EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
[correspondence of fee Philadelphia Eventing Bullet:hal
Pants; March 20th.—On the lath, at Rome,
Cardinal Bonaparte received his red hat from
Mgr. Bleed, Chamberlain to Plus IX. In per
forming the ceremony, which took place at the
French Embassy, the Chamberlain said that his
Holiness had conferred on the Prince this high
dignity, not only to recompense his merits, but
at the same time to honor the generous nation,so
devoted to the Holy See, and the iliaatrious sover
eign who had rendered such immense services to
the Papacy. The Italian clergy, however, do not
seem to be of their chiefs opinion. The Concilia
tore, of Naples, has just published an
article, emanating from' the priests,
against the policy of Napoleon 111., of
such a vehement nature that it has stirred up the
ire of the entire - French press. Ia spite of all
the Emperor has done for the Pope, this journal
affirms that he has only reaped the profound
hatred of both Italian and French Catholics. It
says: "Those who affirm that the Chassopots de
fended the Papacy at Mentana are fools and liars.
Those rifles only defended the throne of Napo
leon III." It ends with these solemn words:
"Napoleon 111., Baron de Beust, and even the
House of Hapsburg will pass away—the Papacy
alone is permanent."
Count de Bismarck, it appears, is not so inde
pendent of the good opinion of Fatherland as is
generally supposed. Nay, morc,he is exquisitely
sensitive on this point. A letter which he wrote
some time since to a friend in Pomerania, and
which has just been made public, contains
sortie cerlons remarks relative to his political con
duct. One can almost, imagine them to be the
truthful - soliloquy of a great philosopher and
statesman. He says that, in his opinion, he is
`not sufficiently unscrupulous as a statesman,
but rather too timid, and that this Is because it is
net easy always to attain in politicsl questions that
dcarnt bleb gives confidence. Those,"he adds,
"who call me an unconscientious politician do me
hone.- They should try their own consciences
e,n the field of polities before accusing others of
tinconscientions." In regard to the matter
of the duel between him and Herr Von Virchow,
Lt• sass that he has now passed "the age when
ople thus follow the impulses of their fresh and
/As otl. It there is anything on which I stake my
li's. it is that beliet in whieh I have been con
firmed through a long and hard straggle, but also
through honorable and humble prayer before
God, and which no human persuasion—not even
that Oa friend in the Lord and a servant of his
clitiral—would shake me."
Whether the late algid the Prince Napoleon, o
Prussia was attended with any political imports
ance is a question which has been occupying the
minds Of amateur politicians for some days back.
With regard to this the Correspondence of Berlin
says: "Although the visit of Prince Napoleon to
Prussia was unconnected with any political mis
sion, H. I. H. has been able to perceive clearly
how solid and stable is the new order of things
established in Northern Germany. He must also
?I'M seen that the sentiment which predominates
. here, is a desire to keep up with the French nation
and its Government friendly! and pacific rela
tions." Very good; but France has now a reserve
of two million men, and her arsenals are sending
out chassepots at the rate of ten thousand a day.
In face of such powerful incentives to amity,it is
the best policy to erow softly.
As to what is going on in Paris—we are all at
sea, lying becalmed after the hurricane of the
Carnival. The Carnival is now over, and the
Parisians must wait another year for their an
nual round of madame. Yesterday was the last
and greatest day of the Mi carinie; Easter begins
