FRANCE, OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. The News of the Impenchment of the Prest« te Eftect—Danger Surrounding the tific Commission for the Exhibition—Medal of Honor by the Rochelle Yacht Club, &c. Panis, Jaa, 11, 1867. The little despatch stating that the House of Represen- tatives had adopted a resolution to impeach the Presi- dent, flashing like lightoing acroas the Atlantic and over Europe, bas had a sudden and marked effect, In Paris, among political circles, it is the principal topic of conver- mation and comment, The newspapers publish short, which in ® day oF two will be followed by long articles upon it, American bonds go down on the Bourse on the Atrength of ik and the general gonclusion ws that our deuntry sin a dangerous canditaon. It ie impossible for one who hag not lived in Burope and inhaled invofun- tarily, for a time at leas', this monarcnsécal atm osphere, to thoroughly undersiand how intimate 1 the counes tion im European minis between the existence of tho soveroign apd thai of the government and ation which he rales. When President Lincoln was assassinated it was in Europe & matter of most profound admiration and wonder that the goverment costinued regu- larly without any interregnum or revolution, and that President Jonson is to be impeached—perhaps de- posed—al! the lessons which the United States has given Proving the stability of a republican government so in- finitely greater than that of one which depends upon the undisturbed possession of the seat of power by its ruler, have not yet convinced Europe that we can live and flourish through harder trials than this, It is imposstblo for Europeans to rid their minds of the comparison between such an event as that now transpiring in the United States and the forced dethronement of a sover- eign in Europe, which wouid almost necessagily be followed by revolution aud blood. Our friends mourn over it, and our enemies rejoice. There is a little on dit, which I give only for what it is worth, that the Emperor, when the news was communi- cated to him, remarked, ‘They will bave something to. occupy them now besides the affairs of Mexico.” But, with all our political troubles, I expect the Emperor is ‘well satasiied that our government is just at presenton a’much firmer and safer basis than hisown, He knows that the boast of, one of the Louises, “Tam the State,”” is fully verified jn himself, that France cannot discon- nect her idea of bis strong arm and unscrupulous will from that of the existence of the government !t- self; he knows that upon his life hang the hhopes of peace and stability in France, and that when his death occurs, in the progress of events, if bieson succeed him it must be through bloodshed and revolution, and he knows that not one French- man in a thousand has the slightest idea that there will be any regular succession in his dynasty, and thut after his death ali will be uncertain and chaotic. It is ‘a gloriously contrasting spectacle for old Europe, that ef our young nation, with its simple form of government, wading through blood in crushing out rebellion; en- during the assassination of a beloved President, and now perhaps preparing for peaceably and legally de- posing his successor, and still retaining her liberties, and coming out from the fiery ordeal brighter and purer, and more devoted than before, while they know that tn France, peace, order and quiet hang only on the life of asingle man, who cannot have a common cold without the state of his health affecting the political and financial market of Europe and exciting the liveliest apprenen- sions. Although the official announcement has not yet ap- ared it is generally believed that the session of the enate and Legislative body will commence in the carly pert of February. The Emperor has been desirous of jelaying the meeting as long as possible for the purpose of having at the commencement of the session as many of the obstacles to @ harmonious one removed, or in the process of removal, as possible. But it is believed that the coming session will be the stormiest which France has seen under the empire, and that the acts of the imperial government, will be sabmitted to a more searching, scorching criticism than ever before. Opposition and expressions of diasatisfaction, it is con- jectured, will come, too, from quarters whence the Emperor has least expected them; from members chesen as government candidates, but whose eyes have been opened to the necessity of a great change in government policy There are in the French legislative chamber four principal parties, First, the government—impzrial party, quid mime— the party which will support any measure of the govern- ment because it is a government measure. In direct opposition to this is the ‘extreme le‘t,”” the small party which opposes all the government mey do or propose, simply because it emanates from the government; a y composed in great part of republicans and honest haters of the Napoleonic dynasty; such men as Jules Eekeany ceee Ful tau hnd Jules Simon, mode: mand for Frante the full freedor hited States and. a, and who De et its: Maret r would be the destruction of the presen government. 1 we It A 7 is a small, very small force, ted in the - if by Emile Olivier, who, while rati themselves in the raike of the , are Waon aid the government in all the efforts which it may make toward liberality and liberty.

