Itorre.Apondenee of tno Philadelphia Evening Bunotin.l PAWN, March dth, 1868.—1 am glad to be able to send you by the same mail which may per naps bring - you -- istit - tun warhifc — ateuorallons o certain continental and English newspapers, the mobt complete and out-spoken official refutation of such inventions which has over been vouch iafed to us by an imperial minister. In my last etter, I represented (in the very teeth of the •umors above referred to) the state of Europe as one of restored confidence and zanquillity. I think this is becoming evident )n all sides. Certainly, in this country it Is Im ,Jossible to mistake the signs of reviving anima ,ion in almost every branch of commerce, conse pent upon what is regarded as the consolida ion of peace. And as this change is observable 'lmongSt men of business, so %Lis also in the of- Wel circles of political life. No ono can attend !yen the receptions of the Minister of Foreign .kffairs without remarking that the tone of con 'fersation there has completely altered of late, nd that anxiety and distrust of the allus ion of affairs have given place to the Ook and expression of men who feel that they ;.re once more sailing in smooth waters. Nay, 'his very observation has been made with respect kw the Emperor himself; and those who approach eareat his person, even without sharing in his ,iolitical confidence (supposing anyone to do so), 'lave been struck with, the eao. and BROW hi 7. nrity exhibited of late in his Majesty's manner. lust, however, as things assumed this aspect, when the Italian question is no longer Iven spoken of, when the King of Prussia ? tits forth most pacific declarations, and Prince lapoleon li t arrived on a friendly visit to Ber n, 'some oliticians, desperately hard up for incitement, treat themselves aed their readers to revival of the "Eastern question" (that Landing bug-bear which is never quite out of 100 1 , and reproduce it in altogether a novel arm. This time the United• States are brought for a largo share in the transaction, and are, appears, -about to take in hand, with Rua 'a and Prussia, the general affairs of Europe. ;here really are people who seem to believe Il this and who will tell you gravely that Antral Farragut's "naission"—(for no . indi `idual of 'distinction can now move without 'clog accused of having one)—that Admiral !arragut's mission to Florence is to persuade ietor Emmanuel to make a fourth in the above -- tpartite alliance for giving Constantinople to ilesia and a "port in the Mediterranean" to America! I hope the people of the United States will feel satisfied with themagnificent share in the apolia opima attributed to them for the trouble they are so kindly about to take in settling the affairs of Europe ; and that the "port in the Mediterranean" will prove a sufficient compensa tion for the war they are about to wage against "France, England and Austria" in order to obtain it! But, is' I began this letter by saying, such wild imaginings have received a far more serious refutation than they deserved. The imperial government evidently, however, desired an op- portunity for making a pacific declaration in the sense and with the force and distinctness which the changed position of political affairs now enabled and called upon it to do. This opportu nity presented itself very appropriately yesterday during the discussion of the annual conscription bill for the levy of 100,000 men for the army. On a reference being made to the political state of Europe, Id.Ronher arose, and in the most em phatic manner said that be "had the satisfaction of declaring to the Corps Legislatif that the diplo matic relations of France with the Powers of Europe gave the Governinent the pro- found conviction that peace would not be troubled. Never did greater "cordiality," he asserted, "reign amongst the dif ferent Powers." "The clouds which a few months ago obscured the horizon were now com pletely dispersed." This declaration he declared to be the "precise expression of the policy of the GoVernment." The above important declaration immediately produced the best effect on the Bourse and on the public mind. Following neon what I laid before you in my last letter, it completely con firms the other pacific manifestations there spoken of and the conclusions I then drew from theni. In fact,peace is once more completely In the see ndant. Its far as. Europe is concerned; and the point of the distant horizon towards which all eyes and all attention are at this moment most fixedly directed lies. not Eastward. but West. ward—not