SEWARD'S DISPATCH ON THE FENIAN TRIALS IN CANADA—THE IRISH QUESTION—THE REFORM MOVEMENT—THE JAMAICA COMMITTEE—AN AMER- or not, will invade, not their own old conntry, but a province in which they have no traditional wrongs to avenge, and where the people have no sympathy with them, and in so doing shoot down volunteers who have turned out for the defense of their own hearths, they have nothing but a short shrift to hope for from us. It would be well if your politicians and journalists could find it in their hearts to treat this Irish question with more candor and honesty. I can appreciate the temptation of a bid for the Irish vote at your elections; but the real Jeaders should be proof against such temptation—and 1 confess that the tone of even the Lest Republicans on this question is a source of much humiliation to your most firm friends here. Even in your own col- umnns I see Ireland classed in the same category with Poland and other oppressed nations, and this without any proof or argument which would not bave applied with at least as great weight to your own Rebel States—for it all comes to tl even assuming your premises to be true: that a considerable portion of the people of Ircland wish to sev: with England. There is no distinetion whatever, in any part of the British Empire, between the English- man and the Irishman, Wherever there is a differ- ence, it is in favor of the weaker people. They are less heavily taxed in their own island. Every cureer in England is perfectly open to them. At our bar they share the highest prizes. Sir Hugh Cairns, who has just been promoted to the Chief-Justiceship in our Court of Chancery, is an Irishman. There are three Irisbmen among our common law judges, and hosts of Irishmen are practicing with suceess at our bar, while there is no Englishman on the Irish bench, or, so far as 1 know, in practice at the Irish bar. In the church and the army the same rule holds, and in the medical profession there are many Irishmen our Jeading physicians and surgeons. State education in Trcland 15 on a far better footing than in England,and in this pect, but for the interecine quarrels of the chur nd sects, there would be nothing more to be wished or fought for, The only real grievances which remain—the established church and the system of land tenures—wonld be abolished in a session, but for the opposition of Irishmen themselves. And I cannot but believe that all men among you who are entitled to speak on these subjects, know all this as well as we. At any rate, we know it well, and, knowing it, shall fight as hard as you did in your great Rebellion to prevent the nation from being broken up, in whatever place the contest may be thrust upon us, and against all comers, and the Republican party in the States ought to be the first to under- stand and sympathize with us in this resolve, To turn to pleasanter subjects, the Reform move- ment is taking a new development, thongh one which I fear is likely to hinder rather than advance the good cause. Hitherto, the agitation since the recess has been carried on chiefly by the Reform League, whore programme is, residential manhood suffrage and vote by ballot. The strength of this organization lies among the nnenfranehised classes, the artizans and mechanics of the great towns, It is they who have swelled the great meetings in Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Scodand during the past three months, Of politicians of standing they have few with them: but Mr. Bright, Mr. Foster, and others of the advan reformers, bave attended their meetings, and expre sympathy with them without indorsing all thei Meantime, another organization, the Reform Union, has been growing iuto prominence, comprising a large number of the foremost Liberal members, and having its strength in the middle classes. This Reform Union holds its first great Congress at Manchester next week, where the delegates are to consider the points which shall be embodied in the mnext Reform bill, and the best means of keeping "l' the agitation till Parliament meets, Nothing could be better if the Reform Union, eminently respectable and virtuous as it is, to all appearance, would only make common cause with the Reform League as far as possible, not accepting their programme, but welcoming them as fellow workers. lfu( gl R&ms that this will not be done. The leaders of the League are, as yet, pot ¢ven inyilgd to the conference, and it is ll’u(ud (5 iflpr%-h will be made against them and their doings. Unless wiser counsels prevail the cause of Reform will be hindered rather than beiped by the Manchester gathering. Ng | doubt this unlucky divistei fa the Reforin” camp is discussed in the meetings of the Tory Cabinet, which are being held daily. The result may very possibly be, that they will bring in no bill at all, to the infinite content of Squire Archy and Mr. Lowe, who has lately been driven to the use of very strong Janguage in denouncing the supposed intention of the Government to truckle to the popular ery, and desert their old principles of opposition to the swallest surrender of power by '« privileged classes. Many advanced Liberals deci at this Manchester demon- stration will be somewhat in the nature of the great wigwam, which met with fuch a flourish of trumpets the other day at Philadelpbia, and ended in such un- expected and undesired resuits for its conveners and supporters. And they can certainly point to & num- ber of honorable gentlemen who will figure at it, whose zeal for reform is of the very mildest kind. On this point, however, I hope to advance you further next week.

