EUROPE. nnn Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, April 10, 1351. The Presidents Prospects under the New Ministry— Swrmises—The National Assembly—The Vacation — Socialism and Legitimacy — Lamartine — M. Teste’s Case — Expedition agaist the Arabs — Spain—The Emperor of Austria, §¢., &c. ‘The steeple chase of Louis Napoleon, the stakes of which are a new ministry, still continues. It ‘was rumored, during the last days, that the Bona- partists and logitimiets had united to help Louis Napoleon—that Mesers. Benoist d’Avsy and de Crousoilhes, the leaders of tho logitimist party, had consented to form a part of tho cabinet; but this has been denied. This morning, I am told that the new ministry is deeidedly formed, “and will appear in to-morrow’s Bfonitewr, #0 that you will publish the list before my letter is put in type. Itis to be hoped that this state of things will fon have an end, for the whole country isin a great excitement. Whilst theso manoeuvres are used by the Elysée, emissaries are sent among the ouvriers to obtain their approbation and to induce them te rank in the party of Bonapar- tists. Poverty {s extreme in the suburbs of Paris; and the persons who are at the head of the propaganda, represent to the workmen that the only way to find an end to their misery, is to vote in favor of the prorogation. They also say that if the President has not yet put into practice | all the brilliant theories which he has invented and | yublished in his works, it is only because he has been prevented by the ill wishes of the A but should he be elected for the ten yea: the people will become happy and rich T's ill | become the land beloved by gods and men. Dospite | all these promises, the workmen, who prefer a “bird in the hand to two in the bush,” are not much in favor of the prorogation. The chomage (rest) has begun in the factories, and many manufacturers of bronze, sandal shoes, and upholstery, have dis- , missed the largest number of their owvriers. It is | said that the national printing office will soon dis- | miss seventy printers and compositors.. What will become of all these idle men? No doubt they will rank among the socialists, whose deluding promises are more enticing than al! those of the Decembristes. + All these prospects are very frightful ; and one who looks at the political horizon of France cannot but be alarmed for the future. % The news from behind the scones, at the Elysée, is not of much importance, and, of course, does not offer much interest. Louis Napoleon has been in- vited to several dinner parties by hia actual minis- ters, and the last of these galas took place at the house of the Minister of the Navy, where M. Vaillant and his iady displayed magnificent luxuries. A very curious fact to be noticed is, that the apartments which were formerly Soreries in the | chateau of Vincennes by the Duke of Moatpensier, and which were filled with the muskets of the National Guard aétor the disarming of tho Parisian militia, are now restored, sfter having been re- paired in the most elegant manner. This has been the cause of many commentaries in the political circles, and it is believed thaf the project of the President, in case he should mect with any unfore- seen mishap in 1852, would bo to retire to that fort, and threaten from there the whole city. ‘The Legislative Assembly has not done much during the past week. Tho only important vote is that on the National Guard, which, despite tho in- trigue of the Montagne, will not be rejected, and will be discussed legally in a short time. There was a great oxcitemont in the House yes- terday, about the demand mado by Mi. de Sainte Beuve, requosting tho Assembly to agree upon taking a vacation of a fortnight, viz.: from this day till the 22d instant. After a long struggle, during which it was said, with much reason, that it ‘Was not an opportune moment to leave the Llouse, when the “geod” ministry had not been selected, the representatives decided that there would be a short vacation of a week, to begin from the 1th instant, and to finish onthe 22d. ‘This is enough. ‘The long expected book of Mr. Romieu, eatitlod “Le Spectre Rouge” —the Red Ghost—has been issued at last, and has created much sensation, though itis an exaggerated deseription of tho evils of socialism and commuxism. ‘The author of this pamphlet has deeply entered into his subject, and his book reveals the danger of adopting the principles of Fourier | and his partizans. Unfortunately, such is tho actual | position of France, that there are but two means to get out of the labyrinth in which we are, and they ! are, either to take the aide of socialism or that of | legitimacy. We are forcibly driven either to li under the reign of terrorism, plunder, and_assass nation, or to call Henry the V d allthe Bourbon family with him. The “fusion,” as it is called b, our politicians, will soon be an ‘ascomplished fi and then, I may say a sort of safety will be off to the honest people, who, fortunately, are quite nu- merous in France, and of such strength as to resist the mob. The only thing to be regretted is that honest people are not united enough to oppose the flood of | Socialism. The clergymen are themselves some what in favor of these promoters of disorder. We were much astonished on Sunday last, to hear in the church of Notre Dame, the Kev. Abbot M. La- | cordaire say ‘that he was in favor of those who had no money or standing in society, and opposed to the insolent aristocracy cf science and geld Speaking as a Christiaa, M. de La i right; but in uttering these words at sue! cal moment, ! may say that he was totally pyr e le Mr. de Lamartine has decidedly boisted anew t flag of moder T UL Pcys, whieh iters devote stopp de Lamartine, associated with M. erronniere, formerly a chief reporter of Lt esterday took possession of the editorial Presse, ie 3 , department of that newspaper. The line which will be followed by the ex member of the provisional go- verment of 1843, will be that of moderation, though he will be in favor of the Elysée and Louis Napoleon. It will be remembered that, 1817, M. a minister of Louis Philippe, was sentenced to p and toa fine of 10,000 tranos, which he paid the half), for having been convicted of corruption in public afta ‘This sentence, by order of the go vernment, has been rovised, and the prisoner ros tored to liberty, and also exempted from paying the second partof the fine.

