Not only did be refuse to shorten his visit one hour, but he wotild ..not change his habits, or adopt any of the precau tions which his friends urged upon hini.'";The Czar, like Most persona who are doomed to be pestered with ceremony all their lives,. delighti in nothing -so much 'as en opportunity to. get rid,. of :state, Some of his habits since he has' been In Paris are very remark able, and remain quite unknown - :•:to' the ;world in 'general. Some traits were related'o ine by a meinber• of the Russian Embassy, elOsely attached. to Ills person. For instance, every day the Czar has been in Paris he rises very early, and by 6 o'clock gets on horseback at the private kate.of the Elysee, and rides through all parts of the capital and neighborhood,' making himself thoroughly acquainted with them and with the aspect of the workingpopulation at that hour: It is so usual in Paris for gentlemen and even ,ladies to ride:very early at this season 'of the year, that the Czar; is never noticed, and passes by many a grt;up 'who little guess who is oh ,erving them. On the Wednesday before the at tempt made to shoot him, the Emperor told. Baron Bedbug,' his Ambasiador,- that he had so often heard of the•Cafe , Anglais that .he was determined to dine there incag, and desired him. to :arrange the party. The Baron did so and strict orders were given that not the slightest recognition should be rmide by We master, of the , cafe, or any Glue let into the secret. "After the at tempt took place;. the -Ambassador tried to per evade the Czar not to zo, But he would nothear of giving up his "lark." On the contrary, he was in the greatest spirits, and not only dined in one of the littiv, cabitt,ta particulirpf the café, bat the cook there "being a well-known character, the Emperor had him . up ,after .dinner ' and amused himself with cross-examining him in. his •'Ait;" after which, he gratified him bylettiug him • or whomhe liad - tikiked the dinner. -In fact, both the . Czar and his Sons came to Paris fully disposed to amuac themselves like tow en fants, and even after what has happened, it is -said . that the Grand Duke Vladimir is so en chanted with the place, that, comae taut le monde, and quite d /a A utericaine, he can't bear to :leave it! . • " JAMES S.

The two most magnificent festivities of the period orthe visit of the Sovereigns have been the ball on Saturday at the Hotel de Ville arid that last night at the Tuileries. At the former about 8,000 invitations were issued, and some 30,000 requests for tickets refused. As the Prefect' said politely In. excuse: he •:conldn't ask everybody!' The scene was even more wonderful than when the Queen of England and her husband- were here in - 1e35, and when the cost of decorationfor flowers alone was over 60,000 francs. • These feeswill be repeated for the Sultan, and for the Shah of Persia, if he comes, though his advent • has been spoken of somewhat less confidently of late. Last evening the whole sky of Paris was red with the illumination of the Reserved Garden of the Tuileries, in which 50,00(1 jets of gas, costing it is reckoned, 40,000 francs ; joined with two elec tric fights, and Bengal fires innumerable, turned night into day, until the early summer sun rose agniu to eclipse his artificial ritals. There was a grand dinner • aid ball at the Palace; and the grounds were thus lighted •up in order that the company might descend into them from the, heated salons and enjoy the delicious tem perature of the external atmosphere. The party was comparatively select, • 'Tor not more than one thousand invitations were issued. It was remarked; hotkeverd that the carriages which conveyed.the Emperor of 'Russia And the King of Prussia to the entertainment Were both closely surrounded -by guards. As I re marked before, the week which has passed will , probably be the climax of the season. The most important guests are already' on the wing.

I have some good reasons to the contrary, and ordering me to report success and such reasons for his information, and also stating - that in his judgment' this extension is necessary 'to full and fair registration; and that the time should be thus eitended because other district commanders will not get through before that time. f My reasons tor closing: registration in this city 'were because I had given the city two and a half. months, and there were no more to register. havu.given . the State two and a half months find registration will be exhausted by that time.

It is proper, therefore, I should inform you that the appropriation of $500,000 to execute the Reconstruction acts is altogether inadequate. I am informed that my estimatbs for April and May arc less than those of other District com manders. Indeed the whole sum was more than - absorbed by the 'estimates. for- May:. For the Carolinas ai least $.500,000 will be, required. I have applied to the•Ntivy and Treasury De partments for certain •facilities, which, in view of the small apprOpriation, I presumed would..be gr . :t i nted, but my requests have not been favorably considered. I, understand that the Secretary of the Navy assigned as his reason that no aid must be. expected from that 'department in the execution of the Reconstruction acts of Con-% grefs. The Secretary of the Treasury expressed his desire to•do all he could, but did not feel at, liberty to make any disbursements for objects not precisely within the jurisdic tion of his department. It is usual ; I believe, when the appropriation for an object authorized by Congress Is insufficient, to • .make the necessary expenditures and trust to a "deficiency bill," but in the executionof these acts this course will be impracticable, inasmuch as the principal disbursements are for the services of per sons who depend upon their pay for support. I li4'ke the honor to suggeSt for your consideratiQu, and of your colleagues as well, that the interests of the public 'service. require without, delay a fur ther appropriation to execute the acts of Con gress for the government of the'rebel States.