Wiom Our Special Correspondent. Loxpoy, Nov. 17, 1866, The sensation this week here Las been the publica- tion of Mr. Seward’s dispatch to Sir Frederick Bruce {on the subject of the two wretched men, Lynch and McMahon, who are lying under sentence of death at “Toronto. 1 regret to say that the impression it has made in England is one which all friends to both countries must deeply regret. It is regarded as a dis- inct threat, and a threat conveyed in an insulting ’nnd spobbish form, to serve the political ends of the 'writer and pander to the bombastic instincts of your mob. A moderate and Liboral paper, such as The Pall Mall Gazette, interprets it thus: “*We will enjoy the pleasure of dictating to you and giving you orders Ml it suits our convenience to take possession of your ominions. You are only tenants on sufferance, and which the proceedings will lie. Of course the chance of a conviction is far less under these circumstances than if he could have been arraigned for “*illegally gulling to death,” or, in fact, if any milder form could ave been bit upon. That the acts committed amount to willful murder, technically speaking, fow lawyers here doubt; but it is almost out of the question to expect to find a special jury who will face the verdict of guilty on this count in such a case. An ordinary man can searcely master the doctrine of our criminal law, that where the act has been illegal the question of motive is not one which is to be taken iuto con- sideration on the main question of guilty or not guilty, though it may well be used in mitigation of penalty. The defenders of Gov. Eyre have meantime gained a small triumph at starting by upsetting the retainer of the Jamaica Committee to Mr. Coleridge, the mem- ber for Exeter, who is the most eloguent of all our oriminal lawyers. The solicitor for the Committee had carelessly given the retainer in the name of the Jamaica Committee. The solicitor for the Eyre de- fense fund gives a retainer himself, and objects that his oppouent's retainer is bad, on the ground that the Jamaica Committee have no legal existence, that ‘we will make you feel it.” This is their rendering of | they are not a corporation, nor have they any other +the dispatch, and I own I agree withit.

NEW PAGE IN ITALY'S HISTORY—THE KING'S EN- TRY INTO VEN —THE ROYAL GALLEV=—GRAND DISPLAY OF PRIVATE GONDOLAS—THE ROVAL CORTEGE—ARTISTI CTASTE OF THE VENETIANS— THE POPULAR WELCOME 70 VICTOR EMANUEL. From Our Special Correrpondent. Vesice, Nov. 7, 1666, To-day Italy has a rare opportunity for beginning a new page in ber history,—she is placed in a most favorable position, by the acquisition of Vene- tia, one of the richest provinces of all Europe; a country which, though it formed only one-seventh of the territory of Austria, yielded one-fourth of her en- tire revenus ud althongh extravagant expendi- tures for the ** Quadrilateral” and other defenses to retain possession of this rich field, together with the cost of re-subjugating Venice in 1548, added to the expensive war of '59 and the fatal campaign of 66, will far outweigh the entire profit of their 52 years’ cceupation of this valuavle Province—yet to Italy it irely different problem. The State of ed by every tie of feeling and interest , will unite to form one complete govern- Venice furnishes a noble harbor and navy- ment, yard, with all the material, in her forests and adjacent mountains, for creating and sustaining a navy; with a soil on the main land, fertile beyond l‘nnpldmm" a geographical surface of wonderful variety of hizhlaud and lowland, rivers and sea, a system of railway well begun—making, as a whole, a~ compliment to the <o icomplete Italy for which Rome alone is d to form a mnation of rarest physical and mmetry. To-day dawns a future of grand achievements and noble history to Italy, if only her people appreciate their advantages, and, with en- Jarged and enlightened views take hold strongly of the work before them, completing, as a basis to the national structure the work already begun of popular education and freedom from the thraldom of Papacy. But all these practical queries and problems do not intrude upon the minds of the people, fully occupied with a far more congenial theme on this day, o fong and hopefully waited for by the expectant Venetians, and the not less impatient foreigners, among whom are a multitude of Americans, who have been wait o for many days, and others for weeks, in the hotels and boarding-houses, for the advent of the King, which has & red almost too | But to-day he comes—the King himself—a real live speci- wen of true royalty—a thoronghly liberal King. The hour of noon is struck, and the great event of the century, for the Italians, is on the carpet. Vene the prize of victory and diplomacy, is to-day the exultation of the whole nation and the unbounded enthusiasm of all Venetiang, publicly given to and received by Victor Emanuel, who enters this historic city with all the pomp and circnmstance of a con- queror—not to receive the unwilling allegiance of a subjugated people, but to be received with hearty welcome, as the friend and savior of a nation, who for more than half a century bave been subjected to the bumiliation of a foreign rule, For an American, who has never visited Venice, it