MAnsurt.i.us, May 13, 1868.—Our city being the principal seaport of the French empire, and he place which not only receives two-thirds of the total imports into France, but shins almost onc ualf of the produce and the manufactures of this country, it is natural that our merchants and citizens look with unusual interest to the result of the debates just commenced in the Legislative body about commercial matters. The most pro minent topic, and that which touches more than any other the vital part of our national economi cal institutions, is the renewal of the treaty with England, expiring in February, 1870, but Tifon which action has to be taken one year previous to The expiration of the stipulated term. For the better comprehension of your readers I must ob serve that the commercial treaty with England, which was afterwards joined• by Belgium, Italy and other countries, means a tariff suffi ciently low to allow the free exchange of the pro duce of the countries thus united by treaty. In France, as probably in every country with the exception of Great Britain, the manufacturing interest is opposed to free import of fcireign man ufactures and looks to a high tariff for protection, wherkas the agricultural, commercial and ship ping interests call for as liberal concessions as can be made. and for free trade with all nations. Some of the protectionists may be sincere in their belief that the system which they advocate is really in the interest of the nation, but their number is small, the majority of that class have private interests at stake and would fain have a few hundred large mill or factory owners accumu late untold wealth to the detriement of the com munity. Space would not allow me to discs the matter in this letter: the same or Minter questions are, I think agitating the people of the United States also. I' would merely express my belief and the impression prevailing in this city that the protectionists will suffer an overwhelming defeat, in spite of such orators as Thlers increasing the force of their arguments in favor of an antiquated system by their elo quence. While these questions are anously deba ted by the whole commercial world of France, the news which reaches us from Algeria is anything but reassuring, and the miseryfof the Arabs urges these unfortunate people to all sorts of crimes. A few days ago a young Frenchman was found assassinated on one of the boulevards of the city of Algiers itself, and the Arabs are rightfully or wrongfully accused of having committed this new outrage. It is urged by the papers of Al giers that the natives ought to be dis armed, and not allowed to wear any knives • at their belts. In the face of all this misery and the emotion which the reports from Algeria creates all over Europe, this Government does not appear to be inclined to pursue a liberal policy in the African colonies.. For a slight of-, fence, in the editorial columns of an Algiers pa per, the editor was severely punished, and the authorities have unconditional control over the press there. Such a proceeding is simply absurd, for no danger will ever accrue to the Imperial throne from the colonial press of North Africa. Our nearest neighbors, the Italians, are grad ually getting over the effects of the festivities connected with the marriage of the Crown Prince of Italy, which had been so splendidly cele brated both in Turin and Florence. The cham bers will resume their,regular sessions and make the stamp laws the first object of 'their attention. The Pope evidently enjoys good health; he rises every morning at 6 o'clock, and receives his ministers at half-past eight. Cardinal Antonelli comes every day to the Vatican, and after the ministers have withdrawn the audiences begin, and aro not over till ono. About 5 o'clock he goes out for a drive in a carriage with four horses, accompanied only by two young priests. He is a great lover of antiquities, as is proved Eby the researches and restorations he is continually making. Though advanced in years he sings very well, and what is quite unknown even to many Romans, plays well on the violincello. Au English jour nalist, just returned from Rome gives the follo - ing account of his visit to His Hoariest'. He say • "When I was received, with my cfimpartions, the Chamberlain plucked me by the sleeve to irctalso' me kneel. The Pope, perceiving the movement, spared up the genuflexion, and made na approach the table at which he was sitting. 'So, then,' His Holiness said, 'you are two, journalists, Mends, going together . to Naples?' HO spoke about Naples, and' sked us how we liked Rome, adigeg that people found themselves very free dating PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1868. their stay. He then took two photographic like neases of himself, one for each of us, ,and with a sly smile said, 'I am going to write something for the journalists,' and in a firm hand traced these words: `Di igite veritatem, flllam Del.' After which be hold out his hand , to. us. His ailabllit, is extreme. Be speaks French with as much accent as Rossini, and the impression he produced on me was - that of a 'pleasant and tranquil old man, who appears to he but little occupied with external matters. CUBA. terrific Whirtwind at Havana-Loss of Life-Hull Flghtfing. HAVAIrit, May 20,,1868.