RICHARDSON, Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury, will arrive here in the early train on Thursday morning, and take charge of the Treasury Department on Friday, on which day Secretary Boutweil will leave here tor Massachusetts. THE INTERNAL REVENUE officials are consol- idating the divisions of the assessors’ districts throughout the country, and dispensing with the services of assistant assessors as fur as pos- sible inorder to reduce the cost of collecting the revenue. _ NERAL WILLIAM S. HILLYER, of New York, formerly of General Grant's staff, sailed Saturday as the bearer of a special message re- lating in part to Cuban affairs, and to our minis- ters in London, Paris, Berlin and Madrid. So says a New York dispateh. ADHERENCE TO THE DECLARATION OF Panis ‘The following was received here last evening by cable. To Fish, Washington :—Official notice (has been giver) that France, in the present war, adheres to the Declaration of Paris, as well in regard to the United States as other Powers. Especially Prussian property in American bot toms respected, unless contraband, and Ameri- can property in Pruasian bottoms respected. [Signed] Wasuecrye, Paris. THE Practice Suir.__Commander S. P. Car- ter, commanding the practice ship Savannah, with the midslupmen trom the Naval Ac on board, reports his arrival at Plymouth. land, on the 12th of July, 2:4 days from the Virginia capes. All well on board except Mid- shipman Francis Yeavie, who had been con- demned by a medical survey and ordered to re- turn home. ug WEDDING oF PROMINENT ARTISTS.—The New York Mail says: We have been informed, through a heretofore always trustworthy source, of aremarkably quiet and unpretending mar- riage which took place on ihe Lith inst. at Port- land Me. The contracting parties were two of our prominent public artists, Signor Brignoli and Miss McCulloch. We give the new asit comes to us, and are disposed to believe in its correctness. Tue NicaRAGvaA Exryprric jongress, at thelate session, appropriated $30,000 for an examination and survey, under the direction of the President, of the routes of Nicaragua and ‘Tehuantepec, in order to ascertain the practi- eability of a ship-canal at these places, be- tween the Atlantic and Pacitic oceans. It is un- derstood that Captain Shufeldt wi!l command the expedition, to be titted out in August and leave in September. ‘THE ALASKA FUR SEAL ConTRact.—Secre- tary Boutwell this morning ruled out the bid of Jon Barnett for the right to catch tur seals in Alaska, on the ground that he had not been en_ gaged in the business. John M. Davidson, of this city, withdrew his bid, leaving the contest among six bidders; and it is probable that <ome of these will be ruled out on account of inexpe- rience in the business. The contract will be award: .| this week. Logs HE AccerT on Deciine ?—Washington correspondents assert positively that Mr. Fre- linghuysen, during his visit to the President at Long Branch, last week, formally accepted the mission to England, and signitied his intention to sail about the tirst of September. On the other hand, it i- rumored here to-day that he declines on the grourl that any eflorts to reach a settlement of the Alabama claims will result unsatistactorily, and permanently injure the person counected with the failure. Cor. Donn Piart, who took part in the battle of Ball Kun, has been revisiting the battle tield and writes some interesting reminiscences of that famo’ ntlict. He expresses the opinion that Irwin McDowell, who planned this cam- paign. and fought the battle that ended it, was, next to Genera! George IH. Thomas, the most capable officer of the regular army. While the public wit! probably be not quite willing to accept this estimate of McDowell's military capacity, there is no doubt a wide-spread fecling that he has scant justice tor ability and patrioticm.

They will commence with the armory at Springtield, Mass., and go through the entire list. ‘The 5; retary of War is anxious to familiarize himself with the condition of these establishments, so that in his next annual report Le may be able to speak of them intelligently. Some improye- ments have bce) boas aa in tie manufacture of arms which have been under consideration by the Orduance Department. ‘The Secretary, during his tour, willeaamine these personally. his return Belknap propores lis home i and willremain for about six weeks.

After the an nouncement Of the existence of such a remark- able document, it would be the daty of F. and Prussia immediately and spontaneous explain the matter to Europe. Disraeli, in the House of Commons to-night, after questioning the foreign office in regard to the reported treaty, denounced the government for withhotding the correspondence on the sub- ject. He declared England could never have tolerated such a proposition. ‘The extinction ot the Kingdom of Belgium would be a calamity to Europe. He hoped the government would give ail the particulars. Mr. Gladstone said he was sorry the papers were not ready for submission, and that he was unable to give the information required, or explain how the project became public. | [ts purport certainly was astounding.

