®f soldiers, night before last. It was granted, itad'a few thousand passed by at midnight. The Danger to Rome. But at Terni, Orvieto, and pven nearer Borne, there are large bodies of engineersapd #eti! &’atmt.rief, which proyeS. that', the ..oocd: , nation of Rome is intended, for those Mnd jof soldiers are not nsed.fpr insurrection defence. The fact is, Italy wishes to pnter ’the coming Congress holding Rotae inlier possession,! but. her hands imistbeclean ;she kno.ws-thatwell, ot the Congress"will nevor notice her claims. How to get Rome is the question. There is, so far, not the shadow of an excuse. The jUazzlnians will not Rome. They know hy so, doing they play into Victor Emmanuel’s hands, so they concentrate all their efforts on Sicily and South Italy.' Their game is to establish an Italian republio, not two Italian kingdoms and a re-fortified Papal one. So the Italian Grimalkin sits on the edge of the door, licking-her Whiskers at cream she dare not touch. Oh, if only one poor little Red Shirt mouse, would stir, so as to ! gWe her an excuse to make, a dash into the dairy! The "Wisdom of the Papacy. But of all wise governments, the Papalis one of the wisest. It has a system established cetiiuries ago, which is like a Chinese puzzle —just so long as it is kept together intact, there is ho destroying it. Therefore is it that the word progress lias no. meaning but heresy to its rulers. They never resign a single Original claim ; they never yield even when everything is lost; they have maintained for ages one regular consistent course. . They know as long as Christendom , lasts they are heeded. They look back op history add see that their system" has worked well. Defeat and exile are nothing; the Pope of Rome can rfever pass away, they think." r ‘ The King is se»d! Dong live the King.” As Heeren says, their policy remains a rare example of elasticity and firmness. But what jnight not this fine paternal authority of the ropes have ■wrought for the well-being of hu manity had the passions of human nature )i<jpt aloof' and spared the sanctity of their office 1 ASfi,cret€onncll. . .... A secret.councii of Cardinals was • hold, on ■Wednesday at the Vatican. At it they de cided that if the Italian troops advanced on Rome, the Papal soldiers should receive orders to. lire in the air, as a simple protest; then yield. What defence can a poor little guard of 17,000 men make against 100,000? More over, the Pope means to enter that Congress also, and does not intend to lose an atom of the sympathy which in these days is his true mitrailleuse. . That last word reminds me of a capital mot, I and as my letter has been rather full of Ito- ; man politics, I -will borrow the wit of a , clever woman to enliven it. East Sunday afternoon, Miss Hosmer and I were sitting vesper-music, at St. Peter’s, which is always j brilliant and attractive. The church presented j both a curious and picturesque aspect.. While “tlHrvEßpcr service Twas-going—on-i n-tbe—Choi r- Chapel, priests were holding Sunday-schools in the other chapels. Classes of ragged boys were gathered on benches, which, were grouped around the priests, and the buzz of childish voices rose up and was lost in the vast vaults of the building. At one end we looked at these ragged schools ; at the other end, one of the piers of the south transcript stood out, presenting to us the mosaic copy of the Trails-. figuration. - Wetalkedof alLthings, mundane and.divine; admired the simple touching groups of chil dren and priests ; the tine bursts of music, and the delicious light which fell on the famous Raphael. Among the crowd which is forever -•-surging-to-and-froJn_.vast, jStkPeitert mingled. most picturesquely, priests, bishops, members of various religious orders performing their de- votions at different altars,listeningto the music or talking in low decorous voices. Once in awhile a canon of the Church passed by with his purple silk petticoats tucked up anti lace cotta. Some of them are elderly and stout, and suggested to me the remark which 1 made, that they looked very like respectable old grandmannnas. Quick as lightning Miss Hosmer replied: “ Yes,yes,they do look like old women,that’s so; and 1 move that their name c anon be changed to that of mitrailleuses.” Now, a lit pendant to this witty speech of our countrywoman is this one of Pius IX. The Pope is like President Lincoln ;he can not help making bright speeches which are suggested by the occasion, sometimes when the etiquette of the moment forbids them. The other day the Professors of St. Luke were presented to him, viz., those who had re ceived his decorations at the Exposition. Among them was a Professor Galli. When his name was mentioned the Pope's dark brown eyes sparkled with a merry twinkle, and his Italian lips had a sarcastic smile as he cried: ' “ Galli ' Galli' fraa a qaavdo rontinuerarno a i tmtara To translate this, you must know that Cock in Italian is Gallo. The thoughts of Ills Holiness were full of the late French defeats, and resentment against the French with drawal of troops. Bo the name of Galli sug gested the Gallic Cock of French heraldry. “Cocks! Cocks! When will the Gallic cook cease to sing 7” Anni; Bkewstek. The Diplomatic Situation in Europe. A correspondent at Brussels thus sketches the diplomatic situation at the present moment: Italy and Austria on the outbreak of the war came to an understanding to maintain an “ attentive neutrality,” but with it is believed a secret intention of siding with, or at least , morally aiding, France. But the disasters which belel France lemlered it necessary for them to reconsider their position.