IJt Vrtss+ WEDNESDAY, DIAY 4, 1864 Mexico. Marrow° declared nothing but the truth w h en he said, almost epigrammatically, that some men are born to greatness, that some achieve greatness, and that some have greatness thrust upon them. The spick and-span new Emperor of Mexico certainly stands in the last-named category. Yet a short time ago he was only the next brother of the. Emperor of Austria, and now, at the will of the Emperor of the French, he holds the sceptre of Mexico, translated from a republic to an empire, expressly for his special advantage, We look twelve years back,- when Na_roLF.oN was only President of the French republic, and see how the German princes, wlio had marriageable daughters and sisters, snubbed him in his ambitious effort to obtain a wife out of their crowd, Austria, especially, treating him with that cold civility which cuts like a keen Damascus blade. We think of a more recent time, at Villa Franca, when the two Emperors had that decisive interview which ended in Austria's confessing herself beaten, and consenting to surrender LOM briiily to VICTOR EM MANUEL of Sardinia. Surely the insult of 1852 was atoned for by the submission of 1859. But this does not suffice for _NAPOLEON, who heaps coals of. lire on the head of FRANCIS JOSEPH, by selecting, hits brother to wear the imperial diadem of Mexico. There were two hitches on the accept ance, however, one being personal, and the ether Material. 3.l..axprutrart, who is some two years younger than his bro ther, the Emperor of Austria, ivat heir-prestunntive to the throne, until An gust, 1858, when Fnaxers JOSEPH'S only son, the heir-apparent, was bore. If that child, not yet six years old, whose Mother . is consumptive, should die, and the Empe; ror of Austria have no other male issue, Maxi.urmax would be heir to the throne, and, in the event of surviving his brother, would have the. right of succession to the throne of Austria. Now, though not un willing to take advantage of the chances which have cast the Mexican crown at his acceptance, 111AxIMILIAN hesitated to com ply with his brother's requirement that, on becoming Emperor of Mexico, he should abandon all claim or right, under any eir 7 cumstances, to the Austrian succession. It is very possible—we should say that it is very probable—that monarchy may prove a -failure in Mexico, and that MAXIMILIAN may have to return to Europe, with broken fortunes. But the concession which he has finally made, as the price of his brother's permitting him to accept a foreign crown, is that, whatever may betide, he will never seek to resume his position as an Austrian prince. The Archduke CHARLES, his younger brother, steps into his shoes, and may one day wear the crown of Austria. MaxnathraaT ventures on an ambitious ex periment, anti may realize the truth of the table of the dog and the shadow. The other horn of the dilemma was—the impossibility of assuming sovereign power in Mexico, without having a good supply of money to " foot the bill." By NAPOLEON'S influence, a loan will be raised for Mexico from European capitalists. The amount will be $87,250,000. Out of this, forthe expenses. of the French in Mexico, up to July, 1864, NAPOLEON will deduct $12,200,000. There are now some 40,000 French troops in Mexico, whose number is to be reduced, Its early as possible, to 25,000, and for tacit of these men—besides subsistence, clothing, and pay—Mexico must pay $2OO to France, making an annual disbursement, literally for blood-money, of $5,000,000. Moreover, a German legion of 5,000 vo lunteers will also proceed to Mexico, and the cost of maintaining them has to be added to the other expenses. After paying the war - Indemnity to France, there will zo r tg if o it l x ot iF:,, a rrp to- commence business with as Emperor, with a further yearly drain of $5,000,000 to France, and also the pay, clothing, and subsistence of 25,000 French soldiers. In fact, MAXDIILIAN has little chance of getting on, in Mexico, without more mo ney. A second loan can scarcely be ob tained in Europe_ His only chance, against I hat impecuniosity which is as unpleasant to crowned heads as to less pretentious in dividuals, soon will be, to seize the Church property, which is of immense value in Mexico, and if he attempt this, the conse quent opposition from the powerful Catho lic clergy will be found perplexing, if not fatal. All things considered, the - United States hate nothing to apprehend from the Emperor of Mexico, should he be so ill-ad vised as to enter into hostility with us. The Pay of Colored Soldiers. In early youth we have all learned, under the terrors of the birch, that Ira breads furor est—anger is temporary madness ; but, sacred as we are in the habit of holding the maxims of our spelling books, the pub lic events of the last twenty years will force us to erase the brevis from that time worn adage. For surely there can scarcely be an element of soundness in the minds that conceived and dared to attempt to carry out the slaveholders' rebellion. There were energy, intellect, courage, am bition ; bus all so directed, so entirely subordinated to the accomplishment of a fixed . purpose, which is repugnant to the natural course of human affairs, as to form a genuine instance of insanity ; one which would be easier capable of proof than many that have been confidently relied upon in courts of law. Nowhere is this mental obliquity more clearly or frequently manifested than in the discussions of our quack Union-savers, who are so horrified at the negro having his freedom bestowed upon him. Nothing can be more billy, more childishly illogical, than their reasoning (?) on this their fa vorite topic of debate and conversation. " Do you consider a negro equal to a white man ?" " No." " Then why do you make him equal ?" is the -triumphant an saver ; and it is astounding, as well.las miliating, that so many of our people are imposed on by this nonsense. Grant, for the sake of, the argument, that the negroes are physically and mentally inferior to the ' whites ; that they are of a different race and separate origin ; how, in the name of all that is miraculous, is legislation to, make them our equals ? Wild horses are free, domestic horses are enslaved ; are, therefore, wild horses equal to a white man? Those who class negroes with mules may get out of this dilemma as they can. Is the signature of ABRAHAM LuccoLN able to raise a stupid, lazy, ignorant, degraded negro, who has never seen anything but a cotton field, to the average level of the whites of this country ? There are two reasons why this course of reasoning is so common and so conclusive to Southern minds. In the first place, they know that many negroes are capable of equalling some of the best of the whites, and that many of the whites are as low as the most degraded negro. By the edict of emancipation, the black has an opportuni ty 'of carrying equalweight in his race with the white, and many a poor devil in a white skin sees, with prophetic eyes, a long procession of the despised sons of Ham passing him on the road to power and wealth, so fast that "you would think h e was tied to a post." Hine aim lachrymm. In the second place, the only criterion of political equality among the Southerners has been immunity from the whip. There were but two classes, the " whipper," and he who was liable to be " whipped." The meanest - white could with impunity kick or rob a negro, and the latter would not dare to resist, nor would he be protected if he should. Theoretically, this