The date lor hi convalescence Is Used at the time when the Government fball move the payment ot the Papal debt.

The people are cenainly excited j It is said that they are lecolute and organized. The form which their resistance to a chanee of government s ex pected to take is a general refusal to pay the taies.

AUSTRIA. Monetary Convention with France and Switzerland. The Austrian Government is about to appoint a special commission to make arraugemenu for the adhesion of Austria to toe Monetary Coa vectioD between France, Italv, Belgium, and Switzerland. J TURKEY. Cretan Affaire Interference of tbe Great ' Powers. The representatives of Prance, Russia, Aus tria, Prussia, and Italy are jointly pressing the Porte to grant an armistice to the Cretans, and to consult the Christians whether they would prefer an autonomy or to be annexed to Greece. The English Ambassador, acting apart, only recommends an autonomy. At present the Porte refutes both these propositions, but would probably consent to an autonomy under a guar antee ot the great powers. Large reinforcements are being sent to the Greek frontiers, where a serious outbreak is apprehended. The Generalissimo, Omar Pacha, is going to take tbe command-iu chief. Twenty thousand mititia have been called out, and great apprehensions are entertained lor the internal tranquillity of Constantinople, and the importa tion of arms has been prohibited. The Karthqnake In the Archipelago. A correspondent of the Levant Herald, writ ing from Mitylene on the 20th ot March, says: 'I eannot yet give you toe final details of the havoc caused by the calamity which ha be fallen us, as shocks still continue, and it has been impossible to prepare up to the present moment any reliable official return; even the ruins have not jet beeu completely explored. So far, !n the town of Mttylene itself 150 bodies have been dug out and interred, aud to judae from the lectid smell which prevails, especially near the bazaar, there are, perhaps, still many victims lying under the mass of fallen rubbish. The number who have perihed taroughout the island Is estimated at about 1300, the entire population being 80,000, of whom 10,000 only are Mussulmen. No further assistance has come to hand since that I last reported, but the tents, stored, etc., which had already been sent are being distributed every day to those who are in most pressing need of iheta. Marco pasha and the staff of mertioal men under his orders have been most a?jiduou. since they were sent here by the Sultan. in their charitable work. They have paid every attention to the sick ana wounded. The other day Marco Pasha went in person to Moliva aud Calonni, and at tbe latter place, which bus suflered severely, he has openi da couple of places of refuge tor the homeless and two temporary hospitals." Another letrer In the saaie Journal, dated from Cephalouta. Msrch 15, gives the lollowin Oeials: "The Island continues to feel indications of volcanic action. Forty days have elapsed f ince tbe calamity which has inflicted so much injury first burst upon us, and the shocks have not vet ceased, althouga they have become much weaker. People are looking forward anxiously to tbe opening up ot a crater on one of the mountains, which will iu all probability take place, and thus give vent to the eruption, and put an end to the shocks of eartnquake.

The Commercial Panic In Paris-Great T n.a."... Among all Clae.es of Society. r..rilence of the London lime. PAmis Monday, April 8. I scarcely remem btJ an v period iic the President, election in 1848, thoueh many important events have occurred since then, when more uneasiness, ditqmet, and enervating discouragement pre vailed among all classes of society than at thi moment, and all this as era vat ed by the per sistent silence of the Government on the ques tions which ngltate tbe public mind. There la a sense of disappointment, and something more, even amng those who were accustomed to place unbounded confidence in the ability of their rulers, for they feel how com rletely have been falsified ttie assurances elven by tbe Prime Minister in the Legislative body that France had not only no reason to complain, but every reason to rejoice at what took place last year: that Germany was less strong than before; that she was now broken up into three fracmcnts instead of being one compact Con- lederatiou; that rrussia was deoflrrea rrom entertaining any further ambitious projects but not a word about Luxembourg or Bcleium. They sec that the whole policy of Prussia is a crush in? answer to M. Rouher: that his theory of the three fragments Is dissipated by the treaties with the Southern States of Germany; that any secret designs in respect to Beleium are re sponded to by tbe marriage of the Count of Flanders with a Princess of Hohenzellern, and that the pretensions to Luxembourg are dis posed of by the interpellation of M. Bennigsen, by the intense agitation in Germanv, and the appeal to the Powers that signed the Treaty of 1839. One of the Paris papers, never favor able to the annexation of that province to France, says: "Ttie question or Luxembourg Is no longer one of ngcraudlr.enicnt, It Is one of imtloniil dignity ami in fluence. A greut couniry like France Is always at liberty not to put forward pretensions, but