THE EVACUATION OF VENICE, AND ITS OCCUFATION BY THE ITALIANS. Prom Our Special Correspondent. VExice, Oct. 24, 1606, The scene in Venice, for these past seven days, Dasses 10 vividness even all that a correspondent of the Amrican war hae noted. Of that wild, wonderful struggle, tile oc- cupation of Richmond wes the climax, in the picturesque and emotional, as well as in the historic view. Here, in my hotel on the Grand Canal, I recall its eolemn eithu- sissme and silent terror. 1 try to recall every feature of its landscape of flame and shadow; the cousecutiv® ex- plosions of its panic-stricken edifices, those architec!ural suicides that felt the desperate end of rebellion, and reeled and fell with its people. 1 soe, again, in its half Fom- pelan streets, rolling with the lava of war, the spiriis of the mountain-North erupted upon it, walking with altost fearful and infrequent huzzas, up the breaches of the biaz- ing. 1 see the glazed faces of the Weiting prisoners, at the bars of Libby, whitened with sorrow, eud bectic with the hearing of the tramp of relief. And I dare believe, 88 1 try to be in this de- liverance of Venice, that what I hear, scé, feel and think, make an impression more fixed and more wonderful ttan the last prodigious tablean of our grand war. Think of !

Like & human standard-bearer, Briavean- armed, these colors run eastward and southward, showin on every village tower, on every poor, blasted farm-house! Their pussege is quick as_sight and light. They flame | above the gorge of the railway, faster than the train that glides toward Venice, laden with the last white-coated or sky-blue-coated Austrians. They cover the late disastrous bttle-ield, where sleep the dead of the peuinsuls,an ifevery grave bad vegetated into tri-colors. Atlast they enter by the same winkfull of light, the twin monsters of Mantus and Verous, avd by their iustant ilumisstion make madness and ghter. Under the grest machiolated towers of Mantua, under its solemnly grand castle and palace, from every martello angle and monsy bastion, reflected in luke and morass, the colors of Piedimont shine. They spangle Verona the still remaining tomwb of Romeo and Juliet, make & wondrous cornice to its marble amphitheater, erest ite Roman play-house, drape every toiling mill in t stream of the wide Adige, leap along its Roman and fer dal walls far into the salient towers on the spurs of the fruitful mountains, and to the music of rejoicing organs they unwind from every church tower. Dowan the streets v-n{uu long-suffering cities, straightway the people pass in wild u.-(-rulm, bearing the self-same symbol of inde- pendence. They pour into the desolate citadels snd battories and fix the tri-color at the muzzle of every gun. It flasies to the flag-staff. Itisa gurrrgeoun curtain at every port- hole. Mothers and their babes come forth, yet white with the struggle of child-birth, that eome faint trace of the happy bour may drop into the blue eyes, and dwell there forever. While thus with garlands, songs, and all the warm spontaneity of the South, two older cities than the fame of Christ acknowledge the indelible love of race and country. The trains of the banished Austrian aro sliding with the speed of shame and telief around the head of the Adriatic. They see the cities they could never win to love them—the muttering cities that treaty, brile, aud cannon could not keep constant—unroll the ign, woven in secret, wherever they pass or pause.

FIRST VIEW OF VENICE REDEEMED. You who have been in Venice will be glad if T succeed in recalling it to you again.

Beyond it, & mile or more, reach golden bars on which the Adriatic breaks, sending through one wide aud liberal crevasse a lentiful tide, ruffled by none of the storms beyond the ar, yet adequate for uavies, even now, when we build deep and mighty levinthans. In the past, through that same channel, poured galleys of war, bent on certain vie- tory; the spoil of the Eust drawn througl dropped on yoider softly lighted quays, aud when it woke iu carnival, its lamps wero like the rival of the sun, staying in bis place to make flamie the great Lagune.