state of things is abolished by the proclamation of emanci pation, and eight millions of people are thereby deprived of the luxury of knowing for certain that they do not belong to the - jowest order of human beings -_a piece of inhuman cruelty unparalleled in the his tory of the world. We need not expect that genuine dyed in-the-wool pro-slavery men will ever com prehend any policy or any legislation in regard to the blacks which proceeds on the assumption of their liberty. They cannot conceive of so elevated a thought any more than a sieve can hold water. Their minds and characters are so constructed as to make the propriety of African slavery appear as natural to them as the rising of the sun or the changes of the moon. They cannot explain it nor give any good reason for it any more than they can for the astronomical Phenomena, but they believe in it with the stupid obsti nacy of ignorance and bigotry. Our only course is to go on as we have begun, guided by our common sense and by the progress of the freedmen themselves. The measure equalizing the payment of colored and white troops is a step in the right direction. Colored troops are doing the • service for which white troops would otherwise be required, and, experi ence goes to show, will, after an equal amount of drill, do it quite as well. They, therefore, are entitled to as much pay, for precisely the same reason that, at the North, they would get equal pay for work they could do equally well—they . earn ...the money: They would get the same price for a rod of ditching, for an acre of plough ing, for a job of carpenter's or blacksmith's work, as a white man, simply as a matter of common justice. Is justice forbidden in the army ? Whatever work a negro can do lie has a right to be paid for at the full market value. Any legislative distinction against him is obviously unjust, for it offers an obstacle jto his deVelopment in his new condition, and the obstacles which the poor unfortunate will have to : meet, and-which lie entirely outside the power of the legis lature either to create or remove, are sutll ciently• appalling to daunt the stoutest heart. And yet the morning has come, and• the sky , brightens momentarily. The State of Frankland. A movement for the purpose of creating a new State out of East Tennessee, with the name of Frankland, has been for some time active in that neighborhood, a propo sition to this effect haying reached, we I hear, the Convention at Knoxville: The people of Middle Tennessee, with Gov. Jourts.ow and one or two other prominent East Tennesseans, are opposed -to the measure, but the citizens of the latter sec tion are said to be generally in its faVor. We hardly think it wise or right to divide so important a State as Tennessee, so wholly necessary to itself, in the new mis sion which it has received from the war, whatever privilege their isolated sufferings and peculiar situation have conferred on the people of East Tennessee. Frankland, the name of the proposed new State, was, as our readers are aware, the name given in honor of BENJ..kMnsi FRANKLIN to the small and short-lived republic which JouN SENtEu, :the daring pioneer and first Go vernor of Tennessee, set up for himself and his friends when the western counties of North Carolina rebelled against the parent State. A brief history of the old State of Frankland was given in the editorial of THE Puss five months ago, and there the name of Frankland was first recalled in connection with the proposition to. form a new State out of East Tennessee. LETTER FROM **OCCASIONAL." WASHINGTON; May 3, 1804 I need not direct your attention to the proceedings of the meeting of American women—wives and daughters of soldiers in the field, of officers of the navy, of mem bers of the Cabinet, and of members of Congress, of authoresses of distinction, and of widows who have lost their hus bands, and mothers who have lost their sons, in battle—which took place yesterday afternoon, at Dr. Sunderland's Church, on Four-and-a-half street, in this city. You will find them in this morning's Chroni cle, and I hope you will transfer them to the pages of Tins. PRESS. The -s• i., 4 - +llll women of the country in the earnest resolution to purchase no imported articles of apparel where American articles can be substituted, during the continuance of the war. The association . organized by the meeting is to tie called "The Ladies' Na tional Covenant," and the pledge the members of the main society and auxili ary societies must take, is as follows : "For three years., or for the tear, lee pledge our selves to each other and to the country to purchase no imported article of apparel." What golden words ! What a clear and powerful invocation to the fulfilment of a holy duty ! -The number of the ladies, and the spirit they exhibited, though I have heard of both from those who were pre sent, are best proved by the proceedings themselves. The example they offer, not alone to the women but to the men of America, should and must extend beyond the mere exigencies of !the war, if it is generally accepted and . acted upon ; for it is not merely the Government that 'will be helped if the loyal American women re spond to the appeal of their sisters here at the National Capital, nor even the soldiers 'who are fighting for all of us ; but the hun dreds and thousands of females who have always been miserably paid for their honest toil will be incalculably assisted. This class of our countrymen suffer now more than ever, and the extraordinary ano maly is presented that, while . many are prosperous who have heretofore only known what it was to labor and to want, the workingwomen are paid the most limited wages. Even in the -Govern ment shops their compensation is a re proach and a shame, and more than one fortunate contractor increases his profits by his cruel exactions upon and insufficient pay to those who do his work, es pecially the - women. The servant girl is often better rewarded for her ser vices, and too often safer from the dan gers to unprotected women, than the seam stress or the teacher. These are harsh truths, but they must be told ; and I have reflected upon them a thousand times with unutterable anguish. No more import ant subject could be considered by states men and philanthropists. Why, then, should not this " Covenant," so auspicious ly startedby the American women, be the instrument of solving the great question of protection to the females who are forced to depend upon their own industry for sap port ? The more immediate province of that association is, however, to be now considered. The address of the ladies who met here last evening, understood to be the production of Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, states the case so fully and eloquently that I need only ask attention to it. There is not a word in it that does not de serve to be carefully studied. What loyal heart will not respond to it ? What American woman will not feel that it ap peals to her own best impulses ? The sa crifice asked is not considerable. It is not to destrOy the valuables on hand, whether of dresses or of jewelry, but to cease pur- • chasing any more until the war has closed, and, if possible, to cease wearing those mockeries of fashion and of luxury so illy suited to this period of blood, of death, and of devastation. A thousand other conside rations enter into this question, not enu merated in the address to which I refer. When plain attire becomes the fashion, hu man vanity will not be