Naval and Military Intelligence. The following General Memorandum and copy of Admiralty Minute have been issued by Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, the Admiral Commanding-iu- Chief the Spithead Review fleet : " General Memorandum. " Victoria, at Spithead, July 18. " I have much pleasure in promulgating, for the information of the flag officers, captains, command ing officers, and crews who served under my orders at the Naval Review yesterday, the accompanying Minute of the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, communicating her Majesty's approval of the manner in which their respective duties were pet formed. " I reque:st that Rear-Admiral Weltsley, Roar- I Admiral .Warden, Commodore Tarleton, and the captains and other officers of her Majesty's ships assembled at Spithead and in Portsmouth Harbour, will accept my thanks for their exertions and able assistance in carrying out the arrangements con nected with the Naval Review, although the com plete fulfilment of the programme of the Review was interfered with by the state of the weather, which prevented the intended evolutions of the fleet under way. " I have further to express my approval of the general good conduct of all classes belonging to the fleet during their stay at this port, and to make known to the officers and 500 men of the Royal Naval Reserve, who volunteered their services for the Review, the satisfaction with which I have re ceived from Commodore Tarleton reports of the zeal and efficiency with which they discharged their duties on this the first occasion of their being em ployed on service with the fleet. " The accompanying Admiralty minute, together with this memorandum, are to be read to theofficers and ships' companies of her Majesty's ships at Spit head and Portsmouth. . _ " T. S. PASLEY, Admiral. " To the respective Flag Officers, Cap tains, and Officer commanding her Majesty's ships and vessels at Spit head and Portsmouth. " ' July 17. " ' The Board of Admiralty has received the com mand of her Majesty to notify to Admiral Sir T. Pasley, and the flag officers, captains, officers, and men who served under his orders at the naval review this day, her Majesty's approval of the manner in which their respective duties were performed. " The Board is further commanded to express her Majesty's gratification at the spectacle presented to her Majesty in passing through the lines of ships which were drawn up for her Majesty's inspection. "My Lords direct that these commands may be made known to the fleet. "By command of their Lordships• " s W. G. ROMAINE. " Admiral Sir T. Pasley, Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth.' " Admiral Sir Thos. Pasley has struck his flag on board the Victoria as Admiral Commanding the Review Fleet, and rehoisted it on board his own flagship, the Victory, in Portsmouth harbour, as Port Admiral and Naval Commander-in-Chief 01 the south west district, and the Review Fleet has therefore now ceased to exist, and the dispersion of the ships that formed it has already commenced. The Phcebe, 35, screw frigate, Capt. Bythesea, V.C., and Liverpool, 35, screw frigate, Captain J. Seacombe, are away on detached duty, escorting the Viceroy of Egypt across the Channel on the conclu sion of his visit to this country, the handsome paddle vessel Helicon, Commander E. Field, having been again selected as his Highness's yacht. Rear-Ad miral F. Warden's squadron of ironclads will leave Spithead for Dover Straits, to act as escort to his Imperial Majesty the Sultan on his return from his present visit to this country. The Royal paddle Osborne, Commander John D'Arcy, is coaling and being otherwise prepared at Portsmouth to proceed to Dover to convey the Sultan across the Channel to Boulogne. The officers and seamen of the Royal Naval Re serve were discharged from the several ships in the Review fleet, in which they have been temporarily serving, yesterday, and forwarded to their respec tive homes from Portsmouth by rail. The Victoria, screw three-decker, Commander Win. Codrington, went into Portsmouth Harbour yesterday at high water from Spithead, as did also the Sutlej, screw frigate, Capt. Travanon Coode, both vessels to dismantle and pay out of commis sion. When the Victoria again leaves Portsmouth Habour it will most likely be as a turret-ship—an improved Royal Sovereign, for which her engine power, strength of frame, and length of floor render her eminently suitable. The Liffey, 35, screw frigate, Capt. Gerard J. Napier, sailed from Spithead yesterday afternoon, on her return to Devonport. The Warrior and Black Prince, armoured iron frigates, both took out their ammunition yesterday at Spithead, and will return to Portsmouth Harbour. Capt. J. Corbet and the present officers and crew of the Warrior—recently turned over to that vessel from the Black Prince--will turn over to the un• armoured screw frigate Mersey, and the last-named frigate will, therefore, become the flagship at Cork in relief of the Black Prince. The Warrior will be recommissioned on the day following that of the transfer of her officers and crew to the Mersey, it is reported, by Capt. Lord Gifford. The turret ship Royal Sovereign, Capt. Cowper C. Coles, C. 8., had a cruise by herself yesterday morning in the Channel, south-east of the Nab, and had a little dumb practice with her turrets, under the supervision of her energetic captain, a strong W.N. W. blowing at the time. On the turret ship's return to Spithead she dropped her anchor off the eastern end of the Spit bank, in readiness to re enter Portsmouth Harbour, or otherwise, as may be ordered. The vessels anchored off Stokes Bay, as the western vessels of the two lines of the fleet, have removed their berths to the edge of the Spit bead shoals. Three of these, the Water Witcb, hydraulic propelled, and the Viper and Vixen, twin screws, have to make a series of competi tive trials, off Portsmouth, in the Channel and over the measured mile in Stokes Bay, in all of which the Water Witch, although she has to drive a larger midship section, with the same engine power as the Viper and Vixen, it is an ticipated, will prove the victor. The Scrapis, screw troopship, Capt. Soady, has left Spithead for the Thames, in readiness to convey the Belgian volunteers back t 6 Antwerp. Her sister vessel, the Malabar, Capt. F. B. Rich, went into Portsmouth harbour from Spithead yesterday to take in stores previous to making her speed trial over the measured mile, and sailing for India. Capts. Noce and Sommers and the officers of the Italian corvette Iride and the Danish iron-clad cor vette Pedre Skram, paid a lengthened