EUROPEAN AFFAIRS. [Correspondence of the Phila. Evening Bulletin.] PARTE, Tuesday, October 30th, 1866.—1 mentioned in a recent letter that'the reor ganization of the army would be one of the first objects which would occupy the atten tion of the government, on the resumption of business after the summer holidays. The, Moniteur of this morning corroborates what I then said, by announcing the formation of a Commission under the Emperor him self; for the carrying out of this important project. The "gravity of recent events in Germany," is broadly alleged as the reason: which necessitates a change in the military organization of the Empire; and the object of said change is, with equal frankness, stated to be the " defence of our territory and the maintenance of our political influ ence." The expressions used seem to imply that the boundaries of the empire are con sidered as insecure, as well as to admit that its political influence in Europe has been impaired. But it is not only as regards her army and her needle-guns that the rmperor Na poleon condescends to take a leaf out of the book of Prussia. Re has cast an envious eye upon certain parts of the financial sys tem of her Executive. And this leads me to speak of certain rumors about a loan and ministerial changes, which have doubtless ere this reached you, and concerning which I have recently received some confidential, and, I think, authentic information, which is not without interest. Although the imperial government has reason to be satisfied with the general prosperity of the country, exceptional cir cumstances have, nevertheless, arisen which have caused it to look ahead and en- quire whatluar_it_vight not shortly_be in want of more money Mann can cortunand by the regular channels. Amongst sack` circumstances the distress at Lyons, thO inundation and the scanty harvest stand most prominent. The first mentioned case of disquiet has been little noticed, chiefly because strict orders were sent round to all the newspapers, and especially to those of Paris, not to speak of it. The distress itself was occasioned by the sudden change of fashion which led to the complete abandonment of embroidered in favor of plain silks for ladies' dresses, and the con sequent throwing out of work of vast num bers of silk hand-looms. The workmen so situated, with true French instinct, instead of endeavoring to help themselves, imme diately prepared to frighten the government into helping them. They got ready a threat ening demonstration composed of many thousands of people. As there was no say ing to what consequences such a manifesta tion might lead in a country like France vigorous measures were at once taken. The whole army of Lyons was con Signed to. barracks, and orders were is sued to the military authorities to act with the utmost energy and decision, in case of need. Meanwhile, the Prefect of Lyons tried conciliatory measures also, and offered to receive delegates from the work. : men. I will state presently the result of, this step.. Such circumstances as the above, however, made the government desirous of having funds at its command, and the pro ject of a "peace loan" was revived. This was favored by the, presence, accidental or designed, at Biarritz, at 'the same moment, of Baron Efautornann, the Prefect of Paris of M. Perein,_ of the Credit Mobilier; M. Bibie, Minister- of Public Works, and of. General Fleury, all great advocates of the "extension of credit" system, and of bor rowing and spending as much money as possible. This coterie, with the Empe ror at its head, concocted a scheme' I understand, at Biarritz, for a loan of a milliard of francs. Five, hundred millions of this sum was to be devoted to the distress at Lyons. With five hundred millions an immense impulse can be given to public works throughout the entire country, and especially in the districts ravaged by the inundations. The remaining five hundred millions were to constitute an "imperial re serve fund," to meet future "eventualities," ala mode de Bismark and the King of Prussia. This precious scheme, which I am assured, was fully discussed and agreed on at Biarritz, required the assent of only one other person to be carried into execution. But;that person was one of im portance, being none other than M. Fonld, the Minister of Finance. So extremely doubtful, however, was his acquiescenoe, that projects for a remodeling of the cabinet were even debated, in case of M. Fould's retiring, and in that event it was proposed that Baron Haussreann should become Minister of. Public Works, M. Bihie, of Fi nance, and General Fleury,Minister of War —the latter appointment having been long a pet •project with the Emperor, altho' he knows it to be distasteful to, the country and even dangerously repugnant to the army. Well, to shorten my story, the Court returns to Paris, councils are held at St. Cloud, and, the loan scheme is broached to M. Fould. It, need hardly be said that a proposal to throw the money tuarket into confusion, and 'the "country, and perhapa Europe, Statesman• SPECIAL NOTICES.

