Meanwhile public attention is occupying itself with balancing and estimating the somewhat chequered and fluctuating indica tions of good and evil which are opening out for us in the winter of 1866, and the renewal of the season of social activity in the capital. After visiting and conversing with some financial friends and seeing one or two of the few official per sons whose duties have detained them in town, I find, upon the whole, that the tone of feeling is one of confidence as regards the future. I will not venture to say that this confidence is unlimited or of indefinite ex tension ; but it is sufficiently so to authorize and enable both political men and men of business to ourtail their vision wigiin its horizon, and attend to the present with tranquility, without attempting to stretch their prescience beyond the limits of mortal ken. In plain words, it is generally taken for granted that we are to hear no more, at all events, for some time to come, about extension of fron tiers or annexations either nolens or volens, of “ sympathizing 5 ’ races, or any such ex citing and alarming topics; The watchwords fit the day and hour at least, if of no longer 'date, are “Peace and the Universal Exhibi tion.” The national irritation. so widely and unreasonably felt against our former neighbors, and which looked so threatening when I last addressed you, has subsided, or at any rate been adjourned. Policy and in terest alike dictated such a course: for France was neither prepared, in a military point of view, for such a conflict as the far ther indulgence in her ill-humor must neces sarily have provoked; nor, even if prepared, could she have entered upon it without the sacrifice of the vast interests now definitely engaged in the gigantic enterprise of the Champs de Mars. There has been too much said and written of late about the health of the Emperor, for me to allow the subject to pass without notice. I believe myself to be in a position to speak with some precision on so important a matter. There is no doubt that the Emperor has been suffering anew of late from a painful and depressing malady; from an affection, in short, (for there is no use in mincing the matter) of the bladder, of long standing. He is dow in the hands of the celebrated Xelaton, the same eminent French operator who extracted the ball from Garibaldi’s leg just after an English practitioner had de clared that no ball existed. Xelaton goes down to Biarritz once a week to visit his illustrious patient. But serious or immedi ate danger to lile there neither has been, I believe, nor is there at this moment. Only protracted and painful illness is a great damper to imperial energies, as-well as to those of ordinary mortals; and lam well inclined to believe that German, Italian, Mexican and Roman questions may all have felt the consequences of Napo leons diminished energy and activity both of mind and body, just as a private man’s affairs suffer by his indisposition or inabi lity for exertion. But this state of things differs longo intervallo from the political col lapse which might ensue in this country from-any fatal result. On the contrary, it is an argument in favor of moderate coun sel, and an element in the preservation of the peace of Eurone and the world. The Emperor Maximilian and the Pope may perhaps complain that Xapoleon has not quite stood up for them as they expected. But people in general will not regret a ces sation from that restless intermeddling with the affairs both of the Old World and the Xew, which has been so marked a fea ture in the career of the present ruler of France. To turn from the world-wide topics to more homely matters, I may mention the disastrous inundations which are at present devastating the country in consequence of the late deplorable state of the weather. The rains throughout last month have been everywhere incessant. The result Is that here in Paris every one has been watching the Seine, which nas risen .to within a few inohes of the crown of the arch of its bridges, flooding warehouses and cellars innumerable, and Committing divers other acts of devastation; while the Loire and its tributaries have over-run all Touraine in a frightful manner, reducing whole villages to desolation. A vast official subscription is being organized for the relief of the snf. ferers, the Emperor heading the list with 100,000 francs, the Empress giving 25,000, and Prince Napoleon 10,000. American society has scarcely yet begun to reconstitute itself in Paris for the winter. But you will not be surprised to learn that among such citizens qf the United States as have yet returned to us, the prevailing sub ject of conversation is the change which has just been announced in the diplomatic re presentation of their country in the French capital. The political significance of the recall of Mr. Bigelow, irit had any such, can be better estimated by you at home, perhaps, than it can here. It is in a social point of view that the matter is most keenly discussed among American residents in Paris; and as such it becomes rather a deli cate subject for public remark, because the name of a lady is quite as much if not more connected with it than that of a gentleman. All, therefore, that I shall permit myself to say respecting it is that so much offence had been given and hostility incurred that, the act of the authorities, at home, iu, re placing the late minister by General Dix, seems to be recognized as demanded alike with a view to the dignity of American soaal relations m Paris, and the exigencies of the public service.. 