FROM HAVANA. [Cerreapondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] ILAVANA t Nov. 30, 18G7.—In the dearth of more important news there Is nothing here to write about, except to mention the inctrashig unpopu larity of the political Governor, and to rejoide over the decrease of the epidemic disease, which first appeared last October. and has been raging since, The mild temperature of the weather has considerably lessened the number of cases, par ticularly the more dangerous ones, and a few more pleasant days may remove the disease entirely. As yet the name of the disease is unkr9wiL4o_ the medical profesmon, but they 'ae earnestly investigating the symptoms and nature of the epidemic. -- Um opposition to tile political OnOrnor arises : l from several improprieties *hick"el:las perpe trated. One of his unpopular acts was to create unneee.ary alarm 'lllld 'lnjure commercial trade by his health orders. As a conse quence of these orders the Boards of. Health In aifferent parts of the island have placed an inter dict on all coasting vessels coming from Havana, and now traders arriving here are obliged to remain at great pecuniary loss. The. Governor's_ appointment to the Inspectorship of Hospitals of a very unlit man, and one of bad rep rte, has been severely condemned, and a report has been .11realatitd that It was done to allow the Go vernor a good opportunity of obtaining for his private purse the *IOO,OOO specially funded In the City Court chests for sanitary purposes. Th e scandal against him has been inermsed by hit conduct at the funeral of the late General ManzanO, he having publicly appeared in the procession nonchalantly smoking a large cigar in open carriage. It iri said that he Is only wait, ing here to obtain some wealthy heiress for his wife, and that then he will return to Spain with out carrying any pleasant feelings towards the Cubans. already he has made three attempts to form an alliance with creole families here, and has failed, and now he is being gallant to the daughter of a millionaire, lately a parrenu. • A Commissioner has been ordered to report on the condition of the sugar plantation of the con tractor for cleansing the streets of this city, where an epidemic has been extensively raging among the negroes. It is the plantation of •-Toledo," situated within a short distance of this city. and the contractor •has made it the receptacle of all the filth and garbage collected from the streets of Havana. Several - years' col lection of this excrement has made his planta tion a monster nadir of nastiness, and the result is that sixty negroes have died by pestilence, and others are suffering. Besides this the stench has offended the nostrils of the inhabitants of the Cerro, Puentes, Marianao, and the other suburbs of Havana. Business has been dull. while money has been plenty. The prospects for the coming year, iIOWCN er, appear good. EEO= Si,: AP. --The markct *Peeled' tbio meek withlittle• se: tivity. and eloped n Itboot any change; low.

PHILADELPHIA, PRIDAY I 'DECEMI3EIt, 6,, 1867. [Special Despatch to the Philadelphia Evenfros Bulletin.] THE E]IPEEOII'S SPEECH OF , IUrH Or NO- "All goes ill," says the valet in the farce; myon are poorer than Job; your stocks are worthless; your farms flooded." "Ab, charming! " repllea the rake; "let% have new ones all 'round." , • This kind of airy optimism breathes through the'speech read yesterday: from the throne,•by the Emperor,'at the oimohir, or . the.ifesilions of 1868. The political barometer is sinking fast; the black points on the horizon are swelling into thunder-elonde. France Ls watching with so cessions Of •hato the daily. aggrandizeinent of Prussia. The Italian intervention has awakened • 'en unprecedented feeling against, the Empress and the Jesuits. Russia As about to gorge' itself with the Turkish „frontiers: Tur key is making the life et:':ltts,;ehriatian sti t ts jects intolerable. The French crops have failed; the reveilueshave dlininisited, , 'Rottlier has proved inadequatei'lOthiterrible otiestionnf thefltum ces; the people are angry at'- the .rise in flour; the - great circle of manufacturers' within the extended city limits are raging over the-fore closure of their leases; the liberal editors'. are, laughing louder and louder around the.t.tthrone like a ring of hyenas; the correctional chamber is still occupied in distributing punishments to the gentlemen who uncovered before the tomb of Joseph Manin, at Montmartre,• on the late Festival of the Dead; the insurgent placards-- Nhich followed the rise in bread were hardly torn down when the sergeants of the Faubourg St. Antoine were summoned to strip off (it was on Saturday week,) fifty prociamations4ricked five the paper with a blackened