From our exchanges of last evening wc take the following news : Impartial Suffrage.-Position of the Presi dent. Washington, Novomber 19.-Tho Washington Republican, which has the honor of representing the opinions of tho President, bas, in its ?sbuo of the 19tb, the following : Suffrago should bo conferrod by the States, that right boing guaranteed to each ?Stute by tho Con stitution. A.idrew Johnson ia in favor of qualified suffrago in Tonncssco as a citizen of that; State. Ho authorized us, in behalf of tho Chief Executive of the nation, to urgo qualified suffrago for throo classes of colored mort of this District, in April last, and at his Biiggostiou wo renewed tho propo sition again in July, only about one week before Con?roaa adjourned. Wo took special pains to notify sovoial R.idicnl Sonators and Representa tives, who wcro anxious inquirors on tho subject, that tho Prosidout was in favor of the plan propos ed in tho Republican. Tho Radicals wcro atraid to touch tho question, and went homo to their several States aud blackguarded tbo President, and declared that bo was opposed to extending the right of su drago to the 1^ ?ck man. Andrew Johnson is in i"T__ of more for the black man in Tennossco, as a citizen of that Stato; ho suggested to Govornor Sharkey, of Mississippi, more for tho colored mon of that Stato, and re quested and authorized us to urgo upon Congress at tho last session, moro for tiro colored mon of this District than Charles Sumnor, or Henry Wil son, or any other Congressman of Massachusetts ever urged for the colored mon of their Stato. No colorod man who fought in the Union army, or who owns property, no matter how much, can vote in Massachusetts unless ho can road and write. President Johnson goes beyond that. He ia in fa vor of granting suffrago to all colored mon, whor ever tho Constitution gives him the power to do it, who can read and write, or who sorvod honorably in tho Union array, or who owns proporty to tho extent of two bundi ed and fifty dollar? and up wards. Tho only difforonco bolweon tho Prouidont and Congress is, that the former belioveB that, under tho Constitution, oach State has tho right to sottle tho question of suffrago for itself. Congress as sume? tho right t.) impose it upon the States, Constitution or no Constitution. A Negro Suffrage Bill Offered. In the Tennea. _ee Legislature-It ia Laid on iii- Table.

Queen Emma arrived at Honolulu on the steamer Vaiideibilt, October 22, niter a paBaago of nine day? from San Francisco.

From our lato European exchangos wo gather the following important items of opinions and news: KX?'LAVI?. tue nnrrrsH i_on-clax> fleet. Tho Times says the gonoral result of the lato ox porimoutal cruise of tuo British iron-clad squad ron-?b satisfactory. Tho tiquadron included niuo iron-clada, including all the varieties of the licet, and they successfully kept tho sea for a month during tho autumnal equinox, showing good weath erly qualities and high rates of speed; and it ia claimed Hint the vosaels represent a combination of merits not possessed by tbo iron-clad:? of any foreign State. THE ATLANTIC* AND PACIFIC ?AILWAY. A deputatiou on the subject of tho Atlantic and Pacifie A lilway through Nicaragua had wnitod on tho Primo Minister at tho Treasury. Lord Derby said that tho undertaking uppoarod to ho a most important international ono. Ho Btrongly advised the deputation to brinr tho matter at onco before the Foreign Omeo, and said that in tho moantimo ho would Dring it before hi? colleagues. A PKOJECT TO UEFOll-CE-S. Tho Star says rumor has it that tho Government aro arranging a brilliant plan for tao buffiiiig of Reformers in tho coming session, .?v reform schemo of sumo sort or otliov will, it is said, bo shaped and laid upon the tablo, tho Government gener ously offer'?