the day It does put llieru forward and considers them Just, it cannot renonnre them at the bidding ot any foreign power, efptcially wueu that power hiis no rlg'it ot Its own. The day when It Is otherwise, the day when France expresses her wish only to bend belore the Injunctions of the foreigner, she Is no longer a power even of tbe third rank, and. to use M. Thiers' expres sion, she Is no more than Belgium. The conclusion to be drawn from the article of the Etr.mtard Is, tben, either the evacuation of Luxembourg by Prussia, or war, after a brief delay, between Prussia and France." The apprehensions of tne public are, moreover, increased by the rumor that Marshal MacMahon has been telegraphed lor; that a note, "couched In energetic terms," relative to Luxembourg, has been addressed by the French Government to that of Prussia; and that certain officers of the staff have been sent en mission to the Rhine. Thp truth is, that people believe France to be drifting into war with Prussia. In these circum stances, it is not surprising that there should bo a general emanation of business, and that, tbe spirit of commercial and industrial enterprises should be paralyzed. At the Bourse on Haturday there was'tiot merely a fall in the Rentes, but a panic, which affected all sorts of public securi ties. On the strength of tbe despatches from the Hague, it was hoped that it would open with a rise. It was quite the contrary, and on ieflection it was seen that those despatches, instead of showing that tbe Luxembourg ques tion was abandoned, only meant that it was displaced; that it was no longer at the Hague, but at Berlin; and that the resolution come to by the King of Holland has the effect ot placing Franca face to face with Prussia. In addition to these causes of uneasiness, we have tbe nume rous strikes among tbe various classes of arti sans and the combinations existing among them; the discontent occasioned by the unfortunate Army Organization bill; and the delicate health of the Prince Imperial, which, however, I am assured, has beeu greatly exaggerated.

ScnatoT Wilson's Southern Tonr-IIc Speaks to tbe Negroes of Rich mond Six Thousand Colored Fcllow-Gltizcns Assem bled to Hear Ilim, Etc. Etc. Etc. Richmond. Va., April 22. The colored popu lation ot Richmond and the vicinity assembled in large numbers this evening on the Capitol hquaie, to see and hear Senator Wilson, of Mas sachusetts. The whiles assembled also, but in relatively small numbers. The blacks en camped on and around tne base of theeaues- trmn statue, and the whites on the steps ot the northwest portion ot the Capitol. The space Detween us was neuttai ground, wnere tne whites and the blacKs moved around, smoked, and got un side discussions. The air was sultry and dusty ; the blacks looked triumphant and iolly and the whites crestfallen aud care worn; but no unpleasant incident occurred. Aliout half past 6 o'clock there wax a move ment from the monument to tbe Capitol, beaded by Huiinieutt. It that name be not lamiliar in the United States, it certainly is In Richmond and throughout Virginia. It belongs to a light ing par,on who has turned editor, and who aspires to be the real Moses of tbe people who were in bondage, and who believes in the oioit- cal example of spoiling the Egyptians. He is, consequent iv, very popular with ttie blat ks. hiiu proportionately nateiui to tne wnira oi uie Old Dominion. As be moved towards tne Capitol a body-guard of black men moved with him, and tbe rest of tbe people louowea. rest of the They had ascertained that the speaking would be from tbe steps of the portico, not lrom the j monument. Boon after 8enator Wilson made his appear ance at the head ot the steps. He was accom panied by Governor Pierpont. Several mem bers of the State Legislature were also near him. There were present at the time some six thousand colored people, men, women, and children, and some two or three hundred white people. Governor Tierpont in a few words introduced the Massachusetts Senator. The colored people cheered him, but not very enthusiastically. Some white men joined In tbe chef rs, but the great majority were silent and looked sullen. SENATOR WILSON'S SPEECH. Henator Wilson stated that lie appeared before his lellow-ciil.eiiB ot Virginia In response to a vety kind InviUili n signed by several members of the Legisla ture, and that be would express his views ou public affairs with entire frankness, as be bad been always uncustomed to do In Congress and everywhere else. (This pleased the colored people, aud thoy gave ex pression to their teellngs lu their owu peculiar way.) Benaior Wilson went on to say that be wa-Sfor blottliig from the memory of mankind, as lur aud as last as possible all prejudices engendered by the war, and all the hales aud bitter memories associated with It, lie was for making this country the most powerful nation which the sun In its course looked down upon. He was tor making every man, no matter to what race be belouged, or of wnat hue bis skin might be, a ciilzen of tbe United Utates, with all the rigliia. and all the privileges, and all the Immunities llliat belong to citizens of the United Stales.' At this expression ot sentiment tbe blacks cheered, and some of tbem waved their haw, and a lew whites did the same. The