From the Roman uutil the re oett strm gle in this country.no greater iiflnence had' bien exercised toward tho good destinodby the Almighty, thui that of the Fxenoh Rovo'ution of the.l6tb.oontuTy.

With the death of louis XV. a war of sluggish corruption nas ended, and Louis Vt suooeeded, during whose term French thought took a strong tendency in aevanoe. Dnr iegtho tirjt jearsof the reign of Louis XVI. camo up theveiy principles which made our rovolutiun a Opposition to taxation without representation was the wVich awoke French thought to liberty and afterwards to eqaalitv. The first spocial inuaonoe was that exercised by Franklin, who appeared as an ncoredited Umto.d States Minister in the simplest Republican costume, and even Marie Antoinette, who, although the rconarchieal institutions which his example would wort, joined the others to become bis rdmirer.

Among others, Turgot, a deep thinker of France, was affected by the simpllolty and grandeur of Franklin, and even as late as 1790, this was true, aB shown by the fact that the mention of Frtwik lln's name was gratefully received by thinking Frenchmen. Oihe'rs followed tho lead of Turgot, among tham many youthful nobles. This occurred iu times tho most critical, and successively followed tracts and pamphlets, evidently tuo effeetof tho American revolution, InlT90, an euloey was read upon the recant death of' Franklin, which seemed to set tho seal or French approval upon the character of that extraordinary man. Another, the brilliant and saioastlo Chamfort, was an embittered edition 'of Franklin; ho, too, stood sido by side with tho most advanced thouahts of the great and simple souled American. Very early in our Btrugglo the deepest thinkers claimed tho American government as tho best ever devised.

Probably tho most intimato acquaiQUvnoo of Franklin in Puris was the Abbe lloreille, who wrote many pampble's on tho American question, Miraboau also ranged himsolf under the American bannor, and from hie cell and buinlenils im Viwcennre in 1783, ho who was alwajs enthusiaetio and oftentimes prophetic, brolio forth in tho grandest of periods upon the results of tho American peace. Subsequently ho eulogized the character of Franklin in the National Assembly in liSii. The poet t'hemor also was a grand admirer of FrankliD, and through him, of tho Ametican ideas, The next great exponent of American thought in Franco was Thcmas Jefferson. It has been claimed that French ideas affected him more than he did them; but this is not true as shown by tho fact that ho fras outspoken in prineiplo before ho arrived thero in and earliest iu our revolution. This was shown early In the French Revolution, when he ivroo a cogent letter ia favor ot uniting the popular party with the Tier's Etat, from union of which resulted tho National Assembly.

Tho two parties of representative thought subsequently met at Jefferson's table in Paris and thero was an agreement made by which a united influence was so cured. The oharge that Jefferson was an advocita of Robespierre and bis polioy baB no foundation iu faot, as shown by diligent resoaroh in the Frenoh archives. Roohambeau and Lafayette were soleoted by tho leo lurer as the representative men of the higher class. Lafayette to his best friends never mentioned his love of liberty before the French revolution, but to his wifo ho did, and public letters from Washington, Jefferson and Laurens, widened his reputation among tho French people. Lafayetto exercised in consequence a great influence upon tho preparatory work of tho revolution in France, and none tne less after it had been onjo fairly become au existing and tnmultuous fact.

Rochambeau was a bard, tough soldier, who felt no enthusiasm like that of Laiayotto; he, among all others, was least likely to bo affected by tho liberty and equality of American But he did eventually break out into a violent panegyric on Americanism, and oventually became ono ot itatrongest champions. French travelers iu America from 1785 to 1789, who returned to their natlvo land and published their travels, helped to swell tbo tide in favor liberty. In those days such dirty renegades as Bull Run Russelland Chas. MacfeBy, were not among to abuso us and our institutions. Tho early French travelers came among us to receive IliauMtilly such iuiluenccs as our institutions offered to their consideration.

Many of our early great men were lirge'y complimented and all thia had au enlarged effect in France, during a ferment of thought, which a few yearB subsequently brought on the Frenoh Revolution, Briseot came to this country and in a volume gieatly in our favor gave to France, then seething in a cauldron of political change, the result of Mb. The effect was gTeat, and enlivened the French min'd not inconsiderably as our portraits and great men were presented to the French mind. Tho revolutiynary elements given to France by America were; a familiarity with revolution, a strength of idea given to French thought, by the trans Allantio republic, practical idraB of equality and their combination with the broadest liberty a true idea and representative of free manhood as represented In the porsons of Washington and Franklin. For all this, the Americans have a right to bo proud of the effects ot tho Ameri can idea upon the French mlud up to tho time ot tho Girondists. Subsequent to that none of it is found, during the bloody period which ended one of the grand si struggles wuicu ever aaicateu inu aia worm.

