PARIS, July /, 1869.
The American world OF Paris is in lively movement
ebbng ana flowing rapidly. as Is always the case at
this season. The residents packing up for the wa
tering places, though they contemplate them with
shivcr as the weather still continues frigid The
| new corners are dropping in, and among them are
| some whose names are familiar to transatlantic
| ears For instance, the Hon. Zach Chandler, the
| bellicose Senator from Michigan, is just IN from
England which still survives hts presence. / can
| well imagine how the nostrils OF the pugnacious
Senator must have dated as he shifted the atmos-
| phere or England when approaching its shores.
Doubtless the rhyme OF his childhood must have ill.,
| splred him, "Fee, 10, fum smell the blood OF an
Engllshman;' but to the credit OF his humanity,
instead of plugging his moars Into the peccans
islanders he took to their beef and pudding quite
naturally. 1t Is even said he has come away
wiser If not better man, and that hereafter his
denunciations OF the "blarsted Brusher may be
less whitening.
we have General Fremont here, also, in his new
r6ge'or President of the Transconthental Memphis
Railway 1t Is to be hoped ne has brought with aim
some proofs that this mythical road has bapi-
tation as wen as a name. The American Minister
gone, and the one just come, when consulted on the
character OF this new American enterprise have not
given 1t by any means clean certificate. 1t Is idle
to repeat the rumors current but General Fremont
president, and Messrs. Carter aud Forbes, repre-
sened as trustees will be compelled toj Justify the
statements made in their names Or take the conse
! quences which, in France. are very serious. The
laws here are severe against misrepresentation or
| fraud and If these gentlemen have been uncon-
| sciously involved in any doubtful scheme they
| should hasten to clear their skirts botn FOR them
| selves and the credit Of their country.
| Our wandering Minstrel, Longfeiiow, has brought
up here after an extended tour amid the ruins OF
past civilization, and 1t is to be hoped that he has
| caught new inspiration from the decaying temples
and hazy sunsets OF Itay-rather decrepit topic
! or from the more ancient and mysterious monu-
ments OF EgypL If he has been there. He can
! hardly have failed somewhere to have picked up
| some pretty thoughts and tinging metaphors with
an eye to business, and win hasten. we trust, to
| embaim them in undyng verse

to thwart and defeat him. The last trick they
essayed was to get an order from the Foreign 0ice
for the English secretary OF Legation, that has nth

his post at pehln; and the object OF TINS mannuvre
was partly to excite prejudice IN England against
mission entirely composed OF foreigners, and partly
TO break up the happy family that had gone on thus
