A despatch from Stuttgard announces the recep- tion to-day of adeputation from the American Evan- Gelical Alliance by Prince Gortchakoff, who 13 now sojourning in that city, Tbe address from the Alliance to the Czar was presented and favorably received. It contains the following: To His IMPERIAL MAJESTY ALEXANDER If, EM- PEROR OF ALL THE RuSssIAs:— The undersigned, citizens of the United States of America and delegates of the American branch of the Evangelical Alliance, which is an organization composed of Protestant Christians of diferent de- nominations and countries, beg leave most respect- fully to explain the circumstances which havo prompted this appeal to Your Imperial Majesty. By increased facilities of intercommunication the unity of the human family becomes more and more @ practical reality. National acts of justice and philanthropy exert adirect influence beyond the boundaries of the countries in which they orlginate. The benevolent decrees of Your Impertai Majesty in reference to the serfs commanded the admiration of all the friends of humanity in our own land and throughout the world, and had a favorable effect upon our own government tn bringing about shortly atterwards the emanctpation of four miltions of slaves. Confidence in the well known benevolence of Your Imperial Majesty emboldens us to express the profound sympathy foit by multitudes in our own country with a large number ot Your Imperial Majesty’s subjects in the Baltic provinces, whose condition is so emphatically described in the report made to Your Imperial Majesty by Count Bobrinskt in April, 1864, and who by existing laws are prevented from — opealy returning to the fatth of théir Lutheran ancestors. As Americans we venture to refer to tho results of our own national experience as illustrating the effects of religtons lib- erty on the welfare of individuais and the stability ofgovernments. By religious liberty we ao not tn- tend treedom from all authority, much less that alt opinions are equaily good, but simply the right of every :ndividual to believe ana worship according to his own free consc ence, responsible only to the au- tuority of God, as revealed in fis Moly Word. In the United States all religious denominations and forms of worship are equal before the law, which, supporting none, protects all, and never in- terferes witn thetr internal affairs. The orthodox Greek Church, though with us the smaliest as to numbers, enjoys in every respect the same liberty a3 the largest denommation, T¢ may build ehurchsd, its oplaions and extead its influcace a3 freely In the United States as tn the empire of Rus- sia. This religious freedom we have found not only arelief to the State from agltations and carea, but the surest pledge of social order and national unity, by promoting mutual respect and charity among the different denominations, and by imparting a sense of security to all. in the common enjoyment of their most sacred rights, In view of these considerations we respecifully unite our request wilh that of our brethren in Europe in behalf of Your Imperlal Majesty's subjects 10 the Baltic provinces, that they may be permitted to worship God and to educate their children ac- cording to the faith of their fathers, and [ree pre- ference of their own consciences. Still further, in behalf or American missionaries, distinguished by imteliigeace, precy and scholarship, who have labored long and successfully among Armenians, Nestorlans and other Christians under Mahometan rule in Turkey, and op the borders of the Russian dominions, we beg leave to ask that Your Imperial Majesty’s Cristian government b be Induced to grant, within the limits of Its jurisitice tion, among all subjects not belonging io the or- thodox Greek Chureh, liberty of worship and re- ligious institutions, including circulation of the Holy Scriptures. In support of the memorial which we now earnestly aud respectfully present we appeal to the gentus of Christanity, which, being spiritual in its nature, requires morat influence and motives; to the sacred rights of couscience, which demand an outwar: expression in freedom of public worship; to the spirit of modern civilization, which favors religious liberty and scems to antictpate its universal preva- Jence, and to the precepts of Jesus Crist, whose Kingdom is not of this world, and who ts “the Head over all things to the Chuven.” In the sincere hope that Your Impertal Majesty may have the high satisfaction of adding another to thoge great acts of benevolence which have Inspired the gratitude of mankind, and devoutly invoking upon Your Imperial Majesty and upon ait Russia the blessing of Almighty God, by whom kings reign and princes decree justice, we subscribe ourselves, with profound respect, Your [mperial Majesty's obedient servants, WILLIAM ADA JOHN CROSBY 1S.