O. S. Rob IUSON At the rooms of tho Young Men's Christian Association, corner of Gallatin place and Fujton avoDub, quite a respectable audience, was gathored together to listen to the third of tho courso ot Biblo lessons given by tbo oiganization. Rev. C.

S. Robinson, of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, offlciatod on the oooa Eion. The Bubstanco of his discourse, styled "Tho Temptation and Fall at ifsn," is as follows: Taking tho third chapter oi the book of Genesis for a text, the speaker said be would simply discuss the question of tho fall and temptation of mau, and not the idler consequences of that siu. In the interpretation of tho chapter men bad ran riot, and no wonder, considering the wonueirui iuysiery 01 tue kuujcoi. Dome inougat the whole thing an allegory; others a myth, It cvnnot bo both it must be ono of Ihe two, Tho other portions of the Bible teach us that it is truth; leforenco beiDg constantly nine'e to it as a great historic eveut.

Conse quently if ou rail it a myth or an allegory, you must also deeignato Iho Scriptures by that name, The eohonio of doctrinal truth aUo accounts tor the origin of man, mm regaru ro me topic roe evomng tue nrst question to bo asked was "Who is the temptar?" Many" were of the opinjon that tho serpont did not address r.ve, but "Simply entieed her to follow bis examplo by continually eating tho fruit in her They also urge that if ho had apoktn the Mother ot the race would linvo been half ec.irid In death, the phenomenon being fo rxtiacrdinary. Smh wero some of flw beliefs. In tho first place, according to the speaker, tho narrativo was too plain to either call it a myth or an allepory. Secondly, we ought to rcmembm that tho snako might be enabled lo i pk by a miracle, just as In the caae of Balaam's ass. It was no moro wonderful in tho ono instance than it was in tho other.

Thirdly, Evo haelno reasons for being frightened when the serpent addressed her. ShekLCWuotliiog about animals, bad no suspicions and was without fear. In tho opinion many Salon was Iho serpent, transforming himself by his wiies. The Bible, male i such admissions. Who was Satan 1 It was hard to tell exactly; his whole history was vsgue and obscure.

Again, what was the origin of evil in the Isll of man Tho devil, not God, first Irought it about. When Eve sinned, the natural apiiotile, shown lu the eating of tho fruit, was not in itself wrong. ror wbb tno aeein: oi Kuowieago, nor tue Yielding to persuasion wicked, but tho guilt of that one act cousistid in. tho unbelief and disobodienco exhibited. The peculiar manner of the serpent iu his intercourse with Kvo was noticeable.

In the first place ho asked a question of Eve, that most powerful of arguments. He did not, therefor, commit himself, but threw tho other party into confusion, and shifted tho responsibility ou anothel'B shoulders This way ot patting a remark, in the form of a question, was a common one, aHd its antidote nas rotorting with questions. Soeondly, tbB denial of tho serpent, when ho said, "Yo shall not surely die," was at other of bie tricks. Denial always eomos after questions iu discussions anl in books. It was used til a elinchor after the previous demoralizition of the opposing pnily.

It was a gamo of "bluff." One way for those attacked, to meet it was by eonslantly asking questions. Thirdly, Satan made a hypothesis Uepietended that he waB ablo to tnlerpret tho meaning of God. Bold men wero very apt to make a successful uso of this last argumout. Eve's behavior during this moment of temptation, tho Bpeaker then dwelt upon. In her reply to tho dovll she showed a spirit of ingratitude.

When speaking ot tho fruit of which they could eat, she did not mention the generosity of her She also overrated the re striclicns in tho matter, and lowered her sanctions' by saying lest you die," instead of lest you surety die," Curiosity, desire, wilfulness, and disobedience wero all manifested in her conduct. Her showed how we could bo led gradually on, step by step, to tho commission of sin. After the dose of the discourse, the speaker was asked a lew questions abcut tho subject, which he answered readily and cheernilly. Tho meeting then adjourned. Temperance Public Meetins of Bronk.

lyn Division, No. 13, A public meeting of Brooklyn Division, No. of Temperance, was held last evening, at their spacious hall, ICO and ICS Fulton st. There was quito a largo attendance, tho ball, being well filled by an audience, who were greatly interested in tho exercises, The meeting was called to order by Brother H. R.

