LETTER FROM PARIS. [Correspondence of trio Philadelphia Evening Battetin.l PARIS, Tuesday, March 3d, 1868.—The pacific language with which the King of Prussia termi nated his speech on the closing of the Parliament at Berlin, has prOduced a marked improvement In the public feeling of Europe; and it may be said now that the apprehension of "war In the spring," which so long haunted us, has almost disappeared for this year at least. The King ex presses his "conviction" that the "public con fidence" is now established on a' "solid, basis.' Perhaps his Majesty means that France and Prussia have both carried warlike prepara tions to such a point that the force of armaments can no further go; and so both parties are now content to sit still and look at each other from this "solid basis," alike afraid and unwilling to be gin a conflict of which the result must be utterly unappreciable., If so, the position Is not exactly one of mutual confidence, though it may be one of mutual fear, and may answer the same purpose, so far as it binds over both parties to keep the peace. But at what a sacrifice is a peace so purchased attained, and what an ideatoes it give one of the boasted "European system," and the policy of the "bal ance of power !" There may, indeed, be a bal ance of power under such a system, but it will be long before there is a balance of accounts. Peace and debt will soon be synonymous terms among among European governments. Here wo aro in France, amidst what all are just agreeing to call "profotiltd peace," and what are the subjects with which the Chamber of Representatives is just about to occupy itself? Why, first, the vote of 100,000 conscripts for the army, to be drawn from the pith and mar row of the youth of the country; next, a loan of 490 millions, to be expended exclusively in the payment of past and future military and naval preparations; and lastly, a budget of very nearly two thousand millions of francs, yet showing do'n'ells in almost every department Such arc the "blessings of peace" in inperial France; and they are blesaings which bear every promise of increasing rather than diminishing. Prince Napoleon has started on a tour in Ger many. Of course it was immediately , rumored that he had a political minion; and of course also the genii-official press contiadicte.d the rumor. As usual, thetruth lies, I believe, in the mean. The Prince has no special minitiotr nor precise object in view. Bnt the tour is a mission in itself. The Prince goes with the consent, if not deaire,of the Exuperor,to manifest at once and cultivate good feelings towards and with Ger _many on_thepart of_France;—to_ induce_people to think and say. Oh! the Emperor's cousin would never have gone to visit and receive the civilities of thepeople and sovereigns of Germany, if there had been any thought of going to war withthem. This, I have reason to believe, is the real object of the Prince's journey, and no other. Ills scarcely neceatiry for me to call the attert-' don of your readers to the changed tone'of the British press on the subject of the Alabama claims. Yet one can hardly refrain from ex pressing one's satisfaction at each an article as that, for instance, published by the last Satur day Review, when commenting on Mr. Bowen's pamphlet. The justice of the claims is thee broadly and freely admitted, and, what is more, are asserted to be now admitted by a large ma jority of the British people. The letters of "His toricue," in the Tinses,are pronounced with truth to prevent only a clear technical and legal defence, but in no degree to touch the real merits of the case. It has always struck me, moreover, that there is one point in the matter at issue which has been either wholly overlooked or never suf ficiently insisted on, which is this : If the Alabama escaped fraudulently and against the wishes of the British Government, and in violation of its desired neutrality, why were not British ships immediately sent after her to retake her?—why did not those ships join the American navy throughout in the pursuit?— and why were not all British ports closed at least to the Alabama, if not to other Confederate vessels? Such action alone could prove the bona fides of the British Government in the affair in question. But the British people are evidently coming to their senses, in spite even of the Times. The beet friends of America in this coun try are dellghted to see that such is the case: and are anxiously hoping that the cessation both of internal conflicts at Washington and external dif ferences with England will speedily show the -Anglo-lhixon-rum-one...4zzore-fultilling-its-dcatlay— as the disseminator of liberty and civilization throughout the world. A curious example occurred the other day of the sort of "liberty" enjoyed by the people of this country. A drama called Le Vengeur was written to celebrate the incident of the French vessel or war of that name, in a combat with the English, going to the bottom with all her crew, shouting Vise la Republique, rather than strike her flag. The drama was highly approved, and accepted at the Chfitelet Theatre. But the manager did not dare