visit to Ports mouth dockyard yesterday, and inspected the ships, docks, basins, workshops, and other objects of inte rest in the establishment. In the evening, accompa. D ied by the Danish and Italian Vice-Consul, M. Vandenburgh, they were entertained at dinner at the Admiralty-house by Sir T. S. Pasley. The sailing Indiaman Sussex arrived at Spithead yesterday with military invalids on board, for the Royal Victoria Hospital at Netley, from Calcutta. An order was yesterday received at Chatham gar rison directing a detachment of 38 non-commissioned ofil era and men of the Royal Artillery, from the head-quarters of the Ist division of the depot bri gade, to be placed under orders to embark in the Indian steam transport Malabar, 3, 4,173 tons, 700 horse power, Capt. F. Rich, for service at the Straits Settlement of Malacca, with the other troops about to b e despatched to that station. The detachments will embark on the 21 inst., should the Malabar be ready to receive them by that date. The chartered steam transport Sea:Queen, Capt. Seymour, belonging to Messrs. Seymour and Co., of London, having already a heavy cargo from the docks, yesterday sailed from Woolwich Arsenal, after shipping in one of her compartments 14 121- ton siege guns, with their iron slides, carriages, plat forms, &c., to complete the armament for the new batteries on the bastions of the island of Malta. She also took in 6009-inch Palliser chilled shot and other stores at Woolwich, and called at the powder maga zine off Gravesend, where she filled in her powder compartment with 500 barrels of powder. She was to sail that evening for her destination. The Eliza beth Tatham, sailing freight ship, also left Wool wich laden with builtling materials for the hospital under construction at Bermuda. A large number of the Belgian Volunteers have visited the departments of Woolwich Arsenal and Dockyard during the week, orders having been given by the Admiralty and War officials for their recep tion any day during the working hours. On Thurs day an accident, which fortunately was not attended with the consequences which might have befallen him, happened to one of their number while they were inspecting the dockyard saw-mills. He ap proachei very incautiously the revolving circular steam saw, and was caught by the driving band, causing a lacerated wound across the hand and fingers, which bled copiously. He was taken at once to the local infirmary, where he stated to Dr. Play fair that he was a medical man. He assisted in ap plying the nccessary remedies himself, although suf fering great pain from the wounds. The B and E batteries of the B brigade Royal Horse Artillery, in command of Lieut.-Col. Reilly, C. 8., and Capt. Saunders, and the A and E bat teries of the Bth brigade Field Artillery, iu com mand of Capts. Whinyates and Sievwright, are ordered to go down to Wimbledon this morning from Woolwich to be present at the review. Miscellaneous Foreign News. (From Correspondents of the Anglo-American Times.) PARIS, July 18. I promised in my letter last week to give our numerous friends now visiting Paris some hints how to get along there. Singularly enough since its publication I have been indirectly reminded of that promise by a gentleman who called at the office to purchase the journal, and who, in the course of conversation, said, all at once, " By the way, I wish you could recommend me a good hotel or restaurant, where I could breakfast or dine reasonably ; I make a very light breakfast, but I have never as yet paid less than four francs, and the dinners are charged in the same proportion." "My dear Sir," said I, "in rambling through Paris for the purpose of visiting its various places of public attraction, it would be utterly absurd for you to think of losing your time in coming back to breakfast or dine at any special hotel, when you can obtain all you want at almost every dozen yards distance ; and as you speak a little French, you say you cannot encounter the least difficulty. Set out first with the knowledge that in Paris, as I believe' is the custom generally in France, the breakfast and dinner form the two special, if not the two only, meals of the day. At all events they are what one may term the pieces de resistance, and each not much unlike the other. The first is taken about eleven, or very nearly ; the second from five to six, or a little later. This is a piece of information worthy to be remembered, inasmuch as the great bulk of the restaurateurs naturally make their provision for their guests at these hours, and at another time of the day would be found proportionably unprovided. The next thing to be remembered is, take what's going, and don't ask for things difficult to procure at once. At each meal you will have for a certainty a choice of soups, meat boiled and roasted, vegetables of several kinds, and frequently fish and game. In like manner you are sure of several sorts of cheese, various kinds of preserved fruits, and coffee at the fin;sh, with a miniature decanter of eau de vie, of which you may take as much as pleases you, either in your coffee or par se, the decanter being marked with a graduated scale, so that the smallest quantity taken is perceptible to the experienced eye of the garcon in attendance. In most restaurants you will find a carte to order from, with the prices attached, but in all other instances you must muster up French enough to demand what they have, and to give your orders consequent upon the information. And now for the cost. If the reader be millionnaire or gourmand, or both together, I should recommend him the Freres Provencaux, where the bill of fare for the dinner would probably resemble the following :—Potage au lait d'amandes, tranclies de melon, raiis roses et beurre de Bretagne, buisson de coquillages, bouchCes alaßeine, MatelotteLegionns ire, E-arecotessur fonds de tornates, Supreme de Poulets Vichy aux moraes, Hourai Is a l'Atnericaine, Dindomreaux Bareutin nature, Feves Sautees au beurre, Girolles de Fon tainebleau a la paysanne, Reine Claude Peches d'Arcueil, Figares frappes au Champagne, Frontage Louis de Baviere, Porie Laurent, Chateau d'Aygnem, 51, Dupre ; Clos de la Maltroye, 65, de Seuve raine ; Chateau Kirwen, 56 ; Champagne de Venoge frappe. If, however, the reader should, ou the other hand, be only an ordinary mortal, satisfied with supplying the wants of nature, and believing that if he has any spare cash there are many better ways of employing it than in gourmanderie and prodi gality. I will venture to draw his attention to another carte, which he may regard as the ordinary and average type of the restaurants of Paris.

