PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1861. -1✓ 3- 1 1 it 1t5,5 SATURDAY, MAY 2G, 1.66 i The Man In the Iron 'task. Every country has its historical mystery, we believe. Ours is, whether General Charice Lee was a traitor. In Engle - n(lft is, Whci was Junius ? ' In France the mystery refers to the celebrated State prisoner known as The Man in the Iron Mask,.: The The late Lord Dover, as Mr letek as 1826, published a work, in two octavo volumes r ens deavoring to settle the question, but left it much as he found It. In France, divine.a period of more than a century, the subject has interested the intellect and employed the pens of numerous authors. To this hour it remains almost as much a mystery as it nele when the investigation commenced. The thirty-fourth volume of Itidot's Nouvelle Biographic Generale, only just published in Paris, has found its way into our hands. In it we find a long and exhaustive, yet singe. larly interesting article- upon the subject I,e Masque de Fer. - We believe that we tha t gratify many readers by giving the substance' of this article, with such additional inforrane lion as much reading and grave consideration of the subject may enable us to supply:: -The author of the article in the Biographical Dictionary is M. Louvet. An unknown prisoner, who had always worn a mask of black velVet, died in the BO tile on the 19th November, 1703. On the fol lowing day he was interred in the cemetery of Saint Paul, the usual burial place of all pri soners who died in the Bastlle. In the register of the Church of Saint Paul his age is recorded as 45, and his name is set down as Marchiali. But it was common in the reign of Louis, XIV., to give false names to prisoners. As to his age, there is uncertainty. It is proved that he had been a prisoner for at least twenty years before his death, though he was not brought to the Bastile until the 18th Septem ber, 1698—five years and two mouths before his death. Not until the middle of .the last century, more than forty years after his death, did it transpire that a great Bastile secret was involved in his identity. The question Who was the Man in the Iron Mask.?.remains yet unanswered. Equally in doubt is the point was he a victim, a crimi- nal, or both ? • M. Louvet thinks that the person called Marchiall was a member of the royal family of France. If so, what was the manner, what the degree of relationship ? pee assertion is that be was •the son of Anne of Austria and the Duke of Buckles ham. 'A second, that he was twin-brother of Louis SIB". A third, that he was horn to Anne of Austeia alter she became a widow, In the first and the third ease, the imprison ment would have beet! to - conceal the Queen's shame; in the second, to prevent a contest for the throne. -French casuists, medical as well as theological, have strongly argued that in the case of twins, the latest born is actually to. be considered the earliest conceived, aerie therefore, the twin-brother of Louis XIV.; latest born, would have =g physiological and superior right to :the throne ! At till events, the reputation of Anne of Austria was af . feeted, more or' less, In each and "all of the three above-mentioned cases. Dumas, in that wonderfully-interesting se ries of historical romances commencing with The Three Mousquatieres, has -tenanted that Marchiali was the twin-brother of LoulS - XIV., and one or the most strikinglicideeits 'Which he imagined is, that whe - is 'e - earatlY cenveying the prisoner, who did not thin : Wear a, mask, - from the Bastile, hei put Louis XIV. in his place, and, for a short passed off the prisoner as King, the.reiemblancta and. outer, Tollacerril goy Qtteeriaiither, Anne of Austria, herself. The fourth corjecture was that he was Francis de Vendome; the Duke of Beaufort, born-in 1616, and .reputed to have been aistu in 1669, when succoring the Venetians and defending the Isle of Crete with French troops against tbe Turks. The Duke was grandson of Henry IV., and was put torwardovithout having much brains, sea leader in the troubles • of Fioude. He fought a duel during these civil wars, with his cousin, the Duke de Ne wnan. Each combatant led lour seconds. Nemours was shot dead. It was a fair duel, and Beaufort could scarcely heve been impri stetted for that. Besides, long after the Fronde was broken up, Beaufort commanded a French army at