—Yesterday evening, at fifteen minutes to five o'clock, a whirlwind passed over this city, and in the eight or4ten minutes it occupied in doing so caused no small amount of damage. Many chimneys were blown down,three or four houses unroofed and the trees generally unlimbed to a more or less extent. The harbor, however, was the place where the injuries of the whirlwind were the most seriously felt. Quite a Lumber of small boats and yawls were sunk, as also two lighters, op one of which were 100 boxes sugar belonging to the well-known Ameri can pouse of Drain & Co., and they were, of course, likewise lost. The steamer Bien ville for a while dragged her anchors, but fortun ately secured a fast mooring as she was about coming in collision with the French ship Louisi ane. The ship Georgia broke loose from her fas tenings and went aground on the beach below Cascajal. It is thought she can easily be gotten off. Worse than all these injuries to property and shipping leas the loss of seven lives—penons drowned by the upsetting of small boats and lighters. Among them was Don Ensabio Lopez, a young gentleman' of great respectability, who was proceeding to the steamer Moro Castle when the boat he was in was capsized and he thereby met a watery grave. The Spaniards' favorite amusement of bull fighting has lately received a great' increase of popularity here. I am sorry to have to say that It is mainly due to American energy and enterprise. one of our Ploy( countrymen having taken to the management of the bull-ring. By the in troduction of Floridath at fight desperately, De has somewhat equalized the chances of suc cess between the two sets of beasts in the arena— they in the human form and those: of the bovine species—and has thereby considerably in creased the excitement attenclant upon the con test. On last Sunday—the usual day for bull fighting—the enclosure was crowded, and one of the Fonda bovines created considerable uproar and contusion by jumping over the fence around the ring to the side of the spectators. Luckily he was secured before he injured any one. An other wounded one of his persecutors amid the loud liras of the audience. Mr. Burlingame, the traveling Minister Pleni potentiary of the Chinese Emperor, is reported as coming here to investigate the coolie trade, in which China is particularly interested, her large population furnishing most of the indentured brought here. It is believed by most of those any way conversant with the trade that an investigation by Mr. Burlingame must fleece,- 'aril." develop such facts as will cause him to send a report to his Celestial Majesty that will inevitably draw forth an order closing all the ehinese ports to seekers alter.indentured coolies. The acting -American Consul General here, it is well known, has written to Secretary Seward to urge Mr. Burlingame to include Cuba in his travels, in view of the importance of the coolie trade in connection with the objects of his mis. sion. In the last coolie vessel that arrived here, according to reports to the American Consul General by Amencan sailors abroad, the Chinese were so crowded that they scarely had breathing room, and three times they attempted to mutiny. This vessel was a brig sailing under Argentine colors. It seems the slave trade is not at an end alter all, and there are persons left suf ficiently desperate to engage in the extremely hazardous enterprise of introducing African blacks upon this island. This is said on account of instructions just given by the Captain General to the Spanish war vessels and to the coasting steamers to keep a sharp lookout for a slaver ex pected in the neighbortmod of Batabano.

HAVANA, May 27, 1868.—We have dates from Hayti to the 18th inst. Reliable informatibn has been received here to the effect that a detachment of three-fitths of General Lubin's troops received an attack from the rebels on the 14th instant at a place called the Setnilla Cross-roads, in the suburbs of the capital. The affair was a bloody one, and resulted in the repulse of the rebels, who were shelled by the Haytien man-of-war Sylvain, lying in the harbor. The shelling, how ever, did little harm to the insurgent troops. A proclamation had been issued calling all the citizens under arms. On the 16th inst. a general attack was make by Salnave's troops on the rebel lines. The attack was repulsed and the troops had to fall back into the capital after having lost .bout eighty men. The British steam gunboat !loyalist had got ashore at Port an Prince after ner commander had effected the release of the imprisoned foreigners. She then steamed to the (Alter harbor, where she got aground. The United man-of war De Soto arrived on the 17th from St. Croix, but as she was short of provisions she proceeded next day to Key West, despite the protestations of the American Minister., who had promised to secure the lives of all Americans and those who had taken refuge in the Legation. The general attack was ;renewed lu the afternoon on the south side of the city, but the result was still unknown when this mad, left Port an Prince. Sainavestill threatens to burn the capital to the ground if the rebels beat him, but the American Minister is determined to prevent him if possible. VENEZUELA.

