N3PRAB AFFAIRS
LETTER FROM PARIS.
Ugoweepondenes of the Philadelphia Eonlee
Penis Friday Oct. 30,1868.—We should be at
this moment in a state of complete political pla
titude, awaiting only tranquilly the solution of
the Spanish question, were It not for some rather
ominous symptoms Which have suddenly loomed
up In the North of &nape. These have pro
ceeded, In the first place, from Austria, and
secondly, from Russia, that great Colossus of the
Old World, whose power and influence alone
counterbalances in Europe that of the United
,States. Russia, It hs true, lies dormant just now.
But; if I mistake` hot. she 'onl,y'reernits her in
'terns! strength. Shit has not forgotten the pre
diction I quoted only on Tuesday last, that
Europe had to choose between being Cossack or
,republican; and by and by, - nuder a more am
bitions Czar perhapi than the amiable Alexander,
she will awake, like a giant refreshed with sleep
:and bid for the sceptre and inheritance of some
of the crumbling thrones of Europe. Russia, and
Amelles have hoth the strength of young blood
in their veins, and both seek alike for the devel
opment and exercise of their active and expan
sive energies, while the rest of ;the world sinks
rather into the'repose and indolence of age.
But to return to the demonstration I
:was speaking of: Austria has ventured,
by the month of M. do Benet, to utter some
thing to make people uneasy. That Minister,
addressing a Committee of the Austrian Perlis
' ment, went so far as to allude to the possibility,
or even probability of an eventual conflict be
tween France , and Prussia, and in the contempla
tion of such an event, insisted upon
the necessity of an army of
800,000 men. Eight hundred thousand soldiera
for a bankrupt State like that of the Emperor
Francis Joseph ! Such policy seems stark mad
ness, and can have but one aim in view : The
deeperate hope of retrieving past disasters in the
`midst of a general scrimmage. If Austria
keep up an army of 800,000 men, it can be for no
purpose save to throw herself upon Prussia,
:when the latter is engaged with France. The
policy is suicidal ; but nevertheless Europe feels
that It is on the cards, and hence listens uneasily
to M. de Beast's rather Imprudent utterance.
Then, again, as I have said, a warning and start
ling voice cube also from Russia. The Journal
de St. Peterabourg, an authoritative organ, prints
an article on "War or Peace," which is eignift
cant in a country where the press Is not generally
allowed to make things "unpleasant" without
permission. Here again, a conflict between
France and Prussia openly contemplated. If
'victorious France, it is said, should cross the
',Rhine and revolutionize Posen, the movement
would extend to Poland proper, and, in that case,
"the Russian armies would take the field to re
store order. The national movement throturhoiat
;Russia would be rapin and energetic from the day
when the French eagle entered Germany and re
awakened the souvenir of the First Empire."
There is no doubt that the above is alarming
language, and one wonders that the Russian
Government has permitted it to be published. It
is the more alarming because my correspondents
In the Spanish Peninsula intimate to me that it le
thought there:that even the Emperor Alexander,
mild and moderate though ho be in pereonal
character, views with deep regret, and even ap
prehension, the severe blow inflicted on the mo
narchical, egitimate and divine-right principle
by the summary ejection of Isabella and her race.
Should a Republic, by any chance, be established
In an old monarchical and once first-class Euro
pean state like Spain, Russia may
feel that it is the thin end of the
wedge applied to the block of which she forms
the opposite extremity, and that the rent, if once
- allowed - to - spread - WEI stop only when It has
reached the other side. There is no saying, if
this sentiment gain ground, how soon the
"Cossack" and "Republican" principles may find
themselves advaneing,face to face,acroas Europe,
from the snows of the Sierra Nevada on one
side and those of the Russian steppes on the
other. Truly, these are like to be stirring times
amidst so many contending influences and
interests.
A strange sort of circular has just been ad
dressed by the Pretender Don Carlos, partly to
his " subjects "(!) partly to the "other sovereigns"
of Europe! Just as the Spanish people
have sent one legitimate ' monarch about
her business, and declared that they will
never again have anything to do with any
of her kith •or kin,- this precious repre
sentative of "divine right" talks, with incom
parable naivete, about the probability of " God
and cir,culastanses '!,placing him on the throne of
Spain 1 Be. does not even say "God and la volonti
nationals," after the fashion of Napoleon and the
Second Empire ! And his chief promise Is ad
dressed, not even to,„the people he is so anxious
to rule over, but to his future fellow-sovereigns—
to whom he is kind enough to say that "he hopes

