LETTER FROM PARES.
teorrestendesture of the Fhthelleblita Evenitsa Bulletin.)
Penis, Trieeday, April 21, 1868.—Yesterday
morning the Corps Legislatif renewed its sit
tings after the Easter vacation, and yesterday
evening the little Prince Imperial returned to
Pad!, after big vacation trip among the. Bailors
and middies, or mouthes, as the French term them,
of Brest and Cherbourg. • Another noteworthy
fact of the same day is that 'the Emperor Napo
leon 111. thereon completed the eixtioth year of
his age, and what may • well be called the
twentieth year of his reign; for if he did not
begin actually to feign from Decemher, 1848, he
got hie toot on the first atop of the ladder on that
day, and M. Thiers might then have cried !Em
pire est fait with almost as much truth as he did
three years,aftetwards. Twenty years! It is a
long time.--fOr a French reign. And the Empe
ror Napoleon lIL is now sixty, and Napoleon
IV. (that is to be) is twelve years old.. In three
years more (if I remember rightly the terms of the
Act of Succession and the Regency bill)
the Prince will be declared of age and
associated as ninches possible with all the acts
of the Government by his father, who will thus
endeavor to seat his successor firmly in the sad
dle ere be himself saccumbe to the common lot o
humanity. That being accomplisher' (if he lives
to accomplish it), his work will then have been
done as far as he can do it, and the final result
mustrest with fate and with the fusare. 0;
course, much will depend on the character of
the son, and on his power and capacity to main
min in his own person the prestige of the Napo-
Icons. At present the effort made is evidently to
obtain for him a hold upon tun a at
of the rising generation. Here in Paris he is
enured at the Lycee or College Boaaparte, aid
made the founder of Orphau Asylums aril other
juvenile charities. He has a sort of little regi
ment of his own in the army, composed of en
fanrs tie whom he drills and puts through
their exercises; and now he has just to.t,:m sent
down to conethate the good will of the juvenile
portion of the maritime population. Ali through
his tour, she latter have, natured)
enough, played the prominent part.
You ug eitis have kissed him and pre
ss:rota him with bouquets, and gone away no
doubt believing themselves devoted imvredists.
Tise boys of the naval school* as at Brest fur iu -
stance, have said, or been instructed to say. that
they are "determined to serve him in the future
with fidelity and devotedness." AU this reads
and sounds very promising, and his mother
probably believes in it, and trusts to it for the
fate of her boy. And yet if you were to ask any
moderate and impartial Frenchman (supposing
such a thing to exist), whether he thought there
existed in France any national attachment for
this young scion and for imperial institu
tions-1 mean an attachment of such a nature
as the American people feel for their government
and their institutions—the reply would baevita
bay be a negative shake of the head. The real
truth is that imperialism has been established In
France quite as much, or more, by force of cir
cumstances and force of personal character, as
by the national will. The nation ha's accepted,
rather than chosen, the regatue under which it
lives; and the permanency ef the latter will de
pend far more upon the continuance of these cir
cumstances, and that force of character which
originally gave it birth, than upon any attempts
to excite fictitious and delusive exhibitions of
personal attachment, or antiquated displays of
loyalty.
The Consiitutionsel asserts Ina highly semi-offi
cial tone, that "not one word" on the subject of
mutual disarmament has passed between the
cabinets of Berlin and Paris. Unhappily, we have
not the slightest need of the stilted and . preten
tious utterances of the above journal, to feel con
vinced that neither France nor Prussia, nor in
deed any European State whatever, has any in
tention of abandoning the suicidal policy of an
"aimed peace." It is said that one part of the
mission of the Danish Minister of
Wsr, who was over here lately,
Was to compare practically the French
Chassepot guns with the American Remingtons,
which have been adopted by his own govern
ment. It is said, too, that the investigations of
the same 31thister, and the remarks he has made
in consequence, have produced such aiffect on
the military authorities here as to decide them
upon giving a large order for the American wea
pon. If America can not only set the example of
disarming herself, but at the same time supply
arms to Europe, who has the folly to persist in
her armaments, surely the transatlantic triumph
will be complete. Slowly, but steadily, the force
of example must tell. In England we already see
its effects, and in this country we may, ere long,
have a Legislature which will not be content
merely with admiring American institutions, but
will insist upon imitating them in spirit, at least,
if not exactly-1n form.
Viscomte Kervignen has just been acquitted by
the Correetional Police Court of his wholesale
defamation of the Paris press. The jualgracest is
universally regarded as scandalous, and
appealed against to the Court of Caseation.
A curious example has Suet occurred of the
working of the advertising system in the Parisian
journals. The custom is to farm oat their adveta
tieing columns to companies. One of these latter
has now got bold of no less than eighteen of the
chief newspapers of the capital. The other day,
its agent waited upon the managers of the Baden-
Baden gambling tables, and of the races of
that placer, and "demanded" his ad
vertisements. The answer given was that the ad
vertisement. would be arranged without .the in
tervention of the Company. Need-day the agent
again presented him elf and warned the Baden
manager that unless he -gave- immediate orders
for the advertisements and paid for them at once,
not only should none be inserted in any one of
the eighteen chief- newspapers of Paris, but that
no writer In those journals should be allowed to
insert a single line malting mention of Baden-
Baden, its tables, or its races' And it appeara
that the Company's powers extend even to
this ; for by their agreement to lease'their adver
tising columns, the journals Mud themselves
not to speak of establishments which ought to
advertise, but do not. The Baden Manager at
first refused to, give way, and said he should
economize 10,000 f.; but I hear be- has been
since obliged to knock under to this monopoly
of publicity.
