' ' Paris, May 22, 1866.
Not withstanding that the treat leading powers
intend sending their representatives to sit round
a table covered with green cloth, large' flat ink
stands, blotting paper, pens and ink and paper,
to settle the intricate questions which cause us
fio much annoyance in Europe, I do not think
that matters will be settled before a fewshote
Lave been fired.
I have no belief In the paciflo intentions
of either Italy or Prussia. If war has not yet
broken out, it is because neither Victor Emanuel
nor Blsmark was ready; and If the diplomatists
pretend to be agreed on some points which may
lead to an understanding on others, it in, I doubt
not, but a ruse de gverre to gain time, as sneh
provinces as Dalmatla and the Tyrol, which the
Italians Intend attacking, are only comeatable
in the month of June at the soonest.
AN AIR OF PEACE
Is, however, wafted' over the soene, as Mr
Lajard arrived yesterday from London, bring
ing the acceptance of the British Foreign Office
of the Congress programme. It appears that
Russia has also adhered to the proposal; and
that Prussia, Austria, and Italy will not dare
refuse to accept the invitation to send repre
Bentntives.
Therefore there is to be a quiet talk, to see if
things cannot be amicably settled without Whit
worths, Armstrongs, and Minies; but no peace
is possible without Austria giving upVenetla,
which it is not likely she will do.
There seems to be an evident desire on the
part of the Italians to have a slap at Aus
tria's quadrilateral, as 20,000 volunteers were de
manded, and more than 60,000 have offered their
services to the champion of Italy, Garibaldi.
The Government will not be able to stop the
ardor of young Italy, and should any attempt
be made to stop it a icvolution would be the
consequence.
INCREDULITY IN ITALY.
My private carrespondence from Italy tells me
that there is no belief in the efficacy of a Con
gress in the peninsula, as they are aware that
there is as much enthusiasm in the States of
Franz Joseph as in those of Victor Emanuel,
and the Germans will never give up Venetia
unless obliged to do so by force.
BEHIND THE SCENES.
Those who are initiated in the secrets of the
diplomatic world assert that even were the German-Italian
difficulty set aside, there would be
some difficulty in settling the Oriental question,
which has again appeared in the horizon.
THE NEW HOSPODAR,
the elect of the people of the Moldo-Talla-chian
provinces, Prince Charles Hohenzollern,
has betaken himssli to Bucharest, notwith
standing the protestations of those powers
which signed the Convention of 1858. The
young Prussian prince was received with enthu
siasm. Turkey, urged on by Prussia, has de
termined to prevent Ilohenzollern-Sigmaringen
from succeeding Prince Couza. It is, theretore,
more than likely that this Moldo-Vfallachian
question will be a very hard nut to crack by
the diplomatists, who have already enough on
their hands.
The Memorial Diplomatique was quite right in
calling our attention to the attitude of Prussia
on the banks of the Danube, and prophesying
that the first cannon shot would inevitably wake
up the question d!orierU from its uneasy slum
bers. But enough of politics; for, to tell the
truth, there is no longer any kind of policy.
The financial crisis, the consequence of the
political state of Europe, has not much affected
our city. The only remarkable circumstance in
the money world is the robbery of three mil
lions of trancs by the cashier of the "Sous
Comptoir des Chemins de For." The delinquent,
whose conscience gave him no rest, gave him
self up to justice. What adds a greater interest
to this sad aflair, are the motives which
prompted the unfortunate man to commit so
reprehensible a deed. The following is the
account he gave when brought before the ma
gistrates: You have, no doubt, heard of Prlnoe Crouzy
chanel, a descendant of Orpad, and a pretender
to the Hungarian throne. He is no sham
prince, but a real one, who has just recovered
the sum of three millions from the ex-reignlng
Duke ot Modena.
It appears that this sum was deposited by his
Highness in the "Comptoir des Chemins de Fer,"
and that the Cashier ot the company, Monsieur
, in the expectation of becoming Prime
Minister of the eventual King ot the Magyars,
Crouzy chancl, had taken the money and spent
it, in order to buy over partisans for his sove
reign. We hear the culprit is now at the prison
of Mazas, and will shortly be brought to trial.
He will have to stand in the same dock where
another monarch had to appear I mean Orelie
I, King of Araucania.
A KICK-DP AT THE BACES.