towards Constantinople, but towards Wabbington. The Corps Legislatif has passed the bill for calling oat the conscription of 100,000 men for the prebent year, rejecting all amendments which propoß dto reduce the number to 80,000. The government, however, in accordance with the policy above declared, was careful to define the measure as one based on the si vis paces para hdlitm principle. Marshal Neil, the Minister of War. In his speech professed to give an example of the good results of such a system. lf, said he, during the recent events in Germany, France had - I•ll3,6lsofewermen under arms,as would have been the case had the opposition succeeded in reducing the contingent, "we should at this mo ment, I am persuaded, have been Involved in a general war." What. the Marshal meant was ibis: that it, after the battle of Badowa, France had been less strong than she was, Prussia %could not have listened to her remonstrances at Prague, but would have insisted on marching forward to Vienna. In which case the Emperor, rather than see Austria struck cut of the list of European Powers, would have gone to her assistance, and so led to a gene ral conflict. And it cannot be denied that there is some truth In the statement. A curious incident came to my knowledge the other day, which has nowhere been publicly rpoken of. The Italian government, on the request of the people of Venice, determined to remove the body of the illustrious Manin, whiph lies in PCre la Chaise, in order to deposit it under a public monument in his native city, which he ro nobly defended. It was intended to take the body from its present resting place with t-ome ceremony. and the Italian Minister in Paris, the Chevalier Nigra, and other official persons were to be present. Bat the pollee heard of what was proposed, and strict orders were immediately issued that no demonstration of any kind would be permitted ; that if the body was taken away, it must be at night, and that the delegation ap pointed to receive it must wait for it across the frontier. It is scarcely possible to conceive a more ungenerous or pusillanimous policy. An Em pire which boasts to be the production of the na tional will, and strong enough to defy all Its ene mies, dares not admit a public homage to be paid to the mortal remains of a patriot republi can! MRS. R. LIM BL 11:n9 NotwithEtan urday, Concert Hall was more than two-thirds filled with an audience of people who seemed willing to brave fire and flood rather than miss the enjoyment of one of Mrs. Kemble's readings. The play was "Romeo and Juliet," and was, throughout, delivered with all the rare genius which Mrs. Bemble displays in every lnterpreta tion of Shakespeare. The play is "cut" with an unsparing but masterly hand, and the whole es sential story of the loves of Juliet and Romeo is preserved with a singular unity of effect,although several whole scenes are eliminated from the original work. Thus Mrs. Bauble commences with the second scene, omits the third, and so throughout the play, and yet mars no beauty and misses no salient point in any of the characters. It is vain and unnecessary to give anything like an analysis of the whole performance. Mer cull°, with his gay conceit and quick gallantry, was admirable. His "Queen Mab" was given with exquisite beauty and spirit, and to the evi dent delight of the audience, while his death scene was atartingly true to reality. The three central characters,—for the old Nurse disputes the supremacy with Romeo and Jnilet,—were sus tained with all Mrs. Kemble's wonderful versa ,tility. The two immortal lovers walked and vowed and mused, and lived and died before our very eyes, carrying all sympathies with them, from the first scene among the maskers of the Capulets, to the last, where Juliet dies upon her lover's body, and where Mrs. Kemble concludes the play. Many of the passages by Janet were given with wonderful force and beauty. The love scene in Capulet's garden,the "Gallop apace, yob, flory-footed steeds," and the terrible apostrophe to the drug with which. she is to simulate death, are among the finest illustrations of the delicate, coy tenderness, the passionate love and the high- , wrought desperateness with which Mrs. Remble invests Joliet The Nurse , is the very perfection of what John son calls a " loquacious and secret, obsequious and Insolent, trusty - end dishonest" old .woman. In many passages she convulsed the audience with her provoking, tantalizing ways, and, in the scene when she brings Romeo's message back to Juliet, and the poor girl almost