Rochefort in person. I sent you, last week, liis “declaration of principles,” and full adherence to the platform of the ultras who had supported and carried the election of Gambetta. But this was not enough to satisfy the exigencies or the enthusiasm of the electors of the First Electoral Division of Paris, who clamored, at their meetings, to have their favorite candidate before them in bodily pre. so nee ; as, indeed, they had a right to exact and expect, both on his part and the part of the government. So a delegate was despatched to bring Eoelielort from Brussels, across the frontier, coute qve eo dfe, and at all risks; for a sentence of imprisonment (for assault and bat tery, and not for politics), by a regular court of law. is still suspended over his head, and a permanent warrant of arrest has been issued to the police against him, ordering the “body of the said Rochefort to be then and there taken, whenever and wherever found.” There was, therefore, good' reason for suspecting that he might be stopped on entering tho French territory. Accordingly, when Citizen Albiot, of the * Rappel, the delegate sent to bring him, found himself in the presence of Citizen Rochefort, the first suggestion made by the former to the latter was .the very natu* ral one, as they came along in the cars together (for Rochefort did not hesitate a moment to obey the summons): Suppose they arrest you at the frontier? '“Bah!” replied Rochefort—“ the Government will never be sucli a fool 1 Its best game is to let me enter Paris!” But M. Rochefort counted without his host, or at least without the Police; for he had scarcely had time to alight at the first French station before ho was challenged by a Commissary of Police, who was on the watch, and on avowing his name, was “invited” to follow that functionary into his private room. The little dialogue which there took place between them is curious, and signifi cant of the existing state of things in this country. The Commissary of Police had, of course, only done Ins bare duty. A general warrant of, arrest was out since September last, and ije was bound to obey it, whenever he had the power to do so. And this he stated to Rochefort. “But,” he added, in evident embarrassment, “the times have changed ; and I dare not assume the re sponsibility. either of keeping yon or letting you go.” So the Commissary telegraphs, to the Prefect, and the Prefect to the Government; and “Citizen Rochefort” is meanwhile kept waiting in durance vile, and his constituents kept wnitingalso. To satisfy the impatience of the latter, it is decided that “Citizen Albiot” aforesaid shall go off at once to Paris and an nounce what has happened and the cause of the delay. I leave you to imagine the sensa tion created, when, on ■ Saturday night last, about eight o’clock, just when the electoisof the first division were holding a meetingl§> lafgc hall in the populous suburb of La Chapelle,there came,first,the cry of: “Roche fort is arrested!” And then a moment after Citizen Albiot himself rushed forward, with “pale face and dis hevelled locks,” and announced the same terrible truth! He told the same story I have above related, only with, more picturesque de tail and effect, and the row, both inside the hall and in the streets outside, became tre mendous, the crowd vociferating Vive Roche fort ! onSall sides, at the top of their voices. The commotion and excitement were so great that there might have been serious danger to the public peace had not cries of Voila Roche fort ! began to boheard soon after nine o’clock, and sure enough, about that hour the hero of the day made his ap pearance in propria persona, he also boing described by the Rappel and other organs as looking “extremely pale” and “deeply af fected;” and after reviving himself with a glass of eau sveree, proceeded to address the assembly. He didn’t say much, however, be ing evidently too tired or excited, and chiefly excused himself for having “taken the oath.” It appears that very soon after his friend Al biot left him at the frontier, a government despatch arrived, ! ordering him to be set at liberty. The Emperor has the credit of this, and of having said that “M. Rochefort, being one of the ‘irre concilahles,’should enjoy all the privileges of a representative of the people against him self.” But, the Emperor knows what ho is about. As the Imperialist Rays says, only this morning, such candidates as Rochefort are “indispensable.” The Emperor wants “enemies; fierce, terrible enemies;” “the higher the red flag floats, the better,” &c., &c. And so, in fact, it is; tho Emperor’s worst enemies are his best friends; and his “calmest” friends, as the Pays sarcastically calls • them, are his most dangerous onemies, because, like Cassius, they aye certainly preparing to PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24,1869. stab liis if not himself, and nothing impedes their design so effectually as a violenco which revives in the country tho feelings and apprehensions of 1818. M . Ledru Roliinis also in the field as a can didate for the Fourth Division of Paris, having determined, as he tells, us to-day, to assume the “grave responsibility" of coming forward as such, without taking the oath. It is difiicult to see, however, in what the above “responsibility” consists, unless, indeed, M, Ledru Rollin intends to venture into tho lion’s den by crossing, thb frontier without first investing himself .’