BIERSTADT'S GREAT PIOTERE.—We are
glad to announce that our citizens are to
have an opportunity to see Mr. Bierstadt's
great picture of " A Storm in the Rocky
Mountains," before it goes to England, the
-artist having generously consented to its
sxhibitiowin Philadelphia for a short sea
son, for the benefit of the Lincoln Institute,
the new new Home for Soldiers' and Sailors'
'Orphans. Messrs. Wenderoth, Taylor &
'Brown, the well-known photographers,have
.kindly appropriated one of their galleries
for the purpose, and this splendid work of
. art will be exhibited there on and after the
'2ot.b. of this month. The " Storm in the
Rocky Mountains " is too well known as
the master-piece of Mr. Bierstadt's genius,
to need anything but the simple announce
ment that we are to have a chance to enjoy
:Its beauties. The generosity and patriotism
that have prompted the distinguished artist
- to exhibit it for so worthy a cause, deserve
- the warmest praise.

(Correspondence of tile New York Herald.l
BROWNSVILLE March 17th, 1866.—The
Ranchero, of Matamoros, an ultra imperial
rebel sheet, in its issue of the 11th, has the
following:
We have information from Monterey of a
thoroughly reliable character to the Ist in
stant.
Gen. Jeaningros:has been busily engaged
since his entrance into Monterey scouring
the country and clearing.it of those lawless
characters who still cling to the idea that
the ends of government can be defeated.
Gen. Jeaningros has had two engagements,
completely routing the enemy, resulting in
tho establishment of peace for a long dis
tance around Monterey. There was not a
robber band between that place and Chian.
Gen. Douay had not arrived at Monterey,
but it was expected he would enter the place
with 9,000 men on the 4th inst., which we
have no doubt he did, possibly one or two
days later than the time mentioned. Gen.
Douay's army is on the way to this border;
and we are assured that twelve or fifteen
thousand men will be distributed along this
river, should so large a force be necessary
to preserve the peace. There is no doubt
that the end of our border troubles is not a
cable's length distant.
The same paper of date the 13th says: W e
are in possession of late and important in
formation from the interior. General Douay
with his whole army entered Saltillo on the
4th inst. The imperial contra guerillas,
under command of Dupin, had reached
Victoria. Upon Dupin approaching Victo
toria Juan Jose de la Garza left for San Fer
nando. Juan Cortina has gone to meet
Garza at the latter place. Speculation is
unnecessary; for the most stupid and obdu
rate ought to comprehend the result from
the present standpoint of view. The impe
rialists hold Chihuahua, Monterey, Victoria
and Matamoras, numbering fully twenty
thousand veteran troops. In their steady
approach upon this border they will close
every avenue of outlet. It is unnecessary
to say to the people on this robber-infested
border, "the day of your deliverance is at
hand."
On the 14th still later "reliable" informa
tion: had been received, embodied by the
same gracious journal, as follows—Parties
just arrived from Monterey, which . place
they left on the Bth instant, bringing
us the information that an import
ant movement was on foot,
only waiting to complete transportation ar
rangements. Two thousand men were un
der marching orders, but in what direction
is only matter of conjecture, though the
general understanding was that they were
heading for the Rio Grande. The town of
Parras was reported besieged by the enemy.
and General Douay had despatched a co
lumn in that direction to put them to flight.
The place was being held by an imperial
force one hundred and fifty strong. Gene
ral Douay is reported having divided his
army into several commands, any one of
which will be stronger than the entire force
of the enemy in Northern Mexico.
The facts are that Monterey is much in
the same position as Matamoras—practi
cally in a state of siege; nor can any save
armed parties, in considerable force, go a
league beyond the city save by favor of the
liberal chiefs in the vicinity.
When armed bands are sent out to
encounter the liberals the latter are not to
be found. Knowing that no practical good
can follow an engagement they invariably
avoid it, moving through the bypaths in the
chapparal. where it is impossible to follow
them. No engagements have taken place
in that vicinity.
General Douay, with about one thousand
men, started from Bailin° for ' Monterey
during the early part of this month.