It is nearly eertain that the next elect will bring forth a majo: a poced of men quite different to those wl by the last corrupted ministry of Queen Ls la. The Emperor of Austria has returnedto Vienna without visiting Lowubardy, as he intended to do. It is said that it he had gone to Milan, the intention of the whole po; tion of that city was to abandon their hcuses as long as the Empe the meantime, the Common Counc their resignation to th 1 Governor. How strang ve such a reception to tho whilst Milan prepared fur him one of the bitterest ineults ever given to a crowned head! In Greeee, during the absence of King Otho, the Chamber ond the Ministry aro fighting together, and this state of things furnishes an occasion to all the highwaymen to plunder the country. The news received from the island ‘of Samos is good. Deace has beon restored in tho island, and all the prisoners made by the troops of the govern- ment sent to Constantinople. In Egypt, the Viceroy bas docided that a railway from Alexandria to Cairo shall be er shortest time posible. The distance and the cost will be abouta million ounds sterling. ‘The railroad is to be in five years. General Santa Cruz, who has beon sent by the re- publie of Bolivia to the Court of Rome, in order to settle some religious affairs, has been received with tauch honor by Pope Pius IX. The Prince Ney of Las Moskowa, who assaulted Mr. Ramon de ih Croisette in the saloon of the finished with- Presidency, has been sentenced by the judges of the police correctionnelle to pay a iiae of one hun- dred franes.

This may be con- sidered as a proverb for France, at this season of the year, It isa fact that the ides of March have boon quite severe for the whole population of the north of our country, and the dreadful influensa had, and has etill, made many ill. The unrettled state of the weathor, which i¢ still cold and very chilly, haa been the canse of disease; and Daria is se muck | revolutionary tribuual, | the hall of the Coneiergerie, surrounded by the | several influential persons who grippé that Lent is strictly observed, even by those who do not care much for the precepte of Catholi- eism. ‘Thus all the balls and parties are and will be stopped till Easter Sunday is over. The con- certs, even, which aro considered as plaisirs per mis, as far as they are not given in a theatre, have been very dull, and badly attendod, despite all the entice- ments offered to the diletanti. This month is devoted, by the proprietorsof country residenees, to propare everything in their gardens; and mach work has been done in that line. Allthe publio squares and promenades of Paris have been, and are still, in the “hands of the gar- deners;” and if] may rely upon the reports which I hear, Paris, this season, will be one of the most de- lightful cities of the world. Mabille, the Chateau Rougo, the Chatean de Fleurs, the Ranelagh, the Chateau d’Arniéres, Engheins, andother charming parks around the capital, are prepared for the ensu- ing campaign of pleasure; and no doubt travellers whe, after having visited the Great Exhibition of Hyde Park, will come here to ‘see the elephant,” will have a grand sight. Moreanon on this subjoct. The Jardin des Plantes, which is the zoological museum of Paris, has been also repaired, and offers now a very brilliant coup dail. All the alleys hive beon surrounded with wire railings, and all the ele- gant places in which the wild beasts are detained prisoners, will be renewed in the most refined style. ‘The animals of the managerio have received a fresh supply of companions from Africa, consisting of lions, hyenas, tigers, antelopes, wolves, elephants, and monkeys; and, besides all theso improvements, the green-houses of that public garden have been en- larged, in order to rival auy foreign competition. No doubt the Jardin des Plantes will be, this sum- mer, one of the most frequented spots of Paris. With the fresh breezes of April, all tho cod tisher- men of France have left our shores, either for New- foundland or the seas of Norway. On thesecond of this month, the port of Dunkerque offered a very eu- rious sight. ‘There were about a hundred’ and twenty ships, of all dimensions, departing for the wit | were y plaudits. markable, and tho costumes say, had I ever heard “ Er fo.