The following telegrath has just been made
:public in Paris, received from San Francisco by
P. Donohue, of that city, at present on a visit to
Paris, and by him communicated to many Cali

leis unnecessary to observe that , the telegram
relates to the late earthquake, and, in face of the.
accounts from Peru, - has afforded the greatest
satisfaction.
Competition In political journalism has ran
very, high, of late, years la Paris, bat has been:
quite ont-done recently by, the effort which finan
cial newspapers have made to outstrip each other
in public favor. The principal organ of this cha
,meter in Paris, for some time past, was -the
Semaine financere, which was generally regarded
nitorlighauthorinbjevta conneeted_with
- the - money-market - It - was on -- this - account, I
presume, that M. Emile de Girardin and one or
two other political personages,- who are
known to dabble largely in other affairs
besides affairs of State, determined to get
hold of this publication, and turn it to
account for their own Interest. They bedame, ac
cordingly, the purchasernof the Seeming Finals
dere, and put:out 'a -.flaming. flaming announcement to
the effect that whoever desired to have really re
liable information as to the value of public, and
other Securities ought to look to their pages to
obtain it. This, of contse,elccited gteat wrath on
the part of shareholders taut speculators whose:
interests lay in a different, difection from those
of the;new proprietors of the &mains Financier&
The former determined to getup afinancial journa
of their own, which shonld blow hot • whenever
the other blew cold; and vice versa! Accardingly,
the Union des Aetionnaires was started 'at a
l och' lower price than' the rival paper,
mi 274111
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, NOVE BEft 12, 1368.
and a regular conflict began, and has
gone on over since, until the other
day the Semaine Financiere informed. its readers
that whoever sent a franc's worth' of stamps to
the office would receive the journal for three
months, its original price having been, If I re
collect rightly, that sum fora elude number, for
it is a large and bulky publication. The Union
des iictiannaires, however; wasdetermlned not to
be outdone in "generosity ; " and so it announced '
that in future, a "refutation of all the financial
views and opinions" of its rival will be "regularly
published on the Thursday" (the &make Finan
dere appearing on the Saturday); and that
the journal " will be forwarded gratis
to all who ask for it, for the .space
of three months!" Competition can hardly
go farther than this; and, indeed,
the only advance that can now be made on such
terms Is to begin by offering premiums to those
who are willing that one or the other journal
should be sent to them! The Union des Ac
ticmnaires has, indeed, already undertaken some
thing of the kind, by sending round to its "sub
scribers" a little pamphlet pulling up the value of
certain securities against others. Thus it takes
the Isthmus of Sues under its special patronage,
probably not without a "consideration," and ono
ofits last effortsis devoted to convincing the public
of the superiority of this investment over every
other. The picture is certainly drawn couleur de
rose; for not only are Suez shares represented to
be safer than every other. but they give a clear
interest of 1234 per cent., to say nothing of the
pleasure of contributing to the completion of a
work which has occasioned so much chagrin to
our neighbor, Joholinil, over the way !
AFFAIRS IN SPAIN.
Prince Carlos to the European Powers.
The following is the text of a communication
the young Prince Carlos has addressed from Paris
to the various powers of Europe:
SIRE: My birth and the actual state of Spain
make it a duty on my part to bring to the
knowledge of your Majesty the abdication Of
my august father. • l'Here comes the text of
the abdication. If God and circumstances
should place me on the Spanish throne, I
shall strive to loyally reconcile the use
ful institutions of our epoch with the
indispensable ones of the past, leaving to the
Geseral Cortes, freely named, the great and dial
cult task of endowing my dear country with a
constitution which will be, I hope, at the same
time Spanish and definitive. The day I shall at
tain that honor I shall draw as close as possible
my personal relations with your Majesty, and
with your nation those of my own people. Re
ceive, sire, the assurance of my high consideration.
CARLOS DE BORBON Y DE Earn,
The Ex-Queen's Character—Spanish
Professors—The Ministers of Instruc
tion.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News,
ander date of Oct. 28th, say& By several decrees
which appear in the Gazette of this morning, an
act of justice is done to many learned.and honor
able men. Sometime ago ft occurred either to
the late Queen or her advisers to rehabilitate her
Majesty's damaged character at the expense of
the honesty and veracity of the professors of the
Spanish Universities. A document was therefore
prepared, in which these learned men were made
to express the horror and indignation with which
they had heard the charges which were being cir
culated against her Majesty's morals and good
manners, and to declare their entire disbelief in
the truth of these imputations. This certificate
of character was presented to every professor in
Spain, and each one was required, on pain of
deprivation, to fix to it his signature. Some men
who were without private means, afraid to
face the privations which must result from the
loss of their positions, yielded to the menace
and signed the document. Others, however,
who enjoyed a more independent position,or who
had more moral courage, resented the indignity
which was being offered them, and refused to put
their hands to a paper the contents of which did
not represent their real opinions. For this of
fence they were deprived of their professional
chairs; and although they were not exiled from
Spain, were compelled to take up their residence
in towns at some distance from those in which
they had previously resided and where they had
discharged their educational functions. By
order of the Minister of Public Instruction, all
these gentlemen have now been restored to their
chairs.
Relief for Switzerland.
The Emperor Napoleon has sent, through the
Marquis de Cozanz, Chargé d'Affaires of France
t Berne, a subscription of 20,000 franca (.£800),
in aid of the yictims of the recent inundations in