is difficult to imagine how the grand ceremony of the reception of royalty ean be suitably carried ont with- nen, out the usual cavales of mounted hors escorting long lines of carriages, drawn by fin caparisoned horses. The clatter of boof and rumble of wheels naturally mingle in our ideas of parade and public demonstration; but quite the opposite here. The expert gondoliers moye their fairy car- ringes upon the sea-paths, without the least sound. The **Grand Canal” to-day, though crowded with crafts of every deseription and size, gliding hither and thither, almost tonching each other, as they swiftly pass up and down, and yot guided with such consummate shill, as never to come intg gollision, the g y-moving oar passing through the water so nojselessly, that a whole procession of these sea- carriages would not awak¢n an echo. Indeed the entry Of the froops, o few days ago, seemed in their passage down the canals more like a vision of some ¢loudy pageant in the sunset than an actual movement of arned men of war; the memory of it, like every- thing else in Venice, steals back over the seuses more a8 & remembered dream than anything real, and one hardly dares press the reality too far, for fear of dis- pelliug so beautiful a delusion, The effect of the pageant to-day was hightened a hundredfold by the misty haze which all the morning had been hanging over the city, and threatening dis- appointments to the expectant crowds, who had not dreamed that so auspicious a day could be otherwise than fair. As the hour approached for the King's en- try, the clouds secmed lifted as a curtain to some thentrical scene. As the gun was discharged, an- nouncing the arrival of the royal cortege at the depot, all the bells of th city instautly rang out their come, in prolonged chimes, from every dome and tower and convent spire of the numerous island cities of the ** Lagune.” The King leaving the royal rail- way carriage, and passing under a trmphal arch of evergreens erected in front of the depot, stepped into a maguificent barge prepared for the occasion, con- structed in the old arsenal of the Republic, where wi also of old created that wonder of nautical beauty— the renowned ** Bucintoro,” Having had the pleasure of going on board the King's galley the day before His Majesty, I noted for the benefit of your readers that it was b0 feet in length, covered on the ontside with richly gilded carvings. On the stern were life-sized and gilded female figures, representing ** Venezia " in the act of crowning Italy—the former standing a little behind and at one side of the latter, who was represented in @ sitting posture. The group was completed by a smaller figure, a cherub applauding. On the prow of the boat stood the Lion of St. Mark— gilded of course—resting one foot on an open book, on whose page was painted the old-time blessing, of revered memory—** Peace to thee, Mark, my Evange- list.” In the center was raised the canopy of dark crimson velvet, lined with white satin, and decorated with blue satin bangings, embroidered with gold, and trimmed with guld ringe. The fairy floating palace was managed by eighteen rowers, in a livery of very full and very short white satin Turkish trowsers, white silk hose reaching above the knee, blue satin slippers with huge white rosettes, blue satin coats wil!n full eleeves, composed of alternate {mfllngl of blue and white; red sashes and unique red caps. Ten other of these aquatic fantasies were built at the arsenal at public expense, for the convenience of the public officials and the municipal authorities. These, of course, though magnificent, did not attempt competi- tion with that designed for the King. Each had its fancifully constructed prow and stern, its gilded orna- ments, and its canopy of blue, or red, or green, or purple, or pink velvet, lined with white silk, and all were manned with oarsmen in fancy livery, either hnnnonilinfi; with, or in agreeable contrast to, their respective barges. Superior to these, however, were quite & number of other fancy crafts, the results or oxponents, rather, of the loyalty of several combina- tions and clubs, represonting the manufacturing, mer- cantile, and other interests, One of these, in particu- lar, struck me with its light, buoyant appearance. The ornaments of the wooden part were entirely gilded, the prow rolling up in the form of a huge golden dolphin, the unornamental portion of a glis- teniug white. The canopy of whit satin, both inside and out, decorated ouly with rich gold fringe aud embroidery. The twelve rowers wore the universall pular short, white satin, Turkish trowsers, witl ong white hose, green velvet slippers, aud coats of the same color, with full sleeves of alternate puffings of white and green. 