—While-they were engaged in the reconsideration, England, made a proposition to the neutral Powers to the ell’ect that they should all agree to continue to maintain neutrality, and that they should engage not to change their attitude without previously communicating with all the neu trals, and listening to the observations they might see lit to make. Russia accepted and recommended the English project. Italy replied that, though not unwilling to adhere to the proposition, she could not do so without consulting Austria. Austria answered that the could not do otherwise Lban leave Italy full ofliberty of action. Italy at once ranged . herself on the side of England. Her zeal (ent ; pressement). to do so has _ deeply wounded, . iCfroitist) France. After Italy.had thus slipned .awayfroin France, Austria manifested a wish to know what view the French Government took of her position, regard being had to the negotiations -(pourparlers) they had had to gether. The,' French Government answered that it could not think of calling on Austria iinder existing circumstances to “aid France, even if she were disposed to do so, and that therefore Franoe would take no offence if she, like Italy,should adhere to the English scheme. The CrOverament added that by so doing Austria might Have tUe-nseaus of befriending Franee’ih' for place which will fA.eftly’iave to'be undertaken.- SKETCHES. EASTERN TrtATEE. 2*o.

' ’ fOommnnltnt«d for the.PWladelrhia®Tfl)fini:BnJlctto.l Thimduy Evening, J uly ■ '2l.—Just ak we were Isiviug Zsmi&tt) the letter from home, of June 28th. which I had. expected last night, and had felt disappointed in not receiv ing, .was handed to me. It had come on frbin Paris by the night mail. We started for Zer matt, on our further pilgrimage,at eight o’clock j this morning. We had first a three hours’ drive'down the valley of Zermatt, to .tljS, lit'tle r village of St.. Nicholas. / .’.There i the, carriage road ends. Continuing dovvn’the valley of St. Nicholas toi"a little village called —the next stage of our journey—there is nothing but a bridle path, skirting along the stefep wild cliffs of the valley. So we left our carriage there, and hired a mule to carry our baggage, ; and started on foot. It took us four hours to ; make the journey, and being in the middle oi | the 'day, it was very warm \ but we are now getting into very good trim for this kind of work, and we got on very comfortably. We : reached the village of Visp about four o’clock. There we came again on a good carriage road, and engaging a conveyance, a pleasant ride of four hours, at the close Of the day, up the val ley of the Rhone, .broughtus' to our present stopping-place by eight o’clock. In the morn ing we expect to take ah early start in order to make the ascent of the Kggischhorn. ViEseii, Friday Evening, July 22.—We have accomplished the excursion of which I spoke last night, and have been more than sat isfied with it. We started at five o’clock this morning and returned at seven this evening, making fourteen hours for the trip, including the time spent in resting on the way. There is a hotel called the Eggiscbborn, or Jungfrau hotel, at the upper part of the mountain, for the convenienceutf those making - the-ascent. It took us four hours to reach this hotel. The path is so plain that a guide is unnecessary, so we took none; and as we had to return home to-night, we had no baggage to encumber us. It is a pretty steep ascent, all the way up, and as the morning sun shone on the side of the mountain we were ascending, it was very warm. For part of the way, however, the pathway tan through the woods, and there we had a pleasant shade. The hotel above spoken of is situated on a plateau, about an horn- and a half’s walk from the summit of the mountain. We stopped there on our way up, to rest and -take-lunehr—JT-hey—gavm-us—good—bread and butter, with some delicious wild mountain strawberries, and nice ,rich cream• The climb from the hotel to the summit was very hard. There was no snow, nor ice, nor glacier in our way, as on the St. Theodule. But the path, towards the top, in zig-zagging up the sleep rocky peak of the mountain, skirts along the edge of. some frightful precipices which make one dizzy to look at. We reached 1 the summit at eleven