FILES HIS CREDENTIALS IMPORTANT EVIDENCE IN THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL-ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S COUNSEL ON THE STAND-BUTLER "CLEARS HIS SEIBT8" HE MALES A HARANGUE AND EXHIBITS A THREATENING LETTER, BUT SATS HE ISN'T SCARED. WASHINGTON, April 16.-IN THE HOUSE to? day the Speaker announced that after the re? turn of the House from the impeachment trial business would be resumed. Mr. Evarts reported in the High Court that Mr. Stanbery was better, but that the inclement weather had prevented his attendance. The investigation of General Thomas' arrest was then resumed. James Hmd6, claiming to represent the Little Rock District, ArKansas, filed his cre? dentials to-day. It is understood that the Committee on Com? merce will report favorably on the bill for the improvement of Western rivers and harbors. General Sheimau remains here until Satur? day. Reveune tc-day $293,000. lu the impeachment trial Sumner moved that al! evidence not trivial be admitted, which was tabled by a vote of thirty-three to eleven. The following were the nays: Anthony, Fow? ler, Grimes, Morton, Patterson, of Tennessee; Sheimau, Turner, Yan Winkle, Yickers, Willey. Waiter S. Cox, Esq., the President's counsel m the Thomas case, was called. Mr. Curtis asked when, how, by whom and under what circumstances he was employed. Butler ob? jected. Judge Chase ruled the answer admis? sible. Cox said he went to the President's house at 5 o'clock P. M., February 22. The President and Gen. Thomas were present. The former said- Butler here interupted. Sena ator Edmuuds a6ked counsel what they de? sired to prove. Evana replied that the Presi? dent employed Cox to take such steps in the Thomas case as would bring Stanton before a judicial tribunal. Butler objected and a long controversy ensued. Chief Justice Chase de? cided that the evidence was admissible under the Senate's previous ruling. Drake appealed, but Chase was sustained by a vote of 29 to 21. Cox resumed : The President directed the witness to institute proceedings to have the constitutionality of the Tenure-of-office act tested; directed;witness to consult the Attor? ney-General, who was too busy to give the matter his personal attention. Under instruc? tions, he applied for a writ of habeas corpus, which was defeated by the discharge of Thomas. He then instituted preliminary proceedings under QUO icarranto. R. F. Merrick, Esq., General Thomas' coun? sel, then iestified.that he received some in? structions from the President and Mr. Stan? bery, and gave a detailed account of the pro? ceedings in Thomas'case, showing himself and C^x were defeated in bringing the question be? fore the Supreme Court. Butler interrupted Merrick to say that he wished to clear his skirts. All this matter was being introduced, in the face of the objections of the managers, under the ruling of the Chief Justice. Mr. Chase rose and said: "It goes on by a decision of the Senate of the United States." E. O. Perrin said he calle i on the President on the afternoon of February 21, with Mr. Selyea, a representative, and was proceeding with his narrative when Butler again inter? rupted. Mr. Evarts stated that he desired to prove by this witness that the President had mentioned that he had removed Stanton and appointed Thomas temporarily, as he intended to send a good name to the Senate. This was at once ruled out by a largo majority, among which was Reverdy Johnson. The counsel announced that they had fin? ished the work prepared for to-day. Butler made a harangue against delay, saying that during this delay Union men were murdered daily throughout tho South. Treasury officers were selling poid below, and buying bonds above the market, thereby putting mouey in their pockets, and characterized this as the last act of the war in which thousands were killed, and remonstrated against delay in this last act on account of the sickness of an attorney. Butler exhibited a note which he had received, telling him that the avenger was abroad. He denied being scared, and quoted a Scotch proverb that "a threatened dog was safe." A motion to commence court hereafter at eleven o'clock A. M. was postponed, and the coori- adjourned. I Public Meeting. HoxTGoaiEB", ALA., April 16.-A large and enthusiastic meeting was held last night at the theatre, to hear the address of Colonel S. C. Reid, of Louisiana, on the vestoration of Southern agriculture and commerce. Resolutions were passed, tendering him the cordial thanks of citizens, and authorizing the call of a convention of planters in December nest. A resolution was also adopted, appointing a committee to raise means for the relief of Lieut. J. C. Braine, formerly of the Confederate Navy, and to secure him an impartial trial. Gov. Patton has written a letter to General Heade setting forth, among other things, the wrong of forchog a defeated constitution upon Alabama, and showing that in many instances persons elected to cf?ce could neither recd nor write.

