political,” waiving fc t | ees wiVing Wei she/moment | sys wagb (h ant dgmablesio th tee thisthe,, Brow the purely religious side of the question, because this circumstance, by giving hima political weight and influence tn the councils of the eastern Grecian countries, which Ins position alone as selon of the Most illustrious houses of Byzance and Moldavia Would not ensure him, enables him to unite in his single person ail that ts requisite fora complete and right(ui representative not only of the Kussian interests and sympathies, but of those of the whole Eastera Christian worid—which, I scarcely need re- peat, is dauy more melting into one. Moreover, every diplomatic representative of Russia belonging to the Estabiished Church of the East is, of his very nature, a champion of what { once termed in my pre- codiag letters the far east of Kurepe, and a friend ot America in virtue Of that gréatest of all bonds politi- cal and private, common enemies, Your readers will probably thank me for somo posttave biographical information about the ‘Eastern gontieman," in the new, highest and most compre- hensive sense of the word, Who is entrusted with tue most honorable and wnportant of all our preseat diplomatic missions. Ar, Catucazy, as I said above, is of Greck origin. His graadfather, who had filled the post of Caima kai or Hospodar in the Danubian Principalities, emigrated to Russia after the fight of Prince Ypsi- lanti, 1 1812. ‘The father of our new Minister to Washington became a Russlan subject, and entered the diplomatic career, which he pursued with great honor and briiitaucy while filling the post of our Minister at Athens. In 1843, in consequence of the revolution wuich introduced the constitutional regime in Greece—and in which, it appears, he was Not able to enact as strong a resistance as Was con- sidered tlt for an agent of Russia aud her then pre- vatling political principies—be was calied back and fell into disgrace. It 1s well known that both the Emperor Alexander I, and Emperor Nicholas weré betrayed by tueir personal chivalrous character into an exceeding caampionship of the Meiternich system against tue democratic tendencies of the age, and an unreasonavle suspiciousness of every- thtag that looked like an enforced or voluntary cou- cession to those principles on the part of other gov- eruments. It is well Known also how Russia fared at last with her superstitious adherence to her word and the treatises, while Western Europe, though she bore as conspicuous a part in the Holy Alliance, Managed to shirk her engagements and to throw on Russia the whole odium of what sie was pleased to call our inbora barbarism and retrograde tendencies, Had it not been for this unlucky bias our alliance with America would long ago have been such as 1s now pictured and haved by the mutual wishes of both nations, Mr, Catacazy, Sr, was nov long estranged irom the Foreign Oitlee, A politician whose birt and antecedents so eminently qualided him to be one of the most active and useful of our diplomatic agents in Eastern affairs could not be dispensed witu for any iength of time. He was made a inember of the Senate and became one of Count Nesselrode’s chiet colaborers in the Foreign Ofice, His son, the newly appointed Minister, entered the diplomatic career in is48, His first appomntment was Lo the post of second Secretary of Legation at Wash- ington. At the death of his chief, Mr. Bodisco, he was unexpectedly raised at eran lour years of age to the duties of Charge d’Amaires, and acquitted himseif of them in such @ mauner as to merit the fullest approbation of his government and of American statesmen. ‘The eminent and ever to be remembered Daniel Webster took a pres liking to the young diplomatist, and predicted im & briiiant career. Mr. Catacazy attracved Webster's notice by his lively repartees, as well as by the zeal with which he applied himself to the study of our social and polivcai organizauon in its pro founder bearings, ‘hese studies still more ipspired him with tae warmest sympattues for America, and imbued him with the deep conviction that Russia’s best and surest friend is the great transatlantic re- public, Being transferred in 1454 to other duties, he bad the good fortune to attract, by nis political writings, the attention of Prince Gorischa- kot, who was then at Vienna, where he defended inthe face of the European Conierence the nonor and integrity of Russia. Gorischakom optamed from Count Nesseirode that Mr. Catacazy should be sent to Vienna, and it is from that period that the inti- mate connection between him and tae great Russian Minister began to establish itself, After succes- sively tilling the post of Secretary of Legation at Lisbon and at Dresden Mr. Catacazy was at length attached to Prince Gortschakoil’s Cabinet, where ne Was empioyed on diverent special political errands. From that mgment he bas Laken a conspicuous and most active part in all the great political transac- tions and became in a short time the imperial Chan- cellor’s rigitaand man, Being most energetically supported by the national party be exercised a de- cisive influence ou the attitude ultimately taken by our