INTERVENTION. Herald Special Report from Berlin. Important Decision of the Ger- man Imperial Council. Tho Versailles Government to Be Given a Lim- ited Period in Which to Restore Peace. INTERVENTION TO FOLLOW FAILURE. Expected Restoration of the Im- perial Regency in France. TELEGRAM TO WHE NEW YORK HERALD. Our special correspondent in Berlin sends us the following important intelligence :— Berum, Sunday, April 30, 1871. At an imperial council held at the palace to- day, Prince Bismarck, who was present, agreed to notify the Versailles government of France that a further limited period would be allowed for the restoration of its authority and the enforcement of order in Paris, and for the fulfilment of the treaty stipulations, After this limited period has expired it was further agreed upon that Germany would take independent action toward establishing law and order in Paris. Tho despatch will empha- size the wish of Germany not to interfere in the internal political affairs of France, but it will be added that an interminable civil war, originating in revolution and characterized by disgraceful excesses, could not longer be tolerated, for the same moral and material in- terests of Germany and even of the whole of Europe are involved. Private information of a reliable character leads to the belief that the iatention of the Germans is to restore the regency of the Empress Eugénie as the next legitimate gov- ernment, in the event of the Versailles authorities being unable to enforce their au- thority over Paris, GERMAN REJOICINGS, Grand Demonstration at Columbus, Ohio— Address by an Officer of King William’s Stam.

Cooke, of the Territory of Columbia, gave A DINNER to the members of the Joint High Commission, at hls residence, in Georgetown, There were present the President and Mrs, Grant, Earl de Grey, Sir Stafford H. Northcote, Sir Edward Thornton, Sir John A. and Lady Macdonald, Professor Mon- tague Bernard, Lord Tenterden, Secretary and Mrs. Fish, General Schenck and daugh- ter, ex-Senator ana Mrs, Williams, J. C. Bancroft Davis and Mrs. Davis, Secretary Robeson, Baron Gerolt and lady, Mr. Catacazy and lady, Jay Cooke, James ©. Kennedy and Mrs, Kennedy and Rev. A. B, Atkins, The table was elaborately decorated witn floral designs and the Parlors of the residence were tastefully adorned with the rarest exotics. The hospitality of the new Governor of the Territory elicited the heartiest compliments from his distinguished guests. There is something’remarkable in the anxiety manifested by the British members of the Joint High Commission to prevent the terms of the treaty which is being prepared from getting into the newspapers, It would appear that Earl de Grey with all the pre- cautions that have beon taken is not quite certain but that he will wake up some fine morning and find THE TREATY PUBLISHED IN EXTENSO in the Hgratp. To guard against this, or rather to anticipate such @ contingency, it is credibly stated that he has caused a telegram to ne sent to Lonaon setting forth that many statements have already ap- peared, and it ts possiple that others may yet ap- pear in the American newspapers, purporting to give the proceedings of the Commission. The nol Earl advises that no falth should be Placed in these accounts, for the reason that they are all unofficial, and hence, according to the British view, wholly irresponsible. What he seems to fear is that the pubiication of the forthcom- ing convention before it 1s acted on by the Senate may secure for it THE SAME FATE as the Clarendon-Johnson Treaty. The American members of the Commission are equally re- ticent towards all outsiders, especially newspaper correspondents. Some of them, however, have ven- tured to hint to prominent Senators the leading points of the intended treaty; others are so elated with the result of their labors that they do not confine themselves exclusively to dis- tinguished Senatorsin their revelations about the treaty, which they declare ts highly advantageous to the United States. “You will like what we have done,” sald Schenck the other day to a Senator, though he did not, proba- bly for want of time, go on to relate what had been done. For some reason all the Americen Cominis: sloners seem pleased with the result, Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts, was jabilant on the eve of his departure for his home last week, Ex-Senator Williams {s certain that ne has made his mark asa diplomat in the share he has taken in the matter. General Schenck has an idea that he will go to Lon- don with some éclat after having been a member of what will hereafter be known as the great Joint High Oommission. Secretary Fish expects a new leage in the State Department as his reward. Mr. Justice Nelson has passed the age whereat success becomes the prompter to fresh ambition, but he too is happy over the treaty. He prophesies that his brother democrats in the Senate will give it A HEARTY SUPPORT, and that it wil go through without much opposition. Nogtwitnstanding Earl De Grey’s Masonic secrecy, THE LEADING POINTS OF THE TREATY have really leaked out, and that, too, before the docu- ment has been formally signed. Tbe settlement reached on the leading question at issue—to wit, the Alabama claims—is in substance the same as has been previously Indicated in these dispatches, namely, that the Joint High Commission does not undertake to settle this question finally, but merely proposes the way for future commissions or arbitrators to do it. It is agreed that in tne settlement of the Ala- bama claims, THE ALLEGED OLAIMS OF ENGLISHMEN against the United States shall be recognized. To this end, provision is made for the appointment of two commissions or boards of arbitration. One is to audit and settle the claims of the United States against Great Britain, growing out of the depreda- tions of the Alabama and other rebel cruisers. The other is to audit and settle the claims of British subjects against the United States growing out or the seizure of property during the war belonging to citizens or subjecta of Great Britain. In each