SPURGEON IN PARIS. | Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, Fed. 9, 1990, Mr. Ipwgeon in Paris at the American Ohapel—Kucitemy nt in Paris—General Description of the Preacher, ity ‘The American chapel in Paris bas been tho sceus #¢ n- usual interest, the great Baptist preasher, Mr. Se urgeon, having come soross the Channel expressty to. ofieiate within ite walla, His advent had been provoasly an- nounced by characteristic advertisements, ana among ‘the American and English residents the cw iosity to hear this modern son of thunder was extremo. Among the French, if one may judge from what was seen at the American chapel, the same fecting di@ not prevail, for, except about halia dozen of the Prov .stant pastors, tho Ang)o-Baxon element in the congrega on was without al- Joy. A little confuaton was produced ' by a notice in Palig- nané’s Messenger on Monday morn' ng, statiog that this evening Mr. Spurgeon would bo!l@ forth at the American ehspel, in the Rue de Berri; an& though many suspooted the trath—that it was a biunder ef the printer, as it was eontrary to the previons notice? , and indeed was almost impossibility, unless Mr. £ jpurgeon had commenced travelling immediately after 1? :¢ elose of bis Sunday da- ties—sti!! a great many perer ng went to the chapel, only to be told to call again to-mae crow, as the Messenger was all ‘wrong. On Taceday evening,te,wever, the great gun was there and no mistake. La‘¢y€ioring, the pious widow of Sir Barry Goring, Bart.,¢v.ve him and his wife the shelter of her magnificent apartment in the Place de Clare de Tri- e@mphe, amd the Amcrican paator, Dr. Prentiss, weloomoi ‘him to bis pulpit. “The chapel was crammod to sutfucr- tion. Seats were feand for the ladios, but by far the greater number of the gentlemen remained standing throughout, Exrotly as the olock struck eight Mr. Bpurgeon, escorted bya number of pastors of various persuasions, made his way frem the vestry to the pulpf. ‘His extreme youthfulness seemed vividly to impress evory one. Ho has only just completed his twenty-fifth yoar. His stetare is rather below the average, and his person is somewhat thick.set and round shouldered. There “Me something decidedly attractive in his physiog- Romy, which has an O’Connell-like good humor about it, ‘and an expression of epenness and frankness not to be misundergtood. His forehead is not imposing, though fairly developed towards the temples, but the brow is prominent, and the eye full of intelligence. ) Mr, Spurgeon immediately gave out a Psalm, and, after the first verse had beem sung, said:—‘Thia is but a feeble cry, my hearers; could we notjsing a little louder?”—an exhortation which seemed rather more to affect the or- ganist than anybody else, who endeavored to make up for the want of vocal vigor on the part of the congrege- tion by the increasei volume of his instrument. Mr. ‘Spurgeon then read the whole of the 1034 Psalm, com- menting on such passages as seemed to invite further elu- cidation. In this there was nothing particularly striking, except one, which was the voice. One mast not say it was vox ef proeterea nichil, because it would be unjust; but apart from the voice and a singularly distinct enuncia- ‘tion, there was nothing but what a very common place preacher might have uttered. The commentary was 20 Jong that I began to be afraid that nothing more was to come. I was, however, mistaken. After giving out another bymn, the great affair of the evening—the ser- mon—began. ‘The text was Acts, 16th ch., v. 31:—‘And thoy said, Delieve on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt bo saved, thou and thy house.” Thave mentioned Mr. Spurgeen’s voice. It is impos- sible to exaggerate its majestic volume and penctrating quality. The walls of the American chapel seemed ready to crack under the pealing notes that rolied in torrents from the wonderfal tungsof the man; and although Mr. Spurgeon has a command of a copious imagery, which under any circumstances would rivet attention, there is no doubt that the tones of such @ voice have much to do with the world-wide reputation he has now obtained. - His fuency of diction lous.

I was myself, said Mr. Spurgeon, addicted to this bias tendency, and it grieved mo a0 sorely that 1 ancient » long used to analyze tho phages of the haman mind, on this subject. His anawer was, bow do these thoughts thomseives; have they a sequence; do they follow one another in any logical order? “No,” I replied, “thay do not; they dart upon me, now here, now there.”” Then, said my friend, they are eupernataral—they are no part of your real nature; it is be none of his, tormenting {t in its upward.

The probability is, the Emperor sees distinctly that, in, the presence of the Papal question, the immense difllealtion. that still surround the Central Italian question, the vis in- extia of Avstriny the restlces atate of the Galtican clergy, it he dogged jealousy of the monopoliste, and the feverish Btate of the money market, the Savoy question ts a. Dagatelle, or that in fact the purpose is sufficiently effected. for the moment by the project having been fo far agitated. ‘The arguments deduced in favor of annexation may easily be allowed to stand over to a more convenient season, ‘when those eventualities with which the womb of time te already pregnant ehall come to light. Great uneasiness undoubtedly prevails. A genoral no- tion exists that the whig ministers in Eagland canuot long make war against the formidable opposition menaced by” the conservatives, and that tn cnse of the advent of Lord Derby, peace between the two countries is not worth » month’s purchase. It is this feellog which, ecombiaed with the prestige which Austria has earned for horself” even in defeat and insolvency, operates as an under- current on all transactions at the Bourse. The pro- ‘grees of all securities is in a dowaward direction, and alt commercial men seem to speak with bated breath of what: way come next. ‘There are those, however, who do not scruple to ex- press their convictions that this continual troubling of the waters is a part of a system which Napeloon feels he can- not afford to dispense with. Repose, it is said, is for go. vernments deeply rooted in the soil of time. Govern- ments who date their origin frem yesterday can only be_ come strong by diverting serutiny and speculation to: oth than the source ot their power. For this it. is that Napoleon keeps the world under @ perpetual pro- cess of counter irritations. Everything, every clazs and interest, ia put on the qui vive. The workmen are made to» feel that there isabundance of employ, that come what will they shall always be welcome to labor and I: genial fruit. Thus main source of uneasiness is-effectually yau- quished, The commercial classes aro made to know that their own affairs are just now far more important than - matters of mere political interest. The clergy are taught. ‘that their real head is the Emperor bimsolf, and the mili- tary. spite of any casual disarmament, are impressed with the boliefthat greatevents are at hand in which the rdlethey will play sball be pregnant with honor,.dietinction and ‘wealth. Protound observers point out how Louis Philippe escaped with impunity so long ae one assassin after an- other kept blazing away at bim and interesting the world: im his personal safety; but the moment he was let alone and tranquillity seemed to have taken his dynasty to her peacefal bosom, the foet of his throne were rudely torn asunder and the mcnarch was turned adrift. We shall never be quiet, it is urged, therefore, s0 long. as Napoleon ~sits where he does, and the only thing to take care of te, that some substantial advantage accrues out of such a. atate to the country. ‘The encyclical letter of the Pope was read in every” cburch of the empire last Sunday, and though nothiag in the shape of outward demonetration was manifested, it 1. ‘well understood that the government is perfecily aware ot the danger attending such manifestoes.
