In the long run, he has nothing to do but to give this ingerbread General rope enough for the old aiage to fe confirmed. As Charles the Second once said to his broth mes, who remonstrated on his persoaal expo- sure, ‘Fear net, Py pathos nobody will kill me to make au King.” So Louis Napoleon may safely despise man who, whether republican, Imperial Prince or sol- dier, has reaped nt but contempt, and Whose sule earthly friend is prover! the most capricious genius of the age, namely, Emile de Girardin. editor o! the J’resse. At the same time, it is by no means improbable that this weak, arrogant y ‘man, not without a ceriain degree of talent may liave been taught to believe, thet in his Person the jarring elements o mi that with a free and a free Pan at anol aoe lapoleon ‘tion, signally as it wou! ble for ‘Kmperor to think of. While thus o1 @ subject of treason, the following from the Constitutionnel, in regard te General Forey, to whose conduet I drew your attention in my last, wili be interesting:—‘‘The honor of s brave officer, daily ex- posed to fire of the enemy, is a sacred thing. if the Correspondent of the Ties had thought of this, he would have been careful of becoming in Ki the echo of a calumnious report, in which ne did not himself believe. Besides, nothing could have been more easy than for him to have pereiiet acertain knowledge on the sub ject; he had only to have entered the French lines, to ave seen General Forey always at his post, at the head of the division charged with the principal attack. A re- ir correspondence mectssatily its between the jovernor of a besie; place and the general who com- wands the attack. It us necessary to regulate the itine- rary ef the flags of truce, manner in whi they shall announce themselves place where 4they shail be received. ‘The prisoi the iuformation ‘to be demanded relative to their fate, and the assistance tobe sent to them, also lead to frequent communica- tions. It is needless for us to say that an official cor- respondence of this kind has, of course, taken place be- tween General Osten:Sacken and General Forey, and it 4n less unnecessary for us to add that there has never ‘been any other.” In spite of all this semi-official language, it is certain are ill matured enough to still et that e dynastic changes which, during the past sixty years, have been so tre- uent im the history of France, have not been without their effect in undermining political morality; and the idea ef such treason bas not, to the pepular m horrible an aspect as might be expected from the fervid Jonguage towards it publicly. The Palais de I'Industrie begins mow t» attract all ‘eyes. What with court mourning, the war, and Impe- rial sympathy for fallen heroes, the gay season, thus far, has been the dullest, dreariest, and most deadly for the commerce on record; and people natu- raily turn their attention to the long heralded object which, it is said, is to draw tothe cspital such inou- muerable visiters.” Many parties, with tne experience of ‘certain London failures before them, predict that the Parisians who count on such enormous advantages in letting apartments, are in danger of reckoning without their host, and that, except in the case ef Americans, who will possibly require longer accommodation, the hotels, rather than the apart- ments, reap the benefit. Whoever can secure an American tenant, is indeed considered a happy ‘man, for no price is thought to be too high for their purse. But the English suredly not contribute in the propertion that might otherwise have been expected towards the general expenditure, if they had not pre- viously enjoyed the advantage of a similar exhinition at hi xnibition which, sccording to general opinion, fied and overdone. However, ly ‘ain with hers, ‘the building is 262 metres long, by 108 interior of wide, the metre being three feet three and a half inches. It is divided into three Jatiiudiaal naves, the larze.t of which is called the transept, aad is not Jess than thirty> metres high, one hundred and y long, and eighteen On the level of the first story a gallery @ constructed round the two lateral naves. In that ace beneath, the higher class of which possess s certain artistic character—such as works in silver, je.elry, bronzes, and furniture—will be placed. This gallery will be or- mamented with draperies and lustres. To augment the space, an annex bas been erected, 1,200 metres long, pre- (senting a surface of 38,000 square metres, added at 45,000, (galleries included, ) which constitute the surface of’ the principal building, ' In order that the different ob- jeste may be displayed to full advantage, and without in- juring each other, the cases of the various ca! ies, ‘or atalla will be of uniform dimeasions, the exhibitors Deing allowed to arrange their articles according to their taste.