of these commussions or boards of arbitration the United States and Great Britain are each to be represented, the representative from the former to be appointed by the President and from the latter by the Queen. The other arbt- trators are to be eppointed by the sovereigns of the nations named in the treaty. Each board of arbi- tratorsis'to be composed of five members. They will hold their sessions on neutral territory—that 1s to say, Somewhero outside the dominions of England or the territory of the United States. Their action, it 1s understood, 13 to be Anal and binding upon both parties interested. The Commission has agreed upon the principles, the rules of law, whereby these boards of arbitration are to be governed in deciding upon the various claims that may be presented. This is about all the Commission has done toward the settlement of the famous Alabama claims. In the original draft of this part of the treaty it was provided that all clatms of British subjects or citi- zens spall be audited and settled by a board of arbi- tration, The attention of some of the American Commissioners was called to the fact that this was @ lite m8 TOO BROAD IN ITS TRRMS. Some of the property of the English subjeots taken during the war consisted of negro slaves, a species of property recognized ali over the South at that time, It was suggested that the people of the United States would scarcely consent to pay for slave property, whethiér it belonged to an English+ man or an American rebel, This point dia not seem to have occurred to the American Commissioners. They saw it at once, however, when pointed out to them, and it is under. Stood that the words “except slaves’ have been inserted tn that part of the treaty which relates to the claims of British subjects against tho United States. The admission of the alleged claims of British subjects against the United States, in con- Aection with tne settlement of the Alabama clalma, sheadiand, 2 Sesagenis. GLastdce GSSESEEZEI “G2, 2278 p295925928 4595552002425 BDEEES UEPREEEEER et “ is considered by those Senators who are apprised of the fact as PREOULIARLY ONFORTUNATS. Aamitting that these British claims are just and ought to be settied, Senators best informed on the subject hold that they are not of the same character 08 our claims and should not be placed on the same footing. Most of the property taken, if not all of it, came into our hands in the ordinary exigencies of war. There was no premeditation, no knowledge on our part as to whom the property belonged, as there was in the caso of tho English when they fittea out pirates to prey upon vessels carrying the flag of the United States. It {a the opinion of Senators who have taken great pains to examine the subject that all the English claims that can be presented will far exceed our modest money demands for the depredations of the anglo-rebel cruisers. Those claims are reckoned by Englishmen at from FIPTBEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS STERLING, while the Alabama claims, as they are called, aro generally set down at $15,000,000. it will be ob- served from this thas, according to Engitsh calcula- tion, their claims against us exceed ours against them by about $30,000,000, According to this, the result of this part of the treaty will bethat we will be compelled to pay out of the national treasury a um to Great Britain, instead of re- ceiving anything in the way of damages. As ® prominent person in conversation to-day said, “After having taxed our people to pay the expenses of a war prolonged at least two years, if not longer, by the action of Great Britain, wo will be compelled to tax them yet more to pay for property taken as the result of that war and the prosecution of it.’ One of the Provisions of the treaty ts to the effect that here- after neither the United States nor Great Britain shall sell vessels to other Powers or ALLOW THEM TO BE BUILT and fitted out in their porta tor privateering pur- poses. This seems to be intended to prevent the possibility of future Aiabamas, Floridas and Shenan- doahs. It is suggested that this new principle of international law comes a@ Itttle too late. With re- gard to < THE FISHERY QUESTION, the treaty provides that the fishermen of the United States shall pe allowed to fish inside the marine league orthree miles from the shore from which they have heretofore been excinded provided a cer- tain sum of money 1s paid the Canadian authorities. ‘They are also allowed to fish from headland to This ts regaraed here as more of a suc- cess for thé Canadians than for the American fisher- men. The iatter could probably have obtained as liveral concessions long ago from the Canadians without clther a Joint High Commission or a treaty TAME SAN JUAN QUESTION {8 not absolutely settled by the treaty. Like the Alabama claims, it is left open for arbitratton, The American Commissioners are of opinion that the arbitration will result in giving us the boundary line go long claimed, This, however, is regarded as of minor importance, because it Is a matter which cou- cerns particalarly only the people of the Pacific coast, The treaty provides for the free navigation of the St. Lawrence by American vessels and for the use of ~ THE CANADIAN CANALS Upon the payment of the regular toll. This is the Only clear, decisive concession to the United States in the treaty. Considering that the canals and the St. Lawrence are only open for navigation aboutsix months in the year, this cannot be regarded as of Vital importance. The effect of it will be to make Montreal instead of New York the outiet to the ocean for the produce of the Northwest; that is, 80 much of {1as canbe shipped by way of the St. Lawrence and the Wolland Canal, Such are he main points of the treaty which is to be sub- Iltted to the Senate on the 10th inst. While it Is an improvement in some respects upon the Clarendon. Johnson treaty, it ts considered to be hardly up to the standard of SENATOR SUMNBR'S FAMOUS SPEECI on that convention, which at the time received the Qpproval of the great mass of the American