Free Trade or Protection in Franceand the Imperial Position.

The German niall steamship German ia, Captainffchwensen. from Southampton on the 2#th of May,arrived at this port yesterday evening, bringing a

report Is detail of our cable despatches dated to herday ol sailing.The Moniteur de VAlgerte of the 12th May publishesa despatch of the Minister of War to the GovernorGeneral respecting a letter of the Archbishopf Algiers on the application of the funds intended

(Mr the relief of the necessitous Arabs. In replyMgr. Lavigerle addressed to Marshal Nlel a letter Inwhich he saysNo, Monsieur le Mlnlstre, a thousand times no. Not

la any respect do 1 desire, either by force, or constraintor persuasion to bring souls to a faith theAnt condition of which is to be free. And what I sayhere, Monsieur le Ministre, that have I exactly practisednow for near a year towards our poor Arabs.Not one of those to whom I have furnished food,clothing and succor of all kinds has heard from meor from those who represent me a singleworo resembling either constraint or one ofthose shameful transactions in which theconscience of the poor is bought for a mouthfulof bread. Eighteen centuries, Monsieur le Mlnlstre,have now elapsed during which the Church has freelyxerclsed In this world the right which I here claim

lor ber, that of doing good. I venture to hope thattt will be no longer denied to her In Algeria, and thatthe recent painful misunderstandings will lie thus setaside.The sale of the ecclesiastical property In Italy continuesto give favorable results. From the 20th Octoberlast to the 30th April 16,313 lots were taken.

Their estimated value was ninety-two millions, butthey realized 12A, being thirty-two more than was expected.The Turkish imperial yacht Sultanle left the Bosnhnruufor AlAiandrntta tn hriiur to f\tnuf ant innnlo

Rome, May 23. 1*88.Your readers are aware that a certain number of

volunteers from the United States and Oanaaa are

already In the Pope's service, wearing the Papal2onave uniform, but as enthusiasm for the cause ofttae Church seems likely to luduee great numberstaore of young men to engage in the -ame crusade,the government of his Holiness has deemed it ad-vteable to Inform these volunteer* upon wlmt termsthey wlil l»e received before they leave the New Worldfor the Old.On the 21st Inst. Cardinal Riimabo forwarded to

the Catholic bishops In the t'niu*d state* a I,at in clrcnlarInforming those prelate* that the Holy Father* bad deigned to accept the offer they had made hitn

of sending soldiers to recruit his army, but only on

condition that these soldiers shall be sent out toRome, maintained here for three rears ami then sentback to America, entirely at the expense of the saidbishops, or rather of the faithrui who will contributepecuniary offerings for the defence of the HolySec. The circular Is very short. In it the Pope, throughCardinal Barnabo, recommends the bishops tochoose persons "tilted by their morals una piety tobecome defenders of the Apostolic See." To thisLatin circular is joined a prospectus in Italian fromthe Ministry of Arms (or W ar imice, as It would betermed in every other countrj i, stating that the battalionof American volunteers is ro be esapMMI ofnot more than one thousand tueu. to be recruited Inthe Northern and Southern States: the tuen to be allCatholics, aged from eighteen to thirty yearn: thattfcey are to bear the bat|tier of the Holv See: thatthey most bring with i hem the futids necessary fortheir maintenance; that Ueueral l.ewis is namedLieutenant Colonel of this corps and Mr. ItaudotMajor.

I am Informed that not more than l&o.ooo francshave been subscribed as yet towards the formationand maintenance of the battalion of American volunteers;but no doubt the circular of Cardinal Hamabo.'When published by the catholic bishops of the I'nitedStates In their respective dioceses, will arouse thepiety of their parishoners to more ample donations,without which the Pontifical American battalionwill never be paraded in the piazza of St.Peter's to receive the apostolic blessing of his Holiness.The following Is an exact statement of the different

nationalities comprised In what may be termed hisHoliness' crack corps:.French. 1..10I; Belgians. Osti;Dutchmen, l.eiu; Komans and l'ontlflcal subjects.167; Modenese. 12; Neapolitans, 14; i'uscaus, 6:Swiss, 10; Austrian*. 7; Prussians, si; (leruiaus, Tl;Spaniards, ,>:i: Portuguese. «; Kngltsh, 60; Irish, 101:Scotch, 10; Russians, a: Poles, 12; South Sea Islander,1; Maltese, 3; Americans, 14; Indian, 1; African,l; Peruvian, 1; Mexican, l: Circassian, |;canauians, i:m>.in an, 4,me iiomans comprisethe musicians of the several battalions <>f Zouaves,which explains ihe fact uf there being so'many orthem in what is essentially a foreign coifs.

