EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
LETTER Fito3l PARIS•
[Correspondence of the Philadelphia. Evening Bulletin.]
PARIS, Friday, December 20th, 1867.
The Moniteur expresses in general terms its
approbation of the message of President John
son. The French official journal finds the lan
guage therein employed "firm and moderate,"‘
and attributes the attitude assumed by the Amer
ican Executive to the "confidence It now feels
that its authority and policy are supported by a
large and increasing section of public
Opinion." The Moniteur alludes particularly
to the portion of the message which speaks
of the difficulties thrown in the way of recon
struction, and the "arbitrary and illegal mea
sures" imposed, in spite of the President's
wishes, upon the Southern States. The organ of
the imperial government considers the uneasi
ness expressed respecting this subject as arising
from the deep and "patriotic" feelings of the
President, and evidently views with approbation
the "resolikiely 'expressed determination" to
stake all upon, his peraonal responsibility, and
to "save the country" at his own risk and , .
peril, should ,any 'attempt be made at°
subvert one of the frindamenta
authorities of the government. The "confidence
of the President in the wisdom of the people, as
manifested in the result of the late elections," is
also especially noticed by the Moniteur. Of
course, it is easy to see what is alluded to in the
above remark, and what parallel is attempted to
be thus drawn between certain past incidents of
French history and the pending "conflict of
powers" in the United States. I make no com
ments upon these far-fetched similitudes and
comparisons between political institutions
in reality so remote from each other
as those of France and! the „United States',
I only allude to and dwell up:in them for a mo
ment as a warning to all good and really "pa
triotic" citizens not to push things to extremi
ties, ECI as to give any real ground for such in
ductions. No doubt a "democratic" sovereign
like Napoleon 111. is delighted to draw the pic
ture of such fancied resemblances, and represents
"things in France" ter be like "things in Amer
ica." • For what better proof could he possibly
offer to his own subjects that they are
really in the enjoyment of "free institutions"
than by instituting such analogies? Especially
does the Emperor Napoleon approve of "appeal
to the people "—after his own fashion, :Ilene wets
set 71108 ! is not universal suffrage the basis of all
laws and right lc France, as well as in America,
and therrliffe are not our Institutions similar?
The conclusion drawn reminds one of the old
form of argument called by logicians an "un
distributed middle," and which world make one
believe that two things are alike because they are
called by the same name, and that the universal
suffrage which in America is a reality, is identi
fied with the universal suffrage which in Fraace
is a sham!
It would be a breach of courtesy, however, `o
omit to remark that the Moniteur acknowledges
warmly the "very cordial terms in which Mr.
Johnson expresses himself towards France,"
when speaking of the Universal Exhibition and
the monetary conference recently held in Paris.
And so, upon the whole, putting all things to
gether, and coupling the language I lately
quoted from the State paper on the condition of
the empire with that now made use of with ref
erence to the message, it is pretty evident
that the wishes of the imperial
Government, with regard to the United States, are
that bygones 'should be bygones, and that both
alike should revert to the terms of "ancient cor
diality."
vs I mentioned two days ago, we are begin
ning to look into our own internal affairs. There
is plenty to do in that way. Not to speak of the
finances, which will be a weighty business when
it comes on, there is the army bill, the discussion
of which commenced yesterday. When it will
nd, heaven knows; for there are fifty amendments
proposed already by all sections of the Chamber,
and more coating in every day. The fact is
that every member desires to stand right in the
eyes of his constituents on lie all important sub
ject of conscription, which is perhaps the only
one capable of rousing even the agricultural
population of France in a sufficient degree to
make them defy even government influence and
pressure in the ensuing elections. Every deputy,
therefore, is eager to show his zeal for the "peo
ple," and his desire to do something to lighten
the burden of military service. The position,
however, is difficult, because if a deputy re
sists the bill ho offends the govern
ment, and Asks his government
patronage; and if he support the measure too
absolutely, he may exasperate his electors into
voting even . against a candidut du gouverne;ment.
