THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1866. BANKS AND CURRENCY ABROAD. Ftrtkr Views by Baron J mm el Rtb child Tk ClresU i'lnamelvr'a Oplnloa f Monetary Affairs. An imperial coromlsMon aavlng tome time since aneemblrd is Ferlsortae purpose of elicit ing news from pronlnent bankers In regard to the state of tie flnaices, sad eHSccially la re gard ta the itatui of tbe Banks of France and England, Baron James de Rothschild was culled pon to give hia opinioaa abont European finances. The following Is the latest report of tbe examination, which was still progressing on tb.e6tb.inBt.: rrepident So jsm think there has been a littie excess, eiiher because the resources ef the coun try, created by labor and economy, have not been in proportion with tbe expenditure, or be cause the cirralation ef moaey Lhh been such in Europe that the long timi It takes to return has been out of proportion to the issne ot paper; that there have been ipsuet remaining unpaid owing to a delay in the return of specie t Is there not a loss of specie almost absolute for Europe with record to the extreme Kasf. a loss which hsi been compensated by the dis covery ol gold in Australia? Baren de Rothschild It is precisely those dis coveries which come to our relief. Bat for them, we should sot have been able to do what we have done. 5 here has been s substitution ot AustiaViun gold, new or native gold, In place ef the specie we have sent to China, or to India, and which will be long before it returns, it it tver doss return. President A time may come, perhaps, when those eeantries' will have a monetary circula tion, and will bs able to effect exchanges with as. At present we pay them in specie; it is to bo hoped that some day wo shall pay ihem in merchandise. Baron de Rothschild Indeed, that Is to be beped; tor there was a moment when I trembled for s ciNis in tiprmnny, because silver had dis appeared. Bo much had been bought to send to China and India; it had become so scarce at Hamburg, Frankfort, end many other towns of Germany where silver is the only circulating medium, as in China and India, that we knew iiotwbm to do. Silver was for a time at from SO Cranes to 40 francs premium per niille. 1'iTt-idoBt Do yos think that the embarrass ments we have felt mav not have been caused by the investments ot French capital in foreign securities? Baron de Rothschild That question mnst be examined in two points of view as regards securities which ure cod, and as regards those which cunnot iunpiie the same conndencs. Thus, with respect to foreign 6;curit'u, I should not consider them all ns identical. I will take Naples, lor instance. I de not speak of tuo kingdom of Ituly, but of that ot the to Sicilies. We have fcened many loans tor the two Sicilies. When the Government suppressed rentes to "bearer, we created certificates to replace (bens, in ordvr to render the negotiation easier in ' France and abroad. When, recontly,tho Italian Government oidered the conversion ef all the debts ot the diRercnt Stnts, it turned out that nearly nil the securities had returned to Italy. I do not think, however, the same would happen with all sorts of securities. President There are among loreigu securities, as among those at home, both good and bad, and investment in bad securities is a loss of capital very disadvantageous for tbe conutry whiaa. makes it; but investments abroad, even in cooi seenrities, may, by the tension of credit result ing therefrom, create momentary embarrass ments. Very good operations may be made with Italy or Gei many, but they will necessitate tbe employment of a large capital which no doubt returns some day, but the exportation ot which may lead, between the moment when the capital is employed and that when it will be reproduc tive, to a time ot suspension and e a tiering for the country making the investments. Baron de Rothschild That can only be mo mentary. What is wanted? Commerce, busi xieps. Xfe cannot keep ourrelves absolutely to ourselves; we must tratlio, we must do business. If we resolved in France to have nothing to do with foreign securities, what weuld become of us? France weald be isolated. President Do you think that the corrective of these foreign investments, loans, railways, etc., is to found in commercial operations themselves, and that, for instance, a nation wbtcn borrows in the French market 500,0(10,000 or 400,000,000, Joes not withdraw them