tempted to exceed its means, and the poorest woman will no longer feel that her poverty is proved by the absence of gaudy robes and glittering jewelry. When Napoleon invaded Prussia, the German women threw their diamonds into the public treasury, and substituted iron filagree work, much of which is preserved to this day as the relics of their patriotism ; and, as I said before, if the women of our country adopt this policy, the men will surely imitate them. Heretofore, it has been a costly thing to follow the fashion. Now, let it be the fashion to be economical, and while it will cost nothing to follow it, so far as we are individually concerned, we will be saving millions upon millions to our suffer ing country. Oce.a.suniAL. The British Ministry. The resignation of Mr. ROBERT LOWE, one of the editors of The Times, has been accepted by Lord PALmEnsworr, and his office of Vice President of the Board of Education has been offered to and accepted by Mr. HENRY AUSTIN BRUCE, M. P. for Marthyr Tydell, and nephew to Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE, a bar rister who withdrew from practice in 1843, and has since been police magistrate in the country, which office he resigned on entering Parliament in 1852. He has latterly been. one of the five under-Secretaries of State, and is a decided liberal in politics. As Mr. LowE is thus given up, it may be expected that, ere long, the " thunders" of The Times will be directed against the Pal merston Administration. The surrender, thus readily, of Mr. LOWE, may be con sidered as the result of the Cobden-Bright quarrel with The nines, last November. No one will regret Mr. LowE's retire ment. He was an overbearing, ill-tem pered man. GEORGE. TIEOMPSON. — This gentleman is to speak to-night at West Chester, and tia, morrow night in the Covenanters' Church, Cherry street, below Eleventh, in this city. He could not have a better subject than English and American Copperheads. Mr. THoMrsOtt is said to be in improved health and good spirits. He is much pleased with the cordial reception he everywhere meets with. The church in which he is to speak on Friday night is not large, and a limited nuniber of tickets are to be sold. This - will afford every one a sure seat, with a fair Chance of seeing and hearing the speaker. Tile Fort Pillow Demonism. Fifty-seven deposition.: before the Congressional committees, have more than eonfirmed the newspa-' per accounts of the terrible butchery at Fort Pillow. This massacre oven the romance of cruelty will not equal. There was wanting nothing to prove' that crucifixion, burying alive, and burning to death, were among the varieties of torture which Forrest andfbis mon indicted upon their victims with the in genious savagery of Bends. To show, by antece dents, the character of the scoundrel under whom these crying murders wore committed, Major Gene ral David S. Stanley, commander of cavalry in the Army of the Cumberland, gives a well-authenti cated insfaetee of deliberate murder perpetrated by General Forrest in person. Further light is thrown upon the subject by the knowledge that before the war Forrest was a notorious slave-trader, and one of the most malignant and heartless of the kind. It is a question 'whether a slave-trader could be less than a murderer. Knowing this fact, the massacre, ter rible as it was, would not have been a great sur prise. TREASON IN PENNSYLVANIA.—The Selinsgrove Times of Friday publishes Long's infamous specek with the following editorial recommendation : "Nothing can better repay the reader than an attentive perusal of Mr. Long's speech. We endorse every word of it, and more too. Mr. Long is a true patriot and statesman." The same paper contains the following remarks, which entitle the editor to arrest : -- " The Yankees at Memphis are very severe on the rebel ladies, and won't allow them to wear their rebel badges. But they finally managed to outwit the Puritan nigger-worshippers by quitting to wear hoops. By this sign they all know each other. Good for them." ' A Pennsylvania newspaper has no right to pub -1151 treason. , Public Entertainments. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—In One respect, at least, and it hi to be hoped in many, our Great Central Fair in aid of the United States Sanitary Commission will surpass all others, yet or to be held. This evening, a Musical Festival, to be con tinued through a fortnight, will properly commence this Samaritan celebration. Nothing like it has yet been given in this country. It will consist of operas, (in the English language,) oratorios, and vocal and instrumental concerts. With scarcely one excep tion, all the leading artists assisting are either American by birth or by adoption, and the opening performance, at the Academy of Music, this' eve ning, will be a new opera in four acts, by a Phila delphia composer, who Is himself undeniably the belt musical critic in the American press. We al lude to the opera entitled "Notre Dame of Paris," the music composed by William Henry Fry, and the libretto by his brother, Joseph R. Fry. It has never before been performed, though it had a nar row escape, on one occasion, at New York, When it was proposed to translate it and produce it there in Italian. This, and the other operas, (Balfe's "Bo hemian Girl," and. Vincent Wallace's " Maritana," with .the Oratorios,) will all be represented in English, the language of those wile may be expect ed to form the audience at each representation. "Notre Dame of Paris " is founded on that grand and thrilling romance of the same name, with which, oref thirty years ago, Victor Hugo, taking the old Cathedral itself for a hero, so to say, eleetrl hed the world of readers. Mr. W. H. Fry has very _ grell.l, I , .trovart.... m question. He shows the character and the fortunes of Eorneralda, of the hunchback • Quasimodo, of the debased Dam Franck, of the loving and light hearted Captain De Chaleaupers, of Lieutenant Florian, and of the desolated and child-robbed mo ther, Gudule. He distributes the parts thus : Esme ralda, the heroine, to Dire. Borchert; - soprano; De Chateaupers, to Mr. Castle, tenor; Cudule, Mrs. Kempton, contralto ; Quasinsodo, to Mr. Se guin,- basso ; and Dorn Frollo and Florian to Messrs. Campbell and Skaats. These will be supported by a chorus of one hundred, an orchestra and mill , tary band of ninety-five, a ballet, &e., of one hun dred and fifty performers, while the Oratorio Chorus includes members of the Handel and Haydn So ciety, of the Harmonic, Society, of eleven Ger man ehoral societies of thiVeity, and of the Mozart Musical Union, of Reading, forming an aggregate of many hundreds of voices. New scenery, repre senting Faris in the time of Louis XL, nearly four centuries ago, has been painted by Russell Smith, Hawthorne, and other eminent artists, and every accessory, however gorgeous or eccentric, that the spectacle part of, the opera may require, will be found correctly and liberally supplied. The exi gencies of the piece demand an organ and a peal of full-sized bells. These have been supplied, Mr. Buffington, the organ builder, having erected a church-organ on the stage, and Messrs. Naylor Sc Co. having lent the bells. Nothing has been left undone or unsupplied to give a verisimilitude to the piece. We are happy to add that the plot of the opera is more simple than that of the prose romance, which is a decided advantage. In our advertising columns more particular details tlntn, those which we here condense will be found. The list of performers will show how largely and liberally, with a view to the thorough completeness which insures it, success has been studied by the committee in charge of the musical entertainments. The prices have purposely been put low, so as to allow the greatest number to "assist" (as audi tors and spectators) at the performances— namely, $8 for the series of six operas, which will secure a reserved seat in the parquet, parquet circle, or balcony, and $4 for a reserved seat in the family circle. The first oratorio (Haydn's "Creation") will be given to-morrow evening, ad mission Ai, with 25 cents for reserved seats. Single tickets for this evening's opera are on sale at the Academy of Music, and Gould's music Store, corner of Chestnut and Seventh streets. Of course, there will be a crowded house to-night, to witness the first representation of anew opera by an American compoger, who is alsoa Philadelphian, "to the manor born." WALNUT-STREET THEATRE.