There will be a great deal, therefore, of compro
mising or pretended compromise, ending by the
government having probably very much its own
way. For the sake of appearances, however,
the Chamber will most likely bo allowed to seem
to carry the amendment permitting engaged
soldiers of the reserve to marry a year sooner
than proposed by the bill, in order to have the
air of conferring a boon on the population
in spite of the wishes of the
Government. M. Jules Simon; the well-known
philanthropist, made a telling speech yesterday in
lavor of the earlier permission to marry,
grounded mainly on arguments of morality and
social economy.
A numerous meeting of 'Mexican' bondholders
was held two days ago in the circus of the
Champs-Elyseds. The object was to insist upon
the Government having, by its conduct, made
itself responsible for the total loss sustained by
subscribers to the loan. The authorities
seem to have apprehended that there
might be some "loud" talking; . , for they sent
M. de La Gueronnidre, Senator ; and author
of thesfamons Imperial pamphlets, to pacify the
enraged losers, and assure them that their-claims
were at this moment "under consideration."
There are still indications of silent prepara
tion and apprehension in the war department.
There is no longer any doubt that the strong
fortress of Lille, on the northeast frontier, Is re
ceiving what is called a soma -armament;
that Is, above a thousand guns are being
put. in - position. The fabrication of Chae
sepOt rifles is, I know, carried on with
great rapidity, and on an immense scale.
The Government manufactory at Assuilley, on the
Loire, has increased its establisliment to over
8,000 workmen, and is now, alone, in a position
to turn 0nt,40,000 rifles per month. The Prusso-
Italian bugbear is, therefore, by no means- yet
set, at rest. The Italian authorities have just
warned all travelers entering France from Italy,
that they require passports, although ace-versa

AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND.
The Clerkenevell Tragedy—Examina•
lion or the Prlsoners—lrtsh Loyalty.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Ilmeal
Losmou Saturday, Dec. 21, 1867.—1 expressed
the belief in my last that the terrible tragedy at
Clerkenwell might have been prevented• as well
rd that at Manchester. Lord Raneleigh is of the
same opinion. At a meeting of the Middleaex
magistrates on Thursday he stated that notice of
the attempt on the prison, and the mode of it,
was telegraphed the day before both from
Dublin and Paris. It was known in
London at noon. Secretary Hardy gave
notice both to the Chief of Police
and the Governor of the prison. The latter said
he would take care of the inside, but the police
must guard the outside. His Lordship, there
lore, introduced a resolution of censure on Sir
Richard Mayne. The magh3trates feared to quar
rel with the Police authorities at this juncture,
and with some difficulty prevailed upon the
plucky peer to withdraw his resolution; but it
is before the public, and there is little doubt
what will be its verdict. That of the Coroner's in
quest is as strong as Lord Ranelligh's resolution
Yesterday, in a postscript dated at 3 A. M., the
Times announced the arrest of four leading Fe
nians concerned in the Clerkenwell outrage.
They were arraigned at Bow street, yesterday,
and the chief witness against them examined.
He is one James Vaughan, an Irish tailor in
Soho, who had taken the Fenian oath of one of
the prisoners in the street,• and had since at
tended their raffles for poor widows with
six children, by which money was raised
for the Irish Republic. The tour prisoners—
Nicholas English, Patrick Mulveny, William
Desmond and John O'Keefe—are also either
working tailors or shoemakers, living in St. Giles
or Soho, the lowest Irish quarters of West Cen
tral London, who got drunk together and plotted
treason at public houses. The informer, who
bad seen the offer of a reward of $lOO, testified
that Timothy Desmond, one of the men arrested
at the time of the explosion, came to him on
Friday last:
He came to the door and helloed out "Ahoy!'.'
I said, "Halloo, Thn,have you been muddling it?".