Another Velverton Case.
A curious action against Major Yelverton,at the
instance of his former antagonist,Mrs.Mana The
resa Longworth,otherwise Yelverton, was decided
by the First division of the Court of Sessions. The
lady now seeks to have the judgments of this
court and of the Hot se of Lords "reduced"—that
is to say. annulled and declared void—on the
ground that the Scotch courts had not jurisdic
tion to entertain actions in which neither of
the parties, was domiciled in Scotland or
had 'even had forty days' refildence be

that, se the lady In the Present action of redac

her case amounted. to a contention that it had

wrong. They, therefore dismissed the action:.

ited-Uot Manifesto.
The London correspondent of the Chicago
Evening Journal writes as follows:.
I had quite made up my mind not to allude
again to our distinguished countryman, George
Francis Train, but it is quite impossible to avoid
it on this occasion. During his enforced resi
dence in the Irish prison he has contrived to issue
a little sheet semi-occasionally, called the Train
Extra, and the last number contains his farewell
address to England. It is supposed, therefore,
that be has finally determined to pay the £l,lOO
claimed of him, for, unless he does, there is no
hope for his release. I enclose the manifesto,
and venture to say that since the day when Cad
mus first invented letters they were never used
for forming such an extraordinary series of
words as this document contains. Ic out-Tralns
Train; it is spread-eagleism triumphant. Here
it is:
"A good-by to England. My P. P. C. With
the cowardice of thills_and_theent—witee

George Francis Train, an American citizen, in
carcerated in a British bastile for being true to
Ireland, do hereby solemnly swear to return to
America and demand justice for the Irish race
at the bar of the American Congress. No blood

be surer of his game. With my fingers on the
jugular vein of England, so help me God, I will
never let go until America becomes American,
and Ireland has an Irish flag, over an Irish Re
public, free from the damnable injustice of ages.
Revenge is wild justice. Ireland shall be re
venged. The payment of the Alabama claims

