The celebrated American hisioiiau, Bancroft,

to quality tie Emperor Maximilian as an adven

test on the suoject to the Cabinet at Washington,
which, ho never, na9 declined toeutertaiu it, and
consequently tbe great American republic and
the illustrious house of Austri are at logger
htaas. We ere plad to see the Cabinet at Vienna
taking pint in the all airs of Mexico. This is an
excellent opportunity to allow Austria the ex
clusive care of defending the cause of Maxi
milian, who is much more closely connected
with that country than with France.
Moreover, the Emperor Maximilian might dis
pense whh all foreign assistance, since, accord

able to hold his own, if neoeesary, against the
Yankees.
We learn from late English despatches that
there whs great Biuisiactio-a at the capital of

FORMATION. OP A NEW COMPANY TO CARRY OUT TOE
SCHEME CAPITAL TUHUE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
City At tide London Daily A ewx, March 6.
The project of the Atluntic Telegraph Com
pany is once more brought lot ward, Out in a new
lcrm.
It will be remembered ihat tie original capital
of the old company coii'it ;l ot shares of xionu
each, which were mostly subscribed lor, in a
liberal spirit, by our merchant prince. After
the first lailures came an issue of eight per cent,
preference shares, and this, in Us turu, was fol
lowed, alter the i.iiluro of t tic expedition in July
last, by another utile ot twelve per cent, pre
lereuca capital. .
The directors were advised, however, that
their act gave them no power to make this latter
Issue, and it beeaue obvious tuat the best plan
would be to lorm a ue.v company. Accordingly
Messrs. J. S. Morgan i Co. ha,ye notiiied that
they are prepared to receive fcubscriptions lor
shares in tin '-Anglo-American Telegraph Com
pany (Limited)," whose capital is tixed at
j.(Ui,0li0, iu sixty thousand shares of 10 each.
The arrangements lor the prosecution of this
great international undertaking aro fully de
scribed in the prospectus.
The promoters express confidence that tho re
newed effort will be attended with success, more
especially as the whole lcni'tb, ot 1212 nautical
miles of cable laid troiu Hie Great Lhslern in
July last, and which it is proposed to raise ami
complete to Newfoundland continues perfect,
as is also tho 11)71) miles of cable remaining on
board the Great Lantern, TiiP new company is
to provide lGCO miles of new cable, and to work
the undertaking, during fie agreement, on
'behaU of the old company. The whole project
i, ot course, a speculation; should it succeed,
and the lino be laid .and work properly, the
agreement provides that t;e leceipls iu each
year are .to be applied as follows:
First In paving to this company one hundrod
and twenty-live thousand pounds per annum,
fcooond in paving seveiity-t wo thousand pounds per
annum 'representing eiyht pur cunt, on tho Atiautio
company's existing prelorenee stock, and four per
cent, ou their oidiuarv stockj to the Atlantic I'Cle
grueli Company, And tluitl Iho entire jalauce of
each year 'a receipts is to oe divided between ttiW
company and the Atlaulio To eitraph G'ompauy in
equal shares; bat no duliciui.cv iu rospeci to tho
store annual payments in any one year is to be car
ried forward to uuother cur.
Willi reference to tho arrangement with the
Telegraph Construction aud Maintenance Com
pany the prospectus states a under:
lbe Tolegrapb t ormtruction and Maintenance
Company will uianuluutuie the new ca-de, and un
dertake the actual execution ot the work contracted
for by tiiis Company, as abovo stated (up to the
opcniUKof tho Atlantic Teleeraph linos tor publio
business), for a total sum of -tiioi 000, wiib a bonus,
to be provided bv the Atlantic J olograph Company
under their agreement wi.h tbis Company, ot

graph Company, payable by in-ttnnonts, extending
over fourteen i onths, in oas tlm ctbie of last year
is succossiuhv completed, aiid continues in working
order during that period.
There is, in addition, a salvage clause, de
scribed as under, and the purport of which is
that, in case of failure, ono-third of tho capital is
to be saved to the shareholder-:
In the possible contingency of the new cable not
beinr successfully laid, X500,GOO only wi i be paid to
the 'lelegrapu Construction anil Maintenance Com