He said, "No, but I have been having a little
drop," adding that his son had gone off to sea
that morning. He asked my wile if she had seen
his wife. She said "No." I said, "You don't
mean to say your wife has hooked it. Tim?"
He said, "Yes, she lte; and by the GOd that
made me, she shall never lie beside me again."
Sly wife said, "Don't be foolish." He said,
"Good by," and kissed her, and said he was
going to "take ajump." He then whispered to
me that the trick should be done between half
past three and four, Annie Justice had found out
the right time for the prisoners to exercise in the
yard. He said, "It must be done." I said,
" What?" He said, "To blow up the House of
Detention. When I am gone, Jemmy, I don't
expect you will see me any more, or if you do it
will be a corpse ; or if I get of and am arrested,
the next place will be the gallows or
Milbank. Keefe will do the trick with
Bill Desmond, for Massey, Corydon and Devany.
Jem. good boy, and pray for me when I am
blasted into eternity." He then squeezed my
band very hard, and kissed me. He said Annie
Justice had found out the time by going in with
Casey's dinner. He said I was not to givb any
money to his wife, but to give it to
English, and if he was nut to come
down for it, to give it to no one but his daughter.
My wife did not hear what be said to me, as it
was all in a whisper, though she was on the
board. English came to me on Friday night,
and said. "For God's sake, Jemmy, give me as
much as you can, as I want all the money I can
get to send some on to them." I asked him
- Who?" and he said, "What, have you. not
aeard ?" He said, "The House of Detention is
blown bloody bang up !" I asked him did he
EEO Desmond, and be said, "He promised to
neet me in about an hour." I asked him if ho
nought•he should see him that night, and he
Hid, "No, I don't expect I shall." I then gave
lim 2s. I said that I could not give him
:ay more, as I was rather slack. He said "Jem
ny, for God's sake get as much as you can for
ne," 'and left. I saw him the next morning
(3aturday) in Tyler street. I went into a shop
here to buy a newspaper. I saw English in the .
erect outside the shop when I came out with the
piper. I said, "Good morning, Nick!" He then
maned very much excited. and said aloud, read
lig from the placard, "Diabolical ! we will burn
al London yet, and that will be more diaboli
cal.' '
They all met at a public bourse; English was
dunk, and said "the next thing they had better
cO was to settle Derby, Stanley and Hardy."
Then the informer went to a police sergeant
d his acquaintance, told his story, and the men
vere arrested over their drink, plotting new
hors ors.
Is it true, then, that all England is in a panic,
aid London shaken to its foundations, by three
thinken tailors, and a bootmaker in St. Giles?
1 a poor tipsy fool, desperate with poverty and
dink, to upset the British Empire? 'lt is ildieu
bus enough. The Coroner's jury has
ensured the Police authorities ; the news
ppers do not spare them. Such an event, with
bill the warning, could not have happened in
my continental city. Of course wo- would not
liar the surveillance of continental Police, but
tere really should be a little more protection.
'here is great relief in finding that it is a eon
siracy or drunken tailors, full of patriotism and
Nidelty, who, atter a three months' strike, would
- soon be blown into eternity as any
wiere; but this comfort is a little marred
b' the reflection that the "gentleman" who
kilted the fuse has not been arrested, and that
a , far as appears, no clue has been found to him.
2'). ono knows who prepared the barrel, nor
Inere it came from. The adepts have not de
cied upon the nature of its contents, though the
bet opinion is that it was not gunpowder. I was
robably correct in the surmise that it was nitro
gyeerine. We are told that the Fenian head
qtarters in England are within a mile of the
louses of Parliament, but It is not pretended
tat their exact locality Is known. It is very
eident that these poor drunken tailors of St.
tiles are trusted with no secrets of importance.
'hey make contributions, and they are used es
tols for any desperate, foolhardy enterprise; but
to man who lighted the fuse at Clerkenwell had
r) whisky in his brain to make his hand un
seedy. These poor blockheads will likely be
tinged at Newgate; but those who planned the

(For the. Philadelphia Evening Bulletin ]
New Tear?. Day at Gettysburg.