Iff THE STATE. THE ELECTION-HOW IT IS GOING-THE DEMO? CRATS HARD AT WORK-SOIES OF THE RE? TURNS-MOVEMENTS IN VARIOUS DISTRICTS. The Columbia Phoenix, of yesterday, says : "We have cheering news from various quar? ters of Democratic successes. Here, the elec? tion on yesterday was supposed to be decided? ly favorable to the Democratic party. Many of the colored people are voting with their Southern supporters and patrons. Oar people generally are already exercising the privilege of rewarding those who Bustain them, and are not inclined to help on a colored man who ia mdiflerent to the interests of his employer. Many white men, and some of our ladies, are finding out that they can themselves perform much ol' the work that they formerly hired colored persons to do. RETURNS. The Pncenix adds: The following returns of the first dry's voting have been received from different sec? tions of the State: Gadsden-459, of which 35 were Democratic. At the time tho cars passed yesterday IOU votes hf.d been polled-about 50 Democratic. Greenville-389; 82 against constitution. At McDoualdsville 115 polled; 8 against constitu? tion. Anderson Courthouse-433; 103 against con? stitutum. Greenwood (Abbeville District!-210: 40 against. Ninety-six-187; 73 against. Newberry-753; whites 121. Up to the time the train left yesterday the vote was smail. CoLuitHiA-Second day-Ail quiet at the polis. 488 votes were polled at the lower box, of which 222 were white. 254 polled at the up? per-125 white. The Democratic majority at upper box is 17. ORANGEBURG. Our Fort Motte correspondent, writing under date of the 15th inst., says : Up to this afternoon the voting at Lewisville has been very brisk, and for the twp days four hundred and twenty votes have been cast. Fif? ty-two have been rejected, of which two. were white aud fifty were black. At Fort Motte between forty and fifty votes were polled to-day; the exact number of ne? groes could not be ascertained. Eight negroes voted the Democratic ticket, much to the hor? ror and anger of their illustrious brethren, who threatened them with summary punish? ment for deserting their race. SUMTER. On the 10th instant the citizens of Sumter District held a grand mass meeting and organ? ized a, district club. President, J. B. Fraser; Yice-Presidents, presidents of local clubs; Secretary, A. Moses. Executive Committee.-J. S. Richardson, J. T. Solomons, J. N. Frierson, W. Nettles, E. C. Green. Mr. J. S. G. Richardson made a speech by re? quest, taking gro- a in favor of running no candidate, but voting against the constitu? tion. Coloael Blanding explained the necessity for voting for candidates, as existing in the fact that military orders required it, in order to make (he vote against t?e constitution valid. NEWBERRY. The mass meeting called at Newberry Courthouse was numerously attended, not? withstanding the very disagreeable weather. The Herald says: General Garlington, Judge Y. J. Pope, Major Jj. J. Jones and J. F. J. Caldwell made ad? dresses on the part of the Democratic club, which were well received, and which we be? lieve produced good effect upon some of the more enlightened of the colored audience. Tom Keitt, body servant of Colonel E. S. | Keitc, and familiarly known through the dis- ? trict as his trusty and attached "Adjutant- | General," and of course a warm Democrat and good worker, made a stirring and sensible ap- : peal at the close of a few speeches made by ? some of the Leaguers. The meeting was ha?-1 monious. -Great distress still exists among the re? spectable working classes of New York. An instance occurred Friday, where a healthy, de? cently dressed mechanic applied to be com-1 mitted as a vagrant, saying that Le was unable ! to get work, and wished to be supported for a ? fortnight, in the hope that times would then 1 be better. i THE PRESIDENT'S TRIAL,. MONDAY'S PBOCEEDINGS-AN INTEREST? ING DAY'S WORK. Since the opening of the trial, no session of the Senate bas been so important, interesting or eventful as that of Monday last. The coun Eel tor the President renewed the effort to in? troduce General ShermaL's testimony, predi? cated upon the question which had been ad? mitted on Saturday previous to the adjourn? ment. The managers resisted every effort tc elicit the truth, and thus ignored their own previous proceedings in endeavoring to esta? blish what they called the illegal "criminal in? tent'' of the President. After long argument on both sides, General Sherman left the stand, and it was supposed that his valuable testimo? ny was hopelessly excluded. This impression, however, was subsequently disappointed, and he was recalled to answer a question propound? ed by Hon. Reverdy Johnson, which was di? vested of the technical difficulties that had served as a pretext in shutting out the former interrogatories. "We quote from the National Intelligencer's summary of the proceedings: There was an immediate demand for the yeas anil nays by Connees and Drake, who seem to act as the ready and convenient instruments of the prosecution. Whenever any duty is to be discharged which the