There were at the time about two hundred
French troops at Parras, and a small force
of imperialists (natives) at a small place not
far distant. The French cothmander formed
a plan for the capture of a certain band of
liberals, and sent a courier to the com
• mender of the native troops directing him
to be at a certain point at such a time. The
courier was captured and the Frenchman,
upon arriving at the point designated, was
met by a largely superior force of the repub
licans and completely routed. Report has
it'd:let his entire command was placed hors
du combat. One hundred and fifty cases of
ammunition and a quantity of supplies
were captured.
The liberals then proceeded against the
native imperialists, who, upon' their an
proach, followed the usual custom, placing
a white band around their hats, in indica
-tion of a change of sentiment, and imme
diately joined the ranks of their old ene
mies. The leader managed to escape.
Obtaining a knowledge of these facts Gen.
Donay immediately changed his direction,
marching towards Parma, and leaving the
pacification of the frontier indefinitely post
poned. These facts are well authenticated,
having been brought by parties direct from
Monterey: They are known to imperial
ists, including the Ranchero, but carefully
suppressed, as not in accordance with the
imperial theory (French and Austrian) that
the country is quiet.
Opening the Roads.
The business men of Monterey, who are
in the best position to judge of the prospect
for the opening of the roa i s, have no confi
dence in the success of thefforts announced
to be made,
and which the activity of the
liberals in the interior has for the present
postponed. A merchant residing there, un
derlodate of March 7, writes to his corre
spondent in Matamoras to _dispose of his
large stock of goods in the latter place, as
there was no prospect of getting them to the
interior, and he could afford to hold them
no longer.
Another, under the same date, while care
fully excluding all allusion to politics, closes
his letter with the remark. do not see
much probability of the road to Matamoras
getting clear for some time to come."' '
In despite of every assurance to the con-

irary, Ism satisfied that there will be little
change in.the condition of affairs in North.
ern Mexico during the present season, and
in this opinion I am sustained by the leading
business men of Matamoras of all parties.
Meeting of.the lfferchants.
The,merchants of that city recently held
a meeting to consult on the state of affairs,
and, after some discussion, waited on Gen.
Mejia with several propositions, the first of
which was that the old order of things under,
which one-fourth duties should be charged
on all goods crossing into Texas should be
restored. Proposition not entertained. Se
cond. that a certain diminution of the duties
on goods going into the interior should be
made, so that the merchants could afford
to make some arrangements with the out
side party, or "the outlaws." Strange to say
this truly Mexican Idea was not thought
Worthy of adoption. Third, that permission
be granted to send goods to Vera. Cruz, du
ties to be paid there. Assented to, provided
bonds were given that the goods sho aid
go to the port designated.
In closing, the General kindly intimated
to the anxious men of traffic that' conspira
cies would not be tolerated and that the La
guna was close at hand. The reader will
bear in mind that all executions most of
which are of a very summary character,
take place in the plain known as the La
guna, just outside of the city. The mer
chants retired silent and sombre.
Forced Loomis.
It will be recollected that about the Ist of
January last, a forced loan was levied by
General Mejia, for which drafts upon
Vera Cruz were given. It was subsequently
announced by the Alatamoras journals,with
a loud flourish, that these drafts were paid,
which statement was circulated throughout
the United States. Up to this time,however,
they have not been paid, nor is it probable
that they will be. The merchants who paid
the money regard it as lost, and will be only
too happy if not compelled to pay any more,
though it is confidently expected that an
other "loan" will be called for at an early
day. . • _
The Cordova Colony.
A gentleman residing prior to and during
the war in the interior of Alabama has re
cently returned from Cordova. He left the
States in August last, determined never to
submit to the rule of the detested Yankees.
He returns, after six months experience,
satisfied that there are much worse coun
irks than the United States, and perfectly
content to remain under the Star-Spangled
Banner. Contrary to the account published
in my last, he says that the colony is a com
plete failure, owing to the lack of those two
important elements of success—capital and
labor. There are about thirty Southern
families there, the great majority of whom
acknowledge a desire to return. He speaks
highly of the beauty and productiveness of
the country, bat reiterates the oft-repeated
statement that no protection is afforded by
the government. There has been no attempt
at cultivation, save by General Shelby, who
has his family with him, and is the most
contented of all. Price is there, doing noth
ing, discouraged and sombre. Harris, of
Tennessee, is anxious, yet afraid, to return,
for fear of being imprisoned by hiaold
enemy the parson Governor. Several young
men, who went there soon after the surren
der, swearing to be ever true to "the con
quered banner," have recently returned,
much more amicably disposed to the land
of their birth, sadder and wiser men.
