TBY ATLANTIC CABLE.] P.VBIS, Apiil 12.-The effect of tho new army bill and other extraordinary war measures re? cently taken by the government, has been to create a great deal of uneasiness throughout France, and particularly in the rural districts. The murmurings of discontent had become so loud and unmistakable that the semi-official press of the nation found it necessary to dis? pel the uneasiness. These newspapers pro? nounce this apparently vast preparation.for war the best pledge of peace. The Moniteur to-day publishes an official report made to the Emperor by Minister Pinard, in which an account is given of the military chances wbich have been made since the bill for the reorganization of the army has pone into operation, and of the effect which they have had upon the country. The minis ? ter states that ail the reforms introduced in the Garde Mobile, in accordance with the pro? visions of that bill, are now completed; and he asserts that these changes have been received with popular applause almost everywhere throughout the Empire. He contradicts the reports of dissatisfaction, and declares that the new army law is sustained and defended by the patriotism of the French people, who thus give a new proof of their confidence in the Emperor.

Stanbery has the pleurisy; the weather is in? clement, and Stanbery's physicians forbid any exposure. The House went in a body to the Impeach? ment Court. The Speaker reserved the right, should the session of the court be brief, to make a regular call. THE SENATE resumed the consideration of unlimited speeches, but postponed the matter indefinitely. A motion that the court must hereafter meet at ll A. M., was defeated by a vote of 21 to 26. In the absence of Stanbery, the defence proceeded with documentary evi? dence, without asking adjournment. Stevens made & statement to the effect that the Senate was determined not to hear the im? peachers fully, and gave notice that he would move for night sessions in the House, to allow the managers and others to make their speeches. The Senate ordered certain reports of ses sions, and proceeded to the consideration of the impeachment and deficiency appropria? tions. Pending this discussion, a forty thou sand dollar deficiency was announced in For? ney's account. Cameron intimated that For? ney's clerk was wrongly charged. The President's counsel had it pretty much their own way this afternoon. The impeachers show palpable signs of discouragement. The trial was continued. Chase ruled out the President's Message of the 21th February. The managers objected to it on general utrrounds, but Chase rejected it on the ground that the Senate resolutions did not require it; therefore it was not part of the regular pro? ceedings. The President's messago nominating Ewing was admitted. Au immense mass of documentary evidence was admitted under continued objections from Butler.

Io the House of Commons, on the evening of Monday, M ireh 30, the great debate on the Irish Church commenced, attraoting an audi? ence -which in its numbers, and the eager in? terest with which it followed every incident and argument, was not surpassed by any of the most memorable nights of the two reform ses? sions. The House was densely crowded, both on the floor and in the galleries, while tho peers and distinguished strangers not only filled the boxes assigned to them, but overflowed into the corridors and passages. The debute was opened by the clerk at the table reading (on Mr. Gladstone's motion) the acts, or rather, the titles of the acts, relating to the Establish? ed Church in Ireland. Colonel S. Knox then moved that the fifth article of the act of union be read, and, after this had been done, Mr. H. E. Surtees called on the clerk to read the coro? nation oath. . The oath was read at length, both sidc-3 cheering alternately the passages which seemed to favor their especial views. Mr. Gladstone then rose, loudly cheered by the Opposition, to move that the House now resolve itself into committee to consider these acts. He began by a happy reference to the motions just made, accepting them as a sign that Ecme members at least would meet his motion by a proposition equally broad and in? telligible as his own, and that the solemn con? troversy on which the House was entering would he conducted without "trick or contri? vance." This phrase elicited loud cheers and counter cheers from both sides, but Mr-. Glad? stone made haste to except Lord Stanley's amendment from this category, by admitting that it was au amendment entirely within his discretion, and fairly raising tho merits of the case. His general object, Mr. Gladstone went on to explain, was to commit tho House to the opinion that the Irish Cburcli as an establish? ment should cease to exist, and though he did not hold it to be his duty to undertake re? sponsibility for the detail of any plan, he did not object to indicate the general bases of a settlement. The cessation of the Irish Church as au establishment mast be accompanied by the condition that every proprietary right and everv vested interest should