Dsivis Jtopolcon at Troyes. By the r.rrival ol the stcanvhlp City ot Ant werp, at New York, we have European dates to August. 12. GREAT BRITAIN. ah Kaellib Coasarvatlvo Orga oat Jail', Davis. The London Morning tlera'dot Aug. 12 says: Tbe arrival of Mr. Davis at Liverpool has TwtwraUj excited a good deal of interest aud attention Dor is there any reason to wonder t the warm reception be has met with; though there is much cauie to rejoice at tlie quiet and unostentatious cbaracer wbich the demonstra tions of respect and sjrnpaihy have assumed. Indeed, wherever he may bhow himself among tnelisbinei), Mr. I)aviB is sure to be welcomed with every mark ot esteem and admiration. Tne heroes ot an unfortunate cause are always popular with us, es-peciully when they have strupped and s uUVreci ou behalf of apeonle Urugglmg lor national independence. Kos sulh, fresh from a Turkish detention and lrom the Hungarian rebellion, was greeted with enthusiastic applause bv every class of tbe community; even Mazz m's name was popular until the recollections of the gallmt deiense of Kuue was etlaced bv other aud less horiorable associations. Political exile9 always end us predisposed in their favor, whatever their tarty, and whatever the cause tor which tbey have su tiered. But no man could appeal more stionglv to English sympathies than Mr. Jetlcrson Davis. In tbe brst place, he represents a kindred people, a nation ot English blood and Ki.glish speech, whose assertion of tneir independence was based ou principles tho rougbly congenial to our own, nud who-e gallantly in tbe held and fortitude in endurance awakened in the heaits of Englishmen the strongest feelings of ailcctiou aud aituiration that were ever excited in tnis country by auy loreign people or party. Aa u, the Southern rause had a peculiar bold ou our sympathies because it was, to begin with, t lie cue of constitutional naht and established Ihw agaiust the domination of a mere numerical majority ; and becaute it was tbe cause of the weaK against the strong, of tight millions ag.tirst twenty. That ho.d was constantly deepened by tbe heroic courage aud brilli int chivalry of the fcoutherters, and bv the splendid achievements and admirable qualities of their leaders. Moreover, Mr luvis commauds our sympa thies on bis own account. Little known t3 us when he nrt took his pi are at the bend of the Confederate Government, his character as it was displayed under all tbe trials and responsibili ties of that high posiiiou under the vicissitudes ot war, and in the darkness ot tbe final catas trophe his statesmanship, his administrative skill, his unbending courace. Lis unswerving rectitude, his unfailing resolution won for h'm individually a repaid only second to that felt lor his country, and mane him appear a worthy representative, inbisoffti per.-on, ol tbe cause for which he nborcd, aud tbe galUnt people Who bad entrusted their foitunes to bis haud. His subsequent suffering, and the cruel wrongs he hai endured with sut;h unbroken spirit and such uuuauuted fortitude, have at tracted townrds htm a still dueper sympathy aud respect; and outside of a small sect of lauatics whose sympathies and wishes ate always on the opposite side to tho-e of tboir countrymen, there is no Englishman who would not, pay to Jefferson Davis tbe tribute of reverence due to a great nature and a great calamity. It would be unfortuua'e, ani it would be un worthy, were tbe Americau people to take offense at the welcome given to the chief of the fallen Contederacv. We may request them to remember that we have nothing to do with their piescut feuds and merely political pquab ile with the abiojiation ot Southern Mate rights and the proscription of 8ou hem citi.eni. To us, South and Nonh are now parts of one Ame rican Ln on, and Mr. Davis is a mm honored and esteemed throughout one-half of that Union, as few unsuceesstul leaders have ever been honored by those wborn they con ducted to defeat and ruin. We welcome not the enemy of the United dta'es, but the chief ot tbe Southern people. We honor not so much tbe living as tbe dead ; we ex. press our sympathy with, no present ptrty strife, no posibic aspirations for tbe future, but with a pa-t that, boever glorious, however honorable, however