General, and our entire army, for your generous conduct up to the present time, for the affection which you have shown to tbe Holy See, and for your willingness to consecrate yourselves entirely to the defense of this metropolis May these words be a solemn document to certify to the discipline, the loyaltv, and the valor of the army in the service of this Holy See. As far as regards the duration or tbe defense, I feel It my duty to command that this shall only con sist in such a protest as shall testify to the violence done to us, and nothing more. In other words, that negotiations for surrender shall be opened so soon as a breach shall have been made. At a moment in which the whole of Europe Is mourning over tbe numerous victims of the war now in progress between two great nations, never let It be said that the Vicar of Jesus Christ, however on justly assailed, had to give his convent to a great shedding of blood. Our cause Is the cause of Gad, and we put our whole defense In His hands. From h y heart, General, 1 bless you and your whole army. Pics Papi IX. From the Vatican, Sept. 19. IMPERIAL FRANCE. Ftlvnte Correspondence f Napoleon 111 In Judication of Policy. From the Journal Officielot September l the latest Paris Issue received by balloon post in Havre, we extract the following: "The first instalment of documents found among the correspondence and capers of tbe imperial family was published to-day- The Government has believed it to be its duty to publish these documents without commentary, and with that impartiality which appertains to history. The importance of four of these papers prompts as to publish them, at loast In part. The lust of them only proves too plainly the facts so often alllrmed by the men who have at present the honor to preside over the Govern ment of the country. It is a letter addressed by M. Jecker to M. Contl, Chef du Cabinet of Napoleon III. "Pakis, Dec. 8. 1809 Sir: Do you not think it strange that I prefer addressing myself to you, having to draw your attention to an affair which particularly concerns the Emperor? You will have heard enough about my affair of the Trea sury bonds to know something about It. Very well; I think t he Government are treating ft with too much indifference, and if they do not 1 ay attention unpleasantness to the Emperor will arise from it. You are no doubt ignorant of the fact that my partner in this affa'r was .Ni le Due da Mornv. who had undertaken. In r.on- sideration of thirty per cent, of the profits In the 1. i i . . i i i . f i uuair, w cause n to ue acanuwicugea ana paiu uy the Mexican government, as had been the case from the beginning. Upon this subject there exists a voluminous correspondence with his agent, M. de Marpon. In January of 1801 these gentlemen sent to me a treat of this affair. This arrangement was come to when my house was already in liquidation, so that everything re garding it belongs exclusively to It. As soon as this arrangement was concluded, I was thor oughly supported by the French Government ana its lega ion at Mexico. Tbe latter had even assured my creditors, in the name of France, that the bonds would be fully paid, and had addressed very strongly-worded notes to the Mexican Government upon the subject of the fulfilment of my contract with them, and to the extent that the ultimatum of 1362 required the fulfilment pur tt simple of the decrees. Since that period I have been constantly exposed to tbe hatred of the party in power, who threw me into prison aud finally banished me, after confiscating my property. Tbe affair remained in this state until tbe occu pation of Mexico by the French. Under the Emperor Maximilian, and at the instance ef the French Government, the settlement of my affair was again taken into consideration. In August, 1603. 1 succeeded, aided by French agents, in coming to an arrangement with the Mexican Government. At that period it happened that M. le rue de Moray died, so that the powerful protection that the French Government had ac corded to me ceased completely." A letter by Napoleon first hints at the secret treaty.- Among the letters and projects dictated by Napoleon to bis Chef da Cabinet, the follow- lug letter figures. It throws a light on the de signs and tbe proceedings of the Imperial policy (without date): "If France is to boldly adopt the doctrines of nationalities, it is necessary to maintain hence forth that there is no Belgian nationality with the French nationality, and to establish this essential point with tb French nation. On the other hand, the Cabinet of Berlin, being dis posed to enter Into such arrangements as it may i suit trance to entertain witu it, mere win be occasion to negotiate a secret treaty which will bind both parties. Without relying on this treaty being a perfectly sure guarantee, it would Have the double advantage oi compromsmg Prussia, as being for her a proof of the sincerity of the policy and inten tions of the Emperor. It Is recommended not to hide from ourselves, so long as one knows the character of the King of Prussia and of bis Prime Minister, the fact that the late diplomatic incidents, as well as the actual tendencies of public opinion in France, most have opened their eyes to the circumstance that we have not ceased to claim the frontier of the Rhine. To make sure of meeting with the confi dence which is necessary far tbe mainte nance of intimate ententt; we must employ our selves In dissipating those apprehensions which have always been fostered by tbe expectation of this eventuality, and the apprehensions which have also been awakened oy our late com muni cations. , These results cannot be attained by words; there must be an act (and one which would consist In determining tbe ultimate fate of Belgium) in concert with Prussia; by proving at Benin that Abe Emperor la really looklurf elsewhere than on tne liuine lor tbal extension necessary to ranee. After the events which have recently transpired in Germany, this will gain for us at least a relative certainty that the rrussiaa Government win not place any obsta cle in tie way of our aggrandizement in the north'.'