The following resolutions were unanimously adopted :' Whereas, All 'free nations, and above all America, are most interested in the success of the peaceful transformation now, going on in France 'from a personal to a more ,popular' form of government ; Whereas, Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, as the First Prince of the Imperial blood of l'rance, and. as theArst citizen of his country, has, notwithstanding, the difficulties of his most exalted and 'delicate position, nobly and fear lessly defended; in his late nanly and eloquent speech before the French Senate, the cause of freedom,' and claimed for the French people the full resteration,of their rights as citizens; Whereas, Such a courageous act, Under the present circumstances; is well worthy of the Prince, who, during his visit to America in 1861; shortly, after the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and in the beginning of our civil war, Iran {ly expressed his iiyinpathy for the cause of the North , by anticipating' the triumph' of the flag which carried in ita olds the abolition of slavery and the restoration of the most de mocratic and best Government in the world; who later strongly opposed, the unfortunate - French'intervention Mexico, and who has since remained the faithful' of alian unity and.the courageouschiunplenefpeOples' unities; be it, therefore.

It is accompa nied by a gentle• hint that if Spain 'can not conduct this war in a manner more con formable to the images of civilized nations, the - United - States - Government, iu its ow ii name and that of common humanity, may find it incumbent upon it to recognize the Cubans as. belligerents. Our Minister offers other re commendations which it • would be well for Spain to listen , to, but to which she will, of course, turn a deaf ear. Thus matters stand at present. TIM papers call on the Govern ment to publish the despatch of Gen,Sickles, but they refuse. The Cortes meet on the Ist of October, so it will not be long before the Iyhole of the Governinent policy in. regard to Cuba will be laid bare and thoroughly ex posed. PEACE NAPOLEON.

The rope's Health—Reforms Meditated --General Nests. - A Boman correspondent *rites under date' ,of September Ist as follows: The day before yesterday_the'. Pope walked about in the, liapetta. He, is in excellent health, and looks extremely well. The Holy Father. has given, audience to the Marquis del Vasto. Prince of Pescaro; who came from Naples with a cast in wax of the 'face of ,Christina of Sayoy,.•mother of Francis 11., which`he presented to 'bin Holiness. ,Queen Christina is to be beatified. cto Signor Pacelli, son of the Direr-Genera) f' • Mir' - of ,the Isltry of the Interior, him been sent by the Pope to Jerusalem to embellish the _Holy Sepulchre , and its new cupola. The Holy. Father, has engaged two other artists to paint two tableaux,,which aretto be fitted in the in closnrefor the pitmen 'in St. Peter's. One tableau is. to represent St... Peter in an all ego rical group, and the other St. Paul. • Some weektio I informed you that' the Vatican was meditating some .reforms in the. ,administration hi imitation of the Emperoy Napoleon', and the Independance Beige now speaks of this ;project as one of real signifi cance. In poiat of fact, the change - will con sist simply of . the admission of a few - laymen to administrative offices. The Hilly See has decided to have nothing to do with the politi cal tendencies of the age, and there would -- be little advantage in the Council's adoption of the Syllabus if the Pope - was obliged, at.the' same moment, to declare himself a reformer. Another obstacle to concessions is the. rivalry, which exists between those - old confederates Cardinals Antorielli and Berardi. '.Cardinal . Berardi's growing influence with. the Pope has excited the jealousy of Cardinal Autonelli, who opposes everything he brings forward and the small liberalism of the %ratican, of. liditeh Cardinal Berardi is the source, is thus always nipped hi the bud. Numerous foreign recruits are arriving ,for the Pontifical army. Peasants ' from the - Abruzzi are being -enrelled on the Neapolitan frontier, and the - foreign committees are urged . to renewed exertions. The Pontifical oilmen"; are constantly practicingwith the _Remington rifle, as many-of the 'shots never touch the, targ,et. Recruits are being enrolled here for the Khedive of Egypt. Each soldier receives twenty-five sous a day, and a bounty of 200 francslor a service of three years. It ,un certain whether the force is • to form aolice for Alexandria and Suez, or a' foreign le p gion. in the-Egyptian army. --Many - youngltemans - have enlisted, and the Pontifical Government offers no opposition to their enrolment. :.

