"VI art of tli Quaker City Excursionist totlie Cxar of Russia Imperial Ilecep ticn and Royal Attentions Address of . tls American Travellers. Yalta, Kussia, Aug. 27. The American excur sionists in the meanier Quaker City visited the Emperor of Kusida in a body, at his summer palace, three miles from here, yesterday, aud were received with a cordia ity and freedom from ceremony uuusual to royalty as seen by freemen, huseltin oflicers remarked that no delegation from Europe would have been re ceived so heartily. The Czar, the Empress, the Grand Duchess Marie, their young daughter aud a Grand Duke, their Utile eon, received the party, and the Ame rican Consul read a brief address, which bad been prepared by the passengers. A number of preat dignitaries of the empire were present. After, halt an hour's conversa tion, the imperial family, with the Czar at their bead, conducted the whole party throughout the palace, and afterwards, by invitation, they visited the palace of the Crown Prince of BuBsia. An invitation arrived from the Grand Duke Michel, and the campany repaired to his palace, where they took luncheon with the Grand Duke and bis family. While this was transpiring the Emperor and his family came along, the ladies Id a carriage and the Czar on horseback. The whole ship's company were the guests of tbe impeiial household the greater part of an afternoon, and were as contented as if they were In their own houses. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Giand Duke and his family were profuse in pleasant asseverations of friend ship for America and the Americans, and said they would all visit the ships to-day tf the sea were smooth, bnt unfortunately It was very rough, and tbe opportunity of entertaining them is lost to tbe excursionists. However, the travellers have been visited by the Governor General and family, Count Festetic, and Prince Palgorouki, of the imperial household, the Grand Admiral, General Todtleben, Baron Wrangel, and many other distinguished per sonages, and the day has been like a fete. The following Is a copy of tbe address pre sented by the passengers: To bis Imperial Hlghuess Alexander II, Emperor of RuRula: 'We are a handful of private citizens of America, travelling simply lor recreation, and unostenta t iously, as becomes oar unolliclal state, and, therefore, we bave no excuse to tender for presenting ou-selves before your Majesty, save the desire of offering our trait ful acknowledgments to tbe lord ef a realm which. tbrouKb good and through evil report, lias been tbe steadfast friend of tbe land we love so well. We oould not presume to take a utep like ttis, did we not know that tbe words we speak here and tbe sentiments wherewith they are freighted, are but tbe reflex of the iboughts and tbe feelings ot all our countiymen from ibe green bills ot New Englaud to the shores of the far Pacittc. We are lew in number, b it we utter the voice o' a nation. One ol tne brightest pages which has graced the world's history Muce written history had Its birth, was recorded by your Majesty's hand wben It loosed tbe bonds of tweuty millions of men, and Americans can but esteem It a privilege to do honor to a ruler who has wrought so great a deed, America owes much to Biissta is Indebted to her In many ways-and chiefly for unwavering friendship In seasons of our greatest nerd. That that friendship may still be hers In times to come we confidently pray; that she is and will be grateful to Russia and her sovereign for it we know full well; that she will ever fortell it by any premeditated unjust act or un- t.

