PARIS, Oct. 13, 1871. Some weeks age there cecurred one of those seenes which should not be suffered to pass unde- scribed, 1f any words ean describe the touching e@eremony in question—a ceremony which was fliled ‘the hearts of all true democrats with a serene and pleasing melancholy. It may be divined that allu- sion Is made to the inauguration of s monument to the tmmortal Baudin, the unbought, the unpurchas- able representative; a monument paid for out of the people’a pocket and which has been patiently awaited forsome time, But even the subscription has a history of ite own. The funds had, tn the first place, been taken, not without a certain solemnity, from the municipal strong box of the Municipal Counciiior, M. Mott. A spienetic Engiish- maa whe witnessed the transier of those funds for so plous @ purpose, a man who has traversed all Enrupe in search of the very deepest sensations, has aasnred us that the joy of the geod people on that effecting occasion reminded Aim of the time when he saw an uuhappy workman Grawa out of a well, However, on receipt of the funds, aud after nature had been suffered to have her way for @ while an‘ express herseif in profuse effusions of sentiment, a committee was appointed, which immediateiy went to work and examined successively ah the plans for the monument which Were submitted, Their choice soon fell, without much discussion, upon the one just inangurated, and which we shall attempt to describe. THE TOMB OF BAUDIN— the work of a man still young—unites to true artistic merit the advantage of presenting to tho mind images and ideas that are traly republican. There was one rock in particular to be avoided. The unhappy Baudin, while lying, had passea unnoticed in the ranks of the Left, and, however courageous his death, one might, in thinking of him, say, like Hamlet after ho had struck Poionius, “I took thee for a greater than thou art; accept thy fate; thou Knowest now that excess of zeal hath tts danger.’’ The sculptor has happily steered ciear of the diMcalty. In the Gene- sis of democratic ideas and eveats Baudin was the creator of Gambetta. Without the manifestation of November 2, 1868, and without the trial attempted by M. Pinard, the genins of Gambetta would have been retarded for some time, and have found no op- portunity to expaud but under the Commune. To speak, therefore, of M. Gambetta 1s to speak in the same breath of M.Baudin, That is precisely what the artist saw, and explains at once the concep- tion of THE PRINCIPAL GROUP, ‘which is placed on a pedestal about turee fect long by four wide. The unfortunate Baudin ts repre- sented falling mortally wounded. His right hand grasps a broken flagstaff; bis lef scems to make a gesture of despair; but an unexpected sopaniuon fixes is falling mght—a woman of a bold and easy micn, her nead crowned with the Phrygian Cap, extends to him a medallion whereon is the pro- Mile, so sweet, 80 pure, of Gambetta, and with her tinger soe points to the short but sdblime inscrip- tion:—“He will avenge thee,” This wonderiui crea- ture is France, An ineffable expression spreads itseif over the convulsed countenance of the un- happy Gaudin, aud he seems to say, “Thea I die contented.” The overpowering effect of this group has perhaps been borrowed from a drama whicn xl at the Porte salot Martin about the year he Shipwreck of La Pérouse."" In tue Jast act the heroic navigator and tis companions, stranded upon an inhospitable rocx, are quite pre- d for their fast sleep, wuen the curtain at te far end is slowly raised, revealing the Constivuent Assembly In session, where it 18 decided that au ex- pedition shall be sent in search of them. This delicate attention was, of course, consoling to the cast- aways, who thereaiter awaited tueir end witha good deal more resigaation, But way dwell ypoa the frivolities of deiail! However much or litt ie of originality in the frst conception, the execut on is extremely remarkable and does the. greatest honor to the youthful rival of Michael Angelo. M. Courbet bimselt would pardon the use of sympoli- cal figures im one who makes 80 good a use ol theu. THE BAS RELIRYS which adorn the four taces of the monument would each merit @ detailed description, We are obliged, unfortunately, to limit ourselves toa lew geLeral indications. ‘The first one represents M. Gamoctta repuring his speech for the Baudin trial The scene tumultuous gud agitated. We are ut the Calé Riche, wich is fillea with a noisy crowd of cus- tomers. While a waiter 1s bringing a Jager M. Gam- betta perceives the suade of Baudin, which, visible to him alone, inspires him with @ hatred of'tyrants and a love for the post of dignity. Second bas- reiie(—M. Gamoetta pronounces nia speech. Here the sculptor has been abie to display ali his pro- found science of drapery. The toga of Gambetta 4s studied with particular care. One feels that im- mortal traths are avout to issue from its folds, The Uurd bas-reitef is M. Gambetta in a baiioon, enve- loped in furs; besiae him @ cuckoo clock, which sirikes (0 AWaken the soul of France, an image at once grand and familiar. Finally, in the iourth, Which 1s (treated in the antique manner, M. Gam- betia is seen semi-node, like ancient neroes, wreathed—I will not say crowned—with laure, iis breast mali-clad, a sword in his hand, dictating to the faithiul Spuiler the vulletia of the famous victory of Epinay, near juineau, aud tdat ether where Trochu 1s compared to Turenne. For the sake of unity 1b was necessary tuat Spuller should be also very slimly clothed, and to tnis necessity we are happily indebted for two magnificent studies of tae torso, Bai Lam im a burry to arrive at THE CEREMONY ITSELP. It was at first resoived to give it great pomp ; bat the o1 17ers ee feared—a seniment whica does them honor—to disturb the minds of others, the occasion has preserved its cuaracter of touch- ing privacy.

