By Telegrapli. From Europe. New YORK? March 22.-The steamship Australasian has -rived from Liverpool. No date given. The relations ho tween Prussia and Aus? tria continue unamicable. Austria has called for thc mediation of England, which has|been refused. -< ^ ? > THE UNITED STATES, FRANCE AND MEXICO.-John Mitchel writes an? other interesting letter to the New York News, in which occurs the fol? lowing passage: "The French Chamber is still dis? cussing the clauses of their address in response to the Emperor's speech. The passage relating to Mexico is to go undiscussed, at the request of the Governmeut, because negotiations are in progress, and inconsiderate ex? pressions of opinion might produce invitations and complications. The avoidance of discussion, under the circumstances, was wise; and if, at your side of the Atlantic, there were some power or influence that could stop tlie braying in Congress of such donkeys as 'Mr. Whaley, of West Virginia,' it would be a point gained. The French troops will assuredly soon be withdrawn from Mexico, provided there be no bullying on the part of the United States-otherwise, not soon, possibly not at all. 1 have mentioned before in this correspon? dence, and beg to repeat it again, that if the Americans wish for a war with France, they can have it." The Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune pretends to com? municate a secret-"special to Gree? ley"-namely: "I am enabled to inform you of an important fact not yet publicly known in Paris. Mr. Seward's answer to M. Drouyn de l'Huys' despatch of January 9, has arrived. Although the French Government has not yet pronounced an official opinion upon it, I have reason to know from ex? pressions let drop by two or three Ministers that the Cabinet of the Tuilleries is very mueh pleased with the contents. From what I can learn, Mr. Seward has framed the delicate despatch which he had to draw with skill and address. While'reiterating and re-enforcing all that the United States Government has ever said upon the Mexican question, he has happily commanded language to de? scribe the position from which Ame? rica will not budge au inch iu terms which France will probably make up its mind to consider as not incompati? ble with its own views. Mr. Seward's latest communication relieves them from a load of anxiety, and the rela? tions of France and the United States in regard to Mexico now stand upon a very good footing." THE PENALTY.-Winiam Wright, a citizen of New Orleans, Louisiana, has been tried before a military com? mission, at that place, on the charges of seditious and treasonable lan? guage, (the specification states that he sang the "Bonniq Blue Flag," and halloed "Hurrah for Jeff. Davis and the Southern Confederacy," in the streets of New Orleans,) and at? tempted to create a riot. The follow? ing extract gives the finding and sen? tence of the court: HEADQ'RS EAST'N DIST. LOUISIANIA, NEW ORL?ANS, LA., Feb. 28, 1866. General Order Np. ll. * * * * * Finding-Of the specification, first charge, "guilty."

THE RICE CROP.-We clip the fol? lowing paragraph from the Marion (Crescent : A gentleman, who has just arrived from Georgetown, gives a more en . couraging view of the prospect of a crop of rice than had been generally entertain?d. Thc freedmen, gene? rally, in the early part of tho year, showed great indisposition to engage their services, being possessed of tho idea that the lands would be given them, and, in some localities, a very hostile feeling was manifested to the whites, rendering it very dangerous for the planters to return to their plantations; but the prevalence of the small-pox amongst them, their very general ignorance of the disease, aud the neglect of timely precautions having incurred its ravages to a fright? ful extent-the mortality reaching to sixty per diem-has disabused their minds of all chimerical ideas and in? duced them to contract pn reasonable terms, though at so late a period that the usual crop will not be planted. Still a sufficient number of acres will be cultivated to enable ns to look for? ward to a considerable reduction in the price of this very necessary grain. .