Trie following Is the text of the entire speech Jeltvered by the Pope to the deputies ol 100 Italian cities: ''Thr re upon that pile stand the angel who subdued the (lemons. lie holds a sword re turned to its scabbard, and, in like manner, I announce this day the termination of the pesti lence. (The alluaton is to a tradition that on the cessation of the oiaaue, in the time of Grrjrorv Hie GreHt, the anpel sheathed his word.) Now. aeani, niethnus I pee him re turn the sword to its scH0bnrd, as if in the net of obeying the Divine decrees, lor to-day com mences an era of merry. At the beginning of . this century, on this very day, one of my predecebsors wu dethroned and compelled to fly into exile, Dursued by those same enemies who now, under the pretense of aggrandizing their country, would root out of our hearts our holy faith. On this same day (for it began with their earliet breath) libcratinjr. forces enter this Holy GVy to dispcre the em mirs of God and Hi Church, who in this city, the centre of the Catholic Faith, wlhed to destroy the kintzdom ol Jjsus Christ. Of ill omen to Rome has this day been called. I say tnat the hour of Its triumph has begun. Men iave said that I hate Italy. No, I do not hate her. I have loved her al trays, and have blessed her; I have longed lor herprospeiity, and God knows how I pray for her. Let us pray lor this, I must at present call it, uuhappy nation. That is net unity which is founded on egotism; that unity is not blessed which destroys charity and Justice, which tramples under loot the rights of alt of the ministeis of God, and of good Christians. They have all for their enemies; all stand in array agaiust them; for they have as their enemy God Himself. The hour has dawned, onr triumph cannot fail, and if it be delayed, let us sutler in peace the indictions of Divine justice. I am moved by this demonstration of affection by the sentiments which you have expresbed to me In your own name, and in the names of the hundred cities of Italy, and I declare to you all my gratitude, my tenderness. I bless those who nave presented me this offering, and'their families. I bless you and your families with a special benediction, and if aoy one of them has wandered if a father, a son, or a brother, de ceived by fallacious Ideas, has wandered into the path of error, let this benediction cause him to return to the straight path. May this benediction accomrany you everywhere; may it follow you on your return to your homes; may it accompany you even to your last day. If during your lives you ilnd yourselves abandoned by all, this benediction will never forsake you. I oless thi classic land, fruitful mother of so many saints, which has given to the Church and to heaven so many heroes of sanctity and justice. I pray to God to preserve her in her ancient faith, which forms her greatest glory. Again I bless you and jour families, and be this benediction a pledge t i you of every prosperity. I impart it to you in the name of God, that we may reach tbat blessed eternity in which we shall praise and thank God. Farewell for ever and ever. Fax tt Uenedictio," etc. THE MEXICAN QUESTION. No European Intervention. From the London Owl. No European intervention will take place 1n consequence of the execution ol the Kmperor Maximilian. In the first moment of horror and anger it was proposed, both at Paris and Vienna, to take some immediate steps by way of repri sals; but reflection hasshown tliatsuch a course would be politically unudvisable, as practically it would be useless. IX. Thiers' Speech In the Corps IeglBlatlf. Paris. July 0. In to day's sittineof the Legis lative body i he Mexican question was dis cussed. 11. Thiers said : "The Mex-.cau tipedition has ended without any good results to France. Our compatriots remain exposed to creator losses than ever, our commerce with Mexico is ruined, and the pres tige of our great oess is compromised in America. Even in Europe the Mexican imbroglio has hamoered our attitude towards the great revolu tion accomplished in Germany. The lessou of this unhappy expedition is tbat control and otinosltion are necessary. The Mexican expedi tion was approved by no one in France, but was. nevertheless, undertaken and continued for several years. There are two ways of under standine monarchical government. The first is the rule of a prince with irresponsible minis ters. who merel v execute the orders they receive. The second is a prince governing with responsi ble ministers, who have to suomit their views to him as the head of the Mate, and can, if necemarv. lean uoon a representative assemoiy which is able to oppose tne ministers, both, however, dependent upon put lie opiuion. This is the form ot monarchy towards which we must advauce as speedily as possible in the int ol the government and the country." Perfect silence prevailed in the Chamber during this speech. M. -;rauter de Cassagnac defended the Mexi can expedition. Al. Jules Favre stated that the real idea of the exneriition wan the subversion of the Mexican republic and the establishment of a throne & Mexico, but this intention had been concealed by the Government. The French troops ought to have brought back Maximilian, and thus have saved France Irom the stain ot blood which will rest upon hpr. (Noisy Interruptions.) M. Rouher protested strongly against the words of M. Favre. The British