to-day, and luxurious Paris is dining sumptu
ously on eggs and salad. On the monotonous
road of daily life there art several resting places.
One is the day we divote to amusements, another
the day we are bored, and another the day we
weep, and generally in our voyage from January
to December we come upon some of these land
marks. 'Yesterday was one of these. All busi
ness studies and occupations of every kind were
laid aside for furious and silly amusement. In
the morning the comfortable bourgeois reminds
himself while shaving that he has an appoint
ment with Andre to sign some contract,
or terminate some affair, and, chuckling,
thinks he will not regret his days work. "What
is the date?" he asks of his spouse. "The 19th,"
Madam replies,` it is the Mi careine." "Sapristi!
then I will not see Andre to-day; nobody at
tends to affairs to-day, everyone is benton plea
sure. Mafoi, let us do as the others,let us amuse
ourselves." The amusement! What is it.? The
programme is uniformand tradition admits of no
- atepping mat of - theliees - There - arc only - two
ways of amusing yourself to-day. The first con
sists in;setting into a cab, and promenading
leisurely along the boulevards,dressed in a Turkish
vt st and a,card-paper nose, and blowing vocifer
ously through a brass trumpet. The second is
to range yourself on one side of the route, with
the vest and nose aforesaid, and look on while
the pther half parades along discoursing
sweet music with the aforesaid braes
trumpets. Modern civilization, which has ia
vented the electric telegraph, the steam engine
and the Chaseepot, has yet found nothing better
to represent the joy of 0 people in holiday than
card-paper noses and brass trumpets. All is con
ventional. When a Frenchman is satisfied with
the Government, or when a particular circum
stance pushes him to declaim on the glory of
France, he must find vent for his feelings. This
he finds in his own peculiar way. He goes home,
gets a little pot of grease, puts a piece of tow
into it, lights it, and* places it outside his window
sill, as a visible sign to all men of his supreme
contentment. The Government .passes by, sees
the little pot, and rubbing its hands in glee,. con
gratulates itself thus: AA! Voila tin part:taller
qui eat Lien content de. mei. These practices are
found everywhere; they only change with
the latitudes. In Dahomey, for instance,
the public joy has another sequel.
On fete days they cut the heads off some two or
three thousand unfortunate blacks; no holiday
making is complete without a massacre. In
London they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes or.
the Emperor Theodore. That is the cockney
way of celebrating a jubilee. In Italy they rub
themselves over with flour, and, candle in hand,
parade about the streets, chanting hymns to their
favorite saints. Last night all the Paris balls
were crowded; the cafés were open all night, and
it was not till a late hour this morning thatthe
Parisians rested from their labors-sof amusement.
Well ! who knows what may happen in those
streete—only a few hours ago glittering with light
and the radiance cast from thousands of tin
selled .dresses, and echoing to the shouts of
revelry and song—before the next grand festival
of the .111 i canine. The barometer inclines to
"showery" and the sun is, tinged with red.
Rome seems the last place we would look to
for sporting intelligence, and his Holiness the
Pope the last we would think of as a patron and
spectator of field sports, and yet we bear of ,a
cricket match played within the eternal walla, at
which the Holy Father was only prevented by a
shower of rain - from "assisting." Thematek was
played in the Villa Borgheee, between eleven of
the PapalZonaves and eleven English visitors--s

