THE MAY' 28,' 18G6. OUR PARIS LETTER. rrlln nad Politics Tti Scourge r War laovltoble The S motion in Clorinauy, Italy, od Anairla Count Blamarb-Paris Goaalp Adellu. Pattl, f.Ut. Hr. Special Corrttpontlenct of The Evening Telegraph Paris, May 11, 1S0G. Politic now lake up the whole time of the Tarisliins, and very little attention la paid by them to the pleasures of the Bois do Boulogne, or other Parisian delights. We are now, one and all, studying the map of Germany, as our geofrraphy was gehiug rather rusty with repoct to the positions of Wotfenbuttel, llevtz, and other outlandish names. All the armies are now on a war footing in the lniid of sauerkraut, and in Italy all men who are able to bear arm are np and doing. Prussia, Austria,' and Italy are all jrrowlinjr at each o.uer, but none has as yet had the courage to begin. Who is to bell the cat ? A month njjo the Idea of a European war was quite, laufilied at, as it was said that llapsbiin? aud il regnlantuomo were too poor to think of iittiui; cut even uu extra soldier. .Everybody w con vine ed that we Khali not get out of toe Euro peau hobble without the scourge of war. Since I last wrote, many thinps have taken place, wliHili cannot lail to interest you, as tuey dous, lnthehigh-'-td.-ere.'. I will, therefore, give you an opercu of the state of things with us. I bee m with UEBJfANY. Saxony, plared between Austria and Prussia, like a poor hhce between two railway ear rinee Duller, h beguii by bc'gin? the Bund to reniuiiHirate with I'rusfia, aud indeed to use threats in cafe of her refusal to assume a more peaceful attitude. Prussiain answer says that Bnxony is doing likewise, aud the Bund has been called upon to pronounce judgment. Con . trary to geueial expectation, the verdict has been given in tavor of Saxony. Prussia will now not abide by the verdict which goes against it. In other words, setting at naught the heaties signed ut tlie Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the treaty of tho lfltli of May, 1820, tugued by the German Contederation or Bund. Prussia is, therefore, now out of the pale of the Confederation, and her pobitkm is one of isolation. THE CACSE OF THE EOTB OF THE BUND Is evidently the extraordinary speech of the Em peror of the French, a few days ago, al Auxerre, where he opened the agricultural show. Napo leon 111 then declared that he most profoundly detested the treaties of 1815, which means that he will not let an opportunity pass without de stroying them one by one. The declarations of the Emperor made the Germans reflect that Bis-, mark and Napoleon had come to an understand ing, and that the consequence of an alliance ol Prussia with France would be a sacrifice of the Rhenish provinces on the lett bank of the beau iiftd Mine. Tlie Emperor's speech may for a time prevent the German powers from coming to blows, but how is Italy to be stopped in her warlike ardor, us her only hope of salvation is in attacking Venetia ? ITALY is in a state which cannot be prolonged a fort night longer. The army has been on a war footing ever since the 6th of May, an immense e xpeuse to the country, and 30,000 volunteers vsrtll tnriti c 11 ' ikl 1 thn numlu. unHur t li n n n -y ... ft . . . 1 of Garibaldi. Italian funds have fallen to a ery low point; therefore the time has coihe when Victor Emanuel must either conquer or perish. Popular demonstrations are everywhere taking place, and were the attack on the Ger mans postponed there would be a revolution. AUSTRIA OK TUB LOOK-OUT. Venetia is now one iminenBo lortiess, contain ing 20,000 soldiers ready for the battle. General Benedik takes command of tho Army of the North, which will operate in Saxony against Prussia, in case of a conllict between the tvo masters of I'ermauy. Austria, in order to prevent any iatervent.ion of France, will remain strictly ou tlie deci sive in Venetia, aud will not cross the N'jujio unlets provoked by the Italians. . NARROW ESCAPE OF TUB PREMI BB VON BISMAUIt. A few days ago a young man of the name of Karl Blind, the sou of a German refugee, fired six revolver shots at the Prussian a ltocmt when he was returuiug homo by the Linden (the prin