It is already noon, sad the sun should be in the meridian, bat it does seem to have risem yet. The weather isso lugubrious that the French sky, like the French court (which coun- termanded the last concert at the Tuileries) appears te have gone into half mourniag on account of the death of the Crar. Ihave heard but » single horn blow this morning, and I feel quite sure that it will not be worth while to leave my comfortable fire for atwo minutes’ walk to the Boulevards, to see the Queen of the Wash- erwomen eseorted by a few: straggling masquers with noses as red as ther hat ribbons. Paris is little inclin- ed to exchange the sackcloth and ashes of Lent for the stley robes of carnival; but the force of habit will oubtless prevail, aad at the “noon of night,” as the poeta aay, scores of ball rooms will be resplendent with gas light and gay with revellers. Strauss and his two banéred musicians, will summon Pierrot and Columbine with their attendant host of deburdeuss, dominos white and black, fauz-nes and Pékins, to the grand opera, while a more select, but not # livelier company, will throng the parlors of Prince and Princess Murat, at a splendid ba! costumé, the invitations to which bad firat been issued for the 19th of February. Before the music of these masked ballx begins, let me méntion the solemn service at which the Archbishop of Paris officiated in the cathedral of Notre Dame, on ‘Tuesday, in memory of the victims of the shipwreck of the Semiliante. “A letter from Corncia,” says the Patric, “ announces that the corpse of Capt. Jugan, the commander, has been found. It adds that, ether corpses have been rolled ashore by the sea.” The English journals have, probably, furnished you with details of this terrible disaster, about which the Freach press has been strangely silent. Te refer again to my ‘ necrological notes’'—General Habert, commander of the Legion of Honor and member Af the Artillery, died at Paris on the 10th instant; and M. Vatel, ex director of the Italian Opera, on the Lith. Dr. Kissam, the young American physician, of whove death you were notified, | think, last Thursday, was a son of Dr. Kissam, of your city. Miss Clark, who aise died last week, had been sent by the School of Desiga, in Bosthn, to cultivate her artistical talents in Paris, with ‘A view to bee return as a teacher im the school where | she bed eo highly distinguished herself as « pupil. M. Joanny Augier, formerly secretary of M. de Lamartine, and of the editorial corps of the Phys, author of “Voyage em lcarie,’’ and several dramatic werks, has just died at Lyens, in the hospital of St. Joan de Dieu, where he had beem confinea for a year, on account of insanity. M. Charies de Meyer, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Director of the Botanical Gar- den at St. Petersburg, has died in that city, aged fifty- nine years. He was weil known to the learned world by his travels in the Altai and the Caucasian region, and by his ascent of Mount Elbrous in 1829. The jeurnals of Moscow announce the death of General Prince André Gortachakof Your English files wilt doubtless supply you with translations of two interesting articles, one im the Moniteur Prussien, and the other in the Journal des Debats, relative to the illness and death of the Emperor Nicholas. The former is full of affecting devails. The latter, which adds @ catalogue of the children of the late rar, is obviously designed to lay as much stress as pos- sible om the pacific dispositions alleged to bave been manifested by him latterly, for it carefully omits allusion to the manifesto of his successor, or to bis own dying message to the King of Prussia, Moreover, it not oaly exhibits the same equitable spirit which, as I have pre- viously remarked, characterizes most of the biographical articles which the death of Nicholas has elicited from the French press; but it is perhaps justly open to the reproach of ha’ given too flattering a picture of the last scenes im his life. Im the dramatic interest which these scenes certainly inspire, the artist has forgotten the sombre shadows which history must spread over them in the eyes of the moralist. Is there no danger that brokem ties of affection, acts of solicitude for survivors, words of faith and piety, and ail those the dying ho touching episodes which consecrate ing hours of this “father of s family,” may tempt us to forget that he is also the ‘Emperor of all the Russias,” an absolute monarch, and thus, by fatal necessity, © despot? Should the pathos and tragic solemnity of the scene. make us blind to the bleed- ing wounds of Hungary and Poland, or deaf to the faint cries which rise amidst the wastes of Siberia? One of the French journals, the Pays, has just pub- lished long article, written ‘in Dithyrambic style, ai full of pompous inanities, on the subject of Russia its Emperors. It begins with the ‘grand figure” of Peter the First, securing