If ho can consume a whole bottle let him demand un litre. If a pint suffice him une chessine pronounced shopeen. If he be still more modest in his requirements un denzise tier, pronounced shortly mistee, will produce for him a good half pint English measure. As regards the arrangements of such restaurants, taking as an ex ample the one whose carte I have quoted pnr hasard, everythin g bespeaks th , 3 utmost neatne and order, the waiters are attentive and well dressed, the table napkins white as snow ; an 1, as an instance illus trating the remarks I have just male, I will men tion the nature and cost of a breakfast which a friend and I took there the other morning. We were supplied each with a mutton cutlet bedded in potatoes fried in slices, and exquisitely cooked, a salad, bread. My friend had a large cup of excel lent coffee, with its usual accompaniment. I preferred a tumbler of light w i ne . We paid one franc seventy-five centimes total for the two; that is to say, somewhat less than eighteenpence, English money. As we left my friend remarked, " I dined yesterday at such an hotel," naming the hotel in question, " for which I paid eight francs." I may be permitted to doubt the fact of the cuisine at that hotel presenting a greater variety than the unassuming _liaison Rustique. At these restaurants you way fee the waiters if you feel 5 , ) disposed, but THE SUN, LONDON, SATITROAY EVENING, JULY 20, 1867. on woman suffrage has boon circulated extensively in America. hope soon for better things. When actual and bitte experience has opened our oyes, then will bo ou time to address you with a hope of success. When you come to know the true power of capital and labour combined in friendly effort, how dependent the ono is upon the other, and how ruinous to both is enmity and distrust, then I shall hope to see the day when slavery shall be abolished in fact, both for black and white, and when, animated by a common spirit of industry, harmony, and love of country and of human pro gress, all shall labour to make our State blossom as the rose, and turn her waste places into seats of refinement and delight. My word for it, my friends, there is not a good man among your former masters but prays for the hour to come when hg may without disfranchising himself work for you. As you are to be citizens, we want you to be intelligent citizens ; as you are to be our neigh bours, we want you to be kind and loving neighbours. In every aspect of the case, it is our true interest to help you to fit yourselves for the new life to which you aro called. if you will permit us, we will do it."

Boice as Consul at Hamilton, Canada West, for tho United States of America. Kossuth's son has been rejected as a candidate for the Hungarian Diet, and even the election of Kossuth himself, who is also a candidate, is by many considered doubtful. Frank Iliscock has been elected a member of the Convention, in succession to his murdered brother, L. Harris Hiscock.

By the Prussian Embassy at Paris, the Prussian Consuls in France have, in virtue of a decree of the 21st of Juno, been informed that all Prussians travelling from French ports to Transatlantic countries aro henceforth to enjoy the same privileges which wore hitherto limited to French emigrants. Thus every Prussian traveller will in future be entitled to demand from the emigration officers at Strasbourg, Paris, Havre, Laubach, St. Louis, Wissen bourg, Bordeaux, Bayonne, and Marseilles, any informa tion respecting his journey, and to lodge complaints on any wrongs and injuries ho may have suffered in his voyage.

On Thursday the freedom of the City of Edin burgh was presented to Mr. Lloyd Garrison in recognition of his long and meritorious exertions to abolish slavery in North America. Mr. Garrison, in accepting the honour, said that in the universal gladness that is felt at the aboli tion of that great curso which gave birth to the rebellion, and to all the misconceptions and misdeeds attending it— and in the success attending the effort to maintain tho American Union inviolate on the basis of impartial liberty It is said that the Empress Eugenie will leave on Sunday or Monday next for Windsor, on a private visit to Queen Victoria. Her Majesty will stay at Windsor two days, when she will probably return to Cherbourg. The wheat crop this year, it is anticipated, will be the greatest crop of that grain ever grown in the United States. A careful analysis of information from all the States shows that the total acreage in wheat is 10 to 15 per cent. greater than last year. In a majority of the States the breadth of winter wheat is quite as wide as usual, and that of spring wheat is much greater. The reports of the condition of the crop show that it is much hotter than last year, and the harvest is estimated at 200,000,000 bushels. The harvest has already begun in the South, so that the crop of the entire country may now bo considered free from any ordinary danger.—Baltimore Commercial. The Watchinan and Reflector thus describes the Masonic Temple, for which the President visited Boston to assist in the dedication :—" Tho present structure is of granite, and has a front, facing Tremont-street, of 85 feet, and rises 90 feet to the battlement. An octagon tower on the south corner rises to a height of 121 feet, and a smaller one lifts itself to a less lofty height at the north corner. The main entrance is supported by heavy buttresses rising to the second story, and on the left is a circular tower, which begins at the second story and rises to a height of 111 feet. The .exterior of the building is ornamented with appropriate masonic emblems, balustrades, mouldings, and armorial trophies. It is the most magnificent edifice in New England, and is a monument to the genius of its architect, Mr. M. W. Wheelock, whose death before the completion of the edifice on which he had lavished the best work of his brain was a sad loss to the art circle of Boston. The interior corresponds in tasteful and elaborate finish with the exterior, and is divided into rooms suitable for the meetings of Masonic Lodges. The Washington Republican has the following : A ffEavy UsDERTAKIxo.