2 AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Our Paris Correspondence. Pana, May 20, 1856. Beturn of Mr. Fillmore to the United States—His Views fm Regard to his Nomination—The Malian Question—The Treaty of the th of April—The Relations between Ak @reat Britain and the United States—Prince Napoleon's Voyage of Discovery, dc., de. Iwrote you by the last steamer from Liverpool that Mr. Fillmore was bale and hearty, here in Paris, on his ‘way to England, and the United States. 1 also informed yea quite as early, I think, as anybody else could have eno it, that Mr. Fillmore bad accepted the Philadelphia memination for the Presidency, and I now can add to all ‘Shs that Mr. Fillmore has engaged his passage home on Deard the Atlantic, one of the Collins line of steamers, ‘Which sails on the 11th of June from Liverpool for New ‘Werk. So you may expect him home on the 20th or 2ist ef next month. Mr. Fillmore is accompanied by Mr, Jewett, of the Buffalo Commercial, oue of his intimate friends, who is now acting a3 his secretary. Mr. Jewett a plain, unostentatious, sensible man, who has travelled ‘With Mr. Fulmore in Europe, and has just returned from Jerusalem. Mr. Fillmore stops here in Paris merely to wisit the great_cattle show—the first, I believe, that ever geek place in France, and to which all the nations of Eu- Pope are now sending their cattle. The exhibition will afford @ fuir index wo that state of culture throughout Europe; and as the cattle, after the exhibition, are fo be sold, pit will afford an excellent means of impreving the breed in Frange, Mr. Fillmore’s long stay in Europe has afforded our wenerable ex-President the means of studying European Wwatitutions; but I believe it has only increased his love for America and his desire not to visit Europe any moro. At the same time, Mr. Fillmore returns with a full know. Jedge of European politics, which he yet hopes to turn to fome good account after his return to his native land. Be is here in the strictest incognito, sees nobody but Lis countrymen, and ayoids all official invitations and all honors likely to be bestowed on him by virtue of his position as ex-President of the United States. He mtends to continue the same reserve in England up to the time of Bailing for the United As fur as his political prin efples go, I can only s as read the letter @eptance of Major Denelson, and that he js reaty to sub. weribe to every line of it. The story that Mr. Fillmore ‘was deliberating whether he should accept the nomina. tion tendered him in Philadelphia was made out ¢ whole cioth. Mr. Fillmore is ready to accept ar Domination fhy national men, not tainted with “isms,” and would not accept any tendered him by fanatics. Further than that I am unable to tell, being neither a Know Nothing, nor, from unavoidable circumstances, i the confidence of the party. As s fr. Fillmore $e certainly a better candidate for the Presidency than any fanatic, North or South, and the excresce! fall parties gre worn off by time. If I can judge from a distance, Mr. Fillmore has more friends than are enrolled under a special party banner, and it will require a strong demo. @rat—not one that carries weight—to beat him. If the @emocrats select an old party hack, or re-nominate Pieree, Mr. Fillmore will find more backers than Bre now ready openly to espouse his canse, especially among those who, in the ever memorable language of the great Daniel Webster, don’t know where to go. Mr. Fill- more’s immediate friends expect to carry the election—to the House, at ail events—when it will be for Congress to @ecide which candidate of those that are eligible unites in Bimself the greatest number of national qualities.

That England is willing to take this «tep seems to be proof of her unwillingness to keep more irons in the fire than she can possibly help; but I hardly think the French gov- ernment would like to see England take that step. It would certainly furnish a proof of British confidence in Russian honor, and go far to counteract the prejudices now existing in Russia against the settled opposition of England to her Eastern policy. Such a reference of an unprofitable quarrel to Russia would nevertheless be an act of sound policy on the part of the United States, especially if in the mean- time we adhere to the principle which has heretofore guided us in the recognition of every de facto government, and acknowledge the new government of Nicaragua.

