However diMentt it may be for the German people © penetrate into the mysteries of American party olitics, tt may be interesting on your side of the ater to know what conclusions are nere drawn from he Schurz.Sumner movement in Congress. Many pf the German organs publish original correspond. ences from Washington, in which “the great Mis. uri Senator, our countryman, Carl Schurz,” 1s raised to the skies. The oldest members of Con- ress ure Made to say that Schurz’s speech of the th ult, was the greatest oratorical chef a@'euvre listened to within the last twenty-flve years in the juited States Senate. The Senator is declared to be a statesman of pre-eminent ability, whose logic, poe, brilliant wit and sharp sarcasm are the r of his opponents. Such is the strain in which Those sangulne correspondents treat of their hero. Of course they advance the opinion that the ad- $rinistration can never recover from the terrible plow dealt by tue Senator’s speech on the SALE OF ARMS AND AMMUNITION jo the Freach; that this 13 an insurmountable var- ‘ler to Granvs re-election, &c., 4c.

WHAT 18 THOUGHT OF THE CIRCULAR, When the draft of this circular was read to the assembled radical party in tue Tertulia Progresista Sefior Moret and others thought it not explicit enough, as it contained no direct meution of the King or the dynasty; but Seiior Montero, Rios, tts author, and Seilors Zorriila and Martos declared the dynasty was included tn the parase “absolutely all the revoiutionary Work,’’ and this satisded the op- Jectors, but it has not satisiled the public, It has afforded an excellent theme on which the govern. ment organs riag the changes. ‘They now soundly rate Zorrila and his party, poy only for joining the @nti-dynastic partite, but for being antt-dynaatic too, contending that the radicals are now dead Against the King, Tne radicals stoutly deny the im. Putation, and, tn their turo, accuse the governmental adherents of conspiracy in favor of Prince Al- fonso. Certainly the position of King Amadeus is not an enviabie one at present, It is hard for him to say who are his trus friends and who are not, The republican and Carlist papers are con- Blantly telling him to abdicate in order to avold the nie ot Maximilian; but 1 don’t tnigk the King ts a man to be easily frightened. Ile desires to do his best, but he is sadly peset by interested counsellors, and men Whose only god ts their “party,” aud who for the gain or that purty would sink King and couatry into everlasting perdition, What may be the upshot of these present dificuliles no man can foresee, but that they are likely to lead to bloodshed think they will end in revolution or civil war. The tone of the press 1s awiul, Just look at what the chief government organ says Oo! the coalition:— TONE OF THE PRESS. “Against our feclings and stifling in the depth of our soal the ndiguation produced witain us by the con Wnct of certain men, we bave kept silence for a Jong time in order not to be tue first to provoke a rupture.

The Menvine of Prince Napoleon's Presence in Rome—f1ow the Prince is Entertained by His Lriend<=—Movements of Prince Fred- erick Charies of Pru A Couple of Tere rible Catastrophes, Rome, Maren 9, 1871, It has been erroneously suspected that Prince | Napoleon's presence tn Rome Indicated a polittear Mission. The present rulers in France certainly accuse Victor Emmanuel of Bonanartist tendencies, and, I believe, tt isa fact that tue King of Italy 19 in friendly correspondence with the ex-Emperor of the French; buv if Napoleon ILL, wisued to develop auy ideas or arrange any plans with Victor Emmaa- uel he would hardly 1X upon his cousin Pion-Plon | for his envoy. I mentioned in my last otter that there was a question Of dowry, a portion of whica 13 a8 yet unpaid, pending between the Prince and | Ins royai father-in-law. But there is also another | topic to be discussed in tho iuterview which | the Prince will have with His Majesty tn a few days | at Naples.