Davy, who made a few appropriate remarks, which were followed by a reading of a portion of the Scriptures, A temperance ode was then sung in an acceptable manner by choir formed ror the occasion, Dr E. H. Firth read a very carefully written essay on temperance, which illustrated, in thrilling terms, the curse of intemperance, and appealed to all to Join the ranks against tho Demon Alcohol. Dr. Firth was greeted with applause, at the conclusion, from his audience, who wero deeply interested in the essay.

Mr. Taylor favored the assembly with the ballad Beautiful Dreamer," sung In really a fine Ho was encored, and responded with, a pathetic ballad commencing "I'm lonely since my motht died." Tho most prominent feature of the entertainment, however, was an address delivered by Rev. fltepfien D. Brown, of the Bedford Street M. Churoh, Y.

The reverend gentleman, selected as bis subjeot a most appropriate ono, Dangers to the Young." He spoke ot the temptations to which the yonng oro exposed, and related several instances where youths had yielded, and after partaking of tho first glass sank, sink into I drunk, ard's grave. He discoursed on bis subject at considerable length, and retired having made' an evident impression on the minds or bis hearers. Mr. Brown wasiollowedin brief but eonelse addresaei from Rev. J.

Binuu; uuvsuiu ouuipigt, vuc 'rigio. 1 The london Saturday Iteviea in commenting upon the result of the eleotions held last month in this and other States of the Union, happily strikes the salient points of the fall political campaign in the following extract: "If the struggle bad Iain between the green and bine, faotious of tho Boman circnB, it could scarcely have been moro entirely unconnected with any practical Ueve, and even with any difference of opinion. Both parties proclaimed their nnqnaliflcd confidence in tho President, and their satisfaction that ho cordially shared their own peculiar convictions. The Republicans, indeed in some instances, thought it desirable to demand the trial and execution of the Confederate President, but in mosEof the constituencies, the tendency of feel incVas bo doubtful that the popular orators confined themselves to tho subjeot of Southern reconstruction. The little episodes of personal calumny were probably devised by the professional managers of elections.

In former times, it was a matter of course that a hostile candidate should be denounced as a swindler; but, since the war, it is easier, and more ptausMc, to asurt that he is a traitor. General Slooum, 'as tho Democratic nominee for the offloe of Secretary of State, was perhaps accused of, stealing cotton only because he had Btrvcd with credit in tho war, so that he could scarcity be represented as a supporter of the rebellion. On tho whole, as tho Captain' of Knockdunder said," tho election was at harmonious as ould be expected, considering that one party was clamoring for the Democrats and the other sboutinp. for the Republicans. Tho upshot of Ihe whole was, 'God save M'Cailum orin the present case, unlimited confidence in tliePro.idcnt.

Tho internal divisions of the successful party will probably become more apparent now that the victors havo loUuro to quarrel among themselves. Neither the Radicals nor tho moderate Republicans could afford to publish their differences before tho State elections, but the mooting of Conpress will necessarily teat tho sincerity of many vague professions." Evidently the iiCi'icio has not the very highest opinion of tho "political managers," but it will hardly be prepared, in the face of the profession of the Republican lenders, of being tho only supporters of President Johnson's policy, for tho sudden flip flap of tho the political taanagcrs of that party Congress. Ctjitino' Down. Tho commendable course of the government in cutting down expenses, has resulted necessarily in cases of individual hardship. Thousands of men have been mustered out of the civil and military service, who not unnaturally feel bad on losing comfortable places, and remunerative employment.

The proposition to muster out of service the Veteran Reservo Corps, met with the approval of the privates, but tho officers, who bad a more desirable position, objected, and they indueod Gen. Schenck a fit representative of such a scheme jto introduce a resolution in tho House directing the HYar Department not to muster theso men out at present. It is now stated that the workmen recently discharged from the Navy Yard are trying to get their case brought before Congress in hopes that they may be restored to their old positions. It is reported that a New York member of Congress has interested himself in this matter and will bring it before the House. We can fully sympathise with the workmen who have been thrown out of employment at this season of the year, but their dismissal was unavoidable.

'With tho close of the war tho Navy Department ceased to require the the amount of labor needed during the war. The men wero discharged because there was no work for them to do. It is the duty of the Government, in view of our enormous debt and burelensome taxation, to reduce expenses as much as p'ossiblo, and that involves the discharge of all employes whose services are no longer needed. Some hun dreds of thousands of soldiers have boon mus tere'd out of the service since last Spring, and have been left to seek a living wherever they could earn it; theso brave fellows have quietly dropped into the ranks of labor, and We hear no complaints from them. It is the few thousand well paid'eivihans, who, when their turn comes to be mustered out, make all the outcry and petition Congress to savo them their places.

