FRANCE.

PARIS, Saturday, Aug. %, 6 a. m.
Some of the Paris papers are disposed
to make the most of certain circumstances
relating to Admiral Farragnt'S visit TO
Constantinople, and to behold in them
proofs of an aggressive intention on lie
nart of the United States towards Turkey.
Three days ago the Opinion Nationale de-
clared that, in spite Of the Admiral's ia
vourabIe reception by the Sublime Porte,
his prolonged stay there aud his frequent
interviews with the Russian Ambassador
General Ignatieff, had attracted the atleo-
ton of the Turkish Government. The
same papers heard that Farragut insists
upon the passage of ships, "both men-of-.
war and merchantmen" through the Oar
danelles and the %Bosphorus. If this be
the case, the United States are evidently
fighting the battle Of Russia, and we are
about 10 witness some of the first fruits

FRENCH REPORTS.

Paris, September %, 1866.-General Jose
Concha, acting President of the Spanish Minis

the representatives of Spain at all the Foreign
Courts, assuring them that the insurrection will

A French fleet is under orders to sail for
Spain for the purpose of atfording protection to
French residents and their property.
France will remain entirely neutral in the
affairs of Spain.

Nati0nute is generally ready to blow up

if needs he. to supp y the spark and,
moreover, there seems no doubt that the

paper, the Press, comes out IN "a still more
lively and indignant strain, on occasion
of the telegraphic announcement that the
Turkish Ministers and foreign diplomats
ISIS who went to lunch with Admiral
Farragut on Thursday were rtgaIed by
the crew Of the franklin with hurrahS tor
America and Rns>ia. The friendly init
macy between Russians and Americans
has long been evident, but this is The tlrSt

The Press is of opinion that the telegram
will produce IA great sensation IN Europe,
and especially in France and England,
and il has no doubt of the resolution OF
the United States to interfere IN the alt hrs
of the European Continent, and and Rus
sia in her ambitions designs OF conquest =
"Made at Conslantlnoplt, and support

There is considerable truth in this, but
it seems going rather far 10 give The name
of "Farraout's demonstration" 10 the
shouts of a ships crew Cor of a portion OF

co lection of recent good cheer and hos

had perhaps better wait 10 hear a more

4 TELL-TALE.-The Bulletin de la 30
cifte InduStrieHe of MuIhou>e gives an IN
teres,ing account of an extraordinary
"teIl-talt" apparatus IN use at the vast
establishment ,of Dolffus, Meg, 81 Co.
There are four night watchmen on these
premises, and they have to make Ten
visits TO 93 stations, in all $50 visits. On
commencing his rounds a card is deliver
ed to each watchman, which he carries
about with him. At every station he has
to visit is a frame of the size of the card,
at which, at a given time, a stamp pre-
SCENTS Itself aud impresses a mark on the
card. The marks are SO arranged that
when the whole are printed they form
one complete design. Any delay or omis-
sion on the part of the Waterman leaves
a blank space on the card, which tells
the hour ut which the man failed in his
duty. When going off duty, the men
push their cards INTO a kind Of letter-box /;
aud as this is done The exact time at
which they are delivered is printed. All
this contrivance is completely beyond the
mems control, and there is no possibility
of tamperiug with the mechanism. No
description of the apparatus would he

accompany 1t.

Mas lINCoLN JEALOUs.-The following j.
an extract from Mr.. Kccklry's book Behind
TIE Scenes" Mrs.. X. was DIRE s-maker at the
White House during I.incoln's adninistra-
ton:
In 1854 the reception. again commenced at
the White House. For the first two years OF
Mr. Lincoln, administration, the President
selected a lady Ia Join In the promenade with
him, which len Mr.. Lincoln free Ia choose
AN escort from among the distinguished gcn-
tlemcn that always surrounded her on ,uCh
occasions. Iii, custom, at last, was di>con-
,imucd by Mr.. Lincoln.
"LiZabcth - Wa. sewing IN her ro"nL
and ,hc was seated IN a comfortable arm chair
-" liLahctl. have been thinking over a lit
tie matter. " YOU are well aware, the Pres
idcnt, at every reception. selects lady to lead
the promenade with him. Now IL occurs 10
me that this custom j. an absurd one On
such occasions our guests recognize the POSI-
tion of the President ~ iir,t fall; conse-
qucntly. he takes the lead in every thing ;well,
now, IL they recognize his position they
should also recognize mine. ] am lIis vile
and should lead with him. And yet he offers
his arm to any other lady in the room, max
ing her first with him and placing me second.

stiOn, as Mrs President. demands that
should not hesitate any longer To act"
Mrs. Lincoln kept her word. Ever after
this she either lcd the promenade with the
President or the President walked alone or
with a gentleman. The change was much re-
marked, but the reason why it was made, !
! believe was never generally known.
THE IMPEACHMENT FARCE.-Evcn the i'm

mercidl, a EaGiaal paper writing from Wash

"Grant's nomination at Chicago being
looked upon as certainty, the matters of In
tercst ia the Republican COnN ention are the
candidate for the Vice Presidency and the

that this is the conviction Of those best IN

upon the popularity Grant to carry through
an unpopular Nicc-P Presidential candidate,
and platform that is percmptory upon points
concerning which there are honest differences
of opinion among Republicans As to Il inan-

that department. and the Republicans are at
the disadvantage of being under the necessity
of shoulderiuG the largest share Of the re-
sponsibilty for the prevailing confusion. |
will be more particular and say that there is
Il feeling among those most concerned Tor the
success of the Republican party, that it would
be dangerous 10 put Ben. Wade on the ticket
with Grant. and disastrous to give amy coun-
tenance to the obstinate and eNtortionate fac
tioniSts who contend that the first principle
ofrcpublican government Is the maintenance
of a prohibitary tariff so that monopoistS in
