The Paris papers give currency to a rumor that the two Grand Dukes of Russia, Michael and Nicho- Jas, were to pay a visit to the President of the Re- public. A slight disturbance had taken place at Bourges, caused by some workmen attempting to prevent the embarkation of a quantity of corn ; order was, however, soon restored upon the inter- ference of the authorities. Advices from Genoa state that the Natienal Guard ef Cagliari had been dissolved; the town remained perfectly tranquil. The Mad:id Gazette publishes a royal decree, in- troducing certain modifications in the tariff. A de- ree was published on the 5th instant, annihilating the liberty of the press, establishing a censorship, an orde Bogland for the construction of th for the use of the Danube St pany They are to be of In are to beserved out to the passengers im a cooked state. The blockade of the Bight of Benin, first estab- Nehed by Commodore Bruce on the 8th of Decem- ber last, was partially raised by that officer on the ith of February—the faet having been notified at Sierra Leone on the 3d of March, just before the steamer left. The Manchester Commercial Association have called on the government to negotiate more favor- able commercial relations with the kingdom of Sian, They complain that their trade with that kingdom is ruined by the operation of the U.S. tariif. They state that Engtish merchants who import tea from Siam into England, are shut out from the Ameriean market, because on entering an American port from England, the tea is charged with a duty of twenty per cent, although it may be imported direct, duty free. The Foglish merchant is thus kept out of a second market, unless he imports ell his tea in the first in- stance to the United States. America is thus be- coming the emporium of the trade. The same dis- advantages apply to coffee and some other imports. A letier from Breslaw, in the Prussian Gazette, states that onthe first of April the mountain of Zobt was observed to be enveloped in thiek smoke, while a rumbling noise, like that of distant thunder, was heard. When the smoke had cleared away, it was discovered that the chapel which was being built on the summit of the mountain had di: ae eared, having begn swaalowed up in an abyss, No ‘urther details, nor any account of the number of vietims, are given. The eultivation of Indian corn is very rapidly in- creasing in Germany. The house of Poppe & Co., which imports the seed from America, has this year reeeived so extensive orders that it has difficulty in eflectuating them. Our London Correspondence.

Liverroor, April 10, 1852. The Preparation for the General Election—Political Meetings — German Emigration— The Easter Holidays. ‘ The chief incidents of the last week or two, both here and in Manchester, have had relation to the approaching general election. In this, “ the good old town’’—the chief emporium of commerce in the United Kingdom—both parties, free traders and protectionists, are preparing for a last and deter- mined struggle. But it is somewhat singular that the candidates of the latter party are exceedingly chary in their addresses to the clectors. Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, ome of the Lords of the Treasury, does hot as much as allude to the subject ; whilst the and the government to suspend and suppress journals at pleasure. The report that the Queen was again anacinic is contradicted. The Grand Duke of aden was rapidly sinking. @n the 4th instant he had a renewal of cramp. The German Diet had pronounced the dissolution of the German fleet. The Collore of Presidents of the Bourgeoisie of Hanover hate carried, by a Tatge majority, the re- sedution for an address to the King to maintain the eonstitution intact, and to put in force the laws of organization of the country. Jt is announced that the ‘Cunard company intend 0 establish a line of steamships between Antwerp and Liverpool, in conjunction with the royal mail line to the United States, similar to that which is now in operation between Havre and Liverpool. ‘The Liverpool and Havre line is to be kept up as hitherto, the Antwerp uew line being an addition ‘bo it. kt is asserted. hy the advices from Vienna of the Gib inst., that the differences are settled between the Austrian cabinet and the United States. The reconciliation was brought about in consequence of the despatches received in Vienna from Wasking- ton, by a special courier to the Austrian