Bohind the ducal palace are the prisoners of State, whose outlet is the famed Bridge of Bighs, of Jate the sepulchers of the Italian patriots. From :fib. Molo, or State quay, the view is wonderful of the domes and cam- paniles on three opposite islands, and the broad blue path of the canals, plowed with swift gondolas. Far down the island is the arsenal, where the Venetians fitted out their flects, as Dante deseribes them. This is Venice, & labyrinth of islands, palaces, churches founded by fugitrves who grew up M?-‘ and are now to be ushered into the first day of independence. NAPOLEON'S PART IN THE DRBIVERY OF VENICE. From this Molo of San Mareo, where the Bishops so oft came down to bless the Farraguts, Portors and Wordens of the Republic, a soldier in the eky-blue coat of the Austrian, sailed off, on Friday, the 19th of Oectober, to 0in & ehip, close by, bearing a yellow and sable flag, em- roidered with an eagle. It was the last Anstrian Gov- ernor of Venice, the last Gessler of his race, Gen, Alemann. The quay was thronged with people; girls, national guards, ladies, old men. They made a silent path through them to the water's edge, whence the Austrian, a bearded man of iron gray, full of those outward graces which are learned in s military school; & man who could command the execution of Kossuth or Garibald) with quiet dignity, and go to bed thereafter without remorse, He and hig troops, who had silently sailed awsy the night preceding in the darkness and withont observation, were all of the stolid graciousness which obeys orders’ without passion and executes injustice with the deportment of a danciny master. A8 his gondols passed off he raised his bat. -4 silent waving of handkerchiefs from the quay gave him farewell, There was uo regret in the soul of any man or woman thus saluting him, except the natural solemnity of thin polite breaking of chains and the flush of froedon tempered for an instant with the sudden comprehension of its grave responsibilities.

With this biatus in the sequence of our narrat pause o moment to make the outburst of the seople fumiliar to those who read this column far awsy. hnr\' than 80 years ago the foreign soldier smiled from New-York harbor. He took with him bis national music wod the fashion be had of aspirating injudiciously. His feet and florid whiskers departed. He ran down his crimson flag. Eight years of revolt were answered in the thunder of the new Kepublic's guns. How would we bave behaved had the War of the Revolution lasted to the pros- ent day, through all the weary years of the glory we have since won, of the forests and wountains we have con- quered, of the laws we have enactod, of the conquests we have made, of the justices we bave been brave to do, of the name we have gained in righteousness and history, Yet, for nearly the period of av existence, Venice hasy been bound; aud during all this while of bitterness, re- It, blood, defeat, grief, madness, she has clung with the ity of life to the remembrauce of Ler glory aud the resolution of resistance. - ‘When this Austrian Governor took hisshadow from her quay, bis sail from her waters, & pause like u sigh, like madness, like death, ensued. The pinzza, the plazzetta, the srcades, the house tops, were filled with peoplo. ‘Twenty thousand stood thers, in sileace, like bewilder- ment. Not an oar Lroke the water, not a cry peeled on the land, no bell sounded, ne jeer, nor lacgh, uor tread of feet, shook the solemn, vacant pause. Suddenly, like o flash of the spectrum, a tri-eolor flag ran up to the peak of the Campanila. A group of meneof war mounted the harbor lighthouse, “Their portholes grew white and thunderous. A fieldpiece 1u the Plazza answered them back. ‘Those resonances broke the stupor of the people. With a shout like the falling of the city, they fell into each other's aris. VIVA EVVIVA! LA VENIsE!

Then, from each of the three great goufalon staves that decorated the pi- azza, other and siwilar flags swung to the sunshine. Like the rushing of pirits frow the tenements, u fing fell over overy portal in the city. A flag scalod the topmost dome of the Catliedral. ‘The Duea! Palace became & huge bal- cony of bunting. Every craft in the harbor, as if hoisting sail, ran up the national standard, [t went like & buman presence up the Grand Canal. The most pinched and paltry canuls were canopied with it. No hut so poor but it showed the boly emblem, No man so cold but he gave it to the wind. None, but one Cardiual, hiwself an Ttal- inn, but of expatriated soul, who, out of his liftleness, in satire and rage, rather than in Christian love, set over his palace & tiny tri-color, po bigger than & paper scrap of apal money, Directly thero was a rush of young men into his hall, and over his window-sill they spread the battle standurd of the excommunicated King.

It was as if Now-York or Boston were suddenly seized and desecrated by the Englishman or the Spaniard, sud florid or swarthy tourists among us wrote books end letters from the Bai- tery or Buoker Hill, deseribing our monnments and our misery. All this the men and wowen of Venice felt to the quick. They were singulasly like the American twph in pride” aud scumtiveness.