lull ol lof.y deed and areat achievements, is bevond recull. That we sym pathlZ' d with the South, that we believed its cause to be youd, that we desired its triumph and lamented Its fall, Is known to every citizeu ot America. What should we pain bi affecting to iguore our former sympathies, or to repent our (mat conduct ? Were we to ptetend now to condemn what we theu adm're I, to believe tbe Bouth in the wrong because she ai conquered, and to abae ourselves at the feet of the con querors, wbat should we gain, aud what should we deserve, but tbe hearty eouiemot and utter loathing of every man, Northerner or Southerner, who took part loyally with the cause be believed to le just, and fought honestly to the last for his State or for the Union f Something ot this feeling has teeD pro voked already, owing to tbe dl-iueuuom man ner in which certain organs which, during the war, were notorloiitdy at vanauce with the public feeling of their countrymen have since assumed to apologize lor tbe symon'hles they did not share, and to taunt tbe public with a penitence it has never professed. Any coldness or indiCoreuce in the present reception of the ex-President ot the Confederal States would only easgest to the Americans ho waroily he would have been welc imed bad h triumoned. and induce tht m to believe tbat tbe favor and esteem of EntlishtLen depends not on the merit, but on the fortune of a statesman or a cause. Xb Irish Vburcb lluastloa at Prtaiaild br ttadlca.1. The London Jf'inifs of Aug. 12 says: Tne speech of Mr. Forster to his constituents at Uradlord is worth notice as a plain nnd vig orous exposition of the real ls-ue to be decided b tbe nation iu November. Mr. Fors er did no, indeed, contine himself to tbe great subject now belore tbe people, for his address was delivered in accoriinnce. with an annual custom, and contained ti review of a'l the chief mattes tlii-ciissed in the psst session, ami be had more over (orneihiug to tav ou bis Ml'iuuee with Mr. Mitt'l in the coming contest at Bra -ifnrd. But it is on tbe que.-t on of the Iib Church that Mr. lorster best deserves atteuiiou. Mr. lois'er, ibouuh trained, as be confesses m autthr school. Is zealous iu defense of tbe Hual'n-h Church. it is, he urge, a gnat engine of good. It hrlegs home to the pi ople in evciy part of tbe country, to a piople vtady and will'Ug to receiva them, tbe lessons Kid cciifcolatioii ol lehaiou. Tb a'ien esta bliebment in Ireland has failed entiiely to re commend itself to the Irish nation, and to bind the fgl'sh and Irish Churches together is to bn d the living to the dea l, in the sa'ue wav it is impossible for any one who will enJidly consider tbe facis of the ca-e to deny that the Irish Church is r hindrance ,0 Protestantism. Ireland is the only Cath 'lie country lu Earoue, except Kpain, where tbe ulir iiuoutune party is eupreme. Tne es'abliMiuicnt of the Pro testant Church in IreUnd makes conversion lo it appear desertion from the weaker side, and thus arruys the sentimeut wlrch ts especially strong in the Ir sb people against any dispoilon to almit i'rotestaut ideas. If we turn lo America we unl a constant U)H,yblZlll(Ut '.0 pi'AtU that '.lie iilehiu&tl la the second or third generation coaxes to be a Catholic, and we are driven to, the lrreslsttole conclusion that the Irish establishment, through tbe antagonism it generates, has hindered rather than assisted Protestan',im. It is indeed a mockery to those who understand that the essence of Protestantism is the independence of religions belief to believe tbat it can be propa gated by an institution wh ca is founded and maintained on tbe Idea of compulsion. Tbe lrh establishment is a practical denial ol the fitb it preaches. It is not supported by the free Judg ment ot the Iri-h nation, but by the abused power of Great Britain. We have dwelt upon Mr. ForMcr's argument upon the Irish establishment because this is the question of tbe hour, and to it alone, promi nence ought to be siven. It will be a great mistake m the conduct ot tbe enutng campaign If the simple isue belore the country be obscured by extraneous topics. Tuo victor? will be easy if those broad principles which appeal to tbe intelligence of the people be con stantly kept in sight. GENKRALNKv78.

