Earl Granville Prince Gortschakotf could
onlyrefer to the proposal loraConierruiee Euglaud
had entered into nd combination that could be con
sidered as displaying the slightest hostile iceimj,
to » aid France.
Hovbe op Commons, Monday, March 14. Mr
Roebuck asked as the.Solicitcr-Gei erul had stated
that “it Was the intention of the Government to
remonstrate with tbe Government of tae Con
federate Mates upon their emplovm«'i»t of
agents for illegal .purposes, 1 ’ abo asked
it the Government intended to remonstrate with
the .Federal Government for jeenuiiing m this
country and in Ireland. Mr. RoeWk attacked
the Federal Government, and declared Unit lie
should be glad if American shipping were swept
from the sees, lie said the characterui-England ha \
not been upheld as it ought to be upheld!* and that
be had, therefore, a right ‘to inquire whether »he
strict neutrality professed by the Government had
been jnaiiunincd. In this matter/ he stud, the
honor of England was at &tske.
Lord Palmerston said that the Government had
remonstrated on tbe subject, and prosecniious had
be*n instituted, and there would be no backward
ness bn their part in vindicating tbe honor of the
counirv.
Mr. Blight said Mr. Roebuck's speech was un
worthy of any member of vhe House.
Mr. Cecil thought there was plenty of reason for
remonstrating with tbe Fcderals.
Mr Kinglake .condemned Mr. Eobuck’s attack,
and lidiculed his pretensions.
The Times of Monday in a leaderbays: There is
very good reason to believe, though the
cannot yet be announced as absolutely certain, that
the Conference which Englandhas soearnestlv en
deavored to call together, will, after all, actually
assemble. The last Opportunity is thus given lor
the nations of Europe to put an end to a state of
affairs, the tension of which is becoming dav bv
day more and more insupportable, and to-prevent
the catastrophe which otherwise cannot be'much
longer deiened.

FRANCE.
The Mfmc-rial Diploma:u>iu says:—The draught
of a treaty was agreed upon at the Tmlenes to be
ratified as soon as the Empetor Maximilian shall
have asecudrd tbe Mexican throne. and announced
his accession to the Court ol the Tuuerie*. If wo
are rightly informed, the treaty definitely settle?
two important questions : firstly, the French occu
pation ; and secondly, the 'claims of the French
treasury on the Mexican Government. It is
already known that the pay and maiui-nacce of
the-roops engaged in the expedition have, since
January Ist. l£o4, been borne bv Mexico. This
wiil continue uMil their recall, which will gra
dually be affected as the regunental lists of the
Mexican army-are completed.
Three battalions of thi* foreign legion, each *2.00u
strong and composed of enrolled volunteers will
remain in the service ol Mexfco. The desire oi
French officers to enter this service is se great that
for some weeks past the number of asmrants has
far exceeded the ranks to be filled up. * The Mexi
can debt due to France comprises, besides-the pe
cuniary claims of private persons, duly acknowl
edged, the cost of the expedition and the advances
made by France to tbe Mexican treasury to defray
the expenses of the army of occupation. The debt
will be paid by fourteen annual instalments, each
probabh amounting to 825.1*00.0CO,wLth tbe option
of previous liquidation, should the condition of
the Mexican finance s admit of it. Accordin rr to
another statement of the * -Memorial, ’ ’ ail the
Mexican prisoners of war in Franco have submit
ted in writing their anherioffi-’to the Archduke’s
government previous to his departure for Lon
don.
Despatches from Vera Crnz of February 14, state
thi t the report of the abdication of Juarez, which
had been circulated, is unfounded. The cruise of
Admiral Basse has been productive of very satis
factory results. It is asseried that the Federate
have violated Mexican territory by going to Mata
it.otis in oTder to seize cotton.
The Duke of Saxe Ooburg leaves Paris on the
11th lor Germany.
The Payi says: Bavaria will puisne the same
policy as hitherto with regard to the question of
the Duchies. King Louis considers his first duty
to be the iulfilment ot his father’s last wishes.
La alluding to tho rumors of a conference,
says—England and Rnssia are endeavoring to in
duce Denmark to accept an armistice on the haste
oi uti possidetis. The two armies would remain
during the Conferences in tne same positions they
now occupy. England and Russia point to the
reiterated declarations by Rnssia and Austria of
their intention to respect the integrity of Denmark.
Prussia and Austria are acting upon the Confede
ration to bring abont its acceptance of the Opnie
renee upon the basis above mentioned.
; The Paris com marker was well supplied with
farmers’ wheat last week, and sellers were forced

