FBOH EI'ROPE. PARI*, October 28, Evening.—Several more French ships-of war left Toulon during the day for Civita Vecchia. Tbe entire press are loud io praises of Victor Emanuel far his recent proclamation de nouncing Oaribaldi. Late diapatchea report Oaribaldi still holding a position near Monte Kotondo. It is reported an aggrcement has been arrived at between France and Italy, whereby the troopa of the former will uttatk the ; insurgents. The latter are thereupon expected to retreat from Papal territority into the dominion of King Victor Emanuel, where they will bu quietly disarmed by (he Italian troops PARIS, October 29, Noon.—lt is re ported that Menabrea, Prime Minister to Italy,ia pledged to accompany the French WOODS to Rome. Mourtier has recently issued a note explaining the intervention ol France in the Italian question. lie regards the expedition as justifiable tor the reason that Italy failed to protect the Popo in his lawful and time-honored rig Tits. A , aetise of honor and a due regard for the opinion* of mankind impel the Govern ment to this coUrse Moustier aster's that the agency of France will proceed no further than necessary to crush armed rebellion against the Holy Father, and free tbe Pontifielal teraitory from tbe tread of hoStil* voldiere. When these objects are accomplished, the troops of Pranee will be withdrawn, and a confer ence of the gr4at powers of Europe called to settle the Romsn question The private letter!, as well aa the newspapers by the City of Paris,.present the Roman question in a much taore eritical aspect than might be inferred from the cable telegrams A Paris backing-house notified its correspondents here to act as if the Garibaldtans would reach Rome ahead of the French, and 'rive aui the Pope before his friends can arrive to save him. The etty itself, as late as the 12th lost., la said, on good authority, to have beetl actually surroand «d by the " Party of Action," in wHiph esse It is morfe than probable that a bat tle will ;have to be freight by what ever tfateide power Volunteers to send euceor to ft. That is this contingency which is Ifeokbd upon as the most critical feature of the situation. " Tbe private advices ftom London for the most part are bine, and reflect the conviction that though war tnay be avoided for the pres ent ,it is ittre to come if the Pape persist fca staying in Rome. Garibaldi's resour eee are eaid to be mdeh more ample than hi* enemies suspect Rome and Ha JtofeiMco. The Rome correspondent of the Phils adelphia Inquirer supplies the following, which is of inteieat st this moment. If Garibaldi'a friends should push op to the walla of Rene before tbe French or Spaniah arrive at Civita Vecchia they will have either a tough battle or an easy triumph, according aa the Roman people within the walla are disposed toward them. The castle of St. Angelo is the only considerable work in Rome, and good for nothing agaioat siege cannon. The city walla.are about fifty feet high, ilefended by a few flank batteries, poorly tinned. Civita Vecchia ia about two days' inarch from ROOM ; the Garibald iana could readily tear up the railway and euibarraae tbe high road. Rome haa been twice attacked by a foreign army, once in 1827, again in 1849, both timea by the French. On the last oceaaion, Garibaldi defends od the city. He met the French army, forty thousand strong, at the western gate, called San Pancratio, where they attacked at two points. Their superior artillery soon dismounted his own from the walls, when he sillied out of the gate and charged them in flank with he bay onet, took seven hundred prisoners, anl routed their entire corps < Tarmee. They fled in the night. At dawn he pursued them six miles, drove in their flsuks with only three thonssnd men, and would have driven them into the sea, bat that tbe French sent a flag of trues and beg ped an armistice of thirty days. Gail baldi then marched fity miles from Rome, routed the whole Neapolitan nrrny, and intimidated the Spanish and Austrians from approaching. Before the truce had expired the French treachery aurprised the Italian posts outside the wslls of Rome, and afs ter two thousand been lost in assaults snd counter assaults they drew their parallels and brought up forty siege eannon- The defense wss prolonged ans tither month. Garibaldi made a flight in the breaches that was the climax of one of the superbest resistances in his tory, and no man in Europe is better ins foamed than he is to-day, upon the weak and strong points of the city. If a fight < ocars here, it will be a desperate one, ana among its episodes may be the death ®f Garibaldi, who hae sworn to enter Rome again or die under its walls.— Neither his death nor defeat can long retard the perfect unity of Italy. Tae CONDITIO* or Mexico— The hopes awakened by the persistent and successful effort af tha J uarists have not been realise d since the war has ceased ■or are they likely to ba. The financial state of the country is greatly depressed, and a general crisis seems to be expected. Those who have any business are con tracting and preparing tor the atorm the best they can. Aooording to a letter from the City of Mexico there is a fixed opinion among the Mexicans, and most foreigners, that the expected civil war will soon bring after it tha dreaded and wished for intervention of the Uuited iStatat. Powerful interests and passions hare—and, it ts surmised, some also in the United States—aie at at work to en detvor to drag the American people into intermeddling in Mexican affairs. It is conceded thst this government will be compelled, ere long, to appear in the market, either in Wall street or in the lobby of the American Congress, for American dollars fo drag is out of its financial mire, and it i« extensively be* lieved that, in venturing on it* present