Crete.' It was even sugges ted that, returning frcim Crete, Beaufort did so . nt eibing to make Colbert, the great linaneet. Minister, bit foe. But he never did return from Crete, and, though his body was not re og - cnised, is believed to have fallen in battle, • If the Duke de. Beaufort was the man in the Iron Mask, he must have been eighty-seven when he died. A fifth person, put forward as likely to have been the mysterious prisoner, *as the Count de Verraandois, born in 1677, one of the natu ral . sons of Louis XIV. by the beautiful Du chess de la Valliere. In 1683, Bessuet went to the Count's mother, in the penitential soli tude she had chosen to retire to, with the,-an nouncement of this child's death. Bat, it has Mein asperteds that the Count did not die in 1683, but lived to manhood, at which he gave the Dauphin a slap on the face, which caused his imprisoratient for life. Thisnlaimant does not seem to have a leg to stand upon. A'sbith is the celebrated M. Fonquet, so powerful as Superintendent el Finances, in the early part of the reign of Louis XXV. "Ffe was . diseraced —nominally for defalcation in Ids • accounts, but accounts, but actually, it is said, on accoent .0t his having offended his jealous and impla_ " cable master, the King, by sending a love-lets. ter to De la Valliere, he not knowing that she was one of the royal mistresses. As Femme was born in 1615, he must have died at the age of eighty-einht, it he was the Man in the Iron Mask. BM it is certain, on good nistori. 'cal proof, that Fouquet died, a piles:4er in the fortress of Figuerol, In I 680„ .The seventh person put forward is an ex tremely improbable one. Arwediks, a Ischia made patriarch of the Armenians, had vie lently persecuted the Armenian Catholics. "The French Jesuits, it is asserted, first ob tained* exile, - and then his- imprisonment— first" in: the 'lsle of St. Margaret, and lestlfin the Bastile. The dates do not corrosPond;- .. and, moreover, Arwediks was converted to CatholicitY, and recovered his liberty. , An eighth person nemed - is a son;of Oliver Cromwell. A ninth opinion is that the Duke of Monmouth, condemned to death as a rebel, by James the Second of England, did not perish on the scaffold ,• that some other person was executed in his place; and that, eventrt-'1 ally flying for life to France, he was there im prisoned 1 for the rest of his lips, as the Man in the Iron Mask. The tenth person is Count Matthion, an agent of the Duke of Mantua, who is' said to have been discovered perpetrating some act Of treschery, when treating with the generals of Lonis.SlV., and was by them seized and imprisoned in the Bastile, where be was treat ed with great barbarity. But it is known, on the contrary, that the Man in the iron Mask was treated with the greatest external respect; had fine linen and. superb garments; had a table of several courses. Eleventh—ln the College or the Jesuits, at Faris, was a pupil twelve years old, who made a hitter Latin epigram of two lines upon his instructors. Although his family were rich and noble, the lad was consigeed to perpetual ,impriscrarnent. He actually was, thirtysone Tears in confinement, but wasreleased-in 1705, ,wheii the large property of kis 'faintly was re stored to - hiza. The twelfth party suppo s ed to" bare been . the Maresinithe Iron Mask' was a.,natittel brother of the 'Duke'of Mauttia, (Coniit thialies master,) who .wea said to have. been missed, and was therefore supposed to -have. been Mit into the Beadle. - - When - NaPoleon WAS in the zenith of his power, he determined to have the great myle tery cleared up, and appointed a commission, : with poWer to examine records and archives. When the Basilic was taken, the Grand Regis ter of that prison was carried in triumph on the point of the bayonet. On examination, it appeared that. all relating to the Iron Mask had .been torn out, and something else inserted. The result of Napoleon's commission was— nothing. Bat a rumor got abroad that the prisoner was the eldest brother of Louis XIV.; that, wronged of his right, he had married the ditaghter of Bonpart; the jailor in the Isles Wit Margaret, and that : the children from this marriage, secretly conveyed to Versicai had given birth to a race which, in seizing France, ..had simply reentered , into; its : legitimate in heritance ! -..1t 'maybe . - imagined how .Napo leon, who .