Premier on Maximilian's Execution. In the House of Lords, ou the evening of the 9th instant. Viscount Stratford de Redcliue said Seeing the noble Earl at the head ol tne Gov ernment in his place, I wish to put to him a question of which I hHve given him private notice. I wish to ask my noble lriend wtietber he or the Government have received any olhcial account of the Emperor Maximilian's death, and whether, upon receiving such account, it may be the intention of the Goverunieut to move this House to take any notice of the event, or to condole with her Majesty in circumstances attended with great aillbtton t The Earl of Derbv-I received from my noble friend, within the last half hour, an intimation that he wished to ask me two questions. With regard to the first question, I have to state tbat I received within the last two hours a telegram from Paris which, unhappilv, leaves it no looser a matter of doubt what the fate of Maximilian has bf en. This despatch ba9 been received this day Irom Mr. Fane, at Purls, and Is dated at halt-pant one. It is as follows: FROM MB. VANB. Pabis, Julys d.. P80 P. M.J r., a 80 P.

At the commencement of the sltMnrsnr th Auttrian Belchsratd, on the 5th inst., the PrcsU ocnr, vt. uisxra, rose ana said: The news of vmterdav hiu ilestravixi onr last hope that the grievous apprehensions we have lanorrd under lor some time past, might not be turned into a deplorable certainty.

While all Europe turns awav in abhorrence from that act of bamarlsm. a still deener pain must pierce the breast ot us Austrian at the mult ot that deed of violence. We share with our Imperial master, with his illus trious parents, and with the other members of the imperial house, the sorrow that fills them as this fresh blow of fate alter death has so recently removed another noble being from among them. You. too, gentlemen, will, I am certain, desire to give a solemn expression to your emotion, and I propose that a deputation from this H use should, with the permission of his Majesty the Emperor, wait upon and convey to him as the head of our illustrious reigning family; the erpiecslon ot our most profound and respectful sorrow and sympathy.

(Nlsmtrj) r KANCI8 JOSEPH. Salebonrg, July 3, 1867. LATEST FROM MEXICO. Maximilian's Body to be Delivered ap to the Austrian Legation It la Expected at New Orleans about August 1 Fo reign Consuls not Molested In Mexico. New Orleans, July 21. Late advices from Vera Cruz state that the body of Maximilian will be delivered to the Austrian Legation. The remains of the ex-Emperor are now on their way to Vera Cruz, and will be put on board the Austrian steam frigate Elizabeth, which is due here about the 1st of August. There is no truth in the report that the fo reign Consuls have been molested in Mexico. Secretary Seward's Policy on tho Mexi can Question Non-Iutercourse. I learn to night that it is the policy of Mr. Bewitrd not to tend any Minister to Mexico to represent our Government for the present, and to leave Juareeaud his colleagues severely alone to work nut their own destiny. The object or this in said to be a sort oi retaliatory measure ugaiust the Mexicans for their unceremonious rejection otMr. Seward's petition for the life of Maximilian. This is indirectly doing the same thing as the European Governments, which have resolved to withdraw their ambassadors irom Mexico. Mr. Bewacd hopes by this means to bring the exultant and boastful chieftains of the Liberal party to their senses, by gi vine them an opportunity to find out their dependence on the United mates, and their inability to protect therm-elves without the moral support of this Government. The name of General McClernand, of Illinois, for Minister, was sent to the Senate as a barren compliment, the assurance being that he would not do continued. He was backed by Repre sentative Marshall, of Illinois, but bail not the support of the Senators from his own State, and therefore could not be confirmed in any event, IWsides. his tilt with General Grant about the VieVburg affair made him unpopular with the radical element, a fact which in itself would leave no chauce for his continuation. As for Otterbouig, he was never seriously contem plated, the President having refused, even against Mr. Seward's endorsement, to saddle himself with the weight of sending in the name of that illustrious diplomat for confirmation. When Coneress reassembles tt is probable that the name of Mr. Nugent will be sent in, and probably confirmed. Uutil then the country win go unrepreecntea, as mere is no secretary of Legation, even in Mexico, who can act as Charee o'Affaires during the absence of a regu lar Minister. There is an idea here that Mexico will be the object ot European Interference growing out of the Maximilian affair and the disappearance of the French Ambassador, supposed to have been assassinated. It the French Ambassador is not firoduced, and Maximilian's body not given up, t Is supposed that Austria, France, and Prussia will open Hostilities against Juarez & company. in tbat event Mr. sewara win not intertere on behalf of the United States until the Mexicans discover that, after all, they cannot get along very well without our assistance. And will then only be given, it is said, on the condi tion of the sale of a large slice of Mexican ter ritory to our Government. V. Y. Herald. THE INDIAN WAR.