pin, inviting the Parisians to "overthrow Napoleon and his crea tures, Rouhcr, the Jesuits! To march on to the cry of Liberty, Italy, Garibaldi, the Republic! Down with Jesuits end traitors, their hour is coming!" Over this threatening chorus of revolt, distress and irony, rises one modulated and clegant Voice, articulated in words of inexplica ofc cheerfulness. "It is hard to explain," smilingly observed the Emperor yesterday, "these Ifestations of inquietude, at a moment when ranee has offered to the world the most impos:- ling spectacle of conciliation, arid peace.", I am not going to devote this letter to a de seription of the brilliant ceremony of, the open g the Legislative session' yesterday. The row , of foreigners and provincials and lazza . which almost prevented me front crossing The Place du Carrottsel,had in it little of the civic ,element, and did not tempt me to linger. The crowd, however, gaped and 'waited ; even the nn of midday came out through the fog to look. The city guards formed a lane from the Arch of Trf amph to the Pavilion Denon. Meanwhile th,3 Emperor, who had been profiling, by the so-, :Anshan of St. Claud for the adjustment of his most difficult and delicate periods, came to town betimes with - the draft in his pocket:" The halls adjacent, to the vast velvet-draped Salle des Etats rapidly lled with privileged spectators. Prince Napoleon' • attended among the notables zo receive the Emperor. Princess Mathilde stood with a group of more respectable ladies to welcome the Em-, press. -Then the sun came out, and afterwards EngCnie. Dreised is white satin, strewn with laurels, she -seemed. like a self-constituted pre t' at , e of victory. Two herses drew her, and the Garde Imperitilerode bfore and after. Directly the Emperor and his son, in another chariot and pair, achieved the not terrible distance from the Tutierietto the Pavilion Denon—compamble to that from the - Union League to the Academy. The sire wore a general's uniform, and the son "black velvet with violet stockings;" and both had the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor. The supernumeraries engaged for such occasions made the air ring with vivas; and then the man f many ccber., mpts. • disappeared into the Louvre, and spoke his piece, and M. Rouher wore in the new senators and legislator, and instructed the two bodies to assemble next day in their respective places of sitting. That was the ceremony. But to-day posters, fairly printed on thick paper with a beautiful relief of white margin. hold up the Discourse to the admiration of Paris in all kinds of public places; .1. nice copy clung to the surbase of the Mairie of the Sixth Arron dement: and happening past there just now, I lingered awhile, not to read the speech, which was old to me, but to watch the behavior of the group around it. The Place SI. Sulplee is a great favorite with the lower sort of Paris botirgeoislei on summer nights they sing, and even dance there, with Visconti's llons snarling at them from the foun -lain. - The Place Is a thoroughfare for the upper stratum of the lower orders, and the daily cop of the Musitenr, and the occasional Addresses posted on the Mairie wall opposite, receive from this quarter some of their most telling criticisms. So while the conservatives in both bodies were sweating in their seats under the indiction or expectation of liberal questions of the most inconvenient nature, I staid col lecting the same questions, the same comments, in what I may call a more popular form. The changing readers came, delivered their shot, and retired, and between their remarks I watched the birds pass through the open tower of St. Sulpice, and listened to the dull plash of the fountain, or to the thunders of demolished walls which are now falling around the neighboring church of St. Germain des Prds, to develop a space about that venerable relic of the sixth century and of Childebert. Kalliwoda ..Knecken The class in Paris who cannot take a paper, and rely upon the city walls, are not illiterate and stupid like the happily few corresponding ones with us. One grunting old reader, with a velvet cap under his napless beaver, even carried a remarkably dirty red ribbon at his buttonhole. He muttered out this quotation from the speech. The Exposition has destroyed forever a pad of prejudices and errors; fetters of labor and of inlet- ligence, barring between different races, as between different classes, intes national walls, these things she has left bchilid her. "Fetters of labor left behind her!" ho ex claimed, looking round at those behind 14m - .- " Then I would like t 4 know wh.t,`:to*nrds the conclusion *co the cease of the Papotaltima, all the industries of Paris have becamestag, -Jaunt!"