6 L—Octob&b 17. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bulletin ] Park, Friday,- Oct. 5, 1866,-Europe seems to be gradually resettling back into a state of quiescence after the late convul sions. It is true that King George of Hano ver “protests” and that the Duke of Nassau insists upon having his mineral waters and his gambling houses restored to him. But even a toy government in Great Britain is too mnoh occupied in combating Mr. Bright and reform to trouble Itself about thean cient domunons of the House of Guelph and the inhabitants of the Duohy of Nassau have shewn themselves too glad to get rid of their ragamuffin ruler to leave any doubt as to what the national will is m that ilireotion, petty sovereigns as the g of Naples and half a dozen others, Bee EoroDe ha t settli “e d°wn into a new tom* with little regard for their “divine” rights and with every prospeot of the peace upon which we are entering warranting the Em peror Napoleon’s prediction that it would be stable and permanent. The Moniteur hasjust further confirmed these views bv announcing the definitiye regulation of the European a ffaiks. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17.1866 pecuniary difficulties between Italy and Austria and the'final signature of Peaceat Vienna. Italy agrees to pay 87J millions as the share of "Venetia in the loan con tracted by the Austrian Emperor in 1854, and as compensation for the non-transpor table material of war left behind her. by Austria. The latter item, perhaps,, may not be reasonably open to objection, and the Italians obtain at least a quid pro quo for their money. ' But it seems hard to make the "Venetians liable for money raised for the use of their oppres sors. However, the Italian government is wise not to insist too much upon details. The sum of eighty-seven millions, added to one hundred and sixty-three millions, the pro portion of the debt-proper of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom—apportioned to Venetia in 1859, and which as a matter of course now remains to the charge of the latter make up altogether two hundred and fifty millions, as the increase of national respon sibilities assumed by Italy on the annexa-. tion. This may safely be pronounced to be paying dirt cheap for such a prize as Venice and the completion of her nationality. It is impossible indeed to exaggerate the immense importance of an acquisition which puts Italy in complete command of the Adriatic. Already she is bidding for the preference in the Indian route against France, via Marseilles. Her railroads are now open uninterruptedly along the coast of the Adriatic as far as Brindisi (the an cient Brand nsi um of the Romans), situated in the very heel of the peninsula; thence to Alexandria powerful steamers.convey pas sengers for the East in about three days, with a large saving of time and sea-transit, and offering at the same time a journey of unexampled interest to the traveler. Xoth ing is wanting but the completion of the passage! either over or through Mont Cenis to make the communication direct and con tinuous between the north and the extreme Southern poinfoT Europe towards the East In connection with the restored peace of Italy it would be most unjust to allow to pass without mention the name of her great est hero and citizen. Garibaldi left Flo rence on the last day of September, in his ‘Usual simple fashion, on his return to Ca prera. His last official act was to establish a committee to take charge of wounded vol unteers. It is universally understood that he now retires for good into the tranquillity of private life. Public opinion, I hear, does lull justice to the dignity, sobriety and mo desty of his bearing during recent events; and he carries with him to his humble es tate the general respect and esteem of all his fellow-citizens. Few men indeed have ever earned a better right to have inscribed on their tombstone that they have deserved well of their country. The French Foreign Region has arrived in Rome and been blessed by the Pope. But hardly hadit marched ont of the Eternal City again, on its way to Viterbo, when discon tent is said to have broken out amongst the men because they were stinted in their al lowance of tea, coffee, tobacco and sugar, and not permitted to carry a tricolor flag. It appears that these mercenaries are by no means satisfied with the mere honor and glory of guarding the Holy Father, but re quire more substantial marks of the Papal benificence. The “Empress of Mexico” ( soi-disante ) has arrived in Rome and been received with “all the honors due to her rank.” That is, she has a guard of French soldiers stationed before her doors. The insurrection in Palermo has been completely put down. All the official re ports and other intelligence agree in repre senting it as having been brought about by a combination between the monks, and even, mirabile dictu the nuns, of the re ligious houses, and the brigands; this strange union being effected by the hatred entertained by the former against the bill for the suppression of convents and monasteries in Sicily. These