Hera d'a correspondent, writing from Paris, August 11. says: It is my painful duty to announce the death ol Commodoie fcidwtn Stevens, of tbe New Vori Yacht Club. In a previous letter I communi cated to you tbe fact tbat the Commodore hid been compelled to relinquish bis passage on the St. Laurent in consequence ol a serious illness, which he or his friends very little understood. Tbe Commocii re remarked to me that be wis unable to u-ebis limbs freely in conequenca of a severe attack of rheumatism, and that he should be compelled to lay by until be had somewhat recovered, when he proposed ti go borne. Wbat he thought and what many of his Iricnds supposed was rhenma'lsm proved to be para !j sis. Instead of improving he grew worse. The fatal disease s liking him at the extremi ties very rapidly approached his vitals, aud on Friday night last, alter lingering four or five days at death's door, he passed from this to the htreaiter quietly and with periect composure and satisfaction. He bad all the attention that old and devoted friends could show him. Mr. Henry Stone, of Monroe coun'y, was with him and saw tbat uothmg was wanting to make his latter hours as comfortable as mubt be. Mr. Stevens' remains buve been laid avay in the American Chapel, where tbey will ret until ibe departure of the steam r Napoleon III. from Havre, August 20. at which time tbey will be forwarded to New 1 ork for final intermeut. The Commodore's death has been errea ly felt among bis old friends and those wbo have met him casually in America or at home. Napohoa'i faaaa Spaacta at Troyag, The London Tinipsof Aug. 13, says: It may probnbly be thought the duty of the whole human race on tbe continent of burope to express lively (atisiactionat tbe speech which tbe Hmperor Napoleon has made to the Mayor ofTioyes. The MonOeur publishes it.it has been, or will be copied into every newspaper in Europe, it will be discussed at locations. In clurs, in cafes, and each man will call bis neighbor's attention to the "peaceful declara tion'' ot tbe great soveieian. Tnut France, tranquil and dignified, should conJe- scend to abstain from anonslauaht on her neigh bors Is looked upon by a large class of French men as an act of toraearaace which it is the duty of foreigners reverently to appreciate. This feeling iu the French people, and the seeming acquiescence ot eontinemal Europe In it is orbad augury for the world, ince it show that the sense of right is not strong enough to control the policy of these great military powers. It still remains part of the received code of political morals tbat war is a legitimate policy for a State and that a sovercgn mav fairly choose between a warlike and a peaceful career accord ing as tbe one or the other is the more advanta geous to bis interests or more congenial to tbe theories which be has established in his own mind, In fact tbe public opinion seems to allow to the urn per or .Napoleon a greater lati tude than he himself claims. So far as we can learn from his own declaration aud from bis public acts he hss no wish to engage in aggres sive war. it is nine years since be went to Italy, and though during this long peri d a determination to find another enemy has been attributed to him, he has as yet kept the peace iu Europe. Tbe Europeau public, however, almost encourage a different policy. By treat ing a war between France and Prussia as a very likely thing and, Indeed, as the wevitaole result ot the proximity ot two such full charged thunder-clouds, tbey do their best to realize their on suspicions and to verify their ovu predictions. We all know that such a war would be without any real provocation on the part of Germany and tbe result only of national jra lrusy m France. Let us, then, rather assume that the intention to make war is not to be attributed to any enlightened prince or to auy bigbminded people. Let us Une tbe speech at Troyes, reproduced officially as it has been in the Monutur, as an authoritative reply to war like rumors, and then say that it is what we have a right to expect from the responsible ruler of a great nation. UiarklaK of tba Praia Uw, The Paris rays, of the llih ot August, pub lishes u most imiienant article against the lau guaiie of tbe fast number of the Laniertie, wh ch, the writer declares, has ''brought the bload to ins lace from sheer indication."

The great merit of this form is lis atrengih, both absolute aud relative to the s rains required while laying tbe cahle. The ao ual fctrength ot this hemp and aieel cahle Is V time, while the Btra'n required lor submersion need uot ex ceed 14 cwt.

