Frenh War Ituniori. From Paris correspondence ol the 2ith ult. we take those Items of news: The Government, it is said, is about to get up another war excitement, as a counter cbeck to that which is likely to bo created by the carry ing out of the threats of M. Keiatiy and his col leagues of the Left, in regard to the convocation of the Corps Leglslutif, unci which is causing it great perplexity. With this view a rumor has been circulated among the "well-informed" men of the Bourse that the Emperor has sent an en ergetic note to Herlin, declaring that the Incor poration of the Grand Duchy of Baden in the Con federation of the North, which we aro as sured will take place as soon as the Baden Chambers meet, wil be regarded as a oaxualeUi. I need not tell you that this internal condition of Franco at the present moment is such as to ren der war a physical impossibility. The Empe ror has not strength enough, personally or poli tically, to venture upon a conllict of this magni tude. His whole preoccupation at present is to devise means of assuring thu succession of his throne to his sou. lie can only do this by less ening tho burdens of his people and giving them a voice in tlio (iiiestiou ol peace and war. Tho report to which I reicr may, therefore, bo re garded as a tucro political nianojuvro to divert the public attention from tho questions which aro more immediately pressing. Mow Purl-dun Drive Away VNitorx. The departure of tho Chinese Embassy for Sweden this week gavo rise to some embarrass mei'ts nt the Legation on which Mr. Burlingamo had not counted At tho last moment tho pro prietor of the house which it had occupied In tho Rue Bel Kespcro put in a claim lor damages Jx his furniture which made the pig-tails of Mr. Burliugamo's colleagues stand on end, and even iipFet the equanimity of that well-balanced diplomat himself. Mr. Burlingamo offered to deposit 13,000 francs to abido the Issue of an appraisement by a competent person, and in creased the offer to 10,000, which was refused, lie then appealed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who threatened to send down a fllo of soldiers to tho house unless the Mission was allowed to remove its baggage quietly. This had the desired effect, and the Ambassadors and their suite lett the same dav. i The greedy ml arbitrary Bonduct ol tlje Twis house proprietors Is driving all the foreigners to the hotels, ana limiting tue stay oi most oi tnem In the French capital. You can have no idea ef the embarrassments and vexations to which strangers are subjected, both on hiring and quit ting an apartment. The claims for damages at the end of a term, when followed by the deten tion of baggage, are not. it is true, very favor ably entertained by the tribunal'; but this does not prevent mom ucing made, in tue nope mat tho anxiety of people to get away, and to avoid law proceedings, will induce them to submit to the Imposition. Myadvlco to every American coming to Paris is to go to a hotel to avoid these amioyunccs. He will gave both money and tem per by following it. CUBA, rrogrcis or the Hpvohitlon-Th Late! Piece of Mt-onalloiial New. From Havana correspondence ofiOcU 2 to the New York Time we take the following: The most Important sensational news has been actively circulated iu this city for tho past few days in regard to tlie surrender of Jordan with his whole force. It has constituted the main topic of lutercst. The telegram Informing you of the fact was autho rized bv tho Captaiu-Ueneral, who sent for tho agent or the New York Asso ciated Press, and, through his telegraphic Censor gave him the news thnt ucneral Jordan had submitted proposals of surrender, not of him self alone, but of the whole force under his com mand, 1 lie terms mild to have been proposed by Jordan were substantially that a large sum of money (amount not stated) was to be paid to him on the completion of tlie surrender, and that his personal safety was to be assured by tho (ioverumeut until his safe arrival in the United States. The reply of Ocucral de Kudus was that, considering existing I'ircu'iistances, ills duty compelled him to refuse any proposals of this nature, and that he hoped within the short, space of three months to mete out to him (Jordan) the pun ishment whic h his piratical conduct merited. Tills Is, In a few words, the version given by the Captain Oeneral of the allalr which has caused such intense excitement here among all classes Cuban and Span ish. The former scout, Indignantly as a glaring false hood the assertion made by de Uodas, ami declare it to be only one more of his wiles ami subterfuges. It "certainly does look exceedingly strange that an ofllcer so high In the coniidence of the Cuban Government, hud occupying so exalted a position (second in command) in the command or its armies, should possess the temerity to make proposals which would render (on their becoming known to the Cubans) his life not worth a minute's purchase. This elng the fact, It would probably be as well to receive with extreme caution the story, made public at the request and with the authority of Captain Uenerul de Kodas, respecting the proposed sarrender of General Jordan. A Promiscuous Challenge. The editor of the Voz de Cuba has published a pro miscuous challenge in the columns of his paper, llrst to Constantino Nuneg, secondly to the editors of the New York Revolution, aud lastly to all who credit the assertion