to let his company cry Vice la Republique without leave. And yet to leave it out, or cry something else, was to mar the whole point of the piece which was in Repbblican times. In this dlllienity the Emperor was applied to, and his Majesty was pleased moat graciously to accord his permission to the company of the Chatelet to shout Vise la Republique with Impunity for 'this particular occasion. Upwards of eight hundred persons were present at the last reception of General Dix, to which I before briefly alluded, given In celebration of the 22d February. Amongst the most distinguished foreign guests were M. Ronher, the Minister of State, with Ida wife and daughter; alio, M. de Monstier, Mthister of Foreign Affairs, similarly accompanied. Also, M. and Mme. Michel Oh - Taller; Id. Frevoat Paradol, of the Debate, and Gustave Dore. Among the English guests were Lord Lyons and Mr. Milner Gibson. As to Am,- ricans,these were too numerous to mention, col*. posing as they did twiAldrds of the assemblage. Amongat ,the npmerone ftagaorhieh, -wit[ the portrait of WaslOngtog, decoratedtheardoons of the Minister was one :deserting of spode' men tion, as being the beSutifal banner preaented to General Dix by Miss Eltidget, of New Eork, * and under, which was written the famous order of General Dix at the beglining of the ware ,ityf any man attempts to tsar down Ibis flag, shoot 'him on the spot." . The . hearity ot the banner and Its motto attracted the eyes of all foreign' visitors to them throughout the evening, and many shines were explanations demanded a nd given of rifle origin of, 'Only 'driwtiack to file Pleiiettree,r And hospitalitbyktof - the evening was thelinPression that it was the last of these favorite - feristionster the Season; avtidso, it appears the last of those to be given by Gene ral and lire.

No soirees throughout the winter have been more attractive than those of which I speak, and the last, if It is to be the last, was certainly a crowning success. The only bat costume given this season in Paris was at an American's house, at Mr. Downing's well known residence in the Avenue de l'lmpera trice. The American. Minister was present In uniform, with Mrs. and Mien Dix as an Andalu sian lady and Marguerite, and a vast concourse of natives and foreigners of every nation. BIBS. HER BLIVIS THIRD READING• /Sri. this d reading was given at Con cert Hall ,last evening, and was, possibly, the most etjoyable of the series. Much Ado About Nothing was the drama interpreted. Of all of Shakspeare's comedies this is, if not the finest, at least the moat popular. It has enjoyed this dis tinction ever since Shakspeare's time, and at catty period has been a favorite play far repre sentation open the stage. The reasons for this axe various. The comic and tragic element are agreeably mingled throughout; at least two of the situations—that in which Hero is foully accused at the altar, and that in which Claudio discovers her apparent return to life—are in tensely dramatic; the wit is of the most elevated and refined description; there is such scrupulous fidelity to, and exquisite inter pretation of nature; and it contains two personages, Benedick and Beatrice, who, al though not directly necessary to ,the elaboration of the plot, lend to the drama a vivacity and sprightliness which relieve it of its otherwise sombre character. Critics have disputed as to the dispositions of these two persons. One minent writer, without•warrant, calls Benedick woman-hater," and assumes. Beatrice to have been without thought or design of love in the early scenes of the play. But it is more rational to accept . the theory, that between the two, from the beginning, there was a mysterious and tin s comprehended sympathy, and that the eharp in tellectual combats in which they engage, and in shish Beatrice, with skillful tongue and the kid perceptions of a woman, invariably comes off triumphant, were but the crude expressions of this feeling. If either had hated or disliked the other, there would lot have been sufficient interest on either side to have induced them to select each other from the multitude as the target for good-natured raillery. This theory will gain credence when it is remembered with what readi ness each discovers the existence of that flamtsof love in their hearts when the spark is applied by their scheming friends. There is further proof, too,-in the passiortatei half sorrowful, half goods humored witticisms of Beatrice, when, bathed in tears, she urges Benedick to avenge the wrong dote to her cousin. Here the old spirit of wickedness, tempered by love for its victim, and by grief, shines through her tears,and proves her, though a wit, to be a true woman. The banter- Ire humor was only the maak behind which these two disguised their true selves, and aimed sturdy blowa, partly understood by both, at each other. Of the truth to nature,'evident throughout the play,it Is not especially necessary to speak. The LIScA most exquisite touches are those in which Benedick figures, first, when he has fled from the keen tongue of the masked Beatrice. and ques tions whether ho has not been misunderstood