Low-lived manners are, we are sorry to say,
getting quite the thing in upper circles. Ladies
now dre much after the fashion of a class of
females that decency forbids me to name; and
the gentlemen of the present day seem to have
taken the groom and Oit Jioitter as their models in
dress and in manners. We had a proof of this a tew
days ago at the races of La March e, where several
so-called gentlemen, having quarrelled about
some bet on the horse "L'Afrlcains," settled the
matter alter the fashion of Hcenan and Tom
Bayers. Several of these "gentlemen" returned
home in a pitiful state, and we hear that there
has been a great demand for "poor man's plait'
fer" and opodeldoc in the neighborhood of the
"Boulevard des Itallens."
THE EXHIBITION of 1867
will take place, even should we have a Euro
pesn war. ,
THE SON OF ABD-EL-KADgB AT THE T0ILBBIBS.
The son of the celebrated Emir who made our
occupation of Algeria so unpleasant for great
number of years, la at present a guest of the
Emperor at the Tulleries. He la a very hand
some young man, aged twenty, who has received
a mott brilliant education; he speak English
French, Italian, and Spanish like a native. He
danced several times with the Empress and the
Princes de Mettemlch, with the ease and grace
of any Parisian cavalier. The young Emir will
it is said, shortly visit the United 8tates, and
during his stay at Boston will te the guest of
Mr. D. of that town, with whose son he was

school-fellow when at the College of Amboisc,
where bis father the Emir was a prisoner.
Dancing is still kept up at the Tuileries, but
small talk is now quite banished, and during the
cotillion the other night at tbe Empress' private
ball we heard nothing but the words Blsmark,
Landwehr, Victor Emanuel, quadrilateral, Gari
baldi; and when all these are exhausted the
question is, "What do you think of the silua
tiont "
GARIBALDI IN MOURNING.
Intelligence lust arrived from Nice informs us
tl.at the brother of the great Italian captain and
liberator has ust died after a short illness. Ills
nephews, Teresita and Mcnottl, arrived but in

ST. GOTHARD EARTHQUAKES.
Victor Hugo, our great rominco writer, hav
ing more confidence In the stability of British
banks than those ot his own country, placed
tbe proceeds of his work, "Les Misorables," In
the limited liability bank of Overend, Gurney A
Co., who have just failed to such an enormous
extent, a great portion of which he will most
probably lose. The author of the " Tollers of
the Sea" will now have another opportunity of
crying out against the horrors of war, and com
posing more than one ode to Republics and peace
and goodwill to all men.
THE AERIAL DILIGENCE.
The walls of Paris have for tbe last month
been plastered with posters of an immoderate
size, announcing the trial trip of an aerial dill
gence, to start from the Champ de Mars, by a
Mods. Delamarne, who, according to his account,
has found out a means of navigating the air,
"with or against tbe wind."
The aerial diligence, or, more properly speak .
ing, ship, is in the form of a cylinder, with large
wings or flaps attached to it, and when seen at
a distance much resembles a bird. I must
avow that, when visiting this monster of the air,
I felt very much inclined to think I was a gull,
and I had more chances of flying than the aerial
ship. However, the aeronaut, M. Delamarne,
spoke with such assurance and confidence as
to the result of the attempt to guide his balloon
tgainst the wind, that I felt very much ashamed
of myself for doubting his veracity, and humbly
begged his pardon, sotto voice, for being such a
skeptic.
Sunday, the 13th instant, was fixed for the
first trial trip of Mons. Delamarne's aerial dili
gence, and on that day thousands had assem
bled to witness its departure for some place
unknown. The Emperor arrived on the grounds
about five o'clock, and desired that the aeronaut
should be presented to him. His Majesty had a
long conversation with Mons. Delamarne, who
explained the system upon which he thought he
should be able to raise and guide the balloon as
he pleased. When everything had been fully
explained, the intrepid aeronaut stepped
into his ship, accompanied by several air sailors,
and alter everything bad been got ready, gave
orders to let go,, which was accordingly done,
but it was no go. The balloon would not go off,
but remained on terra (irma, heaving and pitch
ing in a manner most ludicrjus for the lookers
on, but anything but pleasant to Mons. Dela
marne k Co. within, who had every difficulty
in keeping on their legs, and presented the
aspect of drunken men in a clothes-basket.
