[Correspondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bullechs. I PAans, Tuesday, Nov. 6th, 1866.—The po litical event of the day is certainly the Papal Allocution (the text of which has just been published)—and as such that remarkable document seems to be considered by the general voice of the press and of public opinion. At the very moment when all Italy was in a delirium of joy for the annex ation of Venice; just, too, as that rough fel low Victor Emmanuel, who, somehow or other, with all his want of polish, always manages to say the right thing in the right place, was in the act of declaring to those who presented him with the iron crown that there was another crown which was far dearer to him, viz, that which he won in the affections of the people over whom he ruled—just as this national joy and per sonal attachment •is at its height, the Head of the Italian Church declares open war against Italy and almost curses her King and her Government. I say " almost," because the Pope does end his allocution with a sort of a blessing, although the legitimate conclusion of all that had gone before would certainly have been quite the other way. He denounces the "Subalpine" government, as he calls it, for he will not even accord to it the name of "Italian," and declares its lawit and acts to be nothing but a continual insult to religion and himself; especially the law of marriage, which he pronounces to be only an encour agement to the most shameful concubinage. And this is said of a law which prevails and has prevailed, even in a stronger sense, for more than half a century, in France, the country to which the Papacy is indebted at this mome'nt for its very existence, and of law which prevails now almost universally both in Europe and America. The only congratulation which the Pope has to offer Italy on the annexation of Venice, is a bitter reproach for having abolished the Concordat made between himself and his " dear son in Jesus Christ, Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria," for that part of the dominions of the latter. Nor does Pius IX content himself with simple remonstrances. "By the authority of the Church of St. Peter" he solemnly "abrogates and declares null and void and of no effect or value," all the above acts and decrees and laws of the "Subalpine" government, of which he com plains. This sounds really more like mid summer madness than the common sense •of the nineteenth century; but there stands the declaration in blaek and white. As to reconciliation with Italy, the Pope scouts the very idea of such a thing with those whom he regards as thieves and robbers; and, for the first time, says he will leave Rome if such a step be necessary for his spiritual independence. He designates what is now taking place in Italy, by the names of " deplorable facts" and "sorrow-. ful contemporary events;" speaks of the, accomplishment of the liberties of the nation as "this very baneful Italian per turbation and rebellion !" After this we may say, indeed,' area jacta est, the die is cast. Moderate counsel seems cast to the winds, and the ultra party has . evidently carried the -day a Rome. There has been nothing like the' above published from that source since the celebrated Syllabus, of which the Allocu tion is the natural sequence; and all that re mains for Pius IXth to - do, it seems, is to take refuge in that Spain which is, I pre sume, the country in which as the only recipient of "religion and its salutary doc trines," he describes as alone flourishing (beginning, doubtless, with the person and character of the Most Catholic Majesty, Queen Isabella herself),--"purity of morals, integrity, peace, justice, charity, and all the virtues !" The above outburst from Rome is the more unlooked for, because only a few days previously the Cardinal Trevisanato, patriarch and head of the Venetian Church, had issued a pastoral letter on the occasion of the Plebiscitura and its result, in which both - the King ~and the Italian government were spoken of in terms of the highest respect, loyalty and even affection. Thellioniteur of thismorning, while passing wholly sub silentio the Papal Allocution, alludes significantly to the Car dinal's pastoral as heralding the advent of a new state of things and an era of reconcilia tion bet Ween Italy and the Church. A second Allocution of the Pope is directed as strongly against Prussia as the first is against Italy, so that between the two the Court of Rome may be said to have declared ecclesiastical war against all Europe. The result must be either greatly to add to the difficulties, or perhaps 'greatly hasten the solution of the Roman question. It is re marked that by a war-office order, all offim cars and soldiers of the French division of Rome, now in France on furlough, are re quired to join their diSp6ts at the expiration of their leave, instead of returning to Rome. The Emperor held a review and appeared on horseback yesterday for the first time since his indisposition. He seemed to be pretty much in his.usual. Mato of bealtht PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, -NOVEMBER 21, 1866 PARAGUAYAN WAR. Peace Proposals of Lopez---Interest ing Interview Between the Rival Commanders on the Battle-Field --Flores and Lopez Quarrel and Break off the lierotiations-- Defeat of the Allies--The Army Badly Beaten and Their. Fleet Disabled Before Fort CUrupaity e nriental Army . Withdrawn and the War Abandoned by Flores. