EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
LETTER FROM PARIS.
[Correspondence of the Phliadeinhta Evening DalWin.]
Pants, Friday, Nov. let, 1867.-1 had oxpeeted
to have announced to you this morning the final
closing of the Exhibition ; and, as you will re
member, it is only some two or three days since
the Imperial Commission itself reiterated , in• the
most absolute terms the announcement that its
gates would infalliblyhe `shut on the evening of
the 81st ult. But the Commission, like other
managers, is fully aware of the value of
"last days" and "last appearances ;" and , as
the weather has proved exceptionably fine of
late, and the curiosity of the public was
evidently stimulated afresh by the near prospect
of the closing day, the Commission wisely kept
its own secret, until a few last "bumper houses"
bad been realized. The cr•wd, indeed, or the
last three days has been prodigious; and yester
day, especially, every one who hag yet returned
to Paris seemed to be bent upon taking a last
look and bidding, a' last farewell •to a scene
which, with all its drawbacks, has certainly been
a memorable event in the annals of humanity.
The numbers present could scarcely have been
less than 70,000 or 80,000, and every one
came prepared to say good bye forever
to the great Universal Exhibition of 1867.
But Jo! just as daylight was on the turn, and
the Commission might feel assured of having
netted its last draught of fishes, and there was
no longer any fear of arresting the influx of
visitors which had streamed all day long from
the city to the Champ de Mars, a 'notice was
potted up of three days' reprieve having been
granted. And this morning, accordingly, the
Jim/lour publishes an imperial decree- to the
effect that, "after a consultation held by the
Commission, on the 30th nit." (just miff the thing
hadn't been decided • on long ago!),
It was determined that the Exhibition
should remain open during the three
;MU feriex, or red-letter days. of the Ist, 2d and
3d November. The first of them is La Toussaint.
or All Saints' Day, one of the five great universal
holidays of France. The second is known as Le
Jour des 31orte, when all good Catholics ought
to be praying in the churchyards over the tombs
of their relations, but which they are this year
invited to spend more agreeably over the "grave"
of the Exhibition. On Sunday, the 3d, I pre
sume the end of all things will really take place.
These last three days, one is glad to find, are de
voted to charitable purpose!, and the produce
will be divided amongst the bospitala of
Paris and the bureaux (I , bi.nfai_lants , .
The reserved garden, however. is -to
remain open until further announcement; and I
should not be surprised to learn that arrange
meats had been made to render this latter per
manent, and convert it into a pleasure-ground
for the dense population of the laboring classes
which dwell just cloae behind it in the quarter of
the ;town known as the Grand Caillou. I think
I ventured in a former letter to announce the
probability of a considerable deficit in the re
ceipts of the Exhibition, as a pecuniary enter
prise. Of course, there is still a good deal of
uncertainty existing on this subject; but I ant
led now to think that the results, in this point
of view, are likely to be more favorable than
were anticipated, and that the parsimony of the
Imperial esntemissionera will at least be crowned
with the merit of success. A somewhat sanguine'
member of that body declares to me that a sur
plus of three millions is now foreseen with toler
able certitude. You arc aware that the expenses
of the undertaking were originally guaranteed
by the State, the municipality of Paris and a so
ciety of private capitalists and men of business.
I am assured that this latter body, as soon as a
surplus was in view instead of a deficit, mani
fested a very decided inclination fora division of
profits. These gentlemen seemed to think that the
maxim which tells us that "virtue is its own
reward" was somewhat barren, and that as their
patriotism had run the risk of failure, it was en
titled to share in the benefits of success. But
when "the Governor" heard of this idea, he was
so disgusted, and expressed himself so plainly
on the subject, that it was evident that whoever
advocated such a project must bid adieu, forever,
to "Imperial", favor; and so the design was
given up, and the surplus, if any, will be applied
to public purposes.
I am glad to be able to inform you, when
speaking of this subject, that the labors of the
American Commission' have been very nearly
brought to a conclusion at the appointed
time, and that the various Reports of
the special committees, amongst whom the la
borious task of investigating this stupenduons
collection of the products of human industry was
divided, are now nearly all completed. Several
of these have been already read before general
meetings of the United States Commission._.
Amongst such is a very remarkable Report by
Colonel Norton, of this city, on War Material,
and New Inventions applicable thereto. It is of
formidable dimensions, running through some
100 and quite exhaustive of the
subject of which it treats. The com
parative- Conclusions at which it arrives are
most complimentary and satisfactory to Ameri
can Science, in this most important branch of
human progress, and tend to place the different
War departments of the United States, both na
val and military, far ahead of those of the most
advanced nations elf Europe.
I gave you in my last letter, at some length,
my views upon the existing position of the
Italian question, based upon the authority and
opinions of persons well situated to judge of the
feelings and intentions of both the governments
directly implicated in the, present crisis. The
only new fact which has since transpired is that
of a portion of the Italian army having crossed
the Pontifical frontier, and occupied certain
points within the Papal territory. This intelli
gence sounds alarming; it is "doubtless
of a startling description, and has,
for the moment, considerably increased the'
public perturbation. Some of the semi-official
journals, such as the Patrie for instance, always
more Imperialist than the Government itself, are
doing their best to augment thiti - feeling still
further by articles headed "Declaration of War"
and " Insults to France." Bat I still trust that
none of the ominous consequences at present
predicted will be realized. The Proclamation of
Victor Emmanuel, and the Circular of Napoleon's
Foreign Minister, showed pretty clearly, Ithink,
that the two Governments understood each other
up to that point of time, and nothing has since
occurred to render them more hostile. The
King of Italy knew when he penned his declara
tion that France was on heiway to Civita Vec
chia. The official gazette of Florence _tells us
that he had all along announced that he would
„act as he is now doing,,in ease of French troops
apt easing on Itallanloll. The only point which
le t this 'moment somewhat' dark is, whether
ctor Emmannel is acting in despite and in face
14111 e remonstrances and even threats and de-

