Ihe late King bad learned, to bis own cost, and that ot his daughter, to what extent the ruinous ilberslity ot his son-in-law Maximilian went; and as tbe dower ol tbe young household had been de voured in a few years, be wished by his last will to prevent Ihe recurrence of such dissipation, in order to assure to tbe yonog couple a fortune equal to their high position in ihe word until the eud ot their days. However, the restriction did not go so iar as to place under posthumous sequestration that large sum; no, the Princess Charlotte had the right to leave the capital to whom she pleased, but during ber lite she was forbiddon to dispose of it without the advice and consent ot her tutelary council. Tbe Empress of Mexico wished to obtain the au thorization ot lier two brothers to alienate the capital to the profit of Mexico, for the consolidation ot ber throne; but, alas 1 the two brothers have in herited the prudence or their father, and have remained deal to the solicitation of their sister.

SWITZERLAND. Another Fearful Accident at Mont Itlauc. J'aris (Ot tober 17) Corretpondence ot London Timet. Tho news of another disaster comes to us from Cbamounix. It appears that the tine weather bad attiacted a considerable, number of families to that place, and among others Captain Arkwright, an Englishman, with his mother aud his two sisters. On Fiiday morning last he resolved to attempt the ascent ol Most Blanc, and one oi hi sisters decided to aocompany hi in as far as the Grands Uulets. Ear y on the following morning Captun Ark wriuht took his departure with two guides aud a porter, and about 9 o'clock they were seen ascend ing the Grand Plateau. In advance of tho party went Silvain Couttet, the proprietor of tho now huts on the Grands-Mu'ets, attached by a roue to a coaoliman of the Ho el Hoyul, known by the nauio of Nicholas, who wished to profit by the opportu nity to ascecd Mout Blanc On reaching the Grand Plateau the parties agreed to take tho passage which bad been usually followed bofore 1320, but which was subsequently abandoned in consequsnce f a catastrophe similar to the present. They adopted it in preference to the ''Corridor," fi oio lis shortening the Journey by two hours, aud becauso they calculated to bave much loss ice to cut through, as was experienced durlug the summer by three or tour other pur ties. They were about half an hour in their ascent, when Hvlvatn Couttet, who was in advance, suddenly heard above him a loud detona'ion. He looked up, and to his horror saw an avalanche rushing down with fearful rapidity. He instantly shouted out to those who wort below him, "bave yourselves 1 to the right I to the right I" He threw himself in that dircotion, advanced a few etcia, struck bis staff into the snow, and clung to it with all his might, and bis companion Nicholas did the same. They both threw themselves flat on their faces, and buried their heads in the snow. They had hardly done to when a tremendous crash lollowed, and tho immense mass thundered along quite close to them to close that they were all over splashed with the fragments of the Ice. In a few minutes, wnen the avalanche bad passed, they raised them solves up, and looked about for their unfortunate ron pa nions. lhey saw nothing nothing but a tnnew under tneaa, and further down ou the Grand jhaUM mM of tilocki of foe, Conltet and Nicholas descended In all hast In tho same direction, and searched every wnere in thi hope ot bearing a cry or moan to indicate that some had survived the catastrophe. They at Inst per ceived an arm. At great risk to thomsolves they reached the spot, and dragged out irom beneath the blocks a dead body, the skull crushed and tne breist laid open. They laid it on the snow and resumed their search, but found nothing more. They renoived to descend and announce to tho sister and to the other lamllies that there was no hope beyond the faint one of finding, on the follow ing day, the throe other bodies bunod in tho ice. lhey reached the Grands-Mulets, where Miss Ark wright had been left, and informed ber that it was useless to wait any longer, and that she berseli must, without a moment's delay, descend with them. The writer of a letter from Chamonnl says: "Imagine the scene that took place the lamenta tions ol the mot hois of tbe three widows, and ol the nine orphans. The pen is powerless to describe It. Mrs. Arkwright, bewailing her son ; her two daugh ters weeping lor their brother; but calm and firm, and relying on the will or God, who tries them so cruelly. They ate still hoping, unfortunately against hope, for (be recovery ol the bodies or