—T here is a Brooklyn gentleman in the city who offers to contract with the Government for the effectual 'removal' of the Indians on the plains, at a cost absolutely trifling, compared with the military opera tions as at present carried on. His plan is vory simple, being the establishment of a few distilleries in each tribe." — We would call the enterprise that of a heavy under taker. —there is happily manifested on both sides of the Atlantic a growing desire to adjust all differences between the two countries in an amicable and magnanimous spirit. Mr. Atnasa Sprague has laid out beautiful and convenient grounds at Narragansett Park, Rhode Island, which will be inaugurated on the last day of July and the Ist and 2d of August, by a great trotting meeting, during which the association will give two races on each day, and distribute $lO,OOO in the six purses. MAXIMILIAN'S DECREE OF OCI. 3, 1865. The following is Maximilian's address on publish ing his famous decree : “Mexicans,—The cause which Don Bonito Juarez de fended with so much valour and constancy has already succumbed under the force, not only of the national will but also of the other law which that officer invoked in sup port of his pretensions. To-day even the faction to which the said cause has degenerated is abandoned by the depar ture of its chief from his native soil. At the show this week at Bury St. Edmonds, of the Royal Agricultural Society, steam-ploughing and cul tivating was represented by Messrs. Howard, of Bedford ; Messrs. Fowler, of Leeds; and Mr. Burrell, of Thetford. A lessrs. ina Ho chi wa u r e d r ;xhibited their now system of steam culti vatingwhich is worked by a pair of 14-horse s elf - propellingengines, each fitted with two winding drums, drawing the cultivators simultaneously to and fro be tween them. Messrs. Howard also exhibited their double action cultivator and four and three furrow steam ploughs, besides a two-furrow plough for very deep work, and another steam cultivating apparatus, which consists of a 10-horse power portable engine, with separate wire laps and ropes. An addition to steam cultivating machinery, which Messrs. Howard also submit to notice, is Bulstrode's patent snatch-block slings for cultivating apparatus, worked on the stationary principle, and by means of which the anchor can detach, and move forward the block while the plough is crossing the field. The American war steamer Shamrock and the British steamer Redpole have arrived at Lisbon. The North tar, from London for Philadelphia, which sailad from the Downs about the 14th of February, has not since been heard of. It was lately denied that flogging was allowed in the American army. But, if a correspondent of the Tribune is right, American officers do not confine that punishment to the soldiers, but extend it to the citizens. A man named Hendricks received 100 lashes by order of Colonel Dodge, of Fort Sodgwick, without trial of any kind, for the alleged offence of selling whisky to the soldiers. The writer gives a minute account of this moss unusual and uu-American punishment, and states in con clusion—" Flogging, bucking and gagging, and stretching soldiers spread-eagle' fashion, seems to be the order of the day here." " The National Government for a long time was lenient, and exercised great clemency, so as to give those misled and misinformed men an opportunity to rally to the majo rity of the nation, and to place themselves anew in the path of duty. It has fulfilled its object; the honourable men have assembled under its banner, and have accepted the just and liberal principles which regulate its politics. The disorder is only maintained by some leaders carried away by unpatriotic passions, assisted by demoralised per sons, too ignorant to comprehend political principles, and by an unprincipled soldiery, the last and sad remnants of the civil war. Hereafter contests will only be between the honourable men of the nation and the gangs of criminals and robbers. Clemency will cease now, for it would only profit the mob who burn villages, rob and murder peaceful citizens, poor old men, and defenceless women. " The Government, resting on its power, from this day will be inflexible in its punishments, since the laws of civilisation, the rights of humanity, and the exigences of morality demand it. "MAXIMILIAN. " Mexico, October 2, 1865." COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD.-FRIDAY. At our market to-day English wheat met a fair demand, and the business done in fine fresh parcels was at is to 2s higher than last Friday's rates. Other articles unaltered. LIVERPOOL-FRIDAY. There was an average attendance at to-day's market, and wheat met a good consumptive demand at 2d per cental advance on the rates of Tuesday last. Flour was in steady r quest at 6d per sack advance. Indian corn in netive, at a decline of 3d to 6d per qr. Oatmeal is per load dearer. Barley firm. Oats in good request, and prices fully supported. Malt as before. PERILS OF A NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT. The correspondent of the New York Herald narrates the events which befel him in following the career of Maxi milian. " The instructions," he'says, " which carried the present writer into the camp of the Imperial army were brief and to the point—' Follow Max, and write regularly and fully.—El. New York Herald.' To follow Max from Orizaba and Puebla, when he had determined to continue the struggle, was an easy task, and had already been accomplished before the telegram was received. To fol low him from Puebla to the capital, and thence to Quere taro, was a more difficult matter, and, among other in conveniences, involved the person undertaking it in the following little perplexities :—Robbod to the skin, two ; showed fight, and did not get robbed, two ; captured by Liberals, ono ; captured by Imperialists, one ; days under fire, seventy-two ; struck by spent bullets, two ; slightly wounded by shells, one ; lived on horse, mule, and dog flesh for days, thirty-six ; travelled on horseback, stage, and muleback, leagues, 450." Arrived in Queretaro two days before the advent of Maximilian, the Herald's representative incurred a strong risk of being promptly strung up as a Yankee spy. Three clays pre viously he had seen Marquez manifest an earnest inclina tion to hang a couple of American travellers he had en countered on the march from Mexico to Queretaro, because they happened to possess passes from Escobedo and draughts on the capital —an inclination only restrained by the active intervention of the Emperor Maximilian. In Queretaro, before the advent of the Imperial forces, Mira mon was omnipotent, and Miramon, more polished and educated than Marquez, was even more virulent and dan gerous in hishatred and dread of foreigners. The arrival of the Emperor alone relieved him of peril." THE NEW DOMINION OF CANADA.—Lord Monck has appointed the lieutenant governors of the four Cana dian provinces as follows:—Ontario, General Stistod; Quebec, Sir Narcisse F. Belleau ; New Brunswick, General Doyle ; Nova Scotia, General Sir W.F. Williams. Lieut.