Rachel is nightly received with unbounded marks of apeebation by her numerous admirers. She is on tho eve of leaving Paris for London. At the Porte St. Martin, a very interesting drama by Mr. Xavier de Montepin et Granger, called “Le Vol a la Duchesse,” was performed on Tucw day last, and obtained much success. The cele brated actor Fletcher, who plays the part of tho hero, and Mile. Lia Felix (sister to Rachel) were rewarded with much applaase; for they playedtheir ta in the most olegant atyle. The drama of essrs. Gawnger and de Montepin is full of inte- resting imeffents. No doubt your readers will remember that I men- tioned how Mr. Green and the Duke of Brunswick had associated together to cross the channel, from Dover to Calais ina mammoth balloon. It is said that the noble lord had the greatest desire to visit Europe, but he was so much afraid of being sea-sick, that he had thought proper to avoid the ill- ness, by encountering a more torrible danger. ‘This eccentric Englishman accomplished his aerial tri on the 2d inst.; and within four hours thoy arrived on the shores of France, at Neufchatel, a small city situated four miles from Boulogne, not having met with the least aecident. ‘The Duke of Bruns- | wick is now in Paris, tho lion of the town.

This will be of great use. ‘The temperature of France, as I stated in the be- ginning of this letter, has been very cold during the last week. This may be attributed to several snow storms which have taken pare in the Alps and in the valleys of Switzerland. In that country, at a place called Cozzera, in the canton of Tessin, the village was entirely buried in the snow, and twenty- three persons perished by the storm. It ia said, also, that three hundred head of cattle were found dead in their stables. The snow, in several parts of that canton, is ten feet deep. To this may be attri- buted, also, the floods whic! of the southern departments of France. Tho Rhone hasinvaded its shores. In the west, the Moselle has overflown; the Ile and the Fetch have made many devastations in tho valley of Munster. but not least, the Sombre, Meuse, and Aisne rivers have also run over their usual banks; and the Seine has attained its highest point. The Loire is swelling, andit is feared that its waters will cause many disasters. If we have much water, and if, consequently, we have no fear of being in want.of it during the next season, we have been threatened with being without | ice for cooling our Nba ele “sherry cob- blers,” and champagne. If we believe the report of our astronomers, the summer will be ver: hot, and our limonadiers much frequented; thefefore, orders for ice were made orway by some specu- lators, and several ships are now on their way to Havre. Another small ficet of seven ships ‘has | sailed for Italy; and in the ports of Krageroe, Skion, Niort, and Laurwig, vessels are loading for Spain and Marseilles. I cannot understand why the merchants of the United States have not undertaken to monopolize this trade. ber right, there is company in Boston, by 1 the markets of China, the West Indies, and the East Indies, are supplied with ice. Why not send that merchandise to the continent of Europe? No doubt tho pure ice of Rockland lake would be preferred to the dirty frozen snow which is used in the coffee | be, houses of Paris. ‘The Emperor of Russia has decided that a monu- ment shall be erected at Petropaulovsk, the capital of Kamschatka, in honor of the celebrated traveller, Pehring, who discovered in 1724, the Straits towhich he gave hisname. This monument will consist of a ene ten metros high, on the top of which will be erected a statue of the intrepi: The Academy of ience of St. Petersburgh will fas sh the inscription for the monument. aul Delaroche, the celebrated Pa has just finished a capital work of art, which will no doubt, meet with many admirers.