course of driving it* own people int» des jjsir and revolt, it relies on the ultimate support of American bayonets. Impartial Suffrage RMfd on Intelligence. Since "the revision of the suffrage laws io the several States and the proposition to do it by Congress hat* to b#l discussed, the principle of impartial 'tuff rage baaed on jutelAgence has found MANY arfrocatei. Th«W is DO doubting that it is the only plaa that will stand scrutiny, for no one has yet been found wl o can give a reason why a man qual ified by residence, intelligence and un derstanding should not vole, or why he who has not those qualifications should The color of the skiu is no more test of fitness tban the color vf the hair. Kr> ery man %ho comes within the law as to residence and possesses the proper under tsanding should »ote Hut no man thus deficient, whatever his eolar, should be { permitted to approach the ballot box. As has been very forcibly paid, an ig noriot voter is a peril, a peril, will aay, that in time will constitute the chief danger to (he Hepubhc. Among the prominent men who have spoken in favor of impartial suffrage based on intelligence, ts the lion. J W Patterson, United States Senator f¥om New Ilamiphife. This gentlculen lec tured in Boston on Wednesday evening, October 30 upon "Revolutiona, the Steps ol Prugresa." Of this lecture * report says: "tn the course of hii remarks he sa?d that the otntinacy of the rebels forced us to give the ballot to the negroes, as the only alternative of keeping a standing army in every Southern town. But, while a strong advocate of impartial suff rage he he did not favor manhood suffrage, except throughs>»iflhood edu cation. It might do in Ne# Engfatid, but it would not do for California with her ninety thousand Chinamen. He wOiild not have suflVage'exorcisfcd by In dians or AiteCS, arid he believed that the man who is to help govern a natibn' needs intelligence in order to properly diss charge the duties vested in his suffrage. The ballot is the bulwark of self-govero meut, and the ballot must be protected by intelligence. Were we assilred of « juificious annexation of territory* lb 'the future, and that education could keep pace witn the ift'crtaaA of population, no danger need be apprehended from man hood suffrage. Buttb6 question of man hood suffrage bad better be left to, the States than provided for'lb every State by act ef Congress or Constitution al Amendment. A government is bo less republican in form without manhood fcnf frage, but a government is not republican in form that provides class restrictions for the ballot box. There will be no thorough reconstruction of our Govern ment until free speech and impartial lib erty peevail in all parta of oar country." GIN. GRANT AND THE SOUTHERN EDITOR.—As several papers are trying to make something out of the report of a political interview between Gen. Grant and a certain Southern editor, in which the General talked like a first class Con servative, it may be worth while to state a fact or two. The editor in questionjis Dr. Sam Bard, of the Atlanta New Era. He comes up here to collect claims against the War Department. Some of them are found to be for work never done; others for work done, but not authorixed; and atill ethers are excessive chargea for work ordered and done. He was in the rebel araiy four years, snd the editorial in which he Dominated General Grant was wr tten in this city aome months ago, by tbe correspondent of a New York pa per. Bard then thought Gen. Grant would be caught by the Democrats. Finding cut. since the summer session of Congress adjourned, that he does not train witb that party, Bard ia anxioaa to juatify himself to hie rebel frienda here and at home, in the poaition he has taken Accordingly, he has reported sround town, daring Grant's absence, that he had been accorded a private interview, and had taken notes of Geo. Grant's remarks. Everybody knows that this advantursr had no suoh interview ss he claims. The interview wae very brief, and Bard did moat of the talking II; seems to be aomewhat alarmed at the atir he has ore a ted, and now claima he never madesush a report of the converaation as has been credited to him THE NEW YORK ELECTION.—The New York dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial, says : The* cha ; rman of Democratic State Central Committee, Tilden's, usually short fsce is elongated sufficiently to adorn Harper. I have just conversed with tbe lugubrious gen tleman. Hia State Convention refused to indorse the President. His organ, tbe World, repudiated the President and the Pendleton greenback question.— Thus errayed, they weut into the fight, but finding themselves soon after short of funds, they opened negotiations witb the Freeideul, who, io return, sentacommis sioner to trest with them. Their terms were that, if he would suspend all Re publican Col'ectors and Assessors in New York they would tolerate him for tbe present. He treated tbe demand with contempt. They then sent Mr. Pierce, of Brooklyn, to get the Adminia trat ion to wink at frauds sufficient to pay the St. Nicholas Hotel headqaartera bill. Pieree came back witb a flea in hia ear. Thua we have a aplit betwaan the President ond the New York Democ racy, and between the Democrats of New York and the West. I bet my money on tbe Republicans. —There is said to be foa in cumbers, but most people thiol, it included princi pally in Ne. 1 At allevnets the faith of the world is pinned rather closely on that brief, but rather positive figure. Men keep an eye on it when seeking fortune and fame ; women when after a husband and position ; and people universally when there is any thing up worth having. This is all nataral enough. The fua in lite is pocketing all you can get and at the same time keeping other peoples pockets as dry as possible.

