EUROPEAN AFFAIRS.
[Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
PARTE, Tuesday, October 30th, 1866.—1
mentioned in a recent letter that'the reor
ganization of the army would be one of the
first objects which would occupy the atten
tion of the government, on the resumption
of business after the summer holidays. The,
Moniteur of this morning corroborates what
I then said, by announcing the formation
of a Commission under the Emperor him
self; for the carrying out of this important
project. The "gravity of recent events in
Germany," is broadly alleged as the reason:
which necessitates a change in the military
organization of the Empire; and the object of
said change is, with equal frankness,
stated to be the " defence of our territory
and the maintenance of our political influ
ence." The expressions used seem to imply
that the boundaries of the empire are con
sidered as insecure, as well as to admit that
its political influence in Europe has been
impaired.
But it is not only as regards her army
and her needle-guns that the rmperor Na
poleon condescends to take a leaf out of the
book of Prussia. Re has cast an envious
eye upon certain parts of the financial sys
tem of her Executive. And this leads me
to speak of certain rumors about a loan and
ministerial changes, which have doubtless
ere this reached you, and concerning which
I have recently received some confidential,
and, I think, authentic information, which
is not without interest.
Although the imperial government has
reason to be satisfied with the general
prosperity of the country, exceptional cir
cumstances have, nevertheless, arisen
which have caused it to look ahead and en-
quire whatluar_it_vight not shortly_be in
want of more money Mann can cortunand
by the regular channels. Amongst sack`
circumstances the distress at Lyons, thO
inundation and the scanty harvest stand
most prominent. The first mentioned case
of disquiet has been little noticed, chiefly
because strict orders were sent round
to all the newspapers, and especially to
those of Paris, not to speak of it. The
distress itself was occasioned by the sudden
change of fashion which led to the complete
abandonment of embroidered in favor of
plain silks for ladies' dresses, and the con
sequent throwing out of work of vast num
bers of silk hand-looms. The workmen so
situated, with true French instinct, instead
of endeavoring to help themselves, imme
diately prepared to frighten the government
into helping them. They got ready a threat
ening demonstration composed of many
thousands of people. As there was no say
ing to what consequences such a manifesta
tion might lead in a country like France
vigorous measures were at once taken.
The whole army of Lyons was con
Signed to. barracks, and orders were is
sued to the military authorities to act
with the utmost energy and decision, in
case of need. Meanwhile, the Prefect of
Lyons tried conciliatory measures also, and
offered to receive delegates from the work. :
men. I will state presently the result of,
this step.. Such circumstances as the above,
however, made the government desirous of
having funds at its command, and the pro
ject of a "peace loan" was revived. This
was favored by the, presence, accidental or
designed, at Biarritz, at 'the same moment,
of Baron Efautornann, the Prefect of Paris
of M. Perein,_ of the Credit Mobilier; M.
Bibie, Minister- of Public Works, and of.
General Fleury, all great advocates of the
"extension of credit" system, and of bor
rowing and spending as much money as
possible. This coterie, with the Empe
ror at its head, concocted a scheme'
I understand, at Biarritz, for a loan of a
milliard of francs. Five, hundred millions
of this sum was to be devoted to the distress
at Lyons. With five hundred millions an
immense impulse can be given to public
works throughout the entire country, and
especially in the districts ravaged by the
inundations. The remaining five hundred
millions were to constitute an "imperial re
serve fund," to meet future "eventualities,"
ala mode de Bismark and the King of
Prussia. This precious scheme, which I
am assured, was fully discussed and agreed
on at Biarritz, required the assent of only
one other person to be carried into
execution. But;that person was one of im
portance, being none other than M. Fonld,
the Minister of Finance. So extremely
doubtful, however, was his acquiescenoe,
that projects for a remodeling of the cabinet
were even debated, in case of M. Fould's
retiring, and in that event it was proposed
that Baron Haussreann should become
Minister of. Public Works, M. Bihie, of Fi
nance, and General Fleury,Minister of War
—the latter appointment having been long
a pet •project with the Emperor, altho' he
knows it to be distasteful to, the country and
even dangerously repugnant to the army.
Well, to shorten my story, the Court returns
to Paris, councils are held at St. Cloud, and,
the loan scheme is broached to M. Fould.
It, need hardly be said that a proposal to
throw the money tuarket into confusion,
and 'the "country, and perhapa Europe,