nunclations of the imperial government. The
Patrie and the Pays would fain make us believe
that he is; but my own privatelnformation leads
me to a different conclusion, and to the be
lief that although the Emperor Napoleon,
with that vacillating and tritambv polltcy which
now unfortunately marks all hispoliticad actions,
has not actually sanctioned this jblnx occupa
tion by the Italian troops (fearing thereby to
exasperate the clerical party)—yet that he both
has and will connive at it, as the necessary result
of that same "liberty of action" which. Italy re
served to herself with Francs in the faceoceveats
like the present, and that; consequently, no mis
chief will come of it. Much will, doubtless, de
pend upon the movements and success of Gari
baldi, of whom, during the last few drip, We
have heard scarcely anything. But if that hero
can be safely caught by the leg, or again fortu
lately wounded in the heel, I think that the last
remains of the temporal power may yet. die a
natural and peaceful death in the preseace of the
two armies which both profess to be there to
keep it alive! ,
Disraeli's Speech... What 'the Peapile
'Think of the Chancellor's Principles
and Policy.
(From the leaden Tin:lei. Oct. IL)
The Chancellor of the Excheoner undertook at
Edinburgh a work of considerable' difficulty, and
achieved it with a success not only resPeclablo
but specially illustrating the range and versatil
ity of his powers. He undertook to
persuade twelve hundred Beotchmen tbat
the English Reform act is a very
good measure, eminently original, well
tounded in the character and institutions
of the country, likely to endure long, calculated
to unite classes, framed on national rather than
philcsophic principles, and, more than all,
thoroughly the design and execution of the con-
Erervative party. His argument naturally di
vided Itself under two heads:—lt was a good,
work, and he did it. * * * After all, the
only merit of the bill which rests on solid
grounds, which cannot be diminished or
explained away, and which is a real
conservative triumph, is that the con
stitution has now been placed on the firm basis
of the rate-paying class. It is something to have
reached a stratum that will not yield, and that
has in itself a principle of consistency. Mr.
Disraeli promises even the purification of our
municipal elections by the abolition of com
pound householders in Parliamentary boroughs.
In the political cosmos he has now found the
desired fulcrum with which to move
the world. The whip cannot there undermine
him and put the conservatives in perpetual
jeopardy of a still lower descent. But what have
we come to, and how much farther are we likely
to go, when the conservative leader of the House
of Commons can make it his great and only un
disputed boast that he has established household
suffrage in our cities and boroughs, with the
security of ratepaying?
Tie Abyssinian Expedition
A letter from the Rev. H. A. Btein, one of the
captives, addressed to his wife in England. has
arrived. It is dated Magdala, Sept. 7. In it he
details the atrocities which the King has com
mitted. and which have been already published,
and states that he trusts no small force of the
English which may be sent out will fall into the
King's hands, for that his thirst of blood is so
great that they will assuredly perish.
A letter from Mr. Rossane has been published,
in which he says that King Theodore, speaking
of an English expedition, said: "Let themcome : they shall see that am not a woman or
a coward.'