THE RURAL AMERICAN —We would call the attention of all agricultural and horticultural readers to the Rural Amer ican, a valuable Agricultural and Horti cultural publication, published st Utica, N. Y., on the Ist snd 15th of eachmonth, at (1.50 a year, and a valuable gratuity is sent to each subscriber, claimed to be worth, in some caaea, th* full subscrip tion price, consisting of fine steel-plate Engravings, choice Grape Vines, Rssp berry. snd Strswberry plants, the best grown; Early Go«drich Potatoes, Ac., all sent by msil, pott paid. This valuable paper is edited and pub lished by T. B. Miner, Esq., the author of seveeal works on rural puisuits, and a practical farmer aad horticulturist, of 35 years' experience ; snd he claims that ha gets up the most practicat paper for farmers and fruit growers in the United States, and the chespest also ; and fiom what we have seen of bia paper, we do not doubt the correctness of his claim. In Isying the merits of good, rural pe riodicals before our readers, we are doing a public good, inasmuch as a large por tion of the agricultural and horticultural wealth of thia country haa accumulated through the informatiou that baa been published in auch paDera, and no greater disaater to the rural population eould happen, than the suppression of such pspers for the want of patronage. We are pleased to learn, however, that the Kural American haa the largest circular tion of any paper of its clasa, except one, a monthly ; and that Mr. Miner ia the owner of several very valuable farma, on which he grows all tbe vines, plants. &c , that ha sends free to his subscribers > consequently be is enabled to fulfill all his obligationa to his subscribers with regularity and promptness. The next volume of the Rural American com** meoces January Ist, 1868 ; but Mr. Miner offers the balance of tbe 1867 vol ume free to all who subscribe for the pas per for 1868 now, and remit $1,50. This is, oertainly, a very liberal offer, and should be accepted by every farmer and fruit grower, who wants a first class paper of the kind, and one that is decidedly cheap, to say nothing about gratuities offered.'. Grape oultnre is becoming one of the great staples of rural produotioa in the United States. It is astonishing to note the immense increase in that product within the last ten years. Mr. Miner has 156,000, as he esjs, of the choices; vint" iu this country, tbst he *end» free to Ilia subscribers. Verily, a man that does thus ia one of the greatest benehe lOrs of the age. He alio has 800 buakejs of that highly popular potato, the Rarly Qoodrioh, which he proposes to send free to all his patrotis. j In short, we advise our agricultural friends to semd for a sample copy of tbe Rural American to T. B. Clinton, Ouoi da, Clinton county. N. Y., and see for themselves what the paper ia, and what is offered as gratuities to subscribers and premiums to Club agentsand you will be surprised to see the liberal gratuities and premiums that be offers to them.

GOOD WAY OF COOKINQ OKIONS.—• It is a good plan to boil onions in mi!k and water; it dismisses the strong taste of that vegetable. It is an excellent wav of serving up onions to chop them after they are boiled, and put them in a stew pan, with a little milk, butter, salt and pepper, and let them stew about fifteen min utes. This give* them a fine flavor, and they can be served up very hot. —A man Remarked wh|le inspect ing the print of the feet of birds in the stones exhibited in the vestibule of the Natural History Rooms— that those marks were evidences of the antiquitj of the track socirty.

But as to the 1 question, what grouqda are there for complaint or for fears t And first, as to the grounds of com- ■ plaint; What position has the Republi! i can party taken that commits it to either aide of this questiqu ?

