Baron Beust’s Reply to tho Minietor ot Foreign Affairs. VIENNA, August 19, 1869, Baron Beust has replied to the recent note of fierr Thiele, the Acting Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs. He asserta that he thought a verbal explanation suMcient to remove the misunderstand. ing between the two governments and desired to avoid useless correspondence. The Prime Minister insists that what he said in committee was of a pri- vate character. The transactions of a parliamentary committee are not within the control of foreign gov- ernments, He declines to enter into a discussion of what was sald there, but will not withhold his opinions on questions caused by Inaccurate news. paper statements. Referring to the interpretation Carlist Pris Prussian by the Vienna Cabinet of the military treatics between Prussia and the South German States, he saya that in the concili- atory despatch sent to the Austrian Minis- ‘ter at Berlin in March, 1867, nothing was sald as to whether the Treaty of Prague prevented the South- ern States from concluding treaties with the other States of Germany, but it was stated that certain ‘well known agreements preceding the signature of the treaty were concerned, making tt impossible to decide whether the clause relating to the interna- tional independence of the Southern States was omitted as a matter of no importance or because Its importance was so great that it should have been otherwise worded. Baron Beust does not admit that he should be called to account for words which the newspapers allege were uttered by him; yet he is willing, in order to soften and remove any existing unpleasantness, to enter into corre- Bpondence in regard to the conciliatory en- Geavors made on either side during the last year, which have possibly been misconstrued. The circumstance that there had been no intercourse between Count Wimpffen, the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin, and Count Bismarck for some time isalluded to, The despatch explains that this ‘was owing to the alternate absence of both gentle- men from Berlin from the spring of 1868 until the Glose of that year, After the return of Bismarck certain well known, continuous and violent attacks in the public press on Austria gave the Austrian government cause to recommend that Count Wim- Pffen should abstain from visiting Bismarck. The Austrian Premier concludes by declaring that the reproach that Austria intended to prolong her atti- tude of reserve cannot be better disposed of than by referring to the uninterrupted intercourse between himself and Baron Werther, the Prussian Minister at Vienna, PERSIA.

A force sent out by General Quesada attacked a Spanish force moving from Remedios to join General Lesca at Nuevitas, It was the entire force occupying that place. After an cngagement of an hour the Spaniards fell back and attempted to secure their retreat to Nuevitas. Colonel Nevaro, commanding the Cubans, had made preparations for this, and the troops, finding their retreat cut off, again formed, and after @ short en- gagement were defeated. The entire force was cap- tured. The Cuban loes ts reported at eighteen killed and thirty-two wounded, while the loss of the Spaniards waa twenty-seven killed, fifty-two wound- ed ana 182 prisoners. This is regarded as an im- portant triumph, General Jordan sent out @ force to reconnoitre near Trinidad, An attempt was made to capture them, when a fight ensued, which resulted in the de- feat of the Spanish forces and the capture of fifty-six prisoners. On the commencement of the fight over 160 Spaniards deserted and joined the Cubans, and took part in the fight, A small party convoving a train of provisions, near fagua la Grande, it 1s reported, were attacked hy a superior force of Spaniards and defeated and their train captured.

Re compliments General Rosecrans and others who were before the Convention and conciudes as fol- lows:— “Governor Hayes, in his speech at Wilmington, forgot to allude to the fifteenth amendment and his views on that important question. Discussing the finances, he said, ‘We are in the midst of pro- found peace, yet money is scarce and business de- pressed.’ He might have added that employment was dificult to be obtained, labor was badly re- warded, industrial purauita were hampered, enter- prising men engaged in business were standing on the verge of bankruptcy, interest is enormously high, the tariff is oppressive, internal taxation is most unequal, unjust and onerous; that dead capital 1s exempted and active capital and labor are weighed down. Warming with the picture, he might giso have said that for eight y the repub- ican party has been in Speclate poe ‘sion of the government; that a republican retary of the Treasury has now control of the money market of the country, and that he uses his power only to still further contract the currency, increase hard times, buy overdue bonds at one hundred and twenty doi- lara which by law he is entitled to pay at par, petal, taking twenty dollars for every hundred from the taxpayers and giving it to the bondholders.