8till another exquisitely beauti- ful effect was obtained by & canopy of pink, white- lined velvet, supported Dy gilded mermaids rising from the wea. Nor were the unfailing patriotic young ladies, who represent different states or provinces, as the case may be, wanting on this oceasion. They were robed in white cashmere, with tri-colored sashes, and were followed by a boat repeating the same idea in its construction. The wealthy citizens seemed to vie with each other in the arravgement and decorations of their private gondolas. Srh»udid effects were produced by the unique drosses ol the gondoliers, who, it must not be omitted to men- tion, are accustomed to stand in their gondolas, thus displaying to full advantage their ornaments and costumes—while they press upon, instead of “pulling at the oars"—facing the prow, and by their graceful motions greatly increasing the lively appearance of the scene. The old customs of the ancieut Venetian ondoliers were reproduced in many of these privato iveries. One gondola was rowed by six govdoliers in white satin pants, short and fall; of course, long, red liose, #il ver knee-buekles, elippers, red velvet jackets, anct half belmet caps, Another was propelled by half » dezen stalwart fellows in “'tights"—one leg of white, and pne of red, purple velvet jackcts and highly colored turbans. In another the ouly eolor allowed wae the short and full gold colored satin breeches and largo sguare caus of the same color and material. the remainder of the costume being white, exceptivg the old colored rosettes on the slippers. In another gon- ola was a full display of the Malay costume, the faces of the mien so very dark as to incur i suspicion, at least, of their purity—if paiut or powder be congidered a defilement—as I believe it isfi gome social reformers who certainly have the practice of the world very much against them, Many richly gilded galleys were rowed by men in the costumes of the different oriental nations, 1t would be impossible to give an adequate idea of the progress of the royal cortege down the and Canal.” It rivals ali power of description. To attempt to condense within the narrow limits of a letter all the grandeur and the peculiar beauty of this most _imposing pageant, would be as impossible as painting it all npen canvas, any oue of the thonsand views being sufficient for & picture of rare interest. The ** Tableanx vivaut " were exquisitely arranged, in all the gay cquipage of the days of the ** Republic’s " glory. The spirits of old Venction history seemed to be peering out of the shadowy haze which softened the whole atmosphere and rendered the scene full of fancy as a vigion of dream-land—the picture even uh-mgmfi with the irregular movements of the galleys an barges and goudolas adown this curving street of the sea. The occasion demoustrated the fine taste of the Venetians, and showed that they had inherited that pecaliar love for briliiant displays on water which so charaeterized their ancestors, as in ages past to re- the enactment of a code of ** sumptuary” laws ulating and restraining their extravagance in this tion, especially the law carrying the matter, per- to the opposite extreme in_imposing the gloomy Lay “ Felt,” which seews like a pall upon the graceful gondola, The fancy of the Venetians must have been severely taxed, as there could not be found, in all the varied scene, uny two boats similarly arranged, nor the cos- tume of any two sets of gondoliers alike, Remem- ber, also, that no private gondola was allowed on the canal to-day without baving oarsmen in fancy dress. Multiply this freak of one’s imagination, both in the costumes of the men and the drapery of the gondolas, by hundreds, and place in these fancy crafts all the style of the city, once famons for dress and equipage, and you bave some idea of the pieture, inclosed as it was on either side with palace “wally, whose ancient architecture was hightened in beauty beneath the prismatic bues of national colors and rich draperies of silk and satin and velvets and old Venetian tapestries of rare and rich designg. As the procession passed down the canal no order was obscerved except by the large state barges, which Kept in order of their rauk; the king's galley being in front, preceded by two beautiful horses of Neptune beautitully adorned with loug floating trains of red, white aud green crape and managed by most expert oarsmen who sped bither and thither to elear the way for his Majesty. The numerous retinue of gondolas were allowed to play around the larger barges at pleasure, continually chavging the scene and waking it most varied and v It required no fancy to create scenes for this day’s celebrations. Venice was for once done in her romantic productions by her peculiarly characteristic clement, The sea Lad tgken charge of the festivities, and with a cloudy vail of mist opéned and closed the different scenes in the most fantastic manner. The haze, which in the morning rested so heavily ou the whole city, and which lifted as a curtain at the en- trance of the King. and wreathed turrets, and towers, and domes in its soft folds, now at the close of day lifted itself once more from off the great campanile of the Piazza and revealed the tall form of St. Mark, Venice's patron saint, with wings expanded, and anns extended in the attitude of benediction. It was an omen much desired, and _eagerly watched for by the superstitious people, and «d with exultant delight when it was given them. They were content even when the jealous clond covered him again from their sight. Without this the day would have been ominous ot evil to thew, notwithstanding abundant and sub- stuntinl testimonies of the loyaity of the masses to the K with it, though only for & moment, they were satisfied. —-— BERLIN.