Last night the Count of Olrgentl, brother of theex-King of Naples, arrived here with his bride,Donna Isabella, Infanta of Spain, topav their rnspecNto the Pope l>efore pwwwlM to KwttMrUlM ladVienna and to receive his blessing upon their union,the day selected for their marriage having been i he13th of May, in ommemoratlon of Pio Nouo's birthdav. Their royal highnesses arrived by sea at ClvitaVecchia and will re-embark at the same port.Sunday a select party, comprising the French Ambassador,was Invited by the Pio ostinn Company to

witness the commencement of the drainage of thelow lands between the Tiber und Torre Palermo. Inthe territory of Ostia. The experiment succeededperfectly, but torrents of rniu rendered the day veryunenjoyable.The other principal events of the week have been

tbe solemn audience granted on Monday to the newCameriengo of the Holy Konun Church, CardinalDe Angetis, and the formal consignment to lus Endnenceof the rod of otlke bl the Popt, the insigniaof a power only second to that of Ins Holiness, andwhich becomes sovereign at the demise of the Pontiffuntil the election or a new one.Tuesday Pio Nono attended the funeral obsequiesof the late quondam rpt»etl)nus. but recently

submissive Cardinal d'Andrea, over whose mortalspoils his Holiness performed the customary rites ofabsolution, covering with an apostolic benedictionthe memory of Ids momentary misdeeds.Thursday the annual fontitlcal high mass to celebrateAscension Day was attended by the Supreme

Pontiff, in full gala equipage. The Irregular, but always picturesque piazza of St. John *1.ateran wascrowded with spectators and applicants for thePope's blessing and scramblers lor the spiritual{>ri»es of plenary indulgence, which, duly impartedn two formal bulls, his Holiness threw down fromthe balcony above the grand ponlco of Pope Clement,according to traditional custom.

Paris, May 30, 1W.The fxrtiinn »t tlip Legislative Assembly

on the commercial policy of Franco were closed mosttriumphantly by M. Mother. Noi wlthsrnnrtlnK all M.Thiers' (ttpiomnry it wan the Minister of State, amiot he, who had the lust word. M. Knnhcr Is more

than a shade cleverer than M. Thiers. The lactabr< "tfht fxrwuri) bjf the Minister proved that tli#

NKW Y(JKieral treaties between England and other Staleswere tfce first steps made towards releasing Framefrom bonds which nave to long kept her down andmade her bo backward tn commercial enterprises.He then proceeded to demolish all theedifices of figure* piled up by the protectionistleader*. After his able, calm and soberdevelopment* M. Pouter Quertier could hot wipehia forehead; he even once left hla bench, and on returningmaintained that hla figures were correct,that he could prove them aud would do ao; but fortunateiybe dia not, for such statistics, provenothing at a Parliamentary sitting, where the attentionof the members cannot follow long tariShor Investigate numerical operations without somequiet and preliminary study. The tossing about ofthe customs millions! from one orator to the other lafutile where uo reliable document Is produced afterinvestigation. M. Uoulier therelore resumed his inquiryinto me economic couduiou of the country,snowing mat me maintenance of the present tariffsas they were established by the consent and concurrenceof the Chamber wan easenual io the prosperityof trade. He watt of opinion with M. i-oreade de laRoquette, the Minister of Commerce, that Frenchmanufacture*, agriculture and commerce had pannedthrough a trying and temporary crisis, but that thenew system would eventually be considered aa oneof the glories of the present regime.M. Thiers became most excitable. His interruptionswere frequent, and he was allowed to interrupt

pretty equably, according to the tactics which 1pointed out lately. His monopoly of interruption,in fact, made another speech from him impossible.There was some foundation for his excitement on thewhole. He had formerly predicted that the slightestdiminution of the duties on woollen tissues wouldbring about the absolute ruin of the French trade.He was now compelled to hear that the exportationof these articles had Increased by one hundred andtwenty millions yearly. It was Worse when documentscame to prove that the development given toFrench commerce had risen from 4,ooo,uoo,ooof. inlotto to 8tooo,ooo,ooof. in it>oe.There certainly was not a weak point In M.

