FROM OUR EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE.
PARIS, jury IA, 1916.

| We received yesterday afternoon the advices
from the United States by the Great Western
We have a mere summary in the Journal des De
bats of this morning; but an ample report and in
tellgent discussion of the whole in La Presses and
a good exposition in the Constitutionnel The
Oregon. Treaty and the Presidents new message
| touching war-tarif are warmly commended
| Stress is laid on the profession Of readiness fol
peace, in case Mexico should propose reasonable
TERMS According TO the London papers," OBJ.
serves the Consfiftaionnel, !" England has given
lesson OF prudence and moderation to the United
States if ST, the United States have on their side
given one of frmness to the other Powers having
relations and controversies with England" The
idea of dissent by Lord WELLINGTON and Sir Ro.
BERT PEEt, in the Cabinet to the terms OF the trea
ty, is held to be refuted By Sir RoRERT's language
/ in announcing the event to Parliament. Ny I'M
preston, from the epoch Of the disclosure Of Sir
RoRERT's An-Corn Law project TO the latest pc.
Rod, has uniformly been that he meant to yield in
the OREGON Question what he believed could not fail
| to be accepted. He seemed, in all his public pro-
ceedings, to have put himself entirely at ease on
that question. Some of the Paris editors now re-
mark after ALL, the British naval preparations
were not intended for the United States; France
must have been in the eye and calculations Of Eng
land" The preparations" were, we may pre-
sume, no more than general re6tting-an arna-
ment adapted to national security and pretensions
Just what the restoration and Reorganization of the
French maritime forces are proclaimed. story
travels in the Opposition journals that LOUIS PHI
tippE, in several letters, urged Queen VICTORIA to
persuade or command Sir RoBERT PEEL to post
pone the dissolution Of his Ministry until after the
French elections; and that her Majesty (lnavail-
ingy OF course) exerted herself to that end. The
notion obtained here, in all quarters, that the
sion of the Wings would operate in France unfa-
vorably for the Conservative canvass but it is
dissipated. 1t was argued that France would no
longer consent to be dragged In tor by England
that there must be in both countries Cabinets who
could treat with each other on equal footing. All
the Deputies are included in series Of biographi-
cal sketches published in many numbers of the
Ministerial organ, the Epoch. Those in Opposi-
ton not spared in the least, but handled with
very amusing and pungent sarcasm and disparage-
ment of one kind or other. The truth of most OF
the lives and traits heighens the effect and pro-
notes the purpose, in all the denominations OF
Deputies
| We are informed from Rome that the new Pope
the 25sth) has not yet appointed the Secretary Of
State-the functionary who enjoys more control
over the foreign relations and internal policy than
| his Holiness, in whose case the maxim, reign and
not govern, is usually realized. Higher congre-
CATION, or Council of State, Of six eminent Cardi-
nails, of different political attachments and senti-
ments. has been formed to examine all matters o,
civil administration. Meanwhile no changes occur
no reforms are announced; and PIus TX. incurs
blame for tardiness. His name, you know, is Mas.
TAI-FERETTI. The Romans play upon it thus
/" You are very handsome and good n'a-sfai,
which means "bM stationary" His election,
however, has proved more popular in the provinces
than even in the capital. In authorizing railroads
to Ceyta-V ecchia Ancona, and Bologna, he has re-
stricted the granting to natives and the employment
OF laborers also, when natives can be obtained Pas
quinades abound at his expense. He is said to join
in the public merriment. A French writer well re-
marks: g A politically ambitious or personally i'm
moral Pope is now impossible 1t is subject Of
complaint in the London prints that England has
no diplomatic epresentatve-avowed or in form
| at the Court Of Rome: the Consul at Ancona has
served as political agent.
i Old French soldiers are rare in proportion to the
past and present numbers Of the army. The Oldest
died lately at the age of eighty Eight. One Of the
captors and demolishers of the Bastle, DIR. PUBER-
BELLE, departed this life few days ago, in his
ninety fourth year. He retained to the last vivid
recollection of the process, and fondness for con-
versation about early revolutionary scenes.
| BY the demise of the Duke of FITz-JAMEs, (de-
scendant of James H. the Legitimists have lost a
primary oracle and orator.
You have the printed narratives of the portentous
accident on the Northern Railroad on the 9th in
stant II was on the 9th May that the Versailles
Railroad tragedy occurred. In the one the
havoc was by fire, in the other by water. We may
credit the present official reports ofthe numbers the
killed and the merely injured; but the newspapers
and eter-wrers of the nearer cities double or tri-
pie the victims As the Rothschilds head and sway
the company Of the northern road, and are partcr-
larly obnoxious to the National and others of
the Radical organs, virulent cry has been raised
of the most culpable mismanagement. The chap
ter Of escapes, of assistance, of recovery, Of lost e
fecs, of wonderful incidents in general in this aw-
full catastrophe, nearly rivals any in the annals OF
such casualties by land or sea.
The present summer teens with gigantic calami-
ties---the destructive earthquake in Messenia--an-
other at Smyrna the fire at ST. Johns submer-
sions in mines the burning the theatre at Quebec,
so like the old calamity at Richmond; more deaths
and confagratons by lightning, more coup de So
ieL, more suicides atrocious murders, and mutila-
tons more sudden vsitations of body and mind,
are recorded for France, within the two months
past, than in any former year for this generation
The extraordinary and protracted heat OF the wea-
| Their has large share in the assigned causes. AT
Stockholm on the 26th ultimo, it was so cold that
ice formed in the open grounds. Extensive
strikes, popular tumults, sangunary ARRAYS roman
tic or curious trials, have been frequent in rare
degree. BY the way, the two persons, the doctor
and the valet accomplices of the escape OF Prince