into consternation, by a -loan' of a
milliard, - in the midst of peace and
an increasing revenue, prove utterly re
pugnant to that prudent minister, not only
would his resignation, it was found, be cer
tain, but that of his wiser colleagues, should
the proposed 'plan be persevered in. Ac
cordingly, at a recent council held at St,
Cloud, the loan was finally abandoned. But
the sketch I have given of the transaction,
derived from private, and I think from
authen tic sources, is curious 'as demonstrat
ing at once the secret uneasiness, wrigglings
and strange underhand plannings and plot
tings which are always going on about one
thing or another, in the privaoles of the im
perial court and cabinet.
There is but room left to add that the Em
peror, finding that no part of the proposed
milliard was forthcoming for such purpose,
has ordered his Minister of the Interior to
inform the workmen of Lyons that he will
give 300,000 f. out of the civil list, and that the
Empress will provide as much more out o
the funds of the Society of
,the Prince Im
perial, to enable them to set up co-operative
associations to carry on silk-weaving on
their own account..

BATSMAN TEOI7PE.—The Bateman
Concert last night was even a greater suc
cess than that of Tuesday night. The Aca
demy was literally packed with a brilliant
and most enthusiastic audience. Mme.
Parepa, Brignoll, Ferranti and Fortuna all
evidently felt the inspiration of the occasion
and sang with more than usual effect, and
Mr. Mills and Mr. Rosa excelled them
selves in the exquisite style of their per.
formance. Mine. Parepa was heartily en
cored, and her "Comm' through the Rye,"
especially brought down the delighted house
with prolonged applause. Mr. Bateman has
certainly established a permanent popular
ity for his excellent troupe in Philadelphia,
and will hereafter be sure of the warmest
welcome at all times.
The visit of Governor Geary added to the
furore of the occasion. The distinguished
visitor was escorted to the Director's box
by Mr. J. Gillingham Fell, President of the
Union League, Mr. Sparing, President-elect
of Select Council, Mr. James A. Freeman,
and Mr. John B. Budd. The latter gentle
man introduced the. Governor to the an
dience, who paid their respects to our new
Executive by rising and giving him three
hearty cheers.

Dr. Sekenek's Mandrake Pills—A Sub
stitute for Calomel
These pills are composed of various roots
and herbs, including a small proportion of
Mandrake,the compound having the power
to relax the secretions of the liver as
promptly and effectually as blue pill or
mercury, and without producing any of
those disagreeable or dangerous effects
which often follow the use of the latter.
In all bilious disorders, these Pills may
be used with confidence, as they promote
the discharge of vitiated bile, and remove
thoseobstructions from the liver and binary
ducts which are the cause of bilious affec
tions in general.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills expel mica
rides, or seat worms, which are so trouble
some to many persons, producing piles, fis
tula, dysentery and other painful disorders.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills cure sick head
ache, and all disorders of the liver; indi
cated by, sallow skin, coated tongue,costive
ness, drowsiness, and a general feeling of
weariness and lassitude, showing that the
liver is in a torpid or obstructed condition.
In short, these pills may be used with
advantage in all cases when a purgative or
alterative medicine is required.
The success that has attended "Da. J. H.