The following, from a cotemporary, affords a lair idea of the radical view of representative government: "How would the people of tho Stato of Now York like to seo Roer I'ryor as renresentitlvo of ono of their districts iu Congress? This notorious flro eator and rebel is icsident of Now York city, whero ho has been oumilted to practice ia the Courts; if not pardoned already, under tho policy pardons, which lias been adopted there can bo no serious difScul in the way of his getting a pardon and thore are two or tlin districts in the cily either of which would bo capable ot rcfiu'uing him it ho should oifor himself as a candidate. The case is not impossible iu which nothing but ihe test oath could save tho great, free, and in tdon'. lovimr Empire State liom the disgrace of bi ing piceeijU'd iu Congress by a blatant Ure eater, an original siccKiiunist, a rebel legislator and a soldier, thou3h cowaidlv or.e, agaiuBt tho Uni iu." In the opinion of the above writer it is evident Itat Pryor's chief offonco is that be is resorting to tho practice ot his profession ia New York to earn a living for himsolf dud his family. It might suit our modem human itiirians better if those who wero lately in rebellion eschewed honest labor for tho future and roamed about the country disaffected, and inciting disaffection in others. It is hard to please our radical fnene's; they "pilch'into" tho Southern people because the; do not woik, as alleged; when ono of them proposes to labor it is deemed in order to throw all tho obstacles pof siblo in his way.

There may or may not bo Congressional districts iu New York that desire Pryor lor a rcpieseiitative in Congress, because of tho sympathy of a majority of their people with the late' rebellion. As wo are not accustomed to slander our people, we dismiss this assertion as tho calumny a man with weak Lead and a bad hoait. But if, for the sake of argument, wo admit that Prior could represent correctly the voters of tho majority of one of the New York districts, then we hold that Pryor is tho proper man. for the position. Disaffection to the Government, if it exists, is not removed by being silenced it is rendered harmless by being dragged into the daylight.

A member ot Congress has prepared an amendment to the Constitution that hereafter the United States shall guarantee to every mau "the pursuit of happiness." This is a big job for the government to undertake. Not to be outdono iu folly by this specimen of statesmanship, Mr, Henderson, of Oregon, yesterday offered a resolution declaring "that treason against the United States is a crime and ought to be punished." In tho faco of the fact that one or two hmidred'thousand men in the South have been killed for resorting to treasonable practices, and that that region has been blasted by a war agaiost treason, this resolution is something more than childish. SrBinrE Impudence. One of the confederates of the notorious Davenport Brothers, named Pay, who performed with them in the private seances, in this city," and afterwards gave publio and private exhibitions here on his own account, has turned up New York in a new role. Finding that the spiritualism dodgo was played out, Fay has turned States' evi.

deuce, and is to give public exhibitions of how the tricks wero done to show the oredulous how they wtre humbugged by himself and other pretended mediums. People will no doubt go to see Fay, and he will probably make as much money by showing the people what fools thoy were and what a cheat he was, as ho did. in in tho practice of his deceptions.

The hearing of the evidenoe in this extraordinary case wss continued yesterday afternoon, when the following additional testimony was taken: Dr. Sticiney recalled When I was called, to see this girl on the 80th ot June lasi.I told her what hor condition was Q. What reply did she make? Objected to.

the objection was not sustained, and the wltneBa then went on to relate In detail the story told him by the complaining witness, as to the circumstances under whiob she yielded to tbo prisoner, The story was iu all respects similar to that told by the girl herself on the wit ness stand. J. B.

S(r tcoirB. o'd No. 153 FtlU'ON STUEUT, new No Jd do: from Sands treat. Reconstrnction id Consres Mr. Humphrey's Voir.