Charges thereon), and it la eitii;ia(cU that tin
rrangemeHt will provide, in ciuto of lallure, for a
return to the shareholder ot this cotupuny of at
least one-third of their puid-up capital.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that all tho

Mr. Seward's anxiously expected despatch in
answer to that of M. Drouyn do Lhuys has
arrived in Paris. I have reason to think
that the contents will be deemed satisfactory
by tbe French Government. Tho Ameri
can Minister of Forelen Alfairs, without in
any way retracting or uiodiiying any position ho
has heretofore taken on tho Mexican ques
tion, will, I believe, be found to have disclaimed
any intention on the part ot the United States to
interfere in Mexico alter the deparcure ot the
French army, in terms which we consider suffi
cient to warrant the Emperor in carrying out
his promise, of a speedy evacuation. Upon the
whole, therefore, ihe diplomatic aspect of the
Mexican diuVulty may be safely described as
promising., I should not, however, be at all
Kurpii'Cd t. find inter that the prolongation of
the French occupation, on one excuse or ano
ther, might lead to fresh complications.

' THE DEBATE IN TUB HOUSE OF COilUOSS.
From the London Times, March o.
If the -speech of the Attornev-General in the
debate of r'riduy last was not conclusive, it was
only because the argument admitted ot no abso
lute conclusion. W e are asked by Mr. Gregory
and his friends to surrender what has been
hitherto considered a most powerful instrument
of war in British hands. The ouly reason for
such a surrender is, that as things
now stand we should be gainers rather
than losers by the transaction. It is
somewhat obvious to remark that if such
were' really the case, . the losers that is
to say, other countries would not be eager to
assent to the proposal: but the fact is, that no
body can po.-sibly say what, under the - present
condition of navigation and commerce, would bo
the course or incidents of a great naval war. All
we can ao Is to examine the question as care
fully as possible, and weiuh without prejudice
the considerations which are presented to us in
lavor of tho proposed revolution. This the Attorney-General
did, and with a result which, tn
our opinion, established their lightness in the
balance.
The real question to be considered iu the inte
rests ol the Watc is the probable balance between
our loss and our nain in the event contemplated
by the advocates ot chausre. If we agree and
undertake in all future wars to abstain Irom in
terrupting or destroying the commerce of our
enemy, it must also be ivrreed and undertaken
on the part ot other powers to abstain from in
terrupting or (lesiro ins the commerce of this
country ; and the assumption is that as ours U the
greatest commerce iu the world, we must need 3
be gamers by such a bargain. That assump
tion it is impossible cither absolutely to sustain
or absolutely to refute, and Sir Roundel Palmer
said all that could be said when he distinguished
class interests from public interests in the ques
tion, and showed what a peculiar and incalcula
ble element of national strength we were re
queued to sui render. It is true that we have
thepreatest commerce in the world, but it is
nbo tiue that we have the most piwerl'ul
navy in the W'orld. We could unquestionably
sweep the merchantmen of any enemy
from the seas, li is not so sure, on the
oilier hand, that any enemy could do as inucb tor
us. Too much has bepn made out of tho onm
pie ol the Alabama and her consorts. Thoie
vessels could never have done what they d'd
but for the complete diversion tootuer purposes
of the cruisers which should have pursued them.
The naval streucth of the United States was
concentrated upon an enormous blockade,
which for some time absorbed, either directly or
indirectly, almost every vessel of their marine.
Besides this, the Federals commenced operations
with a very weak and inconsiderable Meet, a
position in which we are not likely to bo found,
we maintain in constant ellicicncy such a naval
lorco as would give us at any moment the advan
tage ot immediate superiorit y at sea.
That advantage, which is our chief and pecu
liar advantage, we should, to a great extent,
l'oergo by asveuting to the proposed surrender,
while we should obtain in return only a pro
tection from certain partial injuries which we
have known how to sustain before, and which,
in some degree at any rate, we could avert by
our own power without any bucIi sacrifice. Our
losses, in short, by tbe proposed transaction
would be both certain and serious, tor we
should go to war with one arm crippled. Our
gains would bo uncertain and partial, for we
should merely see particular interests exempted
from disturbances, and that at the cost of leav
ing particular classes without any motive tor
desiring peace or avoiding war.
The Attorney-Gpneral appealed to the t xamplo
of the late war in America, and it would indeed
be dillicult to find a lesson more abounding with
direct and pertinent instruction. H would be
no exaggeration to say that the United States
Government brought that war to a successful
conclusion by discarding all the considerations
which we are now picsed to observe, and strain,
ingto the very utmost all the rights which we
are now urged' to surrender. The very first ope
rations of the Federals were directed amiust
the private property and coiumerco of the
insurgent States. Before all things they in
terposed to prevent the cotton plunters of the
Month from selling their property to too manu
facturers of Lancashire. In doiinr bo tney did
exactly what we might do by maintaining the
present rights of war that is, they exposed their
own commerce to attacks. In point ot fact, it
was for tho moment absolutely destroyed, but to
this, in comparison with Ihe effectual prosecu
tion of the war, they paid no heed whatever,
Tbev deliberately let their commerce go, satisfied
il tbey could only ruin the trade ot their
enemy. And that this was thfl most important
point of the war both belligcienta well kne-.
The one idea which haunted the North was
the dread of "intervention" in other word
of such an interference as would release the
private property of tbe euemy, aud allow it to
ftch ifs price in the market. - The one hope
which buoyed up the South was that the Jin
credible i ripsaure exerted by tho blockade on
even neutral Powers would brlug about this in
tervention, and so enable them to buy and sell
as before. What the end was the world has
now Bern. The North had all its commerce tor
the time destroyed, but it accomplished its end,
and came victorious out of the war. No eooner
was it victorious than its commerce returned,
and the saciitice ceased while the truits of con
quest remained. We must be blind, indeed,
if w e cannot apply the moral of a story like that.