[Correspondence of the Philadelphia. Evening ,Balletto.]
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, 1868.—1 was present
yesterday when General Grant received Mayor
Bowen, the City Councilmen and the delegation
from the Boys in Blue, in all twelve peen, who
called on the President elect to tender him thei r
congratulations, and ask him to name a time and
place, when they might organize a grand public
demonstration of ,the citizens of this District to
congratulate him, and at the same
time have a grand procession in hits
honor. The delegation came in carriages, and
after sending their names up by an orderly to the
General—(he receives visitors in the second-story
front room of his headquarters)—they passed up
stairs, followed by a throng of newspaper corres
pondents as large as the delegation itself. After.
the Mayor and his friends had arranged them
selves in a semi-circle around the President, who, i
upon their approach, rose, and shook each one
cordially by the hand, Mr. Bowen took from his
breast-pocket a roll of paper, and commenced
reading his address.
Grant was in plain citizens' clothes, rather the
worse for wear, and stood motionless, holding his
lighted cigar between the fingers of his right
hand, from which the smoke gracefully curled
upward, while Bowen was reading his speech
from the paper.
Grant looked the orator squarely in the face
while the reading was going on, and not a mus
cle of his face moved; but I fancied I could de
tect a twinkle of sarcasm in his eye as he waited
until Bowen had concluded.. Then in a slow,
deliberate tone, he told them he desired no pub
lic demonstration, and that none should take
place with his consent, and if any of his
friends wished to call on him, he y would be glad
to receive them either at his home or his office,
but under no circumstances would he consent to
any public display. Then he added, with a
slight gesture of dissatisfaction: "All public de
monstrations are very embarrassing to me. I
feel uncomfortable when I am subjected to them,
and shall not consent to them in this instance,
or any other, where I can help it." There was a
slight tone of severity in his manner, which
quickly communicated itself to the delegation,
who could not avoid feeling that they had made,
a mistake.
Be then seated himself, and took one or two
puffs at his cigar. At this, Mayor Bowen, who
looked the picture of self-dissatisfaction, stepped
forward one or two paces, and whispered some
thing his low tone to the General, who did not
appear pleased with such confidential attentions
in presence of the other gentlemen, and he mo
tioned Mayor Bowen to a seat, saying: "Please
take a seat, sir."
The Mayor sat down for an instanthnt he was
uneasy, and rose immediately, when the delega
tion, after again shaking hands with the Gene
ral, retired. There was an air of awkward em
barrassment, which made ono feel relieved when
the interview was over.
The newspaper correspondents remained, and
before retiring they shook hands with the Gene.
ral, and, congratulated him upon his election.
At this impromptu salutation there was no reserve.
as thn"press gang" have been In the habit of
visiting the headquarters so frequently that Gen.
Grant knows nearly every one personally, so he
returned their congratulations with great earn
estnees and cordiality.
CABINET SPECULATIONS.
Everybody 'is talking about the Cabinet, and
the men who will be invited to take portfolios.
The parties named are legion, and it Is scarcely
necessary to go over the roll, except to name
the probable chances of those mentioned from
Pennsylvania. Everybody is in the dark about
the matter, as General Grant wisely keeps his own
counsel, so we are all compelled to exercise the
Yankee privilegeof "guessing" Theim_preasiou
prevails that either Judge ielley, ex-Governor
Curtin or Hon. John W. Forney will be selected
to represent your State. Judge Kelley is men
tioned as the probable Secretary , of the Navy,
Governor Curtin for the Interior Department, and
Colonel Forney as Postmaster-General. These are
the speculations thus far about Pennsylvania's
share, and it must be conceded that either of the
gentlemen named would reflect honor upon the
State, but which one will be selected can only be
determined by events.
The name of Hon. Galosha A. Groot has also
teen mentioned, but as he is understood to be a
candidate for United States Senator, that may
probably withdraw his name from the list,
rzintsyzventA ..a.rrourzuntivs.
Considerable fluttering was occasioned among
Pennsylvania politicians from the fact that Sena
tor Cameron and his son, Don Cameron, accom
panied the President elect from Harrisburg to
this city, on Saturday evening, but,as Senator
Cameron is one of the officials of te Northern
Central Railroad Company, and probably,deaked