Circular of the Slarquls de BXoustler on tbe Salzburg Conference. The following is tbe circular of M. Moustier to the French diplomatic agents in regard to the meeting of tbe Emperors of France and Austria at Salzbure. already noticed in the cable des patches. The Marquis writes: In going to Balzburg the Emperor and tbe Empress were guided by a sentiment which public opinion could not mistake: and I should refrain from writing to you now of the Interview between the two sovereigns, bad it not lormed the subject of Interpre tations which tend to distort the character It pos sessed. The Journey of their Majesties was solely dic tated by the Idea of Gearing an ail'eci innate testimony of sympathy to tbe Imperial family of Austria, so cruelly aillloled by a recent mistorliie. Certainly the JbeatlS or two greafc euiiuon uuuiu uu, wo .vkuc. In confidlrjg intimacy for several days without mutually communicating to one anotber their impressions aud exchanging ideas en ques tions of general Interest; but neither - the object nor the result of their Interviews was the for mation of combinations which there Is nothlag In the present state of Europe to Justify. You remember the language of the Government to the Hiuperor each time that It has had occasion to explain Itself respect ing tbe state ot things created by the military events ot last summer. Our attitude was defined, first In the circular or the 16tn (September last: again later, by the language ot bis Majesty the Emperor at tbe opening ol the fee n ate and legislative hotly; and lastly, by the epee-heg of the Minister of btate during the Parlia mentary debates of last session, we have not ceased to show ourselves In all our actions faithful to the Intentions which we bave Irom tbe first manifested In presence ot the changes that have taken place In At a recent conjuncture we bave seen the Cabinets of Europe do JiiBtlce lo the straightfoi warduess of our policy and lend their concurrence to our ideas of paci fication. What then occurred was a guarantee lor the support which, In case of need. Ideas of modera tion would again receive from them. Tbo Interviews ot t' e Emperor Napoleon with the Emperor Francis Joseph could not, therefore, have the character attributed to them by certain Journalists. Long be fore uiettlug at balzburg, the twosoverelgns had both attested by their acts and by the pacific sentiments which guide them, that their Governments united could not form any other design than that of perse vering In the same line of conduct an hitherto. Their conversation on general affairs was 1 nil ted to this assurance, wnich was mutually given; thus, far from considering the Halzuurg Interview as a subject for preoccupation and auxiety to other courts, we should see In It only a fresh motive lor confidence in the pieseivatluu of peace. ... I desire to let you know my opinion upon publica tions of winch the object Is to create a contrary Im pression. You may adopt these considerations In erder to correct the erroneous views on the subject which may prevallamong you. MOUSTIEU. THE WAIt ASrECT. French Traders and Financiers Not Assured by French Diplomacy. Tbe Paris correspondent of the London Times vPxl'- "No busiuess at the Bourse, but plenty of thassepot rifles in store. Thus may be summed up the present state of alTalrs here. Wot only on the Paris Bourse, but throughout France, very little business is doing, for confi dence seems goue and credit dead. It is the natural consequence of a nation's des tlnies resting entirely in the hands of one man, that his smallest word excites alarm, and bis most candid utterances find but heaitating acceptance. The present feelins- is one of mistrust and apprehension as to the future, and the pursuits of peace naturally suffer for it. The prevailing opinion undeniably is that next year will bring war. Whether or not it is predestined to do so, the belief alone suf. Dees to work incalculable mischief. The state tot chronic apprehension and restricted credit seems of late to have spread from France to other nation, and all Europe suffers for It. The .Emperor's speeches, even the moat pacific of eventualities, "Hesides the accelerated manufacture of the new rifle, which it may be urged is not unnatu ral when once the adoption of that weapon has been decided upon, other preparations of a more significant nature are being made." The J,ondon Times editorially remarks that in France the danger alleged from the formation of a strong German State on the Rhine constitutes a good party cry against the Imperial Govern ment, and regrets that the cry is met with ap parent assent rather than with open defiance. The bolder would probably be the safer course; but the first condition of true peace is disarma ment, and a decree for the dismissal of soldiers is worth any amount of speeches and notes. TUE J. T. FORD. The Miniature Schooner Ashore on the Irish Coast Additional Keports of the Disaster The Property Saved. Wexjord (Sept. 6) Correspondence of Dublin Free' marvt Journal. Tbe adventurous little craft, the John T. Ford, from Baltimore to Paris via Havre, came ashore at Tacunishane, on the southern coast of this county, this morning, and it Is satisfactory to have to state that her