C, jQly 20, IHtn.to Hon. , Sir: Tne Union Itepublt can Senators and members of tbe Fortieth Con gress assembled on tbe evening of July 15. In the Hall of ltepresenlatives, to bear the report of tbe Union Republican Congressional Execu tive committee witn reierenoe to tue eouiuern reconstruction campaign. Tbe following resolution was adopted: JiKtolved, That we, the Republican (Senators and Representatives of the Fortieth Congress, having lis tened with great Interest to tbe statements of the Chairman of the Executive Committee and others of said committee, therefore pledge our personal efforts In our respective districts to the work of raising money for the nse ot said committee Immediately upon oar return to our constituents. Tne Committee, therefore. In urging tbe Im portance of Immediate and vigorous labor, desires to briefly recapitulate what has been done; the agencies and opportunities now at Its command, and the necessities which require assistance. During the few months that nave elapsed since the Reconstruction acta were passed, this Committee baa been earnestly at work. For tbe first time opportunity offered for discussion In tbe Houth or the principles, purposes, and history of tbe Republican organi zation the party of national progress, po litical Justice, and territorial Integrity. It wns determined to Inaugurate a vigorous and comprehensive agitation of qnestlons connected with these subjects. This purpose has been as tally carried out as tbe means at tbe disposal of tbe Committee would permit. The Com mittee has recesved but 818,250, mainly derived from tbe two Houses of Congress. Tbere la now expected from various sources sums amounting In all to 4,600, which will about cancel obliga tions already incurred. With thin small amout, the Commutes has sent several hun dred thousand suitable documents through the South. It has employed ouer seventy active and Intelligent speakers and organizers, who have been at work In tbe unreconstructed Htates, and to a limited extent In Tennessee. Both white and colored men have been and are now employed. In addition to those directly controlled by the Committee, State Committees, and Union League Councils, with other auxili aries, bave been aided. Under this stimulus, In many localities, funds have been raised tode fray the expenses of local agents, and much work accompllnhed. The Committee has the names of twenty thousand loyal persons at the South to whom documents are regularly sent. To about one fourth of that number large packages are for warded, so that it Is in tbe way of immediate distribution of one hundred thousand or more copies of any document It desires to circulate. This list Is being daily augmented. The Com mittee's correspondence Is very extensive, hundreds of letters being received weekly from all parts of tbe South. From their contents a minute knowledge ot the necessities ot almost every Congressional district is readliy attained. Uf agents now In the field, some are at work in every State. A Republican organization exists In each Stale, the representatives of which are in constant correspondence witn this Committee. Union League Councils are being rapidly formed. Our agents are all empowered and directed to aid the organiza tion, and as the Grand President's oltloe is located la this city, we are enabled to bring about harmony of purpose and effort. Were ample means at tbe committee's disposal there would be no difficulty in widely extending Its operations. Tbe demands made far exceed Its means, present and prospective. A large num ber of intelligent men, white and colored, are rendy to enter tbe field, most of whom could be advantageously employed. Our funds have been altogether devoted to circulating suitable reading matter ana employing speakers ana oiianluers. They will continue to be so used. This committee cannot undertake the esta blishment or supportor Republican newspapers, although tbnt important agenoy demands at tention. When the military bills became law, t.hem were in the South but fifteen Republican Journals, two only of which were dailies. There are now ninety, tweuiy oi wiiiou bio umuw The speediest method of establishing a vigorous Republican press, without wnicn no permanent success can be obtained, Is to give the Republi can party control of the State