government in American affairs, nor doubted for one moment the defniuve triumph of the Union, which beer he considerably contribuied to propa- gate in our country; for, while atvending to his diplomatic oficial dates, he did not keep atoof from the press, and several of his political writings on the adairs of Poiand and the Eust excited the general attention of the public, If any proot were wanting of the first rate impor- tance which nowadays attaches to the post of kus- sian Minister in the United States, our government's parung with the most active and intelligent of its diplomatic agents to appoint him to this post would be that proof, Last, but not least, Mr. Catacazy’s nomination gives positive evidence of the vigorous and nove! element which is devidediy making 1s way in our foreiga omice. For he is nota statesinan of the old schoovi, of which ‘Talieyrand and Metternich were the patriarchs and prototypes. He is a genuine and vigorous growth of the new crop of diplomatists, wno take their stand not on tradition, but on practical sense and sound knowledge of, facts and men. We shouid oe very sorry indeed, should the American people tail in.their appreciation of our lavorite statesman, and tne” great and real sacriiice, which 13 prompted by our sincere friendliness and Wisi to unite the bond between the two nations more Ugatuly sili, not be vaiued at its real Wworu, urg (Juiy 1) Correspondence London Dally News.) Waile our own Lords and Commons are wrangling over the disestablisumentof the small Protestant chureh in lead, the autocratic government of this empire has published with calm dignity an ukase by which the hereditary leviticai*character of the Russo-Greek priesthood, numbering ‘nearly 700,000, With their families, 1s forever abolished | Ji any other couutry such a sweeping measure would have constituted either a revolution or a coup @etat. Here it is prepared in silence, unexpec- edly puplisned with the Imperial ' signaturet, and passes almost unobserved amidst the other great reforms of the present reign. ‘These remarks are not meant to be disparaging to popwlar tusuitutions, but rather to fllustrate how litte kulos enlightened autocrats and thetr mims- vers obtain for great measures. Of all the journals in Kussia the Moscow Gazette has alone spoken of the ukase in atone befttmg its solemnity and im- portance, and your readers will probably be glad to have some extracts from it. {t was about the time of Peter the Great that the priestly character first became hereditary in Russia and formed a caste among the lower classes of the population. This saved it trom becoming a theocracy, Wile it lowered the social dignity of the Church. Deprived partly of civil rights this leviucal caste mmereased in numbers and in poverty until it became the chief care of the bishops to devise the means of feeding the clerical protccariat, which, to: some ex- tent, stood towards them in the same relation as tne serfs ofee did to thelr lords. The Church came simply & tneans of providing for the wants of those who were hereditatily attached to her service. Its temples at last came to form part of the dowry of “maidens ol the priestly class’? I may here men- tion that no priest could get a living untli he had married.

The question pending between the Porte and the Pasha of Egypt regarding the Suez canal continues to be the main topic of interest discussed in all clr- | cles here, and to all appearances bis Royal Highness the Khedive seems to Rave but few friends in this capital, as the general wish appears to be that he the tenor of several European journals, however, tt doeg not appear quite as certain that the Viceroy 18 quite as friendiess in other places also, for, notwithstanding the Suitan’s for- mal protest, he continues his tour of invita- tion visits, and his conversations regarding the future political position of the canal, and seems to be received and listened to in some capitals with cautious reserve; in others with friendly favor aud protection. In the meantime the Porte can only wait to see what the Khedive’s next move may be, and how far he may think himself strong enough to throw off the mask entirely ; but except tne favor shown him in some courts turn out to mean actual and material aid against the Porte in case of need, hus Highness may tnd out, when too late, perhaps, that the Porte has the means, as well as the will, to bring him te reason. We hear of new levies of troops in Egypt aud preparations in tue way of naval armaments, and so forth, to meet which the re- sources of tne country are to be strained to the utmost, But were Egypt even in amore flourishing condition than it is, aud were its inhabitauts to side heartily aud freely with their Pasha—which 1s not at all hke- ly—no etlort of the Viceroy contd put him in 18 pone tion to cope with the forces of the Porte, is he must be fully aware of, and 1t is the knowledge of this which renders his present moves incomprelen- sible, chat he is playing a game [or independent royaity is pretty evident, but what cards he relies on. to win the game with, or how far he may be sure of those winning cards, 1s more than anybody seems to know as yet.