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] Rio Jalisano, Oct. 9, 1866.—Another san guinary engagement has taken place—this time in front of Carupaity, by land and water—between the Paraguayans and the allies, resulting disastrously to the arms of the latter, contrary to all expectation in this city, as you shall learn. On the 3d inst. a steamer arrived from the river Plate with dates from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo to the 23d and 26th nit., re spectively. From the intelligence received a general impression prevailed that peace would be soon restored, on terms advanta geous to Brazil, and "/o triumphs" was shouted through the streets, in the Ex change, the several hotels and caf6s, and in private families. I beg pardon; the Bra zilians never shout; they don't seem to know how. Consider, therefore, that I employed one of these dangerous edge tools, a figure of speech—as Cobbett hash it. At all events, the people did the next best thing to shouting—they looked jubilant, The fact is, they thought the very fact of Lopez pro posing conditions of peace was synonomorie with suing for peace, and was indicative of his inability to continue the war. Alas! the joy that prevailed throughout the city was of short duration, for the morrow brought information of a terrible disaster to Brazil; through the machinations of that cunning fox, Lopez. The following from one of the oity journal is a fair exponent of what was expected to result from the proposals of Lof pez, made in person to the allied command ers, and exhibits the bitterness of the disap pointment that was experienced when the whole truth became known:, The allies have just gained a great moral victory. Lopez asked for an interview with the generals of the allied army, and, in a conference which lasted five hours, mani fested a desire to make peace, which amounts to as much as saying he is, no longer capable of fighting. It is not easy to foretell what influence this fact will have, not only on the Paraguayans, bat even on, our soldiers and on the whole country. We see in it a presage of a great triumph, and with it the conclusion of the war. It seems, however, from all I have been able to gather—for the precise terms pro posed by Lopez have not transpired—that the shrewd diplomatist and soldier did not offer any basis for a peaceable adjustment; that he only manifested a desire to make peace on conditions different from those established in the celebrated triple alliance. General Mitre submitted the Dictator's proposals to a council of generals, who de cided on communicating them to their re spective governments, without stopping, however, the operations of the war. Letters from Tuijuty give the following details of the memorable interview; By the morning of the 12th of Sepiember every one in the army knew that Lopez was io hold on that day a conference with the allied commanders. Nor was he waited for long. At half-past eight A. M. the foremost vidette reported Lopez and his suite ap proaching the allied camp with a flag of truce. Gen. Mitre, followed by Gen. Hornos and his suite, and escorted by 20 cavalrymen, went out to meet him. When near each other the two generals advanced a few yards from their respective escorts, and on meet ing shook hands. Gen. Flores and Polydo ro bad been invited by Gen. Mitre, at the request of President Lopez, to attend the meeting. The former accepted the invita tion but the Brazilian General refused to take any part in the conference, saying that as the commander-in-chief would be pres ent, he thought his presence in that place would be useless. Sensible man, that! The conversation lasted five hours, as' already stated, Lopez being almost exclu sively the speaker. He analyzed the policy of Brazil and her two allies. It is said that in the course of the conversation Lopez manifested rather too earnestly his little sympathy Tor Brnzil, and that in such vio lent language that Mitre had to tell him that he could hear him no longer on such a subject. It is also affirmed that on separat ing the two ,supreme commanders ex changed whips, Lopez being the first to per form this act of rather dubious, Van Tromp like politeness. General Mitre, subsequent to the' meet ing., declared that Lopez was animated by the best desires 'and was full of the most humane sentiments, which he (Lopez) manifested with a vengeance in a few days. According to Mitre the Paraguayan Dicta tor was willing to make peace, bat would not abandon his power. Query.