Kven the Emperor laughed until the tears ran
down his cheeks. Ho we ver, after the public got
tired of laughing, it began to get angry, and
n- anifested its discontent by yelling and hooting,
and demanding its money back, which was,
however, refused. As there was no prospect ot
an ascension, several of the spectators made a
rush at the unfortunate balloon, from which the
ecronaut had descended, and betrau tearing it to
pieces, and had It not been for the interference of
the police, there Is no doubt but that there
would not have been much of the aerial ship
left.
Mons. Delamarne has not since been heard of,
and the words on the bills, "no money returned,"
have been carried out to the letter.
Ballooning has ever been a most profitable
"spec" in Paris, and, though the public has
been taken in over and over again, there is no
doubt but that, if a fresh Gulliver were to ap
pear to-morrow, announcing a balloon of a
hitherto unknown kind, there would be found
thousands to pay their money to go and see it;
so true Is it that "one fool makes many."
The second volume of the "Life of Ctesar" hus
at last appeared, with explanatory maps, en
gravings, charts, and, in fact, everything that
can make It complete. It Is, as you know, the
work of Napoleon III. His Majesty has had
several copies bound in the most splendid and
oostly manner, which are to be offered as pre
sents to the different sovereigns of Europe. The
"Life of Julius Caesar" was written by the Em
peror during the leisure moments left him by the
cares of government. It is very many years
ago since he commenced his work. 1 1 was mostly
when at Vichy, or at St. Cloud, that his Majesty
has devoted his time to studying the life ot the
great captain. He has had several models of a
Horn an camp constructed In the gardens of th e
latter plactf, under the direction of the savant,
General Tane, ald-ue-camp to his Majesty.
The Emperor has not compiled this work un
aided. Immense services have been reudered
him by M. Alfred Maury, of the Institute.
The death of the Due de Moray caused some
interruption to the progress of the book, as the
Emperor was very much upset by the death of
his brother, and it was not until some time after
his death that he could master courage to re
sume his favorite occupation.
THE FAIR BEX OF THE PRESENT DAY.
A book has just' been published by M. Guy
de Charmare, which has found more than usual
favor in the beau monde circles. It is called
'Les Femmes d'Aujourd'hui," and gives us
true picture of those ladies who shine by their
beauty and wit at the Imperial Court of the Tuil-
lerles. The book Is written in a pleasant style,
and there is "nothing extenuate, or aught set
down in malice," In it. Though under a feigned
name, we have not much difficulty in recogniz
ing the Princess Metternlch, the beautiful and
caplvating Austrian Ambassadress, the Court
tess de Pourtales, the wife of the Prussian at
tache, and the Princess MathUde, the late Prln
cess Demldoff, cousin to the Emperor, and sister
to Plon-plon, alias Prince Napoleon.
Happily, It may be said that all our French
ladles do not resemble the ladles of the famine
Renoiton, which has been translated by Webster,
of the Adclphi, in London, and produced under
the title of tbo Fast Family. All ot our ladles
do not express themselves in the "slang lan
guage" so much the fashion nowadays.
Several of our Parisian aiistocratlc families
have been thrown into mourning by the death
of their sons, who were addicted, if we may use
the term, to tbe senseless and cruel practice of
steeple-chasing.
Five young officers, having nothing better to
do, determined to try the powers of their re
spective steeds, and started across the country
with the understanding that nothing was to
stop them. In tholr course a pretty high wall
came in their way, which they attempted to
clear, but tbe attempt proved fatal to three of
the riders, who were thrown from their horses
and broke their necks in the fall: The two
others were fortunate enough to reach the goal,
and returned home of course much pleased with
their sport.
The cholera Is f till hovering about Europe.
It has not quite left Rotterdam, and several
cases have shown themselves on board the ves
sels moored off Liblo, not far from Antwerp.
Dr. Gregolre, of tbe latter city, has becu sent by
the authorities to render assistance.
There is no doubt but that the project of
piercing the Alps, under the St. Gothard,
will be ultimately carried out. The tunnel will
be more than twenty English miles long. The
entrance of the passage will be about (our
thousand feet above the level of the sea. The
highest gradient will be on the Italian side,
about two and three-quarter per cent., the ave
rage being about one and a quartor. Where
the inclination does not exceed four to the one
thousand, ordinary engines will be employed;
but when that gradient is surpassed, special
ones will have to be used. Thi3 work will cost
about ninety millions of francs.
beveral shocks of earthquakes have again
been felt at Nice, Counes, Goastc, Frejus, and
even as far as Marseilles. The oscillations ap
peared from north to south.