the text of the Papal Encyclical lately referred
to in a telegram. The following is a translation
of the portion relating to Garibaldi :,..--

heaven they blaspheme God, soil and despise all that is
sacred, and treading under foot all Divine and human
laws, breathe but carnage like rapacious womes,
lodise their Fouls by the great eine, carrying away
by violence the goods of others, afflicting the feeble and
poor, increasing the number of unhappy widows and or
phans, snit in the corruption of their hearts shamefully
satiating themselves with bad passions, to the great in

we are pow surrounded venerable brethren. Actuated
by a spirit altogether diabolical these men desire to 'un

the chair of St. Peter, the centre of truth and catholic
unity. And the 'chiefs of the Piedmonteec Gov

our heart we do not ceaa to pray, and with all our might
supplicate God, rich in m cy, that He may bring these
unfortunate men to a salary penitence and into the
right path of justice, religion and' piety, we cannot be
silent on the grave dangers to which we are exposed in
Udell dark hour, We await with an entirely tranquil
mind the course of events, whether they be brought
about by deceit, by calumny, by treachery, and criminal
falsehood, for we place all, our hope and all our confidence
in God, the author of our salvation, who le our stay and
our courage in all our tribulations, who does not sailer
that those who trust in Him should be confounded, who

venerable brethren, from pointing out first to you, and to
all the faithful committed to ,your charge, the extrem e ly

considerable numbers of these most iniquitous aggressors.
And although we experience great, comfort from the filial

Brilliant Feat of Menotti Garibaldi.
The Italia gives the following account of a
brilliant achievement of Menotti Garibaldi:
We learn by our advice. from Isoletts. that Menotti
Garibaldi, after heating the Papal forces on the frontiers,
hurried by a march of unheard-of audacity' to the heights
of ravioli, while his father marched on Rome from. the
opposite side. The Pontifical artillery at Monte Maio
and the chfitean Bt Ango opened a weßsustained fire
against him, bl y ghout doing any mischief. Tumults
recommenced city, and a superior artillery officer
was the firs to fall. - "Garibaldi advanced from
the side of Tivoli to attack the city at the same time.
The troops at Villetri and Frosinone were recalled to
Rome by telegraph; those of Viterbo were for the moment
cut off. The troops that entered Civita Vecehht after
the fight at Borghetto are still there. Those who
are not acquainted with the y
City of Rome., cannot
possibly understand the audacity of Menotti Garibaldi's
march. It has few parallels in military history. The
heights of Paviola consist of some bills of easy ascent
between the Milvian bridge and the Porto del Popolo.
These heights are little more than a mile from the Puicio
_promenade in the interior of Rome. But that is not all.
They , are defended by a bend of the Tiber, which, ca.ti
only be passed on that side by the 311Ivian bridge. On the
other runs the Teverone. which can only be crossed mien
two bridge.. These three bridges were kept by strong
detachments of the Papal soldiers. Menotti had then to
ci ()so one of them to command the walla of ROM. He ,
ought clearly to be sure that his father would attack the
city on the other aide, or otherwise he would be shut up
in a position which it would not be easy to leave. On the
13tb, 14th and 16th Juno 1849, the Italians achieved prodi
gies of valor on those heights, and heroically disputed their
possession with the French.

According to the Balnarte de la Libertad, of

Senor Ramon Trzsvina has addressed a letter
froth Rosario to the 'WO XIX, in which he
accuses Don Francisco Armienta,, Secretary to
Gen. Ramon Corona, of having adhered to the
empire and signed am act of recognition in that
sense in November, DM, at Villa de/Puerto, in

by Colonel Francisco de la Vega to Mazatlan for
the purposes of getting the French/ command
ant of that post to send a detachment against
the central districts of the State which remained
faithful to the republic. The troops• were sent,
but were defeated at San Pedro, near Culiacan,

