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*.

gcoeral regret here as In London, there is to bo a
change of representatives, and with a new season
in Paris a new Minister is to arrive. 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. Reserved sestet are for
sale to-day at 923 Chestnut street.

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
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. In .
West Philadelphia the .drifting was not luite so
heavy as It was In IllChgtOnd, but ten and twelve
feet piles are not an unusual Bight, litan!Nt . l2 ;
Germantown, Erankford; and the email
abont•the city,' all got their full 'there of

GE EAT SNOW STORM.
AFRCTIC SCENES.
STREETS AND RAILWAYS•BLOMED
DRIFTS FIFTEEN FEET DEEP.
Just before dark last evening snowflakes cern
,
meneed to fall. TheyWero little tlitY things that
melted ttl.l;abat as soon as they;thucheel the earth,
and the: good; easy souls who- thongitt that a
single Mellow made aliprlng,and Who had taken
the cetietnpassing sthaW off-their tesie-bushes be
cause there had ;been seine mild 'days, pooh
. ,
poohetthe idea that thalitUe feathery straggiera
were,Otany account whateter, or th a t the storm
would amount to anything worth minding. 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."

running time is verb irregular—on some roads
being about half an hour between each car.

of the Schuylkill or have properly on creeks to
look out for a freshet.