dies with impa tience while she goes off in a sudden tit of lumba go, Mrs. Kemble set her audience fairly into a roar. Many other specially flue points might be 6beep were also in demand; 3,000 head arrived d sold at 73@8c. per lb. gross, as to con dition. Hogs were rather lower; 3,500 head sold at the different yards at sl3@tl4 per 100 lbs. nett. MAN BTM - IBM—A young man named John Walker was stabbed last evening on Wood street, clove Twelfth. It seems that Walker and a man amed James M. Lanagan were talking to a wo man. Walker and Lanagan had some words,and thr n the latter is alleged to have struck the ,for wer. Walker fell into the street. A friend went to his assistance, and then ho said that he had balc stabbed. He had been cut in the side, but his wound is not considered dangerous. Lana can ran away and was pursued to Eleventh and Vine streets, where he entered a house and was captured by Deputy Constable Murphy. The rritoner had a hearing this morning before Ald. Massey-, and was held to await the result of the injuries of Walker. Cttatsrres CONTENTION.—The Christian Con cretion for Eastern Pennsylvania, Western New Jersey and Delaware, to be composed of Ministers :end Laymen of all Evangelical den cimination s, will tet in the Penn Square Presbyterian Church, Broad street, above Chestnut, this evening, and its sessions will be continued during Tuesday and \Vcdnesday. This evening addresses of welcome will be made by Rev. Richard Newton, D. D. and Judge Strong, of this city, to be followed tiy , an ddress on "Christian Activity," by Rev. John na, D. D, of New York. •ROMEO AND !!MI!VM Ronermr.—On Saturday evening, between 7 and 12 o'clock, the house of Anton Remmert, No. 907 Poplar street, was entered through a back third story-window, which was reachat.by means of a ladder obtained from the yard of the next building. The room was ransacked, and freni one of the bureau drawers $BOO in U. S. 7-:;0 bonds and $l4O in U. S. demand notes were taken. At the time the robbery was com mitted lkir.Remmert was in his lager beer saloon, on the first floor. WOOD ELiNoixos.—The parlor of No. 917 Walnut street, where the application of the wood hangings to plastered walls is on exhibition, con tinues to be visited by thousands of our citizens. We notice among the recent proceedings of the Pennsylvania Legislature that a charter was granted for the formation of a company to man ufacture this new and already popular article. The stock is being rapidly subscribed to. A large number of orders for the hangings have already been given. TArrura n TILL.—A young man, named Michael J. Brady, was arrested on Saturday, upon the charge of attempting to rob the money drawer of a stall in the Farmers' Market. Dur ing the temporary absence of the lessee of the stall, he made an excuse aboutgetting a basket, and was caught with his hand W. the till. Brady was committed by Alderman Jones. ASSAULT.-A -- UNPROVOKED A colored man, while passing Seventeenth and Market streets, yester day afternoon, was attacked without prfwoca don by an Irishman named Pat Kane, and was knocked down. Kane was arrested, and after a hearing before Ald. Jones, was held in $4OO bail for trial. FRICII MASONBr.--King & Baird have just pub lished a handsomely printed Abstract of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania during the last year.

COAT THlEF.—Thomas Henry, a negro, has been committed by . Alderman Dougherty, for the larceny of a coat froin Bloedgood's Hotel, at the foot of Walnut street. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1868. noted in Saturday's entertainment, but time and space forbid further enlargement. The second series commences this evening. The terrible Charge of the Six Hundred up the stairs of Concert Hall is not to be repeated,but the audience will be able to get in leisurely and com fortably. It is to be hoped that no one will be rude enough to disregard the reasonable request for punctuality, but if there is any repetition of the fashions of New York, for which we have suffered so severely during the past week, there should be such a prompt demonstra tion by the audience as will convince both the reader and the intruder that Philadelphia audi ences respect the proper wishes of a lady, and will not consent to be annoyed by those who are indifferent to the rules which govern all well mannered people. Tho play, to-night, is "King John." On Wed nesday afternoon, Mrs. Kemble reads ••Twelfth Night," on Friday night, "The Merchant of Venice;" and on Saturday afternoon concludes with "Hamlet."

