A CRITICISM UPON M. THIERS. Whambord in Favor of Religious, Edu- cational and Commercial Liberty, with Universal Suffrage. Liberty, Not License, the Press. for Pants, July 26, 1873. Yegitimacy in France is sleepless. It Watches for the opportunity to rouse French ‘enthusiasm by presenting the last of the old urbon princes as the actual King of France y right divine, and to take the field with him for the crown so long alienated. Should ‘events seem to justify the step, it is probable phe Count de Chambord will soon publish a formal acceptance of the sceptre to be ten- gered to him by the chiefs of the party. He prill still, of course, with his sombre mono- tone, maintain that ‘only the monarchy can have the nation.’’ It has been said that if a wn will only stand long enough in one place r by one opinion all the world will come to im, and Chambord promises to/ be the man to give this notion a practical trial. His Jpteady faith in the power of the monarchy d his adherence to the requirements f his conception of duty in plainly d openly proclaiming it, with what @ republicans, doubtless, regard as ‘damnable iteration,” have in them some- ing of the old singleness of purpose t made many lives sublime ; and it might still another life sublime, but that ce seems to have lost the taste for old Panes, and wants new music altogether. Recent events in the political world have ied me to look over some notes I made of an interview I had with His Highness, as a - correspondent, shortly after hig ous visit to his chiteau near Blois, when, it will be remembered, he issued his procla- pmation putting himself and the ‘white flag”’ before the country. At the time the pressure my attention of several other topics pre- my writing out the interview ; but I ind that the views he then expressed are jpparently quite the same as those he holds iow ; in fact, that he is one man in whose inions the whirligig of time has made jous little change, so I give you what said on some leading points. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We spoke of the Assembly, and I touched pon the common doubt as to whether it represents the country—especially in elation to what is called its “reactionary cies.”* His Highness said: —‘‘The Assembly now in oe was chosen in circumstances pecu- adapted to give expression to the real patural sentiment of the country.” As I wondered how he saw this, he con- tinued: — * «No people,are so easily satisfied, so domi- fated with the spirit of content when all goes ht, as the French people are; but when go wrong this gives way to most irra- excitement, and they are then ruled ly by, the one idea of opposition—a blind, ‘mad, farious impulse seizes thom to simply down what exists; and through this of their nature they are ‘often at jguch moments as election time deprived of the ordinary use of reason.’’ “I believe Your Highness judges them ly and accurately.”” “But have you not observed in what differ- circumstances the election of February 1871) took place—how it was free from disturbing element of party passion? was, indeed, no government to cast wn. Even tho delegation of Tours was ly prostrate. We had only the enemy us, and the only impulse of the people &@ patriotic onexto choose the men who } ld do the best for all in ridding us of that emy."’ Here I did not altogether assent, as I was of bpinion that this desire to be rid of the encmy distarbed the calmness of popular judgment iquite as much in its way as would any other earnest desire. Bat the Count procooded on gnother point to develop his view of the Jehoive of the Assembly. “Another ordinarily disturbing fact was here put aside. Previously elections were al- "ways held with some government in power, ‘and the government, holding all the official ‘machinery, corruptly used it to pervert in its favor the expression of the national will. This did not happen in February. Never were 80 free, so honest, so entixely withqut i the Assembly @8 monarchical?” “Qertainly, except the influence of the FReds—that is, the Internationsl—the Assem- bly is altogether monarchical; and this means that the patriotic elements of the country are monarchical. Supremacy of the monarchy is identified with consideration of the general interests.” THE POSITION OF M. THIERS. “What,"’ I inquired, ‘is the meaning of the fact that M. Thiers was elected in twenty odd departments ?"* “It is the monarchy again. M. Thiers, through his whole active life, has been known only as identified with the earnest advocacy of the monarchy. He was the opponent of the Empire, the opponent of the Republic, but al- ways the advocate of monarchy, qualified by constitutional forms. He was not known for any other political idea, and ‘his election in twenty departments means so many votes for the principle it was thought he would up- hold.” “He seems, however, to have new ideas.’’ “Itis merely the old story of a betrayed trust; a man who permits himself to suppose, in an excess of personal vanity, that ho has reached a certain point in virtue of what he is, and not of what he represents, and who ap- propriates to himself the faith the people have in a principle.” His Highness warmed as more was said of Thiers and spoke freely. “He,” he said, “who criticised clearly when in the opposition and preserved an intellectual independence is now the adulator of parties that in other days he could have regarded only with contempt. He is profuse in promise to the Right, the Left, the Centre, and each has had the assurance of his sympathy with its views. Relying on the Left he has as- sailed the Right with bitter speeches, but dares not abandon it. Had the Right been well led it would not have submitted to his vacilla- tions, A PROPHECY SINCE FULFILLED. Between the Right and Gambetta, when the time comes, Thiers will be torn to pieces, for the Right does not forget that he accused it of & pitiful temper, nor Gambetta that he called him a raving madman.’’ THE PROCLAMATION OF BLOIS. Topching on the subject of his proclama- tion, the Count averred that ‘‘not personal ambition, but a sense of duty, dictated such a mode of declaring his views. His immediate partisans knew all that the proclamation could tell, and it was issued that he for one might not appear to the public in any ambigu- ous light; that his position might be clear as day—so defined that all who favored could support him with honest knowledge, and that all who were against such views could equally know whom to oppose. He would not desire to cheat men into his support by saying one thing and meaning another; for, though politi- cal success is sometimes secured in that way, tt is false and hollow and leads to calamity.” I spoke of what had been said to the effect that the proclamation was neither more nor less than an abdication, “That,” he said, ‘is simply an absurd as- sumption. Besides, the word is especially inappropriate. Men abdicate a position, but nobody ‘abdicates’ the performance of a duty.”” It was always the same resolute adherence to the idea of duty. “Necessity,” he continued, ‘dictates the issue of that proclamation. It resulted from, as it was inspired by, the duty that events seemed to impose upon me.” BOURBON PROGRESS—CHAMBORD'S CREED. Thinted the charge that the restoration to the throne of a prince of his house would involve in some sense a revival of feudal abuse. “Such fears,’ he said, ‘if any one really entertains them, are altogether visionary and chimerical. On the contrary, we go forward with all the real progress of the age. We de- sire to guarantee the freedom of the French people on principles that will give it the broadest and firmest foundation.” “And those principles,” I said, “what are they ?’’ “France,” he answered, ‘should really possess and enjoy all the liberties of which other nations boast. Social as well as com- POLITICAL mercial emancipation, the encouragement of a spirit of mercantile enterprise and the satis- faction of all classes are equally consistent with the supremacy of our banner.” As this was not altogether clear to me I ventured to linger over those principles which, as His Highness said, ‘other nations boast and France should efjoy,’’ and the expres- sions he made use of on this subject might be reduced to the following points of a polit- ical programme: — 1, Commercial liberty to the fullest possible ex- tent, keeping in view the great demands on the national treasury—a point which seems to involve that bis Highness does not altogether belleve in free trade, 2, Absolute religious liberty, and the total ab- stention of the State from imterference with edu- cation. 9. Freedom of the press, qualified only by the exercise of so much control as is necessary to guard against a degeneration of liverty into license. 4, Universal suffrage, subject to electoral reforms that may suppress its abuses and develop in the rural districts an understanding of its true value. 5. Reforms in the army, On this delicate subject His Highness wowd oply declare tue necesgity of “No doubt," I said, “they are right who re- NEW XORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 0, 1873—WiTh : “WNT W Maik, therefore, be supposed’ Foor’; Hot its character or extent, “because it they gave us @ true representation of the weg yndet ujSoussion in the National Assembly.” dom-of the press when I f weighted with the plausible commonplace of distinction between liberty and license, since, of course, if a governniwnt retain authority to correct the license of the press, whatever it does not like is readily enoughycalled license.

