Nuts, Tuesday,Deeember 8,1867 _"--The Roman expedition has already furnished the' subject for a two days' dis,cuasien in the ilenate,and a speech of seventeen columns of the lifoniteur, by M. Jules Fevre, in the Corps Legislatlf. When I say that such lengthy incidents as the above can be noticed only in a very cursory manner within the dimensions of this letter, I state what la`only too painfully felt by one.who, like myeelf, has just laboriously waded through this mass of French forensic eloquence, in order to place your readers, by a few short sentences, In possession of its ratite. I pro ceed,at once, then, to say that after a violent and bigoted speech from Cardinal de Bonnechose, the orator of the clerical party who demanded o the Imperial government nothing less than tha it should maintain the temporal power of the Papacy at all costs and hazards, by a permanent reoccupation of Rome, if necessary, or even by a complete dieruption of the new kingdom of Italy—the Minister of Foreign Affairs 'Tose to state the policy of the Emperor. He did this, it must be- allowed,_ with - great moderation, alike of language and sentiment; and if his con clusions stop short of what we would desire, and still leave the French government entangled in this "second Mexico" which it has created for itself in Europe, they at least entirely repudiate the reactionary and antiquated ecclesiastical vio lence of the clerical party. What the Minister in fact says is this: That the present intervention at Rome is of an essentially temporary character, caused by the spur of the moment, and that the government deaires nothing so earnestly as to come away again as soon as posaible. No hostility is meant by it to the unity of Italy, to which the imperial government Is quite friendly, and in the permanency of which it fully be lieves. ..The Emperor still hopes, we are told, by means of a Conference to reconcile "united Italy and the Papacy, as it now exists, with each other." All the Catholic Powers. the Minister tells us, except Spain, positively refused to meet in any Conference which should be exclueively Catholic ; it wag' necessary, therefore, to appeal to all the Powers generally. The Pope, we learn, adhered at cnce, and without any delay, to the proposition, by simply saying that "he would send a Plenipotentiary to maintain all his rights." As to ' the period for evacuating the Papal territory, the Minister said that he had just Written to Italy to say that it would depend mainly, if not abso lutely, on the meeting of the Conference, and, that therefore the sooner that event took place the better. After these explanations, the Senate expressed itself satisfied, and eatahort the debate by voting the order of the day,without consenting exercise any pressure upon the policy of the overnment. The discussion in the Senate has I been satisfactory, in so far as the extreme cleri cal party has met with much least favor from that body than it hoped, - and - `the government also has entirely repudiated its more extravagant p.ssiensions. But, as Ihave remarked, the gov ernment still persists obstinately in , the "fix" into which it has squeezed itself, between Italy and the Papacy, instead of irassiug them to take care us A t)." fn the notice of the really magnificent speech just delivered by Jules Fevre. Never before, perhaps, did the great republican orator do such com plete justice at once to his subject and himself. He went step by step, with irresistible logic and clearness, through the whole Roman question until lie landed the government. by its own act and deed, and by its own faults and blunders, in the inextricable dilemma in which it now stands. He showed how France herself had violated at once the Convention of September and her oWn enlistment laws, by maintaining de facto a virtual portion of the French army at Rome after she had stipulated to leave it, and by authorizing the Bishops to enlist for the Pope soldiers of the - reserve, especially set apart by the enlistment act for French service. And now, asked, Jules Fevre, which will you do? Yon once, he, con tinued, declared that you would never • quit Mexico until the throne of Maximilian was es tablished. But when the Republic of the United States, delivered from civil strife, pointed with imperious gesture to the shore, you hastened docilely away. Yon were compelled to do it, and I blame you not. You abandoned that- un happy Prince with whom you had signed a treaty whose execution was incompatible with the in terests of France. I ask you then to do the same with the Treaty of the 15th September, 1864, and you cannot refuse, unlees, indeed, you reply that you adhere to treaties only when you can enforce them against the weak, but abandon them when called upon to maintain them against the strong ! And with this stinging and withering sarcasm the great orator leaves the Second Empire and its Ministers to get but' of their dilemma as well as they can. The Conference seems likely to go on, and will probably meet, if only for the reason that none of the parties invited have had the wish or the courage to say no. But little is hoped from its results'. There is much uneasiness and much suffering abroad just now, and the winter season opens in auspiciously. The Empress and the Prince Im perial are said to be going to Nice for the health of the latter, and this will add dullness to the dearness and scarcity of food, of which the popu lation of the Capital are now complaining so heavily. At a moment when- every one is corn - - plaining• so dreadfully of the price of bread in France, one cannot but won der at the sums which the public is willing to pay to the Government in the shape of duty on tobacco, an article which is not, it must be ac knowledged, to be accounted amongst_ the essen tial necessaries of life. The sale of tobacco, as is well known, is in France, as in many European states, a government monopoly. No tobacco is allowed to be sold in France except what is im ported by the State. By far the larger - portion of this is imported in bulk, and made up in the Government manufactories. But of late years, as the taste, for smoking has. not only increased in regard to quantity, but has become more 'fastidious and exacting also as to quality, tim Goverrouent has found it necessary, to cater to this demand by supplying the very finest [specimens of ',Havana-made , cigars, Formerly the hlgheat_priced clears-you could' purchase in France were • the five sous cigares de la regie ; and If you wanted better you must. either have 'recourse to smuggled goods, or eiSe import yourself, which you could only do after endless formiilities, great expense and trouble, and of s 'value not much short of $l,OOO.

