Napoleon’s Delay in Convoking tho Legtsla- ture—Partinmentary Indepeudeace Advoe cated—Public Opiuion ef the CrisismRevoe lation @penly Canvassed, By mail we baye news deiaila from Paris dated to the evening of the 7th of October, As might ve expected there Was an immense amount of discon- tent expressed in most circles of political society at the protracted daie dxed for the meeting of the Chambers. The Paris D’dats writes thu: The decree of convocation which had been spoken of for sono days has at length appeared in tie Jownal Opiciel, The Senate and the Legislative Body wiil mest on the 29tbof November. It is some- witat late, and the most Zealous defenders ot the government wili ligve some dificuity in demon- Straling tiat this time it has desired to anticipate the wishes of the public. they wii certaimy have the recourse Of saying that ifs dignity required it not lo appear to yield to pressure, which conia be compreliended if the question concerned an abso- lute goverrment of Divine right, bat which is @ ceuplete fatiure of iogic When that reasoning fg applied to ao representative one, the issue of universal suffrage. Tho duty of # govern- ment of iis nature 1s, in fact, to incessantly consult pubhe opmion and obey it, That maay be described as yleldiag to pressure; but that pressure has noth- ing which is not very legitimate, and in ceding to tt Q representative government is performing in part In accordance wita the spirit of its origin, But the Jact 1s manifest to every impartial mind that the country asked for @ prompt convocation of the legisiative body, and yet the decree inserted this morning in the Journal vyiciel, and which fixes the meeting of the Par eut for the 29th of No- vember when We are still oniy at the sd of October, postpones for two mouths the legitimate Aspirations of the couutry, What does the govern. Ment hope to gain by this detay? We do not know, but we think that the Deputies of the oppos'tion who proposed to go On the wéth of October and Knock at the doors of the Chamber will renounce that Manifestation. The goverument has played their game; they have nothing inore to do tua to leave MW the diacreatt of a delayed convocation which will assurediy produce a bad Napression outside the OChaimber, and wil onty serve to render the situation of the present Ministry more aificult in presence of the representatives of universal suflrage. ‘The manifestation projected for the 20th would hence- forth not only be dangerous from every point of view, but more—ridiculous; it would nave for tnevl- Vable result to come to the aid of the government, and in some sort Lo cover tae fault it nas just com graver one which Would turow dis- sition ab the moinent of its entry at the country asks of it Yo retalinie on the irivouty of the Ministry by par- Hamentary As tne gover & won't take the advice of its own supporter, the Peuple Francais and faire giv jet the oppe act upou it, The Jeeps s:i—Ihe gove made up its mind and announce: & decree inser sisiahive Body are c t Of November, This is no mais we repeat, the 29th of November. We fear that this resolauon, which hardly realizes pubuic e: aiion, will pre: duce an w rable i lo doubt, if we consider that, according to the original iatention of the Ministers, the prorogation was to have been still lurther proionged unui bee r, Or perhaps J ary, the decree couvoking those assemblies’ may considered a8 a sort of satisiaction to publ Opinion. But many persons will consider ti concession & very fstuall one, if not dex gory. The government seems not only to lave intended to avoid the date of Gctober 2 but also to defy it While giving way a little, it also appears to wish to make the pavlc believe, and this with some ostentation, tat it Tying owt its own vic it bas not sideration the course advoc tu campaign. NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1869.—TRIPLE SHEET, incorrect. However tt may be, the Ministers appear to have had so gtrong a sense of the gravity nian tho decision taken that M.

