PARIS GOSSIP.-A curious discovery has been
made, while repairing the house formerly oc-
cupied by the Jacobin Club during the great re-
vOlution, and now known as the Hotel de Lon
dres, in the Rue ST IIyacinthe, ST. Honore
The club which guided the destinies of the re-
yOlution during some few years had often
bOasted ofallOwing the ambition ofRobespierre
and other leaders to progress 50 far, and no
farther; and the members by vote had passed .
law which entitled the ma ajority to exclude from
any particular SsaHce any particular member
whose interests might lead him to sway the
opinions of the club. Robespierre, whose am
bition had rendered him an object of suspicion,
had often been voted out By the assembly; and
il has been matter Of surprise to the hi itOrans of
the time, that he could so long have main tanned
his influence in spite of the violence Of the op-
position thus permitted. The secret is now re-
vealed A small room,-a hiding place in the
thickness of the WALL has just been discovered,
opening by trap door into the very hall where
the deliberations were being carried on, and
whence he could listen to the measures to be
I Iken against him, and, thus fUrearmed have
power to defeat them. Ii is evident that this
hiding place must often have been occupied by
Robespierre; and whom first entered by the
wOrkmen, the traces of his presence were still
visible in the journal which lay upon the table,
and the writing paper, from which had been
torn q small portion, as if for the purpose of
making a memorandum. The only book which
was found in the place was volume of Rlorian,
open at the second chapter Of Claudine. Itwas
covered with snuff, which had evidently been
shaken from the reader shirt trill and bore tes-
timony to the truth of history which records the
simplicity Of the literary tastes of Robespierre.
/ His presence seemed still to hang about that
small space, as though he had quilted il but the
moment befJre and, singular. enough, the
marks of his feet, as though he had recently
trodden through the mud, were still visible op
! the tiles with which the flooring is composed.

Ar HoME.-We learn that our Senators, Hons. R. w. Johnson and w. K Sebastian have reached their respective homes, from Washington city We presume that by this time our Representatives, Col. Rust and Judge Greenwood have also arrived at home. We arc glad to learn that good health and fine spirits attend them all, and we are sure that they re- ceive with one acclaim the plaudit of "well done thou good and faithful servants" No State in the Union can boast of an abler and better delegation in Congress than Arkansas has the honor of claiming. As able faithful and true servants, they have watche well the
 interests of their constituents Senator John son was chairman of the standing committee on printing, and was a member of the important committees on military affairs and on public lands. Judge Sebastian was chairman of the committee on Indian affairs and member of the committee on territories. Col. Rust was member of the committee on roads and canals, while Judge Greenwood was member of the committee on Indian affairs, in the House of Representatives.

 OGie seekers-Ne,o York delegatton-ARpoint- mets--Improvemen of naaH seruices--a daily naaH in 1rkansos.
 Although nearly all the members and sena- tors have left Us, the office seekers remain in full force, and are having "lively time of it." The largest delegation of this kind is from New York city-whch numbers some hundred and fifty pcrsons-owing to the many fat offices located there to be given away by the general government. Delegations from other States are quite large, among the number may be men, toned California, but as the appointments for the several States are made they will thin out. In the mean time the President and the cabinet are not idle are having daily sessions and within few weeks will have all the appointments mace, and the suspense of the office seekers relieved.
 The appointments have already mentioned in Arkansas are all the changes that will be made for the present, at least; others may be made during the session of the aeXt Congress- but this l doubt; so far as can judge the poli- y bl lilc Souluefli NCIlOCTdCE Is to make put few charges, while that of the northern and northwestern democracy is rotation in office. The last administration, so far as the postal arrangements of Arkansas were concerned, gave her the "cold shoulder" and her Senators and Representatives, although they made every effort with the post office department, could get but little Improvements in mail matters. But now am sure matters have taken change for the better as far as the new administration is con- cerned, for one of the first acts of the new Post Master General was 10 increase the mail service from Little Rock to Washington from three to six times week, and also to improve the trans poration from Helena to Aberdeen. By this arrangement the service is substantially sir times q ,oeek by steamboat and coaches from the Mississippi river Uia Little Rock to Wash. ington. Yous, etc,

THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL HOTEL MYs- TERY.-One of the propretors of the National Hotel writes to friend if New York that there IS not word of truth in the story that poisoned rats were found in the water of that house. It Is said further that the first sickness at the hotel was as far back as the 1st of February. and that the proprietors had then chemical analysis, the results of which induced them to bring their water afterwards from the Capitol fountain. The sickness continued and further analyses were had, this time of milk, soup. vo- getables, everything, indeed, that was eaten or drunk, yet no clue of tie mysterious affair has been discovered. It is intimated now that the poison was secretly mingled in the water by human hands, to accomplish some internal scheme, which the imagination can only guess at. President Buchanan and many members of Congress still feel the effects of the poisonous drug