receive the amplest consideration and satisfaction; and more than that, everything which could be considered a matter of feeling must be treat? ed with conciliation, and every doubtful claim even must bo handled in a spirit of equity. The chief thing to be renounced was the maintenance in Ireland of a clergy salaried by the State. Among the claimants for compensation he enumerated not only . the holders of benefices, but those who had devoted themselves to the clerical profession iu expectation of succeeding to these benefices: i the private holders of advowsons (who owned i about one-sixth of the church patronage of ; Ireland) ; and be added ihat recent endowments ? must also be respected. The result of all these exceptions, Mr. Gladstone calculated, would be i that what ho described as the "Anglican com- i munitv" would remain in possession of from i three-fifths to two-thirds of tho present money 1 value of the church endowments, and the resi- i due, he insisted, must be treated as an Irish j fund, to be used solely for the benefit of the i Irish people. The other religious bodies who ] are subsidized by the State must be treated on < exactly the same principles, so as to put an < end to all grants from the Consolidated Fund . for the support of any religious denomination i in Ireland. Mr. Gladstone next defended the Liberal parry and himself from the charge of < not having dealt with this question before; and, < in answer to the sarcasm of "sudden aposta- 4 cy" aimed at himself, he mentioned that tweu- 1 ty-five years ago, in a letter relating to an eloc- j tioneering contest, he bad declined to pledge < himself to maintain tbi .rish Church on prin- c ciple, and he attributed his defeat at Oxford to ] the views he had expressed m 1865. Dealing 1 with the arguments against the abolition of 1 the Irish Church, he dilated at great length on 1 the objection that it would endanger the Es tab- : lished Church iu England, and insisted that t she would, on the contrary, be greatly strength- 1 ened by being relieved of this political and ? social injustice. He showed, too, in an elah- c orate historical and statistical argument, r that though the penal laws had been success- 1 ful in keeping down the number of Roman 1 Catholics, when we had begun to relax them t the proportion between the two bodies had c rapidly altered in favor of the Roman Catholics, J and the experiment ot a Stato church, there- c fore, had entirely foiled to propagate Frotes- t tautism. Passing to his second and third res- f olutions, Mr. Gladstone said that their object ? was to arrest the creation of new vested rights, t so that the new constituencies might be more t free in finally deciding on the question, and he i acknowledged that legislation would be ncces- c Bary to carry out tho resolutions. On this e point Mr. Gladstone repudiated, in tho strong- & est language, the intention of merely projecting t into air an "abstract resolution"-a mode of e procedure which, he said, had always been mis- t chievous, aud for which he never had and never ( willingly would bo responsible. Criticizing ^ Lord Stanley's amendment, he argued that it t would convoy no consolation to the irish popu- ( ration, that it indicated a desire to agitate the t question (which he himseir had carefully cs- I chewed, having patiently waited until the hour c had come), aud that it showed very little re- i spect for the new Parliament, inasmuch as it c declined to remove out of its way considera- i tions which must embarrass it in dealing prac- ? tically with the question. Dealing next with j ?T3 argument that this concession would not 5 pacify thc Roman Catholics, Mr. Gladstone en- t tered into an historical retrospect to show that a all our concessions lo Ireland had been the a effect of apprehension; and after exanrimng > the character, tho circumstances and thc causes j of the present crisis, he concluded hi an elo- 1 quent peroration by exhorting tho House to c assist in building up, "by the cement of human \ concord, the noble fabric of the British Em- 1 pire." ] Lord Stanloy moved as an amendment, "That s this house, while admitting that considerable e modifications in tho temporalities of tho Unit- t ed Church in Ireland may, after the pending g inquiry, appear to be expedient, is of opiuiou T that any proposition tending to tho disestab- a lishmeut or diseudowment of that church i ought to be reserved for the decision of a new v Parliament. He commenced by echoing Mr. c Gladstone's condemnation of a resort to trick- t ery, more particularly as he foresaw that great s eflort8 would be made to put tho question on a t false issue. Mr. Gladstone's resolutions- c though his speech said much-said nothing t about disendowment, and he objected to them, 1 first of all, becauso thev were too general, r shadowed out no practical plan, and might be f construed in any sense. Tho^e who meant by t disestablishment the release of the church a from State control might accept thc r?solu- v tions with the reservation that thoy u should retain the endowment. The reso- v lutions