ON THE ICE. The Fearful and Fatal Accident co Shaters on the Kegent’s Park Water. [From the London Times, Jan, 16. bes acer f afternoon a fearful accident ie place on that part of the Ornamental Water in the Regent’s Park immediately opposite Sussex terrace, by which #lare number of ave lost their lives. On this part of the lake, the broadest, several thousand per- sons had been skating during the forenoon without any accident taking plage, although the ice was looked upon by the experienced icomen on duty as very unsafe, from its Deing Cee snow ice. About half-past three o'clock in afternoon there were near the same spot about five hundre@ skaters, among whom were many ladies, there being at the same time on the banks from two thousand to three thowsand spectators. Suddenly, and without apy warning, the ice at the aides of the bank beeame loosened, and was drawn from the edge, Within a minute the whole sheet of the ice over the full width of the lake gave way, and split up into fragments of a few yards sqi The consternation and alarm of tho skaters and ‘other persons on the ive pg eet rash was made for the banks. Unfortunately th ‘up the soft ice into- rT still amalter pieces. Ni ns fell \ibstinch Da-arat ious into.the water, which is at least ‘twelve feet deep, and several to be at once sucked under the ige. At least strug. gling in the water, screaming for help. A few, wi great presence of m: threw themselves flat upon the surface of the of te, and were thus not only in- Pieces strumental in saving the lives of many of those in the water, but preserved their own until assistance came. Tho screams of those struggtingand sinking in the water and the shouts of the people on the banks added to the hor. ror of the scene. What made the scene the more dread- ful was that the female relatives of many of those who fell into the water saw their struggles from the bank without the Possibility of saving them. One lady saw her husband sink and lose his life, while two sisters were sending forth piercing screams and calling on the people to save their brother. He was drowned, and the two ladies were taken away in the most pitiable state and sent to their home in a cab. Shortly beforo four o'clock a strong body of the D division of police and an additional number of icemen from Hyde Park arrived, but too late to render any aid except in getting out the bodies of thoso drowned, all the persons alive having by this time beer Tascued and taken to the tent. Some had suffered simply from the immersion and fright, but forty were lying more or less exhausted: The mosifmourn'ul part of the accident has now to be recorded. As soan as the ice was cleared a body of icemen and laborera with great diffiewity got out the boats to that portion of the water where it was known several persons had sunk, Before dusk seven bodies had been recovered, but it was known that there were many more under the ico, These will not be dragged for until this morning, as ft is quite certain life must bo extinct. It is the opinion of the icemen who witnessed the accident that there are at least twenty persons drowned. ‘The bodies, as they were bronght one by one to the shore, were taken to the tent, and their pockets searched for tho means of identifica- tion, but in no caao was this successful. Many instances of individual gallantry took place, One man, at the most imminent risk, plunged in and brought several children safely out. A gentleman, who broke through near the southwestern shore, fell so that his head and chest rested om a large block of ice, while his feet were in the water. There ho lay smoking his pipe fora long time while the boats were farther out picking up as fast a8 possible those ina worse position, le began, however,to realize his position, and,removing his pipe from his month, he called out, £50 to any one who wil} fotch me out!” Sevoral abortive at- tempts were made to reach him with ropes, poles, and ladders, A man with the aig of a ladder reached a small piece of sound ice, and endeavored to throw a rope to him, but it fell short. He thon managed to push the ladder en to a piece of ice further out, and papding on the former he again threw the rope, In inj 0 fell, and in clinging to the Indder he burt himself, and was drawn ashore.

They were:— Thomas Harvey, Jr., about eighteen, of No, 38 Spring. field place, Leeds, but’ ataying with friends at No. 56 Torrington square. ntieman named Woodhonse, aged seven- teen, of ford house, Tavistock square.

Ag alarm was immediately given, the engines arrived, and in ashort time three streams of water were playing upon the dames, which burst forth with great fury from the ground floor through the windows and doors the moment the latter were broken down. The firemen worked resolutely to arrest the progress of the fire for over two hours, but without avail, the flames creeping slowly from story to story and the water seeming but to add new fury to the flery elements. At midnight one of the upper stations was telegraphed for assistance, and three engines were sent down shortiy after the call for aid had been made, The fire ragod furiously up to half-past one o’elock this morning, when the firemen succeeded in getting the flames under control, though the building was burné out from ground floor adjoining the burning building, there was stored a large quantity of jeumm in barrels, ‘The firemen, however, broke ‘the windows, and, volume of blinding smoke building.

In less than five minutes’ time not a living soul remained in the build. ing; but several recovering ftom their untoward fright some time afterward, re-entered the house to look after their effets, and then ensued a scene of confusion which beggars description. From almost every window could be seen by the fitful glare of the flames that every now and then burst forth from story, tranke, beds, bedding and even looking glasses were thrown to the pavement amid a goneral scamper- ing on the part of the crowd that had gathered under the windows, By midmicht there was not lefe in the tenement house a single object which even a sneak thief would have stooped to take unlawful possession of. The eo No, 17 Atbany street was oceupied by Mr. James H. Doty as a cotton warehouse, and was owned by Mr. Chas Naylor. There was stored in the building at the time of the fire about one thousand five hundred bales of cotton belonging to varions parties in this city. All the cotton was destroyed, causing a loss of about $50,000, which, it is bolieved, was fully imanred by the several owners, The building itself—a five story brick—was damaged to the extent of about $20,000, every floor being burnt out, The origin of the fre has not as yet been ascertained.

A highly critical and fashionable audience, thas filled to repletion the cosy auditorium of this theatre, witnessed fast evening the presention of Paris la Nuit. As a standard play the drama has a very limited claim upon our attention. It is purely spectacular, although, on the French stage, that expression hardiy signifies that the work to which it is appended is merely a succession of scenes none of which bes the slightest relation to the other. Paris la Nuit tells the somewhat familiar story of » country youth who having tasted of the pleasures and disap- pointmeats of metropolitan life finally determines to return to green fields and concomitant virtue The adventures of the Jad furnish the dramatist abandant opportunity for introducing a number of characters and a variety of tableaur—an opportunity, by the way, whereof the authors of the productions te which we allude have made the most.. The stage setting was, last evening, excellent, The animated scene pre- sented by the masked ball was unquestionably one of the most striking and kaleidoscopic ever presented 1 this city. To the thoroughly good acting of all th artiste Iso to the werve with whieh they entered into the spirit of their respective impersonations, the great success of the piece was, however, principally due.