minister. Phese despatches contained the assurance of the most friendly feelings of America for the Austrian government The death of Prince Schwartzenberg is attributed, in Vienna, to excitement caused by political disap- pointment. The Emperor's partiality for Metter- nieh caused him, on several occasions, to slight Behwartzenberg, whose irritable temper could ill brook the indign Metternich’s policy will now, in all probability, be adopted. Count Buol Schauen- stein, the Austrian Minister to England, had been suddenly d from London. It was believed | that be will succeed Schwartzenberg as Premier. We eee it stated that among the persons who banker—at Rome, is “Madame Burr,” Mate President of the United States,’ and designation appear on her visiting cards ie known here a¢ Madame Jumel. ‘The Athens journals of the 27th ult. give a gloomy aceount of the state of Greece. A lettey from Patras states that, in addition to the Poles who had been expelled from Greece, the govern- ment were devising means to remove the simall wumber of Italians which still remained there, some of them had already received au intimation to _ that offect @enstantinople correspondence of the 24th March, anticipates a favorable termination of the dispute with Egypt. The British Parliament adjourned on Tuesday evening, the 6th, te the 18th inst. Nothing of any imporance has been done since the meeting of Par- Bament, nor will anything be done till after the general election. ‘The news from Australia has imparted a decidedly better tone to the market fer gold mining shares. The emigration from Exrope is to be immense this year. On the 34 inst., five vessels sailed from Hamburg with 1,500 German emigrants. Both from Hamburg ond Bremen the full tide of emigration had set in ; the greatert proportion of it comes from Thuringia and Hesse.

Whilst, however, both these gentlemen are undecided as to free trade, they have made up their minds to be red hot Protestants in every sense of the word—equally as determined to uphold the principles of the reformation as Luther or Calvin; aye, and as rigorousin their maintenance as the beaw ideal ef Scottish Preebyterianism, the renowned John Knox. Mackenzie saye:—‘ I will resist all grants of publie money to the Reman €atholic Church, in whatever form they may be proposed;” whilst hie proposed colleague also inti- mates that Maynooth shall not have any pecuniary aid, if he cam help it. The America had barely started on this day week, when the free trade party mustered in strong array at the amphitheatre, a ‘building capable of holding some 5,000 people. It was crainmed. The liberal candidates, Mr. Cardwell and Mr. J. Ewart, brother to William Ewart, the member for Duinfries, were present. The former gentleman, who is a good debater, a barrister of some standing, and a pupil of the late Sir Robert Peel, made a mas- terly speech on the blessings of free trade, gave Mr. Bromley Moore a somewhat severe castigation for the speech he had made two days before, at the same place, and endeavored to show that he had not be- trayed his trust. Now, with all due respect to Mr. Cardwell, we must say there was too much special leading in this part of his address. The subject of both orstions formed food. for political gossip, on ‘change, daily during the week, and affonied oppor- tunity for many wits to give vent to their puns and wise sayings, at the expense of both the contending | part P While the boroughs are active in marshalling their elective forces, the county voters are also on the ert. Theliberals have pit forward John Cheatham, q:, of Staleybridge, as a candidate for South Lancashire. He will, it said, make a good colleague to Wm. Browne, Esq. The terrib disaster which has overtaken Hi. M. war steamer Birkenhead, in Simon’s Bay, created a painful sensation here during the last few days. ‘The Birkenhead was built en the other side of the Mersey, and considered an excellent sea- going boat, but dashing her on the rocke was more than she could stand, Our streets are just now pretty much thronged ith German emigrants, en rowle to New York: who fer going out by way of Liverpool, om account of the cheapness of the route, ail the superior class of vessele whieh they can take passag They are of all ages, from the dame grand-parent to the youn; | infant.

The cotton, preduce, and corn markete are all closed until that day. Our Paris Correspondence. POLITICAL. Pants, April 8, 1852.