The alarm was given at half-past 6 o'clock last evening, at which time smoke was seen issuing from building No. 13 Lake street, a small wooden structure occupied as a shoe store. In a few minutes more the flames burst forth and spread rapidly from one building to another, and every moment acquiring greater intensity. The Fire Department turned out:with alacrity, and as soon, as thnEfteamers could possibly, reach the scene of the confla,,crration, the Work of extinguishment was begun. Much difficulty, however, was encountered owing to the scarcity of water. Had the supply of, water been equal td" the demand, probably the destruction• of property would not have been more than half as great as it was. From the original starting-point the flames -moved westward on Lake street to the corner of Clinton, and then south to the alley running be tween Lake and Randolph. In the centre of the block was a planing- mill, where a considerable quantity of lumber was stored. This was very quickly ignited, and added materially to the in tensity of the lire.

We still lack details of the surnlier as wen an of subsequent events. Dining thrbeginning of May Maximilian 's forces made several attempts te eut their way out of- the ay throng& the besieging - forces - under-Escobedol- but_alihnugh severe losses every time on the Liberals, they bad always to retreat again nud sbutthemselves up of short provisions, and short ammunition too, so that finally, on the morning of the I.sth. after the I.iberals bad stormed the cominanding position of the Cerro de la Cruz, they surrendered at discre tion. Maximilian, bliramon, Mejia, Mendez, Cas tillo and others are all prisoners—what will be their fate is not known. As yet, however, Men dez will not get off, as it was he who-lad Ortega and Salazar shot In Michoacan after they had sur rendered. Marquez still held the City of Mexico on the 2:3d ult., but forces were already advancing from Queretaro to assist Porfirio Diaz to put en end to the struggle, and no 'doubt the finale of the five years' drama has by this' time been played; the conservative or reactionary party have this time received such a defeat, and all their p.rincipal leaders cut off, that it will be a long time before they can raise their heads again. good many of the old "Camerille have already emigrated with Bazaine, so that the Liberals will have it all their own way, and we shall see how soon they will commence fighting over the spoils. touched hereSaranac and the Mohican have touched here on their way to San Francisco; the former left to-day and the latter will leaie after the arri val of the steamer from Panama. inclose a copy of a letter from Queretaro,and an official despatch about the fall of that city: Juxh: 1867.--1 have just received a letter from Colima, in which they say that Generals Mendez and Quiroya fell in the last fight at Que retaro. The place was finally taken through the treachery of 400 Frenchmen who held the fort of Cerro de la Cruz, and who, at two o'clock on the morning of the 15th, went over to Carona, re ceiving aspay one doubloon per head—in all 400 ri ozas—and then went with Corona as guides to the different positions. Maximilian, thus sur prised, went from fort to fort, and finally sur rendered to Corona personally, who at once con ducted him to Eseobetio as commander-in-chief. The news was telegraphed to Juarez at San Luis, a t o. ' 0 • • cide the fate of the prisoners, and just now I have been shown a letter from Colima, dated the 26th, one day later than mine, giving the, news that Maximilian poisoned himself, and • that eight generals, together 'with three hundred officers, were shot. Although this lacks confirmation, it is quite likely to be true, as the general dispoei was_to_execute them all. • 'TEXAS. • A Disloyal Mayor. Refused to be Item moved—The Bebol Confiscations. GALvEsrox, Texas, June 22.—The opinion of ;Attorney-General Stan berry is already bringing. `forth evil fruit. The spirit of revolt is strength-. ening. Mayor Hailland, who was removed by Gen. Grflin; for rebel proclivities, refuses to re cognize military authority. The unearthing of an immense vilialm has begun here. During the war the rebel legislature. ordered a sweeping. and complete confiscation of all property, real and personal, held by loyal men. The act was enforced with remorseless vigor; property valued at more than sixty mil lions was seized and sold; Judge Devine, just pardoned by President Johnson, decreed more. than three. thousand sales. The rebel records are . imperfect and blind, and do not show the navies of the purchasers. Immense sums were abstracted by the Receivers. The confiscations of Cromwell in Ireland do not equal this in extent and cruelty. Gen. Griffin is urged to'prohe this huge spoliation to the bottom. FROM !NEW YORK.