The following discussion took place in the Na- tional Assembly, on June 29, on the fraudulent pur- chases of arms by M, Victor Place, lately French Consul at New York:— The Duke D'AupIFeReT Pasguigr—On the 4th March last the Assembly appointed a committee of sixty members to inquire into ail the contracts made by the governinent on the occasion of the war, We have thought advisable not to watt wail the ter- mination ot our mission to give an account of it to you, but to present a succession of reports which will keep the Chamber informed of the progress of our la- bors, (Hear, hear.) On enteriug on our task we found ourselves in presence of 84,000 files of documents. (Movoment.) We therefore divided the work among five sub-committees, each of which undertook a particular branch of the inquiry. From the commencement we under- siood that the commitice should not be a political machine, but a tribunal of honor to judge the morality and honor of men who may bave taken part In the acts it had to mquire into, We were also under the necess! of acung promptly, for many firins are waiting anxiously for the sums due to them, and respectable houses might be imvolved in dificuiues by a prolonged delay. The committee has nad to inquire into con- fractg. amounting to no less a sum than 1,100 millions of tranes. (Movement.) Many men Who contributed their assistance to the govern: ment have been unjustly suspected by pabite opinion; the burden of ca’umny 1s hard to bear, therefore the duty of the committee has been to lose no time ti publishing the truth. Delays have, however, occurred, in consequence of the ‘impossivitily of having access to papers in Paris during the —insurrects The ¢ mittee has thought that it ought not to conine {iscif to reporting on the result of its imvestigation, but Should aiso pass its judgment on the facts re- vealed, i order that those culprits who may not be able to the tribunals may be exposed in the y of public opinion. (Hear, hear.) The com- has been saddened with ike spectacle of a high funetionary lberally patd, who had been charged to guard the interests of the country in controtling the purchases of arms, and Who took advantage of his position to betray the confidence of the country. A wealthy American manufacturer, who piacea tis works gra- tuilously at the service of this country, has disclosed the frauds committed to our prejudice, Is it sut- tin such cases to merely aniounce the facta? they must le exposed in all their de- tals, and the guilty parties must be branded with infamy. (Hear, hear.) The com- mittee has been resolved to know the whole truth The result has been to show that a country cannot wit ness with impunity the spectacle presented by the empire for tweniy years. If we have found an absence of patriotic feelug and also widely developed thirst for lucro, the cause is to be avtribuced to the example the nation has had belore it, (Movement). The populations must be informed of the real cause of our misfor- tunes, and especially at tos mor w.en the pats tisans ol the imperial régime are blaming every- | thing that has been done since Its downfall, and are soliciting the snifrages of the electors, But 1 sual be glad to see them here that they may reply to me. ‘A voice on the Kight—They will answer you, (Agl- tation.) Duke D'AUDIFFRET PaASQUIER—They will answer, Why do you not do so at once? (Loud applause.) L can understand that Prince poleon is impatient. to ascend this tribune. After Prochu and Changar- nier, he must be anxtous to say how and on what «i his country. (Hear, hear.) Let him come. His palace of Meudon is awaiting lim. (Movement.) He will not find there now nis scuilions and lis kennels. (Hear, hear.) He will see what fas been done with Nis country while he was smoking nis cigarettes at Prangins. (Hear, hear.) When again he shail cast stones at the men who bore the burden of affairs they will tell Kim thas nis duty 18 to be silent and allow himself to be forgotten. (Applause.) TI am not sure whether the committee will be able to make the guilty parties give up their tll-acquired fortunes, but we shall at least show to France, Wao is awaiting with anxiety yout verdict on What ts tak flace, that there is a moment When those unfaithtul servants have to render an account of theiracts.

Unde rill nary circumstances Consuls ha no right to any commission, On ur ly been me. r corded them on tobacco, but solely for that of Havana, and when the total exceeds one milion the commission is reduced to one per cent. tn addition to what he charged for himself, he ob- tained one per cent tn the name of M. Chornito, who: served him as an English interpreter, that sum amounting to 300,000f, (Movement.) The indi- vidual just mentioned succeeded in inducing the house of Remington vo increase its invoices by lf, 2c, for each weapon, of which augmenta- tion he was to receive one-third. ‘The total added reached 872,000f., but the guilty parties only received @ part of the profit they expected. Those facts were stated on oath by Colonel Squeen, whose good faith bad been surprised. M. Place also pur- chased provisions, but the committee only obtained the documents on the 3ist of May, and these show that the acts above-mentioned are not the most culpa- ble. The committee had to trace back to their origin the abuses specified and report thereon. The chotce of Consul, for instance, ia frequently extremely iax. By the side of honored names ave to be found others branded with reprobation in t’rance, and got at all calculated to increase our consideration in foreign countries. We ask that the list of Consuls should be revised. On the 12th of May the committee sum~ moneda M. Place before it, but he only appeared on the 15th of June, and his replies positively aggra- vated the charges set forch in this report, which we ask you to order to be printed ana distributed.