o’clock. It is a mass of l broken, jagged rocks, thrown together in the i wildest confusion. A large wooden cross sur mounts the peak. 1 sat down on the rocks, at the foot of this cross, and found rest for my wearied body there; as the weary soul may always find it, by coming to the cross, and looking in simple faitli to that perfect sacrifice, Uonce oflei ed,” by-llim “who-bore -our sins in his own body on the tree.” The view from the summit was an abun dant recompense for the toil of rgacbing it. The Kggischhorn is nine thousand feet high. It commands a view of most of the mountains that we saw from the St. Theodule, but the grouping of them is very dillerent. The chief object of interest in ascending this mountain is to get a yiew of the great Aletsch glacier, which lies immediately beneath it. This is die largest glacier among the Alps, being some, fifteen miles in length. Standing on the sum mit of the Eggiscblioru, you see it spread out before you in all its vastness. The eye can take in its entire course from the peaks and snow-falls that feed it above—as it goes curv ing gracefully and -grandly round among the mountains—to the foot of the Bel-Alp, where it ends. It is a most interesting and impres sive sight. You can look down upon the crevasses and ice-caves spread over the sur face of tho glacier, and see, hero and there, that beautiful deep sea-green hue which large masses of ice assume when in a position to be translucent. And when you stand on that elevated spot, above the great glacier, and listen, you can hear the incessant rushing of its waters, fed by the melting mass, as the sun’s rays strike it, and the sound is like the distant roar of the ocean. \ The panorama seen this summit in cludes nearly all the highest 'summits of the Alps. The day was not as brilliant as that with which we werefavoredon St. Theodule. Still it was bl ight ami beautiful, though tlie atmosphere was rather hazy. After spending an hour or more oif tlie top, we returned to the hotel, below the summit, between one and two o’clock. There we dined and rested our selves till live, enjoying the charming views afforded by its lofty position. Then we had a pleasant walk down the mountain, and reached our place of sojourn by seven, de lighted with our day’s excursion. AXDKIOIAn, Uoxiil. J)U $>T. GOI'UAKD, Saturday Evening, July 28.—1 t is very well ■for us that we got through with our journey in Germany and Prussia earlier in the season, as the commencing war wdl drive all travelers away fr.om the theatre of its operations. Bridges are already broken down, and rail ways torn up, avul -regular public communica tion interrupted. The Rhine, the favorite route of touiists, being very near the border line, will not be available for travelers, during (he rest of the season'. We shall endeavor to keep far enough away'from the scene of con flict to be within reach of uninterrupted lines of travel. 7 ' iWe left Vieseh in the diligence, this morn ing, at nine o’clock, to cross the Furca Pass, on our way to this place, where we rest for the Sabbath. This Pass is traversed cliiefly - for the splendid view it affords of the grand glacier of the Rhone. The patlrto it runs along the upper Rhpne valley. ,Tljgve : . is nothing sper eially interesting in, this valley, > At least-it Btrfoes one so;'alter keenig dome of ;thS other finer valleys- that ,wc have lately passed through. Biit in any other country than .Switzerland! it would b'il» vast deal thoright of. There is a PHILADELPHIA EVENmG BULLCTIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 1870. very good hotel wherethe rend reaches the ' foot of tiie Rhone .glacier. We stopped to •‘dine there, between one" and two o’clott, -, ; The bouse seemed well filled.'• Mahy stay there for several. days, to thake excursions on and. around the 'glacier, as well as to other plftfifie of interest in the neighborhood. On ; ,stjird[ng'after dinner, Jwe left the diligence for awhjl(& as it; had some '■ heavy, up-hill work to do, and took a., shorter. path, that brought us closer to the glacier, and" yet struck the public road higher up the moun tain, in time to take the coach again there. In this way we were able to get. a,:much closer view of the interesting object before us. We paused directly opposite the ice-cavern, at the foot of the glacier, from Whence the Rhone issues as its source. : It inishes out from that cavern in considerable;' violence—a river—a young river, at the very start. And then it flows on, through different lands, for four hun dred miles,before it is united again to its parent ocean. In climbing up the mountain the road skirts along and overhangs the glacier to the top of it, so that without rising from your shat you have an excellent opportunity of seeing the very striking-and impressive forms of wild grandeur into which the hand of nature has worked up this mighty mass of ice and snow.; It is inter esting to notice what a variety marks