FARM, December 2d, 18b7.—The all-absorbing topic of conversation, and the one that con tinues to keep the political, world In excitement, is the still =settled Roman question. In his late speech In the Senate, the Marquis de Maus tier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, entered into details about the relations of the French govern ment with the Holy See, and endeavored to jus tify the actions of the former in regard to their Italian policy. He hopes that the European Conference proposed by Napoleon for the settlement of the difficulties in Rome will take place; and mentions, in the course of his speech, the great services which France "had rendered to Italy." Now, in regard to the Conference, lam at liberty to state that very few in this city believe that it Will ever meet, and it is likely that the Emperor himself and his Cabinet have given up all hopes by this time that his favorite plan will, meet with sue cess. h 7 e division of the French troops sent to Atone ve been recalled; the remainder, M. Mousti r says, will return as soon as the security of the-Pope renders their presence in the vicinity of the Holy City useless. The troops are in Civita Vecchia, and may remain there 'for a long time. . Nay, I venture to predict that the French Government does not intend to withdraw them, for fear of another national outbreak in Italy, and in spite of its protestations in favor of Italian unity, it has undoubtedly embraced the cause of the Pope and , the clerical party Napoleon is now so far committed to a quasi ? alliance with the Roman cause, that in the. eventuality of the Italian nation's making common cause with the . Cabinet of Florence for the purpose of uniting Italy by, force, of arms, the French Govern ment woOld probably send an army, to combat that siMX: - Movement towards a united Italy which France inaugurated in 1859, and for which the :blood 'of-•ready , a brave soldier was splliffd on the ,battiorliekla of Magenta and Solferino. The vacillating x?liejerhich anitribntes to complicate matterS still. more, and encourages the French government in its self-adopted role of guardian of Italy. A reconciliation of the Italian govern ment, however, with Rome, such as M. Monstier Is aiming at, seems an impossibility; for the Jesuit party, under the leadership, of Cardinal Antonelli, have explained in unequivocal terms the impossibility of the Holy Father's re maining in Rome, if that city should become united with the Italian kingdom; while, on the other hand, the spirit of the Italian people is roused to such a height that not a month would elapse before the straw quo would be endangered by the movements of the Garibaldi' faction. It is, under these circum stances, hard to foresee the end of the present complications; but, another war, on Italian ground, or. : for the cause of Italy, appears to be threatening. In the meantime, the programme of armed peace, as proclaimed in the.lmperial speech, is the same which the sovereigns of Eu rope appear to have almost unanimously adopted. On our eastern frontier, along the borders of Prussia and Austria, the military force which has been gathered there has assumed the strength of regular army, corps. This armed force, or, to use the right word, these preparations for a gigantic struggle, have caused distrust and anxiety_ in commercial circles+, and. we cannot look forward to a' healthy and sound business before the clouds have disappeared which have BO long covered the political horizon. (correspondence of the Pidadelehla•Everdna Bulletin.] ArLitsrrie Car, Dec. 15, 1867.—We are, and have been since Wednesday last, ,ioropletely cut off from all communication with the outer world, except as some venturesome pedestrian foots it from Abeecom, seven miles, over hummocks of ice, and wading waist deep in water, to this city and back again. Only one case of this character has occurred,l and that Wrtg yesterday, while a pelting snow-storm from the northwest came in blinding.. drifts, rendering it sometimes almost impossible to see a dozen yards ahead. With this bold adventurer I despatched to you a short mee sage concerning our situation here, but have not yet heard whether he reached Absecom in safety or otherwise. On Friday afternoon a party of gentlemen re siding here, who had been away and could not get liOme, attempted to come over,. They started about two o'clock. The party consisted of our agent here, Lewis Evans, NVilliam Fleming E. S. Westeott, George Bryant, J. J. Moore, Henry Wootton and a Mr. Fritz. They waded for about a mile and a half, when three of them gave oat, and were obliged to return half perished. The others persevered' on towards this city, bUt the farther they advanced the wortle and more dan gerous their way became, until they grew alarmed for their own safety. The weather was bitterly cold, and as soon as they reached a little strip of dry land their clothes were frozen into ice. In this condition.-they reached a point on the meadows known as Adams's ditch. There they found a small boat, whidh they took and rowed to a 'gaol) lying in the bay close by. This they reached about dark. They went on board, found things in a comfortable condition, struck a tire, and succeeded in drying their clothing and warm ing themselves. -On _this _vessel: they_ stayed -alt night. In the morning, taking advantage of the low tide, they' succeeded, after incredible bud ships, in"-reaching this city. Mr. Wootton had some of hie fingers frozen.

