Gathering of Cabinet Officers, Diplomats, Officials and Americans Abroad. MACMAHON ARRIVES The Hero of Magenta and the Great Union General Contrasted, (8¥ caBLEe To THE HERALD.} Panis, Oct, 30, 1877. The stay of General Grant in this city is being made as pleasant for him as it is possible. Among the many fétes in honor of himself and Mrs. Grant the official banquet and reception given yesterday by United States Minister Noyes will doubtless hold a prominent place in the illustrious soldier's memory. The banquet was a su- perb effort of Parisian culinary skill, which can work such gastronomic wonders when given carte blanche and when there is a cellar of Monte Christo to draw upon. It was regretted on every hand that Marshal MacMahon was not present at dinner. He had been invited but declined on the ground of having re- cently refused to be present at several diplomatic dinners, particularly that given by the Russian Ambassador. He promised, however, to attend the reception in the evening, AT TABLE, Twenty-two guests were invited, so that with the hostess and host there were twen- ty-four at table. ‘They were seated in the following order:— At the right centre of the table sat Mrs, Noyes. On the lady’s right were:~ General Grant. - Mme. Berthaut. M. Caillaux, Minister of Finance, M. Brunet, Minister of Public Instruc- tion. M. Voisin, Prefect of Police.

That charm- ing flow of polite and witty or at loast pleasantly pointed conversation which char- acterizes French dinners kept time to the melody of the ropast itself. There was no .English reserve to thaw. The French and the Americans s’entendent without difficulty, and hence they make the best of neighbors sround the snowy damask. THE RECEPTION, At about nine o’clock the general recev- Sernrnrnrne n0 near es stan ae ne see tee. NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1877.—TRIPLE SHEET, tion began. A heavy rain had been fall- ing all the afternoon and evening, the meteoric visitation being a remnant of the storm predicted by the Hexzarp. It of course had no deterrent effect on the invited, although it gave ao dreari- ness to the streets without, which, out of the selfishness of human nature, imparted an additional air of warmth to the spacious and splendid apartments of General Noyes. It was not long before the salons were filled with guests, THE COMING OF THE GUESTS, Out in the rain a long line of carriages extended far up the Avenue Josephine to- ward the Arc de Triomphe. The police ar- Yangements were, as usual in Paris, and above all where the Prefect dines and the Marshal-President visits, perfect. RECEIVING, The guests were received by General Grant, Mrs. Grant and their son, General and Mrs, Noyes, Consul General Torbert and Secretary Vignaux making tho intro- ductions. BRILLIANT COSTUMES, Mrs, Grant was dressed in a costume of heavy white satin, Mrs, Noyes appearing in a similar dress. General Grant and Minis- ter Noyes wore plain evening dross, Gen- eral Torbert, however, appearing in the uni- form of a major general, ‘The rooms as the guests arrived became perfect gardens of lovely colors, Brilliant uniforms, diplo- matic orders and decorations mingling with the sheen of silks and satins made up a wonderful picture, MARSHAL MACMAHON, Marshal MacMahon arrived early, He wore a plain evening dress with the ribbon of the Legion and a breast covered with orders. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, not showing the slightest trace of the long parliamentary struggle he hasbeen engaged in. MAGENTA AND RICHMOND. The Marshal stood for nearly an hour be- side General Grant, occasionally joining in the conversation and receiving the congratu- lations of the members of the diplomatic corps and the numerous brilliantly uni- formed officials who thronged the apart- ments. As the two renowned soldiers stood side by side one could not help contrast- ing them. Marshal MacMahon's ruddy, honest Celtic face, white mustache and white hair recalled the poet's figure of “a rose in snow.” Grant, calm, massive and reserved, wore the same imperturbable face so well known at home. Mac- Mahon seemed all nerve and restless- ness; Grant looked all patience and repose. The contrast in ‘person was indeed remarkable, although each had come to the Presidency of a powerful tepublic over the same red road. ‘The pas- sion of arms commanding two great nations had led each to choose its foremost soldier as Executive head. One has laid down his power at the feet of the people who con- ferred it. There is scarcely a doubt that the other will dothe same when the ap- pointed day arrives. Meantime two great warlike careers touched in friendship in the parlors of General Noyes. THE AMERICAN COLONY, The reception drew together the largest assembly of the American colony known in years and they compared favorably with the many European nations represented there. REFRESHMENTS. The refreshment tables were exquisitely arranged and well patronized, which is just how sucha host as General Noyes would desire to have his sumptuous hospitality appreciated. NO REPUBLICAN LEADE: The acerbity of French politics at the present time is shown by the fact that, although gencral’ invitations were given in the columnsof the newspapers and no cards were issued, not one of the leading mem- bers of the republican party or press was present. This was owing to the fact of the promised presence of the Cabinet being known. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS, M. de Fourtou, Minister of the Interior, and Lord Lyons, British Ambassador to Paris, visited General Grant to-day. CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, AN ELECTORAL COMMISSION IN PANAMA—WAS IT EIGHT TO SEVEN?—aTTEMPT TO AssAS- SINATE THE PRESIDENT OF GUATESALA, Panama, Oct. 20, 1877, The Electoral Commission has deciared General Correoso duly clected President of the State of Pan- ama KILLED IN THE act, An attempt was made on September 20 to assasal- nate Prosident Barrios, of Guatemala, by Felix Pajoo, alanatical priest, The President was dining alone in the town of San Pedro Jacopilas.