Ac cordingly, at a recent council held at St, Cloud, the loan was finally abandoned. But the sketch I have given of the transaction, derived from private, and I think from authen tic sources, is curious 'as demonstrat ing at once the secret uneasiness, wrigglings and strange underhand plannings and plot tings which are always going on about one thing or another, in the privaoles of the im perial court and cabinet. There is but room left to add that the Em peror, finding that no part of the proposed milliard was forthcoming for such purpose, has ordered his Minister of the Interior to inform the workmen of Lyons that he will give 300,000 f. out of the civil list, and that the Empress will provide as much more out o the funds of the Society of ,the Prince Im perial, to enable them to set up co-operative associations to carry on silk-weaving on their own account.. Tfic BATSMAN TEOI7PE.—The Bateman Concert last night was even a greater suc cess than that of Tuesday night. The Aca demy was literally packed with a brilliant and most enthusiastic audience. Mme. Parepa, Brignoll, Ferranti and Fortuna all evidently felt the inspiration of the occasion and sang with more than usual effect, and Mr. Mills and Mr. Rosa excelled them selves in the exquisite style of their per. formance. Mine. Parepa was heartily en cored, and her "Comm' through the Rye," especially brought down the delighted house with prolonged applause. Mr. Bateman has certainly established a permanent popular ity for his excellent troupe in Philadelphia, and will hereafter be sure of the warmest welcome at all times. The visit of Governor Geary added to the furore of the occasion. The distinguished visitor was escorted to the Director's box by Mr. J. Gillingham Fell, President of the Union League, Mr. Sparing, President-elect of Select Council, Mr. James A. Freeman, and Mr. John B. Budd. The latter gentle man introduced the. Governor to the an dience, who paid their respects to our new Executive by rising and giving him three hearty cheers. Facts and Fancies.

The Springfield Repub /fess warns its read ers against certain stupendcrss meteoric sells in preparation, such as sending up a bull's eye huatern, attached to a huge kite, from Hampden Park. And who will deny that such an arrangement would be - an airy light? A Southern writer remarks of General Beauregard that his European tour has ma terially improved his personal appearance. His hair, which was rapidly becoming as "gray as a badger," has changed to a beau tiful black color during his absence. Possi bly that gascon gentleman has found his long•sought "last ditch" and has been dye ing there.

In all bilious disorders, these Pills may be used with confidence, as they promote the discharge of vitiated bile, and remove thoseobstructions from the liver and binary ducts which are the cause of bilious affec tions in general.

Twelve Thousand Meteors Seen with The New York Herald has the following Cable despatch: GREENWICH OBSERVATORY, ENGLAND, Nov. 14-6 A. M.—The expected meteoric showers were observed last night. At nine o'clock a few meteors fell; at eleven o'clock they had increased in number and size, and betw ma xim um two o'clock this morning the was reached. The night was clear and the stars were out in great numbers. The whole heavens were bril liantly illuminated. The showers of meteors were of great beauty and brilliancy, end radiated from the constellation Leo, near the star Gamma Leonia. Their direction was mostly from the east to the west. The paths of the me teors were from three to four degrees in the north. Near Ursa Major twenty or thirty were observed at one time, and crossing the zenith fifty or sixty more of unusual size and duration, the majority being larger than stars of the first magnitude. Several exoded from the vicinity of Jupiter; one, of immense dimensions, was colored red, blue, green, orange and amber. Nearly all had trails of fire. Of two flaming front Leo at the same time, one crossed Beta Geminorum and the other Mars. Two more, one red and the other of an oriental sapphire color, crossed Alpha Orionis. Some of the meteors burst forth in splen dor ; one, breaking behind the rising clouds flashed like sheet lightning, and another of emerald hue burst near Eta Leonia at fifteen minutes after two o'clock A. M., its trail of flame being visible for a minute and a half, and then faded away in brilliant nebul a; . At three A. M. they commenced to dimi nish gradually, until, at the present moment, they are all, meteors and stars, fading away in the morning light.