- Governor Belleau has already been sworn into office, and left Ottawa for his capital, Quebec, on Wednesday morn ing. The other lieutenant governors will receive the oath of office at the capitals of their respective provinces; power has been transmitted to the judges to that effect. It is also understood that the military governors for the provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have been appointed. Governor-General Monck left Ot tawa, Thursday, for Quebec, and on the Ist of September will return to the former place for his permanent resi dence. Thomas D'Arcy M‘Gee has left Ottawa for Montreal to look after his election. It is reported that he feels sore over his exclusion from the Privy Council. The following is a correct list of the Canadian Ministry, with tho departments to which the members have been assigned :—Sir John A. Macdonald, Minister of Justice ; G. E. Cartier, Militia ; T. Galt, Finance--; S. L. Tilley, Customs; William Howland, Excise; P. Mitchell, Marino and Fisheries ; William l'il‘Dougall, Public Works ; Alex ander Campbell, Postmaster-General ; Joan C. Chapels, Agriculture; Mr. Archibald, Secretary of the Provinces; Hector L. Langevin, Secretary for Canada ; Adam S. Ferguson Blair, President of the Council ; Mr. Kenney, Receiver-General. The population of the dominion of Canada is about 3,800,000 souls, and extent of territory 377,045 square miles; the public debt is some $75,000,000, income about $18,000,000 ; and thus the new State enters the political world. The London Review, in an elaborate article on the Supreme Court of the United States, gives interesting and, in the main, accurate sketches of the chief Justice and his associates. But it falls into one gross blunder. It confounds Nathan Clifford, of Maine, with Hon. John Clifford, of Massachusetts; and says the former was one of the most brilliant lawyers of Massachusetts and once a governor of the State, but lost popularity by ultra-eon servative views on the slavery question. Such an error is not creditable to a journalist claiming to be well in formed; but it is less culpable than a similar one very current a few years ago in England, when Noah Webster and Daniel Webster were often allu 'ed to as one and the same person. English insularity is not favourable to accurate knowledge of the men or the interests of other nations.— Watchman and Reflector. LETTER FROM EX-GOVERNOR VANCE TO THE FREEntree.—Hon. Z. B. Vance has replied to the invitation to address the freedmen of Elgecombe and Nash Counties, in North Carolina, in a letter in which he expresses his regret at his inability to accept, and says :—" Much damage will doubtless be done before your people, see the designs of those Tille wish to lead thew now, but I they do not expect it, considering the inexpen siveness of the consommations. Generally, a gratuity to waiters would render them richer than their masters. The Sultan has reason (to use a French idiom) when he admired the cuisine Francaise ; he would have been still more interested had he had an opportunity of witnessinghow greatly that cuisine, when applied to the benefit of the working classes, ameliorates their condition. Make a slight reduction as to price in the carte I have just given ; take away a little of ornament and luxury, nothing of real comfort or utility, and the ouvricr, or working man of Paris, has all the appliances and comforts of living I have enumerated, entirely within his reach. Let any one who wishes to see the condition of the working men in Paris give a look in at an establishment recently set up near the New Opera, under the name of the Bazaar Vinieole, and he will see a hundred and fifty men seated on three long rows of talles—the cuisine at the lower end of the apartment—where they take what they require, paying for it at the same time. Waiters are constantly passing, though not clad in black, to supply them with wine, or whatever else they may have occasion for, and the ensemble gives one the idea of a public dinner in England at eightecnpence or two shillings per head. In point of fact, the sum of sixpence (English money) pays for cooked meat, vegetables, wine, and bread, so that it is actually as cheap, if not cheaper, for a working man to take his meals at such establishments than to return to his own dwellingfor that purpose. At an age like the present of international concours, the smallest item which can tend to the amelioration of a people, perhaps I should rather say of huma nity, is not to be disregarded, and though France has her defects as well as her advantages, there are yet many things in which she can well give a lesson to other countries. But I have, I fear, transgressed the limits I can afford in my present letter, and therefore, with a promise to continue in my future correspondence such hints as may perchance be found of some slight assistance to the many friends who visit Paris, or who purpose visiting Paris and the Exposition, I pass on to other matter. Im provement of the breed of horses in France is rapidly progressing, as witness the triumphs of Count Lagrange's celebrated horse Gladiateur. There are, however, several additional circumstances which tend to give that improvement an additional impetus, setting aside the Conevurs Ilippique, the Czar (by-the-by, a Russian corre spondent of one of the French journals has desired that the word should be spelt Tzar), who, it will be remembered, gained the only prize given in group No. 9—viz., for the improvement of the breed of horses—presented to the Emperor previous to his departure the two magnificient stallions, one a bay the other a c hesnut, which he had exhibited (the Russians, by-the-by, are celebrated for extraordi nary trotting horses), an example which has been followed by his Highness the Sultan, in presenting to his Royal host the magnificent grey Arab which he rode on the occasion of the recent review--a horse of the finest blood of Arabia, which, from its personal beauty, as well as from the magni ficence of its housings, attracted general admira tion on that occasion. The Prefect of the Seine, the members of the Municipal Council, and the Prefect of Police paid a visit to the Sultan and his Prime Minister, F tied Pacha, before the departure of his Highness for Eng land. The latter has given, in the name of the Sultan, the sum of 60,000 fr. for the poor of Paris, as also a further sum of 100,000 francs to the do mestics of the Palace inhabited by the Sultan during his visit. At the moment of leaving Boulogne the Sultan addressed to the Prefect of the Pas de Calais his regret at quitting France, where he had been received with a sympathy with which he had been profoundly touched, as well as the happiness he had experienced in finding himself in the midst of his brave Allies. A report circulates here that some venerable Turks, previous to the Sultan's depar ture, had expressed a desire that he should place in his boots a little Turkish earth, in order, if possible, not to violate the precepts of the Koran. I have heard of peas in the boots and shoes of an offending sinner, and of one who took the liberty to boil them beforehand ; but a glance at the well-made boots of the Sultan would not admit the inference of the aforesaid boots being the receptacles of any other earth than the feet of his sublimity, the heal of the True Believers. The second ascension of the enormous balloon, Le Geant, took place on Sunday Ina, in