The Great Agricultural Exhibition at the Palais de VIn- dustrie—Congress of European Bulls—Catlle Breeding on a Costly Scale—Lowis Napoleon's Bovine Fancics—French Indifference to Prize Beef. Thave just returned from one of the most remarkable exhibitions ever scen in this capital, so famous for the originality of ite devices for the amusement and instruc- tion of the world, The Palais de l’Industrie has acquired another niche in the Templo of Fame. Its gorgeous silks and goldsmiths’ its marvellous cloths and specimens of the up- '¢ art—its Herculean mechinery and mineral productions—its corn, and wine anc oil—its gigantic loco- motives and hydraulic presses—haye all passed aw. by a stroke of the magician’s wand, and given place to a ene Which may be called a French edition of old Noah’s Certainly, when in France they fairly set their minds on an enterprise, there is no other people who can com- pare with them; and when they donot imitate, they of- ten so immensely improve the originsl, that they quite di- vide the honors of the invention. Agricultural exhibi- tions have been before the English public, and been in- creasing in number and importance ‘or the last half cen- tury. To France they had been unkrown, or only heard of through the columns of the London press, when two years ago the Emperor inaugurated ore in the Champ de Mars. Yhe next year witnessed another, an improvement upon the first, and greatly advanced the public favor But this year, taking advantage of a colossal constr tion, the fame of which has alreaéy extended tot @ farthest ends of the world, the Emperor desired—anu in his desire has met with the most complete success—to offer an agricultural tableau, from the contributions of all Europe, which should leave behind it at an immoasura- ble distance every attempt of the like notion which had ever-entered into the heart of man to concei Most of your readers are toleravly familiar with the plan of the Industrial Palace. Itis unnecessary, there- fore, for me to say further than that it is an cnormous oblong, with an immense area, the sides of which are formed by those galleries which, in 1855, were found spacious enough to accommodate many thousand bales of industrial art from every clime and country in the world. Underneath these galleries were arched recesses, lighte* from above, which wore the appearance of miles of stre’ J glittering with all the dazzling and bewitching tempta tions which the créme de la créme of industrial produce, from Europe, Asia, Africa and America might be ex- pected to offer. Itis to these same recesses, now <0 dif- ferently occupied, that I wish at present to recall fhe reader's attention. In each is constructed a row of stalls or boxes, neatly painted, They are littered with straw as clear and bright as when it first glistened in an au- tumnal sun, and a plaited border fringes the exterior, at the edge of which runs adrain which carries away all mpurities. Every one of these rows of stalls is filled with horned cattle, classified according to its race an! country, and presenting an appearance not only of the most spotl Joantiness, but of sleekness and glossiness of skin such as a stud of the finest blood in the world might be expected to exhibit in the best York-hire training stables. To see th animals, some of them brought all the way from the plains and mountains of Hunga thus Inxuriat ing in all the comforts which the sweetest food and the most delicate attentions can bestow upon them, stalled in a palace which the Queen of England crossed the channel to visit, and which the most exalted personages in the civilized world came to gaze on, one is almost ready to look upon them as so many beasts of sacrifice prepared as of old as a votive offering for the sins of humanity, The order in which they stand is something as follows: Entering the grande porte, on turning to the right, the first lines of stalls are filled with pure Durhams, or what are more generally termed ‘‘short horns,’? from England. They consist of sixty bulls and as many cows. The beau- ty, the perfect symmetery of these animals, none but those who are familiar with the race can form any idea of. Two thousand pounds sterling is asked for one bull alone. After these come the Devons, the pride and glory of the late Mr. Coke, of Norfolk, afterwards the Earl of Leicester, and of his son, the present Earl, who reltgious- ly treads in the agricultural footsteps of his venerable father. ‘They are of a blood red, without one spot of white, and for the general purpose of either milk or beef are per- haps unequalled in the world, There is a small bull, the property of Mr. Turner, of Exeter, in England, which has carried off the first prize, and a cow which has been equally successful; the form and graceful shape of these animals (s very beautiful. Then follow whole rows of Herefords and of Ayrshires. Those last named occupy a great portion of the western end of the palace, and the greater part of them are of ex- cessive beauty. As mileh cows they are unrivalled, but not so profitable for the butcher. ‘There ix, besides, a large collection of anituals from Galway, in Ireland, from Yorkshire, and from Suffolk. There is one row ef what are called Stich Polls. They are magnificent ani- mals, black 44 ebony, without a # of whits, and their #kins glossy ae silk; they have no horns, etd in the Lon- don marke& are esteemed the best beet She butcher can secure. Near them area number of ctiile from Ireland, of Which the small race fromh Kerry #¢omed to attract the met attention. Next follow the breeds of Holland, which odcupy the remaining portion ut4er the western gallery, and many of the Flemish cows, in symmetry of form and beauty of color may Well'S¢ compared with some of the best samples from at or Scotland. Next are those of Switzerland, ‘which are very fine, especially those of Berne and Schultz: dud then are to be seen those of Ger- many and Hungéry. From the latter country the speci mens are very curious, attended as they are by their Hungarian Reepers, who wear white trowsers, so wide and lont-that no one can distinguish them from petticoats, and hitve'tiost formidable moustaches. The beasts are chiefly revdarkable for their enormous proportions of horn, which steot out from either side the head to the length of a yard or more, It is black and white, but of remark “le polish and delicacy of fibre that it resembles the “Brest ive Scattered about are § ‘olean, Tran. ’ lician and ¢ 1 bg an extra ‘The exhibition as re rance, comp 4 Lemorsifi among which « pure white of the Charolaise is very striking.