GErrysnußG, Jan. Ist, 1868.—Allow me to re
port that the New Year has opened beautifully
at the National Orphan Homestead. It has been
rainy without, but here within very pleasant.
The children have been made so happy by the
kind remembrances of their many friends abroad,
by those near, and by the affectionate care of,
those within the institution.
A few days since two gentlemen of Gettysburg,
interested in the Homestead, called to say that
the materials for a handsome and abundant
dinner would be sent In by the citizens on New
Year's day, if the proposal met with the ap
probation of those iu charge of the in-,
stitution. The cordial offering was
cordially accepted. And New Year's day
saw the tables tastefully and abun
dantly laid. The children, dressed in their uni
form, sat down to the repast, attended by the
Principal, Lieutenant Norton, and his assistants,
with the addition of Mrs. Dr. Homer, of the
Homestead Household a committee. There was
the most perfect order and entire satisfaction;
happy healthy faces beaming in every direction.
Several gentlemen of the Homestead Committee
in the town called neaf the close of the dinner
hour, partook of the refreshments, and ex
presses their satisfaction for the pleasure their
efforts had aided in Imparting on this occasion.
The contribution of candies from Phila
delphia friends came in to add de
licious sweetmeats to the close—not
altogether the close either; fcr the little
odes were allowed each to take his share as a
future reserve. I would further add, in this con
nection, that the Christmas presents sent from
Philadelphia were distributed on that interesting
festival according to marit, among the mem
bers of the large Homestead family. For this
New Year's evening there was still something
more to please and interest, to add to the sweet
memories of each orphan child of the Home
stead. "The Lodge of Good Templars," No. 161,
Williamsport, Pa., had sent a box containing a
present for each orphan, nicely done up and la
beled with the child's name. The satisfaction
was extreme, the presents being appropriate ar
ticles of clothing and books,and cacti happy reci
pient felt that precisely the right article, whether
book or clothing, had been fortunately labeled
with his or her name.
In addi tion,still, to this, a number of the children
have received individually well-filled boxes. Oc
casionally .these have been from relatives,
bat
more generally from the Orphans' Guardian Sab
bath-schools. These most thoughtful attentions
will be acknowledged and each orphan ward re
ported. It is one of the most charming features
of this National Homestead that the Sabbath
school is to such an extent the patron, and, in
deed, the guardian. The happy influence is felt
by the ward, as shown in his daily conduct.
These orphans are more religious in their temper
and tendencies than any other miscellaneous as
semblage of children embracing the same num
ber, perhaps, anywhere to be found. This favor
able difference is very noticeable in their
superior knowledge of and regard for the Bible.
Especially is this as pleasing and unexpected,when
we take into account that,they are poor orphan
children, and could not have had, in most cases,
before their entrance here, the ordinary means of
instruction, especially religious instruction. Yet
the Bible seems the chosen book: its narratives,
its doctrines, its holy lessons, find attentive listen
ers among these bereaved little ones. I believe
that much of this gracious and unaffected religi
ons turn of feeling is due to the earnest prayers
_and pious guardianship of 'lie Sabbath schools.
'There is omnipotence in the fervent, faithful, be
lieving prayer. I wculd that from every altar In
this land there might go up the fervent interces
sion for the soldiers orphan child, and the hand
of a true charity be opened generously in the little
sufferer's behalf. Humanity will hereafter feel
the happy reflex influence, and our holy religion
derive from this source earliest advocates. Our
common country will be reanimated by the spirit
of a pure patriotism, which is the birthright of
the soldier's orphan. Let the country prize and
duly strengthen this arm, which will one day be
come so strong. Let it gain by kindness, by jus
tice, this susceptible heart, and make It beat in
harmony with noble Christian fidelity, and self
sacrificing devotion to our beloved native laud.