papers, which were en veloped in a tin case, remain uninjured. The vessel, notwithstanding the great knocking about to which she has evidently been subjected, still retains one mast standing, and her hull is holding firmly together. This tiny craft Is only two and a quarter tons burthen. Her measure ment is 24-45 feet in length, 7'40 in breadth, and 2-45 In depth. She was rigged as a schooner, had a f-barp st?m and figure head. The names of the crew, as returned in her papers, are J. Stanley, first officer, B. IX Riddel), snpercargo, and Edward Murphy, seaman. The Master's name was Charles W. Gould. The name of Andrew Armstrong, who is the only survivor, does not appear in the ship's papers, as it appears he did not belong to the original crew, but was taken in at Halifax, where she put in for water in July last, when one of ber tanks became damaged. One of the crew prudently left her at Halifax, aud Arm strong, who is a fibherman, was engaged as a substitute. She cleared from Baltimore on June 22, and from Halifax on July 16. ner cargo consisted of one box of mattencl bitters, 16 bottles. The following note, written in Ink on a piece of ruled paper, was picked up this morning by Richard McBride, west of the Forlorn Point, about ten miles westward of where the vessel came ashore: Fridav. August 23. 18G7. Andrew Armstronu whs taken oil the wreck of the John T. Ford, and has gone to Bombay in the Aerolite. H. E. Alleyne. Old Head, Kinsale, N.NW., 89 miles. The letter floated ashore in a bottle. The tin case which contained the ship's papers, in closed also several letters from officers on board her Majesty's ship Royal Alfred, lying at Halifax, and some photographs. They are thoroughly wet, but are, notwithstanding, in excellent pre rervation. William Coghlan, Eq., Collector of Customs and Receiver of Wreck, .lias taken charge of all the documents. Jasper Walsh, Esq., agent for Lloyds, has claimed the vet-Bel for the American Government, in his capacity of American Consul. NAPOLEON II. The Remains of the Duke of Relchstadt to be Brought to Paris. From the London Timet, Sept, 8. The Parisian public may soon look forward to a new but harmless excitement The remains ot Na poleon 11 are, it Is stateu. to be removed from their various resilng places at Vienna, and laid lu the Dwly rvatoreu vauli. or tbe Abboy of ts. i,nta. Tin deputation on whom will devolve the duty of convey ing them lias already been appointed, and consists of Marshal Kegnauli de fct. Jeau d' Angely, the Duke of Bassluo, M. de Cambaceres, and (ieueral Fleury. Mar shal Vaillant la busy with tbe programme ot the luue- few ot our readers require to be told who was the Imperial Prince who was born King of Home and died Duke ol ReichsUdt. The former title was by the First Napoleon bemowed on his Infant sou by his second Empress, Maria Louisa of Austria, an ouly child, on whom centred all the Emperor's hopes for ii, o ,iiiritttinn or his Dower and the perpetuation of bis dynasty In his own direct line. That son and heir was taken from bis father and from France at tbe time of the great catastrophe ot the First Empire, and lived In a strict, though gentle and honorable, captivity at the Austrian Court, where bis maternal grandfather, the Emperor Francis, to wean the boy lrom the recollections ot his former state, dl-alnguisbed him by the German title which be bore till his death, and under which be Is gene rally known In contemporary history. Between tbe dowutall of the Imperial rtiitme and the restora tion of the old Bourbon sovereigns there was a very brief and trouoled Interval, during which by virtue of tbe Emperor's abdication In behalf of his son, the latter, then only three years old, may perhaps be said to have nominally reigned ovf r France as Napoleon II. Political Interests are apt to tamper strangely with stubborn chi onological facts. The old class books on French history, as placed In schoolboys' bBnds, interposed between the execution of Louis XVI and the accession or Louis XV11I, me reign ol a Louis XVII. As the Legitimists would thus have bad us lgn re tbe Republic aud the Empire, It was natural that Louis Napoleon, as the champion of Bonapaitism, should, by an analogous disregard of dates, tklp over the restoration, the July monarchy, and the second repuunc. anu assume tne assigna tion ol a third Napoleon, thus giving color and sub stance to that mere shadow of a Napoleon II. Inde pendently ot the earnest veneration and affection with which the present Emperor looks upon every thing connected with the herolo founder of his dy nasty, aud Independently of his anxiety to establish Identity, and almost continuity, between the uncle and the nephew, there Is no doubt be was prompted in wis mailer oy a aesire to impress tne imagina tive, yet, aB It were, STUibollc nature of tbe French people. To Inspire them with faith In a Third Napoleon, he thinks It expedient to make the Second visible aud tangible to them. A King ot Borne, transformed Into a Duke of ltoichsladt. might have been little more than a myth In their eyes so long as bis body was distributed among the Imperial burial plaets of the Austrian family at Vienna. But those remains, conveyed to Frauce with great pomp, and placed In the abode of French departed royalty, are something that speaks to the senses, bringing the Idea, not only of a Uecond, but also of a Third, and eventually or a Fourth Napoleon, Into a vague yet material association with that long series of ilenries aud Louises, loyalty to whom, for a long course of centuries, lay at the bottom of a French man's religion. By the restoration of his cousin lo his proper place among the dead, Napoleon III hopes to acquire, so to say, fresh titles to his own place amoug tbelivlng. 