entirely, but employs a part to pay for goods bought there ? Barcn de Rothschild Yes. Seven-eighths or fifteen-sixteenths are employed in buying (roods locomotives for lnbtauce; it is impossible to say bow many we send abroad. I speak from experience. President Thus, you think that the operations of France with foreign countries are not paid entirely with tpecle, but chiefly with merchan dise. You also think that in a rather shortspaco of lime, foreign securities, at a given moment, return to the natives of the country, as yoa have seen in the ease of the Neapolitan loans? Baron de Rothschild Yes. The same thing occurs tor Spanish loaus contracted abroad. Five-sixths of them return to Spain.- President What do you think of the selling of foreign securities at the Paris Bourse? That is the object of qncstion No. 12. Are you of opinion that such should be left entirely free, or that it bhould be subject to Government regula tion? Baron do Rothschild I am of opinion that it should be left complettly free; there is no con venience in such a course. The more you leave capitalists to themselves, tbe better it is for business. Good securities remain; the bad dis appear. Ihus, the Government has granted the lavor of being quoted to many foreign secarities. Well, obser.ve the lists, and yoa will see that there are nianv of those securities which are now quoted. The best way in this matter is to allow capitalists to do as they please. Foreig Governments attach importance to having their securities bold at Paris; but, in France, very little money is Invested in them. President Yoi believe, thtn, that the quota tion of foreign seourities under the authoriza tion of the Government Is useless? Laron de Rothschild Yes. President That it should be left to the Com mittee of the btock brokers ? Baron de Rothschild I could wish that the "brokers were, so to speak, obliged to quote such securities. They osgat not to be al lowed the right of decidisr on tbe matter, because that would moke then masters of the situation. President In England, it is the committee of tbe brokers who regulate sucli things. Baron de Rothschild I believe it would be letter to leave people to do what they like. President Complete liberty? Baron de Rothschild If es, Mr. President. President Which would be checked by the jesponsibility of those who use it? Baron de Rothschild In business, the greater the liberty the better it is. M. Michel Chevalier Baron de Rothschild desires to leave liberty to capitalists, to allow them td do what they think Qt. I am pleased with that, tor my part; but in presence of that declaration I am somewhat astonished at what lie fcaidjust now on the export of gold or silver. Why does he consider the export of gold and silvers misfortune? President I do not think that Baron de Rothschild said that be considered that a mis' fortune. Baron de Rothschild No, certainly; I did not say that I considered the export ot gold and silver as a misfortune. I began by sayicg that I demand complete liberty for the commerce and the circulation of gold und silver. Did 1 not say so, Mr. President? President Assuredly, and It was on that ac count that I permitted myself to make the ob servation to M. Michel Chevalier, You luid down the principle of complete liberty. M. Michel Chevalier I an delighted with the reply. It seemed to me that Baron de Roths child had said that it was necessary at a certain moment, and bv measures taken President Commercially I That the Bank ef France, when it feared that Its coin and bullion would be taken away, should place an obstacle memo Dy raising me oiscoant, sua mereoy prevent the export of specie M. Michel Chevalier In that ease. It is mea sures for its own interest which the bank takes. President For the interest or the country. Baron de Bothscbild The bank cannot forbid the export of specie; bat by the measures It takes it mav render tbe export difficult. Hit had not the liberty to raise the rate of its discount all Its specie would De taken away lor export, inai does not mean that 1 demand tbat tbe export ot specie should be Interdicted. I dosire only that It may be checked by an elevation of discount; that is all. M. Michel Chevalier If. at a given moment, there is a tendency among traders to export cold and silver, why should the bauk oppose it by any measures whatever? It does not trouble tbe export ol w neat ana wine; way snouia it trouble ths