the espla nade of the Hotel des Invalides, in presence of a numerous assembly, which would have been still more numerous had it not been for the order which compelled the closing of the gates at 4 o'clock. The car contained the following gentlemen :—MM. Simonin, De Fonvielle, Brieng, the captain of the balloon, Camille d'Artois, and two assistants. The ascent was scarcely so favourable as on the last o a f r g t e i n iwgb i ei a lod c tu h l o i ew n by e i sat trhrd su b c e b. t c ri a ao i nnne e re sa velylentangleddaey foliage lhei leaving vge i i n ,en g; t t: h ih e ee. occasion, as almost imm e di ate l y on i ts r i s i ng e re t tr h e e es how, g ev ro er und the st sky 13,•ing perfectly unclouded in the direction in which the Geant had ascended, the spectators were enabled to follow its progress. In at least half an hour after a short voyage the balloon, which had probably received some injury against the trees, descended in the evening near Dammartin, Seine et Marne. A funeral service took place on Sunday even ing last at the German Church, Rue Lafayette, for the repose of the soul of the Emperor Maximilian. A mausoleum will be erected in this church in memory of the unfortunate monarch. The mau soleum, of which the model was exposed at the left of the catalque raised in the middle of the naive, will have this simple inscription only maximiLiEs EMPEREUR, Mis a mort le 19 Juin, 1867. Louis the First, King of Portugal, and his Queen Pia have arrived in Paris, and are lodged at the Palais Royal. The King of Sweden also, who travels incognito under the euphonious name of the Count Bockoskoy, has made his appearance at the Grand hotel de Lyon, from whence he transfers himself to Vichy, the chalet of which has been placed at his service by order of the Emperor. Berezowski has been found guilty, and condemned to travaux forces a popetuite, or hard labour for life, a sentence which, if what is said of the French bagnes be true, yields little in bitterness to capital punishment itself. It is said that the Imperial Commission of the Exposition have under consideration the arrange ment of a series of practical lectures or conferences, accompanied by experiments to take place, either in the palace or park, as occasion might require. Of course the object sought to be gained is a more serious appreciation of the adVantages afforded. It has been officially announced that in the month of August his Majesty the Emperor will visit the camp at Chalons, and afterwards, during the first week in September, will leave in company with her Majesty the Empress for Biarritz. Notice has been given, in order to enable all foreign Princes who propose to visit their Majesties, to make their ar rangements accordingly. The hotel de Ville still remains adorned with its trophies; the saloons also still preserve their decora tions, a ball being in preparation at the end of the month, the period when the Sultan will again visit Paris en route for Constantinople. One of the French journals, speaking of the very exquisite li taken itan o p b h s o e t r o N g . e ll: a , t w f l o d r c h a T a u v r e k been a e N x .e e c t i s e (I p o o f r t t l: a e S t ultan, in any manner is to disobey the precepts of the Koran, the objection generally urged to painters being—" When those traits become animated at the resurrection of the dead, how are you going to pro vide for them a soul." The predecessor of Abdul Azziz, Abdul Medjid, it is said, once had his portrait taken secretly on ivory by a French painter, named Porthe, who was clandestinely introduced from time to time into the Palace. Porthe, however, from an offence against Turkish ceremonials was obliged to quit Turkey in haste, carrying with him the unfinished portrait and 4,000 francs, the gift of Abdul Medjid. After his arrival in France the medallion was ex quisitely finished, but never forwarded to Turkey, and the journal in question adds that a friend of the painter, now in possession of the portrait, leaves for London, in order to present to Murad Effendi, the son of the late, and nephew of the present Sul tan, a memorial so invaluable. Ido not, however, answer for all this — "I do not know how the truth may be, I tell the tale as 'twas told to me." I had not intended in the limits of my present letter to return to the subject of hints to strangers in Paris. I had already written some eighteen pages of Paris gossip and other absurdities, and I consi dered myself fully warranted in laying down for the evening my pen, and assuming, not my sword, but my pipe. Yes, I admit the soft impeachment, and I trust that no elderly maiden ladies will withdraw their subscriptions from the Franco-American if their correspondent confesses himself a smoker ; he sees in his old friend an antidote to and remedy against both mental and physical over-taxation, his pipe forms for him a link in the past, and in the blue wreaths of smoke that curl fantastically around him he sees in freshened tints the photogra , 3hs long since Ltded beneath the mouldering breathe of destiny. But I come back to my muttons. I have a habit on these occasions to combine the utile duke by taking up the Franco-American, and finding in the various powerful articles that adorn its pages, an interest ing and instructive lesson for myself. This evening my eye has fallen upon a brief para graph from our illustrious chief, in which he not only graciously expresses his approval of my attempt to be useful in a small way, but re quests of me its continuance. Of course, I need not tell my excellent reader that such a request is equivalent to a command, and though I am almost inclined to hope that his approval will be followed by that of my reader, yet, if such be nct the case, I beg that all remonstrances thereon may be sent to the right quarter, and if not then attended to, I know of no more infallible method than to stop the paper for awhile. Throw it behind the fire, and never more Let that vile paper come within my door. However, I trust that fearful ultimatum may be avoided. As regards the company of which I spoke in my last letter, M. Jules Condor has forwarded a tangible proof of its existence in the shape of an advertisement, to which I beg to refer the reader. I am happy to add that these apartments are comfortably and neatly furnished. With regard to the language spoken it is, of course, evident that of so large a number in the French capital by far the greatest proportion must belong to French owners, though it is possible to obtain where Eng lish is spoken. A grand treat will be given to-morrow to the lovers of music, in the competition which takes place between the military bands of nine different countries—viz. : ( 76 A G re u ax s n t e ria. ud t a — n t 8- Duchyl 1 ) gi o m uo e v n f e t r of pt u ar t de h e e s nu Duk . r—aG e r o e f n lu a GuillaumeVd ie r r te m sio, b ef l u l : e Guard: Leader, M.