avoided aU the real difiicullies 1 of the case, and gave no inlding of the t manner in which the process of disestablish- f ment was to be effected. But thc real question, j Lord Stanley said, was not wheiher any- t thing should be done, but what was the partie- a ular thing to be done. "Sot one educated man 1 out of a hundred ("and I,'' Lord Stanley said, t "am not thc one") would maintain that the ec- f clesiastical establishment of Ireland was all i that it should be, or that there were no sean- c dals in it: but those who called for a disturb- s ance of the existing stile of things were under j au obligation to indicate some practical solu- c lion. Lord Stanley discussed next the immer- t ous plans suggested for the disposal of the r property of the Irish Church, remarking that t at present public opinion could uot see its wav T to the practicability ot any one of them; and bb 1 maintained that Mr. (Uadstone's resolutions 1 merely came to this-that something must be done without Baying what it was. Even if t the resolutions were carried, what was to be 1 done then'/ There could be no legislation this 1 year except that rc-qirired to carrv out the two t last resolutions, which was uo^logislatioc at i all. They nught pledge this Parliament, which 1 must come to un end almost ?iumcdiatcl-. Lut t they could not pledge the new couslit'ucn- i cies, who must, as a matter of course, take :iy 1 this question first of alL Rcitcraftug his o? jeen: us to the impractical character o: tho ; r resolutions -m?. thc impassibility of taking < s action on them now, or ul pledging ibo lV.rlia- ! 1 ment or the future, Lord Stanley deprecated . t this particular mode of raising the question- : 1 so sudden as the present, which would n wait for the necessary business of the sessic to be completed, but "called for a resolution which no practical effect could avowedly 1 given, and about the details of which its su poners would inevitably disagree themoniei they began to carry them out. As to this beir a message of peace to Ireland, would it be ; received in the North ? On the contrary, would produce bitterness and animosity, ai he denied that it would conciliate the Roms Catholic peasantry, who regarded as of greata importance the land and tbe education que dons. Lord Stanley concluded by dercndic his amendment, the meaning of which was thi the work of the session was sufficient for tl session. Whenever action was necessary, tl government would not be unprepared for i but now action was impossible, and the go' eminent objected to pledging in any way tl judgment of the next Parliament. On Tuesday evening the debate was ri newed. We present below an abstract of th speeches: Hr. Secretary Hardy, who began by romcrl ing that the question had been treated by th speakers in support of Hr. Gladstone's resole lions not merely as one that affected th church in Ireland, but the ministry. It waf therefore, au attack at once upon the churc and upon the government. But this was no all; for ministers had to meet attack both o: their front and on their flank. He did not mean to say that the Reform ac of last year was all he could wish; but when was the man who, sitting in a public assembly had not been obliged in some respects to com promise his opinions, and to Rive way to thost with whom he was associated in order tba they might act in unity together ? That wai all lie himself had done. He had sacrificed nt principle, and tbe whole question of refont had been brought before the house as one o degree and not of principle. They were callee upon, be said, at a special and peculiar mo? ment, to go into committee on a matter of tnt greatest importance, and whicb could be set? tled neither in the present nor tho next Parlia? ment, nor probably for many years to come, aud ihis bad been, met by an amend? ment of his noble* friend (Lord Stanley), which laid down tbat, pending inquiry, any proposition that tended to disestablishment or disendowraent ought to be reserved for the decision of a new Parliament. Tho question was one cf time, of occasion, and of opportuni? ty, and it would have been an absurdity on the part of the coveminent to have assented to the appointment of a royal commision, had tLey not been prepared to endeavor to amelio? rate the state of things reported upon by the commissioners. The ground which he "took then was this-that at an advanced period of the session, with little progress made in supply, with the settlement on the Reform question for Scotland aud Ireland still remain? ing open, and with the necessity of calling for a dissolution of the present Parliament as early as possible, ministers had a right to say that that was not the time for coming forward with an abstract resolution-for the first was distinctly and solely an abstract resolution-re? specting which they could not pledge the new Parliament, and which Mr. Gladstone himself idmitted could not be carried into effect by legislation in the present Parliament. In short, the question had been suddenly started upon the country, and taken people by surprise; and if it had not