Brilliant Display Observed from Green

Twelve Thousand Meteors Seen with
The New York Herald has the following
Cable despatch:
GREENWICH OBSERVATORY, ENGLAND,
Nov. 14-6 A. M.—The expected meteoric
showers were observed last night. At nine
o'clock a few meteors fell; at eleven o'clock
they had increased in number and size, and
betw ma xim um two o'clock this morning
the was reached. The night
was clear and the stars were out in great
numbers. The whole heavens were bril
liantly illuminated.
The showers of meteors were of great
beauty and brilliancy, end radiated from
the constellation Leo, near the star Gamma
Leonia. Their direction was mostly from
the east to the west. The paths of the me
teors were from three to four degrees in the
north. Near Ursa Major twenty or thirty
were observed at one time, and crossing
the zenith fifty or sixty more of unusual
size and duration, the majority
being larger than stars of the first
magnitude. Several exoded from
the vicinity of Jupiter; one, of immense
dimensions, was colored red, blue, green,
orange and amber. Nearly all had trails of
fire. Of two flaming front Leo at the same
time, one crossed Beta Geminorum and the
other Mars. Two more, one red and the
other of an oriental sapphire color, crossed
Alpha Orionis.
Some of the meteors burst forth in splen
dor ; one, breaking behind the rising clouds
flashed like sheet lightning, and another of
emerald hue burst near Eta Leonia at fifteen
minutes after two o'clock A. M., its trail of
flame being visible for a minute and a half,
and then faded away in brilliant nebul a; .
At three A. M. they commenced to dimi
nish gradually, until, at the present moment,
they are all, meteors and stars, fading away
in the morning light.
We wanted five thousand in one hour,
nearly twelve thousand in all, with the
naked eye.
THERE' r WORLD GIRDLE.
Progress of the lgusso-Amerlean Tele
graph.
The San Francisco Bulletin , of October
17th, gives the following details concerning
the progress of the Russian-American Tele
graph enterprise; The Western Union Tele
graph Com pany's bark Olara Bell has ar
rived from Ghijiga Bay, at the head of the
Okhotsk sea. Her outward voyage was
performed by way of Petropolovski, where
she found orders to proceed to Ghijiga,wtdch
bad been selected as the base of operations
on the coast of the Okhotsk sea. The com
pany's ateatninTOciaterft - Wright, carrying
Colonel Bulkley, the Engineer-in-Chief, ar
rived at Petropolovski on the 24th of July,
and sailed on the 6th of August for Anadyr
bay and Norton sound. The Russian cor
vette Verlag, seventeen guns, which had
been assigned to the service of the Telegraph
Company, was at Petropolovski on the ar
rival of the Wright, and her captain at once
reported to Colonel Balkley for orders.
The Verlag sailed on the 6th of August for
the month Of the Amoor by way , of Ghijiga
and Okhotsk, having on board Count P.
Anossoff Russian Commissioner, to the
Telegisph Company,and Thomas W. Knox,
AmeriCan journalist with the expedition,
who proceeds overland from Nikolaeffak to
St. Petersburg. The Verlag reached Ghi
jiga on the isth of August, and sailed four
days later for Okhotsk.
Major S. Abase, Chief of the Asiatic Divi
sion of the Russo-American Telegraph, has
established his headquarters at Ghijiga.
During the past winter he explored in per
son the route between Ghijiga and Okhotsk,
and determined the position of the lines for
that distance. Capt. Mahood explored the
route from the mouth of the Amoor to
Okhotsk, and joined Major Abasa at the
latter point. At the same time Capt. Ken
non made a survey from Ghijiga to the
Anadyr Bay, and located the route of the
telegraph. Thus the whole distance from
Behring Sea to the terminus of the line at
the mouth of the Amcor has been explored
and the route selected.
In the region around Ghijiga working
parties are busy in the preliminary wore - ,
and will have a considerable quantity of
poles ready by the end of Summer. From
Ghijiga to Okhotsk and the month of the
Amoor the line mostly follows the valleys
behind the coast range of mountains, but in
some places follows the shores of the
Okhotsk Sea. Timber is abundant on the
most of the route, except in some phicea
where mountain ranges are crossed and in
the region immediately around Ghijiga,
where poles must be cut on the Ghijiga
River and rafted as near as possible to the
places where they will be used. Along the
whole .route, wherever laborers could be
procured, they have been engaged in the
work begun.
The natives throughout the whole region
have shown themselves entirely friendly , .
Captain Macrae and St. Arnold traveled
two months among the Tehuenties, and
were kindly treated during the whole time.
Major Abase and Captain Kennon traveled
among the Koraks on their route from
Petropolovski to Ghijiga, and found them
well disposed. The Koraks have offered to
be ready with their dog teams to assist in
transporting material whenever desired,
and have contracted to supply any amount
of reindeir meat for provisions. Major
Abase has purchased dog teams in Kam
schatka and among the Koraks, and estab
lished fisheries for the preparation of a
large supply of dog food.
The Ghwernment officials have been
prompt in affording every assistance to
Major Abase ;. - .nd his subordinates, without
waiting directions from St. Petersburg.
Count Anossoff has issued orders to all the
officialsito render any desired •service that
may assist the completion of the line. As
soon as the necessary material is received
and distributed, the work will be pushed
with great rapidity.

robbery on the evening of the 12th ultimo,

Four >lexicans, disguised, robbed three

The Alliance of the Czar with Prussia
and "young Germany"—French Views

Towards Poland, and the Last.
[From the Paris La Presse, Nov. 11
The alliance between Russia and Prussia
is now an accomplished fact. It is not now
a question of the continual interchange of
good offices which was revealed to indig
nant Europe, in 1863 by the Extradition
Convention of Posen of that permanent
complicity which led the .Nord to speak of
Prussia as the traditional ally of Russia; it
is a question of binding engagements en
tered into with reference to a special object
and in anticipation of events already deter
mined upon._ * * If Russia, in the
execution of her plans_ in the East, should
meet with any other obstacle than the
Turks, Prussia will range herself on her
side. If any foreign intervention should
thwart the work of assimilation which
Prussia is accomplishing in Northern Ger
many, or the already prepared absorption
of the minor States south of the Main, Prus
sia can rely upon the armed co-operation of
Russia. * f, ' l ' The two
countries haves common task to accomplish
—the destruction of the. Polsh nationality.
It was Prussia which conceived the idea of
the dismemberment of Poland, which pre
pared its execution, which precipitaW its
accomplishment, and which has assn dl
had a lion's share of the spoils. Tinit#l by
/their complicity in this crime, Pruasiand