Not only the daily observation of facts, bat also by the testi mony of deserters from the enemy, who escape every day to our camp, we can plainly conceive ourselves that Lopez is in a most precarious position. Want of food clothing and resources heighten his ferocious instincts and increase every ".moment his cruelty towards those wretches at the cost of, whose livea he yet seeks to support • declining power. At the same time that continual desertion from the Paraguayan ranks is the unequivocal signal of demoralization and discortragement; in the allied army on the contrary, Is to 6e seen the greatest enthusiasm, and that courageous impa tience which Is the forerunner of great victories. We have advices of an expedition to Assumption, and 6,000 men have entered the Quito. The first of these operations can bring about Imme diately a definite result. The second will render the enemy's safety„more,impossible, why these means all the communications with the • interior will be Intorcepted,and lie be thus ' obliged' tp render , in front of their* walipf an impenetra ble bloCkade. . Our squadron °Continues to bombard the Para guayan fortresses, and according to the latest ac counts we bave from there, we are potiltively told that something very serious wasgoing ,to be at tempted by water. The river has fallen as rapidly TiDi SNOW AND THE STRICT:IN.—The great snow • storm of. Saturday ceased about three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun came out bright and warm. As the frost was pretty well out of the ground the snow did not cling to the pavements, and by'nightfall the sidewalks of the city were nearly all cleared and were in a dry condition. Under the warm influence of the atmosphere yes terday the snow almost entirely disappeared from the house•tops, and much of it in the streets melted. The streets occupied by the passenger railways are not In the beat of condition however. The ordinance of April 1, 1859, provides that the passenger railway companies "shall be required to keep a pant - lye-way for carte and vehicle 4 clear of snow in the winter season, on each side of their track or railway." This has not been done. The snow thrown from the rail way tracks and the sidewalks is piled up on each side of the sheet, and in a great many places car riages and other vehicles have great difficulty in getting along: Walnut street is blocked up for squares, as it has been nearly all winter. Arch street, which has two tracks, has a ndge of snow on each side and one in the centre. As there is uo ice, and the ground is not frozen, these snow mountains in a few days will probably be among the things of the past. Hew A THIEF ESCAPEI).—On Saturday two men entered the tailor store of N. Rifler, No. 426 North Eighth street. While one was being mea sured for a snit of clothes the other helped him self to some goods and left the store. Mr. Eltier observed the transaction. He seized the fellow who remained and handed him over to a citizen. He then started in pursuit of the thief. During the chase the thief threw away the stolen goods and also divested himself of a white overcoat he bad on. He was finally captured and taken back to the store, when Mr. Eater failed to re cognize him, and said that the man he wanted wore a white coat. The fellow was then let off. In a few minutes the white coat was talc n into the store, and then it was found that a mistake bad been made, but it was coo late to remedy it. The man who was captured gave his name as George Read, and was committed by Alderman Massey.c SUICIDE.-Wm. J.

The War in Parannai—Affairs in Brazil., Correspondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin as it rose, but as soon as it rises again the oppor tunity will be immediately taken advantage of. While all this information, conning from un biased sources, makes us foram great and ap proaching events,some unjust and ever turbulent minds have sought, both here and in the pro vinces, to speculate, by the delay of definite news to seek to disturb the international peace, imagining not only unheard-of dissensions be tween the members of the Imperial family, but also provoking conflict's against the govern ment, and causing their folly, if net condemnable proceeding 4, to degrade the noble Marquis of Caxcas, whose worth, judgment and valor the whole nation recognizes. It is to be lamented that besides a few mercenary foreigners, some Brazilians have also become the echo of such deplorable and miserable machinations. Don Pedro 11. is recognized by , the whole world as one of the most talented and patriotic sovereigns of the day. His virtues, his talents, and the refined love of his country, are gifts which make him respected by and endeared to all in the empire, and it can be said with truth that Brazil owes' to him all the great acts that have so distinguished her in the march. of pro gress and civilization. The Prince Count d'En, so worthy, both by the elevated qualities of his character, and the dedi cation end talent with which he evotes himself to every improvement useful to the country, far from having the slightest miaunderstandlug with his august father-in-law, but a short while since presented to the government an important me• morial relative to means of communication in the province of Amazon, which highly recom mends him to the public sympathy and gratitude. Wile speaks of the Province of the Amazon speaks of a new world, in one of the territorial divisions of Brazil destined yet to represent a magnificent role in an auspicious destiny of its future. The Marques of Caxcas, whose health was in a precarious state when he left for Paraguay, ap pears preserved by Providence to realize his high designs, and continues to be not only looked up to by the nation as a guarantee of victory in war, but also to be the idol of the whole army. Notwithstanding this, the incredulous seek to disturb the public tranquillity, to excite people's minds, to fire passions, instigated by the bad im pulse of personal ambition and lorivate interests. (Correspoildeni e cif the N. V BUENOS AYRICE JanuarY 26.