*. ; tho House a full opportunity of con sidering it, by undertaking not to proceed with it until tho following session. FRANCE. THE nEOROANIZATION OF THE AlWtT. Tho Moniteur L'Arm?e mibliahoa an article upon the inforonces drawn by Paris journals rolativo to tho proposed reorganization of the army, and says the National Guard will never bo nnvthing bnt a reserve. Above all, it is necessary to have an army before the formation of a reserve. Tho effective strength of 400,000 men is a poaco establishment, and will not, therefore, bo reduced. Tho object of the Commission appointed to report on this ques tion will ho to discovor tho boat moans of constitu ting a resorve always available, more considera ble, and botter instructed and exercised than tho present. Such an institution will not per mit any reduction in tho war budget, but will, on the contrary, necessitate somo sacrifices indispen sable for tho honor and security of the country. FBBNCH S?MI-OFFICIAL VIEW OF THE AJAaOOVTlOX. {From the Journal des Debat? of Nov. 0.] Tho event of tbo day is tho Pontifical Allocution upon tho affairs of Italy, or rathor, tho affairs in tho wholo of Europe Since tho Encyclical and the Syllabus, the Court of Bomo has not pronounced words so dirof ully significant. Wo believe that this Allocution will rcceivo greater importance and will produce worse olfects than the documents above mentioned. The defenders of the Syllabus could say that it was a moro doctrinal-and tibs tract expo sition, which did not demand a rigorous and imme diate application to tho events of the present time, but such language is not applicable to-day. This lost Allocution is a summon- to Italy, and, in effect, to all the Catholic Powors. to put in practice tho principios of tho Syllabus-principles purely speculative. AUSTRIA. CCROULAR OF IlAItON VON BEDST. Tho > following circular has been addroBsed hy Baron Beiikt to tho agonts of the Austrian Gov ernment abroad: Vienna, Novomber 2, 1808_His Majesty the Emperor bos dosiguod to appoint mo his Minister of Foreign Affairs. Ponetratod by unbounded grut it odo for his signal mark of confidence, I have no other ambition tuan to render my/mlf worthy of it. and to devote my whole life to tho service of his MajoBty. Whilo desiring to profit by tho oxpo rionco I havo gained elsewhere. I consider myself, howover, soparatod from my political past from tho day on which, thanks to the will of his impo rial and apostolic Majesty, 1 became an Austrian, and I shall only preservo in my now position tho testimony of a deeply venerated sovoroign, whom I fool I havo served with zpal and fidelity. It would suposo in mo, especially at tho commonco mont of my now career, u st rango forgot fulness of my duties to believe mo capablo of bringing to thom preferences or resontments from which, in truth, I fool completely exempt. I beg you, Sir, not ia my interest, but in that of tho Emperor's service, to thoroughly understand this; and to make it understood In tho conversa tions you may havo on this subject. Tho Imperial Government -all tho efforts which must tend to removo tho traces of a disastrous wax-will remain faithful to that polioy of poaco and conciliation which it has always followed; while tho unfortu nato issue of a recent struggle renders this * ne cosily, it at the samo time imposes upon the Gov .v ernmont tbo duty of showing itaolf moro than ovor jealous of ita dignity. Tho imperial missions will, lam certain, causo it to bo respected under all circumstances, and thoy will find in mo a support which will nover fail thom. It remains for ino to cxinvaa to you tho satisfaction I oxporionco upon entering iuto regular relations with you, and to bog of you to bo kind onough to facilitate my du tioa by seconding tho offorts I shall mako in order to fulfill thom according to tbo intention? of our august mastor, and so that too much rogrot mnv not bo folt for a prodecossor ho juatly surroundod by tho c ;teom and cculldonco ol bia subordinates. ROME. THE STATE OF THE CHUBCH AND THE DANGERS THAT THBEATEN IT-WOttDS OF BION-Fl-ANCE FUOM THE rorE. Our lato foreign oxchangos contain tho full text of the rocont Allocution of tho Pope. It condonius tho wholo policy of tho Italiau Government in terms which cannot bo misunderstood. It coni plaina, in particular, of tho banishment of Bishops fiom thoir dioceses, of tho suppression of tbo rc bgious ordors, aud of tho introduction of civil marriage. It avoids tho namos of "King of Italy" or "Government of Italy," and