Tbe French Legislative body met Jane 22, M. Schneider In the chair. Toe order of the day iu the adjourned discussion on the bill relative to tbe supplementary credits of 1866. The de bute turned altogether on matters connected with Mexico. M. Berrver demanded explanations on three points: First, the account relative to the nego tiation oi tbe part of tbe Mexican bonds attri buted to the French treasury under the title of reimbursement; next, concerning the indemni ties allowed to French subjects residing; in Mexico; and lastly, touching the diplomatic documents. . M. Bouher, Minister of State, replied that the indemnity existed, and that its distribution was being eUected without privilege or lavor by an arbitral commission. As to the diplomatic docu ment?, tbe Government would havo no objection wbatever to communicate them wben tbe fitting moment arrived; at present to do so would be attended with decided Inconvenience. . M. Beiryerthen reproached the Government with bavins; consented to a loss of 23,000,000 In freetDg from their engagements the bankers who had undertaken to place out the Mexican loan; bonds bad been riven them at S00f., watch they had issued at 340t., or with . 20,000,000 of profit; why then give them a quittance when the operation turned out so badly f Tbe Minister declared that tbe circumstances had been such as to involve the annulation of tbe contract from the necessity of rhe case. M. Picard said that there were some docu ments, connected with the. Mexican question which were of great importance, and he must request their production. The treaty entered into with the concessionaries ot Mexican bonds had been promised to tbe Chamber, and he hoped ; that the communications which had passed between the French Government and its agents in Mexico would also be given. There were likewise other documents of capital im portance which he had to ask for; those, for in stance, containing tbe complaints and demands of French creditors of Mexico, whose grievances, it had been said, had rendered the expedition a matter of necessity. He desired, too, to know whether the Jecker bonds bad been paid; whe ther a sum of a million ot piastres yearly had not been allowed for the reimbursement ot that debt; and whether tbe agents ot the French Gov ernment in Mexico bad not intervened lu the regulation of that affair. ' M. Rouber I am ready to communicate to the Chamber the text of the convention between the concessionaries of Mexican bonds and the Minister- of Finance, and also the correspondence between M. Pinard, Director of the Comptolr d'Escompte. and that Minister, under date of September 28, 1865, before tbe convention was sisned.

These three documents answer, I think, tbe firet question of M. Picard. That gentleman has tint two others -one concerning tue in' deninities due to Frenchmen, and the other to the Jecker at) air. 1 reply that the documents containing tbe claims ot Frenchmen are at tue Mlnlstrv of Forei'-n Afaus. I do not imagine that the Legislative body requires tbem to be deposited in its arrbivee, or (a have then printed. (No, no.) The total amount of the claims is one hundred and fifty millions, Tbe Mexican Corutnlton had admitted, forty six millions. The whole of the operations are at this moment under tbe consideration ot the Superior Comralhsiou sitting at Paris. Buch Is the sta e of tbe question. The Chamber will admit that it is impossible to enter into tbe details of three or lour hundred reclama iw (Marks of adhesion.) On the third point alluded to by M. Picard, I feel bound to ,oVp a remark. A deoutv speaks, declares he docs not wlh to dUcuss, and yet in the teeth of that albrmatlon ne seiecw an oav anu nour, ana holds a language wu u nij ut ,c -oMn eripot. The nhrase the Jecker debt, which has given fise to so maux calumnies, Is v.i-inre the Chamber. I cannot help Brotesitng against what there is painful in that recollection. Tbe French Government was an absolute stranger to the Jecker aflalri it only i. i..j