The New York Tinus of thin morning prints the following important special des patch: Washington, Sunday, June 13. Since the discussion of the Alaluima question, both at Louie and abroad, has taken ttuch a wide scope, and since there has been such a decided reac tion from ttic positions of Mr. Sumner's speech, and since the proposition to make the question a party issue meets with little serious counte nance, it becomes more than usually interesting to know precisely where the administration Hands at present. The Gladstone Ministry will in a few days otlielally understand our position, and there can therefore bo no impropriety iu stating the facts ns they exist. ISo much has been said from tills point on this subject, and such vague and contradictory Accounts have been given of Mr. Motley's In structions, that the public mind must he much confused respecting the precise attitude of our (iorcrnmcnt. Mr. Sumner, while never assert ig in positive terms that those instructions were based on his speech, lias, nevertheless, nought to convev in his conversations the im pression that lie had been substantially indorsed and he has repeatedly stated that Mr. Motley and himself were iu perfect accord upon the subject. This latter assertion is very possibly true. But Mr. Sumner knows what Mr. Motley's instructions arc as thoroughly as does the mau who wrote them, and his pride probably pre vents him from making a frank admission of the completeness of his defeat. No matter what Im pressions he may convey in discussing the sub ject, it is nevertheless known here that he is mueh displeased with the instructions, and that they are almost entirely at variance with his views, for the following reasons: First. Mr. Sumner wanted Mr. Motley In structed to propose a reopening of the negotia tions at once on the basis of his speech. Mr. Motley's instructions were precisely the reverse of this, to wit to make no overtures for tho reopening of negotiations at present, but await the action of the Knglish Government and the development of events. Second. Mr. Sumner wanted the instructions to cover tho question of belligerency, which, he insists in his speech, gives this (iovernmcnt a claim against the British Government for dawages or reparation. On tho contrary. Mr. Motley was instructed to inform the British Government at the proper time that the United Btates, as a Government, has no claim against Great Britain for damages because of her recog nition of the'belligerency of the rebels. IMS wnoie matter was maturely considered hy the President, both in Cabiuet and out of Cabinet, and in the light not only of our rela tions to Great Britain, but our relations to France, Spain, and other nations which recog nized the bouth. in these discussions, the only man who stood by Mr. Sumner's position was Secretary Boutwell. Every other member of the uatunet, as well as tne rresident, disapproved very decidedly of the policy enunciated in Mr. Isumner s speech, and the result of their delibe rations was, as has been repeatedly stated in your telegraphic despatches, that the adminis tration on this question rcsalved upon the policy of non-action. These I know to be tlfc facts in the case, and they define substantially the present attitude of the administration. I may add one word respecting the Cuban question. The rresident, the Secretary of War, and possibly one or two other members of the Cabinet, were strongly desirous of taking early steps towards the recognition of the insurgents. But after a careful review of the whole situation. it was formally decided that tho aspect of affairs did not warrant action by tho Government. i his was prior to the recent revolutionary events on the island, since which there has been no re consideration of the subject. F'orcijfu Notes. -A correspondent at St. Petersburg, writing on the lHtli ult, says: "The negotiations with Homo are entering into a new phase. It is stated here ou (rood authority tnat tne rope lias or line snown a very friendly disposition towards the Czar, anij has requested that permission may be granted to the Koman Catholic bishops in the empire to attend the (Ecumenical Council. This request, it Is added, will he complied with, but only on the condition that tits Holiness shall direct the Polish clergy to read prayers and deliver sermons In Itus Fian. It is not yet known whether the Pope is disposed to accept this condition. Couui, l'.ohrynskl, who has Just been appointed Minister of Communications, is one of the wealthiest of the ltussian nobles, and belongs to the conservative party, which, under Count Sohouvalon", is still domi nant at uoun. li is nopeu mm no win introduce some much needed relorms in the railway adminis tration, which is in a very disorganized state. Dur ing the last few months mere lias neen an enormous number of railway accidents, owing chiefly to the negligence of the oillelals. The Emperor, whose health and energy have been constantly falling since the attempt of Bere.owskl, is going next mouth with tils lamiiy to tne Crimea." It is announced In most of the French papers that the principal shops in Paris will henceforth bo closed on Sundays. This important social reform is not the result of a religious movement, but has been brought about by the same kind of agency which, in England, has introduced the Saturday naii-hoiiuay. The Society of the Employes de Commerce inform the public that, with few exceptions, all the linen drapers, vendors of ready-made apparel, silk mercers, and hosiers of Paris have consented to close their shops on Sunday, and the employes "appeal to the good-will of the public to aid them In making the measure general." A great number of Czech families arc now esta blishing themselves in the Caucasus, where special advautages are given, them by the ltussian govern ment. One colony, consisting of thirteen families, has settled on the river Tclmb, and another of twenty families on the river Tuapse, where they have built a village called Pilenkova, after General Pileuko, the Russian governor of the district. Thirty other fami lies are now on their way to the Caucasus In the K hooner Kedout Kale, and nearly live thousand more are expected from Bohemia and Moravia. The settlers have much greater privileges than are allowed to colonists of otfcer nationalities. To each family Is given 80 desslatins (about 70 acres) of fertile land gratis ; and if It accepts the ltussian nationality, it further becomes entitled Ui a gratuity of 40 roubles (6) and an advance of KM) limbics, repayable In llfteeii years.

