approaches from the West to this great city it will find it impossible to meet those terms. It ‘will, therefore, either have to give up its grand plans for the west side of the bay, or ‘it will dave to make its appeal to Congress and to the power of the geaeral government to regu- late commerce ‘‘between the States.” The Opening of the Relchsrath—-The Em- Perors Speech. This is the season for the opening of Parlia- ments, Congresses, Reichsraths and things of that sort. We have had the Emperor Napoleon's speech on the occasion of the open- ing of the French Chambers, We have had President Grant’s Message on the occasion of he opening of the United States Congress. We have just had by cable telegram outlines of the speech of the Emperor Francis Joseph on the occasion of the opening of the Austrian Reichsrath. We have had other speeches of a similar kind from other quarters. They have all been able, and more or less io the point. Our present business, however, is with the speech of the Austrian Kaiser, Austria has an insurrection on her hands. The Emperor is not prepared to let Dalmatia go; but he is in favor of conciliation, so far as conciliation is possible. Internally the Austrian empire is in trouble because of the conflicting claims of the different nationalities of which the empire Is composed, AH the rest of the world is centralizing authority. Centralization has long been the dominant idea in the governments of Europe. It is the dominant idea of these Uniied States. Decentralization has begun to express itself in France. It is not without warm advocates all the world ‘over. But Austria is the only great Power in modern times that has honestly made the experiment’ of uniting imperial power with national, or, as we should call it in this country, State rights, Mungary is part of the empire; but Hungary is virtually an independent kingdom. Hungary, however, has no more right to autonomy than Bohemia, and Bohemia asserts her rights. It is not different with the other kingdoms and pro- vinces of the empire. How far it is possible to go in the direction of dividing authority is a quesiion of some difficully, he exepri- ment in Austria has so far worked well; but it has not been so successful as to reuder cau- tion unnecessary. To the different nationali- ties, therefore, the Emperor is not unwilling to grant important concessioas; but much as he is willing to please, he distinctly announces that the autonomy of the provinces will be re- spected only so far and go long as it is found compatible with the maintenance of the unily and power of the empire. From the point of view of Francis Josoph this ig just and honest. We may differ from him, but we cannot blame him. The experiment in which he is engaged is one in which we, like other nations, have some interest. How far central national au- thority is compatible with provincial or State independence is a question not yet by any means solved. Light from any quarter ought to be welcomed. It is gratifying to learn from the Emperor's own lips that Austria is on the best of terms with all foreign Powers and that the aspect of affairs in Europe is peaceful and satisfac- tory. This, perhaps, is the best answer to those dreamers who are perpetually discover- ing new and dangerous alliances. The Euro- pean Powers are friendly with each other. By some this friendship is interpreted on principles which are at once ridiculous and absurd. If all the alliances of which recently we have heard were facts Europe, in place of being a divided would be a united and happy family. No one can deny that Europe has much trouble on hand; but the trouble is na- tional, not international—internal, not exter- nal, In spite of the troubles in Ireland, in France, in Austria, in Spain, in Portugal and elsewhere, the nations are at peace with each other. On the whole the Emperor's specch is reassuring.