—Mr. and Mrs. Flo renee>s engagement at this establishment has been very successful. Yesterday evening the house was filled to witness the performance of the new Irish drama, "Kathleen Mavourneen," which was pre ceded by the comedietta of "Thrice Married." The last named piece, in which Mrs. Florence sustains several characters, is very absurd, but extremely amusing, and produced shouts of laughter. "Kath leen Mavourneen" is a thrilling drama, and the character of the hero is well suited to Mr. Florence's powers. The saute gill will be repeated this eve ning. CHESTSM-STREET THEATIZE.—At this popular place of amusement the new burlesque, " Eily O'Connor," and the comedy of " The Bull in the China Shop," are being played to large audiences. Mr. Mortiroor peifortns well the character of Bag shot in the comedy, which has had great success in New York previous to its production here. THEATRICAL ARRIVALS.—WE notice . that Mr. and Mrs. .Toseph L. Barrett are now in this city, having returned after fulfilling a very pleasant and profitable engagement at New Orleans. The lady, who is niece to Mrs. Bowers and Km F. W. Conway, and has not very long been out of her teens, has so successfully studied her profession that she is now a most promising comedienne. Her best performance, in New Orleans, was Rosa Leigh, in Lester Wallaca's play of "Rosedale," in which her husband played the character of the Doctor so as to raise it from its usual subordinate position. Mr. Barrett, whom we remember as a- very clever young actor at the Wal• nut-street Theatre, also, is very successful. At present, these young performers are " unattached" to any theatre, but, no doubt, will soon have their full choice of eligible engagements. THEATRICAL ClTArioN.—On. slit, that Mrs. Thayer, Miss Graham, and little Miss Cornelia Jefferson are engaged by Mrs. Drew, for the next season at the Arch-street Theatre. Of course, Mrs. GareetSon will have to reinforce her company to compete with such formidable rivals as Mrs. Drew and Mr. Grover. We believe that Mr. S. Hemple will_continue at the Walnut-street Theatre, and also Mr. Bascombe, who is not only one of the best cos tumed of our amrs, but has worked himself up into a very respectable position in the " walking-gentle man" characters.

Wit lIVVITIC ATTENTION to advertisement of demi reble residence for rent at Norristown, TII PRESS.-PITILADELPITIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1864: On Saturday evening, by direction of the War Department, Brig. Oen. S. H. MARTINDALE: Was relieved from duty as Military Governor of this Dis trict, and ordered to report to GFen.BUTLEEZ, at For tress Monroe. This order relieving Gen. MARTINDALE was not unexpected, as it is well known that several months ago Gen. M. made application to the War Depart ment to be assigned to a more active field of duty. Colonel M. N. Wm.-roma., of the Veteran Reserve Corps, has, by direction of the War Department, been assigned to duty in his stead. Col. W. entered upon the duties of his office Monday afternoon. Lieut. A. S.B.Axun, of the Seth New Yorlr. Volun teers, who has, for the past twenty-six months acted as an assistant to the provost marshal, at the head (martin of the Military District of Washington, has been assigned to Gen. MARTINDALE'S staff as an aid-de-camp. New Laws in Operation. The bill which has just become a law, fixing rules and regulations for preienting collisions on the wa ter, will go into effect on the Ist of September. It is applicable both to the navy and mercantile ma rine. The same features have been adopted by England and France, and perhaps by other nations, and have thus become international. A new principle has been adopted by a reeent law, namely, authorizing the Postmaster General to refund to postmasters the sums of which they have been robbed by the Confederate forcesor rebel guerillas. The United States Court of Claims has ad journed. His Excellency, M. M. LISBOA, the Brazilian mi nister, has left for New York, preparatory to his re turn to Brazil, with a leave of absence for one year.

The District of Columbia requires only twenty two more men to complete all calls for men hereto fore made by the President. Commodore Wilkes Reprimanded. NAVY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, May 3, 1864 At a naval general court martial recently con in the city of Washington, Cominodere Charles Wilkes, of the navy, was tried -upon the following charges preferred against him by the De• partment: Charge 1. Disobedience of lawful orders of Ids• su. perior officers while in the execution of his office. Charge 2. Insubordinate conduct and negligence or carelessness in obeying orders. Charge 3. Disrespect\ and disrespectful language to his superior officer, whilst in the execution of his office. ' Charge 4. Refusal of obedience to lawful gene ral orders or regulations issued by the Secretary of the Navy. Charge S. Conduct unbecoming an officer, and constituting an offence made reprehensible by Arti cle 8 of the articles adopted and put in force for the goVernment of the navy of the United States. Of each of these charges the accused was found by the court "guilty," and was Sentenced in the fol lowing terms : "And the court does hereby sentence_the accused, Commodore Charles Wilkes, to be publicly repri manded by the Secretary of the Navy, and to be suspended from duty for the term of three years." The finding of the court in this case is approved and the sentence is confirmed. In carrying into execution that part of the sen tence whieh requires that Commodore Wilkes shall be publicly reprimanded, I hardly need say more to an officer of his age and experience in the service than that the promulgation of such charges, and of the decision upon them by a conrt composed of offb , cers of the highest rank in the navy t constitutes in itself a reprimand sufficiently poignant and severe to any one who may have the desire to preserve un tarnished his record in the service. The Department would gladly have been spared the unpleasant duty which has devolved upon it in this case ; but the appeal made to the public by the accused in the papers, which the court has pro nounced to be "of an insubordinate and disrespect ful character, containing remarks and statements not warranted by the facts," rendered it necessary for the Department either to tolerate the disrespect and submit to the unfounded aspersion; or refer the case to the investigation and decision of a court martial. GIDEON IVELDES, DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH.