The whole amount is twelve millions of francs a year; and Louis Napoleon is authorized to use the palaces of the Tuileries, Louvre, Fontainebleau, Compiegne, Versailles, Saint Cloud, Trianon, Meudon, Klysée, and Pau, The President is also allowed to enjoy the pleasure of chasing and shooting in the forests of Fontainebleau, Compiegne, Marly, and St. Ger- main. This, it may be remarked, is similar to the diste civile of Louis Philippe, which wae also for twelve millione, but to which were attached the ex- penses of keeping in good order the palaces which eunsisting of taking out second clast passengers at 45 each, including provisions for the voyage, which had been granted to him. The benatue Consulie, The liste, civile, or salary of the President, was | | of the Ist instant says, en the contrary, that these , | expenses will be supported by the State. Itis trae that Louis Philippe had the income of the forest, where Louis Napoleon has but the right of chasing. Such is the difference between the two liste civiles. | _ After such a vote of the Sesate, the nominal Pre- | sideney of Louis Nepsless may be considered as a | humbug, and ananachroniem. ~ The system on the | Washingtonian plan is decidedly abandoned as good for nothing, and the empire will soon follow, despite the speech of the 29th ult. I was told by a states- man, who is ‘ally well informed, that a few | Serators having been sent to the Elysée, to know, from the President himself, what sum of money he de- sired, Louis Napoleon replied that his desires were quite modest, and that @ small inceme would be sufficient for a President of a republic, for he had no idea of changing the form of the present govern- ment. As his interlocutors appeared much astonish- ed, Louis Napoleon added:—** But in the meantime. entlemen, I have been obli, to foresee the po: ility of an empire, and if I am compelled by | cumstances to accept the title of an Emperor, I wish | it may be done without new expense to France. | Therefore, it would be prudent, gentlemen, to giv: | me a liste civile which would then be sufficient’ — | | and aceordingly the dotation of 12,000,000 franes | was voted by the Senate. But better off than Lonis Philippe, Louis Napo- eon has no family expenses, while! the former King “of the French had to pay 600,000 franes to his wite, anaes Mary Amelie, and 2,400,000 franes to his children, for their private expenses. And it is well | known thet Louis Philippe was so prodigal about the | expenses he made for the royal castles entrusted to his care, that he used to spend more that three or four millions of his own private income for the un- foreseen expenditure of his household Such a true | appreciation of facts will prove that the liste civile of the President of France is enormous for the French people, to the moek ti’ the government. Notwithstanding the numerous castles allowed to Louis Napoleon, to be used by him as private resi- dences, he persists remaining at the Elysée, where he has his own habits. The Prince likes to walk when he is achieving some business, and for this cause the arden of the Elysée is of great value to him. he Tuileries is @ glass house, and its garden is opened to everybody. : The new dotation of the President will be the cause of several lawsuits, among which I may men- tion that of the right of shooting in the forest of St. Germain and Compiegne. It must be known that these two forests, which have been rented to private individuals, have been in their hands the source of an immense speculation, for they used to sell the game, and to dispose of the rights of shooting in favor of many individuals, at so much ($200) a head for the season. The two men who have rented the forests of St. Germain and Com- piegne are decided either to force the President to buy their privileges or to give them a large in- demnity. At Compiegue, the society of sportsmen, who are all legitimists, and who have already spent 30,000 franes for damages occasioned by rabbits and hares, have decided to maintain their rights by fas a nefas. Who will be the winner? Though Louis Napoleon has been busily engaged with the arrangements of his new dotation, he has not neglected several other duties which were of the utmost importance for the success of his cause. In the first place, I may mention the presentation of oaths of the Council of State and of the magistrature, which | took place at the Elysée on Monday last. As a | matter of course, Louis Napoleon has made a speech; but I may say, with the utmost veracity, that this unctamento is one of the most important e the events of the 2d of December last. apoleon spoke with much freedom of the heirship of power in his family. ‘It isnot onl. toa man that you make allegiance,” said he, wit! and offers an anomatous opposition of republic, which is still held by a peculiar voice; “but you also do it to a printi- ple.” As your reade ¢. the Prince President not only ‘completely confirms the possibility of the ene but he also’ anticipates his right to the vote of 1804, as being of an absolute legitimacy. It has been clear to @pry one that the President, in calling the magistrates inito the private palace of the Elysee, @ (a Louis XIV., had not forgotten that the same persons, members of the high