Mr. Stephens, of Pennsylvania, it will be lememuerc before the organization of 'Congress, succeeded in securing the approval of the Republican caucus to a resolution appoint ing a joint comniitteo of both Houses, to which alt papers relating to the admission Representatives from the Southern States, should be referred without debate, and, providing further, that no member shall be ad "mittcd from either of tho so called States "until Congress shall declare such States or "either of them eutil 'oil to representation." Under this lesohition, tho Committee is to consist of nine members of the House and sin of the Senate. Inasmuch as it is within the power ot the nine members of the House to outvote the six members of the Sauato ar tie tho hands of ibc latter borJy the resolution is clearly unconstitutional, for it denies to the' Senate the power to judge of the of its own members. This objection ooul not be obviated by providing, as wa3 proposed in the Senate, that tho Committeo should consist of an equal number of the members of both Houses, because in that event the vote of one Senator would give a majority to the Committee of the House, or the hands of the House might bo tied by one of its members on tho Committee voting with the members of the Senate Committee. Under such a proceeding neither house could be insured tho exercise of its constitutional privilege of judging of the qualification of its own members.

The resolution passed tho House once, but ihe Senate refused to concur in it as reported, and yesterday the resolution came up again ia the House. A Republican member from this State (air. Davis) vonturod to say that ho had a constitutional objection to tue 1 solution. The loader of tho radicals, Mr. Stevens, piomptly rebuked bis too timid colleague by declaring that at present the House had "nothing to do uith the CunslituHon!" Mr.

Davis reiterated his objoc 'tion and Stevens promptly called him to order. Constitution or no Constitution, the radicals aie detcrmked to. have their way. it is disorderly in the Congress of the United States to appeal to the Constitution! Under the operation of the previous question the resolution wa3 iorced through, but twenty Republican members of the House refused to obey the crack of Mr. Stevens' radical whip, and voted with the Democratic minority.

Among the Republicans who voted against the resolution is Mr. Humphrey, of this district. Mr. Humphrey, we believe, in his vote has fairly represented the great majority of his constituents, for in the most rowdy political caucus ever 'held in Brooklyn, it would never have been safe to speak of tho Constitution of our country as the Republican leader of the House ot Representatives did yesterday. It is ndticable that Mr.

Raymond's uame is found in the list of the members who voted against the resolution, as arq also those of Messrs Davis, Darling and Griswold all Republican members from this State. It is evident that the majority is yielding to tho steady persistency of the President, backed up as it is by the power of public opinion. The radical leader is evidently losing his hold on tho moro moderate) Republicans, and it only needs an esplictf declaration on tho part of the President that those who are not with him are against him, to secure in the House that majority which it requires to consuniate tho good work oi restoring the Union at an curly day. Inipoitisiit Disputch. from President Joiinatii'.

The more extreme iu (bo inter ist of the Republican party almost daily asseverate that President Johnson's plan of reconstruction, is a fciluve, and iu taunting tone daro tho President to deny thiir asseriions. Indirectly the President has replied to their declaration i.i p. dispatch addressed to Provisional Governor Johusnr, of Georgia, as follows: YfASillKOTOIT, Dec. II The Gt il( ci will be inaugurated, which will iif.inittrnie Willi tne Provieiotial UouTuor. lui will mn're int lructhits in a Jin day; regard to bei.vj rt tiered.

Why can't ou elect a I issue ions to Mi ii bf of leave that to Hit incoiu hij Governor lit are obligations to yon Jur lie nr.l.'f, yiicieiil mid patriotic manrtr in which ynu lw of Provisional Governor, and Hat viil iKthstiiinti lU Government. lnoscxi Jouhsox, President. indicative I' the President's future action this dispatch is very important. Bj recognizing the Governor elected by ttie people of Georgia, as the President promises to do within a lew days, ho will concede" the full restoration oi Georgia to her old position within the Union. It is not to bo supposed that the President, while urgirg Georgia to promptly elect a Senator to represent her in the Congress of the United States, intends to remain passive while the Senator elected at his urgent request, shall remain vainly knocking at the door ot the Senate chamber.

In intimating that the credentials of the representatives elected to Congress had better bo left to be signed by the legally elected Governor, the President plainly takes tho ground that the members elect will be accepted by him as the constitutional representatives of Georgia, and finally in thanking the Provisional Governor for his noble, efficient and patriotic efforts" in opening tho.way for the restoration of the Union, tho President declares that his plan to restore tho Union has not failed. There were difficulties in the way of auy plan which might havejjbeen devised for the restoration of the States lately in rebellion, but we believe the President's plan has proved by its work, ings that it is eminently wise and practical, and that it deserves and will receivo the almost unanimous support of the people1, On all tho earth to day there is no man's life so precious as that of Andrew Johnson's. Ho stands the accepted mediator between two great sections, ejther of which, has a nation's EtreDgthior good or evil. It is no wonder the people look on delay with anxiety when such contingencies depend on the frail tenor of one man's life. A race between two first elass ocean steamers has been arranged to come off next week.