people. A New York paper to-day gives prominence to the substance of a leading article on ‘The Work of the Joint High Commission,” which appeared in one of the Washington weekly papers yesterday, ‘‘aaid,” the correspondent writes, “to we from the pen of Caleb Oushing, which foreshadows, it is understood, more clearly and more acourately than any previous publication, Bt least, the basis of the great treaty.” The mame of Calen Cushing, who ts the Attorney of the Department, is probably coupled with the article on socount of the general accuracy of the statements made in it. There is positive authority, however, for stating that it is not from tho pen of Caleb Cushing, but it is questionable whether she yenerable legal adviser of the State Department ‘Could readily have given @ much more correct ac- count of “the work of the Joint High Commission.” Itis understood that Caieb Cushing has not been systematically consulted about the business; but that, on the contrary, our Commissioners have, for. the most part, kept their own counsels and acted according to thelr own judgment. It now appears that if they had the work to do over again they would not have been so reticent, but would have sought information and oplaions in quarters outside the sacred circle of the Commission, With reference to the article itwelf the readers of the HeRaLD would casily perceive that It is, like a former editorial on the same sub- ject in the same paper some Sundays since, only a careful collation of the statements, and in some in- stances of the phrases, which have appeared from time to time in the special despatches of the HERALD. The elaborate special despatch of a week ago today from here to the HERALD contains & summary of the situation of the questions before the Joint High Commission up to that period. It has created con- alderable comment in oficial and diplomatic circles here and has beer pronounced by those who know ail the facts to be substantially correct in all essen- tial particulars; indeed, it is a matter of some sur- prise to many people how the HERALD has been able to obtain so much information about the discussions of this High Commission, when such extroardinary care has. been taken to keep everything concerning ts pi ings 80 profoundly secret, The H&RALD's despatches about the Joint High Commission have not only been extensively copied in many newspapers in the United States and the Canadas, but have formed the basis of leading articles something similar to the one which your contemporary has quoted. They have also been telegraphed to England and have furnished food for dissertations in tne English journals which could not be obtained from the British government. This is only one of many tllustrations that have re- cently appeared to show the power and importance of the HeRaLp. LEASE OF THE CAMDEN AND AM307 RAILROAD.

Proceedings In the British Parliament. Tho San Juan Boundary Question—A Satisfactory Settlement with the United Biates Expected— Tho Ministry Bound to Keep Mum Until the Treaty is Batified—The Debate on the Budget—Disracli and “Historicus’’ Oppoce the Inorease of the Income Tax—The Vote a Victory for the Gladstone Minist:y. TELEGRAM TQ THE NEW YOAX HEALD. Lonpon, May 1, 1871. The differences between the United States and Groat Britain concerning the San Juan boundary question have been satisfactorily arranged and there remains now but the final ratification of the treacy by the governments of the two countries to make the proceedings complete, The terms of the agreement will embrace all tho points in controversy. In the House of Lords to-night Bart Granvilie, however, declined to answer a question respecting the state of the negotiations for the settlement of the San Juan boundary question with the United States, Lord Granvillo stated that the governmens was under the obligation of secrecy until the treaty ratifications were exchanged, In the House of Commons last night the debate on the budget was resumed. The measures proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequor were strongly opposed as both uifair and impracticable. Several prominent members, Well known as the adherents of the Ministry, were lukewarm in thelr support of Mr. Lowe’s pudget, and the government had a narrow escape of being defeated on the proposal to increase the income tax. Mr. Gladstone's deciaration to make no further alterations in the budget has certainly committed lim so far as to make its adoption vital to the exist- ence of the present Cabinet, The Ministry made a close fight upon this ques- tlon, and was at the commencement of the debate evidently losing ground. Many prognostications as to the final result of the debate were made, and it was generally asserted that the Gladstone Cabinet would have been ousted if the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been rejected. The opposition was already jubilant at the prospect of itsadvent to power, and Mr. Disraelt’s chances were freely discussed in and out of Parilament, One of the most formidable opponents of the bu get is Mr. Vernon Harcourt, the well known “His. » toricus” of the London 7%mes, who has been mose bitter in his attacks upon Mr. Lowe's measures. Mr. Hanley was equally severe in his condemnation of Mr. Lowe's measures, Mr. William H. Smith, member for Westminster, moved a resolve that, in the opinion of the Houke, it fg tuexpedient to tucrease the rato of taxation on incomes, He argued to show that the additional burden would fall exclusively on small incomes. Mr. Liddell, member for Northumberland, seconded the motion, and endeavored to prove that the reasoning of the government was deceptive. After alengthy and exciting debate Mr. Lowe roe’ in defence of the budget. He sald the government had presented the beat avallable suostitute for the imposts rejected by the House. He hoped this new attempt to satisfy the House would meet with a better reception, Mr. Thomas Baring renewed the attack and Mr, Gladstone repjied, showing that the measures now proposed were.identical with those offered by the conservatives three years ago.