At present, one thing which incon testible is the indefatigable attacks of the Duke de 3lmitpensier's partisans on behalf of their candidate, or at least in faVor of " ' ombination • which would afford him'' more -or less satisfaction. Amongst the various candidatures, that which appears to attract the greatest attention is that ..rof Prince Thomas Albert Victor, Duke of Ge noa. and son of the former Duke, and nephew of Victor Emmanuel. This young prince, who is fourteen years and a half old, is being educated in England, and, according to report, ._is_happily_endo_weri both in a ph_ysical_and_. moral sense. In order to attach the 3.lonipen- Hier class to this project, and which.: rumor.. affirms to be Supported by 31. Olozaga, the idea is to unite the Duke ot Genoa to the third daughter of the Duke de Montpensier,Prin ce_.;. Maria, sixteen years and a- haf old. This persistence of introducing the French family in these differe,nt combina tions Oyes you an estimate ot the Activity displayed by its friends and the inde fatigable ardor of their. ambition. 'The sup ptirters.Of the Dike de 31ontuensier, in order to invest his pretensions with greater popular ity; as a belief exists that they are not favorar. bly regarded by the Imperial Goverinitent of France, do not recoil from the grossest false hoods. Thus, some - days since, telegraphic despatches'were sent from Madrid into the provinces, announcing . the intention of the Emperor Napoleon to interfere by armed force in Spain in favor of restoring the Bourbon dy nasty. However absurd this report, it assumed such consistency that the Government of Se ville believed itself called. on to glye it an (Ali-. civil denial. • • The Evangelical Alliance-Dr. Schaff-. German Delegates. [From an Occasional Correspondent.] STUTTGART, Sept.4.,-A religious meeting of considerable interest to the Anterican public took place in this city yesterday, at which the proposed General Conference of. the Evan gelical Alliance which is to be held in 'New York in September of next year, received the most cordial recognition from one of the leading ecclesiastical organizations of Germany. Our excellent townsman, the Rev. Dr. Schaff,4ad dressed the meeting in 'an eloquent speech, which excited universal interest and admira tion. It is expected that the .Evangelical Christians of Germany will be largely repre ignited iu the Conference. Dr. Schafrpre seined an urgent invitation to the German friends of the Alliance, in the name of the American churches, to take part in . the Conference, and awakened. a strong desire in twiny of them to undertake the voyage: He dwelt frankly on the difficulties of the enterprise, as well as on the advanta,ges that would accrue to the cause of religion by 'such a reunion of the representatives of the ':Old World and the New.

The Visiting Com mittee of the Philadelphia • Prison Sodiety uuliilJ thirty members, who, with an earnest desire to improve the moral . condition Qf .the , prisoner, and lead': him inte,the path'. of recti tude, 'spend:Much time in this • beneV;olent Work; go in:and sit down with their poor, err,. ing brother, and, by pointing 'put to him the; means of grace, endeavor to remove the film from , his eyes', and enable him tosee•the lining which sldrts every cloud: The record of said Committee shows that during the present year the, members haver' made two thousand five hundred and ninety- • five (2,595) visits to prisoners in their cells,anct have had two thousand six hundred and thirty four (2,04) interviews with themat their' cell doors,Making an . adgregate of interviews whic prisoners have had with members of thiS Committee, five thousand two hundred and twenty-nine (5,) and yet the writer in the Inquirer says: "he priSoners are literally, buried alive." It is asserted that "the pris onerloses his identitY, and, that his name is, never mentioned, and that he is only knOwn by the number of his cell;"-this is partially_ — eorreet: - It - itithe object •of the discipline of the penitentiary to keep from the dis charged convict the stamp of. public pi - nu:lntent; hence, it would be manifestly im proper to post . his name or the record of, his crime over the cell he occupies. • The number which is given him at the time of his reception. is placed there instead, and while the overseer knows the name as well as number of every one under his care, the curious public are igno rant both of the names or character of the in- mates. Reformations in the PenitentiarY are not of rare occurrence, but the discharged re pentant convict would_find hisaccess .to_ _the means of an honest livelihood almost impossi ble if be wasmet by the invidious sneer, or the - heartless taunt, "I saw.you, or saw your name in the Penitentiary." • . , The penallaw ofl'ennsylvania contemplates; first, the protection of society; secondly, the reformation of the Offender. • Yience th(kpeni tentiary is lo be' regarded, not merely as a house of detention, but a school of reform,and to these ends the earnest efforts, of all ...con- nected with its administration are directed: Perhaps the foregoing statement of facts will be sufheient to disabuse the public mind of any erroneous views inculcated by the article which appeared in the Inquirer, and thus truth. and justice will be vindicated.