The Election Excitement- Korlirfort' Addremi Mitz7.ini In Purls The New Chnmher of lrptilirn. From our foreign exchanges we clip the following extracts: KoeiiEFORT's AnntiRsa. M. Kochefort has addressed tho following to tho electors of the Seventh Circumscription: "Citizens No people has ever repented of having taken a step In advance. The triumph of radicalism must be complete. Paris cannot do less than Lyons and Marseilles. The people of Paris will not act In such a way as to make the second scrutiny a rernloule, and what the electors have to do Is to give expres sion to their sentiments in the most energetic man ner. The reactionary party has often mixed my name with those of Hospall, Bailed, and (Jambotta; 1 ask you, citizens, to give me a seat In the Corps l'glslatif by the side of them. We have been re presented as something fearful, as something awful. We ourselves, on the contrary, are tilled with awe and amazement when we think of tho many social problems which demand solution, aitd to which so many men shut their eyes the miserable condition of women, the frightful en croa diluent of capital, and the Instruction of children who are set to work so soon, and whose Intelligence Is developed so late. The (lay when the whole o France knows how to read and write, arbitrary rule and falsehood will breathe their last. This Is why the majority of France have been for centuries past, so carefully pent up In an Ignorance favorable to the designs of despotism. What we havu to do is to en force the application to public instruction of the millions squandered away In useless and even wicked expeditions. For these various tusks the country wants energetic men whom nothing can move, and who will not allow themselves to be over come by such arguments as divine missions and pro vidential Interventions. Citizens, I know not what the future has in store for France, but if she faKs into fresh traps and new dangers, I confidently be lieve that yon will say of me when the peril is over: 'lie was with those who did their duty.' "llENKI ROCnKKOKT. "Brussels, 27th May, 1869. M MAZZINI IK PARIS. London Time Correspondence, June 1. The GmiUjU of last night affirmed, and 1 wonder that the news has not made more sensation here, that Mazzinl, who Is nnder I know not how many sentences front French courts, came through Paris, walked In the Passage Joutrry, sat down and smoked a cigar in front of one of the cafes on the Boulevards, and, as he was setting his foot on board the steamer at Boulogne to go to England, put into the hands of a messenger a telegraphic despatch to the Prefect of Police, to Inform him that he had just passed unper ceived under his nose. This reads like romance, and most llkelv it Is; but the (iauloi Is responsible for it. TUB MEANING OK THE ELECTIONS IN TUB GREAT CITIES. "A Parisian correspondent" writes to the London Time of May SI : " If you will get at the true rea son for the clean sweep of the Parisian representa tives, yon will find in the end that they are blamed and dismissed for having sat six years in the House without having contrived any great and decisive event, and for having confronted the Government during six years without having been able to over throw it." POSITION OF TOR GOVERNMENT IN TOE NEW CHAMBER. "A Parisian Correspondent" writes In the London Time of May 81 : "There is no doubt that the Gov ernment would accept gladly ten Uaspails in the House rather than one Thiers.) A fast, too fast, com ing future will prove that the absurdity of such a policy is equal to Its wickedness, and that a great nation cannot be - safely pent In between two scourges, and dally ordered to