-"i ' Dr. "Winship, so says a Boston paper, now weighs ibo pounds, is thirty-two years of age, and can lift a GnnrantceingQIToreign Bonds. The following amusing article is from the Bichmond DispatcJi : It is anticipated that when Mr. Blaine's resolution, in the House of Representatives, to brand all attempts at guaranteeing Mexican or Fenian bonds as unworthy the dignity of Congress, comes up again in that body, there will be a lively time. There are said to be strong influences at work in Washington on the Mexi? can project. There ought to be equally strong influences at work on the Fenian project. The bonds of the Irish republic present as good an opportunity for a judicious invest? ment as the bonds of the Mexican republic. There can be no doubt that one is as secure and reliable as the other, and that if Congress guar? antees both, it will afford intense sa? tisfaction to a large and deserving class of tho community. The Mexican republic has a Pre? sident, a Cabinet and Congress, all the forms and every quality of an in? dependent Government, except the possession of the country, and the power to enforce its decrees. It has no army, but neither has Prussia; it has no money, but what ?3 better, re? lies on the affections of the people. It travels from place to place, as the exigences of the public service re? quire, and in this way makes itself acquainted with the wants, sentiments and interests of every section. We suppose there is scarcely a foot of ground in the immense territory of Mexico which Juarez has not visited, in company with all the officers of his Government, and exchanged courtesies with the principle persons of the locality. Marshal Bazaine, the French general who courteously placed a vessel at the disposal of Santa Anna, and requested him to go to any part of the Avorld, so that he did not return to Mexico, has, with equal benignity, facilitated the movements of President Juarez through the extensive regions of the republic, placing at his dis? posal a motive power in the polished bayonets of France which, energetic? ally applied to his rear, has given au irresis tilde impetus to his faculties of locomotion. Where President Juarez now is, in what sequestered valley or mountain gorge the Mexicau x-epub lic is now browzing the herbage, and resting for a moment from its inces? sant travels, we have no means of as? certaining with precision. But it would be a sublime ruoi-al spectacle for the Congress of the United States, with a heavy debt already upon the nation, to show that this country does not regard its own interests when the weak and oppressed demand its as? sistance. Even if the Mexican re? public is a myth, even if Mexican re? publics have been Mexican anarchies or militaiy despotisms from the hour of Mexican independence; even if no sane man doubts that, were Maxi? milian to leave the country to-mor ! row, Mexico would become a political I and social chaos, let us, by all means, guarantee the bonds of the Mexican republic. The Fenian republic has equal claims upon our guaranteeing philan? thropy. No one denies that the Irish republic already exists in New York. It has a President, a Senate and a House of Representatives; a Secre taiy of War, a Secretary of the Navy, and other secretaries too numerous to mention. It has an immense revenue, having on this vital point an incom? parable advantage of the Mexican republic. It counts its income by millions, and the fountain that sup? plies the funds is never dry. The heart of an Irishman communicates directly with his pocket, and his heart is as inflammable as gunpowder. His sympathies are crystalized readily into precious stones of immense value. The cajmeious pockets of the republic ar? always full. Whenever the military chest needs replenishing, an assemblage at Jones' Wood, and an assurance that Ireland is in arms, are more than sufficient to meet all the wants of the occasion. In addi? tion to the Fenians in the United States, there is an army of 300,000 Irishmen in Ireland, which Captain Cafferty declares is the best disci? plined body of men the world ever saw. If this startling proposition re I quires any proof, we see it in the I strong curb which keeps them quiet ' and forbearing, whilst the British j Government is lording it with a high j hand over the whole country, throw I ing Fenians into jail by hundreds, ] sentencing others to transportation, and garrisoning all the strong points i of the island, lt must bc a high [state of discipline, indeed, which keeps an army of :.u0,000men patient and unresisting under such intense provocation. Let Congress make haste, therefore, to guarantee the bonds of the Irish republic, and the British lion will tuck his tail between Iiis legs and howl with anguish. The country is waiting impatiently for the guarantee of the Mexican and Fenian bonds. There are no domes? tic concerns of importance which re? quire the attention of Congress, and we are at full leisure, and entirely competent, to risk the war with Eng? land and France which this guaran? teeing process would be certain to ' involve. Henry Ward Beecher's church have, by a large majority, laid on the table the proposition to engage an assistant for the pastoral work. One member : said he thought the church saw little I enough of Mr. Beecher as it was; if ? j the proposed change should be adopt? ed, they would see less of