Certainly no one of those now there will
advise others to come; and all the glowing
representations which are palmed off on the
public may be set down as the work of in—
terested speculators.
The Liberals Again near Matamoras.
It is stated that Cortina,-who left the
border some weeks since and proceeded to
San Fernando to join General Garza has
returned; that he has settled his difficulties
with Canales, and that the two have joined
heir forces and are now in the vicinity-of
Matamors. Certain it is that members of
his band have been seen between that city
and Bagdad, and the line of stages running
between the two places has been withdrawn,
as they can no longer run with safety.
The citizen guard in Matamoraa is kept
constantly under arms, and additions are
being made to it daily.
Joined the Liberals.
General Vicente Garcia de la Cadena, of
Zazatecas, and General Miguel Lorada, of
Durango, until of late in the imperial ser
vice, recently abandoned f it and joined the
liberals.
Revolutionary Sympms in Prance.
Not only in the Legislature but elsewhere
the manifestations of public opinion in
France are becoming more open and decided.
'this was shown by several incidents which
accompanied the production of M. Emile
Angler's new play, La Contagion, at the
Odeon, on Saturday evening. The house
was filled with an eager and brilliant audi
ence. In the pit sat the leaders of the Latin
Quarter—Pipe-en-Bois, fierce and dishev
eled, among the number. In the orchestra
stalls and boxeawere the Princess Mathilde,
Count Valewski, M. Fould, Madame George
Sand (behind whom M. Angler was mod
estly concealed), Glais-Bizoin, Jules Favre,
Prevost-Paradol, and other political and
literary celebrities. On the arrival of the
Emperor and Empress there was some slight
applause, mingled with murmurs of "A:bas
Za clapue." A cry from the pit, "How
about the Luxembourg?" "Leave us our
garden!" was received with laughter, and
caused evident agitation among the police.
The rising of the curtain restored silence.
During the first two acts the audience was
quiet and reserved. The third and fourth
acts excited greater interest, but the piece
closed tamely. Altogether, the play was
only a doubtful success. It was the beha
vior of the audience which gave special
interest to the proceedings. Theauthor has
put some remarks rather depreciatory of
the English into the mouths or some of his
characters. One of tthem has designed a
canal which will affect English supremacy
at Gibraltar, and our countrymen arerepre
sented as intriguing unscrupulously against
it. Afterwards,however,the hero exclaims,
"But, after all, the - English are our best
friends, and they are a Free people." A
deafening "Bravo" from Pipe-en-Bois
and his companions in ;the pit was the
signal for general applause, of which
the Emperor seemed to indicate his ap
proval. A few moments later M. Got
quitted the stage, with the words "Il vient
un moment ati les verites baffauees 8' affirment
par des coupes de tonnerre." For several
minutes the performance was suspended,
loud calls for Got to repeat.the phrase, anoi
cries of "Vive les coupes de tonnerre,"
" la revolution." dc. In the fifth act,
an allusion to speculations in land renewed
the exclamations regarding Luxembourg.
During the whole of the representation the
Emperor assumed a cold and impassive at
titude. The Empress, on the contrary, ap
peared to be much amused by the efferves
mace of the pit. The audience continued
its noisy domonstration even in the streets,
and "Vive
,le . , ,Luxembourg," . "Viva la
pepiniere,"'were shouted - after the Imperial
carriage as it rolled away to the Tuileries.
OUR "W r itOlari COI7NTRY.
HAVANA, March 28.—The steamship Vera
Cruz, Captain Murray, from Vera Cruz on
the 23d ult., via Havana on the2Bth, arrived
at this port last night. We are indebted to
the purser for favors. The Spanish steamer
Pebayo, from St. Domingo on the 18th inst.,
arrived here yesterday. I give you an ab
stract: The Governor of the province of
St. Domingo bad given notice to all persons
able to bear arms to report themselves, so
that the government may avail of their ser
vices. The National Congress was installed
on the Bth, the election for President having
resulted in favor of Valentin Ramirez Baez;
the Vice President chosen being M. Curie'.
The House of Representatives had no quo
rum that day.