From Our Special Correpondent. . Brnwix, Thursday, Nov. &, 1666, Our political vacation, which has lasted two months, i bow 8t 4 A4, The Prussian Parliament will reassemble in s fov days. But the Ministry has as yet prepared none of those weisyrée for the organization of the Government in the new Frovinees which it promised. Accordingly, except the military arrangements, which the King alone, with his general Staff, earcs for, nothing bas been done for organization, The Ministers are occupied daily with changing slight evils in the new Provinces, in order to reconcile the latter with the new Government. In these annexed States tho former Governments had repolled the demands of our times so obstinately that the Prussian Government now—which truly is not very liberal—is able to alleviate watters by the repeal of oppressive obsolete laws. Thus in Hanover, Hessc, and Nassau, for instance, marriage could be solemnized only when the parties pos- sessed a certain amount of property. This limitation was very oppressive to the poorer classes, and has been, by the way, & tolerably frequent reason of emigration to America. These classes recognize the repeal of this restriction as & rest blessing, and it has already benefited public mor; hecause many who bave lived i concubinage have n by Ily married. An American resder cannot con- " much peronal liberty has been restraived in se old States by the patriarchal oversight of the Govern- wents which was designed to prevent pauperism. The result naturally was, t I these limitations of persona! liberty iutended to poverty, have exactly produced si. In Prussia, the ** despoti eclaire " of Frede- removed the greater part of these old laws, so.that the F 1 arrangements, iu spite of the illiberal spirit of the present Government, really amount to & pro- gress for those States. But these petty weasures do not provide for the yuvemmemuloriuniutmn of the new Prove inces, and the ivactivity of the Goverment, which hus continued since the end” of tho war, cannot last longer without great danger. The reason of this inactivity is to be found in the ab- sence of the soul of the Cabinet, Count Bismark illuess still detains bim in the country. His sufferings have increased 50 much during the last fow wocks, that his wdvice cannot be obtaimed even on the most important cireowstances. Baron Baviguy, for instance, was directed to cousult him confidentially on various points in the Treaty with Saxony, But Count Bismark’s fumily declared that such conversation was immpossible, beeause the excite- ment would produce dangerous consequences. It is hardly to be u&efled that he will come to Berlin to the opening of the Parliameut, and as he cannot rewain on the island of the Baltic in the Winter, his family are desirous that he should fio South, either to the Lake of Geneva or 10 one of the lakes of Upper Italy. At the Lake of Gieneva he would meet oue of his colleagues, Gen. Roon, the Minister of ‘War, who is also staying there for his health's sake. Though it is not atall l!rlllfi that both these statesinen have suffered severely in health from the cfforts and excitement of the last year, there are many who do not believe in this sickness, but regard it as o pre- text. It is indeed a wide-spread opirion that Count Bis- mark and Gen. Roon have demsuded from the King change of the Ministry, wishing to replace the prescnt Ministers of Justice, of the Interior and of Edueation, by Liberals, or at least by new men who have not compro- mised themsolves so complotely as those gentlemen by reactionnry measures, The King has delayed action in the matter, and has also declined to accept the offered resignation of Count Bismark and Gen. Roou. Both Ministers have accordingly retired sulkily, like Achilles to his tent, waiting for the King to wilhr.d ‘ de to their This general opiuion is correct so far as s & Ministry-crisis, but wrong iu reference to ness of the two Ministers; Count Bismark at least ring greatly, and all who had opgoflunily of observing him after the paign, that a great ohnnT- nd oceurred in him, tgnl his nervous systeu especially bad suffored much. On the other hand, how- ever, it i8 certain, a8 above mentioned, that there is u dis- reetnont in the llunn?» ud that Count Bismark and [oneral Roon would be glud to get rid of their colleagues. 