him. ?ce for a good coolie in Ha An Original Letter from Gen. Wash? ington. In Pollard's "Southern History of the First Year of the "War," an origi? nal letter from Gen. Washington to one of the immortal signers (and still preserved in the family,) is for the first time allowed to meet the public eye. It was written from Washing? ton's headquarters, near Boston, in the midst of the struggle for Ameri? can independence. The picture it draws of the Massachusetts people is strangely different from what they have sought with such pertinacity to impose on the public as a true repre? sentation of their character. If Washington was not mistaken in his judgment of "these people," many of them in 1775 were much the same as the present generation showed themselves in seeking to fill their quota with negroes obtained from distant States, and by seizing freshly land emigrants and forcing them into the army, and who now, under the lead of their Sumners and Wilsons, seem determined to keep up a war of strife and bitterness, and to prevent a reconstruction of the Union. The letter to which we refer will doubtless prove interesting to our readers, and is given below as it is printed on pages 341-2 of the volume referred to: "CAMP AT CAMBRIDGE, Aug. 29, 1775. "DEAR SIR: * * * * As we have now nearly completed our lines of defence, we have nothing more, in my opinion, to fear from the enemy, provided we can keep our men to their duty, and make them watchfid and vigilant; but it is among the most difficult tasks I ever undertook in my life to induce these people to believe that there is or can be danger till the bayonet is pushed at their breasts; not that it proceeds from any uncom? mon prowess, but rather from an un J accountable kind of stupidity in the lower class of these people, which, I believe me, prevails too generally among the officers of the Massachu? setts part of thc army, who are nearly all of Jthe same kidney with the privates, and adds not a little to my difficulties, as there is no such thing as getting officers of this stamp tc exert themselves in carrying orders iuto execution. To curry favor wit! the men (by whom they were chosen, and whose smiles possibly they maj think they may again rely) seems tr be one of the principal objects o: their attention. I submit it, there fore, to your consideration, whethei there is, or is not, a propriety in tba resolution of the Congress whicl leaves the ultimate appointment o all officers below the rank of Gene ral to the Governments where th< regiments originated, now the arrm is become Continental? To me, i appears improper in two points o view. First, it is giving that powe and weight to an individual Colony which ought of right to belong to tb whole. Then it damps the spirit am ardor of volunteers from all but th 1 four New England Governments, a none but their people have the leas chance of getting iuto office. WouL it not be better, therefore, to hav the warants, which the Commander in-Chief is authorized to give, pr, tempore, approved, or disapproved b; the Continental Congress, or a cona mittee of their body, which I ghoul suppose in any long recess mus always sit? In this case every gentle man will stand an equal chance o being promoted, according to hi merit; in tho other all offices will b confined to the inhabitants of th four New England Governments which in my opinion is impolitic to degree. I have made a pretty goo? show among such kind of officer as the Massachusetts Governmer abounds in, since I came to this camj having broken one Colonel and tw Captains for cowardly behavior in th action on Bunker's Hill; twoCaptair for drawing more provisions and pa than they had men in their company and one for being absent from h: post when the enemy appeared thei and burnt the house just by it. B< sides these, I have at this time on Colonel, one Major, one Captain an two subalterns under arrest for tria j In short, I spare none, and yet I fe? I it will not all do, as these people seei j to be too inattentive to evcrythin but their interest. * * * * * There have been so many great ari capital errors and abuses to rectify so many examples to make, and s little inclination in the officers < inferior rank to contribute the aid] to accomplish this work, that n life has been nothing else (since came here) but one continual rout of vexation and fatigue. In shor no pecuniary recompense could indu me to undergo what I have, especial as I expect, by showing so little cou teuance to irregularities and pub! abuses as to render myself ve: obnoxious to a greatj>artof these pe pie. But as I have already great exceeded the bounds of a letter, I w not trouble you with matters relatr to my feelings. Your affections frieud and obedient servant, [Signed] GEO. WASHINGTON.