Kouher's speech, but there was a deplorable lapsus.He ably refuted the accusation concerning the unprotectedstate of native industry; he answered complaintsor halfway reforms; he energetically opposedthe abolition of the treaties; he promised that thecustoms tariift in the future should be inquired intoby the Legislature and submitted to the appreciationof that body.this latter point is the only concession,In fact, which the protectionists and M. Thiers haveobtained.but he did not deign allude to the politicalside of the question, a point so fervently advocatedby M. Emile Olivier and so totally disregarded bytiie Minister of State because, it 1s the knotty point.the point on which general interest centres.the questionof peace and war.This is the evil, as, in plainer terms, which of the

two counsels are to predominate in the Cabinet,that of the clergy and M. Kouher, or that of the Marshal?The divergence of opinion between thesecounsellors is but a secondary consideration as faras the nation is concerned; but what Is not immaterialIs the Indecision caused, the oscillation felt iuconsequence thereof by neighboring States.During the last days of the free trade debates anotherquestion of equal Importance was being discussedat the Senate.that of rellglou, or rather of

the deuegatlou of religion by prolessors In thehigher spheres of public instruction. M. Duruy andthe Cardinals were, in unparliamentary words,"having it out." The Minister of Public Instructionhas at length, and in this sitting, declared that anytendency towards materialism in the doctrinestaught shall be stopped by the proscription of theclass, or course, in which such principles shall beadvanced.The result of this is that the doctors think their case

very hard and themselves much to be pitied for notbeing allowed to propagate their disbelief In the immortalityof the soul. The Cardinals Donnet andUonuechose were particularly virulent, especially thelatter. Many of M. Duruy's institutions having metwith their censure, this was an excellent occasionfurnished by M. Duru.v's dithcultles with the doctorsat universities and upper schools to comc down onhim. Their wholesale anathemas on science wereabundant. M. Duruy's avocations as a Christian butln>eral thinker, combined with those ol a Minister oPi'ubiic Instruction, make ttie duties he Ini* t<» ner-lorrn of a delicate nature, and up to the present hisrate ha* beeu Ui content those whom tie has dishatistit'Uand vie versa. It is likely that, notwithstandingnil til* efforts to achieve what lie considers Just andequitable by way of eontlnlug the clergy on onehand and stopping atheism on the other, few voiceswill be raised in his favor beyond his own and theEmperor's, with whom religious toleration is a convictionaud a glorious system.Want of space aud abundance of matter will not

admit of long comment on the affair of Tunis, whichis clearing up satisfactorily to Kngland, France audItaly. It Is supposed that the line of conduct adoptedhy the Minister of Foreign Affairs was not adhered toby the Emperor, and that in consequence of someneglect at the commencement of difficulties M. deMousuer would resign his office to M. Drouyn deLhuys. These rumors were unfounded as far as thelatter was concerned. Should any change occur inthe Foreign Department M. de Lavalette would be M.de Moustier's probable successor, and tbe name ofU. Drouyn de Lhuys was only put forward becausehut recent interview with the Emperor on agriculturaltopics coincided with the coercive measuresadvocated with regard to Tunis by M. de Moustier.

Agriculture has lately much occupied tbe Emperor,and he has consented to close tbe show at Kouenon the 3lst inst. It may not be tbe place wherethe head of the State is most liked after the dcleatof the member for that locality, M. Fouyer Quertler,but It Is supposed the peaceful speech not made atOrleans will here be pronounced. It may be trulysaid that wheuever the Emperor leaves the Tullorieshe is supposed either to carry war or peace in hismantle.The maritime exposition at Havre, which opens on

the 1st of June, Is looked forward to with much satisfaction.It is to be a very vast affair. Frince Napoleonhas consented to be named honorary preBldeut.The products are not exclusively for the use of tbenavy, other branches of Industry will also coml>ete,but ariteles calculated to perpetuate greatactivity in the docks are tbe principal features.Thus the building, installation, arming and riggingof ships, hshlng tackle and instruments uaed in fishing.goods imported and exported, maritime chemlstrv,Ac., arc so various that the whole Expositiondues not include less than four groups aud twentysixclasxea.At nine o'clock tbe galleries will be open to the

Joyce, the husband of the ap.pellant, and dated February 12, 1866. By thiswill the testator Rave all his property to hta wifeand appointed her executrix.