organizations. This object can be permanently seed red. provided Its importance is appreciated and corresponding efforts are made. The present campaign is but a continuation ot tbe war. It hasv however, assumed another shape. It is no longer the shock of armirs, but tbe conflict of ideas. The thunder of guns no longer rends the sky or makes the earth tremble; but tbe results lor which our best lives were given are still trembling in tbe balance. We contend for the principles fur which we fouuht. We seek rower, because we belle, va In our principles. Thev cannot control unless money, the sinews or any struggle, is used to aid those wbo work for that success. Shall we lose un empire from want or this material aid? Shall we, victorious In the Held, be defeated at tbe ballot-box T It is not possible. Tne needs of tbe hour with those who desire to see the entire Soutn, lately cursed with slavery and blasted by revolution, marching to the music of tbe Union" in the solid column of Republican States, are active work, ample means, and unfaltering latth. Your Committee bave faith and can work efficiently. Means only are lacking to carry each one of tbe unreconstructed States at the elections provided for by Congress. If adequate funds are fur nished, the party can be so organized as to xnKiiro the electoral vole of each reirnnarnt.nil State for the Presidential staudard-beurer of our great party, t ne loyal people or tho South nre verv Door; they are with U4 In everv desira for success, but they need assistance, both of money lor political organization, ana or know ledge, fir the best means of etl'eotlog ii. Slavery crushed the white frlenda of the nation, as well as oppressed its colored allies. The Rebel Hon impoverished thera as well as those who rebelled. Shall be let thera again be sacrificed for want of means to send men to them or to enable them to help themselves? Iu lbe spirit of the foregoing resolution, we ask earnest and Immediate work In obtaining funds. Pressing calls are constantly being made, to many of wnicu wd nuunjr uuHuiu 10 respond. Ill view of the great objects for which we strive, wa assure our friends that 1100 now win ar-.nr n. pllsh far more than tlO.000 will twelve months later.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. TJIBTRICT COURT-Judge Bhsnwood. AOgURt Bnsn, 'irusiee, versus The HI. Nicholas Fire In surance Company or Ktw York, Gustavas Paul, Agent This was an ad Ion on a policy of Insurance gainst Ore npon a houxe and bsrn In Backs county. The bom bad been burned some six months before, and tne loss on It adjusted and paid. Thin action was tor the loss ol the barn. '1 here was not much evidence before tho Jury to Juxtlly the Idea of any fraudulent overvaluation, or any complicity by plalnlltr In the fire, wblch was Tery evidently the work of an Incen diary. In that iPMtiect the verdict of the Jury was perfectly right. Tbere wa a defect of evidence of romblinnoe with tbe conditions of thepollay Firstly, In not giving written notice; secondly. In Dot furnish ing the stnieroeuta, afUdavlta, and other prellmlua y proofs required. Whether there had been a waiver by thedpfWIsnts of compliance with those coud Itlons wan submitted also to the Jury, reserving the question whether there was aoy evidence of snch a waiver. Tbe only testimony which bore upon this point showed that upon receiv ing a verbal notice from the Insured, the Company bad sent an agent to the spot, who made a personal Investigation or the circumstances, examined a builder wbo bad constructed It, and the books of parties In tbe neighborhood wbo bad furnished mate rials. Tnls agent was himself examined on the part of the defendants, and stated that be bad told tbe f arty Interested that he must seud bis proors to the ompsrjy; It would have been more satisfactory If ha bad explained to this person who was an unlettered (lerman wbat be meant, and refered blm to the "printed conditions." This witness was contradicted by others, and the Jury may bave dlscrdltd him, and upon this reserved point we must avtume tbat they did. We .are presented, therefore, by the plaintiff with tbe case of tbe appointment of an agent by the defendants, and au Investigation by blm, and upon the authorities, we are compelled to say tbat this does not amount to a waiver or preliminary proofs.