ubos instead tho namos of "Sub-Alpiuo Government." This Allo cutiuu of Hiu Holiness, which ia nddros.od to tbo Clorgy of tho Catholic Church, thus i;o(a forth tbo main alleged grievances against the Italian Gov ernment: "You must comprehend with what griof wo aro aoiz.d now that wo seo that Govornniont, with a passion that is increasing every day, constantly attacking tho Catholic Church, its wholesome laws, and all its Bacrcd ministers ; when wo neo, aliiH, vonorablo bishops, and the moat virtuouii clorgy, both Booolnr and regular and other most excellent Catholic citizous sent into exile by that Govern ment, without tho least regard for relgion, juatico, j or humanity, or thrown into prison, oreondo-inod to forced residence, molested in the most unworthy mauiier ; dioc?ses deprived of their p atora, to tho great dotriinont of aouls ; virgins devoted to God taken away from thoir convents and reduced to bn.gary ; bod. tomplcs violated : diocesan schools ekt-Od against tho moinbors of tho clergy; tho education of Catholic youtbu taken out of tho palo of Christian disciplino and coulidcd to the profes sors of errors and iniquities, aud tho patrimony of the Church usurped and Bold. That .anio Govern ment, in contempt of ecclesiastical censure and without paying the least regard to our most just complaints, and those of our voncrablo brethren, the Iliahops of Italy, has sanctioned similar laws, totally contrary to tho Catholic Church, to its doc trines and ita rights, and condemned hy us ; and it has not hesitated to promulgato a law respecting civil marriage, as it is called -a law quite contrary not only to Catholic doctrino, but likewise to tho well-boing of civil society. I"Suoh a law traraplos under foot tho dignity and Bacrodnosa of marriage. It doatrova it as an institution and encourages a concubinato thal ia porfectly scandalous. lu fact, a marriage cannot take place among tho faithful without thoro boing at tbo samo timo a sacrament. It belongs, there fore, oxcluBivcly to the Church to decido on every thing concerning the sacrament of marriago. More over, that Government-injuring in au evidout manner tbo condition of those who mako pubhc Ero.esijioti of religious vows, which have always ad, and always will havo, force in God'a Church, and not recognizing tho verj _____ advantago of tho regular oidora which, fouuded by mon of lioli _ol_, and npprovod by tho Holy Apo.tolic Soo, havo in an especial manner deaorved tho thanks of tho Christiran i .public, civil and litorary, by so many glorious labors and so many useful works-has not fenrod to ti am; I ?on ? law suppressing througltout ita ontiio territory all roligious corporations of both aoxes; it has appropriated all their property and n great deal of other property belonging to tho Church, nnd has ordorcd it to bo divided. "lloforo cntoring iuto possession of the Venetian province it did not hesitate to extend thoroto to tlio Hirao laws, and it enjoined, contrary to all law and justice, the total abrogation and annihilation ol' tho convention which was como to between na and our vory door Bon in Jesus 'Christ, l-'rancis Joseph, Emperor of Austria. Thorcforo, faithful to tho very sorioua duty of our apostolic mini-try, wo raise anew in your most august a Bonibly our voice on behalf of roligion, of tho church, of its holy laws, the rights belonging to the authority of this chair of St. Petor; and with all our atrciigtb wo doploro und condemn all and each of the things which, contrary to tho church, ita laws, and its rights, have been decreed, done, aud attempted by tho Bub-Alpino Government, and by all other Bubordincto authorities; and by our apostolic au thority wo abrogate and proclaim null and void, and without force or effect, all tho aforosaid do croos and everything that appertains to thom." The allocution goes on to dofond tho rights of tho church; to show that His Holiness baa always horotoforo exerted his boat onorgioa in behalf of tho wolfaro of tho people of Italy, and finally to declare that tho Pope cannot ronounco the civil powers conferred on bim for tbo good of tho church, but on tho contrary must and ia bound to dofend