The order of the day for,yesterday's session of the Presbyterian Assembly.was the disoutcion of the resolutions of Rev. Gardner Spring, D. D., of • New York, relating to the support of the Govern ment. &great deal of interest was felt in this sub• jest, and; accordingly, the elm& at Broad' street .end Penn.equare was filled to its utmost capacity at en early hour in the morning The session was opened with prayer by Hon. Judge Allen, asking of God forgiveness of our na• tional sins, and supplicating that our land may again he united. Rev. Mr. Andrews, at a quarter past 9 o'clock A. M , moved that Dr. spring's resolutions be taken up. They were read as follows : - DE. SPRING'S RESOLUTIONS. Gatefully acknowledging the distinguished bounty and care of Almighty God towards this favored land, and also resoguising oar obligations to submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord's. sake, this General Assembly adopt the following resolutions: Resolved, That in view of the present agitated and unhappy condition of this coantry r the fourth day of July next be hereby set apart as a day of prayer throughout our bounds, and that on this day ministers and people are called on humbly to confess and bewail their national sins, to offer our thanks to - the Father of light for his abundant 'and undtmerved goodness toward no as a nation, 'o seek His guidance and blessing upon our rulers and their councils, as well as the then assembled-Con gress of the United States, and to implore. Him in the name of Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest of tete Christian profession; to tarn away his anger from 00, and speedily restore tone the blessings of a speedy and honorable p7ase. Rasolveld, That in the judgment of this Assem bly, it le the duty of the ministers and ohurohes under its oars to do all their power to promote and perpetuate the integrity of these United States, and to strengthen, uphold, and encourage the Fe. decal Government. Rev. Dr. Thomas, of Dayton, Ohio, having the floor, a question on a point of order arose, which was disposed of prior to this motion to lay on the table was offered. Rev. Dr. Thomas then proceeded with his remarks : I asked whether it would be in order to renew the motion made the other day. I understood the Moderator to say that it was. I made the motion for the adopOon of the paper before I renewed my motion' this morning, and I understood the Modera tor to give me the floor, and then I asked permis sion to make a few remarks. And I tell the brethren beforehand that we may as well discuss this subject; it has to be dis cussed. The time has gone by for the previous question. (Dr. Thomas here being interrupted said :) I hope there will be no interruption until I em done, and then it will be time to settle the question. I am happy to-day to discuss this question of such momentous impost, and in the presence of snah.an Assembly as this I am not mad, sir, nor do I believe in the application of the principle to which car attention was called the other night— bantam there is another passage in which I-have the -most unbounded confidence, that in the guidances of Providerlee shall be their strength. I know, sir, that therel, this Assembly, that there era syvvr‘tr,-si Ti si :• ; .7 i • .• hafensaid something 'inadvisably; for this I make ample apology. If there be anything that I love x it, le free Ablenasion, and to niter, and to pub lish freely, my sentiments. 1 may be met in this Anembly by an overwhelming majority; but I have presented the eubjeot faithfully before God and the Church; I believe that I have done my duty. But, sir, when in the discussion of a question snob as this, each circumstances as these are met, first, by a motion to lay upon the table; and then by a de eision preventing the recording the yeas and nays =when=our mouths are gagged— The Chairman here palled the speaker toOrder. j Dr. T. continued—Sir, if yon will permit that, Daughter) when we are bound and our handl are tied behind us that we , cannot record our votes, then, air, I th ink it high time that we should at. tempt to give utterance to oar sentiments. I refer to this by way of apology for an expression that I may have spoken unadvisedly. I have no desire, and by the grace of God, 1 will not say anything to offend any man's feelings. NS, let ye discuss this question calmly, as it becomes seek a question, and on such on occasion as this. Sir, there are but two questions to be proposed in respeat to the adoption of thei resolution whioh lies before us. The first question relates to the provinces of this Ateerabl7 end its power. Dove the eubjcot pre sented in that paper come within the province of this Assembly? The second question is: Does the time and circumstances in which we are placed demand such consideration, and ate we prepared to vote upon that paper? I propose, briefly as possible, to °wielder thee. two questions. First, have we a right at all upon the subject involved in the paper? And here, sir, let me ask what has been the practice of the Presbyterian Church in reference to this matter? The argument that the people have ever cited is that it is a political mat ter, with winch the Church has nothing to do ; that it does not oome within the province of the Church, and that it is distinctly a State affair, and with which no one else but the State has a right to in terfere. Bat let us, as citizens of the United States, as members of the General Assembly, at this mo mentous time, and upon this occasion, dhows and decide this great question.. Let us as the supreme court of the Church, now raise our vetoes upon the subject, that now, of all other times, mines within the province of the Church. And now, sir, let 113 Inquire what are the doc trines of the Presbyterian Church in regard to the point raised. And permit/ me to call your atten tion to the law of the Church upon this eubjeot, as oontained in the 35th chapter, on the 830th page. ['The Doctor here read the passage referred to .1 New, air, what is the purport of this law? it is simply a declaration of oar steadfast loyalty to the Government. it is a declaration of our