As the author of " John Gilpin" remarked, in reference to the probability of his hero making another excursion, " I hope to be there, to see and to hear also." When the first idea of entertaining the Belgian Volunteers in London took possession of the Eng lish nation a special commission hid to be formed, and the first care of very competent members was to enter into matters concerning the expediency of launching forth a general invitation with what was considered inadequate funds for the purpose. When it was provea, ii _CP WVV VT , thwb atossoarocma wore forth- coming, it became evident that the Belgians could come. The question next debated was, whether or not a banquet could be offered them, and a few details were entered into which, if your readers, or simply I, had been the intended guests, would have im pressed us with a feeling of discomfort. The knowledge that we were to be a fearful expense to our hosts would have taken off some of our antici pated pleasure ; but it is to be hoped the family matters of the English Corporation, though pub lished abroad, did not affect the Continent very keenly. Now that the Belgians have been the nation's guest', it must be confessed that sense and feeling presided over the debates when a banquet was proposed; more feeling for Belgian digestion, indeed, than sense in finally voting for the banquet. The Belgians alone can know whether " enough is as good as a treat," or whether it would not have been a treat to have just enough ; but, at all events, the banquet of goodwill , thoughinsufficient for alimen taarrey purposes,net likely to be troubled with bill s f or the is probably paid for, and the guests breakages, which some, in tempting moments of ravenous hunger, were guilty of. A very different course, at the close of a banquet, has been enforced this week at th e T r ib una l Ci v il de la Seine, before which the Comte de Rentiepout appeared against 111. Boileau, th e propr i etor o f th e famous pie-nic institution called the Chalet des Fles, situated on the Bois de Boulogne. A few de tails respecting the fete de nuit there given, the costs of which amount to five thousand francs and a law suit, will convey seine idea of social pastimes in Paris. The affair was conducted by the honorary members of an aristocratic club called " Le Circle des Moutards," a most demonstrati ve appe ll a ti on for the noblesse of France. Invitations to the Chalet were sent out to the queens of the demi-monde, who all accepted, and were attired as prescribed, the order at the bottom of each card, "en grisette." On arriving at the lake near the Chalet they were of six French horns, and the l a di es w ho enjoyed welcomed each in turn by the v i gorous " hallah" dancing began, and at one o ' cloc k , this reception most we re th e f o ll ow i ng ce l e brities : —Barucci, Manvoy, de Lucenay, Planteaux. Whe n the hundred and eighty guests were assembled supper was an nounced. Nothin g h ad b een spare d to make this night banquet memorable, not only on the follow ing dawn, alas, but* on ensuing legal papers. There was salmon h l a B enoiton, lo b s t er h la Benoiton, ham a la Benoiton, beef i la Benoiton, a nd when all the Beuoitonnements ( v ide modern slang) were exhausted, Russi an sala d s, It a lian ices, Sicilian creams, Potnpei an preserves, and all t he ex q uisite etceteras of Ro man r e fi nem ent, were savoured with the assistance o f ample li b at i ons of Medoc, Saint Julien, Poniard, Chambertin, Champagne, punch, serops, coffee, 84e. But not sufficient unto that night was the evil thereof ; all the Benoitons had to be paid for, a n d the Com t e de Rennepont's hor ror was extrem e w h en he ascer tained that having, asiresident of th e ~ Moutar d s ,” club, have to p ay signed the invita tion cards, he world, as representati ve of his noble for all costs. No w amon g the latter figure divers pl a tes and dishes, for, w hen enjoyment w as w ild est doring• supper, some of the ladies testified their satisfaction by throwing plates full of " primeurs" at each other's heads, b y dashing cha mpagne i n cava li er 's faces, which face tious play is prejudi c i a l t o crystal and porcelain. It is true that th e C omte de Roc h e f or t and other noble men, having anticipated a little boisterous fun, had requested of the police the favour of the attendance of four in the company o f municipals, but municipals, in thre e cocked hats, are hu man a f ter all, an d p a rtook of the cheer boatmen, firemen, coachmen , and thirsty horn-pl ayers. Thus th e i r quota has some what increased d amages a l so , a nd though the Comte de Rennepont cons id ers hi mse lf a very ill-used man, he being th e h ea d of an augus t b o dy, has not only to pay for ev ery thi ng, but all law expenses into t h e bargain, Lie h as every one's s yinpatby besides, and that, with the bill, is as much as could be expected. Paris is at present afflicted with Mr. Sothern's portrait over all her walls as my Lord Dundreary. It is impossible to avoid the wink of one of his eyes under a small pane of glass lodged under his left eyebrow, and the impertinent stare of the other. Theatricals remind me that V. Sardou is working at a new piece to be called " Les femmes du Monde," that the " juif errant" is being rehearsed at the Ambigue, and that we are to have a troup of Japanese equilibrists at the Cirque Napoleon. The bill post ing and puffing are most sensational, and in hot crowded thoroughfares, amid the din of omnibuses, the Japanese tumblers are unsatisfactory things to look upon. The Queen of Prussia left Paris yesterday, but the ex-King of Bavaria has arrived. The Queen of Spain has given up all thoughts of a journey here and to Rome. Some complaints are made that our capital is vi,ibly thinning. This is owing to the sudden flight of all the members of the jury at the Exposition. They could stand expostulation, blame, and charges no longer, none of the exhibitors who have not a gold medal being satisfied. On the Sultan's return it is hoped the fetes will recommence, but my personal desires are less ambitious. The only hope of my heart is that the English attendants of His highness at Buckingham Palace will see the necessity of giving that noble pile a good airing before the Royal children of England again play in the old halls. I should have suggested soap and water instead, if a supply of these articles could be obtained without an appeal to one of the Houses, which, being made public, would look bad, as if the nation, in fact, wanted to give the Sultan and his suite a " ducking." FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, 18th July. As I know you are most interested in items of personal intelligence, and