This is a mild expression of disgust by the Cos- mopolitan, an American journal of London:— “Guilford Onslow, M.

But she added that she would marry Mr. Smith if he made her, but that if sne did espouse him she would “‘make him live like a toad under a har- row.’ Either poor Smith wants to live in the way his enchantress mentions, or he thinks with Baron Pollock that “no toad with a proper spirit would stay under the harrow.” KANBAS.

Eighteen siege cannons were placed in posi- tion for action. BEYOLUTIONISTS IN COUNCIL AND A PROPOSAL TO SURRENDER. The members of the Revolutionist Junta, seeing the condition of aftairs, assembled in council within the municipal bounds, After debate they proposed to surrender the city to the Commander-in-Chief of the sieging army, under guarantee of a full pardon, on behalf of the Madrid government, to all the insurgent within the town, the Junta ex- pressing at the same time its apprehension that the “Reds” would burn the city if the terms were not conceded. This proposition was made on Wednesday, the 6th instant, CITIZEN ALARM AND A STAMPEDE OF CONSER- . VATIVES, On the same day there was a general stampede of non-combatants from the city, the frightened people being equally alarmed at the prospect of enduring the dangers of a bombardment by the Spanish artillery or the home-door excesses of the insurgents. PARLEY. Two days of parley and deliberation ensued. NO TERMS WITH TRATTORS. At the expiration of this period the com- mander of the Spanish troops rejected the terms which were submitted to him by the radicals. THE “‘RED” CAP IN RETREAT. On this the members of the Junta, with the more violent of the Intransigentes, took flight ai the hour of midnight, and retreated to Gras, the port of Valencia, and there embarked in a steamer for Cartagena. They were hooted by the people at the mo- ments of their embarkment and departure. SURRENDER OF THE POSITION. Of fifteen battalions of volunteers three battalions only remained in Valencia, and these surrendered the city to the republican loyalist soldiers. THE DEATH ROLL. Three hundred killed and wounded will cover the mortality losses on both sides, LOSSES IN TRADE AND PROPERTY. The injury which has been done to the city of Valencia and to the commerce of the town and of the port of Gras is very great. One hundred houses have been damaged by the Spanish bombardment.

HEB MAJESTY’S STATIONERY OFFICE.—In the city of Westminster, not far from the venerable Abbey, but shut out from public sight, there exists one of the largest stationery establishments in the kingdom. Here all the paper for the printing of government publications is purchased and re- ceived; here orders are received for nearly two hundred and fifty government offices for writing paper, envelops, ink and a@ variety of other arti- cles, including the famous red tape so freely used by officials. The total expenditure of the office is about six hundred and fifty thousand pounds sterling a year.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY WILLIAMSBURG, 5 saints A Jéatous Lover, Crazed with Whiskey, Cuts a Young Woman in a Shocking Manner and Then Stabs Himself—The ‘Wounds Not Considered Dangerous. Between nine and ten o'clock last night a double tragedy was enacted in Williamsburg, instigated by jealousy and whiskey. A young man named William Anderson, twenty-one years of age, who occupies the humble position of assistant driver of an ice cart, suddenly became fran- tically jealous of @ young woman named Anne Cunningham, with whom he has been keeping steady company for a longtime. Shortly after nine o’clock he visited her residence, South Fitth and First streets, and peremptorily ordered her to abandon & certain temale associate. The girl, who is said to be very high spirited, talked to him ina very independent style and ordered him from her presence. This so exasperated Anderson that he took from one of his pantaloon pockets a common jack-knife and plunged it into her back four or five times, inflicting severe but not fatal wounds. The young Woman uttered g piercing shriek when she found herself prostrated, and Anderson, thinking that she was about to die, plunged the same kuife three times into his left breast, but none of the wounds are considered serious, He was conveyed to the Fourth street station house on a stretcher by the p@lice, and remained ina very quiet condi- tion up to midnight, when, om having been in- formed by the surgeons attending him that he was not much hurt, he aroused himself and anxiously inquired after the condition of Miss Cunningtiam. On being informed that she was not seriously cat he feli into a quiet siumber; but as the young wo- mau received so many stab wounds at his hands it 18 diMicult at present to predict the result, Miss Cunningham is a young woman of good reputation, about seventeen years of age, and @ great deal of sympathy is manifested toward her by all the citi- zeua iu the neighborhood of the tragedy.

Hydrant streams have been playing upon the smouldering fames, espeelatiy on the grain in the elevator, the “Reated corn’ in Chicago not being @ comparison, The hulls of the three steamers lay where they floated last night, the Dirigo having sunk, nothing but her smoke stack appearing above the water. The Montreal alzo sunk on Cushing's Island, where she was towed, The Carlotta, being iron, has not sunk, but is burned to a shell. Excursion steamers, with crowds of people on board, Lave made (requent trips to them to-day, filled with curious crowds. The United States steamer Blue Light, which i¢ was feared would be burned last night, was got offim salety.

An unknown man was seer going up the wharf soon alter the fire started; but the dames drove him back and he leaped over- board and was lost, His body bas not been recov- ered. A man named Johnson, on the Dirigo, whem he saw the flames burst forth, threw himseif flat om his body and crawled through the burning piles of freight and saved himself, although he was fear- fully injured, every bit of hair and whiskers being burned off and his fesh fearfully taceratved.
