The present sovereign ig Abd-ul-Aziz-Khan ‘born February 9, 1830 (according to Turkish chro- nology 15th of Chabaun, A, H, 1245). He is the ‘thirty-second of the house of Osman, and the twenty- ninth who since the capture of Constantinople has ‘held-the throne. He succeeded his brother, Abd-ul- Medjid-Khan—the eldest male of the family taking succession, whether in a direct line or not—June 25, 1861, His children are Youssoff Izz-ed-Deen-Effendl, born October 9, 1857, Colonel in the army; Sultana Salihé, born August 10,1862; Mahmoud-Djemil-ed- Deen, born November 20, 1862, and Mechmed-S: > orn October 8, 1866. His only sister, the SI Adile, born May 23, 1826, was married to the late Mehemmed-Ali-Pacha June 12, 1845; so that the present vassal ruler of Egypt is connected by family ties with his souzerain, ’ ‘ The high Ministers of State are—First, Midhah.

Besides the Divan there are special councils, such as Justice, War, Admiralty, &c. Since 1868 there has been & Council of State (Chourai-Deviet), charged with the ‘preparation of laws, the discussion of the budget, &c., and is divided into five sectipns—Administra- tion, Finance, Justice, Instruction and Commerce. dt is composed of fifty members, Christians and Mussuimans,chosen by the Sultan, and the President, pe pling tcc (Ahkiami-adlijie-reissi), isa member of the Cabinet. The Ottoman Empire is divided into genera! gov- ernments (eyelets), under the administration of gov- ernor gencrals (val/s), These are again divided into provinces (iva) under lieutenant governors (kai- ymonaicans); these into districts (cazas), and these into villaves and hamlets (nehozes), Since 1895 the government has adopted a new sytem of provincial administ ‘on, founded on the principle of decen- tralizavion, which has been extended gradually to all parts of the empire, These general governineuts, guns the names best known w Americans, are as follows:— Governor Generale.

Port av PRINCE, Jan. 15, 1869. ‘The St. Mare people are anxiously waiting for the steamer which they sent the United States for, and the Southern rebels are also anxious about their steamer because Salnave is pressing them closely and has set the Piquets in motion in the plains of Aux Cayes, offering them the plunder of the town. These Piquets are numerous and: ferocious, and and it is feared that they will be the means of Salnave ge possession of the Southern ports. In the North everything looks different, as’no internal dissensions exist there, and if the Cape gets into the hands of the rebels they are all right. If the steamer for the rebels gets away from your side now is her time to go into the Cafre, which plage would be taken at once, ca News that is considered reliable from St. Mare represents that town as flourishing, A good busi ness has been done there, but, as in every similar case, it has been overdone now, and prices of duce have risen considerably, a good deal of si oA pine Savieg gone there from different parts of the The French Admiral is still here. His demands have not yet been satisfactorily responded to by the government. He demands that Victorin Chevalier (Commandant of Gonaives) must ‘apologize for having insuited French subjects and ill-used his powers. The French Admiral does not ize the blockade of Haytien ports, this not ing eiiciently done on the part oi the government.

During the Admiral’s s' in St. Mare two French vessels were obsenved trying to enter the port. ‘the Haytien steamer Salnave, going to Gonaives, saw them and prevented them. The Admiral no sooner heard this than he got up steam, went out and re- turned next morning. towing both vessels into the harbor of St, Marc, As this government has signed the treaty of Paris no paper blockade can be recog- nized. Only Mr. Seward thinks such a thing possi- ble, as his letter published in the Haytien Moniieur shows, It isdoubted whether Messrs. Hudson and Bliss, Who went to New York in the interest of Hollister, will succeed in their efforts to obtain a loan, and it is hoped that they will not, as such a sum of money in the hands of such a crowd as now rules over this part of the island would only tend toenrich a few persons and no good would come out of it for the country in general. Since Salnave went South again nothing has been heard from him up tilluow. The i, A. be Hart aifair bas been settled by the captain of the Nipsic. Mr. Seward asks explanations of the Haytien gov- ernment in regard to the steamer Petion using the American flag while going at the time into Petit Goave, where she destroyed the rebol steamers. Also about the Maraianza bombarding Jeremie be- fore having her tiag properly changed and with the American Minister on board. The American gov- ernment appears to be opening its eyes a little bit to what is going on here. Coifee $650. Gold 140, Logwood $230 to $240. ST.

