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

his wound is not considered dangerous. Lana

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.

Ronermr.—On Saturday evening, between 7
and 12 o'clock, the house of Anton Remmert,

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.

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

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."

Rio Jelsizizo, February 7th, 1868.—Under the
apparent inactivity which 'surprises some and
favors the rash tiretensions of others, everything
seems to show that great events are preparing at
the seat of the war, and -that a general feat of
arms, attempted by the allied army against Par
aguay, will very shortly take place. 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

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.

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.

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

which emanated no one knows how—part of
the city which will longest harbor the scourge

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