The Coming Royal ivlarrlage in Italy.
(Coireopondenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.]
FLORENCE, March 20th, 1808.—The marriage
which is to be celebrated at Turin on the 22d of
next month, of Prince Humbert and Princess
Marguerite, the daughter of the much-loved and
long-lamented Ferdinand of Savoy, will, it
seems, give great end general satisfaction to all
Italy. Toward the Prince there is a general feel
ing of good-will, and much good Is predicted of
of Marguerite, the "Sub-alpine daisy," the future
Queen of Ittly; for those who know her weds
praise her fine finalities, her goodness of heart,and
firmness of character, and appreciate the excel
lence of life education she has received. It is doubt
ful if any Austrian ,bride would Lave been so ac
ceptable to the nation. What increases the
sympathetic interest taken by the people in the
coming marriage is its being a "love match.'
This interest has been warmly manifested by in
numerable addresses to the. King and in various
other ways. Cities i andl towns are preparing
splendid presents for the bride. This city will
offer a sevigne in brilliants, with a lily in the
centre, surrounded by daisies, thus
uniting the city's emblem with the
flower of which she bears the name. The Venetian
ladies will present beautiful Venetian lace in a
Mosaic coffer. Seven hundred Milanese ladies
have subscribed for an ivory writing-desk, with
paintings on a golden ground and ornaments to
end enamel. This last will be a master
ce of skill. Other cities will seek.to rival these.
fire festive demonstrations will be on a splendid
scale. The >s"/Ps in Turin will begin on the 19th of
April witlia grand ball. The following Monday
there is to be an illumination: the next day,
horse races, a serenade And a popular ball, The
that'll:lite will be solemnized on Thursday, and
on the following days there will be a tourna
ment, fireworks, horse races,
a banquet at court,
.1 court ball. corso, review, etc. 'The royal fam
ily will return to Florence on the 27th. The
Florence 6(6y will even rival 'those of Turin in
niagnificelce. The great feature of the
an here, according to the published de
tail', will be a tournament in which four bands
of troops, each consisting of thirty-two knights,
a leader, and a standard-bearer, will take part.
These bands will be formed in Florence, Turin,
Milan and Naples, but 'Will 'include gentlemen
from all parts of Italy. The knights will wear
the costumes of the various Italia. provinces in
the fifteenth century.
It is reported as probable that another brigade •
of the French troops now in the Papal States will
Loon be sent to France.
THEATRES. Etc.
EowIN Boorn's "Msciami."—Last night, for
the first time in five years, Mr. Edwin Booth re
presented "Macbeth" in this city. Why he has
thus neglected the character we do not know.
It may be that difficulty has been experienced in
procuring a satisfactory person to sustain the
character of "Lady Macbeth"—a difficulty, by
the Aay that has not yet been overcome—or it
may be that Mr. Booth has some personal objec
tion to appearing in the role. His strong parti
ality for Hamlet may be the result of a taste
which cannot find fullest satisfaction.in Macbeth.
The former is replete with thought and contem
-I,lative philosophy; the latter is filled with action
sad violence. It is certain, however, that Mr.
Booth need not fear to rest his fame
upon Macbeth more than upon II am
t. His performance last night was
a surprise even to those who have best
known his large capabilities. In the broadest
t , ense It was a complete and finished personation.
Mr. Booth carried his genius into every nook
and corner of the play until it blazed with mean
ing. Not a gesture was ill-timed; not a glance
ut the eye was forgotten; not a thought flashed
across his mind but moulded itself in his facile
countenance. The most minute details were
cared for with even more than Booth's customary
pains, and in the important matter of costume,
there was a nice historic propriety, made ouiy
more admirable by the artistic skill with which
the dresses were arranged, and the surpassing
gracefulness of the attitudes in which they were
eieplayed.
It may be questioned whether this impersona
tion is not tee greatest Mr. Booth has ever at
tempted. His "Hamlet" has always won highest
honor, but it is because Mr. Booth is more par
tial to it hiineelf, and not because 2h• character
is drawn by him with pore wonderful skill. Of
course the tragedy of Hamlet must always take
precodence of It acbeth as a subtle, intellectual
drama; but the latter is the more powerful, vivid
and terrible, and contains within itself pictures
of human weakness, crime.' suffering, remorse
and desperation t•hat have no parallel anywhere
to art, and are only frightful because they do
exist in nature.
. . .
The weird combination of the supernatural
Ind the natural—the real and unreal, in this
play give it unequaled tragic power. The witches
Are, of themselves, absurdities, but in their opera
tion upon the mind of the man whose destiny
they control for evil, they assume something of
the awfulness of those invisible agencies which
have actual existence, and do really lead men on
to do savage and remorseful deeds. Mr. Booth
accepts or creates the theory that the prophecy
of the witches simply awakens a suggestion that
already slumbers iu the mind of "Macbeth," and,