institutions served everywhere as headquarters of the insurrection. We are still chiefly occupied here with the subject of the inundations and sub scriptions to the relief of the sufferers. The walls of Paris are placarded this morning with a stirring appeal from the Prefect to the inhabitants of the capital to follow the example set by the Emperor, Empress and Prince Imperial, and come to the aid of their fellow citizens. Subscriptions con tinue to flow in. Among those of thin morning is one .os' 50,000 francs from the Bank of France. The waters appear to be everywhere receding. =But the disas ter has been immense, in some parts of the country exceeding even that of 1856. The centre of France has suffered most se verely. In one Department, theLozere, more than 300 bridges are said to have been destroyed, whole villages carried away, the roads rendered impassable, and the miser able inhabitants cut off from communicating with or assisting each other. The returns for the week, just published by the Bank of France, differ materially from preceding ones. The discount depart ment exhibits an increase of nearly 251 millions; the circulations of notes has in creased 43 millions, and the metallic reserve diminished, for the first time, nearly 21 millions. ) The government has just announced a salutary and liberal measure. No charge will hereafter be made by Frenoh Consols upon nations to the vis£ of their passports; the same immunity will be extended to all foreigners whose governments reciprocate the advantage. The Kem-A Kg able and unprecedented success which has everywhere attended Messrs. Willcox & Gibbs, in the introduc tion of their now world-renowned Sewing Machines', and in spite of continued and unceasing persecution on the part of the whole fraternity of their com petitors, tells in the strongest possible lan guage of the superior and peculiar merits of their machines. Their sales, at first limited, have steadily and rapidly increased, until now they ave rage upwards of one hundred a day. The fact is, it is quite impossible to exa mine critically and impartially these ma chines, without being fully impressed with a sense of their superiority. A White Man Convicted in a Florida Court on Negro Testimony. —As a noted instance of the changed condition of affairs' in this section of country, we mention the. fact that a fall-blooded white man was ar raigned in the Criminal Court last Thursday, before his Honor Judge Doggett, on a charge of assault with intent to kill. He was tried by a jury of white men, and .convicted by negro testimony, and the Judge sentenced him in accordance with their verdict, to pay a fine of one thousand dollars.— Jacksonville (Flo.) Union. A number of sudden deaths have recently taken place at Annapolis, cansed by imprn- . dence in the use of raw oysters, which; the late rains in that section have rendered un wholesome. , At the instance of eminent physicians, the corporate authorities have forbidden the bringing or 'offering to sale of oysters until the Ist day of November next. OUR vnaoiiE oouwthy; Meeting of the Mississippi Legislature -■-Substance of Gov. Humphrey’s Message—Relations ofthe White and Black Population—The Governor’s Views Upon National Folitics-—He Calls the Constitutional Amendment an In sulting Outrage. Jackson, Miss., Tuesday, Oct 16.—The Mississippi Legislature met in extraordi nary session here yesterday, and after its organization Gov. Hhmphreys delivered his message. He says no special emergency, but a general exigency, restating from the altered condition of FederaUVelations and domestic affairs at the termination of the late civil war, which, in the nature of things, could not be fully provided for at the first session of the Legislature, demanded further consideration, and induced him to issue the reconvening call. He congratulates the State on the removal of the negro troops from its limits, and the transfer ofthe Freedmen’s Bureau to the control of officers of the regular army, and says the white race is thus relieved from the insults, irritations and spoliation to which they were so often subjected, and the black race from that demoralization' which ren dered them averse to habits of honest in dustry, and which was fast sinking them into habits of idleness, pauperism and crime. Both races are now settling down in business life, and cultivating those senti ments of mutual friendship and confidence so essential to the Drosperity and happiness of both. Beyond these congratulations thereto but little in the political horizon to cheer the patriot or excite the hopes of our citizens. That small cloud of fanaticism that rose in the East at first no larger than a man’s hand, and spread with such irresistible fury, overthrowing constitutional barriers and destroying the rights and propertv of a portion of the States of the Unionl still overshadows our land with all its porten tous blackness. Our Senators aad Repre sentatives to Congress are yet refused their seats. The Radical Congress has enacted laws and proposed amendments to the Con stitution whieh, if adopted, will destroy the rights of the States and of the peo ple. and centralize all the powers of the Government in the Federal head. Against these threatening powers of ruin the Presi dent has interposed the Executive power of i the Government and has thus