. .' -s '- - THE COOLIE TRAFFIC. Inhuman Treatment of Chinese En'cniliM jihlpbnnra. The Honolulu correspondent of the San Fran cisco Bulletin, under date of September 3, fur nishes tbe following: "On the forenoon of the 20th tilt, it was rumored that forty-three coolies, from th Do'.eres Ugarte, were in a house back of the old Liberty Hall premises. Learning this, a citizen secured the services of an interpreter and pro ceeded to the premises. The Bight presented on entering the yard was enough to excite the sym pathy and indignation of any man. Some of the unfortunates were lying in the sun waiting their turn for washing, unable to move hand or fool. Others were in tbe hands of some natives who placed them in a tub and poured water upon them. Several of the parties were stripped in the presence of different witnesses, and afforded a sight only equalled by the representations in tbe American papers of the Andersonvllle and Belle Isle prisoners during the recent rebellion. One bad died and was burled. The poor ema ciated creatures gave indubitable evidence of 'man's inhumanity to man.' Twelve were in the last stage of decay, some with ship fever, others with diarrhoea. Two at least had ulcers in the corner of their eves so far advanced as to render them blind for life. "The Interpreter questioned them regarding the incidents of the voyage, after which be asked them if they desired to return to the ship, and all who could answered in the nega tive. Tbey were then asked if they wished to remain on these Mauds, and the answer was in the allirmative. The interpreter was then in structed to say to them that they could remain here: that there was no law which would com- Cel them to return to the ship. The joy evinced y them more than repays the trouble and an noyance experienced by the parties who be. friended them. Knowing the excited condi tion of the Chinese, and of tbe natives who were witnesses to the sufferings of the coolies, and also aware of the resources of the agents of the ship which would be called Into action to re consign the poor creatures to a slavery from which death would be a happy deliverance, If they were aware of the intended exodus, it was determined to take such steps as would prevent a mob or riot. Tbe leading Chinese wete made aware of the wish of their countrymen to remain here, and they immediately repaired to the house where tbe coolies were kept, and in a short time some thirty were removed to different localities. During the afternoon tbe remaining twelve were removed In carts. Tbe removal of the sickest ones was only determined upon after a full con sideration of existing circumstances. It was thought that they could be made comforta ble elsewhere, and the risk of death was thought to be lessened, as to leave them was to insure their removal to the ship, where death was sure to follow. It fact, the captain of the slave-ship declared that he did not care for tbe loss of these men. as they would have died before reaching Callao. The parties who inte rested themselves In behalf of the coolies were hastened somewhat from the fact that the Minister of Foreign Relations and Second Asso ciate Justice of the Supreme Court were seen in close confab with the agents, and knowing that their sympathies were entirely with the 'master,1 prompt action was considered essential to success. Until the ship had left it was deemed prudent not to betray the whereabouts or tne now irecmen. livery means calculated to promote Ihc comfort of all, and the recovery of the sick, were takes, which could be." ANOTHER ARRIVAL OF COOLIES. The Adeertiw 6avs that on the 29th of Autust the San Salvador ship Louisa Carnevaro, ju&u tons, captain uemoro, arrived in 50 days from Macao, having on board 700 coolies. This snip presents a marked, contrast to tbe Dolores Ugarte. Although we know that the traffic is all one in essence, there are degrees of humanity exercised iu prosecuting It. Tbe coolies on board this snip are allowed tne utmost freedom of action, going below or remaining on deck at win. me between deck is admirably ventilated. There have been but two deaths on board. There were no evidences of coercion iu sight. The captain states that if one of his men strikes a coolie he is put in irons; that the officers are distinctly commanded, In case of disagreement, to carry tbe coolie with tbe lnterpseter to the cabin, where the case is fully Investigated and the guilty party punished. A SPECK OF 1YAR. The St. Clair Canal Trouble The British Flag Frmn the Detroit Free Press, Oct. 18. There was a rumor current yesterday forenoon that the Canadian Government had taken formal possession of the St. Clair Flats Ship Canal, and tbe rumor was in the afternoon developed a sure fact. Monday afternoon, acting under orders from tho Government at Ottawa, the gunboat Prince Alfred arrived at the canal from Colllng wood, having on board the Hon. Mr. Langevln, Minister of Public Works, and other Canadian officials, and proceeded to take formal possession of the works, hoisting the British flag as evidence of their earnestness. The Prince Alfred came down during the night, lying off Windsor, and yester day morning the action taken by the officials was telegraphed to the Ottawa government. Boon after the gunboat