The San Francisco Bulletin , of October 17th, gives the following details concerning the progress of the Russian-American Tele graph enterprise; The Western Union Tele graph Com pany's bark Olara Bell has ar rived from Ghijiga Bay, at the head of the Okhotsk sea. Her outward voyage was performed by way of Petropolovski, where she found orders to proceed to Ghijiga,wtdch bad been selected as the base of operations on the coast of the Okhotsk sea. The com pany's ateatninTOciaterft - Wright, carrying Colonel Bulkley, the Engineer-in-Chief, ar rived at Petropolovski on the 24th of July, and sailed on the 6th of August for Anadyr bay and Norton sound. The Russian cor vette Verlag, seventeen guns, which had been assigned to the service of the Telegraph Company, was at Petropolovski on the ar rival of the Wright, and her captain at once reported to Colonel Balkley for orders. The Verlag sailed on the 6th of August for the month Of the Amoor by way , of Ghijiga and Okhotsk, having on board Count P. Anossoff Russian Commissioner, to the Telegisph Company,and Thomas W. Knox, AmeriCan journalist with the expedition, who proceeds overland from Nikolaeffak to St. Petersburg. The Verlag reached Ghi jiga on the isth of August, and sailed four days later for Okhotsk. Major S. Abase, Chief of the Asiatic Divi sion of the Russo-American Telegraph, has established his headquarters at Ghijiga. During the past winter he explored in per son the route between Ghijiga and Okhotsk, and determined the position of the lines for that distance. Capt. Mahood explored the route from the mouth of the Amoor to Okhotsk, and joined Major Abasa at the latter point. At the same time Capt. Ken non made a survey from Ghijiga to the Anadyr Bay, and located the route of the telegraph. Thus the whole distance from Behring Sea to the terminus of the line at the mouth of the Amcor has been explored and the route selected. In the region around Ghijiga working parties are busy in the preliminary wore - , and will have a considerable quantity of poles ready by the end of Summer. From Ghijiga to Okhotsk and the month of the Amoor the line mostly follows the valleys behind the coast range of mountains, but in some places follows the shores of the Okhotsk Sea. Timber is abundant on the most of the route, except in some phicea where mountain ranges are crossed and in the region immediately around Ghijiga, where poles must be cut on the Ghijiga River and rafted as near as possible to the places where they will be used. Along the whole .route, wherever laborers could be procured, they have been engaged in the work begun. The natives throughout the whole region have shown themselves entirely friendly , . Captain Macrae and St. Arnold traveled two months among the Tehuenties, and were kindly treated during the whole time. Major Abase and Captain Kennon traveled among the Koraks on their route from Petropolovski to Ghijiga, and found them well disposed. The Koraks have offered to be ready with their dog teams to assist in transporting material whenever desired, and have contracted to supply any amount of reindeir meat for provisions. Major Abase has purchased dog teams in Kam schatka and among the Koraks, and estab lished fisheries for the preparation of a large supply of dog food. The Ghwernment officials have been prompt in affording every assistance to Major Abase ;. - .nd his subordinates, without waiting directions from St. Petersburg. Count Anossoff has issued orders to all the officialsito render any desired •service that may assist the completion of the line. As soon as the necessary material is received and distributed, the work will be pushed with great rapidity.

A SERIOUS CRISIS. The Alliance of the Czar with Prussia and "young Germany"—French Views of the Diplomacy and French Anxiety for the Remit—important Action Towards Poland, and the Last. [From the Paris La Presse, Nov. 11 The alliance between Russia and Prussia is now an accomplished fact. It is not now a question of the continual interchange of good offices which was revealed to indig nant Europe, in 1863 by the Extradition Convention of Posen of that permanent complicity which led the .Nord to speak of Prussia as the traditional ally of Russia; it is a question of binding engagements en tered into with reference to a special object and in anticipation of events already deter mined upon._ * * If Russia, in the execution of her plans_ in the East, should meet with any other obstacle than the Turks, Prussia will range herself on her side. If any foreign intervention should thwart the work of assimilation which Prussia is accomplishing in Northern Ger many, or the already prepared absorption of the minor States south of the Main, Prus sia can rely