ITALY.
A Conp d'Rtat Expected.
the Florence correopordeat 01 a Paris liberal
Journal, La Liberie, writes to that paper under
the date of March 13, that the present compil
ation ol Italian politics threatens very serious
results. iDFtead of amending, it na every ap
pearance of approaching a crisis. The Liberal
part j attach a atntsti-r sipnlQcimce to certain
passaaes ot the Klnp's speech. U Is whispered
on ail Rides that the soft phrases which hia
liajety delivered so iruiifcly conceal vhe
merace of a coup d'etat. The apparently acci
dental Tiint to the deputies that they did not
hold their seats by universal sutTraee, has piven
special nneaAinesp. it is not surprising, when
we remember that Louis Napoleon is the Gama
liel at whose feet Victor has studied.
Meanwhile Rxtazzl works eravcly away at the
construction of what many people t hi n't will be
the last parliamentary cabinet of Italy, at least
lor the present. Garibaldi is sick. The date lor
hi convalescence Is Used at the time when the
Government fball move the payment ot the
Papal debt. It Is certain that the threatening
complexion ot the political ekv will not keep
him or bis friendB away trom Florence. Tuee
Ituhan Adullamites, known as the consorteria,
fwve anally resolved to support Ratazzi as the
best chance tor postponing the coup. 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. The idea is original and Italian.

pressed by the Russian newspapers on the tale
of Russian America to the United States. It
says: "We can only state that the transaction
is mutually advantageous, that the ports of

countries will be promoted.
AUSTRIA.
Monetary Convention with France

The Austrian Government is about to appoint
a special commission to make arraugemenu for
the adhesion of Austria to toe Monetary Coa

Switzerland.

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.
At Argostoll there are not twenty houses
left standinsr, and tbe distress there is at its
height. The fields are llt uutilled. tor their
owners have no means to pay for labor, and
many of tbe peasantry have emlerated. Trade
is completely paralyzed, and, wiih the excep
tion of carpenters and masons, tbe workmen in
the towns have nothing whatever to do. Rents
have risen to enormous Trices. 20 talaris a
month being offered lor a miserable little place
of two or thiee rooms. Pecuuiary assistance
has been sent here from various quarters, but
the sums remitted . so far will cover
but a small portion ot the total loss,
which is estimated at about 3,000,000
talaris or tome 600,000, in addition
to the loss of three hundred lives and the num
ber of wounded. The King, who spent four or
live days here, went in person to all the places
that have suffered, and after he left seat a cargo

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.

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-

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

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

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

adopted that amendment, sullragn would have been

Virgil ians liked otllce Just as well as Yankees liked

Andrew Johnson ratber than to men who madit

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

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.

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,

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. President, associated with H

The New York lribune this morning says:
"Money Is abundant to stock houses at 5(&G

a contraction in loans, specie, cireulation. and
deposits, with an increase in legal-tenders."
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"There 19 no tailing off in the demand for
money, and with the outward flow of it tor e
change, and its continued active employment
bere. the market ts kept in verv close condition.
Tbe increased receipts of merchants on current
Bales of goods and through collections of old
dues afford the market little If any relief. Ten
per cent, is looked upon as tbe market value of
good customers' paper, and tbey who get accom
modations for less are made to realize that they
are receiving a favor."