The greater por- tion of the garrison of Va.ladolid has been sent tothe frontier to guard against Carlist irrap- tions in that quarter, but as Don Carlos has of fered to serve in the French army, it is prob- able that the orders for a rising, which are known to have been isued, have been counter- manded. ‘The Curlist chieftains are incensed agaist Don Carlos, and think of selecting as another candidate for the throne his brother, who is now serving im Kome a a Pontitical zouave.

He was allowed to inspect Fort St. Quintin under the guidance of an officer, and ful! information was furnished him. ‘The tort is to be completed in twenty-four hours: sixty cannon are being placed in position.

The guns of these forts can play with tremendous effect on any enemy that may advance through the valley to attack the town, while in the valley there is ample shelter for a whole army, guarded on one side by the guns of the town and on the other by the guns of the forts. Officers at the torts did not expect to leave for the frontier in less time thaneight days. A cup tain in the Prussian engineer corps had just ar- rived in the fort as a spy. Marshal Bazine was in Metz.” The horses be- longing to mexabers of bis staff were kept dled and standing before the hotel, but no had yet been made. Great difficulty was ex; rienced in getting supplies torward, not only from Paris, but trom the country about Metz, nging to the inhabitants hav- ing been seized, and even meat and vegetables are beginning to fail. This indicates that the French movement may be still some time de- layed. MOVEMENT OF PRUSSIAN TROOPS.

A RATCH OF RUMORS, Information from various sources strengthens he impression that the Praxsians will retire to the Rhine. No restriction has been placed by the government on telegraplue correspondence, with the single exception that the transmission of dispatches in cypher is prohibited. The E-mperor has proposed to adhere to the stipula- tions of the Geneva Conference for a mitigation of the horrors of war. Prussia has not yet con cinded. Admiral Bouet Willanmez has made the Surveillante his tiagship. Each regiment of infantry is supplied with 530,000 cartridges. General Baraguny D'diilliers has been placed in command of Paris.

Imrrovine Tux Ever or THE Navy.— “Zeta” of the Baltimore Sun says: ‘The admin- istration has come to the conclusion that it is best to put the Navy on something of a war footing. Acccrdingly orders have been issued to the Portsmouth. Charlestown, Philadelphia and Brooklyn yards to hasten with all possible «J the completion and repair of every vessel Which can be placed in commission within a reasonable time. This order, it promptly carried out, will enable the Department to reinforce the European s;uadron with half a dozen efficient vessels in two or three months. The limit fixed by Congress for the enlistment or seamen has been filled, but the naval authorities here think that the number should be incressed to fourteen thousand men. This cannot well be done, however, the absence of legislation. ‘The second-class crew steamer California, the rourth-class screw steamer Ni uns, and the Illinois, also seeond class, are fitting out at the Portsmouth (N. H.) yard: Atthe Charlestown yard the new second-class screw steamer Worcester, 15 guns, is to be fitted out with all pessible dispatch. The © cut, 17 guns, and the Pennsylvania, 21 guns, are on the stocks, and the Ni: , Shenandoah and ‘Ticonderoga are being repaired at this yard. At the Brookivn vard two new vessels are all ready torsea, and only await stores and crew, while orders haye been given to tit out every available ship with all possible haste. At Philadelphia the Brooklyn will be ready for sea by the middle of next month. Citicers have been ordered to her. Congress cut down the esti- mates of the Secretary ot the Navy very materi- ally for the present fiscal year, and consequent- ly the department is restricted in its appropria- tions. The very remote fear of complication< resulting trom the present European situation seems to turnish the only reason for this some- what unusual activity at the naval stations. - a ee Tre Hearth or N aroreon.— Paris cor respondent of the New York Evening Post, re terring to the health of the Emperor Napoleon, states that the phrsician of bis imperial highnes- res him to be an“‘impossible’”’ patient, who Iways in such a hurry to get well that his convalesence is retarded by his efforts to help nature in doing more than the doctors prescribe At onetime, in the midst of a severe attack of the gout, he was found by his attendants, ap- plying lighted Incifer matehes to the soles of his feet as counter-irritants. At another, when troubled with a headache, he put so mach emetic ointment on the nape of his neck that Was blistered down te,his shoulder blades. ‘i have overdone it, doctor,” he said, in reply to a remoustrance of the latter, ‘‘and it is all very well for you tosay J hb: better wait for y: but you I haven't time to be sick.