been afforded by the recent debate on the state of Ireland, Tere these resolutions not produced, so that ihe House might have had. time to consider them and approach their discussion at an car? ier period, lt was admitted that the scheme of Mr. Gladstone could not be carried into street for thirty years; yet it was now made a inestiou of ho?r?, though it avoided the diffi sulties of the subject, and brought before tbs House only those parts of it ou which they jould get a united opinion, whereas if it went on to a full development of the plan of tbe right honorable gentleman they would have split asunder into a score of fragments. Had tue government met the resolutions with a lirect negative, which, so far as he was con ;erncd, he was quite prepared to do, it would lave been said, "You object even to entering upon an inquiry or going into committee, ana ire no: reaoy lo admit that any reformation is iece8sary in fhe church;" whereas, by the imendment, ministers declared that if it were shown by the report of the commission that .eforniation was necessary, they would be pre? pared to act ou that report. But the abolition >f the Irish Church establishment would be a iractical wrong, and it was not for ministers o throw overboard those with whom they lad united by tho ties of religion and )lood, of treaty and compact, for the purpose ?f reconciling thoso who were hostile to them. L'he preservation of vested rights was spoken if, but this was a question that concerned not limply the clergy but the laity, and how were hey to be compensated for their vested int?r? ?ts ? One argument in favor of the resolu ion8 was, that if carried they would tend to rauquilize Ireland; but this was not thc ophi? on entertained by influential agitators in that !Ountry, for they proclaimed that nothing ihort of tho repeal of tho union would give ?atisfaction. Then came tbe question rela ivo to which Mr. Gladstone had offered no ixplanation whatever-name'}*, was it meant o secularize the rovenues of the Established Church, and what were the purposes to vhich they were to bo applied? Were there 0 bo parsonages for Presbyterians, Roman Catholics, and other denominations as well is Episcopalians ? Why, so tar from that ?oiug likely to produce co?tent, it was more lalculated to give dissatisfaction, for accord ng to a pamphlet written by a Roman Catii ilic member of the House, it appeared that f the parBonage.houses were left in the posr ?essiou of tho Protestant clergy it would iroduce nothing but discontent and irritation. Chat surely must bo a doubtful prospect for he right honorable gentleman to contemplate is the result of adopting his proposals. Alter ill, then, the main question of principle was vhat was to bo done with the funds if secular zed; aud iu the absence of ?in answer to that io bad a rinht to say that both on the question >f time and of principle it was not enough to ?ote on one part of the subject without having in idea as to what the other portion was tu be. 1 seemed ty him, indeed, that they had now irrived at this point-that the nuscttlement of | iverything was clear, aud that the settlement . >f nothing was alco clear, li he saw that the , lacrifice of the Irish Church establishment vould secure harmony between various classes md creeds in Leland, and tbat justice and the , nterosts of the empire required it, he for one [ vould at loast go out of his way and let others ' larry measures which he felt would be for 1 he general benefit; but not feeling this, and J lifting where he now did, advocating the )rinciples whicb he had advocated when ; m the other side of the house, he declared ? hat the stab should not, be given by his land, and that it should not bc by those, the | uinisterial benches, thc change should be ef? fected. The government had been challenged . o state what thov were prepared lu do. His inswer was that, rf in spite uf the objection J vhich they took on tho ground of time, the j imendmeiit was overthrown, then their coiuse j vas clear, and thc resolutions themselves would 1 >o opposed. Next, if they were asktd what J hey would do, not in the present but iu a lu- c ure Parliament, he replied tbat they would ' rive no pkdi:c other than this, that they would yet in accordance with thc former part of the imendment of Lord Stauicy, and it it bbou d i ippear by the report of the commissioners , hat reformation changes were required for * he beue?L of thc Lish Establishment and for 1 ts security, they would make them. If, how !Ver, they* were asked togo further, he would s ?av, at least for himself, that be would no:, be < \ party to measures for the disestablishment j I >f the Irish Church, rle was nut prepared io t separate England froni Ireland in religious e natters, and would never consent to bc a party c o severing that onion of Church ami State, I rhose glorious work it had been to uphold the 1 ight ut tbe Reformation iu the midst u: Ire- t and. : The Attornoy-General for Ireland defended v he niaiuienauee of tlie u'tturuli Establishment, c ind its right to tlio preservation ot' its endow- ? neufs.

