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-

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:

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

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.

Who. after the tying ot the nuptial knot last

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