" Out of regard for the interests of the service, we defer further particulars. REBEL REPORTS, The Richmond Enquirer haw the following de spatch : DALTON, April 2T.—Brownlow , s Yankee cavalry, eOO strong, dashed into Spring Place, this morning, but, 'beyond the capture of one Citizen, effected no thing. This was nothing more than a reconnois sance of a route by which the enemy will advance. A despatch to the Enquirer, from Mobile, says that Banks has fallen back and was entrenching himself. .THE LAST YEAR OF THE WAR. Mr. Long's Speech in Congress. WAsnirromox, May S.—The Richmond Examiner, of the 29th ult., says : ' , lf we hold our own in Vir ginia till this summer is ended the North's power of mischief everywhere will be gone. If we lose, the South's capacity for resistance will be broken. The Confederacy has ample power to keep its place in Virginia if employed with energy and consistency, and 'hie is the last year of the war, whichever wins." The Richmond Enquirer of the 30th says : ." A company has been organized with a capital of *lO,- 000,000, of which *1,500,000 is paid in. It declines disclosing the condition of the enterprise, but says the company aspires to grand results—a fleet at least, and it has now every prospect of realizing all its purposes." Mr. Long's speech In Congress is published in the Raleigh Conservative, and spoken of as a bold and manly speech, and in several respects the most re. markable speech that has been delivered in Yan keedom. BALTI3IOII3I, May 3.—The American's Special An napolis letter says : The liag-of-truce boat New York arrived at the Naval Academy wharf yesterday morning from City Point with 34 paroled officers and 354 men. Such was the condition of the latter that every man of them was admitted to the hospital. One hundred and fifty had to be carried from the water on stretchers and cars. Their looks and Words abundantly testify that their miserable con dition has been produced by starvation, and many are undoubtedly past the reach of medicine or nourishment. Among the officers Is Colonel Rose, of the 77th Pennsylvania Regiment, who was the chief engineer of the tunnel by which so many of our officers escaped in February last, he having _been re captured.

WAsnrwopo.r.-, May S.—The counsels of the mili tary authorities are kept remarkably secret. Here tofore, on the eve of a battle, some idea could be formed of the contemplated movements, but now they are matters of mere speculation, both among prominent civilians and even army officers. The utmost confidence, however, is reposed in those having the direct conduct of affairs, and due credit is given for their wisdom in preventing premature disclosures. The Navy Department has received copies of tho Richmond Examine?• of the 28th ult. A Fredericksburg correspondent of the Examiner, writing tinder date of April 27, says : The opinionlprovails in Washington that Lee's army, in numerical strength, does not exceed fifty thousand men. To oppose this force, or rather for the purpose of attack, (}rant has required that the Army of the Potomac shall be rendered one hundred thousand strong. To this end reinforcements to that army have been continually passing up the Orange and Alexandria railway for the past ten days. Ten days hence it will be ready for the advance, which is universglly desired in the United States, from Lincoln down, or up,.whichever phrase you prefer. The commonly received opinion that Grant will attack Lee in front and in his fortifications is erro neous. He will seek to turn the flank of our army and his policy is, evidently, to maintain his present position until his organization and equipment arc thoroughly accomplished, and then, by suddenly unfolding his strategy, to surprise Gen. Lee. He may march rapidly and without announcement either to some point of crossing on the Rapidan or Rappahannock, or to Port 'Republic, thence to Staunton, thence to Lynchburg. I think an at tempt to flank on the east the 'more probable, his army crossing at some of the lower fords of the Rappahannock. This, however, is all conjecture, and but the echo of Washington - gossip. A despatch to the Enquirer from Orange Court House, under dale of April 27, says " that Averill has gone to Southwest Virginia on a raid, and that Meade is receiving reinforcements over the Alex andria Railroad." Capture of Blockode.Runners. FORT Mormon, May s.-The steamer 0. L. Clarke, from Port Royal, reports that on the Oth inst. spoke, off Fryingpan Shoals, the gunboat Vicksburg, cruising for blockade-runners. She re ported having captured, on the SOth ult., the schoon er India, loaded with palm oil and cigars, evidently bound for Wilmington. She also chased a side wheel steamer, but lost sight of her at night. The propeller Armitage ran on the wreck of the gunboat White Hall last night, in Hampton Roads, and soon, after sunk.. RETIIIM OF Ray. Du. MCCLIWTOOK.—The New York Commercial Advertizer of last evening says ;- Among-, the passengers in the Scotia, from Liver pool, is the Rev. Dr. McClintock, corresponding editor of the New York Methodist, who, for the last four years, has been pastor of the American Chapel in Faris, and nobly has he performed the duties of pastor and citizen of the United States: Pew men who have been in Europe, in any capacity, during the terrible civil war that has prevailed, have done more to sustain the honor of his country than Dr. McClintock. He has left behind him many endear ed friends in the Old World, and comes home to re ceive the congratulations of hundreds' In this nun• try, double endeared to them by the public services rendered by him to his country. It is known to most that while at Paris, Dr.. McClintock was in the service of the Christian Union. The Christian World notices the return of the reverend gentleman thus : " Dr. McClintock has done a most glorious work for the cause of Christ during his residence In Paris. Through his able and efficient labors, the Chapel has been en tirely self-sustaining; nor have his labors been con fined to the duties which devolved upon him In eon. nection with the Chapel. The doctor is a noble hearted Christian patriot, and his labors have been untiring for the welfare of his country. Two years since he went to London to attend the anniversaries, and there, like our friend, Mr. Beecher, nobly bat tled for the right. Through his influence and speeches, the great body of the Wesleyans.in Eng land have been our firm and steadfast friends." XXXVIIIth 'CONGRESS SESSION' WASHINGTON, May 3, 1864. SENATE. Bills IntrodneOd'and in Progress. Mr. FESSENDEN reported, from the Finance Commit tee, the army appropriation bill as amended by. the House; and asked that the Senate non-concur and re quest a committee of conference, which was adopted. Mr. HARLAN reported, from the Committee on Pub lie Lands, a bill for the disposal of coal lands, and of town property, in the public domain, which provides for the survey and sale of coal lands at auction, at a minimum price of twenty dollars per acre, and the sur vey of sites for towns in lots of not more than four thou sand two hundred feet, at a minimum price of ten dol lars per lot. Mr. SHERMAN called up the following .resolution: That a quorum of the Senate hereafter consist of a ma jority of the Senators present duly qualified. Mr. SHERMAN said the House had decided that a ma jority of those chosen constituted a quorum, and we should pasea similar rule. It was never intended that this Government should be broken up, either by open secession or for want of a quorum. We had yesterday all example of the evil effect of the present rule, when. at five o'clock, just as an important bill was about to pass, the Senate found itself without a quorum. Mr. FOSTER opposed the resolution, as there would be more difficulty in finding a quorum then than now. f g e 'l l i t e . more the responsibility was divided the less it was Mr. DAVIS considered this the most important sub. , jeet ever presented to the Senate, and he hoped, in order to allow it to be fully discussed, that it would be made the special order for to-morrow at 12.11 Mr. ANTHONY introduced a Lill to expedite and regu late the printing of .public documents, which was re ferred to the Committee on Printing. It requires the accompanying documents of Department reports to go to the Joint Committee on Printing to be edited, and por tions selected desirable for popular distribution to be is sued with reports and the President's Message in one volume. It also provides for the sale of extra documents' at cost F ri ce. Thejollit resolution to pay the State of Wisconsin five tper cent. of the land sales within her borders came up. Mr. FESSE N DEN addressed , the Senate in, opposition 'ay-mew ...azer - Appropriation for the One Hundred Days' Volunteers. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill appropriating twenty-dye millions &allot-slim the pay of one hundred days' volunteers. Mr. HALE, in deference to the feelings of his friends, the chairmen of the Committee of Finance and of Mili tary Affairs, wile, with himself, seemed to consider the measure unwise, and yet necessary in the present emer waiveency, would waive his vbjectioud and perhaps vote for the bill. The bill was the: passed. YEAS. Anthony, Grimes, Clark, Hale, CoHamer, Harlan, Conness, Howard, Doolittle, Howe, Fessenden, Lane (Ind), Foot, Lane (Kansas), Foster, Morgan,NYS. Bnekalew, Henderson, Car Hie, Johnson, Chandler, Nesmith, Davis, Pomeroy, Harding, Powell, Bureau of Military Justiee. Mr. WILSON called up the report of the committee of conference on the bill to establish a bureau of military Justice,mati moved its adoption, proposing, as it does, that the Senate recede from its amendmentlimitlng the pay of -judge advocate general to $4,000. with rank of brigadier general, and the pay of two assistant Judge advocates to slf, ,0 0 0 per annum, with the rank of colonel. After some debate the question .was taken on the motion- to agree—yeas 18, nays 16—within two of a quorum. After some delay in fruitless efforts to get a quorum, Mr. GRIMES moved. to adjourn, which was rejected -ger. 16, 1111.1 K 26. Mr, DOOLITTLE moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms directed to request the attendance of Senators. Mr. COLLAMEII objected. It had never been the cus tom, and there was no use to send out and bring in ab sent Senators while those here were in the meantime leaving. Some Senator suggested that the doors be locked. Mr. SHERMAN, at quarter past two, moved toad-journ, which was carried--yeas 17, nays IA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: Increasing the Pay of ttleliers—Possage of the Dill. • Mr. SCHENCK, of Ohio, from the Committee on Mili tary Affairs reported a bill providing that, on and after the let of stay next, the pay of privates in the army shall be increased from $l3 to $l6 a month, and that of non-commissioned officers as follows: Corporals, $18; sergeants, $2O; orderly sergeants, $24; sergeant major, $26 per month, Clerks and paymasters to receive dila° per annum, etc. Mr. SCHENCK moved the previous question,and was about to explain the bill; when Mr. COX., of Ohio, asked his colleague to withdraw the demand so as to allow him to amend the bill by in creasing the day of private soldiers to $lB per month, and non-commissioned officers $2O. Even this sum would hardly be enough to keep pace with - the increase of the , price of necessaries of life for the families of the soldiers. His (Mr. Cox's) friends, on this side of the House, offered this in good faith. Mr. t4CHENCK delined to comply,_ having been in structed by his committee to urge the present bill. Mr. DAWSON, of Pennsylvania, appealed to Mr. Schenck. Ile was chairman of the Democratic caucus, and desired to offer what that caucus had agreed to offer for the soldiers. Mr. SCHENC . K replied that if the Democratic caucus were more numerous than the lUnion caucus they could vote down the motion for the previous question. . Mr. Schenck proceeded to explain the bill. Both the Senate and House have acted upon the proposition to eeLualize the pay of the white and colored soldiers. The Committee on Military Affairs had principally confined themselves to the increase of pay. In the course of his remarks he said it was proposed to amend a former law, so that officers may have leave of absence for causes other than sickness or wounds, with out deduction of pay and allowance, and that the ab sence shall not exceed thirty days in any one year. The ration of 1861 is reetoredonaking a reduction of $1.29 a month. This took away nothing essential to the soldier's comfort and subsistence, and gave him sup plies equal to those of any soldiers in the world, and twice as much as those of Jeff Davis. In the aggregate the Government will save considera ble, while the soldier is paid five or six times as much in cash as the deduction in the increase of his pay. The bill was passed unanimously—yeas 12.3. nays none. The Naval Appropriation. Mr. STP,VPSS of Pennsylvania, reported, from the Committee of Ways and Means, the Senate amend ments to the navy appropriation bill, and the House concurred in those appro.priating seven millions two hundred thousand dollars for the completion of screw steam sloune+, tour millions for the purchase and repair of vessels for the Western waters, and three millions for the purchase and charter of vessels fur blockading pitrposes, The Senate struck out the appropriation of a hundred and thirty-tlye thousand dollars for the purchase of the land adjoining the Charlestown navy pant, and on this amendment the Committee of Ways and Means recom mended a non-concurrence. . . . Mr. HOLMAN, of Indiana, moved the reduction of the appropriation to sixty thousand dollars, showing that thin was the value of the property last autumn. Mr. STEVENS explained the circumstances under which this subset came before the Committee of aye and Means. The appropriation was recommended by all the commandants who had been at the yard; by Ad miral Smith, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and by t3ocrotary Weller, who all consider the purchase of this property necessary for the Government uses. Mr. RICE, of Massachusetts, showed that the enlarge ment of the Charlestown navy yard had become none - sail' by the large increase of the navy. • The debate was continued, those wh6 opposed the an propriation regarding it as a speculation. The House concurred in the Senate amendment—yeas 56, nays .16; and also concurred in the Senate amend ment providing that no money appropriated for the Naval Academy shall be applied for the support of any midshipman who shall not hereafter be appointed in strict conformity with the law. The. Mouse considered Senate amendment providing that the Naval Academy shall be returned and re-esta blished at Annapolis before the commencement of the next academic year. Mr. DIXON. of Rhode Island, said that on the break ing out of the rebellion the Academy was removed to Newport by the Secretary of the Navy. The same au. Moray that removed it can restore tt. The academic year will commence September, 1563, and if occasion should occur for its removal before that time, it would doubtless be done. Rambles. the Naval Academy'pro perty at Annapolis was occupied by the War Depart ment, which had declined to surrender it. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, said that Newport is a large and fashionable place, anti, with all its vices, is no lit place for a young matt. It was always r better to .have seminaries of learning in small_ villages, where there are few temptations to vice. . Annapolis is a small village, and just about the right Sher. By returning to Annapolis, the Government will save seventy-live or n -hundred thousand dollars. The Senate amendment wan concurred in: . Guarantee or Republican Governments Mtf!ff!!ff=M:M:l!l The House 'extiaiteti the consideration of the 1,111 gun innteeing a republican government to Staters ruhverted or overthrown by the rebellion. • - I , ERILutI, hi' Maine, prefaced his remarks by ,aying tout all our efforts should be directed:to the sup pression of the rebellious Ho repelled the slander that tine is exelinnvely an Abolition war, and that tt wan a hellish crusade. Instead. of the party iu.pewer being esponsible for the war, it was that party Which had control of the Government. for sixty years. The Demo ei atie party!' lied clothed itself with everlasting ilia - grade eoncurring with President Buchanan s declaration mot acting upon it, that no power to coerce State, had Urea *M(011111 to limigrvss, or to any department of the nem mil tioverutneut. , . • 'I ;tore lII'VET Nva. a . wore dih•gracertil record thanthat nu• de by the leaders of the Democratic.' tarty during the taAt fuur years. The rebellicktt wa4 hyausttrat.4limiter a Democratic Administration, with its patronage and consent; stimulated and encouraged by tine promi.se of the aid of Northern Democrats, and now kept alive in the hope that the same party will come to lb. assist- • ance. The course of Democrats here was doing more fox the rebellion than our defeats on the battle-field. While they held 'President Lincoln to a strict account, and charged him with violations of the Constitution, they have no complaints to utter against the rebels, who set the Constitution at defiance. They want to render him powerless to punish traitors. In conclusion, Mr. Per haln Said slavery must cease with the last struggle of the rebellion. • Mr. KERNAN, of New York, examined the provi stone of the bill under consideration, and opposed it be cause, according to his judgment, tt was in violation and subversive of the great fundamental principle, on which the General and State Governments stand. The people could, according to the bill, enioi CIVIL and do mestic institutions only on the three conditions named, thus trampling under foot all the power of the States. The Federal Government has no right to interfere with the people in. changing tlieir Conatittition and making their laws. We can do nothing morn than to guarantee a repub lican government in accordance with the Coniditution. He believed the effect of the bill would be to crush out the loyal men in those States, and stimulate them to re sistance. It was a subversion of the powers of the peo ple of a State, which are inherent, and of which they cannot lawfully be deprived. Gentlemen should not, while seeking topreserve the Government. be influenced by feeling and prejudice. The question is not how much the South have sinned, lint what is wise and best for a happy and peaceful Union for both North. and South ; for history tolls us if we disregard the Constitution, which is the great bond which holds the Union together, we will not only tram plc upon the rights of States, but destroy our own ties. We will not save and restore the people of the land under tine Government by trampling on the gua rantees of the Constitution. Drive out the usurpers, and the people will take care of their own States. 771 e mime of Samuel .T. Itandall, of Pennsylvania, was erroneously printed in favor of, instead or against, the bill equalizing the pay of colored troop., iindlilaeing them on the wane footing with white soldiers. LEONARD MYERS, of Pennsylvania, asked and ob tained leave to record his vote in favor of the same mea sure. The Rouse then took a recess till 7 P. M. EVENING SESSION. Republican State Governmenni The bill guaranteeing republican governments to States subverted by the rebellion being Ruder conside ration, - Mr. GOOCH, of Massuchusetts,said for years the ar gument was between freedom and slavery. The latter being defes ted. appealed to arms, and hence this bloody conflict. He believed that there was sufficient power to have crushed the rebellion in-the very bud. Had James Buchanan been in the Presidential chair in the place of Jackson. John . C. Calhoun, instead of being an extinguished nullifier, would have been President of the so-called Confederacy and. if Jackson had been in the place of Buchanan, Jefferson Davis would have been an extinguished Secessionist, instead of President of the Southern Confederacy. To save the Government it was necessary -to destroy slavery, and we must provide in the funda mental. law, as proposed by the bill under con sideration' that involuntary servitude shall be forever prohibited and the freedom of all persons guaranteed. He did not believe the rebels have ceased to be subject to. tho. Government, or that they are out of the Union. But- no matter what laws may be passed by Congress and acts done by the Executive respecting the States revolted or subverted by treason the recognition of a reorganized Government by both the Senate and House of Representatives and the other departments becomes necessary before they can be restored to their rights fn the Union. - • . - Mr. PERRY, of New jersey, said not one . less - victory would have been won by our army if the President had not issued his proclamation, and if Congress had been dumb. Presidential proclamations and Congressional action bad only been clogs to victory, and our army has achieved successes in spite of them. As the Adminis tration spurned the advice of General McClellan, he had no hope' that his own counsels could arrest the acts of those in power. Having rejected. that general's mili tary plans, so of his civil policy, which went hand-in band. But there was a - higher authority to which he would appeal. The, people, who are quick to detect imbecility Nand corruption, will - listen to counsels. Though they may be misled for a time, it cannot long continue. They will render justice to all. He spoke in condemnation of the President and the Administration generally_ . FERNANDGWOOD, of New York, geld he had carefully examined this bill and the speech of the chairman of the select committee, Mr. Davis, of Maryland, to ascertain on what fact he predicated the assertion that State Go vernments have been overthrown. The gentleman de clared that there can be no republican State Govern ment which does not recognize Congress and the Pre sident, and that the Governments here repre sented are the only governments existing. This was a vast assumption,and the extreme of folly. The Confederate Constitution, with all its elements of republicanism, is an improvement on our own,becanse it more clearly defines the powers- of the States. The people of the Southern States to-day enjoy a higher de gree of liberty , than we have had for the last three years. North Carolina openly opposes the Confederate Executive, What Northern State would dare to follow the example in respect to our own? Doubtless, despo tism exists at the South, as military authority is always repugnant to liberty. To impose on any people a govern ment against their will would be the worst form of go vernment. lie controverted the doctrine enunciated by the gentleman from Maryland, contending whatever may be the condition of the ccuntry, the States !remain. He proceeded to notice Mr. Schenck's former remarks, who had charged that he had recomtneaded the SeCOS mon of Now York. To this ho replied