"" ":' 1SB? " ! '..V.11 i ' 1 1 -?^ Foreign If ?wa. PARIS, Juno 4.-The press and busi? ness men are unanimous in complaints of mail irregularities between France and the United States. Many common muskets and other war material have re? cently been ordered from Brussels and New York on the Viceroy's account. A large increase in the nrmnment at th? disposal of Egypt is suddenly apparent. It is now almost certain that the Viceroy is preparing fur a struggle against the Sublime Forte, aud that Bussin will lend him her powerful assistance. Tho proceedings in tho Spanish Cortes yes? terday wore highly important. Almost the ontire session was devoted to tho consideration of tho futuro ruler of the country. At length a proposition was made by ono of the members that no candidate for King should bo considered fairly oleotod unless ho received a ma? jority equal to one half of the full num? ber of Deputies in tho Cortes. Amid the most enthusiastic applause it was re? solved to take this proposition iuto con? sideration by a vote of IOU to 93, and the Cortes then adjourned. This vote is very significant. It is regarded as equivalent to a defeat of the Duke Montpensier, who has only 89 votes in the Cortes, and who, if this amendment is adopted, will require 179 votes in order to be elected. In the Corps L?? gislatif yesterday members of tho loft having demanded tho right of public meetings during tho election for Consul General, Ollivicr refused makiug this cabinet question the order of tho day for to-day. The deputies who yesterday voted by a largo majority against the ministry, to-day unanimously voted in favor, except the mombors of the left, who abstained from voting. The suc? cess of Ollivier to-day averts the ex? pected ministerial crisis. Tho statement is made to-day that M. Banditti, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Ple? nipotentiary to Prussia, who recoutly has leave of absence granted him to visit Paris, has received an order to re? turn to his post at Berlin forthwith. MADRID, June 4.-Tho Englishmen who were captured by Spanish brigands near Gibralter, somo time since, have been tracked by an emissary of tho Gov? ernment. Tho prisoners wero in good health and wero well treated. Their final release was only a matter of money. The Government lins already commenced negotiations with tho robbers, but the subject is replete with difficulties, and it iu feared no result eau be reached for weeks. ST. PETERSBURG, June 4.-The Chi? nese Embassy will return overland via Siberia. LONDON, June 4.-Tho Skipping Ga? zette of to-day has a vigorous leading arti? cle on the extortion practiced upon ves? sels arriving nt Cuban ports, uuder the pretence of exacting fiues for the evasiou of custom regulations. The Gazette in? vokes a joint protest against this out? rage by England and tho United States. Tho Spectator asks indignantly whether the Government has exchanged Gambia for worthless lauds adjoining Sierra Leone. Tho Saturday Review admits tho ill-taste and uselessness of Lindsay's ad? dress in rcfereuce to Grant's Fenian ac? tion. Tho Daily News hopes Lindsay's address will be misreported by telegraph. General George Napier publishes a fresh endorsement of Canadian courage and loyalty. LONDON, June G.-To-day is a holiday. LIVERPOOL, Juno G.-Robert Rankin is dead. CONSTANTINOPLE, Juno G.-A fire is now burning in tho wealthiest part of tho city on the North side of the Golden Hom, and a high wind is prevailing. Tho residences of the English, Ameri? can, aud Portuguese Ambassadors and Consuls, the theatre, many churches and mosques, and tho richest stores in the city, have been burned. The loss of life from falling walls is fearful. LONDON, June G.-The police have discovered Fenian plots in every direc? tion, not only in London, but in "Wales and elsewhere. "War -materials have been seized in several places, and the persons in charge of tho stores arrested. Public excitement is unabated. MADRID, Juno G.-Tho Englishmen captured by tho Spanish brigands, and rescued, have arrived nt Gibraltar. HAVANA, Juno G.-De Rodas telegraphs that 100 Spaniards, with two gun-boats, dispersed the filibusters from New York, who landed near Neuvitas, killing ten, including Capt. Harrison; two wounded and three captured, with all their stores. Several prisoners wero executed immedi? ately. Tho steamer Geo. P. Upton, which landed tho expedition, escaped. A stage conch between Vera Cruz and Jalapa was robbed, and one passenger killed. Domestic NtWMi QUEBEC, Juno 4.-Fires are raging in the woods at Trinity Bay and some miles up Saguenay River. Others are reported in tho vicinity of Point Aux Tremoles. Should tho drought continuo tho ravages of tho conflagration will bo extensive. NEW YORK, Juno 4.-Tho Sub-Treas? ury disbursed 8577,000 interest, and re? ceived Si,705,000 for customs. Bank statement shows that loans have de? creased $65,000; specie decrease $1,778, 500; circulation increase $35,000; depos? its decrease $1,847,000; legal tender de? crease $"329,000; exports to-day $334, 00J; for week $1,199,000. Imports for tho week of dry goods, $1,420,00 ); gen? eral merchandize, $5,590,000; sub-Treas? ury balance in gold, $75,328,200; cur? rency, $8,017,700; general balance. $87, 034,004. TROY, Juno G.-The railroad bridge was sot fire to and narrowly escaped de? struction; tho samo bridge was burned in 18G2, involving tho destruction of the business portion of tho town. A high wind this morning, it is probablo, would have repeated that calamity. CHARLESTON, Juno G.