of Nunez, in which it Is stated that some party gave Castarion a box on the ear some time ago in Puerto Principe. He closes by saying: 'The writer of this will proceed to any place he may be called to, to make good his words." Should any of the famed Cuban Junta take up the gauntlet thrown down so brusquely by the editor or the Voz, we may then expect to hear or another Conto-Porto affair. Sou vermis. The Spnnlsli (.iinhoatft In New York Prepara tion to Prevent their Departure. Rumor has It that gunboat No. 1 or the Spanish fleet Intends to slip away to sea, if possible, within a few hours hence, unless prevented by the Interfer ence or the United States officials. Those connected with the vessels are very reticent, however, and so nothing dellnlte could be learned regarding the in tentions or those who direct her movements. One thing is certain, however, and that is that her movements are strongly suspected by the officers of the United States steamer Maria, as that vessel, evi dently anticipating a crisis, suddenly changed her position yesterday, mooring more closely to the Spanish boat, and bringing her gun to bear directly upon tlie mouth or the basin through which she must pass in an attempt to escape. These suspi cions were doubtless created by the fact that early in the afternoon of yesterday a coal barge was towed alongside of the Spanish vessel, and with the evi dent purpose of supplying her with the needful fuel. The No. 1 is taut and trim, having her boats hanging from the davits, and is apparently waiting for nothing but the order to proceed. It may be, however, that these apprehensions are not borne out by the facts of the case, and that nothing of the exciting character mentioned is worthy of credit. It is possible that the gunioat is receiving her fuel ror the second trial trip, which, it is given our, win iaKe piace ims weeK. o mat, after all, the officers of the guardian vessel may have been misled by what certainly appears to be highly suspicious occurrences. ..V. Jr. Timet if thin mornimj. The Hornet. A despatch forwarded from Washington last night, relative to this vessel, ends as follows: "Outside or official circles there is a suggestion that some one has been guilty or treachery ; but it is generally believed that that no serious conse quences can result to the Cubans beyond temporary delay. It Is asserted that proof Is abundant, anil can be had, if the Government will seek it, that the Hornet expedition was set on root in the United States; that it was Intended to make war upon a nation with which we are at peace, and therefore the offlcers and men have violated our neutrality laws, and have become liable to the penalty of line or Imprisonment. It is argued on the part of the Government that the fact of the Hornet sailing from Phlladelpkia to Halifax, and then putting to sea, where she was BJld and re crlved her ammunition, Is no defense, when it can be shown that all these acts were Included in the original conception and common design when the expedition was set on foot. EARTHQUAKES. The Sliork on the South American Coast. In addition to the details of tho recent earth quake shocks in South America published by us, we glean the following from the Lima corres pondence of the Panama Star, dated Sept. 13: It is not too much to say that the news re ceived from the southern provinces has caused the utmost consternation. A few hours after the arrival of tlie steamer on the 0th an extra edition of the National informed tho already 6tifllcicntly susceptible people of more strong earthquakes on tho days or the 30th, 21st, and !i4th. On this latter day the shocks are repre sented as something frightful, knocking down walls and houses, but fortunately inflicting no loss of human life. Tho worst move ment (of th vertical kind) took place about ten minutes past 1. At Iquiquo and Ariea the sea receded with a fearful velocity, carrying with it a lot of boats, mid returned afterwards six feet beyond its usual level. This was repeated several times, and it may well bo imagined that tho inhabitants took to their heels without much loss of time, in a state bordering on frenzy. The few people that now live In Ariea aro under tonts, exposed to all the vicissitudes of the weather. Business is tot-vlly paralyzed, and the town is represented as being like a city of the dead. All the goods in tho temporary custom house are being trans ferred to Tacua, where tho earthquakes are equally strong, hut where they are, at all events, protected from being swamped away by a monster wave of the sea. In Iquique and Pisagua a similar uncomfortable, statu of things prevail. . At rcquipn, Puno, Cuzco, Moquegua, in fact all throughout the South, tlio mouth of August has been the usher in of unusually strong earth quakes and it is not to bo wondered at if people nro disposed to believe that Fulb's theory Is about to prove true. Here in Lima and Callao we have not had any severe shocks, but pcoplo are nevertheless in a 8tuto of great alarm, owing to tho German as tronomer's ominous prophecies. Many families nre leaving tho port and coining to Lima, while people in Lima are In their turn emigrating in far'e numbers to the open country around. All this interferes a good deal with business, and it will bo quite a blessing, even to those not be lieving in the theory set up by Faib, when all this suspense Is over and we have tho next three weeks behind us.