The following is a record of what has been
done in Congress: On the Bth the President
issued his message; on the 9th the reports of
the Secretaries of State were read before a
lull House, and the respective committees
were appointed to report thereon, as well as
to frame a reply to the message; on the 10th
Congress received another message from
the President, stating that public order had
hcen disturbed on the southern frontiers
and that the disturbances were becoming of
a serious nature. He further, pointed out
the impossibility for him to dictate the steps
or the necessary means to remedy the evil,
in view of the limited action to which the
actual compact confined him. Congress im
mediately named a committee to investigate
and take matters of so much importance in
to consideration, and called in the help of
various citizens to aid in their labors. On
the 11th the committee gave in their report.
On the 12111 two decrees were promulgated
—one declaring the provinces of Azua
and St. Domingo in a state of siege, and
authorizing the President to incur the ne
cessary expenditure for mobilizing the
national guard to restore order; the other
sanctioning an extraordinary issue of
Treasury notes by tit eßoard of Credit (Junta
de Credito) to the extent of one hundred
thousand dollars, in the same form and
with the same guarantees as were conceded
by the decree of the Protectorate of the 28th
or October, 1865, to be placed at his disposal.
On the 13th there was no session. The 14th
was principally occupied with the report
presented by the Committee on Justice and
Public Instruction, which committee was ,
composed of Messrs. Guzman, Herrera and
Concha.
From private letters we learn that the re
volutionists call for the downfall of Baez
and the appointment of General Cabral.
The towns of Cibas, San Cristobal; Los
JD:des, Santiago and two or three more had
revolted, all headed by a certain Carlos
Hedon, who, being encouraged by the Hay
liens, were anxious to make war on the Do
minicans and annex St. Domingo to Hayti.
On the frontier there had been encounters
between the troops of both countries. •
President Baez, who in all this recognizes
the hand of Garrard, bad sent a note invit
ing him to establish a diplomatic negotiation
between one Cabinet and the other, should
Garrard be so disposed.
A son-in-law of Baez, whom the Presi
dent had sent to fight the insurgents, went
over to their aide at the cry of "Down with
Baez!" •
Santiago de los Caballeros was in the
power of the insurgents. A certain Del
Monte and a priest sent to pacify therevolu
tionists were made prisoners.
Baez had given a blow to his enemies in
San Cristobal, by defeating them and
making one hundred and seventy prison
ers, and he then sent some armed men to
reinforce the frontier.
Generals Echavarria and Curial, besides
a private individual, were harbored by the
British Consulate, although it was not
stated why. They had applied for their
passports to leave the country.
The Tiempo of the 15th says:—Public
order has nearly been restored. Govern
ment has dictated certain measures to quell
'he movement, and on the 13th troops ar
rived from Montegrande to garrison the
place and sustain the actual government,
The battalions of Seybo and other eastern
points are expected every moment, and we
believe that the insurrection which broke
out in the jurisdiction of San Cristobal
will be confined to that small section.
There are men daily coming in from the
revolutionary ranks, to which' they had
been decoyed by surprise. They declare
their submission to the government and
their desire that order may be restored.
Several merchants of Puerto Plata have
suggested the expediency of the French
steamer Caraibe coming to that port.
Preparations for War in Austria—She
Will Assume the Offensive if Hostilities
Commence. •
[Vienna (March 1?) Correspondence of the London
Times.]
Although the results of the Military Con
ferences which have just been held here are
kept from the knowledge of the public, it is
a patent fact that preparations for war are
being made M all parts of the empire. In
order that there may be no unnecessary
outlay, the men on furlough will be allowed
to remain where they are until their ser
vices are required, but they have received
instructions to be prepared to join their re-,
spective regiments at .a day's notice. It is
not likely that a large army of observation
will be posted in Bohemia, as considerable
detachments of troops are being placed
en 4chelon in the vicinity of the various rail
way stations. The officers who had leave
of absence have received orders to join their
regiments immediately, and all of them
seem to be eager for the approaching fray,
though they are well aware that the Prus
sian artillery is superior to their own. The
Austrian cavalry is magnificent, and should
an opportunity present itself, it will hardly
fail to render good service. In Hungary
very many remounts have been purchased
for the artillery, and in various parts of the
empire lists.have been made of the homes

with Prussia has led to such a panic that
Government stock bearing five per cent.
interest Was yesterday quoted at 5630. A
day or two ago a member of the Diplomatic
Corps asked M. Von Beke,the chief of a sec
tion in the Finance Departnaent,hovr Austria
could think of going to war without money.
