LEGATION OF FRANCE TO THE UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, 4th August. 1966. Mr. SECRETARY oF STATE:—The grave events which are passing in Europe may have caused fear that the Universal Exposition of 1*67 would be retarded. In France public no- tuces im the Wenifeur have reassu! opinions no relaxation has been manifested in the la bors of the committees on admission; the ex- hibitors continue their preparations, and the buildings on the Champ de Mars are carried on with activitv. In a word, everything in- duces the anticipation that the exposition will be completely ready by the Ist of April, 1367. it would be regretable that in foreign ceun- tries there shonid exist any uncertainty as to the time of the opening of the exposition, and that in consequence preparatory measures should be suspended. the Minister of State Vice President of the Imperial Commission, has lately expressed to the Minister for For- eign Affairs of the Emperor, the wish that the various States that are to participate iu this solemnity may be informed of the intentions of the Government of the Emperor. Until now, however, no lack of persistence bas occurred to the Imperial Commission, even on the part of Governments engaged in war, Mr. Rouher adds that in case some country should find itself prevented from as- sisting, the Imperial Commission could not for that cause adjourn the opening of the exposi- tion, because one ef its first duties is to protect the interests of the subscribers to the capital guaranteed: those of the French exhibitors who have imposed sacrifices on themselves in view of the meeting im 1567; those, in fine, of the adventurers who have made considerable appropriations for the continnance of the works begun. 1am in consequence instry r. Secre- tary of State,to make known to your Excel. Jency that the inauguration of the exposition at Paris continues to be unals ly fixed for the ist of April next, and to express to you at the same time the intereet which the Govern. ment of the Emperor will eb toh notice made know, bot merely tw th Committee, but also to may reside in the Tnited § oO Hon, Wiiiiay H.

Independent Tue Boston Convention.—The Faneuil Hall convention to elect delegates to the Phila. dejpbia conyenuion was attended by 1,7>i dele- gaies from 117 cities and towns. Hon. Everett Saltonstall, wno presided, made the introductory speech, in which he urged that ull time had come for the people of Massa- chusetts to show their disapproval of the mea- sures ef the disorganizing Congress. He pre- Gicted that ifthe question of restoration was left unsettled another year a civil war would be precipitated, not between State and State, butin the North between individuals. The Reconstruction Committee had buried the hopes of patriotic citizens, but the Na. tional Union Conyention would resurrect them. Speeches were made by General Swift, R. §S. Spotford, Colonel J. H. Wright, and otmers. The Committee on lutions, ef which Charles Levi Woodbury was chairman, re- ported a short series of resolutions, proelaim- ing whe imperative duty of every citizen, irre- spective of party relations, to lay aside all former differences of opimion and unite for the common welfare with the good citizens from every other part of the country. To this end the son vention sends its tings and sympa- thies to the National Union Convention in Philadelphia. ‘The last resolution reads as follows: That the proposed convention in Philadel. phia on the 14th inst., by adopting ana sus- taining the restoration policy of the President, will afford a good promise of the best beneti- cial results in the settlement of the political condition of the cou FUNANCIAL. tock market exhibits a sharp reactionary movement after the late de- ression.

Everything promisesa happy tu- ture jor Prussia, as an honerabie and lasting peace is imminent.’ The King im person opened the Prussian Chambers yesterday.