3 The conveyance of the body ot the Duke of Relch stadt to the Abbey of HI. Denis cannot by any eil'ort be magnified Into so great an event as tbe voyage of the ashes of hlB lather from tat. Helena. It remains to be seen whether It will prove more benellclal. As a general rule, a dead body had better rest where It was first laid. Every grave aud every tombstone is a page I u history: and their removal Is not less a per version ol what Is true than a profanation ot what Is holy. However empty the burial ground at Long wood may be, the Ureal Napoleon did not tbe less die a vanquished, broken-beailed captive at Hi. He lena. The soil ary tomb In mid-ocean spotce far more forcibly to the hearts ol Its visitors, and to tbe imagination of Its distant worshippers, thau the su perb dome under wblcu the graulle Collin Is made a niercenaiy show to the multitude. For the same reasons It Is. perhaps, to be regretled that tbe km- Eeror of the Freuch did not think a mere cenotaph of is cousin Beichstadt might auswer his pious or his political purposes as well as a sarcophagus. All the glory of a funeral progress, all the splendor of an imperial mausoleua , will not do away with the cruel fact that from bis fourth to bis twenty-first year tbe unhappy youth pined away a prisoner In the midst ot strangers, who, however full of tender cares for him self, bad been Instrumental In bis father's do srutall, and. almost unawares, visited upon hlui tbe terror with which bis father's name bad so loug Inspired them. It will be dlllicult for the most sauguiue, eluht-lovlng Frenchman to attend the pomp aud uas-eautry of the funeral solemnity without cou lurliig up the linage of that pale, suffering martyr to an Inexorable reason of stale, and without being iruekwilb the painful contrast. Whatever bright it!iiiei may have shone on the cradle of him whom the French poet sailed "he W Vhomme," the world s iympaihlei are associated with his death bed, and cannot easily be transferred from place to place, ,.i,r: that man's, caprice or calculation may suggest. It seems to be. however, a fixed Idea with the Enmeror Napoleon that the trench people, hie the Bomans of old, must b. supplied wflh the perpetual stimulus 01 """ins "-; or this melancholy ciirOv will certainly give the Parisians something to think of or to talk about, This, without going any further into the Emperor s secrets, may have been bis primary object, and this may polUy also turn out to have been the main, if not ouiie ike only, practical result of tbe visit to feaUburg. " WHISKY FRAUDS IN BUFFALO. A New Method of Placing Illicit Whisky on the Market Ilenvy Shipments to Boston from Buffalo Leading Citizens of the Former Place Implicated High Officials Suspected. Buffalo, Sept. 17. During the past three months (special ngentL, Hnwley.of Hie Intern il Kevenue Department, at the instance of Gene ral A. Rout, Collector of this district, has been investigating the manner in which whisky is shipped from Buffalo to New York and Boston. The shipment In generally made in bond, tne bonds being cancelled by the Collector for the District In whlcli the shipment Is made, on being notified by the Collector of the District In which it has been received that the whisky Is stored in a United Btates bonded ward house, the Collector, Inspector, and United Btates bonded warehouse keeper signing tbe receipt. General Koot, the Collector, having been in forinetl that whisky was selling in Boston and Kew York at a figure below tne Government tax, Immediately notified the Internal Kevenue Department of tbe above facts. There has been during the past year, on an average, three hundred barrels of whisky p hipped from this city to Boston weekly and de livered In that city, the Collector of Boston cer tifying that tne whisky was received and stored in a United Btates bonded warehouse. Col lector Boot, becoming emspicioun, despatched a special agent to Boston to make up the ease, who reports that the Collector of Boston has been absent for some time, and that the ro celpts forwarded to this city from Boston are pronounced forgeries by the deputy col lector, while the inspector states that he never signed the receipts. Tne agent, on inquiring, learned that there were eight thou sand barrels of whisky shipped from Buffalo to Boston that could not be accounted for, and that it was not stored In a bonded warehouse, bs required by law; also that the railroad which transported tbe whisky bad delivered It to cartmeu, who claimed It for the firm of Post A Jones, liquor merchants, and who neglected to take a receipt. On the agent Inquiring for Post & Jones be was Informed that there was no such a firm in Boston. He then telegraphed to Collector Koot. who placed the matter