In my last 1 confined myself to a description of the manner in which the recesses running on ail sides of the vast oblong of the Industrial Palace were occupied. Of the grand central nave I said nothing, but nothing more worthily deserves a graphic pen than this part of the exhibition, roses, The Imperial Horticultural Society has there taken up its abode, By its wizard art a garden 4 U’Anglaise has been created. winding gravel walks, with sloping lawns enamelled with verdure, with shrubs and trees, tall and umbrageous enough to reach the arch of the galleries overhead, with parterres of rhododendrons in their richest bloom, with beds of beautiful azalias and roses innumerable, with bubbling fountains, exquisite statues, among which, hol:l- ing the central place of honor, is that of the Empress Josephine, fitly placed indeed among the flowers which 1 hfe she loved so well; and last, not least, with a vofiti- lation 90 admirably managed that, notwithstanding this most delicious retreat is surrounded by 750 horned beasts, here's not an odor which one would desire to dispense with. Neyer did the banners of all nations wave over a scene move emblematic of the arts of peace. The lowing cattle, the bleating sheep fastened in their picturesque Jens without, the crowing cock, the chuckling hen, the peacock’s sonorous cry, the squeaking porcine, the leap- ing fish, the odoriferous plants, the strains of luscieus music ever and anon stealing on the ear, the calm and contemplative air of the visiters, all tell of a repose only known in the paths of peaceful onterprise, and contrast very agrecably with the state of things which was uppermost in every man’s mind on the ooca- sion of the previous more ambitious exhibition. Magnifi- cent as Was that industrial array, glorious as was ita tes- timony to the inestimable value of peace and good will amongst men—the din of war which raged without, the uncertainty of what news the telegraph might bring on the morrow, whether victory or defeat, and a blood red ToM of slaughtered friends and foes, oftentimes gave an air of mockery to the dizzy scene, happily entirely want- ing now. Owing to the number of cattle sent—for besides the bovine race, of the ovine there are about 700 animals, and upwards of 150 pigs—it has been found necessary to construct stables ontside. Parallel with these sheds are the agricultural instruments aad machines exhibited by France and other foreign countries. Near the Cours la Reine is an elegant structure of two stories, the ground floor of which is occupied by rabbits of countless variety, and the upper by poultry, of priccicss value from their in flnite diversity of species. We have ducks, geese, wur- keys, pigeons, pheasants, partridges, pintados, &2., all mingling their several voices with the murmers of a flashing fountain which flings up its fantastic waters in the midst of them. The exhibition is intensely popular,and the knowledge that it can only be kept open some ten or twelve days acts as a spur to visiters. On Sunday, which was the first day of opening, the receipts were 18,701 francs. day before, the Emperor and Empress both visited it or making use of Prince Albert's wheel chair, which that personage presented to her Majesty during her visit to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, in 1655. The Empress looked remarkably well, considering the fearful passage she has gone through. — Her countenance is thin- ner and is slightly drawn, but there is the same tran: parency of complexion, the same winsome simile, the same divine cast of the eye, which now rendered her sic beauty of her epoch, and which the populace ever tired of gazing upon, A greater and more vorite of the people never sat on a throne, and I suspect her Majesty is not the less so that she is known to come of no royal stock. The Emperor evidently takes the liveliest’ interest in the exhibition. He himself is one of the largest contri- butors to it. He exhibits some fine specimens of the Durham shorthorns, reared by himeecif; and what is more important, some admirable examples of the results of crossing that race with the purest French that can be found. Some of these crosses are not inferior to the original Durham stock. Of course, however, we must Wait to see what can be produced in the third and fourth generations ere it can be decided how far improvement has taken place. To show that the taste is increasing among French country gentlemen, I may mention the fact ‘that yesterday a proprietor from’ Normandy purchased five cows of the Durham breed, at 100 guineas each. Some pigs from Austria are very curious. They c simile both in color and shape of the common wild boar. They stand high on the hind leg, ng pointed head, sharp ears, bristling mane, and deep bi lie in’ their pens strapped down by the neck, from which itis to be presumed that with the appearance they still retain something of their former savage nature. In great contrast with these are the Eng. lich pigs, of which there are some be: pecimens. Tt must be understood that all the animals are for stock, ce they are not int ‘y are ordin: en on these oc ame ‘time, to prove, 1 suppose, their ishing to observe, even in do carry.