that he did, on the first of January, 1861, in advance of any secession by any State, in a special message to the Common Coun cil, recommend that, if the repeated wrongs and out rages of the State Legislature should bo repeated. on the city, that it should become a free city; apt, however, independent of the Federal Government. Another charge was, that he bad - made a speech at the great Union meeting, in April, 1861, and there declared him self to be a War Democrat, and the gentleman added he spoke by his side an the platform, and said, you may call it an honor, or a. dishonor, if you will. His parti cipation, however, was confined to an advocacy 01' mo ney and troops to defend the capital. He went no far ther than this. Of course, he was for maintaining the Union intact. • He was so now, whilst the member from Ohio and his colaborers in the cause of forcible negro emancipation were avowed disunionists. If, said Mr. Wood, that gentleman spoke by my side, he spoke at the side of one who never fled ingloriously from the field of battle, or ignominiously from the enemy. He stood by a man who never villifled and traduced the sainted .Jackson and eulogized the Jeffreys who tined Jackson for interposing between patriots and traitors. He stood by a man who never, clothed with a little brief military authority, performed the acts of a despot and interfered with the rights of two sovereign States. As to General Schenck's resignation of his commission he (Mr. Wood) pledged himself that if he could not prove, were an opportunity afforded, that there was ,a .verbal understanding with the. Secretary of War that he (Schenck) could resume his.commission at pleasure, he (Mr. Wood) would resign his seat. Mr. WOOD, then replied to the other charges of Mr. Schenck, and espiciallj - to that implicating him with the New York riots. The party in power, he said, had raised armies under false pretences, and had committed the greatest outrages against the Caton and constitu tianal liberty ever -perpetrated by despotism. Tar, KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, after making an al lusion to Mr. Wood, said that Robert Toombs, in tele graphing to the .then Mayor of New York, spoke of arms, and not merchandise. This is a record which stands against the gentleman's assertion. The gentle man left New York with riot and sedition boiling, that the Rends might do their work.- He then advocated the bill, although It was not ex actly-what he desired. The people of the South have not only abolished State Governments, but have esta blished others, and we know the seat of their Confede racy is at Richmond. As to the territory,it belongs to the Union for all time, and if he could he would drive the traitors to the Gulf beyond. He would do this with soy. The Supreme Court of the United States has de clared that -these revolted States had the same rights only as alien enemies—enemies invading the land—and that they. are not only- traitors -but • public enemies. These States are overthrown, and it is the duty of Con gress to provide governments for them when conquest is made, and: it is our duty to make compost by all mental known to modern warfare, and within the limits of the nation.

Garibaldi finally quitted London on the 22d, pro ceeding to the residence of the Dowager Duchess of Sunderland, near Maidenhead, where he would re main in retiromen for a few days, embarking for CaPrera on the 25th. The Prince of Wales went to London, and - paid en hour's visit to Garibaldi. The General breakfasted with a party of Ameri cans at the United States Consul's on the 22d. lie expressed himself warmly in favor of the United States in the struggle with the slave power, and would go there at once and tender his services, if they wore needed ; but he was glad to learn that they were not. He remarked that England and America, united in sentiment, could keep the peace of the world. Mr. Gladstone, in Parliament and Lord Shaftes bury, in a letter to the Times, aMrm that the advice td Garibaldi to leave England was simply on he count of his health, and not on any political ground. The Daily News asserts that the visit had political Motives, France proving a faithless friend to Italy. Garibaldi Issued a farewell address to the people of England, and offers his heartfelt gratitude. lie says his principal object was to thank England for her sympathy, and this is accomplished. He regrets the necessity for his departure, and hopes to return again at no distant time. The Chamber of Representatives at Washington is not the'Annerlean Government. The Preeident is much more independent of Parliament than the Queen of England. The resolution we are an nouncing is not so much an act as an indication. We may, besides, be certain that the United States will leave Mexico tranquil while the civil war is un finished. As to the eventualities which may arise after the re-establishment of the Union, the Empe ror Maximilian would have been very imprudent bad he not already thought of them ; and, as he has accepted the crown, we must conclude that he con siders himself prepared to bravo the hostility of the United States. The Paris Temps thinks little Of the resolinitin Of the Washington House of Representatives, relative to Mexico, at least during the continuance of the civil war. The Danish ntiws is confined to additional details of the fall of Duppel. Nothing new has transpired, and no movement of importance since the King of Prussia visited the troops engaged at Duppel. Lownolf, April 24.—A telegram from Gibraltar on the 231 says an Austrian squadron of five ships had fust sailed for the German ocean. FAREWELL ADDRESS OF GARIBALDI. "I offer my heartfelt gratitude and thanks to the English nation and their Government, for the re ception I have met with in this free land. I came here with the primitive object of - thinking them for their sympathy for me and for mycountry, and this, my first object, is accomplished. I have desired to be altogether at the disposition of my English friends, and I go to every place where I might be wished to go, but I find that, I cannot now fulfil all these engagements of my heart. " If I have caused some trouble and disappoint ment to many friends I ask their pardon, but I can net draw the line between where I could and where I could not go, and, therefore, for the present, these are my thanks and my farewell. Still I hope, per haps at no distant time, to return to see my friends in the domestic. life of England and to redeem some of the engagements with the generous people of this country, which with deep regret I feel that I cannot now fulfil. G. gARIBA.I.DI." AMERICA AND 711 - IE NEW EMPIRE OF - mxxICO. The Paris Temps of the 21st says ! A singular error committed by the Moniteur this morning shows that the official journal can lay no more claims to infallibility than the common run of newspapers. The Moniteur declares that the mails from New York bring no news which merits attention. But we road in the American despatches of the Times. that the Chamber of Representatives at Washington unanimously voted on the 4th of April, a resolution proposed by Mr. Winter Davis, to the ellect that the United States can nevor recognize or tolerate a monarchy in Mexico. The Independence Beige gives the same news, with a variation, according to which " the Congress has simply protested against a monarchy established with the assistance of an European Power." Which ever may be right, we can only believe In an hied. vertence of the Moniteur. It cannot wish to suP tpress news, which is by no means unexpected, and he importance of which must not moreover be ex aggerated. Commercial Intelligence. LIVERPOOL BREADSTUFFS MARKET.—Messrs.