In order to make a permanent and available check to such encroachments of the waves,a solid and substan tial wall should be made along the entire iplet front. It is to be hoped our New Jersey delega tion in Congress will urge upon that body the necessity of appropriating, at an early day, a sum sallicient to build such a much-needed pro tection. Aube present time an interesting protracted meeting is in progress in the Methodist Church, which will be continued, with indications of meat success. Severalpersons have signified an inclination to unite with the Church. The\ to League of this city have deter mined to give a grand supper and entertainment on the twenty-second of February. These odea sions are heightened in interest by able speeches, surge and other patriotic proceedings. The public are under obligations to this loyal orga nization for their only entertainments during the winter months. AIM VIIIIIKENTS. JANATTOCIIIX eT THu Cintarntrr.—Last evening. the Chestnut Street Theatre was well attended by .au ap preciative audience, assembled to witness the initial rierfonnance in this city of Mdlle. Fanny Janatischek, the meat dlatingnished actress of the German stage of 'the ptesent day. As might have been expected, our German play-goers turned out in full force to do honor to their countrywoman, although there was , also a fair representation of the native American population, who were equally hearty in their applause and as warmly appreciative of the lady's merits. Mdlle.Jananachek has an impoeing appeara nce, .a haudsome and expresidve face, and she is certainly an actress of very remarkable ability. Thou who visited the Chestnut Street Theatre, however, with a view of instituting a cemparison with Elston. must have been disappointed. The Italian and German actresses have nothing in common, and the schools of art which they represent are so decidedly opposite that they present no points of identity by which a comparison can be made. Thcee who admire Rider' will probably be disposed to underrate the talents ofJanauscheit while the countrymen of the last named lady will not admit that she has an equal,much less a superior. ••,tirt the modern stage. Janus Ants " Medea" ie a very different affair front that of Lori, or of any actress who has hitherto at tempt the representation of the character on the American stage, and Grillrramers tragedy is as distinct from ttuit of-Legonve, with which our playgoers are familiar, as are the two achools of dating which Janau schek_and Bistori upresent, The -Genhans do nor seek to render. their performances effective by elabep. rawly worked, up situations and telling.,ppintet. but and the resulf . is, a ct " etrikuietil the re p resent'- - ma which is seidemween when the other couraele adopted, Both methods have their advantages and their imenliar merits, andthe • preference for either 'may be much a matter et individual taste. For oar own part, we ad mire the style of Rietori more than we do that of Janauechek, and we consider it more truly , artistic. Jananachek in her "Medea" represents a barbarian woman, a sorceress-and a criminal, who lovea fondly and who, to retain the love of the man upon whom her affections are fixed, buries the implements of her nefarious art and seeks to bury with them her past life, and to adapt herself to the civilization of the ea clety to which "Jason" has introduced her. This civi lization: however, she cannot understand, and she sees that "Jason" feels her tote an incumbrance and wishes to get rid of her, while he has at the same time trans ferred his love to uotheat woman. She le rude, bar barous and passionate, loving fondly, bat when she firds that her love is not returned, taking a terrible and unnatural revenge, There is much passion in Jaimuschek's acting, but we feel the want of a climax, and it is too even to be absolutely thrilling In any por tion of the performance. The untamed barbarian wo man le presented to us with effect, and the various emotions are indicated with much artistic skill, but the style is declamatory and tends to monotony. This evening Mlle: Janawichek will appear as "Adrienne Lecouvreer." a part, that will require a dif ferent order of talent from that of "Medea." We do not wish to Judge decidedly in regard to the lady's abilities on the strength of one performance, and those of our readers who are curious on the subject should Bee the different representations that she will give this week, in order to make a fair estimate of the extent of her powers. Although we do not admire the "Medea" of Mdlle. Janattachek um:Leh aa some of her auditors at the Chestnut last evening appeared to—for she was called before the curtain three times amid enthusiastic cheers we admit frankly that she is au artist of distinguished talent and we consider her appearance at this time for tunate, as our play-goers will have an opportunity, to familiarize themselves with a style of histrionic art to which they are but little accustomed Mode Janauschek is well supported by her com pany, and the subordinate parts In the play last even ing were creditably represented, Fraulein Singer is erpecially to be commended for her personation of "Gore," the nurse. It was, in ice way, quite as good as the "Medea" of Mlle. Jananschek. Tus ITALIAN OermA,--The short season of Italian Opera at the Academy of Music was inanigurated last evening with one of tine largest and most fashionable audiences ever gathered within the wails of the Academy. if Trooatore included in its caste number of Philadelphia favorites, and llama. Lagrange hada° reason to complain of her reception. tier voice is still sufficiently powerful and flexible to give the music of "Leonora" with effect, while her dramatic ability covers whatever of defect one might discover in the singing. Miss Adelaide Phillips, with her excellent contralto voice much improved since her last appear ance here,was deservedly applauded throughout the evening. The new baritone, Sl 'n or Randolfl, did not make a favorable impression. Ms voice is too weak. Signor Brignoli gave the Meek of his, part correctly, and was well received, but he has not improved• in voice, method or acting. Altogether, the opera was given in quite an acceptable. manner.