diawn upon his devoted head all its fury and vengeance. The conservative patriotism of the North, and the brave soldiers who marched boldly up to the battle and fought fdr the Union, and who are now unwilling to lend them selves to the unholy work of trampling down the constitutional liberties of a people who succumbed to the mighty power of our common Government, are arrayed in sup port of his Administration in its efforts to restore the States to their constitutional rights in the Union. The result of this fierce struggle between the President and Congress time alone can reveal. In the ad justment of wbat they term plans of recon struction of the Union theSouthcan have no voice, and can only submit to the power that controto her. As the Chief Magistrate of the State, I have sedulously avoided all collision with Federal powers, and have yielded obedient acquiescence in every case of usurpation and wrong inflicted upon our citizens by Fede ral authority. Our people are wearied of war, its desolation and its vandalism; they have returned to their allegiance to the Constitu tion of the United States. They now seek for place, its quiet and security, by submis sion to its power. They have nobly met and heroically performed their duties and re sponsibilities, and, proudly conscious of rec titude, they transmit to posterity and histo ry the record of the past without a blush of contrition or dishonor. Though our voice cannot be heard nor. our rights respected in the adjustment of our federal relations, many questions pre sent themselves for our consideration and action as citizens of the State, that may affect our condition as citizens in the Union. Prominent among them is the amendment proposed by Congress as No. 14, which, at the request of the honorable Secretary of State,William H. Seward, I herewith report for your action. This amendment adopted by a Congress of less than three-fourths!of the States of the Union, in palpable viola tion of the rights of more than one-fourth of the States, is such an insulting outrage and denial of the equal rights of so many! of our worthiest citizens, who have shed lustre and. gloryjipon our section and our,race, both m the forum and in the field; such a gross usurpation oft he rights of the State, and such a centralization of power in the Federal Government, that I presume a mere reading of it will cause its rejection by you. The Civil Rights bill, passed by Congress at its recent session, conflicts directly, with many of our State laws passed in pursuance • of the amendment of the State Constitution, emancipating all the slaves in the State,and requiring thelegislature to guard them and the State from the evils that may arise from their sudden change, and has also been a fruitful source of disturbance. Immediately after your adjournment in December,- 1865, I appointed Hon.Wm.Yeager, of Hinds co.. Commissioners,to visit Washington city and lay these laws before the President,- and to request him to indicate which of ; them the mllilary authority in the State wonld be allowed to nullify. The President, in his reply, gave them foil assurance that none of them shootd De nnllided ex cept by the civil conrts of the land. No violent col lision has yet occurred between the Btate and Federal authorities, :and I fear none so long as the District of Mississippi is nnder the administration of the present distinguished military commander, who has, in the settlement of the many delicate questions that have arisen, shown so lust a sentiment toward our State and people thus tar. All questions that conld not be otherwise adjusted have been submitted to the judicial tribunals of the country, and are now undergoing legal Investigation While the Civil Blghts.'bill cannot be received as a rule for your guidance, the Interests of the white race will be subserved by the relaxation of the rigidity of our laws, which, in order to guard society against threatening evils, was rendered neces sary. Public justice to both races demands the admis sion of negro testimony in all cases tiroueht before the civil and criminal conrts. Now that the negro has shown a confiding and friendly disposition toward the white race, as da desire to engage In the pursuits of honest labor, jnstlce and honor demand of us fhll pro, tection to his person anu property, real and Personal- Firearms are not essential to his protection ofpronerty or his happsness, and society Bhonld be guarded by re quiring him to procure a license to carry thfen—a pri vilege he can always secure, where his oharacter for gooa conduct and honesty is known. The rest of the message of Gov. Humphrey is con fined to local affairs solely, and has no political signifi cance. In recommending an appropriation of twenty per cent, of the entire revenue of the State for the pur pose of supporting familial of deceased, and purchas ing artificial limbs for disabled Confederate soldiers, the Governor says: “It is a sacred duty which the State owes to the brave heroes whose lives have been lost in defence of our lost cause.” In acknowledging a dona ttya Of *lB, m ftqa aiaryliQdi he nefyle NATIONAL POLITICS. feltlbf of the tender sympathy snry”o» aS?SS!S>. onr ? a ,'i ant dead and their brave came fo?whtch theS^J?n B J^ U>nt^ to S e J aaticB of M»e patrioticladlesofMS e to“”-o^ e A’f^ THE EVENIKG STAR CALAMITY.

