A telegram was received to-day by the Minister of War from General Velarde, commander of the Republican forces in the Province of Barcelona, tendering his resignation of that post. News despatches from the city of Barcelona ex- plain this action by the announcement that Generai Volarde’s column had mutined at Iguatada, a town thbty-three miles northwest of Barceiona, and that Velarde and the officers of his staff had been forced to save themselves from the fury of the re- Volted troops by precipitate fight. General Cabrinetz was marching on Igualada, at the head of a strong force, with which he hoped to restore order among the revolted troops. On Friday, the 6th inst., the carbineers of the republican garrison at Grenada came in conflict with the townspeople, and fired upon them with fatal effect. The despatch announcing the affair gives no fur- ther particulars than that several of the citizens were killed and wounded, RIOT IN A BARRACK. ‘To-day a riotous affray occurred among the sol- diers quartered in the barracks at Vicalvaro, four miles from this city.

French Official Notification to the Nation. The following important notification was pub- lished in the Journal Opiciel of Paris, a short time since, informing the nation of the approach of the | day of the final liberation of the soil of the Repub- lic from Prussian authority, The document was | written by order of M. Thiers, and the matter of its contents is kept “standing” in type in the oMce | ofthe government press. The State paper reads | as follows :— } A treaty forthe evacuation of the French terri- | tory, the fruit of long negotiations, was signed at Berlin ow the evening of the 15th of March, 1873, at \ live o’clo¢k. The government would have liked | the National Assembly to be the first informed of | | this happy event, but that course was impossible, as the telegraphic message expected from the Prussian capital only arrived at Versailles at seven. | Every one is aware that the government has been | able to iulfil with an unhoped for rapidity the fnan- cial engagements which, irom motives oi prudence, it had only entered tnto for a distant date.

In return, the Emperor of Germany has en- gaged:—fo evacuate on the 5th of July next the four departments—Voszes, Ar- dennes, Meuse and Meurthe-et-Moselle—as well as the fortress and arrondissement of Belfort. The evacuation is to be effected within four weeks irom that date, As a@ pledge for the last two monthly payments the fortress of Verdun and the military district around will alone continue to be ocenpied wntil the Sth September. They shall be evacuated within two weeks from that date, Such are the conditions of the new treaty, which were long discussed, and which, in spite of painml recollections, will rejoice, we have no doubt, the patriotism of all good citizens.

A Timely Expose of the Imposition. WASHINGTON, June 7, 1873. The following letter from Minister Schenck to the Secretary of State has just been made pubtic, and, it is said in official circles, will lead to @ spir- ited controversy on the subject of extortion by telegraph companies generaliy. LEGAvION OF THE UNITED STATES.) Lonpon, Aprii 13, 1378. + Str—I have been thinking for some time of writing to you in relation to the charges made en telegrams sent to the United States by the’Anglo- American Telegraph Company. ‘That company have an arrangenient with the Western Union Tel- egraph Company, tn our country, through which @ systematic imposition is practised which ought to be exposed. I bring it to your attention because communications transmitted by ocean cable on government business are subjected to the same overcharges as are the messages of individuais, and the public and private persons are equally concerned in having what is done known, with # view to some correction of the wrong. I discov- ered something of what | am about to explain three or four months ago, 1 since then have been making inquiries which ve eltciied the fol- lowing, a8 [ believe a true statement of the case :— THE ANGLO-AMERICAN AND WESTERN UNION CON- ‘TRACT. ‘These two companies have some contract be- tween them by which it is agreed and nged that messages sent from England by the Angio- American to all points in the United States shall be received and transmitted by the Western Union to their destinations, Thus the interior or land | the metropolis. lines of the latter company are made continua- | tions of the cable on the American side of the | Atlantic. This is proper enough and a convenience to every one as well as to the contracting parttes, It gives to the Western Union a monopoly of busi- ness coming through the cable to America, and naturally for that monopoly they agree to pay something. Accordingly the contract binds the Western Union to allow the Anglo-American to re- | tain a certain portion—being, } belie of what is charged for transmission 0: in the United State: “REGULATION TARIFFS. The Anglo-American Company have a tariff of prices. The charge tor a message from London to New Yor points east of New York, is four shil- lings (English money) per word. After this month it is understood they have promised a reduction to three shillings a word, The Western Union Company have also a taritt of one-third the wires prices. The charge now is from New York to Washington for the first ten ords forty and three cents for each succeeding cents. wor from New York to Chicago for the first ten words $1, and seven cents jor each word beyond ten; from New York to San Fran- cisco, $250 fer ten words, and seventeen cents for each word beyond ten, and so in proportion to other points. e Every word sent by the cable is charged for, in- cluding date, aduress and signature, On the land Imes of the Western Union witain the United States there ts no charge made (or date, address and signature. BUT NOW OBSERVE THE PRACTICE under the contract before referred to the British and American companies. is sent by the cable trom London to Washington, Chicago or San Francisco, The ofiice here demands and collects for each word four shillings, whicn pays for transmission to New York, and also three pence more for each word” Washington, nine pence more for each word to Chicago, and fifteen pence more for each word to san Fran This, with exchange and the present difference between gold and United states currency, is, or that part of the service which ties beyond New York, more than double the proper charge of the Western Union Company, and is so far an overcharge to be divided between the com- panies who are the parties to it. DOUBLING THE CHARGES. between A nessige to | When the charges imposed for transmission over | the wires west of New York are douvle the regular tari? prices the American company can well afford te allow the cable company one-third of the re- ceipts for that portion of the service performed by their lines. $ | spot of more romantic beauty. If the charge were only double the account | would stand thus:—The Western Union bein credited $2, when the proper amount to be col lected from them was but $1, they would leave sixty-six and two-third cents. with the British company and yet receive $1 555; for their share, cess of reguiar and legitimate charge at home. But se ig in come particulars much worse than thei this, LET Us 1b by supposing a messag rds sent from London vo Washington, Ten of these words may ve supposed to constitute the date, address and names, The cable company would require to be paid here for the transmission over the land line between New York and Wash- ington three pence on each of the whole 100 words. Would amount to £1 5s., which is equal to $6 96. But the regular published charge ‘or such message by the Western Union would be for the date, address, names—ten worls—nothing ; for the first ten words, forty ceuts; for the remain - ing eighty words, at tiree cepts, $2 40; 100 words, $280. Thus there would beeextorted for the service in the United States an arge equivalent in currency (o $4 16, and the $6 96, beiug divided, would give the British company the equivalent of ¢ nd leave the American company for their share #4 64, which is still $1 84 beyond their legitimate charge at home, IN THE CASE OF SHORTER MESSAGES, bear a larger where the address, date and name 10 cems, which would be the charge at home. In such a cause the Western Union pocket for their share, for service performed by them, nimety-three cents, being much more than twice their whole proper charge. And it must be remembered that a large proportion of telegrams sent across the ocean have @ text of but ten words or less, ‘his may seem dealing with an inconsiderable matter, but considered in the aggregate and com- puting the percentage of nojustifiable charges it | is no small thing, as affecting the cost of sending intelligence between the two countries, So far as the government of the United States is concerned, it must have made a large difference during the past year. I no means of knowing whether messages coming from Washington or other points in the United States to be transmitied by the cable to England are subjected to the same or similar over- charges or not. My calculations are based on 109 for exchange and 115 for gold, which has been for some time @ air average. I submit this exposure to you for such use as you may deem it proper to make of the information. I have the honor to be, sit, very respecttally, your obedient servant, ROBERT (. SCHENCK, To Hon.