by his friends, whether he lacks appreciation, and whether the fair Beatrice, mistaking his raillery, has not regarded him merely as an empty jester; and secondly, where Beatrice having simply called him to dinner, he, like a true lover, tries to torture her language into a sugges- Svettess entirely foreign to it. These are the rare jewels of the play, but it is strewn thick with gems hardly less brilliant. With her magnificent reading of this drains, Sirs. Kemble contrived to hold her audience spell bound for two boors last evening. One by one she took up the characters, from the intellectual sprightly, witty Beatrice, to the inane, super annuated' Verges, and through the medium of her genius, presented them to her hearers with all the roundness, the life-like reality of stereos copic pictures. It is difficult to tell which, of all of them, was the best. The palm lies, probably between Benedick and Beatrice. These, despite their irrelevancy to the 'story, are the leading characters of the play, and Mrs. Kemble drew them both with an intensity at once vivid and remarkable. The interview between Beatrice and Benedick after the scene at the church, where the former urges her lover to kill Claudio, was perhaps themostssffsetivespassage - in - MnK - Kenz,- ble's rendition, and it provoked heartiest ap plause from the audience. But the distinction is' , ,emewhat arbitrary. The whole entertainment was so excellent that it is difficult to point to any single episode, and say positively that this was the best. Dogberry could not have been improved upon very well. The stories fabricated for the benefit of the two hidden lovers were told with matchless shill. Hero was very lovely, and the subject.of much sympathy and tender sorrow. Leonato played his part excellentiy; end Clan.dio was as real as if we had seen him walk in flesh and blood upon the stage—more natural indeed because better interpreted than we have seen him a hundred times upon the stage. We will have to be guided then In our judgment, in some de gree, by our sympathies, and in the audience last night these were given in a large measure to the antagonistic lovers. Certainly the most Wadi ono admirer of Shakespeare 'could not have de sired a more faithful and beautlful presentation of these two characters than that given by Mrs. Kemble. Next Week Mrs. Kemble will read ring John, Tweifth Night, Merchant of Venice and Hamlet, in regular succession, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Bnt it was the morning that brought into fall view what the storm had been at during the night, and what it was still at, for the flakes came down as though they were as fresh as ever, and had no thought of giving it up while there was a cloud to draw from or room upon the surface of the earth for one more glittering crystal. It would be bard to tell what depth of the frigid material fell upon a level, for the wind had no agragrian notions whatsver, and no such thing as a level was for a moment thought of. The blast which came from tbe Northwest, seemed to fairly revel in the excitement of the thing, and it whirled around corners, got, up reollan whirlpools, and maelstroms went back upon itself in the most extravagant way like some strong dancer in the agony of the "Can uan," and anon the boreal mad cap would rush sod denly upward toward the sky, carrying with it great clouds etf snow as though It was bent alike upon defying the laws of gravitation and inter fering with the serenity of city railway people. Under these circumstances drifts becomes a weak an‘inefticient word to convey an idea of just shat the snow and the wind accomplished between them. Bush banking in of doorways, such piling into back yards by the cart load, nch sweeping one roof as Clean as a floor to cover neighboring shingles a yard or two in depth, and such a general piling up snow, without regard to rhyme or reason, as is but rarely seen. The snow was of the moist and perishable kind, that loves to cling to ail objects that it touches, and houses and trees were hung with fantastic and /graceful wreaths. The pen utterly fails to do justice to the scene,and nothing but the magic camera could satisfactorily depict the strange sights. The fronts of stores and dwellings were literally snowed in, particularly upon the south and east sides of the streets. Every projecting point bore its burthen of snow, every architectural ornament upon buildings making a pretence to elegance was tipped with white, and the most beautiful, the most fantasti cal and the most grotesque effects were COll - produced. In some instances beautiful objects were made almost ridiculous by the clinging snow, while the commonest things were renuered beautiful by the sparkling flakes that made no distinction between palace and hovel millionaire and beggar. Ornamental railing, arbors and lattice Work were particularly beau Will while covered with the all pervading ma terial, and the frost-artist made huge designs in the snow work with a delicacy of tracery that might be envied by the most skiliftd worker .in lace. The trees along the curbstones ' and in the public squares, were grand