confidence in that Government. It is a oovenant that we will pray for the Divine guidanoe and blessing upon our rulers ; that we will render to the Government that support whiob, as chime and Christians, we are bound to render to that Government which God bath ordained over us. Let m• ask whether there is anything in that re• solution that transgresses the bound which has been imposed upon the Church by this Assembly? Let ne man say that we are called uipon bare to afoot that wbioh we have no right to do, Surely, In, regard to that first resolution, there cannot be a doubt is any man's mind—or even in the second re. eolation. [The Doctor here read the resolutions.] Now, as, when we are oalled upon to meet upon a question of this kind, that is presented to us to• day, it is mild that we are intruding upon matters net committed to our ears But, sir; is it not the duty of ministers and mem bers of churches. to promote the interest and In tegrity of these United States, by a faithful ad herence Ito the laws of our country? We are undoubtedly called upon to strengthen the Admin iatretien-40 uphold the Federal Government and the Coastal - don of the United States—the Coned tutfon"nntier whioh we have so long lived, and whose blessings we have oolong enjoyed—that Con. siltation under which all the blessing' of civil and religious liberty bare been insured to us. Sir, let it be remembered that we are the Pres. byterian Church of these United States, not of the Confederate States, not of the South Arnerioatt States, but we are the Presbyterian Church of the United States. It is so written in the bond, sir— e° written in oar Covenant of Falth—the book of our discipline. When the question was raised to the master, "Shall we render tribute to Creear ?" What was the simple and beautiful answer : " Show me a penny.' And be looked upon it and said, " whose image and whose eupersoription is this ?" And they answered, "It is Comes." Then, said the master, "Render unto Caesar the things that be long unto Cm's", and to God the things that ars- God's." I ask this Assembly, sir, to lock upon the Image and superscription of our Board of Pabilea tion, entered upon our own book ; upon the Bible, by which we are known in all the churches of the land ; and when you see the Presbyterian Church of the United States written thereon, will you say that that church hoe no right in its highest Amem-. oly—hue no right to discharge its duty through its ministers, by its power to strengthen, and uphold, and encourage the Federal Government? Sir, if there be anything due to Cower it is AnYthing due to Caesar it is that in the hour of his darkness we, as God'e people, should pray. for hint, should hold up his hand as it were, should :gather around the standard of ant country's glory, and render to Ciessr at least the tnbote of our loyalty.

The Rev. Dr. Hodge, of Princeton, here took the floor. He said that if there' was anything that had marked the history of the Presbyterian Churl% it was its troth to prtnoiple, against popular feeling and passion. It wee hie opinion that oven• yet the Church could pause and act upon principle, discarding passion. He did not think this Old School Church could be frightened. The brother who eisumes that the Old School. Presbyterian Church is afraid to utter its prineiples is no Pres byterlan He thought the sentiments of Dr. Sprinee' resolution were, unexoeptionable. It expresies the sentiments of the people, and of the people ot the North We oonfeu it. We are more loyal and true to. the Union in op posing these resolutione than are thous who favor them. The Church hes a perfect ..right, if it pietism, to bear stet' testimony 11 these mole. 4.101311. But the Brat °Noel:fon that I have to the paper is, that it is unnecessary. Whet good is it to do! Does any man here need to be exalted to a livelier loyalty Nothing BO nbllliZiO hati been seen in our history as the late revival of loyalty. I say, sir, we do not need to sound the trumpet to roaee our people's loyalty. Who doubts the loyalty of the Presbyterian Cburohl The speaker thought the resolutions would be injurious, and would embarrass the Federal Go vornment, while we want to strengthen its hands. And this we want to do by upholding this nutty of the body. A member.cf the President'aeabinst, on being consulted on the subjaot, said "the .beet you can do for the Union is to keep unbroken - toe unity of your Church " The speaker would put the matter In the form of a simple syllogism. :d have said to pass the redo , Intlons,would wheezer. the Government, not up hold it. Yon believe that the unity of the Church will aid the unity of the Government. You can not believe - but that - the 'passage Of the restilutiOn will tend to divide the Church; therefore to divide the Chetah is to embarrass the Government Dr. Beans, of Schenectady, here rose and said that other •members of the Cabinet wished the Church - to preserve its traity. This fact had been learned by telegraph. [Seneation Dr. Bodge resumed, saying Abet if the Church split, it tended itiquestionably to help the dine> lution of the national Union. This 'process has been begun. Tbe Methodists and Baptists have yielded The Old School Church has yet preeerved lie unity from Maine to Louisiana. Every man of us would Bay with our brother from Tonneasee, we would la down our hues for the Union. If this bond be broken our blood flows with it: The fate of the Church lies in your hands, brethren Dif ferenoes of political opinion do not interfere with church memberehip. I am fully convinced that the interests of our Church, and of religion gene rally, demand and require that we remain on. body. We have 300,009 oommtmloaats acattared over the whole country. It is the most conserva tive Church in the land, and in pleading . for the Church we are ' pleading for. the Government for the entire Chnroh in this land, and for the entire world. Yeaterday there was so meeting of the Southern commissioners, with a few Northerners, at which a paper was offered, modified, and adopted, and it is to be pretented se a substitute for the reeoltitions offered by Dr. Spring.