in nrHr ti Drotest against all privi- i nent. and it did bo io effectually that the contract was stopped in its execution. As to ue origins xacve, i aw .v v tantlv if the Chamber wishes it. (No. no.) I therefore ask M. Picard not to dious It inci dentally, since he announced that be did sot intend to arsme tne question at present. (Hear.) H. Cilais Uizotn the Honorable Minister of State should not show too much susceptibility when the recollection of the Jecker bonds Is evoked. One tact is incontestable, and that is, that tbe convention of Soledad was broken on precisely the occasion of that debt. (Exclama tions.) .;-',!''..' , f .. , M. Rouher Yes, the Jecker claim was men tioned at the time of the discussion of the con vention of Soledad; that debt became, In fact, a cause of considerable difficulties for Frenchmen. Tbe Jecker bonds were emitted with the condi tion that they should be accepted by tho Mexi can Government In payment of the customs duties in the ports of Vera Cruz and Tampico. A great number of French merchants were holders of them. At that moment President Juarez, succeeding Mlramon, decided that tbey should be no longer received by the custom-house; and that declaration caused great losses to the possessors. Besides, the firm of Jecker, which was an important one. was deoositarv ot tha lunds of a society of mutual assistance esta blished amontt Frenchmen residing in Mexico. By the suspension of payment that deposit was compromised. Under these conditions .it was that In July, 18G1, M. Dubois de Saligny ear nestly protested against what had been done,' and in consequence of these facts an examlna- ion or tne complaints or tne 1 Frenchmen was instituted In 1862, and demand made that the Jecker bonds should be again received in pay ment of the customs dutle. Such is the war in which thero was a question of those binds in tbe Convention o' Soledad. (Hear.) M. Haenticns I should wish to know If the Government intends to let the session cloe without m akin a kcown its intentions relative to the boldera of Mexican bonds f (Varioua move ments.) M. itouher l Dee tbe Legislative ooay ana Ai. Haentiensto permit me to leave that Question unanswered, bo as not to give rise to diverse Interpretations out of doors. (Hear, hear.) After some further observations on the expenses incurred by tbe Mexican expedition, tbe bill on tbe supplementary credits . was adopted by 228 votes to 13, THE BCIILESWIG QUESTION. ' ' ; Progress of tha Dam o-Prussian aregotlaa tioni-FrsBu in complete synipathy with tbe Danes The DaaUai ot Copenhagen, in Its French review, says that the guarantees demanded by rTiissta lor tne uerman lnnaoitants ot JNortn Kchleswig form only a subordinate part of the question. The negotiations in reality turn upon the recovery of Alsen and DuppeL Tbe writer points out that the Danish Government could not possibly withdraw behind the national lines so pialnlv marked by the elections to the North uerman parliament. . The Hchleswig Danes, says the Daoolad, would prefer the common lot of slavery until the great day ol liberation should dawn.. . i The Paris Patrie- savsl that, although the 8chleswlg question may have become wearisome to the Publlo. vet the Danes will command the eiitire sympathy of the French people. THE ROMAN QUESTION. , . Garibaldi on tbe Situation and Priest ' i . Uood. General Garibaldi, on receipt from the Stu dents' Coramitteo of Bologna of his appoint ment as honorary member, returned the iollow injrieply: Kome, tne slave or tyranny, as you say, ana polluted bv the embraces ol the priest, knows well that I shall not fail in my tank. An old remnant of Mount Janiculus, in that city, I desire above all to return mere and to snare tn the deliverance of that sanctuary of Italian glories. And you, generous youths, you will be present also at the decisive banquet of redemp tion, trom wnicn not a single Italian must be mlsping, since the question to be dealt with is one of liberty or of slavery for the whole of Italy.