“legally” with the privileges of a candidate by going through the necessary forms for so doing. He does not announce this, however, and I doubt much whether ho purposes doing it. , As I write, there are, once more, humors of a crisis in the Imperial Cabinet; and I fhney that as the time approaches for meeting the Chamber, the present ministers, who feel themselves to he nonentities, with no one at their hack—unless It be thotEmperor himself— shrink more and more from the task they have before them and from the storm they must expect to encounter. There isatalk once more of Emile Oliivier, and 'aLiers-parti ministry; hut I doubt the news is still too good to be true. The Rappel of this morning publishes a list of four candidates who have “not taken the oath.” The ground upon which it inclndes M. Rochefort among these is curious: “Roche fort,” it says (the term Monsieur is prohibited as too “aristocratic!”), “the indisputable elect of the. First Circumscription, has been re garded as not having taken the oath, although he . has already taken the oath /” This “indisputa ble” piece of eloquence and logic combined is published under the date of the “18th Bru maire An 78”—th c Rappel having returned to the revolutionary calendar, and being now in tho above year of the Republic of 17891 What next? EUROPEAN AFFAIRS SULTAN AND KHEDIVE. A Climax of the Disaccord Eridentljr at Hand. The Pall Mall Gazette’s correspondent at Con stantinople, writing on the 2d inst., says : “The delicate question of Egypt was opened on Sunday by the Emperor of Austria to the Sultan, hilt with a most unsatisfactory result. There is scarcely any secret as to the conver sation, which, being through an interpreter and in the presence of others, was clearly understood. The Sultan firmly, somewhat coarsely, refused the overtures made by the Emperor to go to the Suez Caual opening. His Majesty was so touched with what had occurred that he excused himself for not at tending at the theatre. The Egyptian affair fo undoubtedly approaching a climax. In the meantime the viceroy, through hiscontiden tial 'agent here, M. De Castro, is lavish in the distribution of his favors in every quarter. It is marvelous to see to what an extent persons of small importance are kept supplied with Egyptian gold, for which they cannot possibly render any service whatever.” THE BESSIAN-FBENI'H AULIAXCE. A Bnaaian Opinion of It. The Moscow Gazette publishes a long article on the reported rapprochement between France ana Russia. The appointment of General Flenry to the French embassy at St Petersburg is, it'says, the first sten towards detaching Bussia from Prussia, and bringing about an understanding between the Courts of Paris and St. Petersburg as to the Eastern question. A consequence of this under standing, the Gazette adds, would he to demolish German influence ou the Danube, by which it means, apparently, the overthrow of the dynasty of Prince Hohenzollern in Boumania. Another object of the mission of General Flenry is, according to the Russian paper, to call the attention of the Bussian Government to “ the aggressive designs of Prussia” on Russia’s Baltic provinces, the importance of the grow ing power of the Hohenzollerns on the Danube, and the danger to Russia of au Austro-Prussian alliance. The article con cludes by recommending the Rus sian Government to come to an under standing with France, Austria and Jtaly, with the object of compelling Prussia to “moderate her claims,” to give up her plan of annexing South Germany, to render the North German States more independent, and to enter into a convention for a general disarm ament. This new quadruple allianse it to be announced by the KmpsrOr Napoleon at the opening of the Corps Legislatif. The Cologne Gazette, in commenting on the above article, observes that It is silent bn one important point—what England would say to such a .combination. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN PRUSSIA A Gentle Murderer. The Pall Mall Gazette has the following: The opponents of capital punishment will be glad to hear that the King of Prussia has reprieved the murderer. Wittmann, who was sentenced to death. It would be difficult to imagine a case in whicli the royal prerogative of mercy could he exercised with greater propriety. Mr. Witt mann had murdered four wives, one after tho other, and his two children; and the painful position in which he was placed owing to these acts of indiscretion being brought home to him, naturally called forth the warmest sympathies of all who value the saereduess of human life. He is, however, to be imprisoned with hard labor for life, and although our own Home Secretary would, we feel sure, be the first to shorten such a term of imprisonment, yet there is too much reason to fear that in a country like Prussia, Mr. Wittmann will ac tually undergo a certain amount, of toil and inconvenience which wc should never have the heart to inflict on our own British mur derers. ROMAN ITiMS. Defending ttae Connell—Presents for the i Pope. A letter from-Home assorts that General Dumont lias offered to the Pope, on the part of the French Government, S,OOO men, who are to stay in Home during the Council. '“lt is said this proposal has been accepted. The Papal Government fears some Garibaldian movement, and does not trust implicitly to the fidelity of its troops. The deficit caused by the great number of deserters is to be filled up' by .ecruits from, different parts of the Catholic world—2,ooo men are said to be on their way to Borne. An enormous sil ver nugget, valued at 2d,875 francs, is on view at Baron Uglier’s bank, ‘Piazza di Spagna.’ It is a present from a Californian to the Pope, and comes at a happy moment. An en lightened priest and clever writer, Father Marcelhno da Civezza, was arrested just as he was crossing the Italian frontier to return to homo, whore he had boon called, by order from his convent The opinions expressed by him on the approaching Council are said to bo the cause of this arrest. A book on the Council written by Monsignor Maret has been seizec) at all the booksellers’ shops in Borne. The 'month of October has been rife in squabbles, tights and murders. Twelve brigands escaped from the prisons of Frosinone have formed a hand spreading terror in the country. A French priest resident at Borne, M. Tonul, has pre sented to the Emperor of the French a mur derous implement of wav of ins own inven tion.' COLOSSA.L FRAUDS. Return of False Invoices at the New York . Custom House. Prominent Merchants ofNewYork Implicated. The /N. Y. Times says: Collector Grinned has received additional startling information regarding the perpetra tion of most stupendous frauds against the National Government on the part of nume rous mercantile firms in this city. Over two hundred respectable merchants, many of them occupying prominent and influential posi tions, fare now under suspicion of hav ing participated in . the frauds, which : extended through several months during the laßt administration. Their names will be sup pressed pending the official investigation, which is now being conducted at the Custom House in a vigorous and impartial manner. The frauds were accomplished by means of false Invoices and undervaluation of Imported merchandise, and are believed to involve a vast amount of money. The enormous ex tent of the . frauds has received cor roborative proof since the commencement of the investigation. In many instances duplicate and triplicate copies of false invoices have been-found in the possession of certain mercantile houses, the bookß belong ing to which have been seized, and removed to the Oustom-house forthe purpose of thro w ing light upon the frauds. As fast as mer chants ato shown to have any connection with the dishonest transactions under inves tigation, their, names will be submitted to Distrist-Attorney Picrrepoht for crimi nal prosecution unless they consent to a compromise. In case they should do so, the Government officels will insist on their re funding tie sums which they have fraud ulently withheld from the National Treasury, also on tleir complying with the legal penalty accompanying their offence. The penalty re quires tliat all of the imported goods on which, wise- invoices were returned should he forfeited. Reports concerning •' the investigation have been privately cir culated among the commercial com munity,and the business credit and reputation of the merchants whose hooks and ledgers have been confiscated, and who have fallen Under the ban of suspicion. A few days ago a large quantity of foreign wines belonging to one ofthe accused persons, of the value of 540,000, was detained in bond, it being supposed that false invoices had been given. The owner was obliged to procure bondsmen worth 530,000 before he could get possession of the wines. ' Yesterday Collector Grinneli, Surveyor Cornell, and Naval Officer Merritt bold a consultation in regard to the best means for. carrying on the investigation with regard to the frauds which have swelled into formidable proportions since they first became known. The inquiry into the folse returns of weights rendered at the Custom House by weighers,at the instance of the owfiers ofthe goods weighed, is still be ing closely pursued by the Collector, but no further public developments have been dis closed since the recent report. , THE SPANISH GUNBOATS. WDy the Government Libeled Them. Washixgton, Nov. 23.