1 b good grounds for bolieving that this Ministerial crisis_not only has existed, but still exists, and that the King is only waiting to seo whother Count Bismark will ba in condition to assums the direction of affuirs. As this it not likely to be the case, and as the King, from bis temperament and age, does not like changes of and bas thus long deferred action, the Ministry w bly last sometime longer, the business of the chi provisorily comuiitted to another. His representativo in ensual business and transactions with Embassadors, is the Under Secretary of State, Baron Von Thiele, und in German affairs, Savigny; the latter will be the successor of Count Bismark, if he himselt does not return, because smong all Prussian Diplomatists he has most exnctly embraced Count _Bismark's prineipl aud id the crisis before the war had pommunication with him. Savigny was, st that time, Prussisu Delegate to the German Confederation, and sic- mmu{‘ ecuted the difficult task imposed on him by Count Bismark, namely, first, to provoke his oppon, and then, by apparent concessions, to emboldon thew, Jead them on to incautions st Ho is, Lows not a man of such bigh egdowmouts ws Couut Biw 1y political carcer has beon smoothed by the fact that be is the on of a distinguished father, the renowned Professor of Jurisprudence, who was afterward Mimster of Justice. He has, a8 vet, not distinguished himesclf, except by his action in Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and it is hard to say whether his success here is to be aseribed more to his own wogacity, Of to the blindness of his opponents. It is, how- over, very doubtful whether ho is equal to the demands ot the new position which Prussia has gained by the war. Great changes have occurred, during the past six months, in the mutua! relations of the Great Powers, Oceurrences which otherwise world Lave served oply to smuse the sa- loous of the Court, or of diplomatic eircles, have attained the siguificance of secrets, from which we try to judge of the future. The visit of the French Ewbassador Extraordinary, Tel- leyrand Perigord, on his way to St. Petersburg, has given new interest to the question with which the whole world is now occupied, namely, the alliances which the new Prussia will make, or which will be made against ber. As opposed to the ramors of coldness between the two Couits, we bave the extraordinary friendliness shown toward Count Talleyrand duning his stay here, and the special kindncss with which the King treated him, Tal- leyraud staid, not in the liotel of the French Embassy, but in the Hotel D’Atgleterre. The King not only re- turned all biy visits in the hotel, but after the andience of leave, visited him again, and remained with him more than an hour. 'I'he conversation on the corridor, when he took leave, Talleyrand accompanying him to the carriage, was, on the King's part, very frieadly and cordial. The impression made on the bystanders was that the King was pleased with the communieation wade him by the Count. Another visit, that of the Prince of Wales, produced an ex- netly aK,.mim impression, The Prineo of Walos passed through Berlin on his way to the marriage of his sister- in-law, the Princess of Denmark, with the heir to the Prussian crown. But his visit, notwithstanding his rela- tionskip, was reccived with as much coolness as the Freveh Embassador’s called forth fiiendliness. The Prince was at first indisposed to visit Beilin on this occasion, and proposed 10 go to St. Petersburg by sea, notwithstand- ing the unfavorable season. However, tho unpleasantness of such & journey determined him to travel by land, and to visit Berlin. fle announced that he would ‘arrive Sat- urday morvirg; nevertheless, bis brotherin-law, the Crown Prince, sct out for St, Petersburg 12 hours before, and the sawe morning the King, with his le Conrt, celebrated, by the usual hunt, St. Hub y. The Prince met only his sister, the Crown Prince: , wnd the same evening, without sceing any other of the royal fai- ily, set out for St. Petersburg. Such cool, nay, discourte- o, treatment of so near a relative, and the heir to the throne of powerful England, has naturally excited atten- tion. And the attention is the closer from the contrast millly the kind receptionof the Freneh and Kussian sadors, The simultancous anxiety exhibited to cultivate the friendship of France and Russia bas given rise to the sup- position, that Prussia hasnot e# yet abandoaed the hope triple alliance between Fratce, Russia and herself. 'l( is kuown that this is Count Bismark’s favorite scheme, Ihe insurrection in Polaud has for three years rendered this impossible, because Frauce and Russia on this point were opposed to one another, Now the circumstances are more fuvorable. The Polish question is set aside, and Prussia occupies Iow a miore cowmanding position since theend of the late war, The only questiou is, whether Count Bismurk has suceceded in presenting o plan which will reconcile the elaimsof France and Russia i the East, and which could be accepted by both Powers, If such a plan ehould be found, we ‘may reckon on this, that the husiness will relate to the heritage, not of one sick man, but of two; that Austria will be treated like Turkey. However that mny be, the King now holds fust to the idea of an alliavce with France and Russia. And his anxicty in this respect appears too natural when we con- sider the bLostility whieh Prussis now wore than ever mects with in Vienna, and in_the Courts of the lately vanquished German Princes, and see the zeal which the ultra-Catholic party in Germany, Austria and Franee show in organizing @ great coalition agwinst