The capital of the lottery is fixed at 400,000f., a sum equal to the estimated value of the gifts, and will be represented by 400,000 tickets ef If. ‘ The number of lots, among which are several magnificent objects of art, amounts to about 12,000, one being worth 25,000f.; another, 20,000f.; a third, 5,000f.; eight, from 3,000f. to 4,000f.; twelve, from 2,000f. to 3,000f.; eleven, from 1,500f.’ to 2,000f.; twenty-seven, from 1,000f. to 1,500f.; sixty-seven, from 500f. to 1,000f. ; 820, from 100f. to 500f., & The proportion of prices is one to thirty. The lots are exhibited to the public in the cast gallory of the Palais de l'Industrie, where the tickets are sold. ‘The estimated value, I suspect, however, these donations ix more specions than real. It is not said who has made the estimate, and I cannot help a surmise that the donors have been permitted to put their own. The lot mentioned ax worth 26,000f., is the grand piano of M. Erard, fitted up in the old harpsichord style, and richly ornamented with some exquisite paintings from designs of Wattea But M. Erard, who got it up purposely for the exhibition, where its exposure to sun and damp must haye seriously deteriorated it, never dreamed of realizing 25,000f. by its sale, whatever might have been his outlay in its production, Probably it itis much the same with all the other lots specitied, The following is the text of the letter which the Empe- ror has written to the bishops te invite them to attend the baptism of the Imperial Prince:— Moxsievr L'Evaovr DE 8 ‘We shall go ourselves to present our son for Mg tage in the church of Notre Dame of Paris, on Saturday, the [4th of June.

(Se SS Most Sin; Revelations. THE EXPLANATION OF THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE PASSENGERS OF THE ARCHIBALD GRACIE—THE TER- RIBLE ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. ap the New Orleans Delta, June 12.) Yesterday some passengers atrived’ in’ this city from Vera Cruz, by the steamer Texas, who hftve a strange story to tell—a romance of real life, which the imagina- tion of our novel writers could never attempt to rival—a record of treachery, adventure and misfortune unsurpass- ed on land or sea. The names of fthese gentlemen are E. §. Wilson and John A. Cullen, the former a native of Ken- tucky, we believe, and the latter of Virginia. About seven months ago they left Sin Francisco, with a large number of fellow passengers, on the Archibald Gracie, advertised to_sail direct for Acapulco, under the command of Captain Dennison, and thus formed a portion of the company falsely represented as filibisters, enter- taining designs of conquest on Southern California, Our readers are familiar with the arrest of that company in La Paz, the imprisonment of fts mem- bers, and their being placed in irons by the Mex- ican authorities; but nothing, or little better than nothing, was known ul the arrival of the Texas, of their subse- quent fate. Their statement, which we subjoin, tells une- quivocally the extraordinary’ history of their sufferings, to which we do not pretend to have found aclue. After a dreary imprisonment in La Paz, they were remoyed to Guadalajara, and subsequently imprisoned in Gua from which six of them escaped, in the hope of obtaining sal tion from the American authorities. They travel- led under most distressing circumstances, having been robbed of all their property—shoeless, penniless and al- most naked—a dismal journey, indecd According to their statement, M failed to do them justice, but neglecte as well as their wifortunate companions, the Mexican iron is eating still. We confess our astonish- ment at such apathy on the part of a minister of General Gadsden’s acknowledged ability; but the whole affair is as grimly grotesque and fanciful as one of Ariosto’s cantos. In Mexico, however, they found a little charity outside of the official headquarters, and received the sum of ten dollars from a lady who pitied their destitute and forlorn condition. Thence they started for Vera Cruz—all their travel being on foet—where they arrived, after walking about fifteen hundred miles, in time to be assisted by the kindbearted commander of the Texas, who brought them to this city. The generosity of the latter appears to be in marked contrast with the conduct of some of our promi- nent officials. The poor men are now in New Orleans, and if their tale can bear the test of examination, it is our duty to render them immediate and manful assistance. Ve tell this tale as it was told to us, and subjoin the evidence of ite truth.