perpetuated as an instinct which is still deep-rooted

Montreal, March 17. As preannouueed in
my teleuram ol Wednesday, the St. Patrick and
its kindred societies have to-day walked in pro
cession to church where high mass was cele
brated. The participants numbered ubout 2U0U.
I have rarely see a more respectable body of
Irish in a procession ot this kind. Among tne
notabilities were the Mayor and lion. f. D.
McGee walking tonethcr. After the celebration
of the mass a sermon was preached by Father
O'Farrell. In eloquence It was worthy of a Mas
sillon or a Wiseman, aud its advocacy' ot loyalty
to the Government and reprobation of Foul an
te m were, I must confess, puneent and unsparing.
After leaving the church tho vast processioii
mulched to the St. Lawrence Hall, where the
Covcrnor-Geneial is at present lcsiding, and
where the ollice-bcarers ol the four societies of
which the procession was co nnoed paid their
respects to mm. Hi lirdsh.p than iddressed
the crowd in thP street irom a window oi the
hotel. This being the tirst Canulian official
utterance on the Fenian question, 1 have deemed
it worthy of a verbatim report. It is as fol

The auditors frequently applauded him with
apparent sincerity. At the conclusion of his re
marks tbey reformed and marched to tho Victo

Devlin, the rresidnt of St. Pa'ricif's Society,
and the Hon. T. D. McGer. The latter congratu
lated his countrymen on the orderly way they
had celebrated the day, aucl gave statistics to
show that tho Irish of this city owaed nearly

He asked if it were likely, laying nil other con
siderations aside, that they would take no steps
to protect their property against invaders, lie
also alluded to the friendly leeling that he said
had always existed in this city between the dif
ferent nationalities, noticing the tact that tho
presidents of the other national societies invaria
bly ioined tho procession on St. Patrick's day.