But in the meantime, a youth in an enormous "Reubsiis.” hat and a cloud of hair, was executing a sketch opposite-the Emperor's "account of his journey ,with the Empress into the north and east pixi vinees. Somebody pulled the young man away 'last as he was finishing, -and revealed a most tell ing little caricature of Engenhi offering a small bonnet of the present mode to a high-eapped Norman woman, who was rejecting the trifling donation with theatrical disgust. "If you had left me an instant," he said. slily, "I would have msdo her offering-bishops' mitree to the 'village priests." The confessions that the estimates of the last Budget would prove insufficient, provoked many comments, more or less Indignant but never pas sing a sort of sullen feeling of "we expected so," The project of perfecting the vicinal road was read with a curling lip by a dusty young fellow, whom I imagined to be fresh from the province and in Ile hurry to return. But the gravest blow to the Emperor's shining Augustan rhetoric was dealt by a fat, bright-eyed burgher in si sew blouse, who laid his two stumpy forefingers on two paragraphs at the same time. "Read this, brave infants," he said, in a low voice, "'The .o , :otion mill be chiejly occnpied in. con— sidering the laws if which I yore the ireitiatire last January.

"I ask you the meaning, my friends, of these haughty words," said the man in his emphatic whisper. "What are the obstacles or resistance the Emperor expects from his citizens when he shall begin to extend the liberties, the reforms and the privileges ho promised us in the address of the 19th of January?"

The First American Religions Service-.Fhe Ceremonies of 'aransfer..Feelings of the Russians. rom the Sitka Corkeppondence of the Alta Californian.] The harbor is narrow, lying between the Island Yfilambkt and the curving snore of the main land. It is hardly one hundred rods wide, but has an ample depth. The town has convenient, but not extensive wharfing. The beach is mostly covered with small boulders of green stone, trap and hard clay slate. The appearance of the town itself is not very inviting. On the right are the warehouses of the . Russian American Company, the Governor's resi dence, the churches,- and the houses of the Russian population. On the left is the Indian WM], consisting of some sixty square block cabins, a part of !them reaching in single file along down the beach. They are built of hewn logs, with roofs of cpdarbark, and betray In their structure a blending'Of savage and eivilir.ed taste— the former greatly predominating. They have no windows, but a wide opening in the centre of the roof answers the twofold purpose of admit ling the light and affording an egress for the smoke of the fire. which is built in the centre of the cabin. The island—Baranoff--on which Sitka is built, takes its name front a former Governor, and is 84 miles long, with an average width of 20 miles. It has no white inhabitants, except the residents of this town, who, with the Creoles, number 886. The Indians aro of the Koluske tribe, and are said to number 1.128. The present town of Sitka was settled in 18047 - lind owes its origin to the sea otter—the most valua-• ble fur-bearing animal of the northern seas. At that time it was found in large numbers about this and the adjacent islands, and the.high value of its skin led to the transfer of the - headquarters of the Russian American Company from Kodiae to this port. October 13 was the American Sunday. The day was drizzily till late in the afternoon. The Lutheran Church in town has had no pastor for two years, and permission was given to the Rev. Mr. Rainer, the army chaplain, to hold services there in the afternoon. It is not so large and pretentious an edifice as the Greek Church, but has pews after the English fashion, an organ,and an air of neatness and comfort. The occasion was worthy of note. It was the first service ever held by an American clergyman in Alaska. The au dience was typical of the mixed population of the rsgion. There were 11 Americans, 15 Fin land 'Russians, and more numerous than both, the dusky natives of the Island. Though catch ing not an idea from the words uttered, they seemed to appreciate the dent ozone of moment —the beginning of an era in the history of the country. The discourse had for its text the words "Worship ; God." "To-day," said the preacher, "we can say that the influence . 'of Luther beef:encompassed the world. Crossing both continents, it now unites in one faith and practice men of divers origin,habits, and enilture."

