TIic Mississippi Crcvnsscs,
New Orleans, April 25.—Chief Engineer
Thompson's official report says: By some nn-
fortunate misconception of his orders in regard
to establishing a line of couriers from Kenner-
ville to Bonnet Carro crevasse, nothing official
has been heard up to this hour (9 o’clock s. an)
from that point. This is sure evidence that no
great change for the worse has occurred.
Early to-morrow morning a party consisting of
Governor Warmonth, Mayor Flanders, Presi
dent McComb of the Jackson Road, and other
officials, will visit the crevasse. Colonel Wal
ton, Engineer of the Mexican Gulf Canal, and
Captain Hatch, Assistant State Engineer, went
np this evening on the steamer Leo. I have
heard that the people at Kennervillo turned out
to build themselves a protection of the levee in
their rear and around the town. The front
levees have been repaired and strengthened,
and the new levee on tho Trundan place is rap
idly approaching completion.
I have heard this evening from the Superin
tendent at tho Marcro crevasso just below the
barracks. Ho says : “I am happy to tell you
we are getting along very well. I think by to
morrow we will have tho whole work accom
plished.”

Poverty Point crevasse, winch is favorable.

plenty of materials and expected soon to com*
plete the work.
From tho McDonongh crevasse, in PJaqne-
mino Parish, on tho right bank, I have heard
as late as 5 o’clock p. m Mr. Decker, in charge,
telegraphs as follows: ‘-Just come from the
crevasse on Dr. Parmeleo’s place, and find that
it can be conveniently closed with the materials
there. The materials were sent this morning.
In a long official letter from Engineer \^n
Pelt, dated 12:30 yesterduy, he says the Grand
and Morgan’s Sea levees are safe. I came
down by land from New Texas to Hermitage.
The Point Coupee levees are safe for this sea
son. Tho crevasso at Point Maner is now be
tween two hundred and two hundred and fifty
feet wide, and abont four feet of water in the
bottom in front of Mr. Glynn’s. I commenced
work on the levee on the 13th, and the crevasse
broke on the lC;h. It has taken all on* foroe
and enough more to keep the levee from break
ing in other places. I have just passed the
Evergeen levee. It will stand. The planters
kept it up by hard work.
Rumors of n crevasse at Blue Store in Point
Coupe and Bayou Sara, are unfounded. Water
in Red River is falling. No interruption of
telegraph commonication along tho Jackson
Railroad has occurred, and no waters from Bon-j
net Carre crevasse are nearer to the city than 1
thirteen miles. The river in front of the city
is sixteen inches below the high water mark of
18G2, and falling.

Affairs in France continue most deplorable.
Though the government troops are reported to
be steadily advancing, there is no prospect of
an immediate collapse of the insurrection. In
the meantime, the spirit of anarchy, like a con
tagious disease, is spreading over the country.
Toulouse has been declared in a state of seige,
and several other large cities are on the eve of
revolution.
The people of Nice still fail to appreciate the
blessings of French civilization, and long to be
re-united with the kingdom of Italy.
Tho news from Algiers is not encouraging.
A native chief, said to command 30,000 men,
has risen against the French rule. The discip
line of the French troops is very loose and th«^
men who volunteered for the duration of the
war have refused to march against the Arab
Insurgents.
Society in Paris presents tho most perfect
chaos.
The judicial business is perfectly suspended,
there being no Judges sitting. Sinc > the fourth
of September last .35,000 law oases, comprising
the most various interests, have accumulated.
In the English House of Commons a resolu
tion, discontinuing tho telegraph and postal
services on Sunday, was lost, the Government
being sustained by a majority of 49 votes. The
bill abolishing tho game laws, after an animated
debate, was defeated by 123 majority. Peter
Alfred Taylor, member for Leicester, having
stated that the tenth part of tho surface of
Scotland, or two millions of acres had been re
served as deer forests, and the population
exiled to make room for game, William Brand,
member for Cambridgeshire, in the coarse of
£ho following debates, said that poachers and
thieves only nrged the abolition of the game
laws. The House of Lords, for the sixth time,
has vetoed the bill legalizing marriage with a
deceased wife’s sister, sent np from tho House
of Commons. This decision has caused groat
indignation in England, and tho Daily News
thus begins a leading article : “Oat with the
Bishops! The trifling of ecclesiastical dilettanti
and spiritual Pharisees with the social and fam
ily arrangements of the country has lasted long
enough; and a short road will, we hope, be
found to a euro of the 6vil.”