rest of the whiles pre served their silence and their downcast sullen attitude. Mr. W llsou then reviewed tbe past history or tbe slavery agitation, the events of tbe war, and the political conditions that followed the peaco. In this he covered generally the same ground as In his speech at Orange Court House, telegraphed yesterday to the JVlrpruph, Addresstug him self to the colored people, he. told them that no man, no community, and no state could take from them a single right that tbey now possessed: that their lights were as sacred, as clearly accepted, and as completely Imbedded iu the soil of the .North American continent, rs were the great truths which lay at the foundation of Hetuocratic institutions. To his white hearers he spoke ot the chimeras of the great slave empire which the leaders of secession bad dreumed of, but which hud beeu dissi pated iu tbe smoke of battle; ot the loars entertained at tbe close of tue war that im prisonment, hanging, and confiscation would be among the penalties of their Rebellion; of the re moval of these apprehensions: aud of the general bad results of the policy which 1're.klent Johuson had adopted. Breaking of the President, he said: We Itok blm up because he happened to be oorn South, and happened to be a loyal man, and because we wanted to encourage loyally to the country and he has betrayed un. (Laughter lrom the colored citi zens.) Referring to bl opposition to the twenty thousand dollurs exemption In the amnesty procla mation, he said that he favored the assignment ot a tew acres of ground on every plantation to the colored families employed upon U. (That Idea wun highly acceptable, and was much ap plauded by those who were the lutended beneficiaries.) Kelerrlug to the Coustliuletfial. amendment basing representation upon the voting population, be declared his belief that if Virginia had adopted that amendment, sullragn would have been extended to the colored people within ayoar, because Virgil ians liked otllce Just as well as Yankees liked mom y (laughter) but they had chosea to listen to Andrew Johnson ratber than to men who madit Andiew Johnson. (Applause.) Audrew Johnson had Slumped the Northern (-tales, and had come back the woisi whipped man that ever trod American soil. (Lutighler.) He had a masierly genius lor defeating hlnixeli. Mr. fseward, at the same lime, had told the men of New York ihst that Wiate would give forty thousand majority lor the President because ihe Republicans had lost their lenders. Rut the Repuu lii uu pi.riy could survive tbe detection of Mr. Howard ami of its other leaders, because It was composed of the cu.tivaled, intelligent middle lasses ol the pe, p. e. who followed no men, but followed the coin liiiiiids ol Almighty Ood. the teachings of the greut and good ot all ages, and the instincts tlwlr own hearts. It tbe same classes in Virginia ould do the same, and not ask what Mils man or tbe other mau thought, they would carry tbe State this year by twenty-live thousand majority. (Cheers.) tspeaking of the bherman-bhellabarger bill, he related Its history, and said that it had so many lathers Ibut II uutned after them it should be called the Willlams-Stevens-BlnK-ham-ltlaine- Johnson -Bheruiau-Wllsou-Sbellabarger bill. (Laughter.) In conclusion, he appealed to tbe eolored voters to eland by the prluulples of the party that bad given them their freedom, their rights, and their privileges. He knew very well that the JJeinu crats would be chasing down the freedmeu to get their vote; but tbe freedmeu could not forget Bryant and Whlttler, and Lowell and Longfellow, and the eliHiuenl men who had been for tnlrty years dinning Into the ears ot the American people the doctrine that law, humanity, and religiuu demanded the enmnrniailun of the bondman, and that emancipa tion was tbe duty of the master and tue right of Hie slave. They could not forget Abraham Lincoln (response of "Never"), or the men who were around him and about him. They could not forget the two and a hall millions ot soldiers who fought their battles. (Cries of "No.") They could not forget the three hundred and fifty thousand while men who went down to bloody graves In tbe morolug of life that the bondmen inly tH be free. (Voices "We will never forget them.") They could not forget all this end vote lor uvn who had raised the banner of treason uimlnsl their country In order to plant a government whose corne'-stoue was to be raised on bruised and crushed hearts. (Em phatic respouses ot "Never.") He beiieved they would not. The ballot had been put In their bauds, and they would use it lor the cause of the country, of patriotism, ol liberty, of equal, universal, aud Impar tial llheriy. (Cheers ) They would use It for the cause of education, aud they would maud by aud sus tain their friends.

He wanted the black men to vole lor Inelr country, and to vote only for men who were true to the principles of equal, universal, and Impartial liberty to all the children of men. Ha wanted them to drown, "deeper than dlti evfr plummet sound," all the sad, angry, and bitter memories ot the past, to hate nobody, to love their couniry, to thank (tod for their liberty, to be true to themselves, and to have nothing to do with getting up a black party or a white party, but only a parly of freedom.

