Banquet to General Sheri- dan in Paris. ‘The Cunard steamer Java, Captain Martyn, from Liverpool March 18, via Queenstown the 191n, ar- rived at this port yesterday. She brings two days laver news than that brought by the steamship Oceanic, Marshal MacMahon, accompanied by his wife, the Duchess de Magenta, arrived in Paris on the 16th, via Brussels, General Vinoy has addressed @ circu'ar to all the generals commanding the Army of Paris, couched in severe terms, It is stated that 3,658 crosses of the Legion of Honor have been bestowed upon the French army in recognition of its services during the war. In Addition to these rewards about the same number of military medals have been distributed. M. Legouvé has written to the French papers com- Plaining that licentious pictures and photographa, which during the siege entirely aisappeared from the shop windows, bave now begun to reappear. An enormous trophy, composed of the captured Freach eagies, arms, &c., 1s being constructed in Berlin for the triumphal entry of the troops. A per- manent monument of the war is also to be erected, Dus it will not be completed until next year, Among the large number of French officers who have just paesec through Belgtum on ther way from Germany to France were Marshal Canrobert and Generals Wimpffen and Ladmirault. The Luxembourg Gardens nave been closed to the public. Tne 115th regiment of the line is encamped there. Three other regiments occupy the boulevards near the Observatory. King Amadeus has received from the Emperor of Russia and the King of Sweden letters of congratu- Jation in reply to the announcement of his accession to the throne of Spain. The Madrid Gazette announces that the King has conferred the Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Oharies III. on the Spanish poet José Zora. A letter from Kiel to the New Cross Gazette saysi— The steam gunboats captured from the French at Orleans are expected here. The carriage of these trophies by railway has been a most dificult task. A special train was required for each boat. The q@nailest of them will be taken to Potsdam, where it ae used by the Grown Prince for his trips on the THE EASTERN QUESTION. The Last Meeting of the Conference—The N.w Treaty. On the 18th of March the fifth and last altting of Me Conferenos, at which the Duke of Brogile, as re- presenting France, was present. M. de Brogile signed the “annexe” to the protocol of January 17, Lord Granville then read, article by article, the Graft treaty annexed to the third protocol and the following articles were agreed upon as those which Were to form the new treaty:— Azri01.B 1.

The Conference has taken upon itseif the duty of giving legal validity to a decision which Would otherwise have been adopted without color of right. Ships of warand arsenals may henceforth be jawiully prepared for the invasion of Turkey; and English Sapitalists are ready at @ moment's Notice to provide for the cost of construction. It Would have been a better arrangement to open the narrow geas withoat conditions or limits, so that an.

Nor can it be denied that it was a mistake, while rivoiing afresh so solemnly the binding char- acter of old contracts, not \o admit frankly that Europe needs some method of revising from time to time the international contracts on whion the Euro- pean nations haye entered, and deciding which among them ought to b> regarded as cancelled by the all-dissolving agency of historic change. The Oficial Journal, of St. Petersburg, in an arti- cle upon the resolutions of the Conlerence, says:— Notwithstanding the unmeasured and passionate outpursts of the European preas the Powers have not, interpreted Prince Gortchakoft’s note as & chal- lenge, or as indicating any secret design agatnst the honor and peace of Europe, but consider It as a rea- sonable and upright proposal. ‘fhe result of the Conference, while atecting no rights and requiring no sacrifices, restores rights which had been tnter- fered with, removes a symbol of international mis- trust, strengthens the sincerity of the relations ex- isting between the Powers, and is an act of justice and a pledge of peace. The Journal des Débats, of Paris, speacing of the Tesult of the Conference, says:— It requires all the proverbial cynicism of the chief organ of the English government to rejoice at an issue which is only a deep humiliation for the policy jursued daring the last forty years by the Western owers, Engiand suffers for her Prussian policy, ana Lord Granville in particuler suffers for the un- fortunate obsequiousness with which he has yielded to family predilections, Every fruit of the Crimean war is lost, We must not be satisfied with fine words, but frankly face the situation. As far as we are concerned we have done for @ long time with politics and sentiment. The sword of France is broken to-day; it may once more be unsheathed from the sca! , but it will not be for Turkey. ‘The alm will not beso distant as the integrity of the Ottoman empire. pe Other French journals write in the same strain, ENGLAND. The New American Loan. [From the London Economist.] The prospectus which has been issued of the funded loan of the United States indicates that ouly ® bdartial attemgc(s now to be made to carry into effect the scheme of Mr. Boutwell. Tne whole loan was to comprise $1,500,009,000, in three classes of bonds—one bearing five per cent interest, amounting to $500,000,000; a second bearing four and one-half per cent interest, amounting to $300,000,000; and a third bearing four per cent interest, amounting to $700,000,000, the whole redeemable in ten, fifteen and Unirty years respectively. And that this triple issue was seriously intended was shown by the announcement that subscribers for equal amounts ofeach class of bonds, and next subscribers for equal amounts of the five and four aud one-half per cent bonds would be preferred to subscribers for the five per cent bonds only, The present issue, how- ever, 1s for $209,000,000 only, and tho five per cent bonds, payable in ten years, are exclusively offered. So far the change is Wise. 1t was Dot reasonable to suppose that so long as American: six per cent se- curities were @ little under par, or only slowly get- ting above it, the low rates of interest contemplated by Mr. Boutwell could be realized, though the pros- pect of such @ conversion at an early date, as American credit improved and the accumulation of money for investment increased, was not at all vnreasonable—provided always the conversion scheme was properly ‘baited. But the idea of con- yerting at five por cent exclusively is not s0 far amiss, as there 1s no doubt now that the Ameti- can 81x per cents Would go above par if they were not redeemabie. We see many objections, however, to the particular method koposed by Mr. Boutwell. Apart from the unfavorable circumstances of the present moment, it seems to be a mistake not te make the conversion @ forced one and apply to the whole debt, Mr. Boutwell making sure by o! ring a bonus or in some other way that all ho'ders of the existing debt will convert or that he will find money to pay off those who refuse to do so. The fatlure of the present experiment, if }t should fail, ougnt not to be conclusive against the success of a laa ex- Fig adjusted carefully to the state of eis, the ip fpeent degree of American credit and the likings of the investing classes, FRANC.

At three o’clock on Sunday @ detachment of the Two Hundred and Fifty-second regiment came with the Ted flag and deposited the crowns to cries of “Vive la Repudlique Universal!” marched twice around the Colerine and then a speech, Then came the Two Hundred and Twenty-fourth with a biack flag, with a large inscription in white letters, “THE REPUBLIC OR DEATH |’? Toward four o'clock another detachment of Na- tional Guards, accompanied by several of Garibaldt’s heroes, bearing @ read and & black flag and several crowns of life everlasting. They ex- cited the people @ great deal, and wild cries were heard among them of “Vive Garibaldi and the republic,” Then the lead- ers of the company would make a short speech, éach man take a litte bunch of the immortal and place it in his button hole, and march off, The last company that arrived were republicans of a more moderate belief, they having beautiful silk banners of thé national tri-coiors, and the inscriptions, “Vive la France et la Republic,” deposited their wreaths aud made a@ speech, to the effect that each citizen should do his duty and obey his commander, But the crowd was not so enthusiastic over this speech as over the preceding ones. A fine band played all tho national airs, and no disturbance of notice occurred. A feature of these detachments climbing up the ladder to the column of the Bastile 80 a8 to March around, was the “daughters of regl- ments,” who accompanied them in their ascent. OF course, toud erles of “Vive la fitle du Regiment 1” ‘These “filles” are not remarkable for the beauty of their faces—but if your foot is pretty show it. THE RED FLAG stil Moats on the top of the Bastile, The Figaro, alluding to the red flag having been placed there without the slightest authority and supplanting the true national colors of France, says:—"The republic of the United States is not cerlainly an ideal of per- fection; there are many, many disadvantages to be found; but is ta the image of order, and whoever should take it into his head to place ona public monument any other flag than the ‘Starry Flag’ the author of such & scandalous act would be imme- diately judged, not by the government, who would not have time to interfere, but by his fellow citl- zens.” It appears from this article that the repub- Mc of the United States is the model which tho Figaro offers to the French, What renders the United States powerful Is that she 1s accepted and obeyed by the ent.re world. Even all the royalists in Europe demand hospitality of it; and this repub- lic has lasted nearly a century. FRELING TOWARDS AMERICA, The Parla Journal and the Mot d’Ordare call the Americans ‘‘singuliar republicans” — President Grant felicitating the Prussian empire, ‘while France,in the past bas shed her blood for Yankee freedom,”” The same Paris Journal has a long list each day of the Germans who have had the hardi- hood to return to Paris alter having served iu the army against Paris, HOSTILITY TO GERMANS. Tho following is the manner in which the paper denounces those who have returned:—“Editor of Paris Journal, Henry de Pene:—Sir—M. Brow- bacher, tailor, 47 Rue Richeltea, is a Prussian—has returned to Paris to commence again his business, Yours, &c., Leon Benoit.” Others who have been denounced have received orders to leave the city in twenty-fourhours. Several who refused were arrest- ed. Speaking of the papers that were suspended by government on Saturday La Pat says:—'We are passing through an agitated phase, and the political waters im which we swim are very tempestuous, and, troubled thus, giving an excellent chance to a crowd of miserables to fish therein with profit.’’ These papers, Us true, were all sensational. Le Vengeur las been suppressed three times; once it gave the most scandalous accounts of the private ufe of Jules Favre. The crowds of boys and giris sell- ing these ‘Papers were provoking to the extreme. It was one of these papers that caused great excite- ment on Friday evening by crying out, ‘‘Assassina- tion of the Emperor of Russta | Six hundred thou- saud men marching to Constantinople!” &c., &c, CONDEMNED RIOTERS. Four of the rioters of October 21 nave been con- demned to death, The day they were condemned four journals were compelled to suspend publica- uon—viz., Mot @Ordre (of Rochefort), Le Vengeur, La Bouche de Fér and La Crie du Peuple. Banque, who is one of the condemned, is out on bail, but nob in Paris, and likely he will remain away. A SINGULAR CASE ig to be bronght up to-morrow before the Court of Assizes. A mock regiment of Nationals, who pre. tend to be organized, and received, under false p tences, thirty cents each man per day; another com- pany of National Guards, who numbered 250, all represented as married, drew fifteen sous each per day for their wives, while 250 men drew pay for 273 wives. The case is to be investigated. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL. A grand musical soirée in aid of poor artists took place on Sunday atthe Grand Hotel. ‘he bill a’ the Grand — on the same evening was very inter- esting. Madame Lacay appeared for the first time in the solo of the second act of ‘‘Armide;” Berthe Tibault sang in the scenes of the fourth act of “Ham- let,” “Faust” and “Semiramis.” The trios were wellsung.

Large satin stripes are very mach worn in evening and dinner toilets, but nothing of much note will be seen before April or May. The press on the subject of modes de Paris, says that it is fear of Beilville that prevent the ladies irom dressing, and states that aris has been much hurt by the threats of these defenders of the “republique rouge,” who Insult every one who happens te be decently dressed. There seems to be no law or reason to prevent these people. Their ideas of lberty, equality and fra- ternity are at a low standard, LIBERTY OF BILL POSTERS, On Monday noon a biil poster, whether for spite, curlosity or to make the advertisement more conspicuous, posted upon a fine residence on Boulevard Haussmann an immense green placard, “Dr, Charles Albert cures instantly ail secret mala- dies.” A large, indignant crowd assembled and de- clared the fellow ought to be arrested; but the Na- tional Guards were not in the vicinity, se that bill poster got off all right. The crowd tore down the placara, DURING THE SIEGE some of the most absurd advertisements were posted up on many fine residences and nothing was sald, but to-day such an act and such an advertise- ment as this billposter wished to leave on the fine house of Mr.T. on Boulevard Haussmann was un peu trop fort. The boulevards are now rather clear of the soldiers, who are mostly camped on the Champs de Mars.

A Commercial Crisis Feared, The Paris correspondent of the London Globe re- fers as follows to new dificulties now arising:— There is a loud outcry against the new law which, by requiring commercial bills to be paid within seven months after their date, makes payable this very week the great mass of bills that fell due in August last, and that were left unpaid on account of the war. People say that If the object of the gov- ernment had been to “strangle”? commerce it could not have made & better enactment, During the war trade of all kinds was almost sus- ended, and traders had to maintain themselves and families out of previous savings; how, then, is it pos- sible that they caa pay heavy bills all at once? Pay- ment, they contend, oug! t to have been postponed for several months, or made a in small instal- ments. ‘They predict that if the law be maintained ‘unaltered it will produce a commercial crisis of un- exampled magnitude, A still more serious matter if possible than that of biils is the payment of rent in Paris. The last two quarters were, by authorization of the govern- ment, leit unpaid, and a third ove will, by the end ofthe present month, be due. The great majority of the Parisians, having sustained serious losses in consequence of the war and of the siege, are withous funds; but the landlords want their What 1s to be done? Among the work- ingmen the remedy desired is very simple, but rather radical—a law declaring that no rent shall be exacted for the three quarters, As to tho better classes, some think a reduction ought to be accorded, but others would content themselves with time being allowed for payment. je government has charged @ commission to e: ive the matter, and it 1s disposed to recommend that ia 6vé) trict a number of persons shall be charged td arbl- trate between landiords and tenants—that ta, to grant reductions im, or 9vj total of the rent due, or to Tae Saagh tos the ne <tr learned, by a Joni 2 ent of it. But the proposition for compensation meets with no favor among the public. {t is @ general measure, applicable to all, tnat is desired, not the facihtating of individual arrangements or the grant of charity.