At the same moment, our troopO embarked in the binnehes belonging -to the men of-war—the boat . lsl4leneral Davis, with the flag and guard of hottof,taking the lead. This move` meatcovered the little harbor with boats, and the sheen -of the muskets, the uniforms of the officers, with the dark and lofty moan?tains as a background, presented a. novel and impressive picture., A short row, add. the Stara and Stripes were landed for the first time on ciur new territory. As soon as the soldiers were all landed, Gen. Davis, with the guard of honor, proceeded to the Governor's house, )e-latter • taking theirvosition on the lett. in trout of the flag. staff. Our soldiers.roarfiled past. and took their position on the left of the Russians—the latter presenting arms, and ours returning salute. At 33,1 o'clock Prince Maksuutof and the Com missioners, General Rousseau and Captain Pestehonroff, appeared,and taking their posttlon near the flag•etaff were saluted by the military. Captain- Peatehourof.B.then. gave the signal to lowerthe Russian flag. As soon as it began to move down the staff a gun thundered from the Oseipee, the ship of the senior officer of our squadron. A-moment after it was answered by a gun from the Russian battery. These guns were fired alternately, first by us and then by them, until 21 guns were fired by each.. When the flag bad 6 descended one third of the distance, it caught fast in the yard arm. One of the Governor's marines, aticeruling,. disengaged, it, and it dropped down upon the heads of the Russian soldiers; as if seeking a home with those whe were its appointed defend ers. Capt. Peetehouroff, turning to the American Commissioner, Gen. Rousseau, said: "By the au thority of .1114 Majesty the Emperor of all the Russius, I transfer to you, the agent of the United States, all the territory anti dominion now possessed by Ills Majesty on the Continent of America and in the adjacent islands, according to a treaty made between these twatrowent." Gen. Rousseau replied: "I acceptirom you, as, agent of His Majesty the Emperor of all the Ras alas, the territory and'dominion which you have transferred to me, as Commissionet on the part of the United States to receive the same." • Our flag was now bent to the halyards by two American sailors, and Georg Lovell Rousseau, a lad of l and son of Gen. R sseau, assisted by a mideld man, raised the Ste and Stripes, slowly and en ly, to the head of the taff. A gun thun dered from the Russian battery, answered by one from our ship. The firing was alternate, as be fore, until each had fired the national salute. The Russian eagle had now given place to the American, and the national colors- flouW over a new, wide-spread territory. Our dotninion now borders on a new ocean, and almost touches the old continent—Asia. Democratic institu tions now extend over an area hitherto the pos session of allespotie Government. 'l'he occasion insplied the soul of every American present, and as the officers retired three mighty cheers were given, and we all . rejoiced that we now stood on American soil. The inquiry naturally arises In the mind of the reader: "How do the Russians of Alaska regard this sale of the territory to a foreign power ?" Very much as you, reader, would in the same circumstances. I have already mentioned that very few of them witnessed the ceremonies of the transfer. The Russians, like the Americans, are proud of their vast domain. Hitherto, in her history { Russia, like the United States, has invariably been adding to, but never surrender ing any of her territory. The tale of Alaska is an anomaly in her policy. However judicious the disposal of this domain may seem to the Emperor, and to the European Russians, those subjects liv- Ir ,. in the territory cannot see the expediency of the act in the same light. No one could walk the streets to-day, after the announcement of the arrival of the Commissioners, without perceiving that an air of depression pervaded the Russian population. I overheard one say, in troken English to a companion, "I cannot be present at the death of the country." "There will be many tears shed to-night in :Atka," said a Finlander to our interpreter; and it is told that the intelli gent and accomplished wife of the Governor, after the ceremony of the transfer was over, re tired to her chamber and wept bitterly. If the report be true, and I do not doubt that it is, the feeling does credit to her head and her heart. Secretary sewara mutt In the Realism. tate Brokerage Busunews. By the following letter from our special cor respondent in Havana, It will be seen that Mr. Seward is still in the real estate business, and is now negotiating for the purchase of the island,of Cuba, and endeavoring to prove thatthe theory which he promulgated eight years ago—that Cuba was gravitating towards the United States —was correct. What seems most strange is the announcement that the Spanish government looks favorably upon the proposition, to pur chase the island, and seems inclined to enter ' into negotiations which tend to deprive her of the most valuable Jewel among her possessions: HAVANA, Nov. 80,1807.—1 am about astonish ing your readers with something more sensa tional than the cholerine bogus. It is a subject which it will be difficult to judge of, whether the communication in your columns will create a livelier interest in the United States or in this Island. It is an affair that has been broached be fore although we did pot learn the sequel of It. But, if the information which I have obtained in, a reliable quarter does not err, it would seem that "the egg has been hatched" at last. It ap pears that according to a "confidential" corres pondence from undoubted parties in 'Spain (received by a private gentleman enjoy ing an unexceptionable position In Cuban society), a great change has been wrought in the bearing of the Spaniel government towards our Minister at Madrid ever since the cession by the. Russian Government of Russian America. (or American Russia ?) and the sale by Denmark of the Danish Antilles. And further that, •In obedi ence to, instructions received from Secretary Seward, the American Minister at .