upon the armed co-operation of Russia. * f, ' l ' The two countries haves common task to accomplish —the destruction of the. Polsh nationality. It was Prussia which conceived the idea of the dismemberment of Poland, which pre pared its execution, which precipitaW its accomplishment, and which has assn dl had a lion's share of the spoils. Tinit#l by /their complicity in this crime, Pruasiand I\ xin Russia are now laboring with common al to efface the last traces of the Polish n e. While the Cabinet of St. Petersburg omits nothing in order to Russianize one portion of the Polish provinces, the Cabinet of Berlin is engaged in German izing others. It has compelled them despite all previous engagements, to enter into the North German Confederation, in order to destroy the last vestige of their national existence. The sole obstacle to the entire accomplishment of the design is the strip of Poland which has preserved its lan .guage, its religion and its customs under the rule of Austria. 4 * * . It is not only in the accomplishment of their common ob jeat that Prussia and Russia find Austria in their path,but also in the pursuit of their ambitious designs. Who could defend t a h ga Dan t ußbue?s saW th h e o V c a o l u ley o ffrd M t o h ut m o st speedy and effectual aid to the Sultan,if not Austria.Whocould,by its comasels,by 'Ulla finance, by its support, preserve the States of South Germany from absorption? Who is the nece„-Rary (ally of Saxonia? Who retains possession of Bohemia so ardently coveted, if not Austria? Let Austria dis appear or be abased, and Prussia and Rus sia will have removed the chief obstacle to the accomplishment of their designs. Will these designs ever coaflioc with each other? What interest has Prussia In the Black Sea or at Constantinople? Has Russia any greater interest in opposing obstacles to the designs of Prussia in Germany? She sought by matrimonial alliances and by the hidden workings of indefatigable diplomacy to create for herself an influence over the petty courts of Germany. What advantage has she ever gained ny it? Did that influence, backed by all the efforts of Prussia, suc ceed in inducing Germany -to take part with the Czar in the Crimean war? World it not snit her better that all Germany should be in the grasp of Prussia, as then, to avail herself of its power, she would only have to arrange with the Cabinet of Berlin? Thus, then, nothing exists to divide Russia and Prussia; everything tends to unite them. "Backing each other," writes a Russian statesman lately, "Russia and Prussia may defy the rest of Europe." We believe that Russia and Prussia are now backing each other. * * e Russia is making preparations at Nikolaief which are not very consistent with the spirit of the letter of the Treaty of Paris. Her journals are daily demanding the restitution of the lost bank of the Danube. Her official agents stand aloof at Bucharest, and protest by theirabstention against theconcessionsof the Porte. Finally, Russia is accumulating very considerable forces upon the Austrian fron tiers. Austria discovers every instant in Bohemia, in Moravia. in Silesia, the hand of Prussian agents. The Prussian functionaries in their relations with the Austrian authorities,•dis play systematic arrogance and hauteur. Finally, the personage to whom Prussia has confided the principal authority in Saxony during the occupation has told the Saxons as a fare Well that before five months have elapsed he will be re-instated at Dres den, not again to withdraw from it. It has appeared to us profitable to point out these facts. Before seeking to obtain the facts which their union promises to them they are now endeavoring to complete their alliance. They wished to ascertain whether the al liance between Prussia and Italy could not endure after the war terminated. They do not despair that the prospect of a protecto rate over Egypt may render England indif ferent to the fate of Constantinople. The London Times, in one of those arti cles, the -unexpected appearance of which always marks an evolution in the govern ment policy, or a change in the views of the directing classes, has made light of the fate of Constantinople and of the Ottoman Em pire altogether, while, on the contrary, at taching to the destinies of Egypt an im portance sufficiently great to warrant the sacrifice of the last shilling, and of the last soldier of England. How far will this . new programme - obtain the assent of public opinion in England ? What chance has it of being accepted and approved by the Cabinetof London? We do not pretend to know. We do know th6t Europe is passing through a crisis, and that the peace at Niko,sburg was only the termination of its first period. A IiIISEREENTS.