Bull of Pope Pius the Ninth—Exhortation to the Bishops Assembled im the Council—Exe ecutive Management of the Assemblage— What the Prelntes May Do—The Right of Debate aud Precedence. Rome, Dec. 14, 1869, A Papal Bull of much importance has just been issued in the Holy City by Pope Pius 1X. The Bull fixes a strict seal of secresy on the pre- lates who are assembled in the General Council, and also establishes the regulations for the guidance and rule of the proceedings of the assembiage. In the exordium the Holy Father exhorts and adjures the biahops to live in the spirit and practice of the car- dinal virtues of charity and humility, with sobriety ond a serious contemplation of the dignity and reverence of the occasion during the entire time of the meeting. He declares that although the assembled prelates and patriarchs enjoy and have the right of making propositions to the entire ‘body at any time, the fact of the Council in its essentials belong only to the Head of the Church and the Sacred College and Eeclesiastical Court of Rome, as expressed in the words ¢@t nos ec ad sanctum sedam. He desires and exhorts each one of the most reverend fathers to think and consider it bis duty to make proposi- tous in the Counetl, bat only on the following con- ditions, viz,:— Firet—That such propositions shail be made in writing and submitted for scrutiny privately—or before beiag placed for debate—to a council com- mittee of bishops, named by the Pope beforehand, and charged with the duty of exanuuing whether the resolutions are in accordance with Church discipline, Secona—That all propositions so offered shall have for thelr object, in some manner stated, the general interests of the Church, and not the Interest of any one particular diocese of the Church. Third—That each resolution shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the motives which in- fluenced and led to its presentation. Fourth—That the resolutian or resolutions shall in each instance be conched in words and language and intent so as to be made strictly conformable to the spirit, teachings and traditions of the Holy Catholic Church. His Holiness, by thts Bull, imposes a bond of secrecy on every person concerned with the con- ciliary labors. He also fixes the rule of order of Precedence during thie proceedings of the body, the prelates ranking in the following degrees:—Cardinal bishops, cardina! priests, cardinal deacons, patri- archs, primates, archbishops, bishops, mitred abbots and generals of monastic ordérs. Tne Pope authorizes the appointment of certain fathers designated ten in number, who are to be charged with the adjudication and settlement of all contestations or points of difference arising among the reverend fathers in the Council at large. He appoints also the oficers of the Council, and in this names as legati or proesides over the General Con- gregations, or Council committees, the Cardinals de Reisach, of Vienna; de Lucca, Bizarrl, Billo and Capaiti. Right reverend fathers desiring to har- angue the Council Assembly must have been first authorized by the aforesald legati to do so, and this authorization must be had on the preceding even- ing, at least. All matters relating to Church canons or canon law must be submitted to the members of one of the four Commisstoners—on Faith, Disci- pline, Religious Orders and Oriental Affairsa—which have been duly appointed and made public. The members of each of these several four commissions have been chosen by the bishops themselves, but each commision 1s presided over by a cardinal named by the Pope forthatduty, The Bull prohipits the most reverend fathers from absentiung them- selves before the conclusion of the Council, and authorizes and permits them to reside out of their several dioceses and places of local charge during the whole period of the session of the Council. A majority of the bishops are, it 1s sald, dissatis- fied with many of the provisions of the Bull. The Empress of France and the Pope.

AMUSEMENTS. Firra AVENUE TUBATRE.—The atiendance at thig theatre on Monday night on the pro- duction for the first time there of ‘Don Cwsar de Bazan’ was not very promising, finan- cially, nor, a8 a recognition of the talent engaged for the occasion, very complimentary. This fact, per- haps, may have bad something to do with the evi- dent want of spirit manifested by the company. Mr. H. L, Davenport in the leading part was evidently at sea now and then, and was fain to catch the promp- Ler’s cue, but wita all the quickness and nouchalance of tue experienced actor he was “‘ulmseil again” and managed to throw suillcient dash and reckiessness tuto the charactor, with some fine touches of feeling and manly pride ag to secure for the whole piece a favorable recogaition and for himself the piaudits of the audience. In the absence of Mrs. F. S. Cnanfrau the part of Maritana was hastily assumed by Miss £inel, who acted the part very gracefully. Miss Davenport, as Lazarilio, dressed the part superviy aud acted with feeling and spirit. On the whole “Don Casar de Bazan,” wuich wwl be on the bills again for Friday evening, is worth witnessing as rendered by the Fifth Avenue company. The de- parture noticeable on Monday night trom the true text of the comedy will thea no doubt be rectified and tie actors be More Conyversaut with their parts, ‘The farce of the ‘Poor Goose’ brought the eventug’s eutertainment to & cise.