'i 'icre was rather more activity in the Stock

of this city, died last evening altera brief illness.
Referring to American stocks in Germany,
the London Times says :
"The advices from Frankfort mention that,
notw ithstanding the abundance of money, the
liquidation at the end of the month was not
easv, as laree purchases of United States bonds
bad to be pro ided tor. Enormous amounts of
'options' falling due have been realized, but
speculation is so active tnat they were all taken
up at rising prices. Quotations are now fully
two per cent, in advance of New York, and pre
miiirns for the call are given in extraordinary
sums at 1 per cent, for the end of March. Under
these circumstances, n'l attempts to bring any
other seen rities upon tbe market are unavailing.
New Portuguese preierence shares of 5nof. nomi
nal value, were oilered yesterday at 120f.; but
there were very tew subscribers. The market
lias been tried by Borne Italian towns, but
although the bonds were offered at singularly
low prices, the endeavor utterly failed. Eveii
Austrian bonds, In the lace of the fact that tin;
currency Is ouly one per cent, below par, and
that therefore uo loss is any loneer Incurred on
the dividends, are lower than at any previous
time, exceiit during the war. 'Five per Cent.
Nationals,' it is remarked, "remain at til aud
l'oiir-and-a-Half per Cents, at 61, and are, even
at this low point, bartered away for Americans,
although the interest, which has been regularly
paid ever since 1810, has mainly contributed to
the great wealth of our towns and ot Southern
Germany.' Discount in the open market is at 3 J
per cent."
Tbe New "York Tribune this morning says:
"Money ou call is quoted at 5G per cent., with
more otlerlnc at the lower rate than can be rea
dily employed. Commercial paper passes moro
readily at the discount houses, but littlo or
nothing is sold under 7 per cent. Good is 89,
and there is a large supply at 10(i415. Act on upon,
the bill to fund tbe currency obligations of trie
Treasury is waded for with interest in finan
cial circles. There is little doubt that the
Secretary will be given all the power required to
get the national debt into a condition where it
can be steadily reouccd irom siupltis incomes.
The movement towards specie payments has pro
ceeded so tar that nothiug can preveut tho de
sirable condition ot alfairs at an early day. Con
gress, by want ot courage in aulunf tho Secre
tary, may prolong the tioubles of people obliged
to pay fixed sums of money from ascw steadily
tailing in value, but it cannot save people from
the inevitable losses attending the passage of
goldirom 285 to 100."
A New Orleans paper of the 10th Inst, says;
"The supply of domestic exchange ha shown
Borne increase, while tho demand at bank for
reimttaueo has disclosed a very marked falling
otf, and rates manifested decided weakness to
wards the close of business. All of the banks
hold Biuht checks on the Northern cities nomi
nally at IQii per cent, premium, but most of
theiu will sell round amounts at par, at which
latter f gures several operatious were effected.
The ruling tuures at tho close of business were
lor New 1'ork Bight, I premium to par pre
mium at bank, aud pur cent, d.scouut out
ot doors; five, and 10 days siirht j'fjj.i per cent,
discount; 15 and 20 days' $fjj percent, discount.
30 days' lfeli per cent, discount, and
60 days' at liiliper cent, discount. Foreign
exchange Is lower, and so mo small sales were
ellected during the morniui: ut fully one per
cent, above yesterday's figures. The closing
f.itures this evening were tor bauk sterling 140)
141; clear bills 137(jl:;8; bill of lodiu'z bills
132(T130; bank francs iu, and out-door francs
4-bi((,4-10l."
A despatch from Washington says:
"The motion to reconsider the vote on the
loan bill comes up to-day in too House, aad it is
believed that enough votes have been secured to
lecoubider and then pass it. It is uot yet certain,
however, as some ot the members are very un
certain, and over a dozen voted airainst it on
Friday nL'ht, who were thoucht to be trust
worthy in its favor.
"Pursuant to a call, a large number of tho
citizens of the Northern Territories met here on
Saturday, for the purpose of expressing tneir
views as to the practicability ot the proposed
northern route of the Pacific 'Railroad. A com
mittee of five was appointed to preoare an a i
dress urging Congress to grant the aid aked
lor, after which the meeting was addressed by
several gentlemen present."