O the coue the llel ends; for New-York is one stanch island, st An bold and rocky, while Venice is acolleetion of n# is.ats, divided by 149 canals, connected by 380 bridges, and pierced by 2,050 infinitely narrow and labyrinthine streets. Almost every foot of the city is built vpon piles. Each of its 15,000 houses is washed by the sca-water, and of its laxubpowhnol one ever rode upon wheels down the mwe'vland of bis city.

Throe bridges cmlzl cross this Grand Canal, two of them practical and modirn; the middle bridge, famed in all lauds, is the Ri- alto, a high archway of shops and multitudes, under which, like n‘-m&fo crocodiles, gondolas shoot their beaks of steel. Upon the sugface of thie peopled archipelago there are 294 open Jlaces or campi, - Most of them werc spaces to give some church perspective; but two-thirds of the way down the «ity, wkere it narrows to almoet its smallest girth, lies the ouly square of grenter length than o ellug'® throw. ‘the wondrous i of Ban tion floated. ‘Ihey struck the bars from the Austrian dungeons and loosened the boud for countrs’s sake. Above the long degraded Arsenal the sea breege lifted the new and welcome ensign. It tipped the Rialto like s blos- soming keystone. Through the close business h- fare of the Morceria it made a solid roof of green and cnim- son, 1t shook to the repeated discharge of glad eannon, and went in interminable procession across the piazzs, campi, and into the dark seclusion of the city, A#f b its invocation bress bands started up to hail it. Their clangor was like the softness of song to the great turbu- lence of joy they soothied. No thief in the city thought of plunder now. &u pedigree arose to any mind, democratic in the general joy.” And in the pitch of the ness i ery tan over the multitude, “Our army is coming down the Grand Canal ! ENTRANCRE OF THE FATIONAL TROOPS. The railway depot lies at the western end of the Grand Caval, remote from the Doge's palace.

WY TELEGRAPE 7O THE TRISTNE. ‘WasmuNGToN, Nov. 19.—The Navy Department has re- ceived mformation of the arrival of the Tallapoosa at Gelveston from Tampico. The will be sue- coeded by the Psul Jones, near Iatter place. No foreign vessols of war were off the river or in the pozt of Tampico on the 20th of October, and only one American vessol in the harbor. Tampico is at present in command of Col. Gaines, with a force of 500 men, controlling the customs, and_enforcing the payment of loans. The au- thorities of Victoria, the capital of the State, do not ize those of Tampico, and their guerrillas soize all s found en route for the iuterior markets dispatched from the Tampico Custom-House. By letters from Sen Louis Potost, it is ascertained that Mejia and Dupres are 10 leave that place in the early part of November with an expoduion-rg.lom for the recapture of Tampico.