Italy, on the other hand, sends the Duke son, with a fect, and Engiand the Prince of Wales, France, the Em- press, But between this and October many changes may take place. ‘the feeling here ts so strong against the Pasha that eveu the small atfair of a signboard over the Egyptian Post Office attracted notice. A new sign- board was ‘put up a few days ago, with the words, “Royal Egyptian Post Oilice.” This was remarked, and orders were immediately sent to tne postmaster to have the board removed, and as it had been put up by instructions received from Egypt, an angry note was addressed to Egypt on the subject, with a request that the incldeat should not be renewed. When relations between Suzerain court and vassal come to this pitch, the least thing may bring on a disturbance, especially if the latver harbors the least Teepe, to increase the irritatioa rather than ap- pease it, ‘The Viceroy’s brother, Mustapha Fazel Pasha, ts expected back here very soon, which is significant also, a8 he had leit fora six months’ tour of plea- sure.

When the Atnerica came over some eighteen years azo, and beut alt the English yachts “hand over hand,” it was understood that she Was the Lastest yacht our cousins could then produce against us, and that understana- ing was not called im question a& New York, in- deed, it was in that belief that our yacht builders ana owners set to Work to dis- cover, and to imitate, the characteristics in which her marked superiority seemed to consist; changed the form of their bows and the trim of their sails—not always with the best resulis— ‘while the America herself, having changed hands and become an English yacht, was “out upon” in sach a fastion as to lose ali her original qualities without getting any new ones in compensation. The Sappho, which wasso handsomely beaten by the Cam- bria round the Wight last year, was declared (after the event) by some of our American contempora- ries to be of litte or no account as a racing cralt, while by experienced critics at Cowes and Ryde it was eld that her defeat was by no means deci- sive, and that in an ocean match, at all potats of wind and in all conditions of weather, she would be a most formtdable antagonist to the strongest and the speediest of her Englisn rivals. However thig may be We trust the transatlantic yachtsmen have sent us this year a foeman undeniabiy worthy of our steel; and that whether the Dauntiess 18 to be victorious or vanquished, we shall have the comfort of knowing that it was no barren victory, or no in- sigatticant defeat. One thing 1s certain, the Dauntless will meet with tne friendliest and tne heartiest welcome in our waters, and we hope will not be sent empty away for lack of competitors in whatever contest she may propose. it to be regretted that the Cambria, whose owner has set so spirited an example, and who hes signalizead himself by the {rank and spontaneous offer to try conclusions with the Americans across the Atlantic, and in their own waters, has, if the records of the present season prove anything, gained nothing—in speed, at least— trom those alterations which were probably mtended to increase her pon powers. Most of the con- tests, it is true, im which she has been cnaaaed dur ing the present summer have been (as it so often happens) mere drifting matches. Calms, or light and battling airs, afford a poor test tor racing cruisers— and the Cambria has always aspired to the dignity of a cruiser; and not of a mere racing machine. As ‘& matter Of Tact, we dare say it would be found that those alterations whica yacht builders are so fond of preasing upon the simplemindedness of yacht own- ers have very seldom inproved the quality of the craft. “Tinkering” is the besetting weakness of yacht owners—and It is @ Weakness Very easily flat- tered and induiged. Nor 13 this always the fault, though it may always be the profit, of the buita- ers; for nothing is more remarkable than the restlessness of yachtmen. “I was well; [ wanted to be better; and here I am,’ would be a fitting motto for many @ racing yacht which has disappointed the expectations ‘of a “tinkering” owner. There are many yachtmen who can never iay a vessel ap for the winter with- out putting her on the patent slip, to be lengthened at her bow or amidships, and generally treated like the Jrishman’s gun—the same weapon, but a new lock, stock and barrel, The consequence too often is that the yacht loses all her old qualities, and adds to them aew defects. Somehow or other she never finds her ‘trim’ again. We do not pretend 10 say that such is the case of the Cambria; but anfortu- nately her recent performances look like it. If it be 80, her owner may be consoled with the reflection that it 18 a very old story, and that it only proves once more that with yachts, as with houses, it is better to build a new one altogether than to add to or alter an old one. So far as tie prospects of an Anglo-American match are concerned, however, there are not want- ing schooners which have proved themseives, in default of the Cambria, qaite worthy to try the mettle of the Dauntiess, or of any other American antagonist, whether on the Channel or across and beyond the Atlantic.