WASHINGTON. The Whiskey Influenco in thé ronnsyl- vania Campaign. Tho President Anxious for a Victory. Canal Communieation from the Ohio to the Seaboard. WASHINGTON, August 10, 1349, The Peunsyivania Campaign—Covode Trying to Harmonize the Whiskey Men—General Grant Anxious. John Covode, chairman of the Republican State Central Uommittee of Pennsylvania, arrived here to-day and left again this evening. The object of his fying visit was to consult with Commissioner Delano about the operations of the Internal Revenue law in Pennsyivania, The whiskey interest, espe- cially in the western part of the State, tg very in- fuential, and Mr. Covode, as a shrewd party man- ager, is anxious to have it on his side in the cam- peign which is about to open, The whiskey men complain that certain features of the present Whis- key Tax bill, which were intended to punish dis- honest distillers, are equally oppressive upon honcat distillers and injurious to their business. Of course this is chargea upon Congress directly and indi- recy upon the republican party. If there ts not some temporary let up, with a promise of substan- (lal amendment next winter, the whiskey men in Pennsyivania and elsewhere propose to make common eause against the republican party, which they conceive to be the source of their trouble. Mr. Covode’s mission here was to «see if Commissioner Delano could not make some modification in the adminis- tration of the law whereby the hardships complained of by the whiskey men might be at least ameliorated. ‘The Commissioner, it ts understood, could not give Mr. Covode much encouragement. The law, he ays, is so framed that he ts left little or no discretion in its administration, and he must execuve it as he finds it on the statute book. Mr. Vovode 1s quite hopeful of the ability of the republicans to elect Geary Governor of Pennsylvania, though he says the Job will be a big one, owing to a variety of unfavora- ble circumstances. The Pennsylvanians do not pro- pose to ask fora Cabinet appointment at this time. Even if one were to be made the leaders of the party gre assured that Benjamin H. Brewster, who has been spoken of in that connection, would not be se- lected by Grant. The President, who is extremely anxious that Pennsylvania should go republican this fall, will do all he can to aid in the election of Geary, and ali federal office-holders who wish to retain their places are expected to do the same. The Tux on Stock Brokers. A committee of the New York Stock Exchange, consisting of Messrs. Hoyt, Sloane, Greenleaf and Van Schatb, with their actuary, A. N. Lewis, waited on Commissioner Delano and requested him to re- consider his recent decision, classifying them as bankers and requiring them to pay thac tax under the decision taxing money borrowed by brokers for the uso of their customers as capital, The Commis- sioner refuses to reopen the question, having given it full consideration already. Proposed Opei of a Central Navigable Water Route from the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic Seaboard. I have received the following from Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. The committee of the National Board of Trade from fifteen cities of the United States on the subject of direct navigation on a central line between the Western waters and the Atlantic have been in con- tinuous session here throughout the week. They have given searching investigation to every branch of the subject consulting with engineers and statisti- clans on the various questions which have come under review. Commodore Maury, Mr. Croskie, late American Consul at poatmap ety England; ex-Senator Caperton, of West Virginia, and others attended the deliberations and aided them in their inquiries, The committee will probably conclude their session to-morrow. Every branch of the re- port prepared by Mr. Hughes having been passed under review will then recetve final form and shape, and will be printed and transmitted to the Secretary of the National Board for Gistribation to the various constituent boards of the United States. The report will show the extent of inland naviga- tion in the West, and the prodigious expansion which the western ratiroad system has reached. ‘This system of ratlways aud navigation, aggregating 38,000 miles is stimulating production very actively. The lines of railway leading from the interior to the Atlantic are overburdened with business, the Lake and Erie canal water line 1s closed by tce five months the year.

Extensive preparations are boing made at Niblo’a Garden for the production of Boucicault’s last dra- matio sensation, “Formosa, or the Railroad to Ruin," which piece will be brought out at that house about the 1st of September. ‘Arrah-na-Pogue,"” which is now running at Nibio’s, will be withdrawa from the boards at the ena of next week. The drama tn Philadelphia is looking up. The Walnut street theatre in that city reopened for the season on Monday night with a st stock com- pany, and the Chestnut is to follow ault at an early lay. The company at the Chestaout will embrace such names as May Howard, Josie Laurens, May Carr, Minnie Jackson, Mra. D. E. Oreese, Mesars. W. E, Sheridan, Charlies McManus, Jr., John Jack, W. H. Wallis and Vining Bowers. Thero seems to be a prospect in the Quaker Uity of a succession of good dramatic performances suring the present. season, and the broad brim theatrical managers, like our own, will doubtless find it to their advantage to re- vive, from time to time, some of the old pieces which they shelved so long ago to make room for burleaque and the centipedai spectacular, that the majority of them are now almost as good as new to the play- Goers of that flourishing city. With the termination of the present week ‘Lalla Rookh" will be withdrawn m the boaras at Wood's Museum, and the dramatic portion oi the house will be closed for a week or two to permit of the necessary renovation and repairs preparatory to opening for the regularseason. The museum proper wiil remain open to the public as usual, and as Chang Chow Gow, the Chinese giant, and his hand- some wife, take up their residence in that institution on next Monday, there is not the slightest dount but that he will attract a large number of curtous visit- ors, Manager Wood, duriug the season, proposes to play a number of brilliant “star engagements at this house, the interstices between which will be filled up with comedies and novel sensational plays by a regular stock company. A number of new and uulique curtosities will be added to the various col- lections m the museum department, which wiil otherwise be made attractive and interesting to families and students. The Rand Sisters, two ciever actresses from the San Francisco theatres, have been engaged by Manager Wood and will inaugurate the reguiar fail aud winter dramatic season at this house about the 1st of September in a new sensation.