Gotbard range of Alps immediately in front, tier Majesty, la coming here, used the same train that conveyed the royal party from Cher bourg to Paris, and in which there is pood sleeping accommodation. Tbe di-tance from Paris to Balse, on the Swiss froutler, Is three hundred and twenty-three English miles, the route, except in the hilly wine districts, having little of a picturesque character to recom mend it. At Basle her Majesty and tbe royal party took bresklast, and hero the olllcials ot the Eastern Railway resigned their cuarpe of the train to theofficeisoi the Central Swiss Railway. That line, the works of which were executes! by Mr. Brasr-ey, traveises the district of the Jura through very beautilul sc nery to Otten, at w bich point branches diverse to Lucerne and other Swiss centres. On qui tine Btslu the rail wav crosses tbe valley of the Birs over a lattice bridse, a Utile work of the famous battle-field of St. Jacob, where in 1444 1600 Swiss had tbe courage to withsrand for ten hours a French army ten times more numerous, commanded by the Dauphin, afterwards Louis XI. Only ten of tbe Swiss escaped alive, and tne baitle of St. Jacob is still reierred to as the Tberuioovlie of Swhs history. The vineyaids near tbe held produce ted wine cal'ed Schweitzer Bint (Swiss blood). Tbe railway continues for seve ral miles along tbe flat laud ot the Rhine valley, and tbeu leaving it turns to the right up the valley of the river krgolz to Llestal. the seat of government otBale-Carapngne.

Altogether tbe spot cbo-en tor ber Majesty's residence has charms ot scenery of the most sub'me character, probably not to bo equalled in Europe.

Baron Von Beust, In bis speech to the Rifle nieetintr at Vienna, Aug. 7, aid: Gentlemen: Iu the coantry lo which I be loiiped I was present at two great (crman n atlonal festivals. Every ore was then annulled by the noblest entbusia.-ni; no disagreement was any where heard. It was glorious to hear the uar niony ol soug n ingle with the union of tectums and of thoughts. A year bad fcrcel.y pushed betoro the civil war broke out In full force. It will be said that tbe German nation wit united, but tbat its princes wete i.ot ; that its G ivern irerts quarrelled and pu bet their suojects inio ibis sanguinary struggle. Wbat a prodicious error I Cabinet wars are no longer made nt, the rrefent day. ( tfutbuslasilc chceis.) Whoever thinks ihat they are may believe with equal propriety that b cause storms burst iu tl e fky, they are formed In tbe upper regions of the atmobere, aud are not due t the evaporations arising from the ground.

Everybody wit-bed for a united, powerul, free Germany j but how was it to ne ainved at f Opimous were divided upon tins point in the North and In tbe b'outh, In a portion of the North and in a pi r'lon of I lie Snath. But us unfortunately the point of view of parties, is inrlenible, and iia jkcjUUig tcudeie? ai? rjyt ft i.fcc; tajje coali tion long together, the violent coills'.on in which we bave taken part wai rendered possi ble. May these unhappy experiences not be lost I Catchwords and programmes, however conformable they may be to the tendencies of the publio mind, are not In themselves sufficient to lead to the common good, and rarely succeed in brlnaing about an agreement in whit that common good consists. Just and equitable Ideas, resolute and honorable acts of these reconcile parties and bring nations to f ether. (Cheers.) Tbe policy of Austria no onger presses Itself Into the affairs of Germany, and no aspirations after vengeance fill the pub lic mind in this empire (loud cheers); but no treaty preveuts Austria lrom acquiring esteem, confidence, and regard by wbat her people or her Government produce and create. The free development ot all moral and material re sources, which neither the depreciating disfavor of our enemies, nor the anxious timorouncss of our friends can now withdraw from the light of day, is not diplomatic action tbat can be stig matized as tntriene, but the labor of the honest man wbo pains tor himself esteem in pursuing it. Let os not be distntbed ln this task, and may it be rendered easier to us by frank and honest sympathy such sym pithy as the com rades who have come from fai and near to participate In these festivities have given us in so surprisimg and agreeable a manner and for which we cannot thank them sufficiently. Germany will not have to repent it. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, allow me to conclude by add a word to you not only as a German, but more particularly as an Austrian. Austrians' feeling for Germany is what certainly no party In Germany rejects, and I may boldly add no nationality in the entire Ausirian monarchy. But if It is desired to make tbe German element the pillar of this idea, then, gentlemen, it must not be separated from the other races who belong lo tbe empire with equal right and fidelity, equally tried valor and devotion. (Cheers.) The uniou. tbe concord of all the nations living under the sceptre of our illustrious Emperor, can alone guarantee tbe fulfilment of that historically civilizing- mission of Austria which is alike an interest of Austria and Germany. Therefore, gentlemen, I drink lo peace and to reconcilia tion as the bearers ot regular progress, the keepers of healthy freedom, as the sustaining pillars of secure and permanent order. Tba German Polar Kxpidltloa. Fuller news has unexpectedly been received from the captain of this expedition. He writes: "From Bergen to near the lslaud of Jan Meyen we bad a good and quick journey, in not quite six days we bad made tne whole distance, as we had calculated. We bad thus accomplished within that period, in a straight line, 11 degrees, or (JG0 nautical miles, aud in very changeaole weather loo. From a complete calm It changed to periect storms aud winds in manifold direc tions. Near Jau Meyen we had on the morning of the 30th of May a complete hurricaue from the east; the sea began to surge very consider ably, the air was thick with ra'n, so that one could hardly see a leigue in advance; the temperature lell from six degrees to one degree It., the rain soon was translormed into icy needles, and sails, ropes, aud all were covered with a frozen crust. But our brave little vessel aid not take any notice of it. She flew over the sea like a bird. In order to dry our rkgings we kept on as long as possible at full sail, making more than ten knots an hour, which meant something with our little craft, which behaved beautifully all the time. From Jan Mejeu we generally held to the NNW. towards East Greenland lor two days, malting a distance of about 200 leagues through a thicic fog, which showed the vicinity of ice; but not before the 6th of June, in 74 deg. 60 min. north lat 10 deg. 38 mlo, west long., at a dis tance ot only sixty-seven nautical miles from the coast of Greenland, did we see the ice first. We instantly went at it and succeeded lu pene trating it, alter three days' nurd work, as far as 76 degrees 19 minutes north latitude, 12 degrees 48 minutes west loagitude. On the 8tn of June, however, another sevesre hurricane from the east tried our little Germania to the utmost, but she held firm and tight, andoulfered no da-nage. The stormy weather kept on. We had to lie by in the ice, and to drift on with It to tbe south wards, until wind and tee should become more favorable. Meanwhile several scientidc obser vations were taken, and the time was further beguiled by the killing of six ice-oears. On the lGih of June we had arrived at 73 degrees 47 minutes north latitude, and 15 degrees 40 min utes west longitude, or 102 miles to the south, and from bete tbe whole cctst from Hudson's Hold-with-Hope to Sabine f aland. the latter sixty-eight miles distant was seen distinctly in the clear weatber. But there was no chance of reaching it then, since the storms of the previous week had driven the ice towards the coast, where it lay toweriug up to prodigious heights. Sticking fast ln the ice, our vessel drifted on until the 20th of June, thirty miles further to the south, to 72 deg. 20 min. north lat., and 16 deg. 18 min. west long. On the same day there came a boat from the English vessel Diana, from Hull, which lay only four miles lrom us seaward iu the open water, and which has taken our news. The prospect had meantime brightened up. The wind bad changed to the northwest. The weather was very beatlf il; there was no cload in tbe sky, and the ice commenced to give way." Petermann, to whom the letter is addressed, adds to it: "It shows greatbolduess and energy that the little Germania has at once gone into the heavy ice and penetrated so far west. Taat she has been kept there by the prevalent eastern winds and storms is but natural. A change of wind and weather would at onca procure her liberation. A CURIOUS SUIT.