tbe victims." On Sunday morning lift eon men, selected from among tbe most Intrepid ol the population, lelcon the seaicb. They proposod to pass tbe night on the Grands-Mulcts, in order to begin oarly the followiug morning clearing away the avalanche; and many others have ottered tbemsolves to act on the follow ing daj 11 necessary. Fortunately tho weather was tine, and favorable to thei- perilous work. An American family, who did not wish to have their names mentioned, gave the Mayor 260 f. for tho three widows, THE EASTERN QUESTION. The Latest Despatches Reports from the Scat of War tu Caudla Influence of the Movement ou (he Policy of the Great Powers. AVhknb, October 11. Tho advantage reported to have been recently gained by the Cretans appears not to possess the importance attributed to it at first. The engagement in question turns out to bave been merely a teconnolssanco, in vghlcb. Urge nurabors of the Turkish forces took part with trifling loss. The officers ot a Kusian frigate that has arrived in the l'irieus report that when they wero leaving the port of Canoa they met TurkiBh vessels bringing numerous Mussulman families into that harbor. This circumstance has given rise to different Inter pretations. Home believe that the families were those ot native Turks besieged by tbe Greeks at Candanos, in the district ot Selinon, whom Turuisb troops had been despatched to bring of) bv sea, whilo others imagine these iamiiies belong to Ko thumnos. It appears certain that no further decisive attack has been made by the Turco Egyptians; indeed, at Vryvces, where the Egyptians were so badly eut up, the Cretans began tbe battle. The insurgents continued animated by great con fidence in ihe success of their undertaking. 1'heir weak poiut is armament, and tho Greeks are making extraordinary efforts to lorward arms and muni tions. This, ot course, refers solely to private indi viduals, tbe Gieek Government continuing to ob serve strict neutrality. Numbers of volunteers bave felt for Caudia; but the Cretans do not laclfinon; tboy only ak material aid. Tbe outbreak ot the revolt was not anticipated in Greeoe, and took place just at the period when couidiablo financial em barrassment weighed upon tho country. The Greeks, however, show great enthusiasm in tho cause ot their brethren, and came to thair auiutano with all t means at tnoir disposal. The Turkish Government has prohibited the en trance of Greek newspapors into the Turkish do minions, and it is evon reported that letters coming from Greece aro oponed and read by lurkish ot item's. It is said that the b'ockado of tbe island of Candia declared by the Tnrks lias been found insufficient, and that the Greek Government, in accordance with the principle laid do vu by tbe treaty of Paris, bas refused to recognize its existence.

Richmond, November 1. In the Hustings Cotirt to-inonow will bp called for trial ono of the suits brought by the Rothschilds to recover nowssion of a larpe amount of tobacco seized by John S. Loomis, Treasury Aifcnt, as Con federate properly, under the act of Congress re lating to captured aud abandoned property. The present is an nction broucht against tbe warehouse keepers, but tho United States steps in and defends the suit in the name of the Gov ernment. The other two suits, are In Chancery, and have been brouirht into the Circuit Court. In the trial tr -morrow, Hon. 8. II. Chandler and Judire Ames appear for the United States and Messrs. Ould and Crump for the other side. The Roths childs first applied to tho Secretary ol 8tate ior the release of this tobacco, but he decided it was a matter not undor his coutrol, and re ferred the application to the Secretary ot the Treasury. Mr. McCulIocb held that having been seized, tho tobacco must be sold by the Government, and Btated that the claimants had their remedy in anaction in theCourt of Claim. Instead of heaikenintr to the sensible ad vice, the Rothschilds immediately instituted these various suits iu the State courts, their first steps being to procure an injmrjtioii, by which, some time ago, Colonel Loomis was re strained irom selling the tobacco, since which time it has been in possession of the Sueritt' of H nrico county. The Rothschilds may succeed in their suits in the fStale courts, but under the ruling of Mr. McCulloch it is difficult to see what pood success will do them. Tho Govern niaut can hardly violate the law and surrender Iho property in obedience to the order of any State court. The value of the property in con troversy is stated at about two hundred thou sand dnllurs. . Tbe District Court of the United .