Soyal gentlemen 0 both bouses of the Diet, my Government is able to look with satistaction upon the financial | position of the State. Caretul forethought and conscientious economy have placed it im a position to o come the great financial difli- culties which have resulted as a natural con- sequence from the circumstances of the prese ume. Although a material outlay was imposed upon the treasury during recent years by the war with Denmark, it has been found possible vo meet the expenses hitherto mecurred in the Pht War irom the State revenue and exist noes, Without imposing any other bur- den upon the country than that of furnishing supphes in kind for war purposes. That it is bound vo provide by law.” By Steamer. The London Star of July 26. announcing the reception of a delegation from the Reform League by the Home Secretary, observes that the League has “won a splendid moral vic- tory.” At the conference between the leaguers and the Secretary, some very plain talk was in- dulged in. The deputation consisted of Mr. Edmond Beales, president of the teagne: Lieut. Col. Dickson. Capt. Wallbouse, and Messrs. G. Brooke, J. Baxter Langley, J. Cunnington, Edwm Arnold, G. J. Holyoake, G. Davis, G Odgers, G. Howell, secretary to the league, J. B. Leno, and J. Merriman. Mr. Beales frankly informed the that further disturbances were to be appre- bended unless the Government yielded, and requested Mr Waipole to facilitate legal - ceedings for the purpose of having the tof the people to meet in the public parks “quick- ly and judicially decided.” in the expressions Mr. Beales was sustained by the other members of the deputation. Mr. Walpole replied by insis' that the parks were not the piaces for public discus- sions, but added that the Government would inter ohh ed to a speedy legal decision of Yarly the same evening an informal meeting of the ponds of the League was beld in Hyde Park. The police aid not interfere: sey- eral workipgmen made speeches. The crowd was large, but no disturbance took place. At a late hour a messenger arrived, and said tha: Mr. Beales, the president of the League, and Colonel Dickson had arrived in the centre of the park, and would tell them that they had waited upon the representative of the Govern- ment, and that he had granted permission for holding the meeting on Monday next, and thar no display of either military or police should be made on the occasion. Loud cries of “The white feather ” The whole assembly then adjourned te Nr. Beales’ meet DEATH OF Five PERxson® 1x a FAMILY OF Six—A VERY STRANGE Story —ln the south- ern section of the city five deaths eccurred a few devs since in one The members were taken suddenly ick and died t tume. A-sixth, and we believe the vor ofthe household, was seriously affected, but is thought that she will recover. A re- port that cholera bad broken out in the neigh - borbood suddenly, and that five in a family of six persons had died during the same night, rather alarmed the people residing in the vi- cinity. From what we can learn of this mys- terions visitation it seems the family composed Of six persons, indulged in sailing on the la- ware. It wasa pleasare trip. While the yacht was undereasy sail, a few miles below the city, & large bundle that appeared to be pretty well filled with clothing was discovered flogt- ing on the surface of the stream. The boat was steered towards it. and one of the women desired to take it on board. ob. ted, Supposing that it might be iafectious. he woman prevailed: the bundle was taken on board and remained there during the trip. Whether it was removed to their mace, or cast into the river again, we did not learn. The party were taken sudaeniy with violent retching, and fever immediately Death resnited im a short time, the bodies of the deceased assuming a dark purpie hue, as though the blood had congested just under or in the skin. 1f these deaths occurred from cholera, then it may be calculated with disease some degree of certainty that the was communicated by the bundle of clo: atore- said. Several years since it wasa pretty well ascertained fact that diseased beds and cloth- ing were thrown into the Delaware Bay from emigrant ships, and the vessels were cleansed as much as possible, so as to inspection juarantine. Emigrants and crews, unless d ly sick. are not apt to give any idea of the previous condition of the vessel, because they are always anxious to reach their desti- nation. Jt may be that the bundie which caused the deaths above was thrown into the river from some vessel that passed we quarantine, or it might have been thrown overboard some nt on the shore of the river to be awa: the ebbing tide.— Phila.

An informal meeting of ¢ be number and seven’ te deporte the pi considered the inembers, one hundred and filty being the whole -#1X & quOTEM, proceeded it of the convention, who seen the Presiden! protem. convening the con = to meeLon the 30th of July and directing his Excellency the Governor of the State to seve writs of election to fill vacancies. So tar the whole matier was jae works ag barmless experiment, though miscbief was in- fenced, the people being confident that the Governor would not condescend to notice this Proclamation, and that, in case the convention should commit any act of interterence, be vane : once bave it ai Vafortu- nately, however, after a i of nearly & month. the Governor inened write of ‘lection to fil up fifty-one vacancies m that body. This document, to which the Secretary of State refneed to give bis attestation onder the seal of State, was issued under the aitestation of the private secretary of the Governor. The people of the State became alarmed, when po doubt could be entertained as to the fact that (beir chief magistrate bad given willing aid and Sevisiapee io subvert the government, the preservation of which was especially entrest- ed to his keepiog. On Friday, the 27th of July, a large meeting ‘was beld in the hall of the House of Represen- tAtives, professedly for the advecacy of uni- Yereal suffrage, bat im reality to reorganize for the meeting of convention op the Mon- @ny tollowimg. The object ofthe meeting was toexche the passions and prejudices of the colored population, to as to make them the ‘ims of ariot, by urging them headlong toaconflict with the State and municipal anthorities, On the other hand we were determined to