Tac Prossian Government and M. Benedetth The Berlm correspondent of the London Daly News, writing under date of the 23d, has the fol- lowing:— Where has the German government ob:ained the materials ior the terrible reply which the Siacis Ance.ger has tbo given to Benedetits pretended @isclosures of what really took place between France aad Germany in tne ian bustle | ness? It is asserted that they have beea found in the imperial palaces near Paris, It must be sald that this does not sound very probable. The important State papers hitherto found referring to the Second Einpire were ail discovered in the ‘Tuileries, and there nobody else could have found them but the Government of National De cnce. Bat then how could they fail into the hands of the German government? We are evi- gently not yes at the end of revelauons; the whoie truth prodably Will never coms ouk What ts pow quite certain, and it gives great relief tothe pabiie here, 18 that Bismarck did not cans she war. The war was reully a gam ler’s act of despair on the part of the Kinperor Na- poleon. ‘That til-advised sovereign thougus himself compelled to play double or quits He did Not believe his throne safe witvout further annexailons, probably in consequence of the nu- merous opposition votes of the soidiers on the occasion of the last pchiscite, inGermanv/ For the paltry advautage of an io- Sgatfoant increase of sham electors supporting the government they ran the fearful risk of oppo- sition vores in the teeti of military discipline, every single one of which counterbalanced a thousand obedient votes. And a military govern- ment hke that of the empire could not but get nervous at such an ominous symptom, and then acted, not as reason advised, but as fear dictated, Jt is generally known here that in private con- versations with the #rench Ambassador Prince Bis- marc never informed him that the Cmperor Napo- leon would find Prussia opposed to the annexation o; Belgium, In fact, Bismarck himself last year indirectly conlessed this to the Rechstay, What he then said fn mts defence 19 inteiliviole enough.

It 18 because I do know American waters and “the salting craft thereon” that I was able to make the statement I did, which was intended to be of a general nature and to apply to the best form of vessel the naval architect can desiga for car- tying, sea-going qualities and speed; and although “Knickerbocker! terms my descriptuon of centre- board schooners as “tichly ludicrous,” he confirms my fact when he describes at great length that “uselul vessel” @3 being designed for and used in “the generally shaliow harbors of the United States, which are inaccessible to vessels of deep drangbt.”’ Ihave been on board and have examined veasels in America of that class of nearly 400 tons, and ad. mired their usefulness for the shallow rivers end creeka where they are required, and I have equally in the shallow waters of Holland admured ther flat-floored seaboard crait, and nearer home our spritsail flat-bottomed seaboard Thames barges; but after a stady of such matters for forty years it never occurred to me to look upon them tn the same light of excellence for sea-going purposes as our unconquered China clippers, tue yacht Livonta and ihe American yacht Sappho. Now, the Livonia ts an ordinary deep keel se: going vessel, with head roumin her cabins for a iman #ix feet high, with his hat on; in fact, @ large carrying vessel, as contrasted with any Amer can sliding-keel yacht oi her length and breadth, and I ooserve from the New York Yacht Club book before me that there are torty-one vessels or thereabouts in that important cluo, and as the ma- jority are, itke the Livonia, keel vessels, tt waa hoped they would have selected one of that kind to oppose her rataer than one ol a nature that in this country, where we fancy we do know sometning about match sailing, 18 Considered imeligivle for racing. isuickerbocker”’ says it 1s “childish folly to pre- tend t yacht bullding has any infiuence upon the Raval arciitectare of tue present day.” Now, nilow me to brings under his notice two im- provements out of many tuat have come to ny notice.
