Paris, April 1.-The great Paris
Universal Exposition was formally
opened this morning. The day was
observed as holiday by the entire
population At11 o'clock the doors
were opened, aud by the time the
Emperor arrived there were 5000
persons inside. and-on the outside at
least one hundred thousand people
had assembled. There were eight
thousand police. on duty and the
order was excellent. %sEvery carriage
in Paris seems to have been employed.
The grounds of and around the Ex-
position building are in amentable
state of confusion. Not one-tenth of
the goods is opened and arranged, but
the French Department is in the best
order; next to that the Russian, and
third the English. All the other de-
partments are not ready.
The American Department, is one
of the mostzincomplete Of the Com
missioner exhibitors, and the Ameri-
cans generally, in the city, are very
much dissatisfied with Commissioner
BeckwIth, whose authority is totally
inefficient The only department in
operation is the restaurants, but even
here the Americans are behind hand.
The only goods which have been
damaged by the voyage are Ameri-
can.
At one o'clock, the invited. guests
assembled in the Art Gallery, where
America made fine show-many fine
pictures being exhibited and well
hung: but the English display was
much greater. When the guests
gathered, however, the. superiority of
the American ladies was conceded
They were the bellies OF the day
A brilliant company, blazing with
diamonds and orders, filled Central
Hall to welcome the Emperor and
Empress who came precisely at two
O'Clock. They drove up long avenue
covered with velvet canopy of green
and gold. decorated with flags and
lined with soldiers. They alight at
a splendid Pavilion, specially built
for the Emperor; the. Emperor I'M
mediately reappeared and gave his
arm to the Empress, and proceeded

round the sa| sntiss gallery nearly !. mile 9I
words to each Commissioners, but at
the American department he stopped
with the Empress and bowed to the
crowd, rho were cheering heartily.
The Exposition,wil not be ready
till day. One-half of the space is al