managers themselves cannot perform under the rules, then senators become ready instruments of wrong. The call was listened to with breathless anxiety, and wheu it was decided that the question was de? cided affirmatively by a single vote, a buzz of approbation spread itself with electric emotion over the vast auditory. General Sherman answered the direct ques? tion, and was proceeding to narrate the sub? stance of the interview, when he was rudely checked by Butler, who objected to anything but the strictest letter of the inquiry. An addi? tional interrogatory was then offered, so as to de velope the purpose sought to be|aecertained by Mr. Johnson's question, and really included in its terms, which was admitted, after angry op? position on the part of Mr. Bingham, who lost his temper and balance as soon as the first de? feat wae experienced. General Sherman resumed the ?tand, and this time with the certainty of revealing his knowledge on the subject of most serions ac? cusations against the President. He had hard? ly begun, however, when Butler interposed to stop him. This interruption produced an un? expected result; for General Sherman adminis? tered a most scathing rebuke to the imperti? nent meddler, and went on with hie narrative just as he had commenced. The silence and attention on the door of the Senate and throughout the galleries, crowded to their ut? most capacity, was so profound, that although the witness did not pitch his voice in a high key, every word was distinctly heard through? out the chamber, so rapt and universal was the attention. It seemed almost as if the fate of the case hung upon the words that fell from the hps of General Sherman. He testified with great care, clearness of lan? guage, and directness, to the effect that the President, when tendering him the appoint? ment of Secretary of War ai interim, had stated that his own relations, as well as those of the Cabinet, with Mr. Stanton, were such as rendered a change in the War Department in? dispensable m the interest of the service and of the whole country. This was repeated with emphasis. On the occasion of the second offer, when Gen. Sherman suggested whether the lawyers could not make up a case, the Pres? ident said it was impossible without making an act interim appointment; but that if it could be done, the civil tenure-of-office bill would not stand half au hour before the Supreme Court. He regardedit as unconstitutional, and claimed the right to make the appointment which was tendered him. In reply to a question from Mr. Howard, the witness testified that the Presi? dent had Dever suggested the employment of force in any form, but had expressed "the opin? ion that Stanton would retire upou the presen? tation of the order, as he was '-cowardly" by nature, aud would make uo resistance. Nothing could bc more distinct, positive and convincing than the evidence given by General Sherman, and every syllable ho uttered appear? ed to demolish the last vestiges of the pre? tended caso of the prosecution. As he closed there was an evident sense of relief to the strimed interest which was manifested throughout, and a feeling of deep and earnest satisfaction was testified iu the gratified ex? pression of the immense multitude, as it a weight of care had been lifted off the mind, and joyful hope had confidently replaced doubt? ing anxiety. The contrast" presented in the general tone and keeping of the same audience m the short space of au hom1, between the withdrawal of General Sherman from the stand auci his return to it, was something so stinking aa to be remarked and remembered by mes: ox the concourse of spectators. That assembly pronounced ou the spot what mu6t be the popular verdict-a complete ac? quittal and entire vindication of the President. If thc galleries had been polled, representing, as they did, by two-thirds at least, persons m sympathy v>ith tho majority in Congress, we venture to assert that outside o? fixea pol?tica] prejudice, there would have hardly been a dis? senting voice as to the innocence bf the accus? ed and the injustice of hid accusers. There were some other proceedings, but these embrace the pith and marrow. It was a day ot hard battle. Mr. Butler died game; he knew tho importance of shutting the door of investigation, and thai his case would noe bear the light; but a majority of the Senate were conscious, upon reflection, that it would never do thus to let the matter go to the country. SCITNEBS OUTBAGEOCS PROPOSITION-HE MEETS WITH A BEBCFF-THADDEUS STEVENS EXPLAINS -P. EVE II Di.' JOHNSON'S CASTIGATION OF BUTLER. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette, wilting in regard to Monday's proceedings, says : Another outrage came near being perpetra? ted to-day, but fearing the effect upon the country, it was abandoned-and that was to so alter the rules as to require all of the Presi? dent's counsel to speak nrst on the final sum? ming up, and all the managers to follow them. This proposition emanated from Mr. Sumner, a highly proper source, but ai't^Mlaborate ar? gument, was rejected by a large v?Tfe. During this discussion, Manager Williams was for the first time allowed to participate. He was spoil? ing to be heard, and Butler permitted him to speak his piece and then again retire to the rear. But the most remarkable statemeut was made by Manager Stevens, who rose, and lean iug against the Secretary's desk, claimed the privilege of an opportunity of explaining to the country why he had urged the adoption of the ninth article of impeachment, relative to Gene? ral Emory. Does he deem it necessary to ex? plain ? What a commentary upon Butler's management of the case ! What a confession by the "Great Commoner." when he says an apology or explanation is due the country for his having procured the ninth article to be adopted. If the evidence had sustained the charge no such explanation could possibly l e necessary. It is hoped that old Thad, may be allowed to tell how he happened to be,deluded into it, as he is evidently mortified at the posi? tion iu which Butler has left him. Bingham takes his humiliation more kindly, and when he rises to utter a word, he turns to Butler aud seems to say : "If you please Genera'.." Butler, however, promised him to-day that Le should be heard before the case was concluded, aud Bingham quietly subsided. It was the purpose of the President's coun? sel to call General Sherman again to tbe stand, but they were relieved of the trouble Ly Sena? tor Johnson, who had him recalled to answer a i question. Atter another stormy debato on tue | part of the prosecution, General .Sherman was i permitted to testily, and he completely annihi- j lated the theory of criminal intent oa the part I of the President. The recalling ot' Sherman hy a senator was followed by intense interest i throughout the chamber, and as lue vote wes j being taken whether or not the question should be answered pin could have Leen heard to fall. The close vote of twenty-six to twenty five added much to the excitement. Sherman having exploded the conspiracy plo: of the managers, Butler, in revenge, attempted a sim* upon the distinguished senator who had propounded the question which brought out the facts and pricked their bubble. Mr. John? son immediately Spranz to his feet and de? manded to know it thc ft one abie manager in? tended any imputation upon him: if so he did not kuow his man. Butler was brought to his knees at once, and changed his insolence to a tone of supplication. The President's coiins'.>l were not allowed au opportunity to follow un the questions and bring out Grant's double dealing. It may be, however, that Grant will be required to tell the story of his own shame. It is understood that Sherman, if permitted, would have testified that the President created the Department of the Atlantic on his recom? mendation. ALL ABOUT THOSE DBEXES. The following is a verbatim report of General Thomas' testimony in regard to his interview with Stanton: General Thomas-Hr. Stanton turned to mo and got talking in a familiar manner. I Baid: "The next time yon have me arrested please do not do it before I get something to eat." I paid I had had nothing to eat or drink that day. He pu: his hand around my neck, aa he some? times does, and ran his hand through my hair and turned around to Gmeral Schriver and said: "Schriver, von have got a bottle here, bring it out." [Laughter.] Schriver unlocked his case and brought it out, a small vial con? taining, I suppose, about a spoonful of whis kev, and stated at the same time that he occa? sionally took a little for dyspepsia. [Laughter.] Mr. Stanton took that and poured it into a tumbler and divided it equally, and we drank it together. Mr. Stanbery asked: "A fair division?" General Thomas-A fair division, because he held up the glasses to the light and saw that they each had about the same, and we each drank. [Laughter.] Presently a messenger came in with a bottle of whiskey-a full bottle; the cork was drawn, and he and I took a drink together. "Now," said he, "this at least is neutral ground." [Laughter.] A HARD HIT. Mr. Curtis, in his speech in defence of Presi? dent Johnson, thus mildly referred to Messrs. Butler, Bingham and Stevens : The complaint is that the President made speeches against this government, against Congress. Well, who are the grand jurors in this case ? One of the parties, the complain? ants. And who are the triers? The other complainants. Now. I think there is some in? congruity in this. I think there is some rea? son for pausing before taking any further strides in this direction. The honorable House of Representatives sends its managers here to take notice of what ? That the Booie of Re? presentative's has erected itself into a school of manners, and, selecting from ita ranks those gentlemen whom it deems most competent by precept and example to teach decorum of speech, it desires the judgment of this body as to whether the President of the United States has not been guilty of indecorum whether he has spoken improperly-for that is the phrase of the honorable