The competitors are the "Santiago do Cuba" and the "New York," both of which are to bo dispatched fiom New York for Central America on Wednesday at noon. The Pacifie Mail Steamship Company, to whom the latter vessel belongs, have reduced their rate" for steerage passengers and their opponents, tho Central American Transit Company, express their intention to reduco iheir rate still lower. The Newloik Tribune says: "Great interest is "manifested in tho result of the ooming race, 'as the New York is considered the fastest "vessel of the line, The agent of the Santiago de Cuba feels confident, hoffover, that his "vessel can win. This is a good chance for a "cheap passago to California." Possibly the passengers may go further than Californio and fare worse. If this foolish rivalry should end in sending some of the passengers to whom this "good chance" is offered to a warmer climate than California, it ITOlUti noljody.

The flrst not oponB in tho council chamber of the King of Portugal, with Inez (Mllo Ortolani) and Anna, (Mdme.

Inez has Just been summoned by her father to attend tho council, and gives way to her love for Vasco in au aria, "Deo Tago Spoude addio," which drew a round of applauso. Mllo.Onto lani baB a pure soprano and pleasing, but of litlle power. In the next eceno sho ia informed of tho death of Vasco and her betrothal to Don Pedro, and tho council assembles to notify the betrothal, but ia tho midst of tho preparations, Vasco arrives in poison, bringing with bim tho slaves Selika (lime. Zucohl) and Nelueko, (Signor Bellini,) whom ho introdu es to the couucil, claiming that their appearanco proves tho existencooi a new world, and asking means to.

The council scorn his opinions, Ho burls doflan.ee at them, and iB thrown into tho Inquisition, while Don Pedro seizes his plans and papers, and prepares to make the expedition and reap the glory himsolf. A prayer, for bass voices, "Iu che la terra adora," sung by the Inquisitors, aud a magnificent chorus, in syncopated time, close the act, In tho second act, Yosco, with Selika and Nelusco, ate discovered in tho prison of the Inquisition. Nelueko, who loves Selika, jealous of ber paesion for Va6co, attempts to kill him as ho sleepB, but is prevented by Selika, who imparts to Vasco tho Bocret of the location of tho new land, and ho, in transport ot the discovery, clasps her to his arms, and at thts mornont Inez. attended by.Don Pedro and others, cbmo iu, with a pardon for Vasco.

Inez accuses him of unfaithfulness, and he, to prove the contrary, gives both Selika and Ne lusko to her. Tho most effective gem in the scone is a splendid quintette, with whiob tho act closes. Tho third act opens with au elaborate sea view, representing the aft section of a ship, the cabins and entrance and the quarter deck abovo, with tho mlzzen mast, sails, and nearly approaching in appearance to reality as' possible; groups ot sailors aro congregated on tho quarter deck; Inez, now tho wife of Don Pedro, surrounded by. her maids, sits embroidering in front of one of the cabins, while Don Pedro is in the other examining' his charts and maps, Au opening chorus of sailors, buo oecded by a "prayer," irere very effective. The ship is that of Don Pedro, who is Bcekiog the new land.

Ne lusko iB pretending to guide him towards his destination, persuades him to steer towards his own country, and in the meantime a storm begins to rise, during whiob another ship is seen in the distance and a boat puts off ior Don Pedro's ship, and Vasco di Goma suddenly appears on deck. Ho tries to persuade Don Pedro that he stcoring wrong, but is mado a prisoner and ordered to be ehot. Whllo tho sailors are about to carry out the orders of Don Pedro, the Btorru suddenly rises iu fury, and the Ehip ia wreckid ou a reef and surrounded by hostile Indians, who take the passengers and sailors captive, The scene in ihe lourth and fifth acts is laid in tho the tropical Island over which Soiika reigns, as queen, and Vesco and Inez prisoners. Vasco 1b condomned to ho killed, but Is eaved by Selika, and in gratitude to her ho proposes marriego and Is acceptod, but just after tho ceiemcny ho bears Ihe voice of Iuez, whom he had supposed dead, but who Is bfwg loi to the sacriflco and al1 hiB old love comeB bock. Selika, at first, detormino3 to kill both, but repents and allows them to depart from ibc ialan.d, whilo fakes polsou and dicn as Uio last signal gun of the departing vessel is hoard.

The principal gems iu those acts are on aria, "Oh Eideute Suol," irg by Vasco, another, Ah niio ponar da fine," by Nelusco, and a splendid ohorus aud ballot.