Anxiety hi Europe About His Differenca with Coq ress---Significant Let ter from a Member of the Cabi net--Mr. Johnson will Obey All Absolute Laws---No Probability of a Con flict in Any Case. !Correspondence Of the N. Y. ranee.] WASH:II%I'ON, Wednesday, Nov.l4.—The following is a portion of a communication today addressed by a member of the Cabi net to a friend of the Administration in New England, who seemed to, be apprehen sive that the difficulties betimen the PresiT dent and Congress might induce action on the part of the former which would tend to widen the breach, if it did not put impor tant interests in peril. The member of the Cabinet says: Notwithstanding his long public career, few men seem to be less understood than President Johnson. That he is a man of strong convictions and earnest purposes is evident- from the manner in which he advocated andpushed forward 'impor tant measures in Congress, like the Homestead Bill, and the stand which he took against secession and in. fa, vor of the Government during the late civil war. He believes that the manner in which he proposed that the Govern went should deal with the Southern States was not only a magnanimous - one, but the only one likely to result in a speedy and hearty reconciliation between the sections, and he has felt it to be his duty to sustain his views by the exercise of such powers as the Constitution had clothed him with. Bat while this has been, and, doubtless will continue to be his course, he will violate no law, nor fail to perform the duties which are legally devolved upon him. He will veto every bill that be' may regard unconstitutional, no matter how unpopular it may be for him to do so,. but he will execute.with scrupulous fidelity all laws, and especially :those to which he has declined to give his Executive sanc tion. The apprehension which you seem to feel, and which many others, share with you, that Mr. Johnson will attempt to force Southern Representatives into Congress, or do any other imprudent thing by which the public peace will be.disturbed, or the public credit be deranged, is utterly unfounded. While he will exercise fearlessly the power which he possesses under the Con stitution, in furtherance of the measures which he thinirst are the best calculated to promote the public weal, he will not quarrel with Congress for pursuing the same independent course. He regrets the disagreement between the Legislative and. Executive branches of the Government, and would, I doubt not, yield much to effect a reconciliation. He will not, however, semi, fica his principles nor violate the Constitu tion, according to his interpretation of it, no matter what pressure may be brought to bear upon him. He means to do right as he understands the right, and will trust to time for the vindication of his course. He will be as true to the Constitution and the Government as President of the Unites States as he was true and steadfast to the Union in the darkest days of its trials. The Case of Rev.lllr.Williains, the Allege& Pickpocket. [From the Petersburg Index, Nov 18.3 This gentleman arrived here on Sunday merriing and is stopping-with his friends In this Co u rt examination before the Jus tice's came off in New York on Saturday, and the evidence elicited was about that previously published,except that Miss Irwin, the principal witness for the prcsecution, contradicted her previous testi mony before the Police Court in several points. The whole evidence for the prose cution was heard, but Gen. Roger A. Pryor, counsel for the accused, did not think proper to bring forward the basis on which the defence rested, ner to apply for bail. On motion of the State's Attorney,- however, the prisoner was released upon giving bond in the sum of $l,OOO to appear for final trial on Wednesday, the 21st inst. . We are informed that great interest has been expressed in the case at New York, and that great kindness has been shown Mr. Williams by a large class of 'persons,. convinced, as all who know him here are, of his utter innocence of fault in this matter. Bishop Johns, who happened to be in the city, has expressed his willingness to testify to the high religious character of the victim of a chain of unfortunate circumstances,and has said that he could rely with no more implicit confidence upon the probity of any clergyman in his diocese. A letter has also been received from the vestry of Mr. Wil liams's church, in Suffolk, written without solicitation, stating the implicit confidence of the congregation of the innocence of their pastor. The accused gentleman's statement wilt be of interest to the many friends he has in this vicinity. He says that, entering an omnibus as he was going on a call to Bishop Potter, he took a seat, without choice, for there were three persons already upon each side, next to Mrs. Morse, the lady whose' pocket-book was taken. Shortly after taking his seat he noticed the perte-monnaie lying between himself and Mrs. Morse, who sat on his left, and carrying over his right hand he took the pocket-book, thinking that some person previously occupying his seat had dropped it, and intending to advertise in the morn ing papers for the owner. Upon leaving the omnibus he was seized upon complaint of Mrs. Irvin and at once arrested. He got out, as was proved, at' the point most convenient to the residence of Bishop Potter, and though involuntarily recoiling from the rough handling of the man ,who first seized him, almost instantly upon un— derstanding that the , owner of the, book -was present, gave it up and - made exactly the same explanations here given. All of the circumstances point strongly to the supposition that the guilty party was some person who - had Preceded Mr. Wit llama in his seat near the lady „robbed. Her pocket had.: been cut, professionally, with evidently a very sharp instrument, And , a dozen photographic cards -were:, missing as well as the -unfortunate pocket-hock, •Yet the search to which Mr. PfilAiams'a-persom was subjected showed - that he had about him no instrument abarli - enough t 4 4*__N u, r 1 cut - the drew, and theAnda - Werunta t i b uu ; either upon his penion; - .Or us.