pre- vent riot and bloodshed by pursuing such « course as would baffie the nefarious caleula- tions of those agitators from New Orleans. Our remedy, and the only remedy, by recourse to the usual process of law, and even then to proceed in such manner as to fas- ten opon them the responsibilities of al] colli- sion whatever. The case was submitted to the grand jury by the Arto General, and in the weapltime tbe Lieutenant Governor and the Mayor called upon General Baird to ascer- tain whetber, 1! a warrant, issued upon a reg- ular ind:ctment, were placed in the hands of the sheriff for the arrest of the members of the con vVenuon, the military wonld interfere. The answer was that the sheriff himself would be arrested, and that the convention, meeung peaceably, could not be interfered with by the officers of the law. It is proper here to state that the mayor had previously addressed a note to General Baird, quiring whether be would be interfered with by the military in case he would proceed to disperse the convention as an unlawful as- ge. The answer to this commanicauon tbat the meeting of the convention, being Pr could not be suppressed by the that the military authorities interference of the civil yy the Lieuten- ity autborities under Nid not intend ter- ting of the conventior nm case & Warrant of the bands of the sberit, pe muvor, snd fere to prevent th But be proposed that 1 mpting to execute it, would call on the General, who thereupon would encorse bis objections, and the matter j i | would at once be submitted tothe Presiden: This arrangement was satisfactory to both parties. On the caine oy. the Attorney Gen- eral and the Lieutenant Governor telegraphed to the President, to ascertain whether the pro- cese @1 the court 'o arrest the members of the convention conld be thwarted by the military. The answer was expected to sustain the court. On Sunday, the 2th, the State and muni- cipal authorities called upon the President to vise the ple as to the conduct to be beld the rext day so as toavoid all collision ana riot, and the mayor issued his prociama- tien to the same effect. The the cit, ‘with the exception of the ical organ, ga. wise and salutary counsels to the people, in- ig all good citizens to avoid congregating abeut the capitol, and to dGemean themselves With prudence and discretion. On the morning of the 30th the Lieutenant Governor called upon Gen. Baird to commu- Bicate to him the Pi esident's despatch, and also inquired of the geperal if he would not have some im the vicinity of the hall to pre- serve and good order. Gen. Baird an- swered that spplication had been made by the members of the convention. The suggestion was then made that to have too large 8 police force on the spot might be construed as meant to overnwe the members, and inasmuch as the civil authorities did not intend interfering with the convention until instrucuons were received from the Premdent, as above agreed upon, it was proper to have treops to co-operate with asmail police force to preserve peace, and to preventall possible attemapts to bring about a collision. This sug- gestion met the approyal of the general, who then stated that he would immediately give orders to have the troops in readiness fore | the end of the interview it was again agreed n between Ger. Paird and the Lien:enan: Governor that whatever,warrant of arres: | might be placed inthe Bands of the sberitt | wou.d te submitted to him before any attemp | tobave itexented should be made. and tha: upon the endorsement of the general's otec- hone the matter wonld be referred to the Pres- ident. The ms bemg informed of this ar- | rangement, cent but a small police force to the tty of the bal), and the freops that were conjunction with the police were formation having reached the Fovernor that in the third distric: there was 2 commencement of effervescence, end that a large numter of negroes were com- ing towards Canal street trom above and be- low. he immediately sent a despateh to the general -onveying this intelligence, and urging that the troops be sent without delay. About one hour afterwards the riot broke out, ending in the dispersion of the convention and the capture of the rioters, including sey- eral members of this body. It ts not our pur- pore to argne the question of facts as to the actual commencement of the collision, and fix precisely the mode and manner, and where i: started. We will, bowever, remark that the collision was brought avout by the armed mob sustaining the convention. Suffice it to say that the civil authorities took all the precan- Uons possible to prevent the outbreak: tha: they applied during three Gays previous to have the military to preserve order at the place where the convention was to meet: tha: the authorities, State and municipal, came to an understanding to act im concert with the military for that purpose; that the citizens, no more than the . contemplated preventing the convention from bolding their meeting im i and adjourning and d ‘ing unmo- ted: and that the warrant their arrest would bave nos be pm = to the mili , as agreed upon, although President's dispatch to the Lieutenant Governor and the subee- qvent one tethe Attorney General, was im- Tative, that the military must not thwar: eral and she Lieutenant aay ‘with 8 view be eR. the ‘< 5 efforts unsuccessful and could not counteract the incendiary counsels and ap- 48 of thore who for sinister purposes had ad in view this very result in order to reap a iteal harvest. That the civil authorities ave done their duty in this respect is t. That more could have been done by is impossible, as they were notallowed to remove the cause of the riot by taking proper means to prevent tbe meeting of the convention, and we coubt not for 4 moment that the military com- manger bimse!f will be the first to corroborate these facts, and arrest all calomnious imputa- tions agamsi the conduct of our people under there ying circumstances. As regards the proclamation of martial jaw. the least that cam be said is that it was inop- portune, as the rivting had ceased completely, bet agen being masters of the situation. spate | Titec dtograovtul ceases. mana participa in and the freedmen im the vicinity of the riot wer» standing as lookers on, withent bted, = fod gexeral cittzens were either or wi by (bem, although the con- ‘WSs over in less than two hours.