She is a most estimable lady, only alittle too bigoted for the present feelings of the Italian people in this anti-clerical age. HOW PLON-PLON IS FETED. Meanwhile Prince Napoleon’s presence in Rome has proved the signal for @ grand clan-gathering of the Bonapartes and thei friends in his honor. The Marchesa Primul¢ was the first to give a brilliant assembly, and the Princess of Rocca Giovane fol- lowed up witha grand dinner at the Palazzo aet Galle, at which entertainmont Cardinal Bonsparte, abandoning forthe nonce his ascetic havits, con- descended to take ‘t, M, d’Harcourt and the whole staff of tne French Embassy got out of the way on the occasion by making an excursion to Ostia and picnicking under the secular old pine trees surrounding Prince Ohigi’s seaside residence at Castel Fusano, Prince Charles Napoleon gives dinner to-mor- row ourolna his turn to the Bonaparte family and to several distinguished statesmen and denuties at his villa residence, adjoining the Porta Pia, in the external wall of which was effected the famous breaoh of the 20th of September, 1870, through which the Ita fan troops and, in the Pope’s opinion, aou-Christ, entered the Holy Clty hand-m-hand, PRINCE CHARLES FREDERICK OF PRUSSIA 1s doing the sights of Napies as industriously ay ne went through those of Rome, On the morning of the ith he was at Pompeii, and in the evening he dined with the Grand Duchess of Russia, Yester- day his excursion was directed toward Posilippo and- the classic shores o!

I must conclude tnis letter by registering a couple Of trazical occurreuces in the City, Signor Gaetano Patamua, @ rich Calaprian gentlemau, who had been visiting Signor’ d’Amtco (recently President of the International Telegraphic Congress), in the Via Gregoriana, was returning home with @ fried to the Hotel de Rome, about one o’clock on Thursday morning, when he was stabbed tn the Via Condotti by an {aad dust who immediately dropped his pplgoant and feo, Signor Patamia was Carried to is hotel, where he soon after expired. As norob- bery was attempted this murder 13 supposed to be the work ofa lured assassin; but the motive is a mystery, and it 18 even conjectured that the victiin maf have been mistaken. The Other catastropne took place last night ata ‘Wild beast show on the Piasza det fermini, This menagerie has just arrived at Rome Ab ei ne o'clock the aaimals were to be fed, and one of the exivoitors entered the lions’ den.

In other words, they believe that the Lialian govern- ment, by its poltvy of conclilation, bas alienated the sympatites of ali the advanced reformers, and that these may some tine or auother make Rome too hot for the King as well asfor the Pope. 1 simply re- peat the cierical bellef, without at ail endorsing at. The Cardinal spoke with sorrow and dread of the state 01 things in France, anticipating the origin in that country or in Spain of some such conflagra- tion as that which towards the end of last ceutury set all Kurope in a blaze; only, he aaded, it would this tine find more taflainmabie materials to teed oa. His Eminence seemed to dread some outburst in Spain; and he remarked significantly enouga on the’ food sense aud discretion shown by the Ekogiish Prince in retusing tie crowao offered to him, He was right not to give up iis legitimate ravk in his own country for the doubtful fortunes of an adventurer eiso- where, The conversation then happened to turn on the expected arrival In Rome of Priace Napoicon, id the Cardinal reterred with manifest gusto to the ocular on ditt ia circulation here thar the ex-Em- peror’s coutsin 1s coming for the express purpose of cnallenging to singie combat Prince Frederick Cuaries of Prussia, who 13 now “doing” the sternal City a3 thoroughly as he did Metz speak. mg of Prince Napoleon’s advent, the Min- later referted significautiy to the fact of the late Empere:’s havia; lespatched nis cousin Ob a special mission to the King of me during the War; aud the Cardinal then remarked tnat Italy would not be sorry to have Savoy aud Nice retncor+ porated.

Sala I to one, “Why not permit us to goon with the case before the Geneva Board and try the question there, when you can demur to the jurisdiction, or trust to boat us, as I think you will, In the decision?” “We cannot do it,” was his answer; ‘we cannot admit the principle.” And so all say, some with more, some with less degree of mildnoss—generally ies3.