these dif ferent glaciers. You would expect to find one larger than anotbej’, but that, apart from their size, We/li^lirT^- _ dently of this,’ each has a character peculiar to itself, and leaves its own distinct impression on the mind. The St. Theodule Glacier, which v, e crossed on Wednesday last, I shall always remember for the smoothness of its surface. It was like a frozen lake, though split and rent by numerous fissures. The Gomer Glacier, which we passed lower down, in our descent from the St. Theodule, has left the impression of great beauty from the snowy whiteness of its jagged peaks. When . I think of : the Aletsch Glacier, which we saw from the Eggjschhorn on Friday, the idea presented will always be that of the vastness of that great river of ice and siiow: But the Rhone Glacier, which we passed to day, was different from all the others. The upper part of it rose up almost perpendicu larly, rent and riven in a most remarkable manner. The image which the recollection of it will call up in my mind will ever be that of wild and rugged grandeur.-^ We reached the summit of the Pass between three and four o’clock, and then came rushing down the gigantic zig-zags on this side the mountain at a rate that might well make a nervous person .(which I don’t c|aim tObe) tingle all over, in view of the giddy steepsalong "whose edge we-were-racing, - -The-Furca Pass enters the valley in which Andermatt lies, a little above where the.road from the §t. Gothard Pass comes in. .There is nothing very striking in the place itself, though the scenery both above and below this point is very fine. We have chosen it as a nice, quiet place in which to Bpend the Sabbath. Axdehmatt, Sunday Evening, July 24th. —We have spent a quiet, pleasant Sunday here, and have attended two services in a room in our hotel. They were conducted by an English clergyman. This morning we had the service, with a nice little sermon about fifteen minutes long, together with the communion. In the afternoon we had the service without a sermon. These congregations were not very large. In .the morning it .only, numbered eight besides the minister. In the afternoon it was two less, as two of our travelers took a nap after dinner and did not awaken in time for church. This took off one-fourth of the congregation. The effect of the war' is felt even in the heart of this, quiet mountain village. The sound of the fife and drum was heard here at noon, as a regi ment of Swiss soldiers marched into the village. They have quartered in the village till the mor ning. when they will resume their march towards the frontiers, to protect the neutrality of Switzerland. All through the afternoon and evening the men have been collected In little groups through the village, singing different patriotic airs. Surely there never was a more causeless war than this. It is sad to think how much blood may be shed by the pride and ar rogance of one selfish, wicked man, and sorrow and desolation be spread over happy and smiling countries. I hope that Prussia may succeed in making Louis Napoleon rue the day when he so needlessly and recklessly kindled the horrible torch of war.—We expect during this week to make our way towards the Bava rian Tyrol, to witness the celebrated Passion Play at Ommerammergau. CoiiiE, Hotel Stein-hock, Monday Even ing, July 2oth, 1870.—We left Andermatt at seven o’clock this morning, and arrived here about eight this evening. We found a ’ four horse carriage about to return empty from; there here. The driver agreed to bring us for the same price charged in the diligence, so we engaged him. Our route lay across the Oberalp Pass, to the source of one of tlie brauches of the Rhine, and thence along the beautiful valley through which it Hows, to this place, which is the terminus of railway communica tions in this part of Switzerland. We very much liked the driver who brought us over, lie is a frank, good-natured, intelligent fellow, who speaks English very well; and is, more over, a capital driver. We were just on the point of engaging him and his team for five or six days, to drive us through the Ba varian Tyrol to Ammergau, to witness ihe celebrated Passion Play on next Sunday, but, to our great • dis appointment, we have learned since our arrival here that, in consequence of the war, it is.pro bable these performances will be discontinued. SO many of the principal performers have h(id; to join the army that they are obliged, to sus pend. This deranges all our plans, as We ex : pected to start for Amiiiergau to-morrow., ’ Tl?e company must have a meeting, after breakfast, in the morning, to consult as to what had bet ter bedone under the circumstances, and,re arrange :tlie programme. -- ■•Ooi be, Tuesday Evening, July. 20.—W0; have been delayed here to-day, trying to get some definite information respecting the AnG mesgaer performance, before either, giving up our trip thither, or - piu'suingi it further lii un certainty.