Dastardly Treachery of the Turks at Gorny Dubrik, LURED TO THEIR GRAVES. Renewal of the Montene- grin Struggle. [BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpon, Oct. 31, 1877, The headquarters of the Prince of Roumania and General Todleben have been removed to Bogot, in order, as alleged by a correspondent, that Poredin may be prepared for the Czar, who will take up his quarters there. It {is more likely that the change ts in consequence of & changed plan and point of attack against Plevna, ‘The Roumanian division commander who recently led the assault on the second Gre- vitza redoubt has been superseded, and the transfer of the Roumanians to @ point south of Pievna would seem to indicate the abandonment of attempts to capture the works on the east front and the establishment of better communication with the troops now operating on the Sofia road. WILL THEY AGAIN ATTEMPT IT? If the Czar really intends to remove the imperial headquarters to Poredin it may be the precursor o¢ another attempt to carry Ghazi Osman’s position by assault, at which, as at the attack of the 11th of September, the Czar would wish to be present; or it may indicate that the Russtans are confident that their opecations must result in the speedy capitulation of Plevna, A FORMIDABLE ADVANCE, Details of the affairs at Gorny-Dubrik and Te |- esche make it certain that they are more than mere raids on the Turkish communications ; that, in fact, they are part of a new Russian movement involving an entire change of front, which is still further developed by the transfer of the Rouma- nians to Bogot, CAPTURED AFTER BOMBARDMENT. Telesche was surrounded on the 28th inst. by one cavalry and two infantry brigades of the Im- perial Guard and one brigade of Cossacks. It was bombarded tor two hours trom seventy-two guns, when the small Turkish garrison surrendered. ‘There was no assault, and the number of killed and wounded on both sides was insignificant, A CHANGE OF FRONT, ‘The capture of Telesche indicates that the’ Rus- sians have a firm hold on the Plevna and Sofia road; but it is now yet certain that Plevna is entirely sur- rounded. The road to Widdin, by way of Rahova, it is belioved, 19 still in possession.ef the Turks and that Ghazi Osman Pacha will make a desperate effort to keep it. THE TURKISH LOSSES. A special despatch from Poredin says :—The Turkish loss at the capture by the Russians of the position near Gurnji-Dubnik, on October 14, was at least four thousand killed, besides wounded and prisoners. The Russians only succeeded in storm- ing the position at the third attempt. DASTARDLY TREACHERY. “They accuse the Turks of twice luring them under a destructive fire by displaying the white flag.” PREPARED TO HOLD ON. A Bucharest correspondent says the Russians are fortilying the positions at Dubnik and Telische, as they are threatened with a combined attack by Osman and Chevket Pachas, HAPPY MOUKHTAR An Erzeroum special despatch says that Moukh- tar and Ismail Pashas have retired to a strong position near Hassan Kalsh. The Russians occupy & position behind Koprikoi. TURKISH REFUGEES, A letter dated Adriauople, October 15, states that 20,000 refugee women and children were still there. RENEWING THE MONTENEGRIN WAR. A Ragusa correspondent says the opening of the bombardment of Podgoritza is expected in a few days, the Prince of Montenegro having arrived at the headquarters at Orealuk. GENERAL EUROPEAN NEWS.