The composition, which I saw in the parlor of Mr. Horace Vernet, the father-in-law Mr. Delaroche, is really a capital thing, aud the picture is magnificent. ‘The large canvass upon which Ilorace Vernet has represented an episode of the siege of Rome, in Ists, by the Frei army, is alreauy covered by this great painter, and, having had a private sight of this splendid work of art, ] may say that it is the most wonderful specimen of the imagination | ever beheld, at least since Horace Vernet painted the renowned Batlle of La Smala. The sveae repre- sents the downfall of that day, and the attack of a bastion along the Tiber. It will be exhibited next yenr al the Laposttion de Pemture. ‘The heirs and sons of Louis Philippe have decided that all the pictures which are still contained in the Palias National, shall be sold at the end of this month. In the meantime the director of the Ma- suem of Paris has decided that two paintings of Gericault, the author of the celebrated * Shipwreck of the Medusa,” should be bought tor the A galleries of the Louvre. ‘hese two fraines are con sidered asa national honor, and it cannot be al- lowed that they should be bought by straugers. ‘the Chasseur and the Curassier of Gericault are well known all over the world, M.

The ond troupe has left the Palatinate, inGormany, on their way to Brazil. It is said that these two hun- dred emigrants are sent to colonize the lands bo- longing to the Prince de Joiaville ; and the third pany consists of about three hundred French women, who are going to the republic of guay, in which they have recvived an immonso donation of territory. simay be seen by the above yaragreph, Europe sends a large supply of work- men to the new world, The grand steeple chase of the Haras da Pin took place on the 7th inst., and was a very fine affair.

[From the Journal of Constantinople, Dee. 29.) ‘Two days more, and we shall arrive at the end of this year, 1860, of which the commencement, so full of clouds and grave complications, made ws foar fatal events. ank God, the clouds havo disap- | peared, th al horizon is bright, aad, in spite of our anticipations, we havo soen the government continue with perseverance its work of reformation and progress, notwithstanding the numerous difli- culties created by the disorders which, for two years, agitated Europe. Thus, we seo that many social and political questions, which divide nearly ail the western Lations of Europe, have been solved with- out noise, and modestly put in practice at Constan- tinople. hen Sultan Mahmoud, and, lately, H. Mf. Sultan Abdul-Medjid, undertook to introduce in the Ottoman Empire reformations inspired by the spirit of the western people, there were in Europe many persons who refused to believe in the good result of this attempt. But if one examines tho social position of Turkey, he will soo that many of these new laws have, for a long time, taken a deep root, and aro now in full effect there. So fur, itis | true, that the time aiding, a firm desire, with a respected will, reason is always the strongest ; for it is not inan hour, itis not inaday, that great projects may be accomplished. The public opmion which to-day governs the world, which overturns and breaks the most solidly constituted powers, first hostile, has become favorable to the empire, and Turkey has conquered now, in all countries, sym- pathies that she had never previously had. If we look, now, behind, upon the principal facts accomplished during the last year, we will see that the government has not failed in its mission of civi- | lization and progress, and that it has not been un- worthy of the approval of public opinion. We desire to speak of a measure which seoms to us one of the wisest and most important with which the | government has ever favored the eountry. It it obtains the success to which it is entitlhd—and everything makes us believe that it must—it will » in contemporary history, one of the bost acts of the reign of the Sultan, and which does the greatest honor to the ministry. ‘There it is, indeed, in an empire, @ greater evil to cxtirpate | than that of stealing and wasting public money?! | These are the two great enemies of authority that the Sultan engaged himself to pursue in all’ ranks | and all classes of society.