Zerman, agent, as before named, ap- pearing as admiral. The gentlemen nayal officers were nerally, if not all, foreigners, French, English and ish, und spoke in language not understood by us. Captain Denison then represented to us that these were all commissioned officers belonging to the Mexican navy, and that it became necessary that the forms of changing flags should be gone through with. The said naval officers then lowered the American flag, and hoisted the Mexican flag, during which time the cannon was discharged, At the same time the gentleman named Capt. Denison stated to us that the change of flags and ownership of the bark would not make any difference in the rights of the passengers, ‘We further represent that about the eleventh day after leaving San Francisco we passed in sight of Cape Sun Tucas, and that two days’ sail to the southward of Cape San Lucas, and on the way to Acapulco, Capt. Denison tated publicly to the passengers that by a miscalculation, (and uot known until this time,) the «1 Was short ol water, and that Cape Sun Lucas was the nearest port; it being calm, the captain requested that the passengers would assist to tow, as their safety and that of the c required immediate attention and action, The passen- gers consented, and did assist to tow the bark back to Cape San Lucas in two days. While at the Cape of San Lucas we were informed by the offi- cers and by common report, that the Admiral Zerman and commanders of the Gracie, had chartered the whaler Rebeeca Adains, at that port, to assist the Archibald Gra cie in accommodations and provisions, in her passage to Acapulco. Capt. Fleury, a French sailing master, that had commanded the Gracie from the port of Sin Francis- co to the Cape Sau Lucas, was with others sent aboard the Rebeeca Adams, and Capt. Denison became the sail- ing master ot the Archibald Graci And again we sailed from the Cape Lucas, @m the 8ist of October, 1855, for Acapulco, to all appearances, and as we were’ informed. About two or three days’ sail from Cape Lucas, a small Mexican vessel, named the Florde Mar, met the Archi- bald Gracie and Rebecea Adams. _Adimiral Zerman hailed her, aud she kept along with the Gracie and Adams; and somle of the passengers learned from rumor that the A" miral had chartered her; for what object we did 1 § learn. ‘About this time we were informed that the Admiral had business at Ta Paz, and that he was directing the sails that way, to the great dissatisfaction of the passen- gers on account of time. We remained at sea nine or ten days nearly becalmed; on the 14th day of November, 1865, we were piloted into the port of La Paz. About this time the commanders publicly stated to the passengers that # any went ashore while in port, th y should not carry any of the arms usually worn ashore, and that they should respect the rights of the inhabitants, and take nothing without paying a full compensation therefor; that complaints were often made on account of rudeness while in port. Admiral Zerman then went on shore hime in frout of th chor the 14th there were three guns discharged from the f work, two Dalls entering the bark Archibald ing one passenger and wounding anothe! and the passengers made no resistance; a white flag was hoisted, and in two or three hours, six or eight men, in military drews, came aboard and communicated with Captain Denison, all appearing @ seeret to the passen- gers, all of whom remained on the vessels to tae Vith, about nine o'clock in the morning, at which time ity-five* Mexican soldiers came and took and Adams, and the passengers, and all and the passengers were made prisoners and kept in a manner that was barely sufficient to sup port life in its worst form, and in this miserable condition ‘we remained to the 27th day of December, during which time all of our valuables were either taken by the author- itice or left in acondition to be stolen or destroyed; 40 that we never again ebtained anything of our property. ‘On the 27th of Docember wo were put in heavy irons, put aboard the same veasels, and in twenty-four days, in this brutal condition, on the loweet criminal allowance, we ar. rived at the port of San Blas. From this port we were marched under an escort of soldiers, to Guadalajara, a dis tance of 880 milea-Spanish miles—and such as could not travel fast were prompted by the bayonet, and ono pas- senger had hie head broken by the breach of a soldier's musket.