BLISS, A NOVEL ANCHOR, Mr. Frederick Wittram, a native of this State, put more recently a resident of Cailfornia, has invented anew anchor, which must, beyond question, com. pletely supersede the various styles of anchors now tn use, and, in fact, the entire principle of their con- struction. The new apparatus is formed of a squared bar of iron, having two lateral “slots” cut through it at right angles to each other. The bar forms the Shank of the anchor, and at each end is attached a masetve iron ring, one of which, at the head of the Shank, 18 intended for the cable, and the other, at for @ buoy ro The fiukes of the two blades of iron, which are set in on @ pivot bolt, and will swing down on either side, so a8 to rest at acute angles from the shank and penetrate the mud.

Receptions by Speaker Colfax, Secretary McCulloch, Secretary Welles, Secretary Browning, Secretary Schofield, Attorney General Evarts, Postmaster General Kan- dell and Others, bes WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 1869. Everything has conspired to render this season the ‘most brilliant that Washington society has enjoyed for many years. ‘The weather has been amazingly One, one great desideratum in re! the vast and traditionally mud-bound streets of this metro- Polis endurabie. Blue skies and balmy Southern breezes have prevailed for the unparalleled stretch of ten days at a time—meet omen, might we say, of the fast approaching era of peace on this troubled earth, and good willeven among politicians, Then we have had an unusual concourse of strangers from far and near, and around and above alla happyy atmosphere of bright anticipations that the country 1s about to enter on a higher and more prosperous career under the administration of General Grant, and that the elements of political strife and bitter- ness are about to yield place to the true mission of Christian charity and all-embracing patriotism. Since New Year's day balls and receptions have followed fast on the heels of each other and filled up the cycle of this dying month, THE WHITE HOUSK RECEPTION. The White House led off in one grand and general reception, where all classes of society were repre- sented and the whole range of fashion displayed. SPEAKER COLFAX'S LEVEES. Then came Speaker Colfax’s popular levees, where the tone of ceremony was let down and hearty hospitality minglea with unconstrained ease. Here the visitor might find all shades of politics blended in rainbow harmony of color, and a general feeling of genial sociability lending its softening in- fluence to wear off the edge of stiffness and restraint. Friday last the Speaker held his crowning reception Of the season. His house is a modest cream-colored mansion on Lafayette square, much too small for the accommodation of the many that stream through its freely opened portals to greet the Vice President elect, Still there is no very uncomfortable crowding. The visitors eddy around the two principal rooma, and having paid their respects pass quietly out and give place to others, Mrs. Colfax received the call- ers with much grace and good nature. There is no Unge of the artificial in her manner, and if there is any restraint at all it arises from a disposition to check an exuberance of kindly feeling. She was dressed in pink satin, which appears to be a color well adapted to the neutral shade of her com- plexion, She wore white flowers in her hair and a chaste necklace of pearls. A little dis- tance away from her stood Mrs. and Miss Matthews, and their cousin, Miss Runk, all three attired in colors that made a pretty and effective contrast, The visitors were from every- where, aud all appeared famillar acquatatances, that the Speaker was never so glad tosee. Wonderful man is Coliax—through clouds and sunshine always the same cordial, smiling, whole-souled fellow. A pleasant word and look for everybody, never losing his equanimity, steady in his orbit. as the sun, and like the soiar luminary sending forth beams that warm and cheer the social sphere around him, Perhaps 500 persohs called upon him last Friday evening and went away in a happier mood of mind than when they came. Of course amid the mass many queer specimens of humanity straggle in. Hirain Jones, from Indiana, aud Baldy Brown, from Illinois, immense types of the Hoosier creation, with ill-fitting back coats and digits fearful to pe- hold, shoulder in to grasp the hand of the host, and, terribie to contemplate, the hand of the hostess also. olfax smiles, though they pat him to the torture. They lumber along by the ladies, bowing with a ludt- crous grace and roiling forth grotesque compiiments, But ¢hese are fine, big-hearied feilows, though their manhers be a little ore and awkward. The Speaker likes them, too. He takes a pride in these Western yeomanry, that have hewed down the vast, tall forests, and gone to the sea with Sherman. Then they are a portion of his constituents, and faithiul, energetic ones, also. SECRETARY M’CULLOCH’S RECEPTION. Passing from the Speaker's we find Secretary Mc- Culioch giving @ reception at the same time over the way on Lafayette square. You go up an ample brown stone stoop, surrender your overcoat and chapeau to an expectant waiter, and usher yourseif, with perhaps a dozen others, into the portly pre- sence of the head of the Treasury. Mr. sicCulloch does not sinile as Colfax does, There is not so much charm in the manner in which he relaxes the muscles of iis mouth. He has, however, a kind of country bred urbanity that goes a long way without being particularly fascinating. ‘he reception room is an ample apartment, at one end of which a group of handsome ladies lend their sweet pre- sence to the occasion, and kid-gloved cavaliers stop for a few moments to pay svine commonplace com- pliments and then move oi in the direction of the supper table and the reservoir of cold punch, ‘There was a full attendance at the Secretary’: last recep- tion, quite number of Senators, Representatives and foreign Ministers. Receptions seem to agree with the latter exceedingly well. It is the nearest approach our republican insiitutions will permit toa court drawing room, and by tue exercise of a little imagination in taking Secretary McCulidch or any- body else for the genuine article of royalty they monk amuse themselves with the monarchical idea sul ‘ SECRETARY WELLES’ RECEPTION. Secretary Welles, in an adjacent biock, gave a reception last week that drew a good many distin- guished people towards his mansion, The Secretary of the Navy was more than a figurehead on this oc- casion. He was unusually affable and communica- live, and took his guests by the hand with all that frank-heartedness of manner characteristic of the service. Mrs. Welles was dressed in motre antique of asubdued shade, and Miss Hi assisted her in the agreeable task Presented @ handsome contrast in = yn bes ems ngapphaue lace.