Clause thirteen provided that on and after the ist January, 1871, no archbishop or bishop assuch should be summoned to or be qualified to sit in the House of Lords, An amendment proposed by Lord Clan- carty continues to every living Irish prelate the priv- ilege of sitting in the House of Lords, Clause fourteen provided for the payment to the bishops and clergy of annuities, Sanat in amount to the incomes they now enjoy, ‘alter deducting all rates and taxes, except income or property tax, salaries of permanent curates, payments to diocesan schoolmasters and other outgoings to which such holder is liable by law.” An amendment was carried by the Bishop of gPeterborough to the effect that the annuities should be paid free from any deductions on account of the tax which is now paid by the clergy to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and which represents an annual sum of £19,000. On the motion of the same prelate it was resolved ‘hat no deductions be made for visitation fees and other payments for the maintenance of registrars and ecclesiastical courts, ‘On clause twenty-three, which proposed that. with the consent of the incumbents and the future repre- | sentative body of the Church, individual annuities might be commuted Ay the payment to that body of a lump sum representing their present value, Lord Carnarvon carried an amendment providing that the capital sum to be patd by the commissioners should be equal to fourteen times the yearly value of each income or life interest thus dealt with, and that in- dividual incumbents should deal with the representa- tives of the Church body, ang not with three commissioners, Clause twenty-seven pon that on the applica- tion of the new Church body, the glebe houses shoula be vested In them on the payment of ten times the annual value of the site of such ecciesiastical rest- dence estimated as land; and that when there was a building chi on the same they should have the Option of paying either that charge or ten times the annual value of the restdence, with the garden and curtilage, as estimated by the genei tenement valuation. On the motion of Lord Salisbury all the words Feantring payments to be made ior the par- sonages and gi were omitted. Clause twenty-nine Gxed the year 1660 as the date at which private endowments were to be reserved for the Church. The Archbishop of Canterbury moved that 1660 be substituted for that date, and that the commissioners should be authorized to decide what endowments were private upon evi- dence not strictly legal. Lord Granville offered a tump sum of haif a million to extinguish all private endowments, and the archbishop withdrew his amendments. The government proposal has yet to be decided upon. Another amendment of the arch- bishop's, conierring on the Irish Church the royal grante or Ulster glebes without price was passed. Clause sixty-eight authorized the appropriation of the syrplus to the support of infirmaries, hospitais, lunaticsasylums, reformatory and industrial schools and other benevolent purposes. An amendment car- ried by Lora Cairns omits these words and leaves the surplus to be appropriated as Pariament may bere- after determine. The Abyssinian War, The House of Commons Committee, recently ap- pointed on the subject of the Abyssinian war, as- sembled on the 7th inst. in committee room Ne. 12. The committee consists of Major Anson, Colonel Barttelot, Mr. baxter, Mr. Beaumont, Mr. Oundish, Mr. C, Denison, Mr. Grant Dut, Mr. Eastwick, Lord Elcho, Sir J. Elphinstone, Sir Jonn Hay, Mr. Holms, Mr. Howes, Mr, Mundella, Sir Stafford Northcote, Sir F. O'Brien, Mr. Seely, Mr. ©. Turner and Mr. White, Mr. Candish, M. was elected chairman. Sir Stafford Northcote. Bart., was called and a history of the [asa which place in the contract relative the war. The decision to take steps was made on August 14 A telegram was sent to Bombay directing Sir R. Napier to make immediate preparauons and to demand from King Theodore the delivery of the captives. He made the general arrangementa, put the details were left to the Indian authorities. ' Several sugges- tions were made to the government in reference to the expenses of the expedition, but he could not say, that he had anything like an exact estimate. Sir Stafford Northoote proceeded to say that the esti- mates presented in ber, 1867, were two mil- @ force on the shores of the Red-Sea, That was that was asked for, but Mr. Disraeli estimated that another militon and @ Lalf would be required to carry on the expedition to the middle of March. Afterwards it was st that four millions might be yan Beveral members put questions of witness, waen he he really could not under- stand the fs he of them. He should be happy to give any information on matters of fact, but if he was expected to argue the estimates he should de- cline. Upon this the room was cieared. On the ad- mission of strangers, the chairman said that no doubt the ultimate cost of the expedition was very much in excess of the original estimate. The whole cost