Monday, Oeto ber I—At eight o’clock this morning sighted Cape Hatteras, bearing northwest! we then steered south in order to cross the Gulf Strgam; having made a bit eastward of the stream, made our course southwest by south, Tnesdav Oc tober 2—Still kept southwest by south till about two o’clock, when the gale com menced, then altered onr course to south southwest, the gale blowing from east north east; owing to the cloudy state of the wea ther no observations could be token of a re liable character, but we were supposed to be one hundred and eighty miles eastward of Savannah, and about two hundred and forty miles from Mantmiila. Xo informa tion of the course of the vessel from this tune to its disappearance could be obtained, either from the purser or the third officer. As several false statements h ave j-een pretty widely circulated as to the nnlea worthmess of the Evening Star, it to'but fair to the owners that the public should be reminded that at the time of her founder ing she was but three years old,and she had but just recently left the dock, where shea had undergone a thorough course of over hauling and repairing. The assertion that the vessel had on board but four lifebelts to also thoroughly false, the fact being that every berth was furnished with one of these necessary provisions, the only reason to be assigned for the non-use of them being the excitement and despair occasioned by the nevel and awful position in which the doomed passengers found themselves placed. One other misstatement correction; the number of lifeboats carried by the Evening Star was six, and not four, as has been stated by so many ofthe dailv papers. i&SSK 10f * e „ _ _ _ cants passksoebs.

This is Monday, and the Emperor has not been.onfr since Fridas\morning. 1 saw nim then, and thought; that he walked as though exceedingly - fatigued. The exertion and excitement of last Wed nesday, when he vlsitea the beet, were too mu<3i for him in his enfeebled pandition, and it is probable than he is now paying the penalty for them. This morning the weather is fine, and ITthe Emperor does notmake his appearance to-daypeople will reel alarmed. He will come oat if it is possible: for he is very desirous of avoiding givinggroundfor any Gar or speculation about his health.

I have received from a distinguished medical: man a diagnosis ot the Emperor’s disease, and an explaoa lion of his recent attacks. The Emperor has. been more or less an invalid ever since he became ruler of Fiance. -In his youth he was a generous liver, and now in advancing age his liver instead ol being gene, rous tO'him, demands payment and atonement for many a sin committed against it. He has also had symptoms of gravel, and mr several years past in the Interest of his liver and kidneys his Majesty has spent a tewweeksat Vichy,the watersofwhlchnave here tofore had an exceedingly beneficial effect upon his entire system. ‘Jhls year, however, he went there suffering under the sting of mental trouble, disap pointed at the result of the summer’s war, and con scious of tbe fast that he had been out geaerated by ' BJsmarck, and that he had tacitly aided in b&Udmg up In Europe a power, which was in a fair way of ere long being able to at least dispute with France the so premacyln Europe. ■ Tbe result of his mental and badily condition was. that the waters, instead ofbeing serviceable to him ' were of positive injury. Their first effect was to de velop hemorrhoids and these in turn brought back an old urethral difficulty of the Emperor’s, which, caused an entire suppression lor twenty-four houas. and then for . some days, His Majesty was only lleved by the employment of an instrument.'