The reply to the ,uestion was, that as soon
as a shot is fired Austria will be obliged to
issue State notes (assignats),payable in Ber
tin.of the nominal value of 50 or 100 millions
of florins. The Vienna financiers are too de
, pressed tobe able to appreciate M.Von Beke's
wit. Count Larish, the Austrian Minister,
of Finance, has • just received a proof that
Prussia is also making preparation for war.
The Count employed several Prussians in
some coal mines which he has in Austrian
Silesia, and a few days ago the men re
ceived orders to return home immediately,
in'order - that they might be enrolled in the
army. It is here believed that the policy of
Piussia in the Elbe Duchies would undergo
a change if Count Bismark would quit office;
but the German statesmen and diplomatists
who, doubtless, are well informed on the
subject, are not of the same opinion. They
matntain that the Prussians, as a nation,
wish for the annexation of Schleswig-Hol

The Vienna correspondence of the Augs

wanting that people are not deceived as to
the gravity df the situation, it would be
found in the confidential intimation given
io the papers, in accordance with article 9
of the press h}w, to abstain from all com

The Debatte of Vienna says that the
British Cabinet sent a dispatch to Berlin,
pointing out in very strong terms the grave
responsibility which would rest upon
Prussia if that Power should provoke a war
in Europe. The Augsburg Gazette pub
lishes a dispatch from London, dated the
15th, announcing the same fact. The Nord
Deutsche Gazette, on the other hand, denies
that any such dispatch has been received in
Berlin.
The Journal of Frankfort, in its corre
spondence from Vienna of the 14th of March,
states that military arrangements of the
greatest importance, and portending an im
pending rupture between the two great Ger
man Powers, have been adopted by Austria.
In a few days, the writer says, you may ex
pect to hear of the movement of a large
Austrian force toward the Prussian frontier.
From another source the same journal adds,
that an order for the concentration of 100,000
troops on the frontiers of Silesia has already
been from Vienna.
The Cologne Gazette of the 15th says:
"The situation is serious, and the tension
between Austria and Prussia is rather in
creasing than diminishing. The policy of
Herr Von Bismark is more acceptable in
high quarters that heretofore. General
'3lanteuffel has deserted the section of the
friends of Austria, and the military circles
around the King incline to the side of the
President of the Council. The ordinances
relative to the plots of the Augnstenburg
party is a grave symptom, as it may pos
sibly give rise to a state of war. The diplo
matists are busy in every court in Europe."
The situation (says the Independence Belgdp
has arrived at an extreme degree of tension,
and although the alarming news which
comes from Germany is not to be absolutely
trusted, we cannot dissemble that the
chances of a war between the two great
German Powers, which the ministerial
journal of Berlin recently declared to be
absurd and impossible, seem to be greatly
increased.
7 he Latest Rumors and Despatches.
A Vienna telegram of the 19th states that
declarations of a reassuring character had
been received from Berlin by the Austrian
Government, and that the apprehensions of
war between the two Powers had been
thereby removed. It is further stated that
the Gastein Convention veil be adhered to.
The Viennajournals state that it is the in
tention of Austria to submit the question of
the Duchies to the decision of the German
Diet.
It was rumored that Gen. Nianteuffel was
shortly expected in Vienna with . a letter
from the King of Prussia to the Emperor of
Austria.
The London Post, of March 21, says it has
reason to believe that the telegraphic news
to the effect that since Sunday declarations
of a reassuring character have been received
from Berlin by the Austrian Government,
and that the apprehensions of war between
the great German powers have been thereby
removed, are totally incorrect. The rela
tions between the two -powers continue on
the contrary to be very critical.
There was a panic at the Paris Bourse on
the 19th, caused by rumors from Germany,
which found expression in the following
paragraph in the semi-official Pays:
"Grave events seem to be in preparation
in Germany. If the royal ordinance of
March 11 shall be carried out in Holstein in
spite of Austria, that conflict between the
two great German Powers which so many
incidents have tended to within the last few
months may break out. The military pre
parations on each side, and the language of
the journals of the two countries, indicate a
rupture as imminent."