court, had attempted to place him under an act of a ion on the se- dof December of last year. The brief form of his speech, which he delivered in presence of Messrs. Barthe, Portulis, and Laplagne Barris yes fixed upon these old followers of the Orleans and other dynasties, the ostentation he had to withdsaw as soon as the “persons present had taken their oaths, every thing led to believe that he had still presont to his memory the act of the second of December, and thatif he had pardoned the fact, he had not forgiven the intention. It is said that all the members of the government, and office-holders of all ranks and classes, will be obliged to take oath of allegiance, either now or Within a short time. No one can deny that Louis Napol ght in doing so, for thus he knows who age of copper money is about to be ex- short time, sanctioned ‘oject, it will be accepted as al. The sum copper money is about ten millions of kilo- nmes, Which amounts to fifty millions of franes, en millions of pure copper; twenty-one mill. of cents, with the effigy of liberty, alloyed with pewter; und nincteen millions of bell metal with alley of silver. It has been decided that the new mouey should be smaller than itis now, but the culty of coining {til render difficult its imitation out of France. We shalf sco" s¢¢ (ha new project in execution. The costume of the representatives seem to mett With objection among the members of the House. These gentlemen are too fond of their liberty not to refuse to endorse the livery, every day, for the time of the sitting. Despite the regulations of Mr. Billault, balf ot the’ depulés have formed a league not to assist at the séances in costume. I feel confident that this league will lead to the forced iy of the regulation. yeneral Saubou! has been named Governor of the National Hotel of the Invalids, and he takes the place of General Petit, who, having been named Senator, cannot keep two publie offices. Louis Napoleon has decided to spend the oe and summer season at the chateau of St. Cloud. The two Assemblies, the Senate and Corps of Le- gislature, are slowly working, and though the very words of the debates are not rendered public by the medium of the press, we know enough of their pro- ceedings that need noticing now. It had been rumored that the Prince President intended to prorogate the legislative corps, under the pretext that there was not a sufficient number of laws pre- pared for their examination. It is certain that this proposition was made by the ministers to Louis Na- poleon; but during the vacation of the holy week, there will be time enough to prepare new laws, an: among those which are to be presented, I will men- tion the laws on burials, publi¢ instruction, penal colonies, &e. The distribution of medals'to the army are still continuing, and will continue, as long as there is a regiment left behind without recompense. On Sun- day last, the President reviewed the Third, Four- teenth, Thirtieth, and Forty-second regiments of line, which are on the eve of leavin; aris, and aleo the Seventh of dragoons and the Fourth of chaseeurs. The staff of Louis Napoleon was com- osed of Marshals Excellmans and the Minister of War, Generals Renault, Alphonse, Rippert, and de Rilliet. Many medals and a large number of crosses of the legion of honor were distributed to the army. The crowd was large in the neighbor- hood of the Tuileries; but there was no enthusiasm, either among the beholders or the soldiers. Previous to this review, a great ceremony had taken place in the chapel of the Tuileries, which was the delivery of the red barrette of cardinal, to Monsignor Donuet, Archbiehop of Bordeaux, recent- ly named cardina] by the Holy Father. The Pope’s nuncio, Baron Flavio Gighi, ablegal of Pius IX., and several members of the church, were present at the ceremony. The newly elected Prince of the church, addressed a speech to the President, which was replied to by him. ‘ A rumor mentions the meditated change in the Ministry. M. de Persigny would pags to the Minis- try of State, M. de Maupas would become Minister of the Interior, and M. Pietry Minister of Poliee. Another rumor worth being mentioned, is that of Louie pire intention to include in an amnesty al] the political exiles, which has spread for the last two weeks among the low class of society. Ido not believe this will ever be the case, at least in toto. No doubt some men will be released, but for the mbst of them, those who have deserved their fate, will he left under the stroke of justice. The removal of the state of siege had rendered a certain confidence to those Who had fled out of the country, and thought that they would be no more tracked by the police. Many of them who had Ko a have quietly returned to their houses, with the hope that they would be left alone. Unfortunately, they have met with another fate, and have been imprisoned. | Titles of nobility have been restored to their owners, as it is well known, but they were not mueh employed in society. Since the last two weeks, Louis Lapoleon has granted titles of nobibity to some perro party. He is renovating the savo- nate @ vidain of his uncle J think it will he a curious document for your rea- ders to know the present circulation of the French newspapers of Parie.