—The action of the Government relative to the Spanish gunboats is now explained to have been actuated, by a desire to postpone a final decision of the mat ter until Congress meets. As it now stands the Spanish Government cannot become a direct party to the case before the Courts, which will ensue from the libeling of the vessels, because they are.yet the property of the contractors, and have not been delivered to the Spanish authorities. The pretext for the libel is believed to be the allegation of the Peruvian Minister, as explained in these despatches last night; but the force of his de claration that war exists between Peru and Spain now is partially destroyed by the asser tions whichbemadein May of last year, when be succeeded in persuading onr Government to allow the iron-clads Oneota and Catawba to sail from New Orleans after they had been purchased by Peru from parties who had pre viously bought them from the Navy Depart ment. His argument was that, although a con dition of war existed between Spain and Peru, hostilities had ceased, and that Spain,as usual, had failed to recognize the condition of peace which followed. At tliat time he occupied to ward the Oneota and Catawba a relation not very different from that which the Spanish Minister now occupies toward the so-called Spanish gunboats. If the iron-clads had been libeled a ease wonld have been made up pre cisely similar to the one which is now prepar ing by District Attorney Pierrepont in New York. His object, of course, is to give Cuba the belligerent rights which his Government l>as recognized. Another Reason for Detention or the Spanish Gunboats—The Cuban View Of the Case. Seiior Alfaro, late one of the Cuban Junta, went yesterday before the United States Com missioner and made oath that the .Spanish gun boats, now nearly completed and lying over at Brooklyn, were about to he used by the Go vernment ofthe Regent against the colony or people of Cuba! and claimed, therefore, that by tne provisions of the neutrality laws said vessels should be here detained. The grounds of detention insisted upon were, that by the terms of our neutrality laws framed in 1794, extended to 1800, afterward amended in 1817, and codified in 1818, there was a direct prohibition in the third section of the act against the “fitting out” or arming of any vessel or vessels in the ports of the United States, which vessels were to be used against any foreign prince, States, colony, district, or people with which the United States are at peace. The words colony or people are emphasized, because that is in the' section which if is claimed covers this case. There is au additional provision at tin end of, the • same v section which provides fob “the seizure aillf ' confiscation of buildhig materials or equipment of any such vessol or vessels, in case that any attempt, shall he made to fit out, arm or equip any such vessel or vessels. Mow, it is insisted that this very .section was-iusorred with ex press reference to what was then occurring in the Spanish colonies of South America, and had a future heaving upon what might here after take place, with her other possessions or thcpossessions of .European nations upon.this continent. The statute ou the subject is veiy clear, and is found embodied in Kent’s Com., voL 1, p. 122; is referred to iin tho foot-notes to Dana's edi tion of Wheaton, and is to ho found in the U. .S. Statutes at Large. .The. order was. issued for the seizure Of the vessels, and they are now in the custody ofthe Government. The boats are also to bo detained upon the ground first takin—viz.: That Peru is a foreign State with which the United States are at peace; and,' should these vessels be released and go to Oiila, larger vessels there in service .would he relieved, and could go out to Peruvian waters for wai; purposes, winch would he virtually the same action as if they were to sail di rectly from Hew York for the coasts or waters of Peru. , ; qUANTKEEE. A Sotcd Boabwhacber in Neradii. According to the Winnemucca (Nevada) Jteilister, of 6, the notorious bush whacker and leader of the Lawrence massa cre, Quantroll, ib in Nevada. .Eight thousand dollars have been offered by the government for Qiumtrell’s arrest. Detectives have been on his track for a long time. They followed him through Texas, Mexico, Arizona and to San Francisco. A few weeks ago they had ositive information of his presence iii San Francisco, but were unable to find him. In order to elude liis pursuers lie enlisted in the army, and joined the company which was sent out to Camp Scott, in this county. The military authorities learned this fact in some way. Last week an order was sent to Camp Scott for his arrest, hut tho day before the order came Quantrell and three others deserted, taking with them the best outfits in camp. They were at Carlin lately. From that place no trace has been had of them; in fact, no attempt has been made to follow them further. Tlio sergeant who was sent out in pursuit was arrested himself at Carlin for desertion and brought back. THE OIE REGIONS. Tlielatest Oil Ntrlkcs—Good Paying Wells. The Titusville Herald, of Monday, has the folio wing items: A new well was struck on the west side of. Oil Creek, near MoClintock ville, on Friday last. it was pro ducing at the rate of thirty barrels daily. The yield of the well near the eastern line of the H. McClintock Farm, owned by Messrs. An drews, Bronson /& Harrington, recently in creased largely. A new well was struck an the Brown farm, Clierrytree run, a few days since. It is yielding twelve to fifteen bar rels daily. The workinginterest 1b owned by Mr. G. B. Blakeslee, of Tarr farm. This well is situated on comparatively new territory,and some distance from any