More communist disturbances have taken placo in Norway. At Drontheim, on the 16th ult., about, three hundred persons assembled in front of an hotel, in which the table inhabitants of the town wore bavi i, in honor of the Queen's birthday, | and. orying, ‘Down with the bucghers!” Thog afterwards pom, n volley of m, and succeeded ia dri hem into the street.

The next evening the ere renowed, and were of a more serious character. About @ thousand persons as- sombled, and were to different acts of yviolenoe, whon thepolice and the milltary appeared. The former summoned the people to disperse, and caused the riot act to be read. The crowd, how- ever, refused to go away, whereupon the milit charged them three times. The people resiated, and Lo national guards were cut io the head with sharp instruments. Several regiments of cavulry and artillery were accordingly marohed into the town from the adjacent garrisons, and, after somo time, succeeded im re-establishing order. All sus- ected houses were minutely searohed, and about oe hundred und twenty rioters were arrested. At Meldal, three leagues from Drontbeim, there wee also serious disturbances, but they were put own. The Germans in America.

In general, the Ame- ricans have a very unfavorable opinion of the Ger- man fugitives, who, for the most part, have them- selves to blame for it. Aversion to labor, vaporiug and boasting in public houses, and virulent abuse of each other, with which the German-American papers are filled to a disgusting excess, do not suit the American character.

It will appear from the above sample, that I have «xamined A log-books of whalers, who, altogethor, have spent 1,124 days inthe district (N.) between tho cquator and 5 deg. N. 8) deg. and 8 deg. W., , without ever having seen a whale, either sperm or right, within it; whereas, in the district (M.) that joins it on the south, sperm whales have been seen in every month of the year, except January, | February, and March; and right whales never ; and it ears that the distriet (by, which joins this one immediately on the south, is frequented by the aig whale all the year round, but never by the right. tr the information afforded by the great number of vessels, whose logs have chanced to be examined for these districts, be a fair sample of what the whole would show, as it is supposed to be, then it would appear altogether useless to look here for | right whales; or in the first mentioned district (N) either for right or sperm. In the sample marked B, off the west coast of | South America, between 40 deg. and 50 deg. 8., 75 deg. and 80 deg. W., it appears that the upper district (Q) is not much frequented by the whalors | in May, June, and Jaly, nor by the whales in January, February, and March, except sperm, | which are most abundant in March, April, and Augutt. Whether it be a place of much resort for either kind in May, June, and July, we have not found Jogsbtoks enough to show. It is almost of as much importance for whalemen to know where whales are not to be found, as to know where they are; for this is a case in which negative information is almost as valuable as that which is positive. Ihave therefore selected from the whale chart those districts of the ocean in which most whales have been found in former years; whether they have changed their places of resort, my informa- tion does not enable me to say. But according to the chart, which is constructed for the whole ocean, in the manner already ox- | lained, these are pl: in which most whales have een found, and which it may be supposed now | afford the best whaling grounds:— | There is another point also to which I would call their attention, because, by regarding: it, it prove of value to these researches and to them, | that point is deep sea soundings. | _It is said that the sperm whale goes to the bottoms | ofthe sea for its food. What is the greatest depth. to which it cam go for this purpose, and are ite places of resort confined to parts of the ocean thas come within these depths? | Now, if owners would provide their ships eagle | with a few thousand fathoms of twine, and seme | scraps of old iron or lead to serve as sounding weights, fam sure that the whalomen, from the | great philosophical interest which many of thom | manifest with regard to my researches, would ia | calms get deep sea soundings for me. f the ocean were very deep, and the time ceuld not be spared to haul’ up the line, it might, the length out being known by what oft, be euts | and as the line and sinker would cost but little, the | expense to each ship would be but a trifle. ! take this occasion to say, because some of the whalemen have supposed it unnecessary to continae the abstract when in sight of land, that it is import- ant to have a complete abstract for ever day shay are at sea, that we may know whether they ind or not, how plentiful, the force and dYrection of winds and currents, temperature of the air and water; and glean information as to all othor pheme- mena which they are requested in the abstract log to note. .