as you, in this, merely re present your readers, I will chiefly furnish you with these. To begin, then, I must inform you that Mrs. Emma Key Blunt is giving Shakspearian read ings at Carlsbad, in Austria. lion. J. R. Doolittle, United States Senator, is now in Paris, having lately returned from an official visit to St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. He stopped over a day at Frankfort to call on Consul General Murphy, and to visit some of the great wine cellars for which this city is noted. The Government could hardly find a more honest, faithful, or able representative to send abroad on a mission. Mr. Kasson is also on a mission to Europe, to aid in bringing about a reduc tion of postage to and from the United States to the Continent, It is to be hoped he will succeed. He is a man of energy and ability, and no better appointment could have been made. A former agent, sent out by Postmaster-General Randall, procured a reduction in postage from the United States to England, but totally ignored France, Ger many, and the rest of the Continent. Perhaps he was not aware that there were any business relations between those other countries and the United States, but Mr. Kasson is a man of a different stripe, and much will be accomplished by him.—A New Con sulate has been established in the Champagne of Rheins, and Mr. Gill, a consular clerk, appointed consul.—Baron James Rothschild of Paris, Baron Charles of Naples, and Baron Willy and family of Frankfort, are at Homburg les Bains.—The Hon. Henry T. Raymond, the able editor of the New York Times, is expected out this month with his son.—Mrs. Raymond is at Reichenhall in Bavaria with her family.—Dr. Wilson, U.S. Consul at Antwerp, is stopping at Homburg a few days for the benefit of his health.—The Hon. Jobn Sherman of the U. S. Senate has returned home to be pre sent at the extra session of Congress.—D. A. Wells, Esq., the able statistician, has been sent out by the Treasury Department to examine the factories in Europe, as well as into the working of the in come tax in England, France, and Germany. The Rev. Dr. Bellows and family are at Homburg les Bains for the benefit of their health. The Scotch Church has sent a'clergyman to Horn burg les Bains, who has service every Sunday evening, at which a large congregation attends. On these occasions prayers are said for the Great Republic, for the President of the United States, and for all in authority in that country. The home of the celebrated Washburn Brothers, Lewiston, Maine, has been burnt. The family were accustomed to spend a part of every summer at the old paternal home. The Hon. E. B. Wash burn is at present in Paris, and his health is some what improved. One of the brothers is Collector at the port at Portland, another is Ambassador to to one the South American Republics. Whistler, Winans, and Co., an American firm, have purchased from the Russian Government the Aloscow and St. Petersburg Railway s for 300,000,000 . francs, or $150,000 per mile They were the original builders of the road. Maga Whistler was formerly for some years a resident at Frankfort-on the-Maine, and the Winans, residents of Brighton, England. Several seizure cases have been tried in the United States Courts in New York, involving large amounts of wine claimed to be undervalued in the invoices. Two witnesses were sent over from Europe to testify for the Government, a Mr. Marshall and one Violier, whose testimony appears, to a disinterested man, as clear as mud. Any intelli gent jury would discard witnesses who knew so little of the value and character of wines as said men have shown. The juries in the above cases were unable to agree upon a verdict. Under the heading of " Theatres and Things Theatrical" Wilke,s's Spirit of the Times gives full and amusing comment. We extract a few items :-- Alice Kingsbury had a benefit recently in Vir ginia City, and was startled by two heavy silver bricks thrown by an admirer. Flowers are unknown in that sage-brush country. The prima donna Pauline Lucca is announced for America in the Fall. Betty Regi and sister have been engaged for a Chicago " Black Crook." The celebrated composer 11 Signor Guiseppe Verdi, as he is called in mellifluous Italian,would be called in home English Joe Green, so says the Missouri Republi can, whose editor is a Goth. Still another troupe of Japanese jugglers, making five in all who have left Japan, has arrived in San Fran cisco. Send them along, Mr. Tycoon ; I'll match Thurlow Weed and his "Ring" against all your magicians and tricksters. The " old man " will balance that ironclad account, which would baffle the groat balancer Ilaimaikari adikiehi himself. Mr. John Gilbert, whom everybody knows and more like, was the other day married to Miss Sarah H. Gavctt, of Boston. No cards, no pie, no nonsense. Lewis Baker and Mark Smith have gone to join their clan in Europe. Frederick Robinson is starring in Canada. Chicago paid in May for amusements : 31•Vickor's, $10,645 50; Opera-house, $25,871 59; Varieties, $3,000 ; Museum, $11,993. It is proposed to build a theatre and opera-house in Washington City, which shall be worthy of Washing tonians. Dan Rice is managing a menagerie in the Weal The Mayor of Mobile, lately appointed, has selected several negroes as policemen. Professor Chadbourne has resigned the presi dency of the Massachusetts Agricultural College fir the presidency of a Western University, and his future home will probably be in IVisc3nsin. Joaquim Silveria, an American subject, about whose capture on the charge of complicity in the recent forgery of Bank of Portugal notes, a diplomatic corres pondence had taken place between the American Legation in Lisbon and Portuguese Govermusnt, has been returned to French territory on board a French man-of-war, the question being amicably settled. The Mexican Consuls at Havre and Cette—MM. Mora, of Ozta, and Brunet—as well as several vice-con suls, have resigned their offices. Mr. Tennyson has purchased a small estate called Greenhill, near Blackdown Hill, not far from Haslemere. He proposes to build a house and become a permanent re sident there, taking measures to shut out intrusive snobs. The names of Mr. Raymond, as Minister to Austria, and Hr. Ba.n3roft,;.t.s Minister to PrusFia., will be sent by the President for confirmation to the Senate now assembled. Admiral Tegethoff will embark in England for New Orleans; Mr. Speed, the late United States Attorney Ge neral hoz arrived at Washington to give evidence before the Judiciary Committee. General T. K. Smith will be nominated for con sul at ilavannol. Sam Galloway declines to stand as Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor of Ohio. Mx, J. S.
