PARIS, THURSDAY, Nav ST., Al

PARIS, Thursday, May 81, 7 am.
There is one man whose voice Europe has
doubtless been anxious to hear since the politi-
cal crisis commenced, but who, for some UNI
known cause, has too long held his tongue.
All who know him are we'll aware that his
silence was not owing to that defect which,
though it may exist in natures of an inferior
order, never can in one like his-difidence.
All have heard about Count BiSmark and his
sayings and doings, the Germanic Confedera-
ton, Federal Reform, Austria and the second
airy States, the dispatches of German states
men, and they have pOndered over NJ. Paul
Limayrac's articles in the Constitutional and
tried to find out what they meant. Thew
knew, too, that the French Cabinet was divi-
ded on the questions of peace and War-one-
half believing war inevitable, and one-half the
contrary. All read the speech supposed TO
have been delivered at Auxerre, and they were
as puzzled or as incredulous as ever and the
only man who could have diSSipated all doubt
as to the future was silent. But he is silent
no longer. Alexander Dumas has at last told
the world what he thinks, and the Plenipoten-
tiaries who are now packing up for Paris may
save themselves the trouble and stay at home.
One who has predicted the revolutions that
have taken place for more than 80 years past,
but for whom that of July would have been put
uOWn, ana Louis HnlIppe would never have
mounted the throne, nor Garibaldi succeeded
in Naples, is a great authority. The poet,
dramatist, feuilletonist, and prophet is now in
Italy, acting as the correspondent of the AUenir,
a recently founded journal, in whose columns
all that relates to the future may be seen. The
situation, as sketched by the great Alexander,
is discouraging enough. He writes from Flo
renee on the 22d as follows -
The news Of the adhesion of Russia to the
Conference produced yesterday, when amour
ced to the Chamber, so little sensation that the
sitting was not interrupted. Indeed, the fa-
nous phrase is too late,' which hitherto had
been said only to Kings who were descending
from their thrones, is now pronounced by a
whole nation. 1t is Toe late is repeated from
Ancona to Mont Gents from Bergamo to Cir
GENT. Before [ left for Italy I did not believe
in war. | now say, with all Italians, it is i'm
possible for war not to take place. Even if
Austria surrenders Venetia, you may ask IF
Austria .surrenders Venetia, I affirm that it
will be civil war instead of foreign war. In
1648 Italy was beaten because she made war
by herself. In 1859 she was victorious because
she had France combating by her side. In

FIRE REPORT.

1866.
May ~6-(Sundoy Evening" about 9
O'Clock, a fire broke out at Estate
Jealousy, which destroyed 5 small
Megass Stacks. Value not other
wise computed, than they would
have been sufficient for making
about 7 HhdS. Sugar.
The Investigations are now
closed; several Of the laborers
were suspected, but no sufficient
proofs having been elected, the
case will not be prosecuted fur
Their.
=" 24.-Two boys who were detected
in a shop in this town with having
put fire to some powder, without
doing further damage, but which
might have been dangerous, were
punished each with 10 strokes of
a rod, and released.
June 13.-By the negligence OF q cooper
in trussing a MolasSes Puncheonin
MeSSrs. Roche Bros. & Co.'s Lum-
Der Yard, serious consequences
might have ensued if it had not
been discovered in time and the
fire extinguiShcd without any
damage being done. 1t appears
that the Individual in question had
against orders coopered his cask
in the middle of the yard, where
plenty of shavings generally
abounds and in the proximity ola
shed full of Iumber, instead of by
the Sea side, where besides al
ways a puncheon ofwater is plac-
ed in case Of emergency.
Judgment passed in this case,
on the 25th instant, by which the
delinquent was fined $40 for his
negligence.
This case has given occasion to
a Commission being appointed by
Government TO examine the To-
c%alities in the several yards.
where this kind of cooper work is
executed and TO propose such
rules as will in future secure the
Town against similar risks of fire.

An event which has been expected
for several days occurred, on yesterday, in
the death of Major Pollock B. Lee, we'll
known member of the bar of this city, q
most excellent gentleman, and a true and
devoted friend. Major Lee was native of
North Carolina, and was, at the time of his
death, about thirty.6ve years Of age. He
was, we believe, graduate of Henry and
Emory College, in Virginia. He moved
to Memphis few years before the war,
and attracted to himself many and enduring
friends. When the war opened he was .ap-
pointed Adjutant General upon the staff of
General Zollicofer, and served with that
gallant soldier until he fell. He afterwards
occupied the same position with Major Gen.
eral Crittepden. He subsequently served
as Inspector General of the army of Tennes.
see, on the staff respectively of Generals
Bragg, johnson and Hood, and enjoyed the
confidence of all of those leaders of that
great army of men. He did his whole du.
ty, from the beginning to the close of the
struggle, and survived soldiers death to
fall by the slow but certain consumption of
an insidious and wasting disease.-Mem-
phis Aualanche.

terms by which we stigmatixe him every