The truth is, I am told, the malfeasance extended, in numerous instances, from the head down to the meanest subordinate; but so implicated was one with the other, and so complicated were the transactions all through, that the whole set would have had to have been punished together, in order to give justice her due. It is possible there may be exceptions to the sweep? ing dismissals, scot free; but the suits, if any, will be few, and perhaps end only in an extra bill of costs to the Government. [ Wash. Cor. Philadelphia Ledger. THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI. Speaking of the mouth of the Mis? sissippi, in a letter to the New Or? leans Picayune, General Beauregard says : "From the earliest surveys on record, the passes have always had the same depths of water, i. e. from six to sixteen feet, at ordinary low water. The mean tidal rise there is from fourteen to twenty inches, ave? raging thus about seventeen inches. The two best of the six passes of the river have generally had from four? teen-and-a-half to sixteen feet water at ordinary low tide. At present, these two passes are the South-west Pass and Pass a l'Outre." A man named King, arrested a few days ago, in Louisville, for a theft recently committed in Ohio, and awaiting in jail a requisition from the Governor of Ohio, confessed to a recently confined Government de? tective that he, (King,) and not Payne, was the party who attempted to assassinate Secretary Seward. His confession being repeated to General Jeff. C. Davis, temporarily command? ing this department, he telegraphed to Washington for parties who were acquainted with the assassination con? spiracy to come on and investigate the affair. A young lady living ncr Salem, Indiana, died of sheer fright a few days since, occasioned by her brother, who had been absent three years, rapping at her door in the night, and returning no answer to her demand to know who was there. She got out of her bed to go to another room, rind fell dead on the floor. The young man intended to give her a surprise, and is distracted at the fatal result of his foolish conduct. I Mr. Lane, of Kausas, introduced i into the Senate a resolution instruct? ing the Committee on the Judiciary to report four resolutions amendatory to the Constitution; first, basing representation on voters; second, basing direct tax on the value of pro? perty; third, pledging the faith of the Government to the redemption of the national debt; fourth, prohibiting pay? ment for slaves. The resolution was adopted-yeas twenty-two, nays fif- ? teen. Mr. Stephens' final acceptance of the Georgia Senatorship, says the Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, was in conse? quence of an assurance from high officials in this city that he would be admitted to his seat, and the Pre? sident is determined to do his best to secure that admission. His case is not an isolated one. It is stated that Gen. Scott, who is at New Orleans, La., unhesitatingly endorses all that President Johnson I uttered in his speech on the 22 d ult. He expresses the hope that he will ? yet see the North and South more firmly bound together than ever, and that, to effect this, President John? son has adopted the only true and proper course. The Boston Post says: The thirty years theory of Mr. Sumner-that is, to keep the Southern States out of the Union-in a state of pupilage for thirty years, as he advocated in his Worcester speech-appears to be the doctrine of the radicals, as indi? cated by their demands of conditions precedent which it would ..take that time to fulfill.

Dr. Beckwith and a Mr. Colbert, at Smithfield, on Swift Creek, Craven County, North Carolina, were last week watching at night for thieves, when tho Doctor, making his appear? ance where Colbert did not expect him, was fired upon and shot dead by !

He got three dozen lemons and gar? gled his throat with the juice, swallow? ing a little at the same time, in order to act on the more deep-seated parts.

CHARLESTON, March 23.-Since our last weekly report, thc prices of cotton have been very well maintained, but the con? stant downward course of gold and es? chango has, in the two davs, produced a decline of l@ljc. per pound.