Fresh Facts and Reports. Galignani’s Messenger of Paris, of the oventag of the 7th of October, reperts:~ A fresh Hight has been thrown on the rela- tions between Traupmann and Joan Kinck by a letter just fouad in & book in the houso at Kouwbatx, and suppesed to have been placed theve a5 & mark or by accidont. In it Traup- mann invites’ Kinck to arrange his affairs so as to arrive at Boliwiller on the 25ta of August, and promises to meet him at the station, There remain consequentiy, little doubt tinat tae father was mur- dered in the neighooriood of that town, and the space over which @ search should be made for the body is consequently circumscribed by the dis- covery. Traupmann appears to be beginning to noderstand tat the Unding of the corpse of Gugave Kimok renders inadmissivie his system of deitnce, according to which the family had been murdered by the husband and eldest sou. tie thereforo appears to be in a fair way 0f making a complete coniession. While the police of Soultz, Cernay and Guedwiller are pursuing wnelr investigations the search for the wody of Kinck is being continued in the marshes and ponds tn 8 neighborhood. The euvirons of Boliwiller ave very favorable for & crime, as thick woods extend around some 4ieep ponds, well stocked with fish, by which the body, if concealed ‘here, would be partly devoured, Or ab least considerably damaged. Inquiries are being made in the direction of Namur and other paris of Belgium, but there are littic hopes of dis- covering the remains of the elder Kinck anywhere bat in the district comprised between Kollwiller, Souttz, Ollwiller and Cernay, where the researches shouid be concentrated, Among osher reports cur- rent in that neighborhood, it is said that Traupmwon ud Kinek were seen drinking together at Beil willer, HAL NO Subsequent traces Of tie letter existe sen ab & uultz On the 12th—that is, after the sup- or of Kinck.

It was resumed ta te examination rooi of the court yes*er- day, Mr. Shearman, couusellor, Broadway, appear- ing for complainant, and Mir, Burke, partner of Mr. Kapp, fer the defendant Tile frst witness called by Mr, Shearman was 4 Mr. A, C, Almond, who said—I am agent in the Secona auditor's oflice in the Treasury Department at Washington; I have a bounty order for $136 06, payable to Mrs. Augusia Laumann; the orcor tsa regular bounty order and was sent in the regular way Irom ti3 olice. (The document was put th as evifence.) Exammed by Mr. Borke—I am tn charge of the division for the detection of frand and errors in the payment of bounties; I have beea thus engaged for eight years: | investigated Unis case and the ofles was satisfied at the time that the party had received the money, and the office took no action except this, that during the ponding of the mvestl- gation the certificates for other claims were wi held from Mr. Kapp, but were afterwards continued as ustlal; I tuvestigated this mat. ter at the request of the government last week, and also at tho request of Mr. Kapp; T ascertained that the signature of the attesting wit ness to the assignment oi the bounty Was Gustavus Baumann, aud ft found that he died the 6th of April, 1804, J found this not only from complainant's Lidie record, but also from tie testimony of the compiatn- wnt at ber own house. From the examination of @ packet of letters, and which I compared witn the signature, lam satisiied that this Is not a forgery. ‘as toid me by the parties in the house that Gua- tavus Baumann was in the ofice of Mr, Kapp avous three or four weeks before his death. ‘The witness produced letters dated August an@ ember, 1968, from Washington, in which the couplamnant lad applica for this money to the Trease ury Department, The Departinent thea investigated {t and wrote to Mr. Kapp, stauung they were sausiicd as to the payment, Augusta Paumann deposea—t have signed papers only once in Mr. Kapp’ office, only in @ paper, not jo a book; I never signed any other papers either at Mr. Kapp’s ofiico or elsewhere; the first ume I weas Mr. Francis H.

Mr. Kapp and Mr. Zitg were both men of reputation, not only in this country, but in Europe, as lawyers. He could scarcely content himsolf witn denouncing this procedure verbally; he should be glad to have the Lag arin of administering @ cas- Ugation physically, for to denounce theas two men ag [orgers Wax more than ougiit to be endarod. ‘Mr. Shearinan, after stating that Mr, Kapp and the complainant were strangers to bin until this case arose, and that the allegation that this case was un- dertaken for political motives was utterly ground- less, said that much bad been said by defendant's counsel which had notitng to do with the case. ‘The charge remained unanswered, The complatnant had not received her money, she had only signed one paper, she had executed no power of attorney nor made any assignment of the bounty ciaim. Untit defendant's counsel had proved that Mr, Kapp had this authority lis signature to that document was unauthorized, and was, at least, forgery iu tho third degree, i . Burke said he should wish to place Mr. Zits and several other witnesses on the stand to repu> fate this “vile charge” and to justify Mr. Kapp. ie had no doubt thatthe Court would @& ouge dime miss the case, 4 Judge—i will adjovrn the case unttl ten o'clock to-morrow (Tuesday) morning, aad tien givo my decision.
