he Commercial Treaty with England
-The Policy of Free Trade-The Fag
mine in Algeria--Increase of Crime—
Istory of the Pope. -
ICorreepoodenoe of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
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'

spared up the genuflexion, and made na approach

Holiness said, 'you are two, journalists, Mends,

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.

Congress to dissolve. General bizaro Bru

The rebels will probably become masters of the

The following is frdm the Washington corre

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

disagreement between the President and himself.
It has been the desire of Governor Randall to re

would not do so while the impeachment trial
was in progress as he did not want it to seem
that he was forsaking the President:: Now that

Yeaterday forenoon,abotit half-past tee o'clock,
a tragic scene was enacted in the pawnbroking
shop of Mr. Gallinger„ corner of Penn and
O'llara streets, in_the Fifth Ward. 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

externally, but the Internal bleeding was very
profuse, and the physicians immedlatelytdeeided
that there was no possibility of the patient sur

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. In
contrast with this ware the pathetic sweetness,
calm autoission and aspiring hope of the victim,
as she took lealie of fripile and enemies and nre
cared for her earetuttem as if i t were reaseer a tex

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

by the vigorous protests of their New Orleans,
neighbors, the Mobillans are actively moving in
the matter, and seem to be thoroughly in earnest.

"Tux. 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.