Hut who is mainly responsible for the notion of the Court ? In my judgment tho people, without referenoe to party, are responsible; and 1 trust thiy will acbept the responsibility without any undue manifestations of nervousness. What are ihe fact's ? In the winter of 1806 we had four common school teachers supported by general taxation fcr the purpose of educating the youth of this borough. Several other schools were at tached to some of tlie churches of this place, and sustained by denominational patronage. We have also nine edifices in which as many congregations meet to worship God ; attached to most, if not all ot these, are Sabbath Sobools, organ ised and conducted with a view to the moral training of the youth—the culti* vation of the mind and heart of the rising generation, the better to prepare them for usefulness in the present lile, and eternal enjoyment in the world to come. A High School is also founded here, under the care of one ot our most popu lar and useful denominations. The friends of education bad bestowed their influence and confidence npon it most unqualifiedly. Through it, not only many of our young ladies and gentlemen had been liberally educated; but its just fame aa a suceesslul school had gathered to its various classes many from adjacent counties. Under the combined influ» ences of the various literary and religiou R institutions above mentioned, one would naturally suppoae our community might soon become a second h'den. Unfortunately for us, as I believe, we hnd in our boruugh lour licensed hotels and about the samo number of restau rants, all of which seemed to be well pat« rouized. Some of the barrs were even sub-let, (contrary to law ) The evil ef fects of these plboe* of resort were appa rent to every observer. Men by the dozen, otherwise respectable and indus trious, might be seen loafing about these hotels, under the influence of liquor. Sosae of them would »tay till a very late hour—losing all self-respect, they could be seen on the street laie at night, the sport of the boys and a blut on decency and good order. From dark till midnight the restaus rants were the haunts of the yonth of the vicinity While this state of things was not improving to the morals, it was inju rious to the finances of those who fre quented these places oi pleasure and dis sipation We will not follow the poor inebriate as he made the best of his way home in the dead hours of night to a heart-broken wife and famishing children ; nor will we examine the efleets of restaurant en joyments upon youth All this is well understood ; sufficient to say, iliat to im prove this state or things, the good peo ple of this town, without reference to either church or party, remonstrated against the licensing of these places in the future, On these remonstrances were found the names of I. J„. Cummings, and Sheriff Brackenridgs, of Wm Camp bell and Wm. S. Beyd, of Jas. Balpb and Harvey Colbert, of JI. J. Berg and Dr. Bell, of Rev.■ White, anti-war Democrat,) and Rev. Dr. Young.

Judge Taney deviated Irani this rule to serve party, aa did also Judges Woodward and Sharswood, Hut I hope, for the honor of this important branch ofr our Government, their ex amples will not be followed. I must onuiess to a great contempt for the Court in whose rulings [ have ever observed the influence of party. It was true, as your correspondent allowed, that the law passed by our last Legislature was used by the Detuooracy aa a campaign document, and a* such dropped at the d6or of each of our hotels and' redfturants. This was a poor com pliment tb their intelligence, however, they should all have known that we are indebted to the Daiu lcratic party for our'present stringent laws on the whis key traffic Senator Brown, of Philadel phia, and Senator Buckalew, now Demo cratic Senator of the United States, were tw&ot the pioneers on this subject.

Certainly not, that I can see. It is a fact, |&rh:>p eeptions to this rule are at least 100 iharp to join their fortunes with a played out organization like the Democracy. They prefer an allianae with the party in pow er where they can elaiiu an occasional crumb. My word for it, they will not leave us while we are in the majority. I was going to say, that old ,: Cluty," with a plattoon of horned devils could not drive them from us—at any rate they will not go. When Uie old fashioned Democracy was in power, the bloods of the party —the boys who ran the uaohiiie— thruuged their contentions—took their nominations—and with free whiskey car. ried the emotions :—but «• hav» made great strides forward since those days. A new set of mea hare eone forward, representing » new set of ideas. Those young bloods of the Democracy hare re* tired from the profession of politics and left the care of the organization to the ! fathers in Theie patriarchs «t« MMn making tbelt annual pilgriM^g® 1 to our peaceful town to mako their nouf ioations and declare their vieict ot the Constitution. For several years I hare noi seen • delegate to a Democratio Con. rention go home drunk ! What a change! Tlw truth is, modern Democratic politi cians seem to have no money to spend. Instead of riding up to a Hotol, whefl they arrife in tiwo, they are frequently seen stowing their horses away rir the stable of some acquaintance, and With t • lice of short cake or rye bread in their hand, winding their way to-the Conven tion—where, if they have an occMinnai qtrarter it is filched from them for the purpose of paying for the printing of the ticket* for some wounded eoldier who has consented to become w victim ore their ticket t Ii any of our hotel or restaurant keepl - were mersenary enough to change their politics on business considerations, they will not be likely soon to seek fel lowship with a party aueh as I have just described. To be brief, let ut leave ther license question where we fotmd it, in the hands of tße' cititttns and the Conrt, with faith in their wisdom and virtue. In the meantime, let us rally once more lor a National victory, with Grant, Lib erty and Impartial lyfitti for our met to.
