With pleasure we Insert below the letter that
Mr Florencio Rivus tins hnd the kindness to
address os with reference to his intervention in
tlx appointment of tnc umpire, who formed part
f the North American mixed commission, Tho
intonations that Mr. Kivos Rives are, in our
jatkmcnt, completely satisfactory, and have left,
beyond doubt thoroughly proved, ttie Rood faith
with which he proceeded In this business, and of
which we pover harbored the slightest doubt:
Metxrt. Editor of La Opinion A'acional:
In the columns of No. 40 of your enlightened
journal I find in the article headed "Mr. Villa
fane and tho North American Claims" the follow
ing paragraph: "When Mr. Machado was
appointed umpire by the Minister of a neutral
power, nob(xly could explain to himself the
motive of his election. Time has taken upon
itself to reveal that such appoiutment was tho
work of some intrigue on the part of Mr. Tal
inace, or of the American interests involved,
from the moral responsibility of which the
Kussian Minister became free, since he consulted,
as to the appointment, with our Representative
ut Washington, Mr. Kloreneio Rivas, and ob
tained his approval." The dignity of my charac
ter and that of the ofllcc which I had the honor
to discharge, obliges me to give a statement of
the tacts that occurred in this affair insomuch as
it has any connection with my person. By the
convention entered into between the Govern
ment of Venezuela and the United States of
America, the Russian Minister was left in absolute
liberty to make the election of the umpire
who was to decide in case of any disagreement
between the Venezuelan and American Com
missioners. As soon as I was informed that he
had acceded to make the election of the umpire
who was to decide in the American claims, I
addressed said Ambassador the following note,
of which I have taken a copy from the tiles of
our Foreign Relations:
"Wahhinoton, Feb. 7, ItitK The undersigned.
Charge d'Affaires ad interim of the I'nited States oi
Venezuela near tills Government, lias the honor to
Kalute his Excellency, Huron Kdward Stoeckl, Envoy
Extraordinary ami .Minister Plenipotentiary of his
Majesty the Emperor of Knssia near the Cabinet of
WuHliitttrton, and to state to him his having already
iriven his acquiescence In making the appointment
of the arbiter who will have to decide in case of any
disagreement between tho Venezuelan ami Anglo
American Commissioners; as expressed in the con
vention entered into between the I'nited. States of
Venezuela and the I'nited states of America, the
!W1 of April, lstUi, and with the contents of which
he Is duly acquainted. You might perhaps desire to
have Information of other persons of my country
besides the Venezuelans you know residing in this
country, where, they are distinguished lor their
acknowledged abilities, honesty, and respectability
indispensable qualifications in conducting suitably,
unerringly, and uprightly, the interests of both par
ties in the important position of umpire. I beg. in
the tirst place, to suggest to you the members of the
Diplomatic Body accredited near that Government
aud residing In Caraerus. The English and the .
Spanish Ministers, thy Consul General of Denmark,
with the exception merely of K. 1). U.
Rolsndus, Consul General of the Nether
lands, who, having ben already rejected
liy the Venezuelan Commissioner, is quite
nut of the list of these candidates, without any possi
bility of his again being any more thought of. I have
the honor, then, to present the names of those Vene
zuelan gentlemen, to whom I have already referred,
residing ill that capital, and who present all the
qualifications that could be desired to enable them
to ably till the post of umpire, as well for their ac
knowledged good Judgment and intelligence, know
ledge and integrity, as for their well-established re
spectability, which give them a distinguished rank in
the Venezuelan community. Herewith are their
names: Dr. Nicanor Borges, Dr. Mariano de Bri
ccno, Licdo. Juan Pablo Kojas Paul, Dr. Angel Maria
Alumo, Dr. Weneeslao X'rrutia, General Francisco
Mejia, and General Gabriel Ochoa. There is no
doubt, sir, that, for reasons which will not escape
your clear judgment, the election of a person residing
in Caraccas, the capital of the republic, would cer
tainly be more convenient, in order to facilitate the
labors of the Commission. Far from me the idea of
wishing for any motive to pretend to influence In the
least the decision of your impartial judgement In this
Important business. But I ought rather to express
that 1 am prompted solely by the desire to seek, by all
the means within my reach, light and success in the
flection of the umpire which you are competently
' authorized to determine, and wliich, I doubt not, you
will accomplish to the satisfaction of both countries.
"1 avail myself of the present-occasion to offer you
the assurances of my highest consideration and re
lotrd, with whic h I have the honor to subscribe myself
Your most obedient servant,
"Flokkncio Rivas."