( The mercantile demand for money to-day is below the average, but tho activity nt tho Stock Hoard makes up for the deficiency.

A number of Important measures were introduced in both houses, and referred. Among them are tho following bills: To repress tho Ku-Klux; law for providing for tho calling of a Constitu tional Convention, to be held in November, for tho purpose of revising tlie Constitution of tho State, or forming a new one; to repeal an act giving tho legal advertising of the State to the radical newspapers. A bill was also introduced to repeal all laws enacted in tho years 1805, 'CO, '67, and 'C8. This last effort is considered a weak attempt at burlesque. A bill was intro duced in the Senate to repeal tho franchise law. It has been decided to bring up the fifteenth amendment to-day. There will not be more than twenty members in both houses who will vote for its ratification. FROM THE PLAINS. Vice-President Colfax at Halt Lake. Bryan, U. T., Oct. 8. According to the views of old citizens of Salt Lake, last Tuesday was one of the most marked occasions ever wit nessed in that city. Vice-President Colfax was serenaded, and in response to repeated calls he addressed the immense crowd in front of tho Townsend House. In the course of his remarks bo gavo his views at length on tho subject of polygamy. Ho quoted tlio Book of Mormon, and proved, at least to the satisfaction of his Gentile auditors, that the whole thing was un wise nnd illegal and ought to be abolished. He was followed by Governor Bross.'.of Illinois, who fully endorsed the arguments of tho Vice-President with such freedom of speech as was never beforo exercised in that city, Mr. Colfax and his party loft for tho East on Wednesday in tlie best health and spirits. THE NEW YOltK MONEY MARKET. The following extracts snow the state of the New York money market yesterauy : from tin Herald. "Gold became quite active to-day, and rose to l.w, in consequence of the discovery that the Sub-Trea-Bury hud liquidated about two millions of three per cents by use of greenbacks drawn from tlie fifty mil lions reserve held by the Treasury, as authorized by Congress. When the step had been eauvassod, aud when it was evident that such use ( the reserve was not what it threatened to lie viz., an inflation of the currency tlie price of gold fell back to 131 ''. "The short interest in the market Is still lai'KO,aud leans of cash gold were mado at five to two percent, for carrying und flut for burrowing. The steamer I'nion to-dny took out 7500 iu treasure. It will bo seen by the detailed report in another column that the Cold Kxchango has suspended for a week all action on tin; subject of a new Clearing House, the oltteuiH of the Gold Kxcliuiige Bank asserting that they were entirely solvent and had their capital Intact; that In a few days tiiey would be able tu resume business, und iiitenuccl then to propose an entire reorganization of the bunk, wita new directors, new oilleers, and an entire change of administration; that they were willing, If tint Cold Itoom ho destred, to abuudun the baiiKlng business, which has alwavs been objectionable to the members of the board, aud to conllne the business of the bunk exclusively to the clciii uiici s of gold for tho mem bers of the Itoom. It will be noticed further on that at the Stock J2.cliunge tills morning the best bid Tor Cold Bxeuangu Hunk slock was tH. "Tlie money market was very easy, onri funds were ofTered us low as four per cent, on (Jovernmeuts before three o'clock. Accounts were generally inudt up at two o'clock, and in tho interval to the close of banking hours money was to be had from six per cent, downward, according as the borrower chose. There Is not much disposition to lend for long pe riods of time, which allows the distrust of the pre sent situution. Discounts were dull, the few buyers having a lurge raiigo o' good names.