—The ead story of drought, cholera and war all at once, is con firmed by every day's news. There have been seine rains, but the drought has been very se vere. Animals are dying; sheep are driven away to seek better pasture,' and all kinds of stock are poor and weak. The cholera has now extended over all this and the neighboring republic. In all the towns and through all the country there. is one sad and , universal cry of distress. The na tives ale so ninon afraid of cholera that o ten persons are abandoned by their friends and left to die alone, when they might have lived if they could have had care. The unfortunate victims are often leftin the ranchos, where they lie until some one sets fire to the ranch, or one comes with a horse-and --- lasso - and — the - body --- is dragged out upon the open pampa. The traveller formerly sought a tree where he might rest or lodge for - the night, but the trees are now avoided, for towards them the bodies ere dragged and left. Soon the clean skeleton or the scattered.bones are all that is left. Across a region of hundreds of miles in extent this ruin is spread. Physicians, remedies and assistance are otten wanting, and many die from fright and others from want of attention. In thls city-the. Government has been induced to negotiate for supplying the city with water and with sewer age, and no expense is spared to place the city in a healthy condition. The utmost activity pre vails in cleansing and whitewashing In every part of the city. An immense improvement is already noticeable, and the peop.te demand the best at tention to these things. Yesterday this city was startled by the death of Dr. John M. Leslie, one of the most eminent physicians here. tHe was a very successful phy sunan,.and made himself especially useful to the poor. A very large concourse of citizens fol lowed him to the grave. Various eminent mer chants at d farmers who can be poorly spared from this community have fallen. Among Americana we have not had one single death from the epidemic in this city. At Rosario there helve died two : Hon. John W. Dana, Esq., ex-Governor of Maine, and ex- Minister to Bolivia, from Fryeburg, Maine, and Mrs. Mary Barker, wife of Clark H. Barker. Esq., formerly of Delaware, Ohio. On the 21st inst., in this city, died Major-General Alexander Asboth, Minister resident near the Ar gentine Republic at Uruguay. He had suffered under an incurable disease of the bowels for about a year, enduring indescribable pain, and being wasted finally to a mere skeleton. Ile was attended successively by over fifteen physicians, and often had councils, but neither remedy nor relief was ever found. In his funeral honors the most marked respect was paid to him both by his countrymen and by the people and the gov ernment of this country. The funeral . was attended by nearly all his countrymen, by the Minister of State, the Go. vernor of the Province and two ministers, and by all the diplomatic corps. The funeral carriage was dease n hv hnr.u.a. tror..Axl. by sevei al mourning coaches and private ctrri sges of the various legations, and about fifty pri vate carriages. A company of artillery, with draped bugles. attended as a guard of honor. The General made a will dated two or three months ago, disposing of his property. The day before his death he made a codicil which did not change any particular in the will. (Correspondence' of the Y. Table:loJ V.tt.c.vamso, Feb. 17.—We get contradictory accounts of the progress toward Chile of the cholera, and some of our transandlue despatches show its arrival at Mendoza, but the accuracy of this report is regarded doubtful. A form of prayer is being circulated among the poor at the mod at price of three cents a copy, as a warder off of the pestilence. This Is certainly a cheap, if not an efficacious preservation. The lamentable trouble is that its circulation tends to retarded the measures which were being taken by the city to purify the dens and streets occu pied by the superstitions buyers of this orison— which emanated no one knows how—part of the city which will longest harbor the scourge should It come in our midst. Honorably to the better portion of Chile, this spurious document has been promptly denounced. The papers both in Santiago and this city have cried loudly for the apprehension and punishment of the im poster. At the same time that this pretendedly-genuine palladium against cholera has been sell lag among the priest ridden miserables of the country, we get word from Talca that an American mission ary, the Rev. Mr. Gilbert, of Santiago, was stoned In the streets, and indignantly driven from the house into which he had gathered a tow of the more liberally-inclined adherents to the Mother Church, to hear the Word of God. This was "taking the bull by the horns;" and, although Mr. Gilbert got worsted in the encounter, the fu ture results of it are such as could never have been derived from the negative and Indirect at tacks which go out .from the missionaries' pulpit chairs In their comfortable churches supported and filled by Protestant congrega tions.