No doubt the entranee of Lous Napoleon in his box created some sensation, but the inbabitante of the quartier Latin did not pay any attention to the cnticements of the Décembrailard . In short, this was a political failure and no mistake. The meee the Duke of Aumale and Count of Chambord turned out to be a hoax. The let- | ter written, as reported, by the heir of the Bourbon family to the legitimists of France, advising them | not to submit to the President, and to oppose an | oath, under any shape or form, to the new govern- | ment, has also no foundation whatever. And with- out having a material proof of it, it will be ac- counted for that Messrs. de Kerdrel and Bouhier de 1’ Keluse were present at the ceremony of the 29th ult. As for M. de la Rochejaquelein, he is about | leaving Paris, to undertake a long journey through the United States of America, Mexico, Chili, Peru, | and California. | Mr. Rives, our Minister in Paris, deliverved, on | the 31st ult., the letter of Millard Fillmore to Louis | Napoleon, acknowledging him as President of France. At Rome great preparations for the holy week are made, which will render this epoch of the Lent one of the most attractive of the year. A great num- ber of Americans, Englishmen, and foreigners of all countries, intend being present there. The pretended ‘German fleet,” which was only “sketched” since 1848 and 1849, has been anihila- lated. On the last Diese a Mareh, held by the Dieta, the only two ships, Gofion and Barbarossa, commanded by Admiral Brommy, have been, or soon will be, given up to the Prussian Commodore, Schroeder, and all the officers and crews disbanded, with permission to enter the navy of Prussia. The news from Gallicia is ofa very bad order. The Jaquerte is daily increasing, and’ the peasants are sacking the castles and plundering their inhabi- tants. The government has no power to repress these excesses. The Emperor of Russia will probably review the army of Poland at the end of the month. It has been whispered in some quarters that the two great Dukes of Russia, who are now in Bavaria, intend to t Paris, and pay @ eomplimentary visit to Louis Napoleon. The return of M. de Lavalette from Constantino- ple is decided, and within a few days he will arrive in Paris. It is said that M. de Morny will use all his influence to have his friend elected to the Puy de Dome. Emperor Soulouque Faustin I. has sent orders to Paris coneerning his private library, which is to be composed of all the elassieal works in aur language They will all be bound with stamps of the coat of arms of the negro Emperor, which, it will be re- membered, consists of a palm tree, with the follow- fe “God! my country, and my sword !”? r. McCurdy, minister of the United States to Vienna, has communicated to the Austrian govern- ment the despatches he had received from Wash- ington, by which it was assured that no angry feelings were entertained there against Austria. Mr. Hulse- mann, who is Minister of Austriato Washington, and who had retired to Havana, had received positive orders to return to his poste. A telegraphic despatch, received this morning from Madrid, and dated 5th instant, announces that the government has published a deeree regulating the freedom of the press.