weighed anchor for the Flats, where she was stationed all day yester day, her presence and the flying British flag causing much wonderment to mariners. Some of tbe city officials of Windsor were of the party who went up yesterday, and those officials left at home were greatly pleased over what they chose to call "British pluck." They argued that the Dominion Government would hold tbe canal until the question of ownership was fully and finally decided, and perhaos it will. There was any amount of excitement among mariners and ship owners last evening, na every Yankee met with had his knapsack ready packed for call. Tbe local effect will be to cause much excitement, and it may be hard to restrain the impatience of our people until the question can be settled by diplomacy. The Toronto Telegraph of yesterday has the follow October 10. The guntwat Prince Alfred has arrived here with Hon. Mr. Langevln. n the way dow n she took possession of the canal built by the Americans on the St. Clair flats and hoisted the British nag. The Associated Press ' yesterday afternoor. de spatched the folio sing, dated at Windsor, to all points in the country : The gunioat Prince Alfred has arrived with Langevln, Minister of Public Works, on board. The vessel came through the new ship canal constructed by the American Government on tbe St Clair Flats. and the Minister took formal possession of tbe wons on tan pan oi tne uomuiion Government, hoisting thw British flag.

(Senator Cameren's Despatch to the President on tbe Pennsylvania Election -A Malicious Hoax The Despatch Supposed to Have ileen Hen I by Cameron Tbe Election. Correspondence of The Evening Telegraph, Washington, Oct. 13 When one of your city contemporaries arrived here this evening containing what purported to be a despatch from Secator Cameron to the President on the Pennsylvania election, it excited much com ment in political circles. The despatch, as pub lished, was as follows: "This Slate is right side up. The Allegheny district we have carried by a sweeplh'g majority over Copperheads and bolters combined. Luzerne defeats Woodward and gives us a Re publican Congressman. Klllinger, Republican, succeeds Cake, and toe hold our own everywliere else. O'Neill is said to be beaten, but it he is, he Is supplanted by a good Republican and a sol dier. The Legislature is decidedly Republi can." Upon reading the foregoing I was satisfied that It was a malicious hoax put up on the venerable Pennsylvania Senator, and I made minute Inquiry Into the facts of the case. I found that a despatch had been sent by Came ron to the President, but it was shockingly mutilated In the publication. After great labor and sacrifice, I procured a copy of the true despatch and hasten to send it to your many readers. I may not have got it with literal accuracy, but it was about as follows: To the J'resident to be sent free of charge). flARRisBVRG, Oct 12 7 P. M. This State Is certainly right side up, but there are various opinions as to which is the right side, and also some doubts as to which 6ide is up. My rule is always to call the upper side the right side, and therefore, under my skillful management of the campaign, the State is right side up. McClure, always obstinate and facetious, thinks differ ently; but It would be well for you not to pay any attention to him. We have certainly carried the hitherto doubt ful counties of Allegheny and Lancaster over Copperheads and bolters combined. They have both voted Democratic within the last seventy years. You will see, therefore, with what skill I have managed the State. I have reliable in formation that McClure opposed the ticket in both those counties, but he is utterly powerlese In the State. You should discard him entirely. We have probabl y lost from four to six mem bers of Congress, and more than half our ma jority in the Legislature; but I wish yon to understand that every man who is elected was elected by my efforts, and all who were beaten were defeated because I did not care for them. The rules applies to all our Congressmen. We have this advantage in the loss of Republican Congressmen their defeat gives you and me more offices to dispose of to our particular friends. McClure approved every man who Is elected, and favored every man who is beaten. Ills force in the State must be broken. Strike at his friends. Recall Curtln and appoint a rela tive of mine or yours to the place. Something must be done. Can you, pray ? The State Is certainly lost on the popular vote, but that is an advantage and a direct en dorsement of my policy and your administra tion. As most of my appointments are mere guerrilla appendages to the Republican party, they never can be beaten; they are always with the winning side; and as you are opposed to active Republicans and mere politicians, I can congratulate you on getting rid of very many of them. Any losses tbe party has suffered are distinctly traceable to McClure. lie is a dls organizer and opposed our ticket; but he is shorn of his strength. If be has any strength, why didn't he carry the State ? If he goes to Washington, don't see him. We have lost O'Neill, and I am glad of it. Had be been elected, I would have congratu lated him. ; I was for him if sucoessful, and against him if beaten. I am opposed to all men who are not on the npper side. McClure was for O'Neill go for him lively. Upon the whole, I congratulate you on every Republican elected, and equally on every one beaten. Whenever there was fault, it was McClure's. He drowns my pups as fast as they get their eyes open. lie is a dangerous man, and you should never consult with him. D. H. SlMOIf CAmiron. P. 8 I beg to suggest, in conclusion, beware of McClure.

