CAL.0 ARO. AYE nr-pommahos ui it, Lav epeakers congratulated the assembled guests upon the prospect of a speedy triumph of the Southern arms, This club is formed for the purpose of keeping up a Southern organiza- tion and influencing public opinion ip Poyjg. Unfortu: nately there is too much enobbery among the loyal Amé- ricans here to admit of any such close alliances as the Southerners have formed, and which, !p a social point of view, have exercised no little influence in their bebaif in Paria, . It is to be hoped that the ‘‘club’’ will, among its other Objects, embrace that of providing for destitute rebels in Paris, come of whom, after having exhausted the patience and pockets of their secession friends, apply to the Ame- rican Minister and Consul for relief. Such casesare by no means upfrequent, A fow days since a tall Georgian walked into the office of tho American Consul and im. plored him to do something for bim. Hie story was that he had been in the rebel army, had been taken prisoner by our forces, had escaped, and, rather than return in search of that ‘last ditch,” had managed to get to Europe. Here he had been living from hand to mouth. He had been to Mr, Siidell, who informed him that he had 0 many applications for relief that he could give them no attention. All be wanted was to get to @ seaport, confident that then be would find some means of returning to America, where, according to his statement, he intended entering the Union army. fe proposed to wal to Havre, and desired the Consul to gi him some sort of a document by which he would be ena- bled to ‘camp out” at nigbt on the way without moles. tation, This, of course, the Consu! could not do; nor could he, officiaily, furnish him any relief; but, the general be- nevolent disposition of himself and the Vice Covsul com: ing to bis assistance, they gave him enough from their own pockets to enable bim to reach Heyre, and the Georgian went on bis way rejoicing. The Monitewr of this morning publishes the reply of the Emperor Alexander of Russia to the imperial propo- gition for a congress, The highly courteous and appre- ciative terms in which Russia considers the imperial re- quest contrasts strongly with the rude and uncivil reply of Earl Russell. England gets no credit anywhere in bu rope for the impoliteness which characterized this diplo- Matic act, and it is sow believed by many that Em- ror will be ableto make such representations to the ‘owere which bave accepted the proposition ‘in princi- le”’ that he will be able to convene a congress to de- iberate upon the affairs of Europe, and in which England will not be again called upon to take part. Should this be so, tho formal rupture of the unholy alliance between France and England will soon follow, and other alliances be formed which will make England tremble for ner aafety, asshe did three years ago when all the land was bristling with volunteer bayouets to repel a French {nvasion. Some startling statistics, exhibiting the immense expen. diture of men and money tn sustaining the “armed peace of Europe, have just been published in a report of 3f. Legoyt, chief of the statistical bureau of the French Ministry of — Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works. According to this statement, which, from the author’s position may be considered perfectly reliable, Austria keeps up an army of 467,000 men, which Goats her 336,000 000 francs; France au army of 673,000 men, which cosis 688,000,000 francs; Prussia an army of 214,000 meg, which costs her 156,000,000 franca; England an army of 300,000 men, which comnts 677,000,000 france, and Russia an army of 1,000,000 of men, which costs 629,000,000 francs, That ia, out of the total budget of each of those States, an expenditure of thirty-seven por ceut in Austria,or more thane third, thirty-three per cent in France, thirty in Prussia, thirty-nine in Eng- land and forty-two in Russia. Let us also mention Italy, where 329,000,000 franca are expended in keeping up force ot 314,000 mon; Turkey, weighed down by an arm of 424,000 men; Denmark and Sweden, the first wit 50,000 and the second with 67,000 men, by which their Dudgets are increased to thirty seven and forty por cent respectively. Thoether secondary States follow in an b Bodner. ‘M. Legoyt, adding together tbe eifecti the E ies, according to estimates which he than superior to the reality, ar- rives at the fearful number of 3,816,847 men, ard an out- lay of 3,500,000,000 francs. ‘The work In question, the publication of which just at this time would seem to be intended as an argument in favor of the meoting of @ congress, then makes the fol- his Interesting Comments upon the above stated facts: — “Now let us for @ moment suppose that, by an un standing between the great Powers,@ disarming in the proportion of one-half was effected.