at once the crown and the tiara, and dreaming of universal sway. It presents Nicholas as the most audacious agentof the policy of Peter; but Europe , and he succumbs to am impossible task. ‘His explation and his fall are « solemn warning, M. Cobent, who concludes with citivg from the a text that is not to be found there, by the sword, will sooner or later, perish by the sword.’” e Pays ventures to ize ‘‘ the services rendered to the cause cf order in 1845.’” ‘The Siécle remarks witha shrewdness that nesd not be mistaken for irreverence, that the sudden death of Nicholas can scarcely be considered as an expiation, a fall, a warning to conquerors, The Czar, it says, suc. cumbed not to an impossible task, but tos disease of ‘the chest; he perished not by the sword, but by para- Jyste of the lungs. The suggestion of certain wiseacres that the Czar may have fallen a victim to an overdose of opium, obtains, even among the doctors, leas credence than the rumor of his having been deliberately poisoned. But the doo- tors and the public as well, have united in reading with great interest Dr. Granville’s curious letter to Lord Pal- merston, and his prediction on the 23d February, 1354, ‘that the Czar would die before the moxth of July 1855. The death of the Czar having now been formally éom- municated to the Western Powers by an sateemps let- ter from the King of Prussia, the Conference at Vienaa is porsuing ita deliberations, avd according to the ru- mors of yesterday at the Bourse, not without strong hopes of attaining » result that will open decidedly pact- fie apecta. lauwhile, ‘the Moniteur promulgates the adhesion of Bardinia to the Anglo-French alliance, the military con- vention conseq ue! pou that act, and the Anglo-French convention for the supplies of the Turkish army. It also publishes an im; decree, dated the 5th of March, calling out the 140,000 young soldiers of tue class of 1854, who are to be put en route from the 25th to the Bist of the present month. AsI said in my last letter, it positively contradicts the rumors of gagement, of which heth the Rus: aad the allies im the honors, and in which General Osten-Sacken was said to have been slain. The rumor that the Grand Dake Michael had also been killed in a recent engagement is not confirmed. The Moniteur of this morning _publishe despatch from Vice Admiral Brust, dated the 7th March, announ- cing that the news 0 Emperor Nicholas had reached Kamieseh in the evening of the 6th instant, that for several days rockets have been fired upon the city, not without some success; that two Russian officers have deserted, and that the seige-works are in active progress. The Monitcur cites a letter from the Journal de Franfort, intended to show that she mission of the Arch Duke William to st Petersourg, where he has been sent by the Emperor of Austria, to condole with the wicow of the late ror of Russa, th his successor, and to congratulate the latter on ccestion, is simply in accoriance with high proprie observed ‘by princes, but by no means a proof that ‘ourt of Vienna has modified its policy, or abandon- dbesion to the Western Alliance by tbe conditions of the 8th of August and the treaty of the 2nd of Decer ber. letter says that it would be superfluous to hope that the conclusion of peace can be thought of bused some kind of a decision has taken place in the men. Meanwhile, General Canrobert persists in the silence which he bas so long maintained, and Lord Raglan con- boned with fending home & Cryin record of el in the weather, not unwor' rig in an almanac, while the rumors that reach us fr the Crimes continue to be of a contradictory nature, As to whether the Emperor and Empress will depart for the Crimea, a good might still be said, and is said, on both sides of the question. It is certaia that all the preparations for their departure, at a moment's notice, have been completed. js equally certain that says jospaly ‘* Those that live they have not yet left I saw the Empress yeater- day riding upon the avenue of the Champs Elysces. She did not look as if she were taking a farewell ride there.

I do not know if the Emperor, when he goes, will be accompa- nied by the Count of Dundonald, who declares that he bas asecret system by which either Sebastopol or Cren- ntadt, or both, can be blown up in a single cay. I need scarcely add that the date of this “single day”? is not et fix 7h. Chaix-a’Bst-Ange bas fully sustained his reputa- tion as the ablest advocate at the Parisian bar, during the second, as well as the trial of Celestine Doudet. Acquitted at the first trial of the charge of murder, this unfaithful and cruel governess was condemned at the atconé trial, on the of having inflicted blows and wounds on her poor little victims, is to sulfer the fullest penaity attached to her crime by the law—im- prisonment for two years, a fine of 200 franca, and costs —which seems a very inadequate punishment.