In the hands of the United Btates District Attorney liyde.of Boston. Collector Hoot, on receiving the agent's report, seized 0000 barrels of whisky and 2000 bushels of corn belonging to John F. Perry, the only shipper of whisky in this district. A letter was received to-day lrom the District Attorney in Boston, in which he states that he has arrested six prominent citi zens lor being implicated, besides havlug re covered three huudred barrels of whisky. I have been permitted to examine the receipts Which are claimed by the internal revenue offi cers of BostQji to be forgeries. They are signed and sealed by Collector W. H. McCarty, Assessor William J. King, and United States Inspec tor C. Howe; and if forgeries, are decidedly good ones. From the facts which I have gathered, I am Inclined to believe that the bonds were signed and sealed by a leading official in the Internal Kevenue office in Boston. An Illicit Distillery in Ohio Two Hun dred Feet Under Uronud. Cincinnati, Sept. 17. In a coal mine at Petersburg. Mahoning county, Ohio, John Eckert has been running u distillery for the past eight months without paying the revenue tax. The concern was two hundred feet under ground, but an officer found and seized ft on Saturday. Melancholy Suicide of dlan. av Young Cans. The suicidal mania seems to be on the in crease, and we have another instance of the fact to record to-day. About 10 o'clock last nisut Arthur Mowbray, a native of Canada, twenty two yeais of age, and residing at No. 91 Clinton lace, returned home from a visit to Kelly & .eon's minstrel performance, at No. 720 Broad way. There he had gone with some of the lemale members of the family, and another prantlatnan. Having but Jufat returned lrom an extended visit to his relatives In Prummondville, Canada West, Mr. Mowbray seemed to be in excellent spirits, and in no mood for a sudden entry into the other world. A few minutes after reaching his boarding-house the misguided young man re tired to his room, whence issued the report ol a pistol scarce ten minutes later, when it was ascertained that he had 'shot himself through the heart, death ensuing in a few seconds. When our reporter visited the house at mid night, he found the deceased in a third story bed room, occupied by him while living. The body was lying in bed just as he was found by those entering the room alter the shot was fired. De ceased had evidently partially undressed him self, removed his watch and money from his pockets aud laid them on the bureau, hanging up the clothing he had removed. Having thrown himself on the bed, Mowbray had placed the muzzle of a large-sized Sharpe's revolver over his heart and soon sent tbe fatal bullet through that organ. None of his friends could give any reasonable motive for the commission ot the rash act. though they stated that he had frequently acted in a strange manner, having alarmed the family by firing his revolver one night at a fancied bur glar. Their theory is that he was temporarily deranged at the time, induced by over excite ment. The inquest to day will no doubt elicit the real facts. The deceased was employed by one of the ocean steamship lines in this city, and was highly respected. N. Y. Times. national Tobacco Convention. Cleveland, Sept. 17. Pursuant to call a National Convention of Tobacco Manufacturers convened at Brainard's Hall in this city, at 10 A. M. to-day. Delegates were present from all the principal cities of the Onion, North aud South, representing a capital of fifty millions dollars invested in the tobacco trade. At the afternoon session the committee appointed to report business for the consideration of the Con vention submitted the following: Mimlved, That the tax be reduced to ten per cent, per pound on all kinds of munulactured tobacco, cigars excepted. Jii toived. That In lieu of Inspection and assessment we recommend Government stamps to b" paid for before using, and to be so placed on each package as to preclude their second use. The first resolution was adopted after con siderable discussion, in which the policy of esta blishing a uniform tax was fully canvassed. The Convention appointed an executive com mittee entrusted with the duty of preparing a memorial to Congress, setting forthjthe views of the Convention in regard to the proposed change In the tax, and also several committees of a chaiacter, when an adjournment was had till to morrow morniug. Large Fire In Montreal A Fireman Killed. Montreal, Sept. 17. There was a very large fire in this city last night. Spellman's dlstlllerv, situated in the heart of the business section of the city, was fired by an incendiary and totally destroyed, involving a loss ol $100,000. In the couree of the conflagration, one firemaa was killed outright and another was mortally in jured by the fall of the walls of the burning building. The Indian War. Leavenworth, Sept. 17. A general attack was rriade by Indians to-day upon the (Trading par ties at the end of the track of the Union Pacltic Railroad, Eastern Division. Seven men were killed. Great excitement prevails at the forts. All the stock of a Government train has been captured between Walker and Fossil creeks, white men are suspected of instigating the late outrages on this route.