cipal and most beautiful street of Berlin), w ho, however, escaped with but shsht injury. E'i3 mark f-ho wed Ihe greatest ttnq frohl, arresting the murderer with his own hands, and giving him over to tho police. Who can tell what a day may briue forth? for the Premier, from belag the most unpopular man in Germany, has sud denly become the mot popular. A quelque chose malheur tit bon. The Kia?, and even a great part of the population of Berlin, are in testacies, and do not kuow what to do to show their, joy at the Premier's escupe embracing and dissolution of the Ch imbers (what IS urn ark has been hankering alter for some time) on the part of the King, and torchlight serenadf s, vocal and instrumental, on the part of the "Berhners.'i DISSOLUTION or THE CHAMBERS. The Prussian Parliament has again been sent to the right about by the obstinate old Wilhelm, and BlBmark will no doubt be named dictator. In ail the European muddle there is one very obscure part What will France do? As for Russia, private letters inform us that Srbas topol will soon again rise from its ashes. There is no ostensible arming going on in France, because she is always more or less xeady. The idea of a war here is extremely unpopu. lar the Emperor will have, malgre lui, to cou. Hult the feeling of his people before putting a finger in the pie. Money must bo had; and will the people grant the supplies requisite? Time will toon, I hope, enlighten us, and I suppose that my nest epistle to you will be port lenebraa lux. This state of suspense is In tolerable, PARISIAN FLEASURES AT A DISCOUNT. We have now Tittlo time or inclination for pleasure just at pre-ent. Our theatres, never very lively at the close ol the season, are now ull indeed. 1-.NE ARTS EXHIBITION IN TUB CHAMPS ELYIKBS. Tbii annual exhibition of painting; has again opened its doors to the pubic. The ihow of pictum Is not srood. With the exception of Courbetn splendid "Landscape, witi Deer," and Com'e's "Charles V," and a few others, there are really very few pictures worth any thing. Pietists, however, now bring high prlcea in France, aud a few days aaro Horace Vernet's picture of 'Joseph sold by his Brethren" wu knocked down at 30,000 fraud at a public auc tion. An amateur has paid 20,000 francs for Fromcntln'i "Arabs," at the sale of this year. PARIS CHIT CHAT. There exists in Paris, Independently of the Bourse (the fine building which, with its beauti ful alto relievo, is well known to every stranger), a so-called petite bourse, com posed of pettiiogging stock-brokers, unattached, or, more properly speaking, unauthorized, who daily carry on their peddling business on the Boulevards, much to the annoyance of the flaneurs who frequent this lively place, perhaps tho liveliest of the world. No passerby was safe from these locusts of the pact, ns they are hcie very properly termed, as he was sure to be pestered by one of these stock brokers, having every kind of stock, from Consols to the Ottoman loan. The nuisance had become so intoleranle, that the police were obliged to reject these gentlemen from the troltoir of the Boulevard, to the groat satisfaction of the plea en re-seekers. Gambling has been carried to a high pitch this winter in the clubs of Paris. The Prefect oi the Paris police, M. Fietio, is straining every nerve to put it down, but it is, I think, more than he can do in such an immoral city. Biuarat. the veriest gumnling came in the world, ha been the ruin oi many a young man of gjod family. TOE FLlonT OF FATTI. Our nightingale has flown away to the shore of la perfide Albion. Before leaving she took two benefits, as at the first not more than half of her admirers could get admisi-lon to the Salle Venta dor. Her reception was, of course, mot enthusi antlc,being called several times before the curtain. Never, since the time ol the lamented Malibian, was such a larewell seen at the Pans Italian Opera. We must now bid adieu to this charming songstief.8 for a time, and , perhaps forever; for we hear it reported that she is about giving her hand and heart to a German nobleman. We hope, however, (hat she will not be so cruel to the public. CITY ORDINANCES.