As Senator Wilson cloed his speech he w is applauded by the assemblage in the sami pro portions bs before noticed. lie had spoken for over two hours and a half. Then tbe more advanced of the colored men began to call tor Uunnicutt, who sat on one of the granite steps near the coping from which Mr. Wilson bad spoken. But the conservative colored men did not like to have the harmony of the meeting marred in that way. and so they called on Governor Pierpont. The Governor responded to the call, and made some remarks in furtherance of the idea of developing btate resources. Another speaker took the rostrum after the Governor; but neither whites nor blacks cared to listen to him, and so they broke up into knots i.nd dispersed iu good order. The last occasion that your reporter witnessed a public meeting on the same ground was exactly six years ago. when the Richmond secessionists gloried there over the fall of Fort Sumter. What a difference between theu and now ! THE HAYT1EN REVOLUTION. Particulars of Oeffrarrl's Flight-Fierce Combat Near the President's Palace. From, the Jamaica Gleaner. For pome weeks past President Geffrard, having received gtcret intormation that a revo lution was being hatched at Port-au-Prince, took puch steps as were necessary for the pre servation ot order and prevention of bloodshed, but on the night ot the 2'2d ultimo, in spite of every precaution, the insurrection broke out with formidable fury. The President's palace was attacked with cannon and grape-snot, and the family were compelled to take refuge In a bedroom. The Presl6?nt, with his private Sec retary, and General Coquierre, called out the Tirilheurs and liooy Guard, and at their head at tacked tbe insurgents. Alter a short engage ment, in which ihe President displayed the utmost courage and calmness himself, fighting hand to band with the Rebels, they were repulsed, and eventually took to tlignt in the country. Twice aid the revo lutionists attack the Palace, and on each occasion they were repulsed with creat slaughter. The next day, the 23d, the utmost excitement prevailed, It beine found that the rebels had captured and held a fort in the city called Port La Mai re. Once more were the Body Guard aud Tirillieur9 called out, and once more were they led by President Geffrard. The tort was attacked, and after a sharp struggle the national troops recaptured it, killing thirteen reDets, among whom were Prospere Kile and his non, two ot tbe principal conspirators. This ap peared to have put a stop to the movements of the rebels lor a time, and everything re mained quiet. The President, finding tran quillity partially restored, in obedience to the public voice, dismissed his Ministry, and formed a new Government. The Cabinet being formed, the President called upon them to prepare to submit for his approval such acts for the reform of any public abu:es as might have beeu at the time existing, and for suggestions ol' reform to general. The .Legisla tive Chambers were convened for the 1st of Ami. bv order of the President, and it was offi cially mtlmatel that as booh as those bodies commenced vueir muiups, nun me wc ui tue couutrv would admit it, the President would lay' his abdicatiou before them. A general amnesty was proclaimed to all takiug part in the insur rectionary movement; but its leaders, De Ltirnie, Saluave, and Salomon, were not in cluded. By this time the Ministry submitted their xnogramme of reiorui, which was ac cepted by the President, the inteniiou ot abdi cation being aeain repeated. On the 9th of Moieb, nowever. tho Government received in formation of another formidable rising iu St. Marc, headed by Victoria Chevalier, a man wfytise lile was spared by the President on a former occasion, lor assisting In eretting up a revolution, which was at tbe time found out aud subdued. Aiding him were Nlsage Sueet, d'eneral of a division of the national army, and Turenne Guerrier, another General in the service of the State. The Ministers of State were Immediately summoned, and informed by the Presidett that he would no loneer adhere to the original intention of waiting for themeetiug of the Leaislature to resign the Government, hut would do bo without delay, lie was advised to the eontrary, butiefused, assertrng that as the national will seemed to be against him. he did not feel justified in retaining the powers en trusted to bim by the people. On the mornlug of the 13th the formal act of abdication was drawn up, and signed in the presence of the Minister?, and at 4 o'clock in the eveninir the President, accompanied bv Madame Gettxard, Adutant-General Bover Coquierre, wile and child; General St. Macary, commanding the Tirailleurs; Colonel St. Aruiaud, Private Secre tary to the President; Major Duprey, wife ani child ; Sineas Laraque. Consul at this port; M. Cesnet, wife and three children; M. A. Winor. wile and child; Miss Terrv. and six servaat-i, embarked on board H. I. M. steamer D'Eitttig, which was at Port-au-Prince. The Presidout was escorted by a body of cavalrv. Shortly before the President leit a deputation proceeded, in the llavtieu war steamer Alex andre Petion, for St. Marc, to consult with th heads of the revolutionists as to their determi nation regarding the government 0f the island. In the meuntime, the Ministers resolved them selves into a provisional Government, having first called a Consultative Commission, com posed of J. Paul.