Therefore univ ; ?;o j r. pretences on which the Church Establishment could be maintained iu Ireland: one was re? ligious, and tho other political. As a religions institution, the Irish Church < had been deplorable, and almost ridiculous aa an encino for converting the Catholic population. It had not only not oiade Catholics into Protestants, but it 'had 'nade Roman Catholics in Ireland more intensely Roman than the members of that church wero found to bo in almost any other couutry in Europe. Further, it had made it absolutely impossible for anybody else or any other church to convert them. It was one of the great calamities of the world that in many centuries there were millions of Catholics who were liable to be directed in much of their conduct, and ofttimes in their political conduct, through their bishops aud elerey from the centre of the City of Rome. That'was a misfortune to the cause of freedom. It was nore; it was a misfortune to every Cath? olic Church in every country, for it "tended rather to prevent it from being wholly na? tional, and to prevent, also, such changes end such reformations as were necessary in the prioress of every church. To the influence of Rome, however, tho Romau Catholic population of Ireland were moro sub? jected than almost any other people, and he held that it wa? for theirinterest and for thc in? terest of the empire, whatever might bc the tie between the Irish people and the govern? ment at Rome, that every obstacle should bo taken away that would lessen in the smallest degree the loyalty of tho people to the impe? rial crown. Having failed as a religious insti? tution, how stood the church as a political in? stitution ? It had been established not only to convert the Catholics, but to secure the iinioo. We had been defending it by thc sword, und if ever the story of the transactions Df the British Parliament with Ireland, its dif? ferent engagements, coercive aud restricti? ve, came to be written, it would form a narra :ive that must astonish the world and Greatly L'scrc-dit us. There waa anarchy in Ireland, md it had to be subdued by force; and after renturies of rule we had ?rot no farther than his-that we had not reconciled Ireland: that ve had not done some thines which all tho vorld said we ought to have done; and that wo vere now discussing the question whether it ns possible, by any change with regard to thc Sstablisbed Church, to briug about a better eeling between tho Irish people and the Im jenal Government. He feared there had >een very little statesmanship and very nuch neglect ; aud that we ought to ake shani 3 to ourselves, and try to :et rid of some of our antiquated preju Iices in this matter; to look at it as men of euse who saw it from a distance, and whose ision was not impaired by the passionate con lition of things, which m this country liad so iften prevailed. Let not the House supppose hat he was one of those who wished to dis odire ministers from their seats on the trcasu y b;nch, iu order that he might take a place ihich was now occupied by one of themselves, ie would treat the subject as one far beyond nd above party differences. Let them not, hen, be alarmed at what was proposed. Let hem take the Irish Church not with a rude, ut a resolute grasp. And if they adopted tho olicv now recommended they would pluck up weed which polluted the air, and they would save c free Protestant Church, which would e hereafter au ornament and a grace to all ho might be brought within thc range ot its lfluence. Leeland was waiting aud longing Dr a great act of conciliation, and Eugland nd Scotland were eager to make atonement jr past crimes and past errors. And it de ended upou the House of Commons and the ruperial Parliament whether that reconciha on should take place, and whether that atone lent should at length bo mr.de.