The

President, Mr. (ieorge B. Lincoln, occupied the chair.A communication was read from D. B. Eaton, the

legal advisor of the Board, In reference to the communicationsreceived at the last meeting, from theComptroller of the city and the Counsel to the Corporation,with regard to the disposition of the moneyscollected by the Board of Excise. The CorporationCounsel claims that the moneys collected by thatBoard should tie given to the Sinking Fundand not to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction.Mr. Eaton gave it as his opinion that It Isnot the duty of the Board or Its officers to decide onthe matter, it 1h safe, however, to hold the moneystuns collected until the question Is raised and.decidedby the courts. It is presumed that in anyapplication made to the court by either of the sameclaimants notice will be given to the other, sothat, the question may be conclusively determined Ina single proceeding. The communication was receivedand copies were ordered to be forwarded tothe Corporation Counsel and the Commissioners ofCharities and Correction.The weekly communication from the Registrar of

There were 4 deaths by drowulng in Brooklyn,and the populous watei sides of other portions of Kingscounty and of the shores of Westchester, Queens and Richmondcounties witnessed similarly fatal accidents. As thebest methods for rescuing or resuscitating the drowned canbe readily understood and practised, It certainly seeins deslrabje that a methodical ettort should be made lu save some ofthe precious life that Is needlessly lost bv drowning.This la the more -necessary because of the extentof the watersides within the Metropolitan district.These exposed fronts amount to more than84 miles in New York cltv, not Including the excess byserrated piers, and to about 1(1 miles In Brooklyn, 33 mi.es luother parts of Kings and lu Queens counties, 30 miles onStaten Island and not less than 70 miles In Westchesteroounty. The Central Park Commissioners have most commendably placed In each police odicer's book In the Park a

copy of Ur. Silvester's "Kules for Saving the Drowned." Asthis la the season when, In the absence of free public baths,great numbers are exposed to the risk of drowulng, It Isplainly a duty to make timely efforts to prevent as manv ofthese unfortunate deaths as possible.

COIttlHTEXCf H JOCRJALHfl.

[From the Round Table, June 6-1The New York Hkkai.d printed the other day an

unusually thoughtful and well expressed article onUl'Winu nAr crmmutoiwi- unmu t\f tho iminta nf whichIf not especially original, are worth more uttenUonthan they appear commonly to receive. It Is palpablytrue, if not generally acknowledged, that many"party editors mean l»y consistency a persistence Inone course, whether t ight or wroug, and adhering tocertain political dogmas, whether applicable or notto the circumstances of-the times." The usefulnessor political writers, considered as public Instructors,Is undoubtedly much diminished by that incapacityfor juiliclal speculation which is so apt to attend anato grow upon the pledged ailhcrcnts ol aparticular party. Very seldom ludced does ithappen that all the measures of one partyare the best auil all those of another theworst possible for lie public good. Yet such is theusual external pressure that writers who are avowedadvocates of either party are constrained to insist onno less, so that the public kuow beforehand that anyproposal whatever, let its intrinsic merits be whatthey may, If brought forward by one party will besweeplngly and unhesitatingly condemned by the .

organs of the other. The public is thus accustomedto regard such a sysfent as a matter of course, andIts morality pusses unquestioned, lor the mo: t part,by universal consent. It follows, then, when a publicisthappens to possess the couruge or the patriotismto defeud or adopt a measure repm-'huia to hitpartyhe is sure to tie denounced as a renegade ortrimmer. un<l Ills inconsistency" is taken for grantedwithout the least examination into the moral or intellectualmerits of the charge. The Hfkai.i in tliearticle we have mentioued, proceeds to vindicate It*position as follows:.

If we saw a party pursuing a count calculated to Involve ,

the country In civil w.tr we «hould oppose II nrilli ni> outmight; but IF war shouid come In spite <»f our ellorta and tb«Integrity of the country war* threatened w« xhoulo i;o Willitue very party we bad opposed to save tlie IIIn ol tlo' nation.Ami this, In taut, aa li well known,ha* been our coorae. Th«radical press was consistent In Yuicltie. civil war .toil thencarrying it out, and the copperhead press was coi.sli tent inoppoaiug the Interests ol the republic arter win commenced.Which was nujst consistent as regards the welfareol the country, they or we, under the circumstancesKveiyright thinking person will sav the II kra n was consistent Inthe proper sense of the worn and the party press Inconsistent.There is a logical foice in this which people wno do

noc like the IIuuai.u will be reluctant to acknowledge,but which hose who can see any propriety in strivingto be fair minded men as well as coiisisi.cn: politicianswill scarcely deny. There were thousands of