Wo have several times expressed our bt llcl
that the annexation of tho Duchy of Luxem
bourg to the German Empire ia only a question
of little time. Indeed, present reports aro in
sinuating that tho cession in principle is alre ady
agreed npon between Holland and the Imperial
Government. We think the population of tho
Daohy who have either to choose between hav
ing tho Zoliverein, which is equal to financial
ruin, or entering the German Empire, would
have no great objection to the latter course,
were it not for the German system of compell
ing military service, enrolling alike, high and
low, into tho national army. In the meantime
the German papers are already beginning to ex
press an ardent desire that another Geiman ter
ritory, which was lost owing to tho disunion of
tho nation, might bo won back to tha Empire.
Tho Island of Helgioland, not far from the
month of the Elbe, as a dependency of Schles
wig-Holstein, was governed by the Danish
Crown—tho Kings of Denmark ruling Sohles-
wig-Holstein in much the same way as, for
while, the Kings of England ruled Hanover.
After Denmark had allied herself to Franco
in 1807, England took possession of the Island
keeping it as a valuable station in the North
Sea ever since. Helgioland, protecting the en
trance into the rivers Eider, Elbe, Weser and
Jade, in the hands of an enemy may prove
great danger to Germany in times of war; it is
true England has never made an unfair use of
her acquisition, but German national pride, so
much strengthened since the war, dislikes to
sco the English, who similarly hold possession
of Gibraltar in Spain, continue their suprema
cy over Helgioland. If during the war, the Isl
and had been in German koepirg the French
fleet would never have been able to coal every
fortnight off the ooast of Helgioland. In fact,
to blockade the mouth of the Weser, would
have been an impossibility. Owing to her Steep
coasts and few accessible points Helgioland is
easily to be defended against a powerful squad
ron.
It is said that Count Bemstorff, the German
Ambassador in London, remarked in a recent
interview with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs,
that public opinion in Germany, on account of
tho exportation of arms to France, was very
hostile, but that England by withdrawing from
Helgioland might secure tlialasting friendship
of Germany, whereupon he was told that tho
pending questions of maritime warfare being
settled, there were no objections to take the
matter into consideration.
The first German Parliament forms such an
important epoch in modem history that wo can
not help paying its deliberations a more careful
attention by citing part of a speech of Bismarck,
which forcibly illustrates his own views on the
so-called Polish question or tho resurrection of
the ancient Kingdom of Poland.
There aro about twenty Polish deputies in tie
House who proposed that Prussian Poland «nonld
not bo included in the Federal territory. Tho
Chancellor, opposing this amendment, rose and
said: ...
“I deny that the gentlemen who propose this
motion have a right to apply the words of tho
speech from tho throne as they do. Reference
is there made to other motions and States,
whose independence is to be respected. The
gentlemen belong to no other nation and to no
other State than that of tho Prussians, of which
I am also a member; they cannot include Posen
and West Prussia, which have long been por
tions of the Kingdom of Prussia, in the other
States and nations alluded to in the opening
speech. This is one of those actions which dim
deny that these gentlemen have a right to speak,
in the name of the inhabitants of any district of
Prussia, whatever tho language there may be.