It is too early yet to say what Grant will do
concerning Federal appointments, as no one yet
has had the hardihood to , broach the subject to
him. The report is that he directed one of his staff
officers,Gen. Bodeen, to receive, ell written com
munications soliciting offices and destroy them,
without submitting them to him; and one corres
pondent avers that five hundred such applications
were thus sent to the tomb of the Capulets. This
is evidently an exaggeration, for one can scarcely
credit the story that there are five hundred men
in the United States foolish enough to intrude
upon him their applications at this time. There
fore the story must be received cum grano salis.
It is said, however, that one or two parties in
Philadelphia have so far forgotten all ideas of
propriety as to address him upon such subjects,
and it is further asserted that such letters were
instantly consigned to the waste-paper basket,
without reading. Office-seekers would do well to
mane a note of this'and restrain their impatience

of the Spanish troops, fhb 450 mounted patriots
debouched on the main road, and charged the
Spanish troops so furiously that they had no,
time allowed them to reload •their mus

fending themselves with the bayonet, fighting, as ,
the official report says, toot by foot to maintain
their ground. After a desperete hen.% to hand

jjfiArev. 5 —The glorious news of a popular and
extensive revolt against Spanish tyranny in
Puerto Principewas received yesterday, and con
firmed this morning. The Spanish authorities
haVe published nothing on the subject as yet, but
endeavor to suppress the news. Paerto Principe
is the second town in importance in the Eastern
Department, the population is 40,000, and the re
volt general among all classes. By the time this
reaches you the revolution will have broken out
in the Western Department, not far from this
city. We want no reforms. Our cry is "Inde

States."

Editor Evening : Last Saturday
afternoon, Nov. 7th, a favored number of lovers
of music in Philadelphia received an invitation
to the Foyer of the Academy, when an opportu
nity was afforded them of hearing, for the first
time, in America, Mr. Gotthilf Guhlemann,
graduate of the Leipzig Conservatory, who per
formed in a string Qaartett, Violin Solo, and a
Piano Concerto. The matin4e opened with :a
string Qnartett, by Haydn, which was played by
Messrs. 4. Guhlemann, Wm. Stoll, Jr., Theo.
Boettger, and R. Hennig; and was, in every re
spect, most satisfactory to the connoisseurs of
art, who showed, by their silence and rapt atten
tion, how entirely they were in sympathy with
the performers, only giving expression to their
feelings at the close of each movement, by hearty
and well-merited applause.
The rendering of this exquisite composition
was, remarkably fine, especially In the first three
parts. All the delicacy and refinement which Is
the distinguishing charm of this great composer,
were most , artistically revealed in ,every, minute
particular, Whtle the unity of the whole was en
tirEly preserved. So perfect was the sympathy
of the performers that the crescendos and siscres
cendos were expressed as though by one Instra
ment, and the , tcmos were woluto •,; ; ; ;; ;
; .
The pure intonation throughout and the nnsf
fected, traitelni conception, of the whole were re-,
markable.. It was pithily to he seen from the
performance of, these, four young artiste .that
each was animated by a thorough knowledge of
and devoted love for his art.
This successful beginning must delight those
who have been instrumental in bringing. these
young artists together in quartette, and mint in-
spire all with great hope for the future. ,
Mr. Guhlemann showed himself a worthy pupil
of his famous master David in his able perform
ance of the Concerto Milita iro, by Lipinski. The
great technical difficulties of this composition
were overcome by Mr. Guhlemaran in ,the most
masterly manner. In this solo be displayed the
greater technical facility and power of tones, but
in the encore which followed it, "The Child's
Sony," by David, he played in a truly sympa
thetic manner and with exquisite purity and
sweetness of tone.
This satisfactory hour was concluded by the
• last two movements of Chopin's Concerts in E
minor. In the Romanza, the young artist com
bined great delicacy of touch with a truly artistic
conception, especially in his remarkable kpato
and cantabile playing, while in the Rondo he was
distinguished for the elegance and accuracy of
his performance which was, however, conceived
more in the French than in the German spirit.
The orchestral accompainment, arranged for
a second plittio, was played by Mr. Boettger, a
member of the Quartell.
The pleasure which we thus enjoyed on Satur
day afternoon, makes us entirely capable of
sympathizing with Mr. Gublentann in the satis
faction which he must have experienced by the
compliment of a reception thus tendered to him,
on the eve of his settling among us as a teacher
of the piano and violin.