Kempten, Bavaria, Wednesday Eoeniny, July 27.—Whiletarrying- atCoire, yesterday; I sent a telegram to the bankers .at Geneva, to inquire if Any thing lidd'befen heard of the lost coat. At bedtime, last night, nothing-had come in reply. iWtbVfdre retiring, I wrote again to' Brown, Shipley & Co., stating that my effort? to r<sover vvha i t,\yas ! l,QS j t.,h^d ? o|iled —that! had givpnTit up'MihopeleESi;andiWonld be much obllgeddf they^ouTd t ith another letter. I intended to send this off by mail this morning. But just '3B I was going down to breakfast the’ waiter brought, me up a telegram from the bankers at Geneva-. It was i worded and spelled precisely thus :—“A man has effectively brought us a parcel from Cha mouni for Chou.”): This occasioned great re joicing in the company. There was a general shaking of hands all round. , ,C, mounted on the broad window seat' and delivered an off-hand ' congratulatory speech to'the keeper of the Common Fund, which he concluded by -proposing three cheers. —Aii-which demonstra tions were according to Scripture. For, when the owner oLa lost- sheep or piece of money, or coat, is fortunate enough to recover it, be is expected to “call bis friends and: neighbors together and say, rejoice with me, for I have found my coat, or &c., w’bich was lost.” True the indefiniteness of the telegram left it un : certain whether ail this rejoicing Was not'pre mature. For you will perceive that it merely announces the bringing, of “a parcel’, from Cbamounix.” And tliere Are ,three elements of.' abopti: it-7-jthreb links wanting to] mahe the chain of evidence complete »aiid_ satisfactory, rr These are as follows :-yFirst, Does'the parcel contain the lost coat ?, Second*, Does the coat contain the lost: pocket-book and, third] Does the pocket-book, contain the lopt letter of credit? I mustVwrite to Geneva for definite information on these points. But in the meantime I am strongly disposed to take a hopeful view of “the situation.” And then “the company” have submitted the words of the telegram to a very thoroughtand search ing examination. A wonderful amount of critical acumen has been expended on one par ticular'Word contained in tbe telegram, 1. the word “effective! One learnied member of tkecompany has undertaken to sUow.tliat. this word bas ' not been ignorantly intioduced by tbe awkwardness of tbe telegraph opera tors, but that it was doubtless contained in the original manuscript submitted to them; that it was intioduced into . that manu script by the w ise and thoughtful _con- | sideration of the author of said manu script; and that, in short, the original root from which this word is derived is so comprehen sive in its meaning, that, under tbe Circum stances-in which it. Js, found, this . expressive, word “ effectively” may fairly and honestly be regarded as meaning that the parcel thus “brought from Chamounix” does, without any donbt, contain the coat, the pocket-book and the letter of credit. This learned effort, however, was more grateful to the feelings than convincing totfae judgment of the' other mem bers' of the company. But, “ the wish being father to the thought,’’ we all united in the hope that it might prove in the end to be even so. Of course, I did-noCsend the letter written the night before to Brown, Shipley & Co. We left Coire this morning at 0 o’clock, by rail, for Roreclirach, on Lake Constance, a four bom's' ride. There is nothing striking about the place, hut it is interesting, as having in its i vicinity the princely seat of Leopold Hoben-I zollem Sigmarihgen, the unhappy man whose name stands so intimately connected with the origin of this war which is about to spread “lamentation, mourning and woe” over some of the fairest por tions of Europe. At' Rorsehrach we took a steamer and crossed the Lake to Lindau. Constance is a beautiful sheet of water. And what an idea it gives one of the way in which different nations cluster together in this part of the .world, to know that though less than fifty miles in extent, no less than ytre different .coun-. tries divide its shores between them. .Switzer land, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Baden and Aus tria, all put in their respective claims to a por tion of:the,borders,of this little lake. At Lindau we took the rail again for about three hours, and arrived here at the dose of the afternoon. After dinner we enjoyed a stroll through this nice, cleah, qualnt-looidng old town. And here, from the local papers, we got the first definite intelligence that the perform ances at Amtnergau are actually given up, more than; twenty of the principaVpereonsen gagingin them having gone to the'.war. The announcement is mide that the remaining ex hibitions which, were to. have ’ taken place this Season will he given either at ; the'cldse of'the war,, or 1 next summer, as the case may be. This rs rather longer tlrau itWould suit us to Wait, so we must reconcile ourselves to the dis appointment with as. good a grace as possible. And I confess that it is not a little of a disap-' liolntmeht. At first I did hof feel much interest in the ynatter. But the nearer I came to the place,- and the more I have heard of the nature •if the exhibition, and the deepfyrspjpmu and impressive'influence attending it, tlie:more de sirous 1 have , felt of Witnessing the, strange sight.

They can hold tho city for three months, and conquer. If crushed, France will arise, and avenge itself. “Let Europe know that the'Ministry have no other aim or ambi tion than peace. But war proving inevitable, we will continue the struggle, confident of tri umph. ; The Jovrndl Officii! contains a decree pro viding that all justice and civil business be ad- ' m inistered in the name of the French people.
