GOSSIP FROM PARIS.

PARIS, Thursday, July q, 1884.
The French Government / am informed, shows
disposition now to retire from the position which it
had taken in regard to Mr. Dillon and the salute. A
strong remembrance being made, showing that Cali
fornia was country where proper execution Of tho
laws was extremely difficult that the arrest of Mr..
Dillon grew out Of desire on the part Of the autho-
titles to put down illibusterism which the French
Government processes TO abhor, and that at most it
was a small affair for national quarrel tho Foreign
Minister now shows disposition to abandon tho
affair and to say about it; this is wise and
msenaninOus conclusion, which does honor to the
Government
The same may be said 10 regard to the Meuard case:
Tie Government in deciding against the application
for bis releaee, evidently attempted to establish
precedent which it now may prove troublesome,
and an uneasiness is manifested in regard to it, The
probability is that concession will be made voun-
tary by the Government here, before any final action
shall take place at Washington. These acts on the
part Of the French Government cannot be too highly
appre ciated and show to what extent the ancien mt
feelings of friendship have bound together the two
countries.
A duel was fought few mornings ago in tho Bots
dc Bologne, between American and an English
man, whose names am not permitted to give. They
fought at thrty-fye PAGES with heavy pistols. Tho
first FIRE was without result; the pistols were re-
charged and the combat ints had taken their places
when gems d0rme with posse made his appearance,
and the whole party rushed to their carriages and took
to flight, glad to escape at so critical moment. The
cause Of the quarrel was woman: the American had
beautiful wife," whom he found in the Thirteenth
Arroadissement, and the Engshman was endeavoring
50 steal march on bis menage.
In a late number of THE TRIBUNE gave the histo-
ry Of attempted negotiations in Paris to
the principally of Monaco to the United States That
article has been republisbed 10 some of the London
and Paris journals and has given rise to variety Of
curious comments The consequence has been that
the affair has fallen under the eyes Of the Prince now
residing in Paris who has made reclamation against
the personal description which gave of him. He
states that the person described in that article the
Prince Of Monaco, the last Of the Grimadis was not
be, but lis authorized agent-a sort Of Prime Minis
ter to his Majesty In justice to the Prince, there
fore desire to say that he is not ugly a
his Prime Minister and does not live in quite so bad
q quarter.
But there is another charge from which the Prince
has lot yet cleared himself Mr. Baker Of Boston,
who is now in this city with the sewing machines OF
Grover, Baker & Co., declares that man answering
the description of the Princes factotum called upon
Lin and offered to trade rights in land in the princi-
pality Of Monaco for a sewing machine The Prince,
falling to annex his peapatch kingdom to the United
States, offered to trade his presumptye rights there
in for Yankee sewing machine!
1T is to be hoped that the London journals will not
take this latter fact seriously to heart as they did
the proportion for annexation. The Prince must
make living somehow.
In regard to sewing machines, there are now in
Paris, from the United States, the one just referred
10, and that of North and Avery. The machine Of
the latter arrived frat and the right was bought by
the Emperor, after personal inspection by the i'm
peral pair at l05 600 francs 1t is destined for the
army, where it will be Of immense value in making
soldiers clothes. The other company charge the
| North and Avery machine with being an infringe nj
Of their right and have alarmed the Emperor by
threat to prosecute him for damages if he attempt
the manufacture Of the machines. The consequence,
has been that excitement has grown up abou
them in Paris, that will result highly 10 their benefit
The Princess Matilda has bought one of the Bake
machines the right of which has been disposed O
TO q company and little war is said to have takel
place in the Court all about the respective meits
the Yankee sewing machines The Empress stoo
umpire to the contendng parties.