CONSPIRACY TO HA.NQ JEFF. DAVIS. Arrest of Oue of the Conspirator for Subornation of Perjury Auvestlgatton Before Judge-Advocate Turner Inte resting Batch of Affidavit!, Etc. I'rom the ATew IV r Herald of to-day, In the recent exposure of a conspiracy to hang Jeff. Davi-, as a ptirty concerned in the assassination ot President Lincoln, our readers will remember that a man named Paui'ord Conover, alias Charles A. Dunham, figured as ne of the principal characters iu the plot. Conover was the chief agent of Judge Advocate General Holt and procured for him ceitain wit nesses, who, for a consideration, swore falsely to matters tending to implicate Jeff. Davis in the murder of Mr. Lincoln. The exposuro of this conspiracy and the correspondence between Judge Advocate-General Holt, and his tool Conover, produced a tremendous fluttering among Washington ofiicials and politicians at the time, but the excitement gradually wore away. ARKFST OF ONE OP THE CONSPIRATORS. We are likely now to have a revival of the ex citement growing out of the arrostol ono of the conspirators on a charge of subornation of pjr jtiry in connection with the conspiracy in ques tion. The authorities in Washington having bepn convinced of the truth of the exposure, have at length, through tho agency of L. C. Turner, Judge Advocate of the War Depart ment, taken steps to puuWh tbo parties impli cated in the conspiracy. Matters having assumed a tangible shape, it was decided that the best method of getting the entire depth of the scheme was to look up all the parties con nected with the attempted fraud and subject them to punishment. To this end, Mr. L. (!. Turner, Judge Advocate, War Department, arrived in this city nome days ago with the necessary papers for the arrest of Conover, alias Dunham, who was said to be hero. The United Slates detectives at once went to work, and succeeded yesterday in tracing Cono ver and taking blni into custody, and he was last evening taken back to Washington. The ollicial investigation now going forward there regarding this scheme is to be continued for the present. It is said that Conover will fit once l c biought to answer before tho proper tribunal there tor his misdemeanor, and rumor hai it thnt "persons in high places" who deemed it for their best interest to nhow complicity on the part nf Jellerson Davis in the assassination of President Lincoln, by false testimony or other wise, will find themselves held up to public a?. in a manner lhey little dream of.

New Orleans, November 1. A letter from the city of Mexico, to the 20th tilt., has been received. . At that date scarcely a semblance of imperial power remained. A lavoiite corps, selectee from the most reliable matetial which the city presented, and supposed to bo tirmly attached to Maximilian and his policy, had revolted, and, after a massa cte of its Austrian officers, had joined the Liberal forces. The Austrian band, which had been in the habit of playing imperial airs in the Plaza, was stoned by the populace, and could appear no loLger without the protection of a military Rtiard. The Emperor, by reason of sickness and dis tvess of mind as to the health of tbe Empress, had shut himself up in the castle of Chcpul tepee, and had ceased to appear in public. His early abdication was expected. Affaire at Me tainovns. Matamoras, October 20. It is not thought here that Mfjia will attempt to occupy this bor der, as it could only be done at a large expense ot blood and treasure, and wub no correspond ing advantage. Canales is stilt in possession ot tho town. Tapla is about three leagues out with 1800 men. Negot iations for the surrender of the city have been in proarpss for the past few days. They closed yesterday without any practical result. Colonel Fennija, of Ortega's statf, arrived in Biownsville yesterday. He has been closeted with prominent Mexicans who are friends of Canute and supporters of Orkaa ii.t-L iiiBFniOTntng expressed his determl- itttiou to hold the 'iiy at all hazards againtt Tapia and Cortiuas. This is probably the re sult of tbe arrival of Colonel Fennija, and it is generally believed hero that he will shortly pronounce in favor of Ortega. The forces of Tapia aud Cortmas will be' combined tor an attack, which will be delayed some days on account ol the bad condition ot the roads. Advices from Monterey state the important fact that General Torvtuo was at El Cedral, in the State of 8an ini Potosi, on the 11th instant, and on that day issued a proclamation to the people of that State.