Protestant Pruss But whether Prussia will su d in gaining over France, notwithstanding the hostility of the Catholie clergy in France toward Piussis, is very doubtful. But allinnce with Russia aloue is not worth much to us, be- cause in w European war she is weak, and the alliance with Russian despotism is usfavorable to the developwent of that enthusiasm for religious, political and national free- dom which would be our best weapon in & war against France and Austria, under the lead of the Catbolie party. gt — COLOGNE, THE ORIENTAL QUESTION AXD THE PRENCH—OOMPLI- CATIONS IN NORTHERN GERMANY—THE NEW PRUS- SIAN PROVINCES — BISMARK'S DIFFICULTIES— THE NEW SESSION OF THE PRUSSIAN PARLIAMENT. From Our Special Correspondent. CoLoaxk, Nov. 16, 1866, The Fast, the mysterious, balf known Orient, Las at all times had a great attraction for the French; from the time of the Crusades and Saint Louis's expedition to Africa, down to the fist Napoleow's invasion of Egypt, Bourmont's and his followers' conquest of Algiers,and lat- terly the present Emperor’s wars in the Levant, in China, Siam and the eastern soas, the French have always placed the greatest hopes for brilliant successes in that far Orient, but in reality they have only cowe to harm in all their en- terprises in that direction, to losses of hundred of millions of money and thousands of lives. The oricntal question is once more loowing in the distance and impressing the French public. ‘The onental question, which is sgain brought into the foreground by sowe papers of Vienna and Parig, serves for the moment only for a diplomatic iutrigue, which has its first origin in Romwe, and has been artfully spun out by the Nuuciature and the Austrian Embassy. Official France had also an interest in the raising of this question, in order to sound the eventusl dispositions at St. Petersburg aud at Berlin. So there have been some alarm guns fired in the Presse, the organ of the Roman finance magnate, Mirés, in the Memorial D plomatique, the organ of Prince Motternich, in the France, .fio puper of tho clerical party at the French court, aud in the Monde, the mouthpiece of the French Ultrawontanes, all of which declare the cabinets of Berlin and St. Petersburg to bo the real wolves in sheep skins, who are going to devour the Padishal, In good earnest, they did themselves not believe in what they said, but they hoped to forwerd and to prepare by “these ru- wors the approseh of an alliance between Austria, reformed by Count Beust, and France, which bas of late turned more to the clerical side. 'This intrigue has not as yet succeeded; Napoleon bas not yet been convinced of ihe vitalit hand, and of Austria, keops to the policy of the free not think of a campaign on the Rhbine, to mies, the Legitimists, and the Orleans party, good friends, the clericals, would like to in- duce bim, in order to bring him to a fall. Nevertheless, the phautom of & Russo-Prussian alliance was not wlto- ther unwelcowe, for the suke of frightening the nation 1uto the necessary millions for the vew organization of the army, and therefore it left to play its part. Any- body, though, who has taken a look behind ‘the scenes will remember the desperute offorts that were made on the part of King William, just before the annexations, to per- suade him to reéstablish the different prinees overthrown l:( his army—ineffectual efforts, though backed by the Rus- slan Court; ther‘onlr had some success in the case of the Grand-Duke of Hessia, the brother-in of the Czar, and whose neg)luw aud heir is brother-in-law to the Crown- Prince of Prussia and son-in-law to Queen Victoria. The soul of all these exertions was Count Oubril, the Russian Embassador, who tried even to apply to the xs-;fi"- plous. wewory of his deceased brother to softon hi smark’s severer reasons trinmphed over this cousing, ut nobody acquainted with the Russian Court, avd knowing is relations with the German widdle and small States, and the tondencies of the high North German aristoe- racy, would imagine that Bismark should be in such high favor with the Czar, or be so much influenced by his State-Chancellor as to make him {mn in the oriental pmé:cll of Russia, and, by a feeling of duty or inclination, 1o be tempted to an slliatce ad hoc for the only advantage of Russin. The Cabinet of Berlin has enough and more thanenough to do with the digestion of its North-German incorporations, At the sume time it has to provide for the Danpish question, which might easily produce an after game for North Schleswig, and has to prepare for a very entangled piece of work \rfm the German Parlisment, Up to this moment nobody really knows what this Parlisment is to be, and what is be doue with it. 