from the first, he perceives the cruel possi
bilities of the future. He dallies with it, as if
half willing to be controlled by the Indistinct
purpose which is to fashion out his destiny; and
(he seed of his wife's dark suggestion finds the
soil prepared to receive it and nourish it into
vigorous growth.
The first scene in which Mr. Booth displayed
absolute greatness was that in which, while alone
is the ante•chamber, he awaits the signal to, do
his bloody work. He is in an ecstasy of nervous
terror; his senses are acute almost to painfulness;
his nerves are strung to the highest pitch; a
whisper, the clanging of a door, a footfall,
the soughing of the wind, are intensified ten
thousand times to his hearing. He is nearly
afraid of his own motion; he creeps noiselessly
about the room, and examines every panel, until,
convinced that he is the prey of his own violent
imagination, he sinks convulsively upon the seat,
and, with his tense muscles utterly relaxed, begins
the soliloquy, "Is thisa dagger that I see before
me?" And. then ho goes in to do his bloody work
with the crouching, stealthy tread of a man who
is horror-stricken at the awfulness of his own re
solution.
The next scene, wheie he returns and meets
"Lady Macbeth," is the most appalling in dra
matic literature. Mrs. Biddone related, that when
she studied the play, she proceeded
calmly until she reached this episode, and then,
becoming horrified WM, vivid reality, she rushed
from the room in a Rfiroxlysm of terror, frightened
even by the rustlmg of her dress. Mr. Booth
does full justice to the text. Ile enters from the
chamber of the dead king looking at his blood
stained hands, and at 'the sound of his wife's
voice, urged by the instinct of self-preservation,
and the madness of his fright, he rushes upon her
with uplifted dagger as though he would smite
her also. The interview that follows is almost
pitiable in its wretched pathos.. Mr. Booth gave
it with exquisite truth and skill—and it was so
throughout. If one episode was batter than
than another, it was because the dramatist gave
larger Opportunity, not because the aster was
not equal to every occasion. . .
In the kit scene—the combat. with: Macduff,
the expression' of lir. Booth's face:was positively
fiendish. In It Were concentrated ell the ramonse,
the hstlit4 age, the wild, fierce deoperrAtion of a
- .
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
man who has staked honor, innocence, life, and
lost all.
We sincerely hope this most superb perform
ance may be repeated. Mr. Booth owes it to him
self to afford the puhhe an opportunity to see
him in what is, to nearly all, a new personation.
With almost every one ofhis favorite characters
we are thoroughly familiar. This is a noVelty which
will bear familiarity better than any of the
others.
01 Miss Mary McViciarr's "Lady Macbeth" we
will say but a few words. With. the great inter
pretations of this, the boldest of Shakespeare's
conceptions fresh in •ur minds—with distinct re
collection of Charlotte Cushman, aid, later of
Itietori, It is Impossible to award any high degree
of merit to the effort of Miss Melvicker. We do
not desire to speak unkindly of her; indeed 13110
possesses very great-talent, but she is wholly un
fitted to Einstein the part attempted by her last
night. The first impression made upon the audi
ence was one of ineongr pity. Miss MeVicker
was not dressed appropriately; and did not look
the character. 11 she had passaged only mode
rate ability, her personation would have been a
wretched and absurd failure. To her credit ir,c it
said, that her intellectual powers supplied her
deficiencies in other respects, and long before the
close of the play, the sense of Incongruity was
inn great measure dissipated. Her elocution is
of the best kind, and her reading of the part
was clear, forcible and intelligent. In the sleep
wa king scene—that most terrific representation
of the effect of a troubled conscience upon hu
manity—Miss 31eVielter was not nearly .so good
as in some of the other miss'ages. But she suf
fered throughout from comparison, and while we
can fairly compliment 'her for her courage in
going throughout the, part so valiantly, we may

Presidential talks in one letter,for I have seen A. J. twice

great albiect which now monopolizes the attention of the
people throughout the country, and may be naturally

On auuday night I found the President, as I thought,
quite despondent. lie seemed to have read in the pro.
ceedings of the trial, as tar as it had then progresafed,
enough to justify his fears on the subject of hid own fate,
and to have come to the conclusion that the Case had
been prejudged against him. More thau once, however,
in the course of the two hours I. watt with him, tie ex
*pressed the hope that he would be fairly heard, and
coupled it always with implicit confidence in his full
chickadee. The idea was, that unless lie had been con.
derialt.ti before the trial began, lie should certainly be
acquitted faits close.
La,t night i called on him again, lie had entirely re.

those two Pulagraphs present, explained it at once by

That once was whiter than tke snows!

At memory of the long ego!
But dreamed not that a future year
Should see another rosebud near
The one that long had slumbered here.

From one the dew is scarcely dried.

And one rainy, when from her heirth