export of rold? The principle has beea proclaimed, and it has even been wrltton In a law, that the Government iLself will never take measures to prevent the export of wheat; why should the bank take measures to prevent the sending away of gold and silver? Huron de Rothschild I do not believe and I will cot permit rayseir to say that the bank ought to prevent the export of gold and silver. Ko; that ought not to be prevented so long us it cannot plsce the bank in a dangerous situ ation. But everybody has the right to defend himself, and it the bank finds that too much gold and silver Is being exported, and may con seouentlv fear tbat in case the reimbursement of its notes shoald be demanded it could not make it, it Is its duly to say, "I will reduce my oisccanu ana augment inn interest or money, so as to be always in a situation to reimburse my notes." resident la respect the laws or converti bility? Duron de Rothschild Yes. M. Michel Chevalier Do you believe that there are no otaer means than raising the discount to prevent the precious metuls from being exported? Do yoa believe that when they tond with a cer tain lorce to go awny, that prevents them? narou ae uotMHcuiid ita. ceitaini v. and I will tell you why. The raisinir of interest makes the ranty of money. Leave the interest of money at its ordinary rate, at a modorato rate, nobody is disquinted, nobody takes precautious; wnerecs me raitinz oi interest atwavs causes something unpleasant to be feared. I, for exam ple, am seated at my dess; 1 receive a fetter from Ale xandiia, Send me a million in Of. pieces." The discount is at 4 per cent.: I see no danger. I can send the money. But if the discount of the bunk be ralred, I fay to myself, "I must take precautions," und I do not send the money. Knowiac that I shall have payments to make at such and such an epoch, and not Knotting that money will not be still rarer at that moment. I keep my funds, nnd 1 renounce a profit of 3 or 4 percent, rather thun send my money. JU. Mi otic I tnevauer iiut it the sum be due. you cunnot avoid paying it; even if tliQ discount should be at twelve or tifteeu per centum, the money must be sent I uaron ue Kotiisctiild Ho doubt: but I put the hypothesis U at I owe nothiug. A certain profit is proposed to me to seud a million to Ugypt, or the Indies; money being rare, I do not perform the operation. JU. Michel Chevalier But in case you owed the sum, you uiu.-'t sen it ? iinrou ue Koinecriuu ucrtainty. President Then von consider the rniiinv nf the dkcount hj not being able to paralyze forced ana oongutory operauens, dui as rendering peo ple more circumspect in new operations they may wish to undertake? If that does not pre vunt the export of money which is to pay a debt, it will prevent supplementary exportation, wnicQ wontd ue tne consequence either of too great security, or of too gieut facility in under- tsKing iw operations? Baron ce Rothschild The raising of the dis count is the best manner to warn commerce, to request it to be attentive, not to go too far, and not to eet rid ot its money. Thus in the exam- 1 1. : A- t 1 . -: 1. . 1 .1 . . 1. A 1 ... a ik viiiuu i usi cueu, iuuuu luure is ti prom or three to four per cent.. I abstain Iroin makinar tbe operation proposed to me. Forgery and Deception Anest ot General il. C. Ward llis Guilt and Flight. A notice appears In our advertising columns. from the officers of tho North American Firo In surance Company, that will sadden the hearts of very many of our citizens. General Henry C. Ward, so well and favorably known in this city, and who had won the esteem ot all who knew him, has suddenly fallen. Four years since he enlisted as a soldier in the ranks of the 25th Regiment Connecticut Volunteers, and a few months since returned after four years' service, holding a general's commisslen. It is but a few days back that bis name appeared as one of the distinguished soldiers who nave been confirmed by tho Senate in the rank of Brevet Brigadier General. Having retired to civil life, he was in Decem ber last recommended to the insurance company for appointment as a general a sent. Ue was so appointed, and the company was congratulated on the success of their board in swearing so promising a representative. A few weeks since he was married to one of oar interesting and estimable young ladies. On the 26th ultimo he left with his young wile for the West, on a busi ness tour for