ceeded by a conflagration, which illuminated the
heavens and informed those who had heard the
explosion and the subseopent alarm of fire that a
conflagration was raging. The scene of the ex
plosion is on Canal street, occupying nearly all
of the south half of the block between West
Randolph and West Washington streets. The
double frame building, Nos. 19 and 2t, a frame
stragture in the rear, the brick block, comprising
Nos. 23, 25, 27 and 29, and the frame structure
which stood on the corner of Canal and West
Washington street—all these buildings are now a
mass of ruins.
The cause of the destruction was the explosion
of a boiler in 3larple's flouring mill, Nos. 23 and
25, a portion of the large three-story brick build
ing. Nothing definite is known as to the cause
of the explosion. All that is known is that the
engineer, James Connell,was left in charge of the
machinery at t o'clock on Saturday evening, and
that he was killed when the explosion took place.
Frank Cahill, the miller, states that, about half
past 1 o'clock, he observed that the machinery
was working at a too rapid rate, and desdended
the stairs to regulate the gearing. He went be
low the frame-work of timbers that supported
the millstones, and his hand was already upon
the gear-wheel. But he did not turn it. That
instant a terrible noise broke upon his ear,and in
a moment he was buried beneath a mass of brick,
mortar and timbers. The force of the explosion
had thrown the hot coals of the furnace in every
direction,and soon flames broke out in scores of
places throughout the block. The confusion•
that ensued exceeded a panic. Then followed
a terrible scene. The livery stable, corner of
West Washington and Canal streets, caught fire
first, and the flames guying among the hay, the
arrival of the steamers, in obmilenee to the alarm
that had been sent from the nearest box, how
ever prompt, was of no avail. Immediately after,
Groessinger's boarding-house was in flames, as
was that portion of the mill which still stood,
and which consisted of a small part of the frame
work which yet supported half the street wa
The frame structure next north 'then took fire,'
and the progress of the flames had put It beyond
the power of saving it. In a short space of time
a vast area presented a scene of indescribable
ruin.
Botlt the engineer and the miller were, as
stated, burled in the debriJ. Cahill was dragged
from the mass by a policeman. He was scarcely
:dive, having been dreadfully scalded about the
bcdy. It is expected he may recover. about
one in the afternoon the lifeless body of the en
gincer was found.
During the day another fire occurred 'on Wells
street, which burned a number of dwellings and
cestroyed the dock of the Northern Transporta
tion Company. The total loss will amount to
about $50,000. At 8 o'clock a fire broke out on
Market street, which destroyed an entire row of
small dwellings, causing a loss of $20,000. On
Satunlay the Brighton House was destroyed by
fire, involving a loss of nearly $40,000.
• SUPPOSED INCENDIARY.
Henry Creamei., who occupied the lower part
of No. 10 Wells street, has been arrested on a
charge of arson. It Is stated that the flames
broke out in his portion of the premises, and
that there had been no lire there for a very long
time past. When the fire was discovered he was
seen running from the building under suspicious
circumstances. Other facts will be developed at
an examination before the Police Court.
Formal Transfer and Delivery of Ras.
sten America to the United States—
The Ceremonies and Addresses on the
Occasion.
NEW ARCILANGEL
Oct. 8, by way of Victoria, V.
1., Nov. 10, and Swinomish, W. T., Nov. 11,
1867.—The formal transfer and delivery of Rus
sian America to the United States Government
took place to-day, by Captain Pesterchoff i Actinic
Commissioner on behalf of the Russian Govern
ment, and Major-General Rousseau, on behalf of
the United States.
At three o'clock P. M. a battalion of United
States troops, under command of Major Charles
0. Wood, of the 9th infantry, was drawn up in
line in front of the Governor's residence, where
the transfer' took place. By half-past three
a large concourse of people had assembled,
comprising Americans, Russians of all classes,
Creoles and Indians, all eager witnesses of tho
ceremonies.
Precisely at the last-named hour the Russian
forts and fleet fired salutes in honor of the lower
ing of the Russian flag; but the flag would not
come down. In lowering it tore its entire width
close by the halliards, and floated from the cross
trees some forty feet from the ground. Three
Russian sailors then attempted to ascend the
inch-and-a-half guy ropes supporting the flag
staff, but each failed to reach his national em
blem. A fourth ascended in a boatswain's chair,
seized the flag and threw it in a direction
directly beneath him; but the motion of the wind
carried it off, and caused a sensation in every
heart.
Five minutes after the lowering of the Rus
sian flag, the Stars and Stripes went gracefully
up, floating handsomely and free, Major-General
Lovell Rousseau having the honor of flinging the
flag to the breeze, the United States steamers
Osaipeo and Resaca at the same time honoring
the event by firing salutes t As the Russian flag
was lowered Captain Pestrechoffstepped forward
and addressed General Rousseau as follows :
Genera!—As Commissioner of his Imperial
Majesty the Emperor of Russia I now transfer
toil deliver the territory of Russian America,
Ceded by his Majesty to the United States. ti
.General Rousseau, in response, as the Ameri
can flag ascended , said:
:Captasta—As Commissioner on behalf of the
Unittid States Government I receive and accept
ifJ3
thllMO accordingly.
The commissioners spoke in a tone of conk-
Moit:eonversation, and were only beard by Gov-,

SENSATION AT DIXON, ILLINOIS*
A Man Beheaded Found Concealed In
a Box.
(Correspondence of the Chicago Eveniag Journal)
DIXON, 111., Nov. 10.—This town was intensely
excited yesterday, upon the discovery of a box
in the river, about half way to Nelson station,
six miles distant, containing the body of a man
with his head and feet chopped off and packed
in with the body. The remains were of a person
but recently deceased, decomposition not having
taken place, and the features being,as•natural as
• a sleep.
The box was weighed down with stones and
secured to a willow by a rope, which was disco
vered by a fisherman. It seemed evident that
whoever deposited the body In the river intended
to shortly remove it. The head, feet and limbs
were rudely chopped off. All thus far in con
nection with the affair is a mystery, and there is
intense excitement.