Panis, April 8, 1852. | The Extraordinary Weathe—The Americans in Paris, and their Peeuliar Enjoyments— Their Coaches, Coats of Arms, and Dwwersions—Grand Jewish Synagogu—E. ion of Paintings— Grand Cattle Show and Fair—The Festivals— Sale of Marshal Soutt’s Pictures—The Operas, Theatres, §¢.—List of Americans in Paris. No doubt the entire globe is undergoing a general confusion and change, and we feel it periodically in Paris, where nature has totally overthrown its habits, and become quite irregular. There are re- markable ups and downs of seasons, which cannot be accounted for, and we may think it probable that the globe, growing old, is subject to peculiar inter- tuittances of good and bad health. We have had several days of most superb weather, and for the last twenty-four hours we have been freezing near our fire place, well filled with oak wood. Noting this cold weather, the sun is bright over our heads; but the wind blows stiff and chilly, which gives the atmosphere an acute sharpness, for which the only remedy is to keep one’s self well wrapped in winter clothes. I know from good authority, that the mem- bers of our medical faculty are particularly bus: with a large number of patients, and that the ordi- nary diseases of the spring season—the grippe, the cattarres, &c.—have been, this year, accompanied by a sort of inflammation of the bowels, by which many patients haye been carried away, and taken to the burial ground. This is not to be accounted for, and the prome- nade of Long Champs, which began yesterday, and will enly fimish to-morrow evening, is this year as brilliant as it has ever been under the glorious days of the restoration and since the revolution of 1830, under the reign of Louis Philippe. The Boulevards, Champs Elysees, and Bois de Boulogne, are covered with elegant carriages, and those who go there Usliniatetnpa are as numerous as the stones of tl pavement. ‘The toilettes of the fashionable People are magnificent, and the luxury is extreme. article on fashion will give full details of these drees- ings, yan Need no doubt, please the fair sex, who are numbefed among the usual readers of the New York Heraup. As for the carriages and horses, their new shape—the colors of the former and the beauty of the latter—eannot be equalled in any part of the Continent, even in England. Many Ameri- cans rank in this display of elegance, and at the head of them is Mr. Reynolds, frem New York, whose admirable trotting horses have been princi- pay remarked this year. Mr. Lesieur’s calasch jorses and ree are also noticed, among man; others. Mrs. Ridgeway’s was drawn by two super! horses, of full biood, and whose carriage—of olive coler—was remarked by many who paraded in the Champs Elysee. i As it may be observed, the Americans in Paris are doing thelr best to make a show, and their reputation has now outwitted that of the Englishmen, whe formerly were considered as the most eccentric people in the world. 1 will give, for example, two or three anecdotes which took place a few days ago, and have been the cause of much amusement in our private circles. The first reads as follows: On Saturdaylast, a per- son dressed as a woman, the face covered with a thiek veil, was observed walking on the quay of the Seine, and crossing the river over the bridge of the ‘arrousel. The tall appearanee of the would-be woman, the queer style of walking of that Andre- gync—everything but the toilette of the person, which was irreproachable—attracted the attention of those who were passing by. At last the police, who are everywhere in Paris, thought it necessary to in- terfere in the matter; and one of the “stars” havin, approached the tall person of our comedy, invite: her to follow him to the cerps de garde of the Tui- leries. There orders were given to unveil “that face;” and, to the great astonishment of the beholders, a large pair of moustachios diseovered to every one that the ‘she’ was a “he,” or, in other terms, that the woman was a man—the lady a gentleman. It was then known that Mr. ———, of Kentucky, a student of medicine in Paris, had made a bet with some friends that he would appear, in day-time, in the streets of Paris, dressed in female attire. Mr. D. B. won his bet; but he was sent to the watch- house to ee his folly before the Commissaire de Police. may say, that after a severe admoni- tion and remonstrance, he was set free, and it is to be hoped that *‘he will sin no more !”” ‘ The second anecdote is as follows: Several young men from America, whose dissipated lives’ have become quite proverbial in Paris, are in the habit of living high at the Maison Dorée, Café Anglals, and other places of the kind. On Sunday morning they all met at the Maison Dorée, and remained there till four o’clock, drinking, payne. and singing. One of them proposed to is friends to leave the place and to go to the Bois de Boulogne, to inhale the pure air of