-Arrived steam? ships South Carolina, New York; Mary? land, Baltimore. 9 i S? OMAHA, June 6.-Geo. Thoma?, city editor of the Republican, ia dead. He was formerly connected with the New York Herald. NEW YORK, June 6.-The ship Wm. F. Storer, of the "Blaok Ball" Liv? erpool line, is horning. Her cargo of lard, grain and cotton, will be destroyed. PHILADELPHIA, June C.-Seven ships, with petroleum, departed for Europe this week, with over 1,000,000 gallons. The shipments from this port ure 5,000,000 gallons in excess of tue sumo time lust year.' MONTGOMERY, ALA., June 0.-The so called meeting of citizens called by Re? publicans to censure the faction of Judge Busteed of tho United States District Court for incarcerating Auditor Reynolds, for disobedieuce of au in? junction of tho Court, resulted in a graud failure. Thtunpson, negro mem? ber of tho Legislature, was elected President, and annouueed that Busteed should be sustained. Attornoy-Geueral Muse said Reynolels disapproved of tho meeting. Resolu? tions were introduced by Keller, against Busteed, iu severe terms, nud tho meet? ing voted them down and broke up. A warrant was issued against Busteed, this morning, by Keffer, charging him with libeling Reynolds, and two negroes were deputised to serve tho warrant, which Busteed evaded by being driven to tho Court Boom in a close carriuge anti giving bonds. WASHINGTON, June fi.-The Recon? struction Committee has adopted as a rulo not to remove disabilities exoept upon written applications. Tho recom? mendations of friends or high officials aro not respected. The petition must bo accompauiod with expressions indi? cating proper submission. Tho House has adopted a resolution directing tho Committee of Ways aud Means to re? port a bill abolishing tho duty ou coal. In the Senate, bills were introduced granting lands to the State of Alabama, to aid iu tho construction of Savannah and Memphis Railroad, nud to prohibit contracts for the importation of Chinese coolies. lu the Senate, New York merchants and importers petition for on abolitiou of the tux on sales. Stewart introduced a bill to prohibit contracts for servile labor, which he said wan intended to break up the system of coolie contracts, by which tho Chinese laborers were imported to this country and held to labor for four years. The hill provides that no contracts with tho Chinese shall bo good longer than six months. He argued that immediate action should bo taken, ns ngents ore now about to iutroduce them into South Carolina and Massachusetts. He moved that tho bill be referred to tho Judiciary Committee, aud gave notico that be should press it to early action. Indian appropriations were considered. A motion to make the Texas Southern Pacific Railroad a special order prevailed, but subsequently Drake moved a recon? sideration. The bill for the settlement of claims for quartermasters and company stores furnished to or taken by the United United within tho States in rebellion during tho late war, carno up in order to-night, and was debuted. Motions to pass over the bill and to recommit to the committee were defeated. The debate is uow iu progress. In the House, Bowen introduced a bill for the sale of ccrtniu sea islands.

Authentic contradiction of the Jewish massacre in Rou ainu ia, causes great re? joicing throughout the country. Tribute of Respect. CALDWELL.-At a meeting of tho Board of Directors of tho Miaaiaeippi and Tennes? see Railroad Company, held at Memphis on tho 23th day of May. 1870, tho following reso? lutions, offered by Col. Joseph Lenow, were unanimously adopted: Resoled. That wo have learned with deep rogrct of tlic death of our Director and asso? ciate, Col. John Caldwull, which event trans? pired at Columbia, South Carolina, ou tho 15th inst. Col. Caldwull bau boon a Director and largo stockholder in our road for a num? ber of years, and its preaout prosperity is duo, to a great extent, to his indomitable energy and entorpriao. flo was ever its trno and fast friend, and contributed to" it very largely of bia means and time. Ilia extended experience in railroad affaira well titted him to servo au a Director iu our road, having been connected with railroad interests for a series of years in bia native Stato, Mouth Carolina, previous to his .removal to Mississippi. We deplore tho lose of thia just and good niau, and it (gives na pleasure to bear thia last testimonial to the memory of ono who, in all the walka of life, so demeaned himself aa to receive tho respect and good will of all I ruo mun. Ho labored in common with tis to rebuild tho road, which suffered an severely hy the Avar; and it is hard to part with him, now that the aim of pros? perity has begun to shine once moro over our enterprise, and our beloved South awakened from the lethargy which has clouded every interest, How mete that his last moments should have been spent in his own native State, where his energy and intellect were lirst called into service, and where tho genius that presaged his future useful career first ripened. To his family wo would extend our heart-felt sympathy; though our loss maybe grievous, what must this great afUiction bo to them, thus bereft of husband and father? May Cod in his mercy soften the blow and protect tho widowed and orphaned ones. Resolved, That thia resolution be spread upon thc minutes, a copy sent to tho family of the deceased, and published in ono of the city papers, and in Columbia, South Carolina. 8. ll.
