The death Of the Archdukc Stephen

An imperial re=cript dated Feb. L. was read
on the 18Th in both houses Of the Hungarian
Diet. liz announces that the Emperor asscnts u
the demand embodied in the Diets address of the
18th January last, relative To the reorganization
Of the army. and has ordered that the question
be adjourned for Parliamentary treatment. The
rc-cTIpc expresses, however, the hope that the
Diet will the readily lend their support 10
the latcrnal intentions Of the Emperor in this
respect, from Il consideration of the urgent ne
ccs-Ity that exists for filling up the gaps in the
different regiments, and entirely rcnudcing the
military forces Of the country. The Diet having
declared its resolve To make every effort for the
preservation of the Empire to draw up such ur,-
positions the subject of common affairs as
should not be opposed to the vital conditions of
the monarchy. and lastly fulfill certain articles of
tine laws of lSiS. the EmrcrOrs doubts mt once
disappeared, and nc now restores the Hungarian
Constitution.

AMERICAN BALL IN PARIs.-On the evening of
the 22d of February n grand ball in celcbration
of WasiiingtOn's birthday given at the Grand
Hotel, Paris, and the means of uniting in
the dining of that establishment between
four and five hundred persons. Says a corres-
pOndent:
The room brilliantly lighted and hung with
American flags. The honurs of the evening were
performed by General Dix and his family. to
whom the guests paid their respects entering.
The General was dressed in his military uniform
and Miss Dix, simply, but in great taste, in pink
tullc.
It was remarked that on this occasion quite a
number of persons were present who, from their
political sympathies, have, during the past five
years, failed participate in the celebration of
any Of our national anniversaries.
Most Of the foreign legations were represented
either by the Ministers in person or their First
Secretaries. The Ministers of Russia Prussia /
Persia, Bavaria, Switzerland, Portugal and nearly
all the South American Republics were present
in person, while England, Italy, Austria and
some others were represented by their First Sec
rctarics.
One notable fact in this celebration was the I
presence of General Dubois, the Minister from
Ilayti. gentleman of most undubitable .'colOr," /
and whose complexion would few years
since have insured election from any railway car
omnibus or theater in the United States. Yet /
here he was, the representative of negro re-
public, himself dark muatto, mingling in the
gay thrpng, among which was some of the creme
d. ka crane Of American society, which few
years since would only have permitted HIM in !
their presence in the capacity of servant.
To TIE East BY TIE WEST.-Thc intelligence
received few days ago from China and japan /
by WAY of san francisco must have startled many
minds that have not kept pace with the progress
of the recent successful efforts made to reach tie
old East by going westward. But enough has +.
already been accomplished To show that the future
route u Asia is lie through our Pacific posses
siOns and across the Rocky Mountains. and this

England and the other commercial nations of