managers. The Future of Charleston. At the annual dinner of the Board of Trade on Wednesday evening, the following letter waB read from Gen. J. W. Harrison, one of the most energetic, far-seeing and patriotic of the public men of our State: AJTDEBSON, April 13, 1863. Gentlemen : I regret that my engagements will rot permit me to be present at your an? niversary on the lodi inst. The prosperity of the City of Chark etoo is so intimately con? nected with that of the whole State that every association to promote her prosperity should command the sympathy and encouragement of every citizen. It is a melancholy reflection that the peopla of South Carolina seem to have lost, in some degree, their ancient and honor aole pride ir. the beauty, growth and wealth of Charlton. It is a great misconception to suppose that the people, as individuals or com? munities, can be prosperous, whilst our own Erincipal cities are languishing and decaying, a proportion as these cities increase in popu? lation, iu wealth and commerce, so will the advantages resulting from this be reflected back upon the whole people. The enhanced value of property and extend? ed commerce will enlarge the revenues of the cities and the State, and thus the general tax? ation will be lightened, and each tax-payefre ceive a proportionate benefit. Again, there seems to be a settled conviction upon thc part of our country merchants that they cannot purchase their stories anywhere to cheaply as ia the great cities of the North; and yet every now and theu these merchants must 02 impressed with the fact that sonic enter? prising neighbor, who buys in Charleston, is selling the same style ol goods at the same fig? ures, and perhaps a little lower. This is true, and can oe' easily and satisfactorily explained; still it will require time and experience to con? vince oar commercial men. A well directed and concentrated effort of the active business mea oi Charleston, aided by influential citizens in the country, will eventually reclaim the trade ot our own people, to which Charleston is now, and always has been, so justly entitled. But Charleston cannot become a respectable com? mercial emporium if she relies alone upon tho trade of our own State and sections contiguous. Ihe area must le enlarged, and other States be invited to become tributary. Charleston must have a more direct and cheaper commu? nication with the great cities of the West. This :s now within her reach. She may not have the money within herself to accomplish this, hut she has active, intelligent, far-seeing citi? zens, and by concentrated eflort the capital could he .nduced to come. For more than thirty years this enterprise has been entertained, fostered and encouraged by y om- ritizens, and surely there must have been and is now great merit and practicability in the scheme or it wouiJ have been forgotten and abandoned long ago. What was first, per baps. State pride, nag become a stem necessi? ty, and the active enterprise of adjoining States ?a daily forcing it upon our view. Then permit me to entreat you to arouse, not from apathy and indifference, but from that intent? ness upon daily business and avocations which for the sn:cess of a day or an hour sometimes intervenes and cuts off the most important prospective advantages. If I could venture, I would further suggest that you should use all efforts to shorten the line of commuuicatiou between your city and the Northwestern dis? tricts ol the State", by constructing the branch road lroin Aiken to New Market, then push for? ward the road to Knoxville, where you will be in direct contact with Cincinnati and Louis? ville, Chicago and other Western cities-upon a line in which you will have a great controlling interest, and where you could at least guard against any adverse restrictions. Next to this, if cot of equal importance, is the necessity for a shorter and more direct line to Memphis" from which point roads are pro? jected northward to the Pacific Railroad with such advantage, that Charleston could draw off her proportionate part ot that valuable traffic With these great fices constructed, and the management properly consolidated, Charleston would certainly be in a position where she could secure that part of tue commerce of the West India Islands which her natural advan? tages of location entitles her to. Permit me to add the following sentiment : '.Ike City of Charleston: Nature has fur? nished her a beautiful and eligible site upon the "great highway o? nations.' Tue tact, en? ergy and enterprise of her citizens must render her* worthv of it.