would, no doubt, eventually reach between eight and nine millions. In answer vo Mr. White, Sir 8. Northcote sald that 8 carte blanche was given to the Governor of Bombay, and if the cost had been twenty millions the government would have paid it, By Mr, Baxter—He knew that sir S. Fitzgeraid had anticipated that the ex. penditure would exceed the estimates—that it would be very great. In answer to Sir J, Elphinstone, he said he certainly was surprised at the expenditure caused by the Abyssinian expedi- von. He never Knew a war in which the estimates had not been largety increased. Colonel Barttelot— Do you regret tue large expense? Sir S. North- cote—Certainly not. If we had sent fewer men and fewer transports the campaign must have been longer aud might not have proved successiul, Mr. White said be did not quite understand to whom the carte blanche was given. Sir 3, Northcote said it was ants that the Governor of Bombay and the Commander-in-Chief sould act in full accord, and, therefore, the carte blanche was really for the Com- mander-in-chief. verhaps it would be more correct to say It was sent to the Governor of Bombay in Counch. The committee then adjourned. =~ Trades Union Legislation. The following are the opinions of a few English Journals on the subject: — The Datiy News suys that the reception which the Trade Union bill of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Mundelia met: mons, and from the government speaking through the Home Secretary, will strengthen the confidence of the working classes in the reformed Parliament and the administration of Mr. Gladstone.

Mr. Murray had srplied, for two summonses—one for ® common assault and the other for an offence at com- mon law, provoking him to fighta duel, Mr, Murray, on being called, was subjected to a cross-examina- tion by Mr, Giffard that appeared to try his bail and severely, He declined to answer the question whether he had not a paper called the Queen’s Mes- senger. To the question whether he wrote a certain article—the oue reflecting on Lord Catington—he snswered “No.” A number of let in manuscript and a corrected proof of an article were then shown to the witness, but he de- clined to say whether they were in his handwriting.

The Irish Protostants and Their Religion. irom, the Lesietend Review All these tierce Irishmen at Chesterfield House and elsewhere keep asserting and howung over the mev- itable ruin of Protestantism in Ireland. They take it as indisputable that their religion must die out unless {t i8 provided by the State with an enormous amount of money, They speak of themselves as they were converted Jews at Jerusalem, and could only be kept converted if they got their plastres regularly, What an uncommonly poor religion Irish. Protestantism must be if Sie: are right! Here is a religion which has had all the advantages of State support for three centuries, which 1s professed by persons holding nine-tenths of the Jrish soil, and which, as its friends alleze, is secured by the impas- sloned support of allthe most intelligent, thrivis and prosperous part of the Irish tlprap es and yel itis going to die out like the wick of a burned up candle if it is now placed on an equality with other religions, Supposing the Irish Protestants really be- Heved in Trish testantism, would they dishonor their religion by the most distant approach to stating anything of the sort? They profess, further, to believe that besides these great ‘external and mundane advantages they have got the over- whelming spiritual advantage of being in exclusive possession of the truth, The Gospel in its purity w committed to their sole charge, and yet this embodi- ment of truth, this genuine, unadulterated Gospel, backed up by almost all the landed wealth of tne country, by the inherited traditions of centuries and by the vast preponderance of Lrish education and Irish industrial energy, 18 to melt away like dew before the sun, unless the secular arm of the State will throw down all {ts adversaries before it. No body of sincerely and moderately intelligent Pre- testants ever before spoke with such outrageous con- tempt of Provestantism. Ifthey are right they have got hold of the most puny, ricketly abortion of a re- ligton that ever offered itself as the child of the spiri- tual loongings of civilized man. Is it true, then, that they are not sincere Protestants, or that Protestantism is the sickly ward of the State they represent it to be? There is no reason for believing either proposition. They are, doubticss, honest Protestants, and Protestantism is, we may trast, buil¢on agolid rock, But the fact is that the peculiar history of their chutch has nursed them irom their cradie into a habit of regarding Protest- antism, not as an expression of eat and intel- lectual truth, but as an embodiment of political supremacy. ‘They heid it as the Normans held the fiefs and manors and honors of Sanguered. England. ‘To be a Protestant in Ireland ts not to entertain cer- tain views as to the destiny or duties of