choose lietween per sonal government and demagogy. With a Hoche fort, a Bancel, and a dozen others like them In the House, dimcult to bear with, Impossible to touch, and hacked In all their attempts by the popular sym pathy of an immense capital, not to speak of the support of the working classes throughout the em pire, the Government will be able after a short time to keow the falseness of its calculation and the hol lowness of its present Joy." CUBA. Unsettled State of Adair. The Tivie this morning says: "We understand that our Consul-General at Havana, Mr. Plumb, has sent despatches to the Government at Washington making Inquiry as to his course of action under the present anomalous state of affairs existing in the island of Cuba. The men who are now in control at the Palace, after their seizure of power and expal slon of the Spanish representative, have undertaken the administration of government without the au thorization of the Madrid authorities, and It is now impossible to tell what shape affairs may assume at any hour, or what may be tho final result of the con dition of anarchy now Impending over the island. There are many very important Interests In Cuba that demand the judgment and decision of Consul- general Plumb, ami tnat demand special instruc tions adapted to the present unexpected, extraordi nary and revolutionary condition of things." Hccretury Finn Defends bin Cuban l'oliey Noii- reeoKintion or Aid lu tne liiHiirKcnts. It seenis the Cuban sympathizers here were a little premature in the hopes they entertained on Saturday of speedy recognition on the part of our Government. Thev supposed that the almost total disappearance of the Spanish authority would naturally lead Secre tary l' lsn to recognize at once tne ouiy otner power on the island, thst of the patriot Cubans. Mr. Fish, however, is still disposed to make haste siowiy. ue acknowledges that the power of Spain has virtually llsannearcd from the island, nothing remaining ol It but the mob known as the Spanish volun teers; but he thinks it unwise to abandon the noiicv wnicn no nas nereioiore pursued to wards Cuba. This policy, the Secretary insists, has been and is tne best lor tne patriot Cubans as well as for our Hovernment. He regards the present con dition of aflairs In Cuba as proof of the wisdom of his policy. Had he been guided by the urgent ap peals of the Cuban agents, or listened to the popular clamor, and recognized the belligerent rights of Cuba, the Secretary thinks he would only have created complications which would have prolonged the struggle, Spain would prouaniy nave made an extra ellbrt, and might have excited the sympathy, und possibly secured the aid of some European power. All tins, jr. nsn argues, nas oeen avoiueu by simply allowing events to tuke their own course. Cideb dishing Is among those who com pliment Mr. Fish on his policy, and, during a call at the Department of State to-day, said that Mr. Fish deserved the thanks of the country. Mr. Fish thinks he sees the end of the trouble in Cuba. He does not believe that action on the part of the Government would hasten It, while it might, just at this juncture, delav It. The indications are that the Spanish volun teers will gtt up a revolution ou their own account anions themselves, ending wun a rcpcuuon oi me old storv of the Kilkenny cats. They have the upper hand, and It win be necessary ror wnoeverissent out as captatn-lienerai to conciliate mis moo. ii is ine opinion of the best informed among the olllcials here that 11 let aione me spauisu power iu uuoa, or ramer what reraiilus of it, will g'J to pieces, and thus leave the Cubans an easy victory.