the company, and while at the Weddell House, Cleveland, Ohio, was arrested for alleged forgery committed in 1101. He was arrested ut the instigation of Mr. James Horner, ol Minnesota, who tiled an affidavit, setting loith the following statements: On oi about the 1st day of September, 1801, a man giving his name as William A. Lecroix presented a check tor paymennt at the counting-room of Messrs. Temple & Beau pre, in Bt. Paul, Minn. It was signed by B. F. Pratt, and dated St. Peter, Minn., September 1, 1861. The check called lor $560 in gold, which was paid. It was after wards discovered to be a forged paper, and all t-HorU to. find the whereabouts of Lecroix proved unavailing. Mr. Horner, however, recognized in General VaTl the forger, and entered pro ceedings Hgainst him as stated. Confident as were his friends that it was a case of mistaken identity, bail was given in the sum of $1500, and he leturned to this city with the proposed inten. tion of returning t. Cleveland on Wednesday last with facilities to disprove the charge. He left here on Monday morning last, for the al leged purpose of returning to Cleveland in com pany with a member of tbe house of Bpo fiord, Tileston A Co., New York, with whom be claimed to have been associated lor several years prior to his enlistment in the 25th Regiment. He alleged to his friends he should prove that he was in Liverpool as the correspondent of that house nt the time ef the forgery, aid thus prove an alibi. But he bas failed to appear at Cleve land at the time appointed, and now it turns out tbat the bouse of bpotlord, Tileston & Co. never knew him. He has forfeited his bonds, deceived bis friends, and, sudder than all else, has crushed, a young neari so recently connueu to nis care and affection. . Previous to his departure it was suggested to him that, as some inquiry might be made con cerning bis history prior to his appearance here in 1862, it would be well for him to furnish some information, putting it in such a shape that it could be used. He readily responded by writing the following: "Hartfokd, Conn., March 0, 1868 In accord ance with your wish 1 submit herewitu the following memoranda coneeraiuff ssyself : i "lieinit left an orphan in 1882 at two years of aire 1 was placed under the vuurdianehip of Mr. lliiam Broods, of Jamaica, Lonjr Islaun.

Mr. Pritchard, late consul at the Fiji Islands, bus AUSTRIA AMD PRUSSIA. Tfe Bltnatlosji OiowIik Critical patefe of st Peremptory Notcjby Pros la A astrlMnM Kitfaer t Is; r Yield. from the London Owl, March 8. A German crisis is Imminent The Prussian Government has despatched to Vienna a sum mons in respect to Holstein which Is as peremp tory in its tone as its demands. Bismarkls ready to face a war and its consequences. Austria mast at once take uo the gauntlet or yield to the pretensions of Prussia in some what Ignomiulcus manner. From th London Standard, March 6. A c mis is approaching in the relations be tween the two great German Powers, from which there are. but two issues war between tho condoniini of the Elbe duchies, or another surrender on tbe part ot Austria. Tbe Prussian Government bas used the power Riven it by the Gatein Convention to make kchleswlg prac tically its own. It now wants to finish with the matter, and formally annex Holstein and frieiiieswig. tint this pioicct meets with a stub born resistance from Austria. The Austrian Goveiament bos 110 particular views ot its own with regard to the duchies. , It would like le dicpose of them in torue way by w hich it could increase its popularity in Germany, ana dbik iTnssia. iiut it aoes not see now to attain this errand result, and all it can do is to offer as much opposition as possible to the Prus sian projects, partly in ths hope of defeating them, partly with the idea Of compelllnf Prus sia to pay a higher price for its ultimate com pliance, if compliance shoull be found neces sary. The Prussian Government evidently means to risk war, if only war will bring Austria to reason. Count Yon Bismark has cleared bis decks for action. He has got rid of his Parlia ment. Ho has assured himself, or at least he fancies he has tassured himself, of the neutrality ot I-ranee and Russia, lie has money enough in the treasury. He has a good provision of all necessary stores, and, thanks to the reorganiza tion, he has a laine army immediately available to whom he could oiler no more welcome oppo nents