Soxpay, April 1—6 P.M. ‘The week closed much higher and buoyant than it opened. The arrival of the steamships Atlantic March, placed us in possession of a'! the advices mecessary to remove the umpieasant doubts which previously existed relative to the position of politi- cal affairé throughout Europe, and commeroial transactions have since been mado understand- ingly. Better prices have eicce ruled for stock securities, and our great staple exports have been im better demand, at better prices. Altnough the Prospects of peace public mind on this more settled, and ali interests bave become more reconciled to the probable continuation of tha war. It is exerting a powerful conservative infiaence upon financia! end commercial transactions through oat the world; and as we had been for years rapidly expanding our currency and credit systems, had been carrying on all sorts of speculative enterprizes, and hed become so imbued with the spirit af extravagance, it was absolutely necessiry some check should be exercised to prevent such an inflation as would lesd to a terrible collapse. At that time the indications of a war in Europe firs: appeared, and a4 they extended and became strengthened, the attention of capitalists and active business men was turned to that point. This, at first, created caution, and final-y led to contractio A slight coll pe was realized aad roratine a se- vere revulsion threatened. After several momths of ina-tivity and eoonomy, the danger disappeared, aud since the time bave gradually improved. But for the war in Earope, we should have been by this time, sgain in the whirlpool of speculation aad in a fair way of bringing up with a serious relapse. The war in Hu- Tope has been our salvation, and it has really been a blessing to this country. But for the restrictions placed by the state of shings in Europe upom our speculative operations, about twelve months since, we shoud have been by this time either in the midst of, or upon the eve of, a revulsion equal to anything ever experienced on this side of the At lantic. Our progrees was checked at the proper time, and we were saved fromja series of serious disasters, The banks of this city will probably show to- morrow a alight decrease in discounts, but ne mate- rial alteration im other departments. We do not Icok for any reduction in the amount of apecie on hand. Since their last report, there has been but one shipment,and that was from Boston. This week, there will be two steamers from this port for Ku. rope, and the exportation of specie will be to some extent; but a California steamer with a week's later news, and perhaps a large remittance of gold, must be neat at hand. Tne steamer from San Francisco, of the Sth of Maron, is overdue via the Nicaragua route. Her arrival may be looked for hourly. That she will bring larger amount of gold than either of the last two steamers thore ia not mach doubt, but perhaps not to the extent of the weekly re- mittances previous to the panic. We look | for favorable accounts from California, both in rela ven two sons, te the eliest of | tion to the goid product and the return ef public confidence. The receipts of gold by each succeed” ing steamer will without doubt show am increase, until we reach again the usual average weekly amount. The money market exhinits no signs of change, and we do net see the most remote proba- bility of any stringency. The business season ia about over, and several weeks of inactivity will tol- low. The demand for money is therefore likely to be limited. This spring's trade has been unusually limited, and future payments murt be easy. Money is and is likely to continue abundant and cheap. The banks are, it is true, considerably expanded, but they have been forced to let out their diavout line on account of the accumulation of specie. They have about reached their max'mum,and we look for a steady movement for some time. Albert H. Nicolay’s regular semi-weekly auction sale of stocks and bonds will take place 0a Monday, the 2d of Apri!, at 124 o’clock, at the Merchants’ Exchange. The Boston Journal saya that the October cou- pons of the Ogdensburg first mortgage boudas will be paid on Monday, April2, by the trustees of se cond mortgage, who have poseeasion of the road. This being the first resumption of payment by any of the three roads which have been obliged to eus- pend during the troublous times through which our railways have passed, will be joyfully welcomed as an indication of returning prosperity. ‘The first annual statement of the Oriental Matual Insurance Company shows that the premiums re- ceived for the year ending the 28th of February were $927,479 66. The net earned premiums were $522,346 87, trom which deduct $441,419 77 for lowses, reinsurance and expenses, showing a net profit of $80,927 10, a8 the very satisfactory resalt of the business for the first year. The assets of the company amounted on the 28th of February to $790,244 96, of which $703,367 91 were in premium and subecription notes. The board of trustees have declared a ecrip dividend of fifteen per cent on the net amount of earned premiums, for which certifi- cates will be issued on and after the ldth of May Bext. ‘The annexed statement exhibits the transactions of the Assistant Treasurer's office duriag the month of March, 1865:— Assistant Treascren’s Orvice—Recmrts an Dianunsn- MENTS Mareb Ist, 1865—balance.., $4,641,207 90 417,426 53 6,631 75 407,306 38 500,000 00 12/193 70— 8,403,557 36 . 95,064,825 26 $3,906,778 7 1 400,248 14— 4,387,021 86 credit disvursing accounts.

This is equal to « decrease in the value of dutiable imports in the same time of about fifteen million of doliars.