It ex ploded, killing one of the brothers, took a leg off anotber, aud an arm from the third, and the other was also beriouBij injured. MEXICO. The Car of General J. Gonzales Ortega. The following communication has been ad dressed to the Military Governor of Nucvo Leon by the Mexican Minister ot War, with reference to General Ortega's case: Mexico, August 17. To the Military Comman lant of the Stale ol Huevo Leon, Monterey: In the decrea of November 8, W6, on the following subject. It was declared that Senor Don Jesus Oonxales Ortega was responsible for remaining voluntarily ahrosd during the war without the permission or co. amission of th e (iovernment, Tbe grounds of this responsibility were twofold First, hy reason of bis ofllcial kbsenca from the discharge of bis duly as i'resident of the Supreme Court ol Justice, and by reason of his voluntary aban donment of said trust during the most grave circum stances attending the war. Second, by reason of the crime of having abandoned voluntarily during thi sail circumstances Ibe cause of the republic and the standard of Its army while holding the rank of y CI1 tfril. According to article 10.1 ol the Federal Constitution tbe I'resldent of tbe court Is responsible during his term of ofllce, not only for his official crimes, faults, or omissions, but also for all misdemeanors. With regard to bis official transgressions, the rule estab lished by article left is that Congress shall sit as a Jury to find whether the accused Is or Is not guilty; and if found guilty the Supreme Court of Justice shall proceed to sentence the accused. As to common misdemeanors, article 104 lays down that Congress shall act as a grand Jury to find whether the accused Is Indictable or not, and, If they find alllrmativeiy, then the accused shall be made amena ble to the ordinary proper tribunals. The notoriety of lienor Ortega's absence was amply sufllcleut to ground a declaration tht there was rea son to proBt cute him therefor. But, as to declaring him gulliy. It was considered more regular to await until he would present himself within the limits ot the republic, so as to be able to bear what he had to allege In his own defense. For this reason, aud In accordance with the constitutional provisions men tioned above, Congress, lu tbe exercise of us ainole powers on tbe subject, declared that there was reason to prosecu'e said J. Uonzales Ortega for com mon misdemeanor, and that as regarded bis official crime, tbe proper measures sin old be taKeu to try him when he would present himself within the republic. In January ot tuls year he came to Zaoate ciib, where he was arrested and placed at the disposal of tbe Government, which might at that time or since bave banded bim over to competent tribunals for his misdemeanor aud have decided on the matter ot his official otlense. Nevertheless, the Government deemed that It might snspeud Its action, s It was more important to at eud to the warlike situation then and not sow discord among those who sustained the nation and withdraw attention to a matter of minor consideration. Although circumstances have since changed, it seems preferable still to adjourn the case for some time. As the elections are soon to take place, the Govern ment prelers 'o reserve fur Coi gress to take cogni zance of the responsibility of official offense. And as to tbe mlsdeiAeanor, as the declaration has already been made that there are grounds lor i;rosecutiou, ft merely remains for the Government to name the pro per Jndge. Sllll, It Is deemed pi eferable to reserve this also tor a time, In order that the designation ot such Judge may be made by whomsoever the confi dence and tbe voles of the people shall select as Chief Maclstrateol tbe Kepublic. When the Government postponed the case In Janu ary ot ibis year, on account of the war, it deemed that circumstance of the war as more Important than all others than even the wish of Senor Ortega; but own, although preferring to still adjourn the case tor the reasons Just stated, it Is anxious lo avoid anv rea son for complaint on the part of said Ortega, should he desire to be tried at once. Hence the Cit'zeii Pre sident postpones thecase until Congress convene after the elections and the new President of the republic be Inaugurated, unless Senor Ortega desire to be tried Immediately. Tbe Citlzeu President orders that you make known this resolution to said Or'ega, and that you acquaint the Government of his reply. Independence and liberty. MEJIA. The Body of Maximilian. Mexico Citt, Sept. 2, via Vera Cruz Sept. J. The Austrian Admiral Tegetbolf has arrived here with a Mexican escort from Vera Cruz. He has been well received by the Government. To morrow he is to have an interview with Senor Sebastian Lerdo de Tejada, Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is