ATTORNEY GENERAL KVARTS’ RECEPTION, Attorney General Evarts has a knack ol making his receptions the most ente! in Washington, but tue may be owing to his New York experience, Evaris is not the ascetic that he looks. He can enjoy 4 lively dialogue and a giass of Madeira as well as anyone. Then his wife is a lady of the sweetest manners and dresses in the most delicate and refined taste, besides being as sprightly as she is handsome and accomplished. The last ption given by the Attorney General was the most brilliant of the sea- sou. e company Was select, the dresses of the ladies absolutely dazzling, the rooms spiendidiy lighted and the tout ensemble, 80 to spe: rarely Picturesque. General Grant looked beiter pleased than he has ever appeared, aud, with Admirals and Gol aa was highly en- tertained by sparkling humor the Attorney General. General Hancock was present, looking a8 usual the beau ideal of a martial hero, Ben Butler was in excellent spirtts and ready for a bantering tilt with anybody. The guests remained tll after miinight, which may be taken as a token that they enjoyed the occasion, SEORETARY BROWNING'S RECEPTION. Secretary Browning's last reception partook of the nature of @ feast, to which all the clerks of the Interior Department were invited. It was a great event for them, this free and easy intercourse with the big man above them. They sat down wo a liberal banquet and went home rejoicing. SECRETARY SCHOFIELD’S RECEPTION. Secretary Schofield had a latest reception. The prominent the other Cabinet oflicers came also, spent a littie time and then hied away somewhere else.

The Henrietta came into Hami!- ton harbor early last evening with a party of ladies and gentlemen from St. George’s, She was met im the Great Sound by a number of the yachts of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, but none of them of course attempted to Trace with so powerful a vessel as the Henrietta, she being nearly forty times larger than the be pod of ous fleet of yachts. The ‘ty on board the Hen- rietta were in ecstacies with her accommodations and astonished at her sailing qualities, as she did at one time on the passage up at the rate of fifteen miles per hour. ‘he Henrietta cannot otherwise than be admired as she now lies at anchor of Cler- mont.