thom. Tho church, it saya, will novor bo ovorpoworod, but ono particular nation may loso tho truo faith. In conclusion it adjures the sov oroigna to prevent with all their stroiigtb "the toroli of faith from being extinguished among thom." ITAi.Y, SPEECH OF VIOTOn EMMANUEL TO THE VENETIA- DE POTATION. Upon receiving tho roault of tho Plcbisciturn from tho Venetian deputation on tho 4th instant, King Victor Emmanuol mado tho following roply : "This day is the proudest of my lifo; eighteen years ago my father proclaimed from this city the war of independence, and to-day you bring to mo tho manifestations of the popular will in tho Vene tian provinces, which, muted with Italy, dcoloro my father's wish to bo accomplished. You confirm by this act what Venetia did up to 1818, and baa maintained up to tho present day with admirable constancy and abnegations I, theroforo, pay a grntcful tributo to thoso generoua patriots who up held thoir faith in tho destinies of tho country by ovory kind of sacrifico and by thoir blood. To-day forofgn domination ooases forever. Italy ?b con stituted, if not yet completo. Italians must now defend and malto her great. Tho Iron Crown ia alflo restored to Italy, but to that Crown I profer the one which is dearer to mo, mado by tho lovo of my pooplo." SPAIN. SPAIN'S OFFEB TO THE POPE. [Paris [Nov. 3) Correspondence of the London Times.] I am assured that tho offer really mado by Queen Isabella to the Popo, in tho o von t or his being forced to quit Homo, ia not tbo placing under his tem poral sovereignty a province of Spaiu, which abo has no power to aliouato, but simply a rosidonco in tho City of Granada; and that tho Spanish \ easels ntOivita Vocchia are piucod at his disposal hi coao of auch emergency. It would bo curious to see tho ancient capital of tho last Moorish k?igdoni in Spain become tho seat of Papacy. t-CANDIlVAVIA. A ro_rn___. and _n_rr"nY a-lian.e between the TWO SCANDINAVIAN KINODOM3 PBOPOSED. It is woll known that tho fifth articlo of the treaty of Praguo provides for tho retrocession of North Schloswig to Denmark, if tho pocplo of that district ahould frooly expresa thoir wish to that effect. _s Prussia ahowa no inclination to fulfill this anido of tho treaty of peace, there is some anxiety manifested not only in Denmark, but also in Bwodon. Tho Dagbladct, of Copenhagen, Bays about it: Tho prompt and satisfactory solution of this af fair is for Denmark a vital ques ion. It not only involves tho liberation of threo hundred thousand Danes, but also tho applicat.on of tho principio o' nationality. Wo raiso our volco that it bo beard bv other nations, who in tho namo of justice und of tboir sympathies, claim that separation should bo accorded to Denmark, but who ignoie what is trannpiring. Referring to this samo subjoct, tho official papor at Stockholm, Swodon, tho Aftonbiadet, says: "Tho nolution of tho Scandinavian question can only bo this: Retrocession hy Prussia to Denmark of North Schloawig; political and military confede ration of tho thrco Northern Kingdoms (Sweden, Norway and Denmark), that is, a common system of foreign olicy and home dofenco, with tho main tononco of t io existing dynasties. And, finally, a good undorp'auding with North Gormony to tho ond of reciprocal protection against Russia." MEXICO. THE PniNOESB CHARLOTTE-MORIS SATISFACTORY AC COUNTS OF II Eil HEALTH-JIER COMPLETE RECOVER! FROll.UJLE. {From the Memorial Diplomatique, Nor. 2.) Wo rocoivo directly from Miramar sati.?factory nows as to tho stato of the Empress Charlotte. Thanks to tho intelligent and assiduous caro with which Her Majesty is surrounded, and to tho ab soluto reposo silo enjoys in that charming retreat, tho moral oxcitoment which bad disturbed the Em press' mind is completely appeased. Tbo improve ment which at first appeared hut slow, now as eumcB nil tho Bymploms of a radical cure. At half a gunshot from tho Chateau of Mirarar stands a small pavilion, built in tho Italian stylo of the Middlo Ages, and covered with verdure, which is cnllod tho Gardonor's House. Before leaving for Mexico the Archduke Maximilian and tho Princess dwolt there in preference, in order