other producing well of importance. On Friday last a purchase of thirteen acres of the Independent tract,Upper Cherry run, situated around and Includingthe lease on which is located the Welch & Win sor well, was made by Mr. A. H. Bronson, for 875,000. On the thirteen acres are the Welch & Winsor well, which produced an average of 205 barrels daily last week; the Brown well, yielding 50 barrels; Casey well, 10, bar rels, and the Galway well, three barrels. The two latter wells are producing black oil. They are to he sunk to the green ou rock im mediately. Two wells were struck on the A. Clark farm, Upper Cherry run, during the early part of the month. These wells now yield from ten to fifteen barrels each per day. A new well was struck on the hill territory fit Parker’s landing, last week. It produces fifty barrels daily, and is owned by Col. Harding. Another weir was struck Friday, near Fox burg. The yield was yesterday reported at forty barrels. Op the Tolls farm, which adjoins the Shaw form, - and is sit uated between Lower Cherry run and the Allegheny river, a new well was struck on Friday, and during Saturday produced fifty barrels. This well is owned by Messrs. R.& ,T. Painter, and Messrs. John Munball, John Mayrhinney, William Phillips and -John Van Ant-dale, of Oil City. The four gentlemen last named owned the farm in fee, besides working interests in the well. Another well on the same farm, which was struck about two weeks ago. is now yielding thirty barrels daily, against a daily average during the first week it was unmped of ten or twelve barrels. A small producing well was struck on Two Mile Run, near Franklin, last week. JAPAN. A Japanese Protest Against Christianity. The Independance Beige says that the follow ing protest Is being extensively circulated in Japan”. It purports to he signed by a number of Bonzes, or Buddhist bishops: * The perverse religion of Jesus, thevteacher from Heaven, Is a calamity which menaces the empire. It is useless to repeat it once again, and for a long time there have been everywhere protests borneagalnstjt. Inspite of tliat the fools who submit themselves to this doctrine are found in no small number among the populace. Furthermore, the* men of foreign countries seek in every way to propa gate it, and it is difficult to say that they will not'resort to violence and force of arms. We have learned that the Mikado is full of anxiety oh this subject. We are profoundly afflicted about it, and, with the desire of bringing to hear a perpetual prohibition against this doctrine, we. most unworthy as we are, who have .already with Buddhism made the strength of Japan, are determined to five and die with the empire; and, despite our uselessness, are resolved to serve it at the cost even of our lives. For this reason we beg and request imon our knees that this protest may be published ond posted everywhere, AMUSEMENTS.

Her vocalization was, of course, not bo pleaeing an it would have been if her voice had not lost its Ircfihneeß ; but the deficiencies wore hidden in some measure by the Euperb art of the singer, who adda to excellent histrionic powers decided yocal skill. Mr. Himmcr a performance was marred by tho tame defect, but it aIBO wa* a triumph oror difficulties. All of the music wai snug artistically, and some of it in a manner that was entirely satisfactory- We are sorry, however, that Mr. Habelmau did not essay the part with his clour and beautiful voice. In the tote of the "cluefnsaaaain, however, 'this gentleman gave a most delightful per formance ; singing the music deliciously and acting great power. In the song nnd dance in tho second act ho was especially good, and tho audience was so much pleased tliat it demanded a repetition with more enthusiasm than has yet been displayed during the season. Mr. Formes also acquitted himself credita bly. The orchestra, under direction of Mr. Dietrich, gavo great satisfaction. The instrumentation of this opera, although not particularly elaborate, iB very beautiful, and ilie orchestra, last night, did justice to it. The chorus, also, was large, and haring several tripe in the time, in fair training. For this evening La Juice is announced, and Tor to-morrow Don Uioramii. Wo perceive that Mr. Grau doeß not announce The Hu- S'nnots, although that admirable opera waß in tho list published by hirn at tho beginning ofthe season. —Robertson's School will be r»pealed to-night at tiio Chestnut.

Dennis intends to giva another course of four lecturps, which will bo announced in duo time. This lecturer baß gained considerable renown in this and other cities, by tho excellent manner in which he delivered tlio course just finished, and we holiovo the succeeding caurse will be of-.u lihe entertaining character. —The Imperialists of Paris ore very full in their praise of the Emperor’s courage.

Ac cording to their statement he was greeted with enthusiastic cheering and exclamations of sympathy. Among tho latter was noticed the‘following: ‘ f Pive VEmpereur sans discus sion" The question arises naturally in the mind of the reader how many disguised nwuehards were required to get up tins little demonstration.