THIRD EDITION FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON. SPECIAL DESPATCHES to kvkmmo tkleokafh.J Claim ARalast the Oovcrnntnt, Wa'sbinoton, November 2. During the month of October one hundred and twenty-two clatus were filed at the rooms of tbe Claims Commis sion, which Is connected with the War Depart ment. These embrace claims for almost every description of properly impressed, damaged, used, or destroyed by the Union troopsjduring the late war. It appears from the record that ot ono hundred and seventeen, claims filed during the months of August and September, tifteen were rejected, thirteen allowed, thirty four returned to the claimants' attorneys, and the remainder continued for further evidence or held under advisement. Defense of Secretary Harlan. Tbe Hon. James Harlan this morning pub lishes an elaborate reply to statements hereto fore made impugning his motives in the sale ot the Cherokee neutral lands. Being thoroughly convinced that the interests of the Indians re quired It, he says he sought diligently for a pur chaser, and after failing in all other quarte be ultimately effected a sale to the American Emigrant Company of Connecticut. He claims that his contract was in accordance with the treaty, aud that with reasonable diligence, the whole amount, except his expenses of survey and sale, would be in the Treasury to the credit of the Indians, or at in terest, within one year from the sale of the contract. By the other mode of sale in driblets, the ex penses would be much greater, and, judging from past experience, it would be a lifetime before the whole would be converted into cash. A few interested parties desired the vacation of the contract tor purposes of speculation. Mr. Harlan concludes by saying, "Not regarding them as disinterested advisers" their advice was not followed by me. I preferred to follow my own judgment of what the true interests of the Indians and tbe people of Kansas re quired. "I did what appeared to me to be both wise and just, and I neither fear nor doubt the judg ment of an impartial public opinion; and if my successor should follow the advice of tbe Attor-noy-Ceneral. set hru1 tha mi in making abetter disposition of these lands, none of his friends would be more highly grati fied than I shall be with his success." President Johnson In Favor of Peace. It is understood that the forthcoming message of tho President of the United States to Con gress will be all in favor of peace at home and abroad, and hence all oppo-:ed to war or war like drifts. . AH Quiet at Baltimore. Baltimore, November 2. The city Is per fectly quiet. No disturbance has taken place b'ond an attempt to murder a policeman last night by firing at him while iu Taylor's News Rooms. The new Commissiouers have not yet made their appearance, or made any formal demand upon the old Board, nor have they yet applied to be 6vorn in. There ia no truth whatever in the report tele graphed from this city that Mayor Chapman has decided to recognize the newly appointed Police Board. On the contrary, he is outspoken in his determination not to do so. SECOND DESPATCH. Baltimore, November 2. The latest report is that Mr. Berry has positively declined the ap pointment of Police Commissioner tendered Lira by Governor Swann. Fire at Maysville. Cincinnati, November 2. The Commercial reports tbe burning of a barge with to hun dred barrels ot coal oil, at Maysville. The loss STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS. Mr. George W. Curtis has an article ou this "bold, bad man" in the current number of the M or Hi American Review, in which he is de scribed "as of all our noted politicians the one who had reduced immorality in politics to a science." Mr. Curtis tays: "A man of plausibility and adroitness, Ur. Doug las was totally destitute of doep conviotions or of moral force. His attainments were superficial, and bis methods ot public persuasion and appeal utterly uimu and unscrupulous. Ho bad a certain popular ant action akin to that of a pilze-Ughter, which was lavored even by his personal appearance; and he uitf lit well be callea the Uenecia Boy oi Amor. can politics, lint he was instinctively shunned by nobler mii'US, ana was most oistrtistea oy tnoso wuo ino'i tru y undei stood our Government and its principles, and who believod most in tne people. His ambition was uncontrollable. Ue lived ior political e floor, ai.d constantly in tbo public eye. take all dema gogues, he despised the people whom he flattered; and, while in bis speeches there was a certain vulgar familiarity with the crowd, there was never a gdiio roi s impulse or heroic thought, or a profound and humane principle. Hisspeeoaes were often skilfully vophiBtieal, but tlnre was never any gleam of humor in them, nor giaoo ol fancy, nor touch of pathos They were incredibly commonplace ; and we doubt it a single sentence from one ot them sur vives in any school-book of declamation, or lingers in one human memory. He confirmed no young mini's laitb; he cheerod no old man's despondency, llis name is iden plied witu a political dode, a trick, an intentional deception, whioh migat oomign a rsco to endless slavory and plunge the country Into hoi eless commotion, and welcome, provided it made him President." 1 1 is a coincidence worth mentioning that Professor Lowell, in tbe same number of tbe Mcrth American, in his article on "The Seward Johnson reaction," speaks of Mr. Douglas in the same strain: "Who was Stephen A. Douglas, that the Presi dent, with his Cabinet and the two highest officers ot tbo army and navy, should add their ottloial dignity to tbe raising of his monument, and make the whole country an accomplice iu oousecrating bis memory f bis name is not associated with a sinple measure of national importance, unless upon tbe wrong side. So far was ho from being a 'e" man that, eveB on tbo lower ground of P0'1, i bolh bis principles and his expression of tuem were tainted with the ret k of vulgar a-sooiations. A man of naturally great abilities he oertlu'f was, but wholly without that instinct ior the biii her atmosphere ol thought or ethics which alone makes them of value to any but their possostor, and without which they are more often dangerous than serviceable to the Commonweaim. habitually courted thote weaknesses in the people which tend to degrade them into a populae. instead pi appeal ing to tbe virtues that grow by use. and whose mere acknowledgment ma man in some sort ennobles him. And, by doing this, be proved that be despised the very masses whose sweet breaths be wooed, and had no fatib In the system under which alone such a one a keeouid have been abletoc'liub so high." - FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