to escapo tho irkBomencss of etiquotto. Tho Empress has again installed borsolf there, and in tho midst of the pleas ant reminiscences which surround lier, occupies hor leisure with reading, music and painting. The medical attendants insist that her Majesty shall not leavo Europo during tho winter. The proba bility is that when the weather becomes moro rigorous tho Empress will go to the Islo of La croma, which is her personal proporty, and which enjoys tho mildest tomporaturu ol Naples. MAXIMILIAN. HE IS RESOLVED NOT TO LEAVE MEXICO. [Paris {Nor. 2) Correspomicncc of the Londvit Times.] It is reported in the Opinion that a message has hcon received iroiu the Emperor Maximilian in an swor to the news o? tho Empress' illness. After oxprossing bis deop sorrow tor her malady, and approving all that has boon done, he adds that, be ing resolved at every sacrifice to surmount, if pos sible, his had fortuno, ho will not leave tho post which duty assigns him. If he _d_,crc_ to this de termination, bo entirely contrary to tho wishes of his early patron, and to the instructions givou to Gon. Ca'steluau, tho position will bo strangely com plicated, for one would think that tho French troops cannot in honor bo withdrawn without a positivo assurance of nou-iutorvoution on tho part of tho United States, aud tho plo:v of putting an oud to anarchy in Mexico may thus only- have resulted in Betting up a now olomont of division. Mournfal Conilttioni ni" Hu Grand Oltl City of Venice. The Boston Post's correspondent at Vonicc says of that sad and superb old city, just now illumina ted with tho joy of deliverance from tho hated Austrians : Tho majority of tho citizens appoar to regard their Union with Italy equal to tho retain of tlieir old power and wealth in the days of tho Doges, and tboir capturo of Constantinople It is not remarkable that they should thus yield to tho ox citement of tho moment. In fact, their utter dos fiair horotoforo and their present misery, would ead thom to conjuro up any sort of happy dream for tho uturo under the r changed circumstances. Whatever might happen under tho old dominion by which thoy should bo delivered from theil* op pressors, must no?owar".- no. n improvement, and now thoy naturally hopo for tho beut. Her condi tion to-day is distressing; it is heartrending to contemplate. Her port is deserted ; hor palacos aro empty ; her pooplo aro sick<-nnd would die of starvation wore thoy not fed by tho authorities. The shipping that, ovon within a few years, crowd ed hor harbor, has beon driven bv Austrian dos potism to Triesto. until not a single steamor fre quonts it. Tbo grand old marble palaces that lino the grand canal, where once lived the Falicris and tho Dorias in regal spleudor, are now tonantless, at least except by bats, and spi ders, and owls, and decay must ero long crumble thom to pieces. Handrad- arc daily oupp'icd with bread and soup al the public hospitals ?aid store houses. They como there and wait for hours, and a sad sight they aro. Gaunt and wrinkled, worn by sickness and scanty faro for mouths, thoy take tnoir portions with thanks and depart. They sug gest to every ono a troop of spectres from thoir graves, and as they bear hack their palo facos and ragged drapery to tho dark holes from whence thoy came, ono ca i not help shuddering. Tho Str.r uf Vonico has sot forever, and nothing can bring it again abovo tho horizon. Her prosperity belongil to another ago and raco. The glory ol'tho past may gild hor prosont aspect, hut wiil no moro warm it into life. Tho brains of hor citizoua al ready teem with now projocts of grandeur. Two banks, a steamboat company, and various other corporations ure about to bo incorporated, and overy effort is making to infuso new vitality in to the withered memory of tho past. But it cor t.iinly scorns all in vain. Whore is hor commorco to como from? Trio*,tu i? thriving on hor life blood, and cr.i now atlord to dospiso nor once pow erful rho!. Hor old trado has left hor, and what manufactures could now bo established with any prospect of success V Tho most Venice can hope for is a comfortable old age as a provincial town. -???>.? ....