*' Very respectfully, J. W. HARRISON. Messrs. D. P. FLEITIXG, P.. S. BBTJNS, A. H. HATDE>\ and others, committee. Caught at Last. AEBZST OF THE BOBBEE OF THE CANAL BANE f-F SEW OBLEAXt-WONDEBFCL TACT OF THE DETECTIVES. The Canal Bank of New Orleans was recently robbed of $50,000. A few days ago the robber, whose name 16 Ap. Rillool, was discovered and arrested by officers Izard and Farrell, and as thu arrest was accomplished under ve:y singu ;ai circumstances, we present the full particu? lars, as given by a New Orleans paper: Tue skill and ingenuity dispkyed in workine up the case, and carrying it t? a successful issue, rc-?ects the highest credit upon them. Visiting tue bank shorey after tue robbery had b^eii committed, tney noted every thing that was calculated to help t?em ia the search they had determined to make-nothing escaping'their careful scrutiny. They sa-" ..t a glance tna: the thief must ur. ve been un exceedingly lal! man, with long arms, to have taken the envelope containing the money ?rom tue spot, where it had been placed by tile exchange clerk, Mr. P. L. Duquency, aud on a minute exanrinariou of the lower ledge of thc- railing upon which he must have stepped. they discovered the im? print of a tack. This at unco arrested their attention, and they argued to themselves that the man evidently cad wean a machine-made shoe or hoot, as m th?f?e a steel tick or rivet i= always driven about tie centre or just Le youd the shank, lt will be admitted that tuis was but a poor clue upon which to hang a hope of pursuing the search to a successful issue, and the result only proves what may be accomplished by resok.te and expert detec? tives, when added to the esprit du corps, which exists among them is the grand incentive of a large reward. These two men immedi? ately became lost tc almost everything save a contemplation nf men's feet. They waLked" stealthily behind all the tall men they met, endeavoring to <:atch a glimpse of the soles of their boots, hoping to see some pro? truding tack which migit lead to a discovery. Days of weary and fuitless search passed. They had inspected the soles of almost every individual who walks orr streets without avail, when tho merest chance revealed what they bad sought so long and vainly. Having sauntered together into the City Hotel, abont two o'clock, wh le most of the guests were seated around the long tables in the rcadingroom, or gathered in cosy knots con? versing on the topics of the day, they sat down to observe and compare notes. Pres? ently officer Farrell observed a large man, sitting on the opposite side of the table, with one foot resting on his knee. He imme? diately called Izara's attention to the man, who seemed to be endeavoring to bend down a tack in his boot with the end of his penknife. The intense satisfaction and surprise of the two detectives may be readily imagined. Here was a man who answered their idea of the robber exactly. He was tall, long-limbed, and there, from the centre of his boot, protruded a steel tack. To quietly walk round to whore the man sat, to touch him on the shoulder and whisper in his ear that he was a prisoner, was the work of a moment. The manner in which the man started, trem? bled and turned pale, would have convinced them of bis guilt had they seen no tale-telling tack. Without useless words they caused the man to walk with them to the chief of police's office; after a few attempts at prevarication, he made a full confession. It seems that going to the bank to inquire the rate of exchange, he saw thejclerk leave his desk, and through the wire frauze detected the money envelope lying on the edger. A wild impulse seized him to poseess it, and quick as thought he reached over, dis? placed the gas bracket, grasped the envelope, replaced the bracket, and noiselessly left the bank. He stated further, that he had been greatly surprised at the large amount contain? ed in the envelope, and seeing that the notes were all numbered, had cut open the mattress in his room at the City Hotel, and thrust them in, hoping to leave the city in a few days un? observed witn his prize, to wait until the affair had blown over, and he might offer the notes with impunity. On repairing to the City Hotel, the officers, after a private conversation with Mr. Morse, the proprietor, obtained the proper key to the room, and were soon in possession of the prize which ta ey had so industriously sought, and the loss of which had been so ab? sorbing a topic of conversation. On examin? ing the envelope it was found that all the notes were safe, there being fifty $1000 bills in the package. COUNT BISMARCK A ?CD THE ISBAELITES.-Count de Bismarck, who had been requested by the Alliance Israelite, cf Paris, to interpose with the government of Prince Charles in behalf o' | the Jews persecuted in Roumania by the agents of the Minister Brat ano, returned the follow? ing reply: Gentlemen : The Prussian Government has given fresh instructions to its representative at Bucharest to ?se his utmost influence to secure for your co-religionists all that protec? tion which they enjoy in countries that are under a legislation founded on principles of humanity. I am, besides, firmly convinced that the intentions of Prince Charles entirely concord with our views, and that his highness will, by his finn determination, promote the development of the constitution of his coun? try, which will render easy to the government the exercise of a benevolent protection over all classes of the population.