the country. ‘Thie motion was adopted, and they all went out in search of cabs, to be driven there. No vehicle was to be found but a hearse, which was going to some funeral; and one ef these young men, addres- sing the driver, asked him if he wished to let his carriage and take them all to the Bois de Boulogne. The driver, instead of acceptin, the proposition, became quite a dignified man, an replied that he was joking with something that was not to be laghed at, for, if he continued vo live such a dissipated life, he would soon go ‘‘alone’’ on | the hearse. Asa matter of course, the party did not pay any attention to the remonstrances of the yoor fellow, and they proeeeded further on, | where they met the wanted vehicle. On arriving at Madrid they alighted from their carriage; butone ' of the party, whe had fallen asleep in one of the | corneisof thecalash, was unable to come down—be was taken by an attack of apoplexy, aud a few minutes aller he wae a dead man. 7 ‘The last daye have witnessed a great many festivals of all sorte, worth being mentioned to my American readers. First, on Sunda: meaux—which is called sone from the churvh, and carrying ia their hands branches of olive and box trees, which had been blessed by the priests. Thishabit. which for the lastthree years had been quite neglected, was resumed this year with much eare, and proves that the Roman faith is not yet extinet in France. A ceremony which attracted @ large crowd of ople, took place on Friday last at the Church of Ee. ary. It waxthe consecration of two large bells, to be placed in the tower of the buildiug. ‘The first, called Jeanne, was babtized, and had for parrain M. Delecour, and for marraine Mme. Jeanne Cel- lierhis wife. The second was called Marie Caroline, and was christened under the auspiees of M. Moine- ry, President of the Tribunal of Commerce, and his wife, Mine Caroline Lecreux. The bells had been covered with garlands of flowers and lace, and the ceremony was quite a splendid affair. The grand Synagogue of the Jewist faith was con- Pes aks Braue last (the Sabbath day), aud this festival attracted a large crowd in the street Notre Dame de Lasaretts, where the building has been erected. The first people belonging to the Jewish religion were assembled there, and they all joined the prayers of the congregation. 4 The grand affair of the week, in the fashionable circles, is the opening of the grand exhibition of modern paintings, which took place at the Palace Royal, on the first inst. The most talented artists of Paris and the departments have sent there their works, and I may say, without fear of contradiction, that the paintings, statues, and engravings exhibited this year, warrant the highest opinions of the ta- lents exhibited in France Peisae artists. Several Americans have exhibited their works this year, and Iwill take an opportunity in my next letter to mention in full the articles they have produced in public. A fure of one franc a head is demanded by the committee for admission inside the Salon, and the amount received is intended for the purchase of the best pictures of the artists, and thus to remu- nerate them fer their cfforts and hard studies. The grand annual exhibition of cattle, of all kinds, which took place at Roissy, was hold, this year, on the 6th and 7th instant, and was consider- ed as a grand affair. The oxen, sheep, pigs, and calves, exhibited there were enormous, and consid- ered larger and heavier than any of those exhibited before. Among those animals was a swine, one year old, which weighed 450 kilograms—900 pounds. The Holy Week in Paris is ordinarily the week of fairs of different kinds. The first is that of salt meats, hams, sausages, lard, sult beef, corned beef, ete., which takes place on the Boulevard Bourdon, and which is frequented, not only by all the good minogires of Paris, but also by those of the départ- ments situated around Paris. Here they come to supply themselves with salt meats for the year, and the sums made by the sellers are sometimes enormous. The fair of this year is considerable, and J am told that the amount of money paid will be about 250,000 francs. A pxptty good sum for salt pork and beef. Another fair, which takes place to-day, is that of gingerbread, one of the most appreciated cakes in the market. The transactions in that branch of commerce are said to amount to 700,000 franes. The end of the month and the beginning of tho next will be marked by several grand festivals, among which will be @ ball at the Tuileries, and several parties at the ministers of the go- vernment, Last, but not least, a grand review will take place on the ground of the Carrousel, which is to be entirely cleared from rubbish and st of all kinds, and rendered level for that oc- easion The place, when finished, will be called Place Napo! on. It is said that the troops present at that review will amount to 150,000 men. They will be disposed along the quays of the Seine, and also in the gaiden of the Tuileries and the Place de la Concord. 