—Was the abandonment of power by. Lopez one of the conditions insisted on by the allied generals, which Lopez found so hard to digest? Lopez's proposals, whatever they may have been, were communicated immedi ately to the Brazilian Minister. An answer was returned, the nature of which was not made known; but it is a matter of certainty that Lopez was dissatisfied therewith, who forthwith recpmmenced military operations, resulting in a serious disaster to the allied army and Brazilian fleet, as already men tioned, the partieulars of which, from all I can gather. seem to be somewhat like the following: At seven o'clock on the morning of the 22d ultimo two divisions of the fleet as cended the river, and bombarded the fort ress of Curupaity for four hours; but only succeeded in dismounting three of the Par aguayan guns. The iron-clads Tamandare, Barrozo and Brazil were ordered to advance and force the palisade, forming ah obstruc tion to the approach to the enemy's works. The attempt was successful, and the three vessels closed up to within sixty fathoms of the enemy, pouring in an incessant fire of shot and shell, which was gallantly re turned by the Paraguayans, to the great damage of the vessels thus engaged. Nor were the land forces idle; for, shortly after the attack by river commenced, Gen. Mitre, with his army, issued from Caruza, and assaulted the first line of entrenchments, dog+ to Curupaity, carrying it in +pick o IVEIOTE 001:1*17iltt. time, the Paraguayans withdrawing with all their artillery to Curupaityproper. The Allies advanced immediately, - and here their gteat difficulties began.- -It appears that to reach Curupaity from the line_just taken it was necessary to cross a swamp and destroy the defensive works that the Paraguayans had made there. Many at tempts were- made by the allies to cross, waist deep in water, during which time— about one hour and a half—they certainly displayed great valor; but all to no purpose, exposettas they were to an Incessant fire of shot and shell. They were at last compelled to retreat, with a lobs of about five thousand men, mostly killed, among whom were a large number of officers. The entire affair reflects little credit on the strategy of General Mitre, *hose personal courage, as well as that of Admiral Taman dare, is unimpeached and unimpeachable. But the General's blunder, or rather series of blunders, are not the less stupid because he is brave, thus: He attacked Curnpaity, garrisoned by fifteen thousand men and mounted with filty-six pieces of artillery, with no more than a)xtut twenty thousand men, leaving Polydoro and his, corps behind. It was lucky, however, that he did so, or the latter would have undoubtedly Shared the fate of thcse who actually suffered. The second blunder was the attacking of the fortress after three days of heavy rain, which swelled the swamp to a great height, and rendered the adjacent ground anything but firm. It is still a mystery how the alies, leaving out of view their first cross ing of the swamp, contrived to retreat across it with their artillery, in the face of the ter rific fire to which they weretexposed—an incessant fire of shot and shell. They were at last compelled to retreat, with a loss of about five thousand men, mostly killed, among whom were a large number of officers. The shock caused by the foregoing news in this city is a painful one. It is said that the Minister of War has given orders for all army officers to leave for the South. In connection with this a review in order of march took place to-day in front of the principal barracks of this city. Three bat talions of the National Guard were present; and it Is reported that the whole of that corps will be sent to Paraguay, with the sole exception of married men having children. In my opinion this measure will be productive of very, insignificant results, because troops formed in this way cannot, from the fgrmer habits of the men com posing jtAnd from their previous modes of living, snerxmkfully encounter the hardships of a campaign, even for a week; and there is not the slightest shade of enthusiasm among them for the present war. Consequently , the government may at once sonfidently rely upon the de sertion of the majority of them, while ' on the other - hand, there are thousands of foreigners and others here who would will ingly go if a reasonable bounty were paid them at once, and if they were to be enlisted for one year instead of nine years, the pre sent term of service, and for which a substi tute for a National Guard has to serve as a soldier of the line. It seems almost incre dible that,after the brilliant example pre sented- by the United States in their late gigantic struggle,the Brazilian government =mot perceive the absurdiof its system of enlistment and adopt model which has served so well. The three iron -clads, in their bombard ment of Curupaity, were frequently hit, and two of them—the Barrow and the Brazil— bad to go to the island of Cerrito, further down the river, to repair damages. It is beginning ft; leak out that Admiral Parker is to command the fleet, and that the Visconde Tamandare will be recalled. The general impression is that the change ought to have been made long ago; and ani madversions are freely passed on the con duct of Tamandar6 for the grave mistake so fatal to commanders of other nations, in scorning his enemy, - by which said enemy was allowed the opportunity of filling his difficult channel leading to Curnpaity with torpedoes, sunken vessels and other ob structions. Latest advices inform us here that General Flores has arrived at Montevideo, with his troops, consisting of 400 men, being all that is left of 1,200, wnich constituted his origi nal army. There must be some joke here, reminding us of that Serene Highness in, Germany whose army consisted of eleven soldiers and a half. - - At the Chestnut to-night we have Mr. Joseph Jefferson in his great character of, Rip Van Winkle: This is Mr. Jefferson's: last week.