THE COAL HKtilQNS. Condition or Things in the Mining District. The Het ks county Journal savs: The suspension of mining operations in the Schuylkill, Lehigh, and l.uzerne regions has now lasted over a mouth. Its ellects are beginning to be seriously felt. The stock of coal at the (intercut shipping points and In the eastern cities Is dwindling down rapidly. The most serious results of the suspension, however, are leit among our large Iron manufacturers. Through llerks county, so far as we hear, tho supplies of our furnace and rolling-mill owners will still hold out, and will last some weeks vet, but in the Lehigh Valley several furnaces ami mills have been conqs lled to stop a'ready tor want of fuel, and more will have to do so it the strike continues st 11 longer. Even the Reading Railroad Company, we see it stated, are using bituminous coal on some of their locomotives to keep their trains miming, in a word, we are on tho eve of a coul ramiuo that will result in the Ions of millions of dollars to the iiiaiiu faeturibg Interest of the State, unless the miners again speedily get to work. lieu tho susprnsion Hist coniiimnced, It was generally understood to lie owing to a mutual understanding among the opera tors and their incii to raise the price of coal. Hut the relations of the parties have since changed. It Is a "strike" now to all Intents and purposes. Em ployers and employed are antagonistic,, and not willing to come to terms. The men demand in creased wages at a llxed rate when coal sells at 3 a ton at the mines, and an upward sliding scale of 20 percent of any advance above that price. The operators will not consent to this, and say they will keep their mines closed nil summer rather than submit to dictiuion In the mutter. The "General Council of Miners," a secret repr.tseutal.ive body, tu which all workmen yield Implicit obedience, met at Tumaqua last Monday, but their action has not been made public. The same body holds meetings every two or three days, and is lu constaut conference with leading operators lor the purpose or negotiating a scale of prices. The general linpresslou is that au arrangement will be ellected mutually satisfactory to employers aud employed, in the course of next week, and that operations, at farthest, will bo re sumed by the 1st of July, lu the meantime, the price of coal on hand is likely to continue to advance, and consumers should purchase only for their immediate wants. Thus far, In Reading, the advance on coal has been about fl per toM compared with what it was when ths strike commenced. A DESTERATE MAN. Attempt to Arrrnt a .MinHoitrl IIimhvThnchrr sbnrp I'lutitlnK-Oiic Man Killed and Two Wounded. A special despatch from St. Louis, dated yesterday, says: The St. Louts Time savs that Information has been received at the oltlce of the Chief of Police id a desperate in tempt to arrest the notorious bushwhacker, Sam Illldebruiid, whose entiles during the war made him an object of general hatred ami tear. It appears that .lames .McLean, of Washing ton county ovho was one of lilldchraiid's victims), snw him standing lu his own door-yard, near Itig River Mills, on the 4th Instant, and ilred a revolver, wounding him seriously In the thigh. Itclng alone, McLean returned to town for reinforcements, dur ing which time Jiildchranil made his escape, and was lost sight of until Thursday last, when Mr. Itreckeu rldge, the Sherltr of Washington county, received Inloruiatleti that he was at his uncle's house, about twelve miles south of lrondale, lu St. Krancls county. On Friday, with a force of sixteen olllcers, the Slieritf surrounded the house nnd demanded a surrender. Hildctirand gave no reply, but, reaching his arm out of the, window, took deliberate aim and shot Mr. llreckeliridge seriously iu the groin aud slightly wounded another of the party. Word was then sent to lrondale, I'otosl, and Desoto for reinforcements, nnd iu obedience to the tele gram Chief of l'olice Lee detailed Sergeant Howen and Officers Voorls and Macpieen to nssist in the capture. They left on the 4 P.M. train of Friday, lu the meiiuti'me nearly two score or deputies went to llrcckenrlilge's assistance, ami, taking refuge in the woods and adjacent, houses, kept up a continual tire on the log cabin in which llildebraiid had sought shelter, nnd to which a return tire was given, Willi little dniiinge on either side. About 6 o clock in the evening .McLean, iu tint midst, of a hot tire, climbed up the roof of iiildebrand's house, and succeeded In setting fire to the roof by means or cotton and turpentine balls. He then descended from the roof, aud, entering the house, commenced tiring at llildebraiid through the chinks, but was soon struck In the breast and instantly killed by a bullet I mm Iiildebrand's revolver. From this tune up to 8 o'clock, a period of two hours, nothing was done except to keep a close watch ou the pre mises. At 8 o'clock, llildebraiid crawled out of the back door and escaped to the woods unseen by the sixteen men who surrounded the house. During the cross-tiring, llildebraiid was wounded several times, but it is supposed no, very seriously. The St. Louis police force did not reach tho scene or action until Saturday morning, and are, there fore, not responsible for the escape of Illldebrand. The country