than, the Austrians. He is in a better position to deal with Austria than be was last summer, when he extorted Lauenburg from her by an ultimatum. The question is, what will Austria dor mil she yield, as she did last sum mer, or will she tight 1 There can be no doubt w hat tbe Emperor and his Coart would like to do. Tbe (iastien Convention was a bitter humilia tion to them, and the effort becun soon alter to regain Hungary was dictated in no Bmall part by the desire to restore the Etrength of the empire, so as to enable it to resent the arrogance ot Prussia. But good as tbe will of the Emperor to rJabt mny be. great as arc the resources of Austria', cuu any one believe that the Emperor is at this moment in a position to risk war with Prufsia, and above all to risk it tor so small a matter f The buttle would have to bo fought now against much heavier odds than it would have been lnt summer. We do not apprehend any disturbance ot the peace of Europe, becuuse w e cannot believe that Austria will risk war, and the next pbave of the bchleswig-Holsteln ques tion will, therefore, we are convinced, be the practiual commencement ot rrussian rule over both duchies. FASHIONABLE GOSSIP. Marring" of-General Frank Cheatham A Jam at the FirNt Presbyterian Church Imposing CermnlH. Who. after the tying ot the nuptial knot last evenieg, will not be willing to concede that Major-General Frank Cheatham, late of the Confederate army, bas not boldly and practi cally proclaimed hirmclf a Union man ?. And wno so sceptical as 10 uoudi mat, alter ail, such delichttul episodes as the one which has lust transpired, participated in, as it was, by ex-uonieoerates una sturdy unionists, radicals and conservatives, Episcopal dignitaries and Presbyterian divines, the ton of Kashvillo and rustic- beauty, go a great way towards pro moting both social ana national unity, and bancning the long-taiKea 01, long-wi&hed-tor millennium? But the weddine. Before the shades of even ing had iairly lallea, the steps ot the Presbyte rian Cburcn swarmed wit a nu expectant crowd, anxiously awaiting admittance. The gas lighted, and tho doors opened, a rath of Immunity, in broadcloth and silks, bespangled with jewels and wreathed in smiles, poured in tbroueh the openings, and up the Ions aisles; and at lialf- pust seven, tne hour appointed tor tne ceremony, tbe edifice was fairly packed by an assemblage brilliant in gorgeous attire, recherche in their surrosndings, and among whom were to be found the very elite of the City of Rocks. A number of distinguished ex-milltary chief tains ako graced the occasion by their presence, prominent umong them being Generals Buckner, G. W. Smith, of Georgia, and Cerio Gordo Wil liams. Awaiting the arrival of. the bridal party, the organi&t struck, up a lively voluntary ou the powerful organ, and oy-and-by the choir, com posed ot a couple of score of slnsers from diiler- cut city churches, sung an anthem appropriate to the occasion, filling the. edifice with joyful melody. Bishop (Juinlard. snrpliced in flowing gown, now entered ana toon a seat in front ot the pulpit, while seuttcred around, in the ouloit and out, a sprinkling of plainly dressed ministers belonging to different denominations, were quiet spectators of the scene. At about a quarter to eight the bridal party entered, tbe bride Miss Asnio Robertson, lean ing on the atm of her father. The ladies were richly and elegantly attired, and the party at once attracted the closest at tention from the vast audience. We append the names, in pairs, of the bridesmaids and groomsmen who acted on the occasion, the latter having formerly belonged to General Cheatham's stall: Maior Jobn Ingram and Miss Jennie Patterson: Major J. 11. McNaivy and Miss Thomas; Maj. (!. V. Young and Miss Mary Florence L iarif ; maior 11. Hampton and mis Mary Elliot; Major Thomas F. Henry and Miss Sue Clark; Dr. J. R. Buist and Miss Ramsey; .Captain A. L. Lockhart and Miss Lottie Irwin. Bishop Quin- tard, using tbe solemn and impressive service ot the Episcopal Church, performed the marriage ceremony, Sir. Robertson, the young lady's lather, giving away tbe bride. The ceremony over, the Bn-hop requested the audience to re tain their Beats until the bridal sartv had retired from the church. To the newly married pair we extend our congratulations, and wuh them tin bounded bliss for many, many yeari. A'ashvUlt jJtspaica, buiwaay. Americans In Paiis.