The clerk, still reluctant to perform ?so dis greeable a duty, requested a copy of General kacy's letter ind a litt le time to cons alt his gal friends. Captain Hilderbrandt politely implied, and furnished him a copy of the cor ?spoedence. At the request of the clerk, six gentlemen of ie legal profession in Greensboro' met and con? fered the case. It is unnecessary to state hat was said about tho constitutionality or ^constitutionality ot the liws of the United tates (Civil Rights Bill) leferrcd to by Gene il Canby. They were unanimous in the pinion that the Federal law is paramount un 1 it shall be repealed or pronounced uncon? ditional by tua Supreme Court of the United tates-consequently, that the clerk had no prion but to be governed in hie official con uct by this paramount law, and the inter? relation given by the military commander. Such is*a plain, dispassionate statement of fis matrer. Three or four instances have nee occurred of marriages between negroes nd whites in this county.

THE DEFENCE OF TEX PBESIDENT.-A Was"! ington telegram dated Sunday night, to the Baltimore Sun, says: The President's couaael have been in consul? tation to-night to determine what shall be the order of the further to jtimony to be introduced in tho impeachment trial, in view of the rul? ings of tho Senate yesterday upon the ques? tions put to General Sherman. It is generally the impression amor.g tho Radicals tnat th? portions of evidenco ruled out are of such vital consequence to the defence that these rejections will materially weaken the case on the part of tho President. Such is not tho view entertained by his counsel, for already they have made the Droof direct and unquali? fied* by General Thomas that the President gave no instructions or orders to use force in attempting to get possession of the War De? partment. The further testimony of General Sherman would be but cumulative* and corrob? orative on this point, and would go far to dis? close the animus of the Executive in all he did and proposed to do relative to the removal of Mr. Stanton and tho formation of the new division of thc Atlantic. The theory of the defence is that the prose? cution has failed to make a case of high crimes and misdemeanors, or any other case contemplated by the constitution, and that the counsel could, with legal propriety, have moved the dismissal of the prosecution instan? ter when the managers rested their case, but the facts and evidenco to sustain tho converse of every allegation inado by the managers of the House, wnether in the'ir articles of im feachment or speeches, were deemed by tho resident's counsel so ample that they consid? ered it but just to I he defendant, and due to the truth of history, that they should proceed with the testimony, a ad get before the Senate and the people all matters pertinent to the issue. It is undersl ood that tho President's counsel will not mahe further efforts to get General Sherman's statement of occurrences so far as they aro witt in his knowledge. MRS. LINCOLN'S BOOK-EXPOSTJBES OF RADI? CAL RASCALITT_It s jems that Mrs. Lincolns "Book," in spite of ill the .efforts to keep it back, is nearly read j for the press, and will soon make its appet rance. The politicians, office holders, and shoddy contractors who owe their places and fortunes to her influence, and who turned their booka upon her when her troubles carno,'may look out for squalls. Tho Louisville Journal say s: An Illinois editor ins been permitted to look through some ol its pages, teeming with all that is rich and rare in Radical rule and rascality. Hundreds of prominent members of the Radical party ire painted in colors that will make them still more prominent, but. if possible, far less respectable. The Illinois edi? tor gives us an inkling of what is to come. Ho refers especially to tin case of John A. Logan. In connection with this fresh-blown statesman. Mrs. Lincoln records tho history of a diamond ring-a splendid solitaire. When Logan pre? sented it to her ho ga re her to understand that it cost him several hundred dollars. Remem? bering how few ther 3 were of Logan's friends with whom his wore was as good as his well endorsed bond, she sent the rmg to a New York jeweller with a request that he would tell her tho value of it. As she anticipated, the ring turned out to be worthless-or very near? ly so, the jeweller placing its value at eighteen dollars-and it was returned to Logan with a message which he probably remembers. From this littlo incident wo may form some idea of the quality of Mrs. Lincoln's book. It is to be hoped that she will not suffer herself to bo deterred from publis liing it. The public will readily take a hunded thousand copies, and from its sale she will realize quite as much as her cast off finery woijd have brought her.