of the Polish provinces, the Cabinet of
Berlin is engaged in German
izing others. It has compelled them
despite all previous engagements, to enter
into the North German Confederation, in
order to destroy the last vestige of their
national existence. The sole obstacle to the
entire accomplishment of the design is the
strip of Poland which has preserved its lan
.guage, its religion and its customs under
the rule of Austria. 4 * * . It is not only
in the accomplishment of their common ob
jeat that Prussia and Russia find Austria
in their path,but also in the pursuit of their
ambitious designs. Who could defend

speedy and effectual aid to the Sultan,if not
Austria.Whocould,by its comasels,by 'Ulla
finance, by its support, preserve the States
of South Germany from absorption? Who
is the nece„-Rary (ally of Saxonia? Who
retains possession of Bohemia so ardently
coveted, if not Austria? Let Austria dis
appear or be abased, and Prussia and Rus
sia will have removed the chief obstacle to
the accomplishment of their designs. Will
these designs ever coaflioc with each other?
What interest has Prussia In the Black Sea
or at Constantinople? Has Russia any
greater interest in opposing obstacles to the
designs of Prussia in Germany? She sought
by matrimonial alliances and by the hidden
workings of indefatigable diplomacy to
create for herself an influence over the petty
courts of Germany. What advantage has
she ever gained ny it? Did that influence,
backed by all the efforts of Prussia, suc
ceed in inducing Germany -to take part
with the Czar in the Crimean war?
World it not snit her better that all
Germany should be in the grasp of Prussia,
as then, to avail herself of its power, she
would only have to arrange with the Cabinet
of Berlin? Thus, then, nothing exists to
divide Russia and Prussia; everything tends
to unite them. "Backing each other," writes
a Russian statesman lately, "Russia and
Prussia may defy the rest of Europe." We
believe that Russia and Prussia are now
backing each other. * * e Russia is
making preparations at Nikolaief which are
not very consistent with the spirit of the
letter of the Treaty of Paris. Her journals
are daily demanding the restitution of the
lost bank of the Danube. Her official agents
stand aloof at Bucharest, and protest by
theirabstention against theconcessionsof the
Porte. Finally, Russia is accumulating very
considerable forces upon the Austrian fron
tiers.
Austria discovers every instant in Bohemia,
in Moravia. in Silesia, the hand of Prussian
agents. The Prussian functionaries in their
relations with the Austrian authorities,•dis
play systematic arrogance and hauteur.
Finally, the personage to whom Prussia
has confided the principal authority in
Saxony during the occupation has told the
Saxons as a fare Well that before five months
have elapsed he will be re-instated at Dres
den, not again to withdraw from it. It has
appeared to us profitable to point out these
facts. Before seeking to obtain the facts
which their union promises to them they are
now endeavoring to complete their alliance.
They wished to ascertain whether the al
liance between Prussia and Italy could not
endure after the war terminated. They do
not despair that the prospect of a protecto
rate over Egypt may render England indif
ferent to the fate of Constantinople.
The London Times, in one of those arti
cles, the -unexpected appearance of which
always marks an evolution in the govern
ment policy, or a change in the views of the
directing classes, has made light of the fate
of Constantinople and of the Ottoman Em
pire altogether, while, on the contrary, at
taching to the destinies of Egypt an im
portance sufficiently great to warrant the
sacrifice of the last shilling, and of the last
soldier of England. How far will this . new
programme - obtain the assent of public
opinion in England ? What chance has it
of being accepted and approved by the
Cabinetof London? We do not pretend to
know. We do know th6t Europe is passing
through a crisis, and that the peace at
Niko,sburg was only the termination of its
first period.