man, but to enjoy a Kind of patent notability. Let us hope these Irish Protestants may themselves some day come to bless the misunderstood and unappreciated friends who, against their will, wui have taught them to be- gin to look on Protestanism as a religion, We have not, We own, much hope of the Rev. John Flana- gan. He will, wetear, go down to his oolite grave cursing Mr. Gladstone and the House of Commons, and possibly the House of Lords tuo, and the whole nature of things in the British empire, because his enemies have tried to free him from the illusion that in this world and the next he must necnssarily be Justified because be has the battie of Boyne to his credit, But milaer men and a younger generation may show themselves more accessible to the whis- perings of reason, and may see and rejoice tn the splendid opportunity they have given them of push- ing forward Protestantism on its own tntrinate merits. SPAIN. Don Carlos and His Manifesto, {From the London Glove, July 7.) The Spanish papers have poe a manifesto of Don Carlos in the shape of a letter to his brother, who is a zouave in the Pope's service, He declares that he does not present himself as 8 candidate to the throne, as he considers himseif king by right, and only wishes the confirmation thereof b) love of his people. With the concurrence of a Cortes and of ali the conservative elements of the country, he will give Spain a fundamental law the terms of the letter he wrote some time ago to the sovereigns in Europe. Every age has ita legitimate wants and natural aspirations. such has been destroyea, and very littie reformed. AlL legitimate interests and all reasonabie opinions founded on truth during many centuries must be properly attended to, Spain requires the authority of the law. She understands that the religion should be tree, She is decided to mamtain Catholic unit} it is the symbol of her glories, the spirit of her iawt it is the holy tie of concord between all Spamiards. Spain desires a true king and an incorruptible Cortes, not an assembly of deputies employed by servile majorities or factious tminorites, If the revolution pretends, to put the ue provinces on the same porn as the rest of Spain, he who with the Spanish people has a dislike to centralization would ‘Wish that the interior régime of the latter were simt- lar to that of those fortunate and noble provinces. He wishes for Spain the liberty derived from the gospel and founded on just laws. ‘The king must be for the people; he must be the first gentleman in the kKingdom—the father of the poor and guardian of the weak. The financial question 13 all-important. ‘The finance and credit can only be saved by the legitimate king giving the example of strict economy, suppressing or diminishing at the same time ministers, provinces and employés, moraliz- ing the administration, promoting agriculture and commerce and protecting industry. In a nation which to-day is very powerful industry and finance, m years gone by, Were in great decline, the cours set the fashion, which was followed by all classes, of dressing with clothes exclusively manufactured in the country. Industry thus vivifled was the origin of the restoration of the finance and of the prosperity of the kingdom. He considered tree trade sppited to Spain a fatal error; it has been repelled both by France and by the United States. Progress, is his formula. The people m they are told that they are with protection, are deceived w! “sovereign; but virtue and knowledge constitute the true nobility. Law must protect the beggar as well asthe peer. If the ancient law 1s not deemed sufficient, new ones shall be enacted to avoid any abuse of the upper and wealthy classes against the poor and humbie, who ought to be protectea by gov- ernment; it is, besides, the duty of the latter to pro- cure instruction to the lower Classes, thus enab! i | them to aspire to the highest posts In the State. Ol en took care of the poor; not so the revolution. The people wiil at iast perceive that a Christian mon- archy can do in their beha!! what they cannot expect: from 300 mock kings disputing in a boisterous as- sembly. The leaders of parties aspire to honor, riches or power. What else can 4 Christian king long for in this world than the weliare of his people? Nor what can he prize more than the love of his people? A great responsibility faiis on him who will undertake to restore things in Spain. Born with a right to the crown, he thinks it his duty to accept this responst- bility; he feels that with the aid of God the Spanish people and himself will work wonders which will give him fame in future ages. He concludes, beg- ging hs brother to invoke “from the Pope, our spiritual king, nis apostolical benediction for Spain and for me.” This manifesto is supposed to be writ- ten by Sefior Apariciz Guyarro, a staunch Absolutist, who has been a deputy in various jegislatures dure ing Queen Isabella’s government, He was a friend of her's, but his principles are decidedly in favor of Don Carlos.