The Guernsey Star publishes the appeal which Victor Hugo addressed In vain to the President of the Mexican Republio on behalf of the Em peror Maximilian. M. Hugo says: "Europe, in 1863, fell upon America. Two monarchies attacked your democracy; one with a prince, the other with an army tbe army bringing in the Prince. Tbe world then beheld this spectacle an army, the most warlike of Europe, having as its base a fleet as powerful on the sea aB the army itself on land, having for its sustenance tbe whole revenue ot France, and well commanded, victorious in Africa, iu tbe Crimea, in Italy, in China, bravely fanatic of Its Aug, having a profusion of hordes, artil lery, provisions, munitions, formidable. On (be other hand, Juarez. On one Bide two em pires, on the other a man a man, with a hand ful of other men. A man hunted from city to city, from hamlet to bamlet, from forest to lorest, aimed at by the iniamoua volleys of councils of war, tracked, hiding in dens of the earth. . like a wild beat, wandering in the wilderness, with a price fixed upon his head, having for generals a lew men of de?perte fortunes, and for soldiers a few tattered wretches. Without money, without bread, without powder, without cau non, with the bush only lor a stronghold. Here UBurpation styled legitimacy there right Btyled brigandage, usurpation with helmet on his bead, saluted by bishops, aud with Imperial sword in band, pushing be I ore It, and drawing alter it all the legions of power; Bight stood alone and unarmed. You the embodiment of Right you accepted the eombat. Tho battle of One against All lasted three years. Wanting men, you made use of things. The terrible climate aided you; jou hud j our sun for your ally. You had defenders tn the Impassable lakes, and torrents swarming with alligators, tbe marshes teeming with fevers, the deadly vegeta tion, the Bomo prleto of torrid lands, tbe salt deserts, tbe vast unwatered arid sands, where hortes die of thirst, and tbe wide aud frowning filateau of Anabuac, which is impregnablo from U nudity. Like Castile, tho plains contain gulfs ever trembling with the shocks of volca noes from the Coluua to Novada de Toluca; you called to your help the natural barrier, the lolty walla of basalt, the colosbal rocks of Younave foueht a war of giants, hurling mountains at your foes. And there came a day after five years of smoke, of dust, of blindness, when tbe cloud was dispersed, aud there were seen two empires prostrate on the earth. No more monarchy, no more armies nothing but the enormity of the usurpation la ruins maa Juarez, standing erect, and by tbe side ot that man Liberty. . i "Let the world behold this prodigious thing; the Republic boblt in its power its assassin an Emperor. Whec about to crush him, it per reives tbat be Is a man, it lets him go, and says to hlro: 'Yon are of tbe people, like the others depart.' This, Juarez, will be your second victory. The first, that over ' usurpation, was glorious; the second, to spare tbe usurper, will be sublime. Yes, show to those kings whoso prkons are crowded, wboe scaffolds are ln crustcd with blood to those klnts of gib bets, of exiles, oi Presidio, of ; Siberia to those who have a Poland, to ,tboe who have an Ireland, to those who have Havana, to those who have Crete to those Princes who are obeyed by Judges to those judges who are obeyed by executioners to those executioners who are obeyed by death to thope Emperors who so lightly cause men to be beheaded show there how an Emperor's head is spared I High over all the monarchical codes from whence lall drops of blood, spread out the law ot light, and in the centre of the holiest page of tbe Supreme Book let there be seen tbe finger of tbe Brpubllo fixed on the commandment of God Tbou sbalt not kill.' These four words contain your duty. You will do that duty. The usurper shall be saved, but the liberator, alas I could not be saved. Eight years ago, on tbe 2d of December, 1859, exerci sing a common right, I raised my voice, in the name ct democracy, and I asked from the United States the life of John Brown. -I could not obtain It. To-day I ak of Mexico the life of Maximilian; shall I obtain it f Yes, perhaps at this very moment it Is already granted. Maxi millan will owe hla life to Juarez.; But It may be said, what is the punlhment? This is tbe punishment Maximilian, live 'by the mercy of the Republic.'" - i '- ; i !

(, Female Pickpockets at Saratoga. Saratoga, July 8. Two female pickpockets were arrested yesterday by Detective Case in Dr. Woodbridpe's Presbyterian church, during morning Bervice, af'er they had secured two porte-monnaies. These accomplished young ladies arrived here on Saturday last, and regis tered at the Clarendon Hotel as Mrs. Elrlch and Mrs. Stewart, of New Orleans. The same morn inpr they relieved a lady, while shopping, of her eDilre pocket and contents, including thirty dollars In greenbacks. Tbe matter was given to Officer J. Case, an expert detective, who on Sun day morning arrested them in church, and re covered the money. They were examined to day and held to answer. One is rather autumnal, the other young and interesting, and both the pictures of injured innocence. The Clarendon is certainly an unpleasant place for pickpock ets, Detective Case being quartered there. Affairs la Charleston. Charleston, July 6.