erly opposed tj the political attitude of Lite I r goverument,but who yet strained every nerve in :lie fieldand elsewhere to prevent mat government'sdestruction. There are ihousauds who heartily advocateduniversal emancipation, hut who now are hoInconsistent as to disbelieve in the policy of universalnegro Hiitfruge. Such persons, whether th< y .-.peak Inprivate or through the press, are either Limited asbacksliders, ren^.'adea aud apostates to ire* doin orarc more gen treated as being "Inconsistent."Society encouru, s this species of malversation forreasons which arc very easy to understand. Politicalpower Is enjoyed in this country by a great many uneducatedor partly educated people, who are readilyImpressed and persuaded.as such people alwayshave been from time immemorial.by plaicitile criesof a levelling, subversive or revolutionary character.The rights of mail, universal brotherhood, the overthrowof tyranny are specious catchwords, which,often utterly unmeaning or totally Inapplicable as regardsth'' present business in hand, are alwayssafely depended upon by those who make a prolltout of popular Ignorance. The multitude, in ot>edienceto laws as old as the lulls and seas, will always,up to the turning point of relief from anarchythrough accepted despotism, prefer a bad government,m which all have a voice, to good governmentdirected by the wiser lew. Not the ostensible end olthe best possible management of public affairs, butthe munugeiuent, good or bad, lu which all have ashare, is the ideal of the masses who habitually,incorrigabiy, and Inevitably confuse meuns audends. That this should readily be taken advantageof by deintvgoges In a democratic countr.\ is perfectlynatural; aud in fact we constanly see menwhoso Insanity it is to make themselves at all costsconspicuous, going,from extreme to extreme, shoutingwildly to the people to follow, aud spurringthe peop.e to revile and to punish all whodissent from their teachings. Sensible Americansare much ashamed of Mr. Ueorge FrancisTrain aud wonder that a journal of the pretensionsof the World should be so foolish us to print his preposterousravings; but yet Mr. Train is only thelegitimate outgrowth, the ultimate irull, or socialand political conditions whose graduated productsmay be pointed out lu other uien, "leaders amongthe people," who are scarcely less ridiculous thanhimself. The lesson unconsciously taught by allthese demagogues or pseudo-demagogues is clear.They teach that It Is oniy needful to be i ouslstentin trusting to tne uttermost degree the Milllbilliyand blindness of the crowd, not only to es'iibltsh aconspicuous position, but also the privilege authoritativelyto denounce all others us inconsistent anddeserving of tue party taboo who refuse to go to thefurthest extremes of extravagance iind folly.The seven republican Senators who voted to acquit

the President are, of course, in the eyes of such in-simoons, very iiiic uiuneis ui lucousisicrr.'y. wcarc told tliut some negroes 111 Washington collectedin a church lately and prayed thut cixidi^n punishmentfrom ats>ve might bo meted out to those recreantlegislators "wlui. alter takln' a solemn ii.it', votedto acquit ile prlsouer." Ami tills I* just the sort olspirit ami the sort of knowledge on which uto demagogicHpint depends in order to carry out Its purposesThe cry for universal education ami diffusedintelligence, xo often raised by journals advocatingextreme opinions, is sulildal if nor disingenuous;for If the stundarl* ot education ami intelligencewere really advanced among us the whole trauo andminim d'etre of sucli journals would l»e <li ueautiywith; not because tlieir work as popular educatorswould have been accomplished, lint becu .se their Inaueueeauilstrength positively depemis upm. the prevalenceof that Ignorance which tuey ul;< o deprecate.To understand tills we have onl. jk ourselves,as Illustration-, how long a paper ike theChurch Union would live in our own t.'iuiii". ige, orhow Iouk a paper like the VrUnme would live in theEnglish Oxford, only by becotnlmr reii'y inconsistent"would these sheets be able to re..mi theirvitality; they oertaimy could not continue 10 existby continuing to be what they are, for tliey live bythe weakness that Is without rather than i»y thestrength that is within, and would perisn il life dependedupon the secr-lion of Individuality, heroismand independence of thought, without exterior aidor countenance. Journalists, on the other iiand, ofa different type.men of catholic spirit an eclecticliberality, wen who have too much self-respect todepend for their status upon the paeons andprejudices of the Ignorant. will frequently dare,like Wellington or Peel or Ulsraeil. or thesesame seveu senators. to tnink and act for tli. mselvesIn directions traversing or directly opposite to theirformer paths, tlms rtskiug the reproach of Inconsistency,or even the imputauon of dishonesty, for thesake of a well established internal conviction.a convictionthat Is not established by arguments drawnfrom other men's prejudices, but from their ownmoral nature. On the whole It is perhaps true thatwhat Is commonly termed consistency is generallyoverrated, and this especially by the Ignorant. Obstinacyand party aeai get credit often for virtueswhen they better deserve to be stigmatised as vices.The truly progressive soul Is lu< 'insistent always inthe sense of knowing more, and so i>elntt wiser to-daythan icterday. If would Is* well for us all If suchsouis were more numerous and If a greater numberof our Journals were directed by tliem, for surely anIndependent and progressive, rather than a merepart* and "consistent," press is the best moral am)intellectual educator for the pe iple.