THIERS IN YIE55A. Rertptlon of tho Freneh ambassador by the Austrian Cabinet Vienna Correspondence of the London Timet. M. Thiers was assured that the changes which have occurred In France hare not altered those feelings of friendship and good-will which had existed under the former Government, but that official recognition was scarcely possible before France herstlf had, by her representatives, re cognized the Provisional Government. No doubt was entertained that this would follow the convocation of the National Convention, but it would be scarcely meet to anticipate this decision of the people of France. Tbe second object which he seemed to have in view was to Induce this Government to give its support to any steps which Russia might think fit to take, in order to get more moder ate terms from Germany. M. Thiers thought this so much tbe more possible, as he did not flatter himself with the hope of getting from Russia more than moral support and a favorable diplo matic representation, in which Austria might join. In what shape and by what means M. Thiers means to bring about this action on the part of Russia, after she has distinctly declined any interference between the belligerents, It would be dillicult to tell, as he was rather re served on that point. So much the more explicit was the answer he received to this suggestion. He was assured that this Government had always been ready to join the other neutral Powers In any effort of friendly mediation. Although this readiness has never been put to the test, It still existed. If, therefore, this Government was offered an opportunity to co-operate in the re-establishment of peace on a durable basis, It would wil lingly seize it, but until it knew in what form Russia might think fit to act, it was Impossible to give any positive assurance. Of course this form could only be that of a friendly media tion, ard M. Thiers was distinctly told that he nust dismiss all idea of finding this county dTspoeed to join Russia or any other power in exercising any pressure on the decision of Germany. Whatever hopes France might have bad or might still entertain to the contrary, they are totally groundless, for it was the firm decision of his Majesty the Emperor from the beginning not to Interfere in tbe quarrel between France and Germany, but to maintain tbe strictest neutrality. If ever any other Impression had been created in France, it was not In the least warranted by anything which bad been said or done here. Whatever communicatians Austria has had with the other neutrals, her only object had been to localize tbe war, and if the good offices of neutrals were required to exert them jointly and in harmony; there had never been the remotest idea of going any further than this. This was plain speaking, and well calculated to dispel any illusion which M. Theirs may Eerhnps still entertain of finding a disposition ere to enter into a combination against the preponderance of Germany and in favor of a re-establishment of tbe so-called balance of power In Europe. M. Thiers was quite right in reckoning, as he seems to do, rather on Prussia than on this country INCIDENTALS.

JTerahU "Xbc'.i.memeTomentiefelt In an nnaeUlins of tho money market, wbich they effected by calling their gold in I be morning, disturbing their own currency engage ments und cufling a general shifting ef loans. Tbeir time was all the better chosen for tae reaion that the street was paying ever a million dollars into the Snb-Treaaary for tbe gold bought there yesterday.wbils tbs Government was disbursing for only a few lota or UoveromenU sent in tbia afternoon. Altbongb the gold movement has no connec tion with tbe money market, at least at this time, wbea tbe rates sis entirely for borrowing gold and not for carrying gold, tbs street was ready to take it that there was, and hence tbs money market, which ia undisturbed by any movement of currency to the Interior and is now as abundantly supplied as it was a few days sinoe and will be better supplied to-morrow when tbs two millions of Government mone somes on tha t rmt suddenly grow feverish and active, and borrowers ran about in searsb of loans until the rate on oaU advanced . to seven per cent, enrrenoy and to seven per cent. gold. Towards 8 o'clock there was a preesuro to lend balances at six per cent, in some portions of the street, while bor rowers in others were late in getting their accommodation at seven. Tbs Government dealers were supplied at six per cent, for aU new loans, wnile their former engage ments at five per cent, were undisturbed.