Card.— Hats.— The new
shapes for Spring wear are now ready. Gen
tlemen are respectfully invited to call and examine
them. It is believed that the styles now being of
fered will prove very pleasing. The brims are
made narrower than heretofore, conforming
in this respect to the best fashions
of London and Paris, and m com
pliance with the exnresstd wish of many
who give attention to matters of dress in this city
as well as in New York. Broader brims vail be
k#pt in stock, or made to order for those who desire
them.
The prices of silk, as well as felt hats, have
necessarily advanced. Nearly every article en
tering into their construction being either prepared
. ox produced abroad, can consequently be bought
oniy with gold or its equivalent. Such is the en
hanced cost of material and labor that the very
lowest grade of silk hat (when made of new stock)
cannot be retailed for less than five dollars. Every
endeavor has been made to maintain the quality,
and to keep near to the prices of the times pre
ceding the rebellion.
Present prices for Jine dress hats are now S 8 and
ST. For blocking or xefluishing hats an increase of
price is also made necessary.

THE EMANCIPATION PSOCLAMATIOH _
The following interesting piece of hist- rv re
specting the Atbi draft of the ever-memorable pro
nJ*vi allo ?- of e , m » nc jP a tion, and the reception of it
by Mr—Lincoln s Cabinet is given in a recent
letter to the Cincinnati Gazette by its Washington
eorresponaent:
When the Anal draft of the proclamation was
presette d by the President to the Cabinet, it close*
with the paragraph stating that the slaves it libe
rated would be received into the armed service of
the Lnued States. Mr. Chase objected to -the ap
pearance of a document of such momentous-im
portance without one word heyond the dry phrases
necessary to convey its meaning: and finally pro
posea that ihere be added to the President's draft
the JOUowing sentence:
“And upon this act, sincerely believed to be air'
act of jnsuce, warranted by the Constituiton, I In
voke the considerate judgment of mankind and tha
gracious favor of Almighty God. ”
Mr. Lincoln adopted the sentence as Mr. Chase
wrote it, only interlining after the word < -ConsU
tutton,” the words, “upou military necessity*?’
and in that form the Proclamation went to th*
■world, and History.
The President originally resolved npoxrthe policy
of issuing this proclamation in the summer oflS®;
As he has expressed it himself, everything was
going wrong; we seemed to have pnt forth our uU
most effort; and he really didn’t know what more
to do, unless he did this. Accordingly, he pre
pared the preliminary proclamation, nearly in the
lorm m wh ch it. subsequently appeared, called
the Cabiret together and read It to them.
Mr. Montgomery Blair was startled. “If von
issue that proclamation, Mr. President, > ’ he ex.
‘ ‘yon will lose every one of the fhll elec-'
Mr. Seward, on tha other hand, said **T ap
prove of it, Mr. President, jnstasit stands. lap
prove of it in principle, |and I approve the-policy
of issuing it. I only object to the time. Send it
out now, on the heels of our late disasters, and it
will be construed as the convulsive svngeleof a.
drownung man. To give It proper weight, yon
should reserve u till alter some victory. ’ ?
The President assented to Mr. Seward's view,
and it was withheld till the Fall, when it wits
issued almost precisely as originally prepared,
ihe one to which Mr. Chase supplied the con.
eluding sentence was the final. Proclamation,
issued on the subsequent firet of January.

CITY RAILROADS.
To the Editor off the Evening Bulletin.
I thank yon for opposing the proposed.
“Union Railroad,” for I have met with no
resident of the lower end of the City who is in
favor of such a road being built, and of course no
one who is in favor of its being chartered for mere
speculative purposes.. I reside upon Broad
street below-Wharton street, and with the other
citizens of this rapidly improving section of the-
City, feel the want of better Passenger Railway
accommodation, but cannotsee any prospect of it,
frem this contemplated company. Let the Thir
teenth and Fifteenth line be extended to Seed or
Dickerson streets, the same as theFifthandiSixth,
and the Fourth and Eighth street lines, and if a
new road is necessary to accommodate the people
below South street, let one be chartered to run
simply from River to River, and every nsefnl
purpose will be attained.