The candidates recommended having, been re
jected by the Risian Minister, assigning as the
reason his not being able to acquiesce in making
that election In a person that he did not know;
and on adding that, without a knowledge of our
men and of our country, it was very dillicult for
him, if not impossible, to accept any of our citi
zens. 1 then presented him the names of some of
the Venezuelans residing in that republic, and of
merchants who had lived among us, of whom,
on account of the ties of gratitude that united
them to the nation that had enriched them, im
partiality and justice in their decisions were cer
tainly to bo expected, and they were likewise
rejected, alleging therefor the same reason.. The
only Venezuelan whom the Minister knew per
sonally was Mr. Ramon Paez; and iu respect
to Mr.' J. X. Machado, he informed me
that he had heard him spoken of in honorable
terms in Baltimore. Between Mr. Paez, whom I
have known for many years, and Mi . Machado,
whom I did not know, nor do I know yet, I
would have, without hesitating, recom
mended the former; but the instructions I
ll I (I .nlinl, t ' ... . .1 ! .1
.n ivVMUU IHII1I tlQ UtMCIIIIIlVUl U1U UUb pel -
wit me to aeeept hiui. What Venezuelan could
now have wavered one sinjjle instant between the
recommendation of Mr. Machado, a son of this
country,-a compatriot of ours, and the American
candidates recommended by Mr. Seward, more
r less interested In those claims? Much less
I, who, utter having repaired to the city of
Baltimore, obtained there, unfortunately, reports
favorable to Mr. Machado, and whom (it is
now compulsory to say) the respect for pro
bity that his father enjoyed in this community
recommended him bevond measure. At last, 1
resigned myself iu that emergency, with an up
right heart, and unlimited l,v tin- 1 ntinf.tii f
duty. Reason and justice never err. It was also
authoritative in tho Ambassador to make the
election. By the convention entered into, I
could only interpose niv kiud otllces. I must
frankly confess that 'I deemed, as all then
deemed, the electlou advantageous to Venezue
lan interests. Nothing was more natural. My
astonishment is equal only to my disappoint
ment. The monstrous awards of . that Commis
sion ought to 1111 every Venezuelan with indigna
tion and all just and honest men. Were I to be
placed again in an identical position, I would act
iu an identical manner. Who is there that can
penetrate into the secret aberrations of the soul?
ouch Iniquitous decisions will bo an eternal and
shameful protest against the sentiment of jus
tice, me voice oi conscience, auu mo mines uue

Jl WW I1C I J
England, since it would relievo her of the only
weakness which exists in her American policy.
She cannot act with independence in the Ala
bama claims, for instance, lest in asserting her
self she bring' on us the terrible ravages of a
hopeless war. Beoomo independent, aud free
the hands of the mother county. We are host
ages now. If there . must be high words let it
be understood between America and Britain that
they fight on even terms on sea, and that New
York, not Montreal, is likely to be bombarded.
We give England nothing, and barring a protec
tion perfectly useless when it comes to bo out in
practice, and restrictions on American trade, she
gives us nothing. It would bo best for
Canada.- It would romove the only possible
cause oi discord between England and America,
or Canada and America. It would do away with
th foolish prejudice f sentiment because of
British connection, which makes tho Americans
misjudge Canada, and retards American invest
ments. H would, wisely conducted, lead to the
oUvereln, where the profits are five to ono in
our favor. It would swamp provincial discon
tents. It would bring to full fruition the in
dustries of Canada, Tier carrying trade and
Brian ufacures. It wculd place the two countries
on the same footing materially, and thus arrest
the exodus. It would make tho property-holder
more scenre, and his property more valuable,
give the workmen higher wages, tbe employer a
better business.

How charming it sounds to hear of Felix
seated at the piano, extemporizing one day in
bis apartment at Koine, when suddenly a
splendid contralto voice repeated a thqine out
of his Fantasia. His friends, too, listeucd. It
was a voice that had often met their car In all
its melody; tho young maid of the landlady
" " """tj'llfi f"t'UH iVUHIU uins
during her work. Ou that day, however,
Mendelssohn started up iu surprise. ' "She
sang my theme quite correctly !" exclaimed he.
They opened the window; she was seated on
the stairs singlut, while puckinir all sorts of fruit.
Into a large basket. ' Oh I if 1 could only once
hear her sing near." "Call her iu, then.,r "The
question is, will she come?" The painters were
bolder than the musician, and. alter a slmvt. mid
playful negotiation, they persuaded lier to como
into the room. She was neither handsome nor
graceful, and rather shy, but said she Was will
ing to sing her songs. They hurried her to the
piano, while the joyous companions grouped
themselves lu a circle, and the rare coutmlto
voice rose before them like a calm moon. Men
delssohn accompanied her extempore as she
sang. It must have been a rich picture, and a.
rich enjoyment. From that moment Mendelssohn
provided for the musical education of this girl
in the most self-siieriuciutr manner, and the.
simple maid of the Piazza d Espagna became an
excellent singer. How often must she have re
membered with deen gratitude the youthful
benefactor whose hand had led her out of
obsenrityinto the bright warm light lJ&miitis-