very probable that the body of Maximilian will be delivered to his charge. Cholera on Board the Liverpool Steam ship Minnesota. Rumors were sfloat in the city yesterday of the prevalence ot cholera on board the steam ship Minnesota, ot the Liverpool and Great Western Steam Company's Line, which arrived at this port from Liverpool, via Queenstown, at midnight on Monday of the present week. Upon application to the authorities, it was ascertained that the reports, although greatly exaggerated lu point of figures, were in the main correct. The surgeon of the vessel states that on the third day out lrom Queenstown, the sickness broke out among the steerage passengers, most of whom were Irish, and from that time until the arrival of the steamer in New York the disease continued its dread work among those whose quarters were below the deck. The symptoms were those usually attending the cholera, except that there were no "rice-water" diecharges in any instance. An eminent physi cian counected with our Board ot Health is of opinion that tbe sickness is simple cbolera nioibu?. Others believe it to be the British cholera, as they term it; while as many Insist that it 19 the genuine Asiatic cholera, carried by the Irish immigrants from their soil, where it made its appearance recently. Ihe matter is under Investigation, however, and the public will soon be officially Informed of the truth. Yesterday evening there were but six cases of the sickness on the vessel, and it was thought probable that none of these would prove fatal. It will be seen by the. subjoined list of deaths that steerage passengers and the firemen ol the vessel were the only sufferers, all the officers and those of the passengers aud crew who were above deck euloying entire Im munity from the disease. The steamer is lying at quarantine, and arrangements have been made for the removal of the passengers and the speedy fumigation of the vessel and contents. LIST OF DEATHS. Steerage Passengers.

Governor Morton on the Finances. Cincinnati, Sept. 17. Governor 0. P. Morton, of Indiana, has written a long letter on the national finances. He says the Democratic pro position to pay bonds on the debt in Green backs would be clearly fatal to the credit and prosperity of the country. He argues that it is absurd to pay the debt at present. He says: "I would leduce the rate of taxation to the lowest point that would defray the expenses of the Government, economically administered, aud leave the principal of the bonded debt to be discharged in other aud better times." A Case op Restitution. The special meet ing of the Westmoreland Gardeners' Lodge, No. 142 (Kendal), held on the night of the 15th of August, was summoned for rather a novel purpose. It appears that some thirty three years ago, when the Lodge did not mas ter so numerously, and was not so rich as at present, one of its members was entrusted with a sum of money, more than .30 sterling, for the purpose of purchasing regalia. The man was young and poor, the temptation was too strong, and neither man nor money was again heard of until last month, when a per son of respectable appearance and gentlemanly deportment waited on the Secretary, and asked him to summon a special general meet ing of the Lodge. This was done, curiosity ? .(tai aurl a lartre catherlncr was the Was o-av.-.-j i "I m.F . j -- result. It then came out that the person ef respectable appearance and gentlemanly de portment was the missing "gardener" of thirty-three years ago, who had oome all the way from America to repay in person, with ample interest, the money which he had ap propriated in hie poorer days.

Th Return The Presidential excursion party reached here shortly after one o'clock this morning, pretty well tired out. The President is at his post this morning, transacting business. A large number of visitors are at the White House. McCulloch is also on duty at the Treasury. Mr. Fits John Porter. Fitz John Porter arrived this morning, and had an interview with General Grant. His case is under consideration, but there are legal did. culties in the way, which seem to be a bar to his request being granted, as he Is no longer an officer of the army, but a civilian, and cannot be tried by court-martial. Then the finding in his case has gone through all the regular forms, was approved by the late President Lincoln, and the vacancy has been filled, so that there seems to be no way in which the judgment in the case can be reversed or even leopened. . No decision has been made in the matter yet. All the West Point Influence seems to be favorable to Porter. Suicide. Rochester, Sept. 18. Charles H. Van Dyke, Express Messenger between this city and Nia gara Falls, committed suicide in this city to day. Depression of spirits was the cause of the act. Arrival of the Moro Castle.