This sudden event had compelled Congress to dissolve. General bizaro Bru zual had declared against the government, and the town of Caracas was in .a state of siege. The national forces in the city had been reduced to sixteen hundred. Four thou sand rebels had• appeared on the hills around Caracas, and a decisive battle was imminent. The rebels will probably become masters of the capital. Battles had taken place in Afaure and Candelaria between the government troops and the rebels. General Colima lost two hundred men In Antimano,l and four hundred passed over to the insurgents'. Among the deserters aro Rojas Mendoza and Vegas. Randall and the PostmOthce. The following is frdm the Washington corre spondence of the, New York Tribune: The Evening Star of to-day has the following : "Postmaster-General Randall, it is said, will, in the course of a few days * tender his resigna tion to the President: but not on account of any disagreement between the President and himself.

The prime-- pa) actor was a man named Isaac Y. Little, who, 191 the presence of officers Moon and O'Connor, seized a pistol and shot himself through the body, inflicting injuries which will in all proba bility prove fatal. The facts of the Lase are sub stantially these: Little was married some time since to a daugh ter of Mrs. Richardson. but has not been Using happily with her. In 'September last an intor- Lima on was made against him before Alderman McMastera, by James ,L. McKee, charging him with having obtained some two hundred dollars by false pretences. An information had also been made by Henry Kane, clothier, for obtain ing goods on a bogus order. Recently, Henry Meyer, clothier, and John Jahn, boot choker, made information before the Mayor ehikrging Little with false pre tences. Warrants were issued for his arrest. Alderman MeMasters took him into custody. He appeared deeply agitated and deeply mortified, and plead hard to be released. He was conveyed to the Mayor's office and locked up for a bearitt - Yesterday morning Mr. Meyer and Mr. Jahn ...allied at the lock-up to see Little; when he besought them to withdraw the suits, alleging that he would settle their claims Tb.e., consented to do so, and he wa4 permitted to go in colcilpi,ny with offiPer Moon, to Gallinge3 store, alleging that he bat; pawned a c3er.ie of pistols there, and could raise in enough to pay the bills. Officer O'Con ; ner also went up to the store, hav ing the warrants from Alderman ItleMaa ter's office. On reaching the store Little asked Gallinger to show him those pistols which he bad left were, and both parties stepped into the tacit room, the officers standing at, the don: 'Looking in. Little then snatched up one of the pistols, and jumping across the room, exclaimed, in a highly excited manner, "Shoot me now; or I'll shoot myself." Turning the weapon upon him self, he tired before the officers could seize him. They caught him as he fell to the floor." He said: "I came here to do this, and I've done it." Dra,,lghn Dickson and H.

It is stated that his wife, on hearing of the affair, refused to permit him to be brought home. He expressed regret for what he had done, but at another time said he felt no remora°. A Remarkable Story m.Eveape of an lindian Captive. ['From the St. Peter's (Minnesota) Tribune, May 200 From letters written to Charles S. Bryant,Esq of this place; by Elder George W. Freeman; of Kilbourne City, Wisconsin, we gather a curious story of Indian life. The story is told by Mr. Freeman, in the following letter. KILBOURNE CITY, May 16, 1868.—0 n behalf of a popular meeting composed of citizens of this place and vicinity, held - last evening, I write to you. The occasion of the meeting was a boy ten years of age, who, on the 14th inst., left a camp of Indians, now within one mile of this city, and asked protection of our citizens. This camp is occupied by the squaws, as the men have gone a few miles off for a dance. The Indians are Chippewas and Winnebagoes. The facts as elicited from the boy are as follows : He says his name is Chauncy Case, and his father's name is Simeon Case, and his mother's • maiden name was Sarah Van Wornur, they' came from Oswego, N. Y., when he was a very -small boy, and settled in Minnesota, in the town of Waton wan. He says that "six ,years ago a heap of Indians came to his father's in the night,_ anti they. got up and made a light ; tnen `White Jim, (who is in this camp) threw Lila arms around his father, and 'Good Bill' scalped him and then tomahawked him, also his mother, two brothers and two sisters, and then took the boy across the wood to a Mr. Berry's; be saw them kill the family, and anotker family named Saulsbury. One boy by the name of George, about twenty years old, was taken along with this band, but the boy says he got away in the night, with his father's black pony, and so escaped. The boy says that his father had a farm of more than one hundred acres, and paid $2OO for it, with framed house, ,and teat the Indians did not burn it, but did burn Berry's, and that he bad Seen them kill many men, wo men and children. He has not