in their win try dress. • Each naked trunk, branch and stem had its garniture of snow, and beauty was scattered around with a lavish hand. Moving objects is the streets came in for their share of the now -coating t nature_Aptstso itnp ra gy_ bestowrsg upon a I out-door objects. The car riage could scarcely be distinguished from the cart, the sorriest nag was as bravely attired in white as the blooded steed, and the vagrant car looked almost as much like a Southdown sheep as he did like a dog. This was the grand perplexing problem of the time, and business men took a post-prandial look out upon the chances for succesalul street navi gation with feelings of concern and doubt. City rallwaT cars were almost as scarce as honest men were m the days of the cynic, and the conviction was generally ultimately reached that boots were the only_ available vehicle for the inevitablejourney. How the task was ae. complidhed every one who was compelled to go through the ordeal will understand, and all will remember the adventure, with its struggling(' through unbroken snow-drifts, its getting coated from head to foot in an armor of snow, and the final reach of the door of office, store or Count ing -house, panting like a tired dog, with beard and whiskers whitened like a patriarch's and shedding enow drops at every rustle of thear ments, as trees shed their blossoms in May. Truly, it was , a morning to be remembered. - The stron g g wind which prevailed through the whole night, cabs' s' ill very hem drifting. Some parties were absolutely obliged to get out by the parlor windows, or to dig holes through the snow-banks from their doorways to the middle of the street. The wind, which whistled and howled all night, shiftei several timed, and of course this .changed the character of the drifts. Some of 06'811 . 048 got more snow than others; but, as a genaral thing, in the built-up portions of the city the snow has kept pretty level. In the rural notions, however, where the wind had a clear aweep„. there were. mountains of q.snoW.- la, Wanly - 40k 3Vard iv in. moral places.. the piles were a least fifteen feet` in height. Early • risers in Richmond had. great difficulty, in breaking paths, and ' as th e eve were unable to inn, theta% who had business in the lower part of•the city. had the very disagretui. ble task of "footing ii"lipposed upon them.

AFRCTIC SCENES. STREETS AND RAILWAYS•BLOMED DRIFTS FIFTEEN FEET DEEP. Just before dark last evening snowflakes cern , meneed to fall.

But like a sentient thing that had an object to attain, and was going to "light it out on that line" until it was attained, the storm "hammered away" until the proprietors of the rose-bushes aforesaid grew almost as pale wlth - apprefiension as their floral pets had grown under the inflbenee, of the storm. Boon after dark thet,rxsttil flakes commenced to come down In good earnest, whitening streets and roofs, and driving all who happened to be abroad and who could accom pbsh it, to seek the shelter and conveyance of cab or railway car.- By midnight the storm was in full blast, the snow descending in perfect clouds, and the wind howling '`as it would have blawn its last." Light sleepers a ere kept awake by the slamming of shutters, the railing of eash, the roaring of the wind in nooks and crannies, and by the furious driving of the snow , against window-panes. Where the window-panes were sound and where blinds and curtains shut out the aggressive air, the storm was rather a good joke to the inmates who were so well housed, bat to the homeless and needy there was no joke at all about it; it, was a grim r( alit; that brought with it apprehensions of "the woll at the door, ' the dread of more suffering and more privation. "A pleasant tuna the North wind hums. V hen that's without and you're Within." THE SCENES THIS MORNING. GETTING " DOWN TOWN." THE_ Dawn. Franitford branch no cars are running. The Germantown cars are not running on the upper portion of the line. At present writing all the leading lines have succeeded In gettidg their !racks sufficiently cleaned to permit of the passage, of the cars, with four horses to each car; it is a pretty heavy pull, however, and the running time is verb irregular—on some roads being about half an hour between each car. • THE - { , IIAINE AND TILE MAILS. Travel upon the railroadp leading into the city has been Pomewbat interfered with. The Phila delphia, Germantown and Norristown railroad was cleared at an early . hour this morning and the trains are all running on time for Norris. WWI), Germantown and Chestnut Hill. The North Pennsylvania trains suffered some detention, but are all running. On the Camden and Amboy road the Trenton train was a little behind time this morning, but the through New York trains were delayed about an licrai behind - time. On the Pennsylvania Railroad no trains have arrived this morning, and those which left the depot got blocked up when some distance out side of the city. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore trains are greatly detained. On the Philadelphia and Reading road the trains are running with but little detention.