The Civil and Military “Old Women Who Didn’t Know What to Do.” DAYLIGHT REVENGE ZuRICH, March 10, 1871. Zurich, that city so celebrated for keeping its doors open that it never closed them for thirty years, has had some little diMcalty on a late ignoble occasion in keeping them shut, There are, you know, in this place a good many Germans and Ger- man sympathizers, and also many French ‘‘tu- terned”’ and many French sympathizers, The Teu- tonic element resolved some days ago to givea festival in honor of the oneness of Germany, &c., but owing to the arrival of so many of Bourbaki’s fugitives they had postponed their gala. At last, however, it came off (March 9), and proved rather What Artemus Ward might style A GAY AND FESTIVE CUSS than otherwise. It was to take place In the Music Hall of the city, and in the evening of the appointed day a large number of German-minaed folks, both iadies and gentlemen, might be seen wending their way toward ths building. There ts a large open square before the hall, and here groups of rather suspicious looking characters were assembled, view- ing the guests with no favorable eye. Mideed, little UNCOMPLIMENTARY APOSTROPHES were lavished upon the gentlemen a3 they went by, such as “German thief,” ‘“Prassian cur,” &¢., which were expressive, though inelegant. The guests, however, were not easily moved, but quietly passed in to thelr entertainment, which was to partake both ofan oratorical and a musical character. It was about half-past seven in the evening that the com- Pany arrived; so darkness outside made the threat- ening voices more formidable, and one almost won- ders at the presence of several hundred ladies whose patriotism for Germany prompted them to Grace the scene. The hall was prettily decorated with the black, white and rel fag, and the black, red and gold one. A large picture of Germania also adorned the room. The ladies were placed in gal- lerles which ran around the hall, the floor being oc- cupied by gentlemen, and by a platform for the ppeakers and musicians, men Ss A WARNING SPEECH The assemblv having collected in large numbers, and the whole scene presenting a festive appear- ance, the Festival President, Professor Dr. Wish- cenns, rose to speak. Of course, everybody ex- pected the proceedings to be opened with a few Words on the glorious aud joyful occasion of the meeting—something about Swiss sympathy or Ger- Man Fatherland love; a singular sensation, there- fore, was caused by Professor Dr. Wishcenns begin- ning to address the assembly thus:—“I must earnestly beg this meeting not to take any notice of anything that may go on outside, and on no account oreo the building; the greatest possible precau- 1008 bavebecn paken, ang the expected attempt to 6 TAAMUItY will he anangetioany Bt RED, oP ne eesain ly livel, commentary 0 the words of the learned Professor was here supplie noth shower tee ager upon the of ihe fet Se anet ni united, tho managers of the fete continued We reoR Ee eiee alaentey, Ee eR THE FESTIVAL, pas It had been settled that the festival should com. mence with music and singing, and with music and singing tt began, in spite of tie stony shower ‘yhich Was more suggestive of the “hailstone cheras!’ than of any other music. After this performance the President began his “feast speech,” as they called it, but once more with an alarming rattle the malcontents outside chimed in with a salvo of stones. The President, as cool as a cucumber, begged that the meeting would pay no attention to the stones, and ise with his speech. It need hardly be said 1 was the stones and not the speech to which the audience attended. Nevertheless the speaker went on tll he had finished what he had to say on the sympathies of Switzerland, Other spéeches followed, for they held on to their pro- gramme with startling perseverance. “Letthe speeches be made though the stones should fall” appeared to be their sentiment, if nobody listened that was everybody’s own fault. The President then rose again and sald he was “now able to inform the Assembly that troops were advancing to their defence, the Guards of the interned French soldiers were march- ing to the hall. ‘The chorus now attempted the very popular ‘Nun Danket Alle Gott,” and the results Were something awful. ‘There was a tremendous rash atthe pri fa entrance on the part of the beslegers, during the singing. A violent struggle en- sued, which resulted in the capture of two men armed with pitchforke. Alter this agreeable little parenthesis PROFESSOR SCHERR, the celenrated author of -Blucher and his Times,’’ got up to speak. Wonderful to relate, he was so eloquent that he carried the room with him, and while stones flew in through the ORASHING WINDOWS, his audience, superior to the occasion, cheered him vocilerously. “Let us march agatast Philip,” cried the Athenians when Demosthenes had spoken, “Let us disregard the siege,” said the assembly (men- tally) when boa heard Scherr, But now outside the soldiers were heard advancing—excelient reserve troops—but the stone throwing seemed only to wax the faster and more furious, Still the courageous “festivity” struggied on, and with a patriotic perse- verance really reinarkable they now began to sing tho “Victory Song’? of Franz Abt, singing it ail through down to the last verse.