It was beld that where tbe by-laws ol a Mutual Insurance Company required immediate notice of loss to be given to the Company, that a notice eleven days after the fire occurred was too late, snd tli a the fact that an Agent of the Company after wards made examinations respecting the loss was not a waiver. In Lyonmlng County Insurance Company vs. TJpdegrafT, 4 Wright, 813, tbe circumstances that tbe President of tbe Company had made an examina tion of the books of tbe plaintiff was not allowed to be any evidence of a waiver. It Is true tbat there were other circumstances which went to negative tbe wnlver. but the decision below was reversed because tbe question bad been submitted to the Jury. Pad It been shown that upon demand of payment the defendants bad put their refusal upon their grounds the grounds whlcb were taken at tbe trial It inlicht bave been different, but there was no evi dence to that effect. Tbe Company bave aright to require the fuluiuient of the printed terms, which form an Important part of thecontrnct, and are con ditions precedent to any right of action by the In sured. They may Institute an Investigation into the circumstances of the loss, for tbe very purpose ot ascertaining whether It Is a case In which they ought morally te waive the conditions, and perhaps if they bad been perfectly sat Isrled. as tbe Jury were, of the honesty of the plalntiUs claim, they ought not to bave Insisted on this oblectlon in the present In stance; but that Is a matter which Is entirely within the forum of conscience. We may regret tbat tne filaintirr has, by his Ignorance or neglect,' lost his udemnily. for wblcb be bad paid his premium, but we are bound to see tbat Justice is administered ac cording to law. Rule discharged, and Judgment for defendant on the reserved point. OURT OF QUARTER SE8SI0N8. -Judge Pe'rce. William U. Maun, lilstrict Attorney. Joseph Blerly wan charged with assault and battery upon Kosanna McKlnny. The prosecutrix testified that she took some children one day to Mount MorlaU Cemetery, ana while she was tbere she saw the delendant riding a horse about over the graves, bhe told him not to run over tbe little children that were playing there, and he turned bis bead and chased her. A gentle man soon came up to her relief, and arrested tbe de fendant. An assault being an attempt to commit violence npon person, and battery being the actual commission of violence, tbe Jury rendered a verdict ot guilty of assault. Edward McStlnger was charged with assault and battery upon Anna Wolnian. Mrs. Woiman testllied tbat one evening about three weeks ago, In the neigh borhood of Ninth and Poplar streets, she saw the de fendant and some other boys on ruing towards hen she feared no harm at the time and started on. but as soon as tbe boys came up to her they threw lime In ber face, Injuring her very much; she did not sea tbe delendant throw the lime, but saw him with tbe other boys. The defense produced testimony to prove that the defendant bad nothing to do whatever with this out rage, be not being there at tbe time, and that what other boys threw at tne lady was fleur, not lime. Ver dict not guilty. John MoCulla was aoqnitled of a charge of selling diseased flesh, knowing the same to be diseased and unwholesome. The bill wan submitted without evi dence. The District Attorney said to the Jury that It was an Indictable offense to sell and expose for sale diseased lie b to be eaten; but that In this case the evidence could not make out a case within tbe mean ing of tl.e statute, since the bogs, tbe flesh in question, were so d alive, and the law wai only In reference to to the flesh ot animals deed, John tcblckle was charged with assault and battery upon Louis Bran. The evidence Mas that the defend ant and prosecutor engaged In a quarrel about the right each one had to a swing at a beer-garden, and tbe proi-ecutor himself assaulted the defendant. The defendant endeavored to strike tne prosecutor, after being Btruck himself, but was prevented by the by standers. Verdlut not guilty. Jobn and Bridget flavin were charged with assault and battery upon Jobn B. McBride and Polluetnau bamnel Tucker. McBride testified tbat he went to the bouse In the rear of No. 1321 Lancaster street, with a warraul fur the arrest ot the father of the defendants; aa soon an be enteied tbe bouse, Mr. Ulavln, for whom he had the warrant, ran op stairs: be started after him, and the defendants, the son and daughter, seized him, and strucK him in order to prevent him irom going up. Hamuel Tuoker. a policeman, testified that he went theie to assist McBride. and was also attacked by tho defendants. Tbe defense alleged that a most brutal attack was made upon tbe defendants bv theorDuert, Pollcomau Tucker striking the poor girl ou the bead with a tilllv, and alHO breaking one of ber ribs with the same weapon. Tbe policeman deellued to answer, upon tba griiuud of self-crimination, when asked ir these things were trup. The father of the delendant was their only witness: and upon "his testimony alone, without argument by counsel, tbe Jury rendered a verdlut of not guilty. I1NANVE AND COMMERCE.