'The wost ratiousl thing would seem to be, to convoeate it ovly for the sake of its amalgamation with the Prussiau Chambers by itsown vote; in such away the latter would have to decide of gene- ral aflsirs conjointly with the Represeutatives of the whole North German Coufederacy, whereas the private affuirs of each State would be discussed in its own private session, Iu this way the necossary reform of the Prussian House of Lords would be perhaps easier attaived to. But hardly such a simplification of the North Gernoan judicial ma- chinery will be realized in the next years to come, ~ As the to-day, we shall bave boforehand to pass o sossion of the Prussian Parhament, which has been opened on the 12th of November. After that, haps in February, or us soon a8 possible, the convocation of the North German Parlisment will follow. With the 15t of fOctober, 1867, the interreguum iu the newly cou- nected Provinces will cease, and ia the Prussian Chambers. then in session, the Reprosentatives of Haunover, Hesaia, Nassau, end Frankfort will take thoir scats. Schleswig, Holstein, and Lauenburg are not yet fully conneeted, and only in the session now beginuing, ® final arrange- ment exlpecud. all woll, the Ell Duchies will likewise send their Deputies to the Prussian Sccond Chamber in next Autuma, with the ex- ception of that part of North Sohleswig to which f«nanl vote on its national political state is reserved in he treaty of Nickolsburg. It is not to be doubted that the Danwsh district, certain strategical demarkae tion, will return to But the fixation of such & line will raise great debates at Berlin, for a considerable number of Prussian military authoritics are not inclined 10 cedo n greater of the territory in regard to a most efticacions line of defonse, and the leading members of the Cabinet will likewise not be incliued to relinquish lagds which have been gained by the sword with Aus- tnw's aid, and the cossion of whichi has been foreed from Augtria Uy the sword.

It is sure that a con- siderable number of members for the First Chamber will be chosen from out the new annexed counts but still this is not guite ¥o casily done as in Italy, re the King, immediately after the vote of Venetia, inasugurated the incorpo stion” of that Province by nominating a num- ber of eminent Venetian patriots to members of the Senate. The new Prussian provinces come to about one- fifth of the former Prussisn territory, m.i‘.“ tho House of Lords onght to be augmented by 36 to 40 new members, and be bronght to about the number of 215 to 20, Should the eleetiops fall upon liberal men, such us are favorable to the demands of the present, thero will be ut least a hope that the reactionary squirearchy will not continue to predominate, and that this stubborn hody will in time become more tractable. A reorganiza- tion of the Cabinet will then become inevitable; but more probably such an cvent will take place before the end ot the present session. Count Bismark has more than onco shown his good will, but he has not as yot been able to ru\wl, beeause the capacities of the Liberal y do not ike to expese themeselves by entering into a Cabinet which, in regard to interior questions, has given so much gwumi to autipathy, and beeause the King is not willing to part with men int good times who in times havo been stand- ing to bim so truly, Naturally such considerations eannct rule forever, and it will become necossary to_remove for & beginuing the Minister of Justice, Count sur Lippe, a very unpopular and unfit man, if untoward conflicts with the Second Chauber of the House shall be avoided. Al this will show that Count Bismark has for the moment enough hard nuts to crack of his own, and will not be over hlll‘ to lend bis teeth tothe Emperor of Russia in order to help bim iu devouring the Turks. The new ression of the Prussian Parliament has been opened on the 12th of November, under bappy suspices. The Government has hastened to lay the budiget for 1867 on the table of the Second Chamber ‘in the first iary sitting. At the same time, the Minister of Finance gave & view of the state houschold, which is lurpmirn‘ily [avor- able. ‘The expense for the war has been coverad without ony loaw, aud, worcover, the Staats Schatz (the Stato Treasury) has roceived a donation of 27} millions of tha- lers. Seven millions more sre at disposal, aud are to bo applied to improvements of the salaries of ¢ivil function- aries and of the teachers, of the universitics’ funds, the pay of the soldiers, and to different ameliorations of a similar kind, which have been long since looked for. Let- ter go is to be reduced. For edueational purposes and scientific objects, 2,400,000 thalers are to be adopted, the greater part for elementary schools; 24,000 thalers for the universities, With a small majority, the Chamber hias voted for examining the budget in the house, not, as formerly, by committee, Notwithstanding the session will be short, in view of accelerating the convoeation of the general Parliament, the old ics in the house are loosing their hold, and everything drives to make an end to the provisory state, o ——— PARIS. | THE REVIEW OF THE GARRISON OF PARIS—TIR POPR'S ALLOCUTIONS—SPAIN'S OFFER OF A REFUGE TO PIUS—THE PRINUESS CARLOIIA'S HEALTH—TAL- LEYRAND.