been allowed to go to any white settlement or town, and has not seen but one for "six winter," except ads. We took him to the camp and the squaw said the Indian brought him home and gave him to hey "my boy," "good boy, I cry if he go off," and such like expressions. A posse of some fif teen or twenty have just started for the camp some twelve miles from here, to arrest any and all suspected of or known to the boy as guilty of murdering during that raid of Sioux in 1862. The citizens of Kilbourne, we learn. from a later note, have failed to overtake the Indians, who evidently, suspected trouble on account of the boy. Both camps referred to by Mr. Free man have disappeared. By examination of the books at 'the land office we find- the name "Case" and "Salsbury," re corded as entering land in the vicinity of 'Waton wan, and these facts taken in connectiou with others,lend some color of probability to the boy's romantic story. The Boston Transcript of tha 22d inst., speak ing of Mrs. Kemble's reading of her own trans lation of Schiller's "Mary Stuart,"' says: "After the poetry of Shakspeare even Schiller sounds tame. One good consequence of this was that the reading of "Mary Stuart" last evening de pended so largely for its effectiveness upon the reader herself changingher almost entirely from a reader into an actress. It seemed as if there were greater action and expression in her per formance than on any other occasion, and that she felt the necessity . of making action and ex pression even more significant than the lines she uttered. It was voice, gesture and countenance combining to All out and embody accurate concep tion of eharacter; andomless one or two instances of overwrought vehemence were slight exceptions to the otherwise unqualified commendation, the success was complete. The interest of the play centres in the two queens, and of these of course Mary is the most attractive. The subordinate per sonages wereldlscriminatingly sketched; the du-, plicity and intrigue of Leicester were made appq rent; and the arrogance, vanity, coldness and cru elty of the proud, weak and shrewish Elizabeth were well portrayed. But the fine impersonation of Mary, full of force, passion,tenderness and pa thos; abounding in conflict of emotions; thrill ing with the struggle between the woman and the sovereigntand - the love and ambition clinging to earth and the saintly contrition resigned to death—this was all admirable. The interview be-, tween the rivals, preceded by the frantic joy of the captive at her brief escape from the prison walls, and involving the transition from profound humility and almost abject entreaty, to towering rage and sublime vengeance, mixed with bitterest taunts, Was given so as to make it Very real.

It is urged on behalf of the scheme, that it will virtually do away with the levt:t; system, and so relieve the pressure of the great river, that the fears of a crevasse need no longer exist. The New Orleans papers are violently opposed to the enterprise. The proposed river route,they say, j& exclusively within the boundaries of Louisiana, and the people of that State will never consent that any , such dangerous experi ment shall be tried with her territory and her streams. Besides, it is stated, that it could only, be accomplished by the sacrifice of all the low lands in Louisiana below Baton Rouge, includinz a larger body of valuable land than can be found in !,;,,e whole State of Alabama. St. Louis is expected to furnish most of the ::•;tal to carry out the plan. Nothing daunted by the vigorous protests of their New Orleans, neighbors, the Mobillans are actively moving in the matter, and seem to be thoroughly in earnest. PEI ti_IATR ES. Etc.

MERCY IVIVEi or Wurnson."—Mrs. Kemble's Reading of "The Merry Wieed of Windsor' yesterday, was one of the most de lightful of her whole series of entertainefents. The large audience, from first to last, testified the keenest enjoyment of the inimitable fun which Mrs Kemble puts into the whole play. It was im possible to choose between the' rascally old Sir John and the gawky young Slender; between Dr. Caine with his admirably broken English and the mischievous and merry wives of Windsor; be tween the W Wooled and jealous Master Ford and the unprincipled and sanctimonious Mrs. Quickly. Mrs. Kemble's own evident enjoyment of the play spread like an infection through the audi ence, and she was constantly interrupted by peals of laughtnr and rounds of heartiest applause. Falstaff's accounts of his adventures to Mdster Brook, and Mrs. Quickly's missions to Falstaff were utterly indescribable in their effect. Mrs. Kemble's charming entertainments are rapidly drawing to a close. To-morrow evening ner "Mary Stuart" offers a great treat which none should overlook or miss, and on Saturday after noon her enolee selection of miscellaneous poetry concludes the course. Those who have failed to attend these readings have robbed themselves of a great pleasure, and they should seize the remaining opportunities to enjoy such an exhibition of dramatic elocution as they will probably never Law. again.
