Is tHe Rervstio ‘Goma To vHE.

Imperial Interest ia the Wrance-Prussiau™ ‘Was~Arming for the Advance—The Hami- Matton. of France an Opportunity. ‘ Lonpow, Oct. 81, 1870. There wag @ general decline in the Lonaon stock market to-day, in consequence of the fact thata Cabinet meeting was called for the purpose,as is Understood, of considering what. steps should be taken in regard to the continued and formidable armaments of Russia. I¢ is stated that Russia has now 600,000 men under arms and ready to take the fleld in the western pro- vinces of the empire. The story of @ secret treaty between’ Prussta and Russia relative to the Eastern question has been re- vived at Vienna with much feeling and'a good deal Of clrcumstantiality. Itis stated by the Neue Prete Presse of Vienna, in an. editorial referring to one already published by that journal on the 4th of Oc- tober, that ‘‘the suspicions long felt in regard to the deceptive character of the silence ao rigidly pre- served by Russian diplomacy during the Franco- German confiict are fast becoming certainties.’ It ig now alleged that in tne event of a peace hu- ‘Miliating to France Prussia has bound herself by a secret treaty, signed at Wiesbaden, tn July last, be- tween Prince Gortschakoff and Count Von Bismarck, to support the revision by Europe of the treaty of Paris and the liberation to Russia of the Black Sea with the Dardanelles, This 1s expected to be the price demanded by Russia for permitting Germany to move untram- melied upon France. It 1s further aMirmed that as Bussia does not care to leave the fulfilment of this treaty to the close of the war, she is now insisting that, im @ treaty with France, Prussia shall not secure either fortresses or a serious reinforcemenc of her strength on the side of the Rhine, the Russian Giplomatists regarding it as assential to the safety of Poland and the progress of the Russian emplre westward, that Germany should be left more or less exposed to pert! from the side of France. In short {t is believed in Vienna, and the signs are to-day that itis beginning to be believed in London that Russia, having led Germany on thig far in the war until her primary object, the prostra’ tion of France, has been accomplished even more completely than was ever hoped or ex- pected, bas meanwhile been preparing herself quietly, and is now prepared to exert sucha Pressure on both combatants as shall secure to her all her objects in the East, without imperilling her Enropean weight. It is called by the Neuve Fret Rome, as @ part of the alleged treaty of Wesnaden, that in the gvent of a successful French invasion of Germany, Russia bad bound herself to intervene aud provent the dismemberment o: Prussia. Le Siiuation,the imperialist organ in London, affirms to-day, as is supposed on the authority of the Duke of Gramont, the existence of the treaty of Weisbaden here alluded to. Russian Preparation and Prussian Activity. By mail from Europe, of the 19:h of October, wo learn that a correspondent of the Pau Mall Gazette, at St. Petersburg, narrates an incident character- istic of Prussian diplomacy, which ts said tohave caused no small alarm in Russian military circles. After the war of 1866 a number of Prua- sian oMcers were, with the coneent of the Berlin Cabinet, employed in various military departments in Russia to assist in the organization of the army, and while aciing in that capacity had the fullest opportunity of making themselves ac- quainted with the weak points of the military system. A few months ago three of these officers were employed to make an accurate survey of the whole of the southwestern districta of Russia, 4nd performed the duty to perfection. A series of Maps have been engraved from their drawings, but after the departure of the officers to join their corps on the outbreak of war with France it was dis- covered that they had taken with them all the original tracing, which, in case of war with Russta, would be invaluable to tne Prussian military depart- ment. The pi of such & war, the correspondent ays, is much feared at St. Petersburg, and there fas of late been a complete change in the tone of the Russian administration, no measure being omitted to conciltate Germany.

He stood near the centre of the room, with two of his deputies, Messrs. Kimball and Chesney, on either hand. Thetadies stood at the-rear and to one side, the gentlemen im a dense throng in front.

We know that that adininistra- ton has been a8 pure 48 eificient, while your per- Sonal intercourse with us has been always consider- ate and kind. We cannot pay you a more fitting tribute tn parting than by wishing you, in your new field of labor, great success and equal approval. Mr. Delano replied as tollows:— LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THR OrFicR—The Word “goodpy,” in this world of change, has fre- quently to be spoken; not always with grief, yet generally with regret. While it is with regret that I speak it to you to-day, I cannot but remember with pleasure the zeal, honesty and ability with which you have aided aud sustained me in the per- formance of my duty. Though I have not frequently bad the pleasure of meeting 78 ‘all in close inter- course, still with some of you the association has been certainly intimate. That intimacy has assured ime that wherever our duty may call us ip life we will find able and worthy helps in the line of duty; and T feel assured that in the future, aa well as in the past, you will be agreeably associated in the performance of your duty. Providence has so ordered His lawa that happiness and success must follow the fatthful discharge of public and private obligations. In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, allow me to cx- press to you my earnest thanks for the courteous at- tention shown me on retiring from office, and I hope that throughout life you shall be happy aud successful, All the clerks, male and female, were then intro- duced in turn, and, having shaken hands with the retiring Commissioner, departed.

Mr. Simon Wolf, in order to reply w many inqui- ries irom other cities, visited the President to-day for the purpose of ascertaining why the Israelites had been omitted in the recent appointment of Indian agents. He was informed that the persons appointed were so appointed according to the new policy recommended by various reiigious denomina- tions who haye missionary societies, The Jews having no such association was the reason for not appointing an agent of the Jewish faith. As an evidence of his good will, however, he ex- pressed his readiness to appoint some Israel- Ite to the office of Indian Superintendent. State Dinuer at the White Heuse.
