From our Special Correspondent
PARIS, Tuesday, July 10, 1864.
Politics are complete blank, whether at
home or abroad; partly because almost every
political pe1eonage has lett the French Capl-
tai and is taking holiday at some favcrite
summer rendezvous, partly because the only
question Of European interest ia buried at
this moment in complete obscurity. AL We
in fact know about the negou .tions going
on between Denmark and Germany, Ia that
another cessation of arms has been agreed to,
and that Austtia and Prussia have invited
their victim to send p1enipoteutiary to Vi.
ems. There our Information stopa. Ali
else is mere conjecture though it seems
probable that the terms Of peace will not be
very didertEt from those offered By PRUSSIA,
snd refused by Denmark, ut the last meeting
Of the Conference, viz: the division OF
Sch1eswig as then proposed BY the former
power. Germany Is said TO demand an enor-
nous war indemnity, but to be willing that
the sum TO Be paid should be referred to
France, or to France and the King of the
peror at Viehy. But all these are minor
questions; the great points that there seems
likely to be no war in Euro epe-nothtng to
keep the enemies Of America from that itch
Of meddling which seens again besetting
them. -
The crowds who are Just now tbroncipc the
eeaeidc ut the fashionable baths of Die 3pe,
have been smusing themselves lately with
vieitIng an Epglish built yacht, called the
Pearl, lying In the harbof there, and now be-
longing to i French owner, NJ DeIchet- This
vtseel Has also one OF the witnesses of the
late glorious combat Of Chesbonrr, The news
Of which, regret to see, arrived just too late
among you for the 4th OF July. The Pearl
came up To the spot where the Alabama

truble collection Of bibles and prayer books,
also large assortment Of Americao
rcmarce6. aud some very handsome ladies'
dreTsee. But the n ost Instructive relic of MI
is email po> ket look, belonging seemingly
to private seaman, ia which, With q Wow
probably to his claim for prize money, he
has kept an accurate account OF I'll vessels
captured By the Alabama. The list begins
to the eth of April, 1861, and 1t is curioua
that 1t contains the inventory Of Is vessels,
number exactly corresponding with Capt.
Scmmcs' collection Of chronometers. 4
large amount Of the vessels destroyed appear
to have been whelers. Oce vessel Of war, the
Hatteras, is mentioned as having been eunk
in action, aud her armament ia given at nine
as ransomed, forty.seven IS burned, and ten
as sold; aud thefs is rough valuation oi
The whole p1under at five millions of dollars.