I will not remind you that, legally, you here
represent only tho whole of thq nation, and not
any separate district, and that you can have no
special, mandate. I will only recall to your
minds what, on a former occasion I more care
fully proved, (hat those who elected you do not
approve of tho declarations you make in their
names. Your countrymen have fought for the
cause which unites us t here with the same
courage and devotion which the inhabitants of
every other part of Prussia have displayed, and
your oonntrjmen are just as grateful for tho
blessings of Prussian culture, as the inhabi
tants of Schleswig.” [Cheers.] After having
staled that the treaties, referring to the Grand
daohy of Posen and West Prussia did not con
tain- the provisions-, the Polish members as
cribed to them, the Chancellor again continued:
“I also wish to request you to teach us toler
ance rather by example than by precept. When
the Poles were an independant nation, wliat
course of policy did they adopt towards those
whom they had conquered by the sword ? Do
you wish us to imitate the system you followed
against the Rutherians, the Russians who lived
under your rule, the Lithuarians, and even the
Germans? Your existence in this country, gen
tlemen, would become perfectly intolerable, if
we were to treat you as you treated the Ger
mans yon had conquered.” Bismark then al
luded to a bloody episode in Polish history, and
proceeded: “You need entertain no apprehen
sion, gentlemen, that these historical'reminis
cences which, against my wish, you compel me
to revive, will either serve U3 as an example, or
excite any feeling of bitterness.” After several
other members had addressed the House, Prince
Bismark ro3e again, and taming to the Poles,
he said: “You, gentlemen, are really no na
tion,mad you represent no nationyou have
nothing to rely on, but your factions, and your
illusions, ono being that the Polish people have
elected you as members of the Reichstag, in
order to represent the Polish nationality.” Ho
then told them that they had been elected to
support the interests of the Catholic Church,
and had a full right to aot in accordance with
those views,” but you have no mandate to rep
resent, in this place the Polish people, or the
Polish nationality. No hnman being bas com
missioned you to do so—the people in the Grand-
duchy of PoseD, and ia West Prussia least of
all. They do not share your fiction that the
Polish rule would have been a good, or “not a
bad thing,” to use the expression of the gentle
man who has just spoken. With all impartial
ity, and with every desire to be just, I can as
sure you it was a very bad thing indeed, and
that, therefore, it will never be restored”—
[Cheers.]
Dr. John Joseph Ignatius Doellinger, the
greatest living historian cf the Roman Catholic
Church, whosepiety has never been doubted by
even the most ardent Catholio, has been excom
municated by Pius the Ninth, because he re
fused to give bis adhesion to the new dogma of
Papal infallibility. Doellinger has defended his
deoision by a lengthy argument, the main points
of which are these: “The new dogmas are in
imical to tho Scriptures, as interpreted by ihe
Fathers. The arguments in their favor are
principally from forged documents; doctrines
precisely opposite were published by two Gen
eral Councils and several Popes in the fifteenth
century. Tho new dogma is incompatible with
the constitution of most modern States, espec
ially with that of Bavaria, to whichDf. Doellin
ger, as a member of the Reichsrath, has sworn al
legiance. The Council was not free. The writer
winds up his eloquent protest with this declara
tion : “I cannot conceal from myself that this
doctrine, the result of which was the destruction
of the old German Empire, will, in case it
should become dominant among the Catholio
portion of the German nation, immediately
plant the germ of an incurable decay in the new
empire which has just sprung into existence.”
Contrary to former reports tho Government
commands but a feeble majority in tho Spanish
Cortes. Casteiar, the leader of the Republican
party, made the startling proposition to dethrone
the King; this motion was followed cy the
greatest confusion, rendering further debate
impossible. Jabno.

FEA DROPPER.
Patented May 4tb» 1SG9.
T HIS noble little machine
was intended by tho in
ventor for dropping peas, for
which purpose it claims a spe
cialty. And even as Com and
Guano Dropper it has no
equal. As a Pea Dropper, it
needs only to be seen to con
vince anyone that it is a per
fect success. The present
season the inventor has drop-
ned nearly ono ton of guano
with the Dropper, in tho hill,
with Ids 00m, and he is now
prepared to recommend it for
patting guano into the hill
with more correctness and rapidity than any otb er
mode he has tried.
It is light, only weighs one pound and a half,
simple, and not liable to get out of order. It ia
used in the same manner and with as much ease aa
a walking cane. Children can use it with perfect
success before they can drop by hand.
I wish to establish agents to sell the PEA
DROPPER.
Price, at retail, $175.
Any one ordering the Pea Dropper, wrn please
address JAMES H. FRYER, Agent.