olllcers believe that llildebraiid had on a bullet-proof vest, but It Is more probable that the shots tired at him were wild and un steady. Hut little Is known of llildebraiid s history until the breaking out of the war In 1861, when he became associated with Quantrell In the guerilla service, and during the progress of the war In South east Missouri he is asserted to have been guilty of repeated acts of cruelty. It Is rumored that he robbed McLean of a considerable sum of money and then ravished his sister. In lSiHi he was in command of a small cavalry force at Ricliwoods, and not long thereafter absolutely quartered an old man and com pelled his aged wife to witness the butchery. On the following day one of his associates was captured near 8L Aubert, and, after a drum-head court-martial of fifteen minutes' duration he was condemned to death, and fell pierced with eight Mlnle balls. A party from this city will start In Immediate pur suit of llildebraiid, and It is believed he will be captured. fi: a:ce a:i commerce. Office of the Kvenino Tet.eoraph.I Monday, June 14, 1869. ( The local Money market works a little close to-day, with a somewhat active demand, but the batiks pro fess to be well supplied with currency, and lend and discount trcely to regular customers, but in relation to outside paper they are evidently shortening sail. The public sentiment Is pretty eveuly divided lie tween satisfaction and dissent at the course or the Secretary of the Treasury In relation to the weekly gold sales and his disposition or the proceeds. There are very many who believe that the temporary with drawal of a million and a quarter of currency from circulation every week must create a stringency In the end, and seriously alfect the crop movements of the Northwest, whilst others directly charge to this short-sighted policy the present excitement prevail ing In the New York market. It Is a subject of very great Importance, and we trust that Mr. Boutwell w ill investigate the matter thoroughly, and change or continue his course as the best Interests of the na tion may demand. Call loans are quite firm at 5J6 per cent,, accord ing to collaterals, and discounts at 6a)S per cent. lor prime mercantile paper. The (Jovernment loan market is dull and prices are unchanged.

"A feature of the week was the sudden stringency of the money market on Thursday lait, when as high as a quarter of one per cent, per day interest was paid on cull. There was a moderation or these rates to gold interest, and exceptionally seven per cent, on Saturday; but It is yet a singular state of things that in June, when money has been worth only three and four per cent., It should command these exorbi tant rules. The fact Is the money market Is in an unhealthy state, and w hether tho blame lies Willi Mr. Boutwell ror Increasing his currency balance to the detriment or the business Interests or the city, or whether It is the result or artlllchil Influence, or a combination or these with tlie natural drain of currency to supply a brief de mand from the couutry districts, from the watering places, In their process of renovation, and tor the gathering of the wijul crop and the like, it Is dis- crodltablejto ns as a people that such ma' tors should occasion so much derangement. No cliqnes onght to be able to make even a seven per cent, money market In June, while the withdrawal of the trifling stuns required for the wool crop or for tho prepara tion of summer resorts should not be felt in the least. The banks on Saturday showed a disposition to contract, and they too are likely to cause spasmodic tltictuntlons; for whllo no day Is as yet specified, It Is only reasonable to expect that the Comptroller of the Currency will soon call for their second statement. Mr. Boutwell meant right In trying to tight the gold gamblers, and counted upon a summer of ease In money, but he has been unfor tunate In being overtaken by so many unlooked-for accidents to the snfe working or his plan. Congress . will not meet again betore December to give us new laws for a readjustment of the currency. Hence the prospect for the remainder or the year Is not a very nattering one. Here is a very simple question if money is worth an eighth and a quarter per cent. In June, what will it be worth In September and Oc tober? "The bank statement presented on Saturday was certainly not a favorable one, but the street had been , led to look for such a very bad one that It appeared favorable by contrast. There Is a decrease ol nearly two aud a hair millions iu legal-tenders and a trilling pain in specie. The loans have been contracted ubout tour millions, showing the elfect of the heavy 'drop' in stocks during the week and the efforts of the bunks to place themselves on a more conservative footing. Tho deposits have fallen off over $.ooo,imki mid the circulation Increased $t00,oo). The loss In legal-tenders represents the payments Into the Siib-Tieasury for the gold sold by the Government and the payments of Internal reve nue taxes. The specie Item shows that tho exports thereof and the payments for customs were Just equal to the disbursements of the Treasury. The de crease in deposits Is the sequence of tho contraction in loans. The totals or the last two statements are contrasted as follows: Jttnr 6. Jttn 12.