RAILROAD CONDUCTOR KILLED.-011 Thursday morning last, about one o'clock, a young man named Garrity, conductor on the night freight train on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which left this city on Wednesday night, was instantly killed, at Derry. Sta tion, Westmoreland county, while coupling cars. He was in the act of coupling, when a coal train shoved down against the cars, driving them together before he could es cape; and mashing him to death instantly. The deceased was an unmarried man, and had been on the road but two months, hav ing formerly been employed on the Northern Central. He resided at Millerstown, Pa., and his remains were properly dressed and forwarded to his friends by the company. NEWSPAPERS.—De Tocqueville, in his work on America, gives this forcible sketch : "A newspaper can drop the same thought into a thousand minds at the same moment. A newspaper is an adilser who does not require to be sought, but who comes to you briefly every day of common weal, without distracting your _private af fairs. Newspapers, therefore, become more necessary in proportion as men become more equal and individuals more to be feared. To suppose that they only serve to I protect freedom would be to diminish their apaportance; they maintain civilization." AItiUSZPffIS. OUTI=I .A.IVIEELI C.A. The Proposed Mediation of Enlan and France in the South- American-Spanish War-- The Election in Peru. Morreskosidence of thtN. Y.3.inlS9. Monday, ATidk —We have dates from Valparaiso - and Santiago de Chile to the 18th,and Callao and Lima to the 28th of October. Chile. The Chilean press continues to discuss the proposed mediation of England and France in the south American-Spanish war. It is generally believed that Chili and Peru have_ accepted the mediation. As Bolivia and Ecuador bad no cause of quarrel with Spain, other than their desire to makercom mon cause with Chile and Peru in defenc e of South American interests, their Minis ters to Santiago state that their governments will be guided by the wishes of the princi pals in the war! The terms of the media tion are those stated in my last: I. An arm istice, 2. Spain and the allied republics will consent that France and England shall ar range the basis on which peace maybe ad justed, while the belligerents will remain free to accept or refuse the arrangement. Nothwitbstanding the tone to the contrary of the Press of Chile, there is a strong desire among the Chilean people for peace, founded upon the conviction that further war with Spain will be a losinggame to the allied Re publics. The Mercurio, of Valparaiso,says: "If the Spaniards do not return to this coast, the question as regards us is restricted to the alternative of peace or trace. Com mercial interests tend naturally to peace, and make tremendous efforts to influence public opinion, but the people, the masses that really constitute the nation, they who regard the rise or fall of prices as of less moment than the honor of the country, have not expressed in any way a wish for peace "In summing up the considerations on both sides, we are disposed to think that the present state of things will continue. "In the meantime, the government en deavors to organize, in the most efficient manner, our naval resources. We allude to the appointment of Senor Willia Redolledo as Commander-in-Chief of the Cbillean squadron. Much is hoped from his activity and energy in shaking off the discouragement that at present oppresses our small squadron. Except the Covaclonga and the Esmeralda, which are,it is necessa ry to confess it, the two best ships we have, our fleet requires considerable repairs be fore they can be of any service. "Notwithstanding its weakness,our souad ron, united to the Peruvian iron -clads; and commanded by men like Tucker and Wil liams, will give the enemy some trouble. ; "The Peruvian opoosition,headed by Senor Saha, has caused a profound and painful impression in Chile. It coincides with the triumphant anticipations of sundry Spanish • journals which announce that in a short time Peru will have withdrawn herself from the alliance." • By the census completed on the 9th of April, 1866, the total population of Chile is 2,064,943. The area of Chile in square miles is 132.609. Foreigners resident in Chile, 23,- 220. There are &32 persons of from 100 to 140 years of age in the Republic. More rich gold mines have been found in Chile, near Copiapo. The returns of the election for President of Peru had not all come in, but no doubt the Dictator,Col. Prado, is elected. His com petitor, 01. Balta, had been sent off to sea in the Government steamer Sachaca, and had arrived at Arica on his way to Chile, with several other persons of note, on the charge of inciting revolution against the Dictator. Gen- Vargas Machuca and the other officers arrested le - Arequipa on the same charge, are still in prison at Callao, A Lima paper says that whilst the Peru vian war steamer Putumayo was exploring the river Pachitea, a tributary of the Ama zon, some Carribean Indians came down to the bank where the vessel was anchored. and byfriendly demonstration induced Capt. Tavara,'Lieut. Albert West and some sailors to go on shore; they had gone but a little way from the beach when the savages killed the two officers, and the sailors barely saved their lives by running to the ship. There appears little doubt that the unfortunate ( fficers were eaten by the savages, as no traces could be found of their remains. A correspondent at the Chinchas, of the Panama Star, writes : "The shipping here averages about 90 sail, and the guano is disappearing so fast that another two and a half or three years at most, will probably find the Chinches deserted and guanoless; Lnce again the necropolis for the seals and aquatic birds that frequent the Pacific Seas."

Defendant's wagon, driven by an employe at a rapid rate, ran over , her before she had time to arise, and she was thus severely. in jured. The jury in rendering this verdict have taught the reckless drivers ofvehioles that pedestrians have some rights which they are bound to respect.

After the executioner has performed his office he is surrounded by gendarmes and loaded with chains and taken to prison, and thence before an examining magistrate, when the following dialogue takes place : "You are accused of having taken the life of a man." "Yes," answers the executioner, "it is true." "What was your motive for the crime?" "To obey the law and fulfill the the mission confided to me by justice," An indictment is then drawn up, and on the following day the man is taken before the tribunal, which immediately pronounces an acquittal, and the prisoner is liberated after his confinement of twenty-fqx hours. AMPLE SCOPE.—The Princess Dagmar, of Denmark, professed the Greek faith on the 24th October, and on 25th Oetober was be trothed to Alexander, heir apparent of Russia. Sheuld this lady live, says the London Spectator, she and her sister, the Princess of Wales, a few years since living almost in obscurity in a German town, will be the wives of men ruling, really or nomi nally, one-half the world, and a clear third of the human race. Indeed E if they divide China between them, quite a possible event, but one-third of mankind will live outside their dominions.