Gomez. Under this state of affuirs the iuhabitants of Tampico sre in constant dread of the most serious disorders, and & probability of the indiscriminate plunder of the town, THE MEXICAN ENVOY AT ROME ON THE CONDITION OF THE EMPRESS—FULL ACCOUNT OF HER MOVE- MENTS SINCE ARRIVING IN EUROPE—ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF HER MENTAL DISEASE—0CCU- PATION OF MAXIMILIAN'S EMISSARIES AT ROME. Translated from La Voz de Ameriea of New-York. Loxpoy, Oct. 29, 1866, To the Editor of La Voz de America, New York. Stm: By a rare accident 1 have been permitted to see the original of an important paper, from which I was allowed to take the inclosed copy. It is a letter addressed to Maximilian, late of Mexico, by Don Joaquin Velusquez de Leon, his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo- tentiary at Rome, dated at the Eternal City on the 18th inst. You will find in that letter very imgm-ml details of the disease which has affected lately Dofa Carlotts, so-called Empress of Mexico. As much of this letfer as relates to Curlotta’s insanity is of the handwriting of Velasquez's secretary. Such” part of it as relates to his reonal affairs is of Don Joaquin's own hand, He very ikely thought that he could not trust even his own secre- tary with such an impertant communication. Don Joa- ur{n could not disguise his jealousy toward his colleagues, Bon Joaquin Degollado aud the Bishop Ramirez, who bold in Rome the same position that he does. The lotter is aa follows: Sike ; 1 proceed to inform your Majesty of the particulars of tho unfortunate and unexpected eveuts of the last few days. Wocould imagine many calamities to Mexico, but it certainly never entered our pinds when we were aduiring the courage and herole valor of Her Majesty the Empress at ‘leaving your Majesty, enduring the dangers and fatigues of the bad roads to Vera Cruz, in the rainy season, in the midst of yellow fover ; crossing the ocean and coming, as & great negotirtrix, to de- mand rights for Mexico and the execution of treaties, that she would b %0 ungraciously received in Paris as to affect Her Majesty's mind 6o seriously. The desperate conviction of Mex- ico, & country so much beloved by Her Majests, undoubtedly Touch infnence i hor mental excitement, since sho showed some symptoms of derangement at Puebla and Acultzingo. “The effects of her reception in Paris were 60 strong that she had to stop in Botzen, on the way to Rome, where she imagined sho_saw Panlino Lamadrid in disguise, playing on & sireet organ, and fancied herself surrounded by Napoleon's spies and traitors who Lad_poisoued her. On account of the unelg:_cud delay st Botzen I did not meet Her lhjmw unu ither 1 hd gono with Bishop Ramirez to meet ler, because Sefior gollado was sick; & committee from the Pontificial government afso went to meet her. Telegraphic despatchies on the way in- formed me that her Majesty would arrive st Aucona, and the bishop and myself weat to that nn. where we heard that she had stopped at Botzen. While there we visited the holy temple of Loretto. Her Majesty, the Empress, arrived on the 25th, and we left by an es) train for Rome, where we arrived at 11 o'clock at night. At the first water station her Majesty seut for me to come to her car, where she was alone with Mrs. del Barrio, her lady of honor, apd asked me the state of affairs in Rome.

L — MR. JOHNSON'S OPINION—HIS DIFFERENCE WITH CON- GRESS—AN AUTHORIZED STATEMENT. Suffrage should be conferred by the States, that right being guaranteed to each State by the Constitution, Au- drew Johnsen is in favor of qualified sufirage in Tennesseo a8 & citizen of that State. He authorized us, in bebalf of the Chief Executive of the nation, to urge qualified euf- rage for three classes of colored men of this Distrist, in April last, and at bis suggestion we renewed the proposi- tion again in July, only about one week before Congress adjourned. We took special paias to notify several Radi- cal Senators and Representatives who were anxious in- quirers on the subject that the President was in favor of the plan proposed in The Republican. The Radicals wero afraid to touch the question, and went howme to their several States and blacguarded the President, and declared that be was opposed to extending the rignt of suffrge to the black man. Audrew Johuson is in favor of more for the black men in Tennessee, a8 a citizen of that State; he suggested to Gov. Sharkey of Mississippli more for the colored men of that State, and requested and authorized us to urge upon . Congress, at the last session, more for the colored wen ot this District than Charles Sumner, or Henry Wilson, oz any other Congressman of Massachusetts ever urged for the colored men of their State. ‘No colored man who fought in the Usion army, or who owns property, no watter how much, can vote in Massachusetts unless he can read and write. President Johnson goes beyond that. He is in favar of granting sufvage to all colored men, wherecer the Constitution gives him ‘he power to do it, who ean read and write, or who served honorably in the Union army, or who owens property to the ‘extent of two hundred and fifty dollars and upward. The only difference between the President and Conm- gress is, that the former believes that, under the Consti- tution, each State has the right to scttle the question of suffrage for itself. Congress assumes the right to impose it upon the States, Constitution or no Constitution. [Washington Republican, Nov. 19, e TENNESSEE.

NasaviLe, Nov. 19.—In the House of Representatives to-day the bill providing for impartial sufirage and unie ‘versal amnesty wes tabled by a vote of 39 to 2. The East Tennesseans voted almost solid againstit, whilea majority of the Conservatives favored the measure. Tbe bil was introduced by the Radicals, and the more eplightencd of that party warmly esponsed its passage! It is but ' just to say, that some of those opposing would profit by & term or two at some clementary school, and their opposition 15 doubtless traced on lively apprebension that their claim to superiority over negroes lies in existing laws. With East Tennesscavs it is hard to tell which is more bitter, hatred of negroes or hatred of schools. The frieuds of tho measuro are syll sanguive that it will pass before the end of the seseion. Ju the prescut cuse it wua badly managed,