WASH:II%I'ON, Wednesday, Nov.l4.—The
following is a portion of a communication
today addressed by a member of the Cabi
net to a friend of the Administration in
New England, who seemed to, be apprehen
sive that the difficulties betimen the PresiT
dent and Congress might induce action on
the part of the former which would tend to
widen the breach, if it did not put impor
tant interests in peril. The member of the
Cabinet says:
Notwithstanding his long public career,
few men seem to be less understood than
President Johnson. That he is a man of
strong convictions and earnest purposes is
evident- from the manner in which
he advocated andpushed forward 'impor
tant measures in Congress, like the
Homestead Bill, and the stand which
he took against secession and in. fa,
vor of the Government during the late
civil war. He believes that the manner in
which he proposed that the Govern
went should deal with the Southern States
was not only a magnanimous - one, but the
only one likely to result in a speedy and
hearty reconciliation between the sections,
and he has felt it to be his duty to sustain
his views by the exercise of such powers as
the Constitution had clothed him with. Bat
while this has been, and, doubtless will
continue to be his course, he will violate no
law, nor fail to perform the duties which
are legally devolved upon him. He
will veto every bill that be'
may regard unconstitutional, no matter
how unpopular it may be for him to do so,.
but he will execute.with scrupulous fidelity
all laws, and especially :those to which he
has declined to give his Executive sanc
tion. The apprehension which you seem
to feel, and which many others, share with
you, that Mr. Johnson will attempt to force
Southern Representatives into Congress, or
do any other imprudent thing by which the
public peace will be.disturbed, or the
public
credit be deranged, is utterly unfounded.
While he will exercise fearlessly the power
which he possesses under the Con
stitution, in furtherance of the measures
which he thinirst are the best calculated
to promote the public weal, he will not
quarrel with Congress for pursuing the
same independent course. He regrets the
disagreement between the Legislative and.
Executive branches of the Government, and
would, I doubt not, yield much to effect a
reconciliation. He will not, however, semi,
fica his principles nor violate the Constitu
tion, according to his interpretation of it, no
matter what pressure may be brought to
bear upon him. He means to do right as
he understands the right, and will trust to
time for the vindication of his course. He
will be as true to the Constitution and the
Government as President of the Unites
States as he was true and steadfast to the
Union in the darkest days of its trials.
The Case of Rev.lllr.Williains, the Allege&
Pickpocket.
[From the Petersburg Index, Nov 18.3
This gentleman arrived here on Sunday
merriing and is stopping-with his friends In
this Co u rt examination before the Jus
tice's came off in New York on
Saturday, and the evidence elicited was
about that previously published,except that
Miss Irwin, the principal witness for the
prcsecution, contradicted her previous testi
mony before the Police Court in several
points. The whole evidence for the prose
cution was heard, but Gen. Roger A. Pryor,
counsel for the accused, did not think proper
to bring forward the basis on which the
defence rested, ner to apply for bail. On
motion of the State's Attorney,- however,
the prisoner was released upon giving bond
in the sum of $l,OOO to appear for final trial
on Wednesday, the 21st inst.
. We are informed that great interest has
been expressed in the case at New York,
and that great kindness has been shown
Mr. Williams by a large class of 'persons,.
convinced, as all who know him here are, of
his utter innocence of fault in this matter.
Bishop Johns, who happened to be in the
city, has expressed his willingness to testify
to the high religious character of the victim
of a chain of unfortunate circumstances,and
has said that he could rely with no more
implicit confidence upon the probity of any
clergyman in his diocese. A letter has also
been received from the vestry of Mr. Wil
liams's church, in Suffolk, written without
solicitation, stating the implicit confidence
of the congregation of the innocence of their
pastor.
The accused gentleman's statement wilt
be of interest to the many friends he has in
this vicinity.
He says that, entering an omnibus as he
was going on a call to Bishop Potter, he
took a seat, without choice, for there were
three persons already upon each side, next
to Mrs. Morse, the lady whose' pocket-book
was taken. Shortly after taking his seat he
noticed the perte-monnaie lying between
himself and Mrs. Morse, who sat on his left,
and carrying over his right hand he took
the pocket-book, thinking that some person
previously occupying his seat had dropped
it, and intending to advertise in the morn
ing papers for the owner. Upon leaving
the omnibus he was seized upon complaint
of Mrs. Irvin and at once arrested.
He got out, as was proved, at' the point
most convenient to the residence of Bishop
Potter, and though involuntarily recoiling
from the rough handling of the man ,who
first seized him, almost instantly upon un—
derstanding that the , owner of the, book -was
present, gave it up and - made exactly the
same explanations here given.
All of the circumstances point strongly to
the supposition that the guilty party was
some person who - had Preceded Mr. Wit
llama in his seat near the lady „robbed. Her
pocket had.: been cut, professionally, with
evidently a very sharp instrument, And , a
dozen photographic cards -were:, missing as
well as the -unfortunate pocket-hock, •Yet
the search to which Mr. PfilAiams'a-persom
was subjected showed - that he had about
him no instrument abarli - enough t 4 4*__N u,