'The arch of triumph of L’Etorte will soon be sur- mounted by a mammoth eagle, which will give to that monument a magnificent style of grandeur. The Champs Elysée will also be decorated from the entry up to the arch, with about two hundred statues of all the illustrious men of France. Inthe meantime the Crystal Palace will be built, and J am told it will be 27,000 metres square, which is to say, 248 metres long and 110 metres wide, This new building will be larger than the in- side ofthe garden of the Palais Royal, which is only 21,090 metres square. It had been whispered that the intention of the President was to build a long precosoute along the Rue de Rivoli, inside of the gates of the Tuileries. This project is not yet abandoned; but I doubt whether it will be possible to achieve it. The sale of Marshal Soult’s splendid paintings, of the Spanish school, will begin on the 21st instant. It will be remembered that this gallery is the most magnificent of the kind, for it contains Velasques, Zurburons, Murillos, ete,, of the “first water.” I am told that these gems will be sold at enormous prices. The races of the Chateau de la Marche, whieh took place on Sunday last, were favored by splendid weather; but they were marked bya very acci- dent. M.de Tournon, one of the sportsmen, who entered the race ground for the steeple chase, was thrownover the head of his horse, pe) most severely bruised. The unfortunate gemtleman was taken halfdead to his house. It is nevertheless hoped he will recover. The races were like all races—agree- able to the sportsmen and disagreeable to those who did not take much interest in the affair. The last night of the Italian theatre was cele- brated by a concert, at which Mlle. Cruvelli was to take part; but owing to some Sierra with the sub-manager of the theatre—a certain Count Lou- ley—she left Paris in the morning for London, and when the public demanded her, a mancame forward and said that she was ‘“‘sick.”? The other parts of the ‘concert were filled by Messrs. Lablache, Su- giui, Caleolari, and Mme. Corbari, who sang with auch elegance and talent. Atthe Frangais, Mme. Reger de Beauvori pro- duced a play in one act, entitled “L’un et l'autre,” which was received with much applause. At the Porte St. Martin, M. Paul Meurice pro- duced his grand drama of ‘Benvenuto Cellini,” founded upon the lite of the celebrated Italian sculptor and jeweller, who dwelt with Kings and Popes, and_ was considered as the greatest artist of his age. M. Melingue, who plays the part of Ben- yenuto, is not only a splendid actor, but also a re- fined sculptor, and he offers the public a nightly proof of his talent, for he makes, every evening, a statue with clay, when playing his part on the stage. The scenery and costumes of M. Meurice’s drama are of the first order, and the mise en sctne has not yet been equalled on any stage. Madame Doche, the famed actress, who is now playing the “ Dame aux Camelias” at the Vaude- ville theatre, has sold off all her wardrobe, furniture, and knick-knacks of all serts. This sale was at- tended by a crowd of all sexes, and Iam told that the amount of it is quite enormous. The auctioneer told me that it reached the sum of 700,000 franes. Madame Sontag is now at Weimar, from whence she will come to Paris, and then proceed to the United States. The Countess Merlin, a creole from Havana, whose wit and elegance were so well appreciated in Paris, died on Saturday last. Her funeral was at- tended by all the fashionable and refined Bop of Paris. The Countess Merlin was not only a charm- ing and beautiful woman, but she also possessed a magnificent voice, which I had often admired in private circles. — - AMERIGANS IN PARIS. R.

The Russian Grand Princes finally left Vienna yesterday, after a stay of about two weeks, during which they were honored with every di: sible for the Austrian court to show them. the special entertainments got up for them at the court itself, the higher nobility also vied with each other in doing them honor, The English ambassa- dor, likewise, Lord Westmoreland, so noted for his toadyism, devoted one of his soirées to thom. They have gone by the way of Luiz and Salzburg to Mu- nich, whose court they will also honor some time with their presence. The latest official reports in reference to the war steamer Marianna are, that parte of the wreck pave been found, and that these show that her loss was not occasioned by the storm, but by the explosion | either of the boiler or of the powder magazine, probably the latter. How correct this may be I shall not pretend to say, but only mention, as an ominous instance of the tone of the public mind in reference to the government, that this account is not at all credited by people in general, who think last. the day of the Be !