A singular declaration was made yesterday at
one of the Paris Police Courts- A utp4berof
prisoners, all foreigners, were, brought up for
fighting in the streets. The row hadbeen very
considerable, um or a dozen indivhiusik, having
been engaged on each side, in the Avenue
Marigny, ono of .the most fashionable quarters
of Paris. All the culprits proved to be Scotch-
PHI, LADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1868.
men or Englishnien , and a sergent-de
ville, one of the captors, on being
questioned by the magistrate, deposed that ''he
was ready to certify, from long experience, that
fights between the Scotch and English were con
stantly occurring in the Champs Elysdes; that
the Scotch In Paris were always ready to quarru;
with the English about nothing, and that the
English were equally ready to have it out wit's
them." The magistrate expressed his astonish
ment, and said he could understand such a state
of things between English and Irish, bat was
quite at a loss to account for it between the two
classes of Britishers. Perhaps the reason in the
above case was that both , parties were equally
drunk.
Jules Fevre is to be admitted a member of the
French Academy on Thursday next. Atter ad
mission ho will have to be presented to the Em
peror at the Tuileries. The interview, one would
think, must be rather =harassing to both par
ties. • ,
The Letters From Dr. Livingstone.
The London Telegraph says:
"The promised despatches from Dr. Living
stone mentioned in dir-Roderick Murchison 's
letter, have now been received at the Foreign
Office. Interesting as every line and word must
be which thus comes to us, however, the public
must not expect too much from the documents
which are soon to see the light. The letters given
to Bunduki, the Arab trader, and brought down
by him to the coast, are, first of all, fifteen months
old. 'Bundulti' means, as all Anglo-Indians will
know, nothing else than 'son of a-gun.' It would
be the equivalent ) in African jungles, of Leather
t•tocking's tovbrzguet of 'La Longue Carabine'
upon the American prairies. The letters brought
uy BuLdukl will not be very rich in geographical
.)r ethnological details, They lefs the good Doc
:or in the open and unknown country between
Luke Nyassa and Lake Tanganyika, on the line
the be inning of which Mr. Young traced the
xplorcr s track, and was then obliged to turn
r,aek.
Dr. Livingstone would certainly strike the great
Lake Tanganyika and double its southern and
.-ttstward or westward. He would probably,in like
manner, attempt to go round toe nc,thern ex
tremity; but whether he would shape bis course
hence for Baker's Lake, or Speke's Lake, or
Zanzibar, is not and cannot be known, nor will
these letters help us much to know. If they
id, supplies and assistance would be sent : for it
s pretty certain that Livingstone must be hard
up for stores and viaticum of all African sorts,
c. , berever he be at this moment; one untoward
incident being only too certain—that he had lost
Lis medicine chest. But that he was perfectly
-tie and sound, far past the scene of his imagi
nary murder, the letters now received, if proof
were necessary, most distinctly show. Of course
Africa is not Bt. James's street in nolnt of safety
..nd comfort; but from Tanganyika Livingstone
would know his way home almost as well 4s a
groveler' from Boodle's to Charing Cross.
On the 21st of April a letter was received in
Edinburgh from Dr. Livingstone, by a friend of
!he celebrated traveler. The following are ex
tracts :
"Couerity or TIM Criterra., Nov. 10, 1866.
It has been quite impossible to send a letter
cos stivise ever since we left the Rovnma. The
Arab slave-traders take to their heels as soon as
t !hey hear that the English are on the road. lam
a perfect bugbear to them. Eight parties thus
skedaddled, and last of all my Johanna men,
frightened out of their wits by - stories told them
by a member of a ninth party who had been plun
dered of his slaves, walked off and left me to face
the terrible Mazitu with nine Nassiek boys. The
tear which the English name has struck into the
souls of the slave-traders, has thus been au incon
venience. I could not go round the nortbiend of
the lake forfear that my Johanna men, at sight of
danger, would do there what they actually did at
the southern end,' and the owners of two dhows
DOW on the lake kept them out of sight lest I
should burn theneas slavers, and I could not cross
m the middle. Rounding the southern end, we
got up Kirk's range and among Mengel:4a not
yet made elavesellers. This was a great treat.,
tor, like all who have not been contaminated by
tbat blight, they were very kind, and, having
been worried enough by unwilling Sepoys and
cowardly Johanna men, I followed my bent by
easy marches among friendly, generous people,
to whom 1 tried to impart some new ideas in re
turn for their hospitality. The country is ele
vated, and the climate cool. One of the wonders
told of us in successive Pillages was that we
-lept without fires. The boys having blankets
did not need fire, while the inhabitants, being
scantily clad, have their huts plastered inside and
out, and even the roofs, to make themselves
comfortable. Our progress since has been slow,
from other atd less agreeable causes. Some
parts have been denuded of food by marauding
Mazitu or Zulus; we have been lain to avoid
these, and gone zigzag. One we nearly
walked into the hands of a party, and several
times we have been detainekl by rumors of the
enemy in front. January, 1867. —I mention
several causes of delay. I must add the rainy
season is more potent than all, except hunger.
in passing through the Babies country we found
that food was not to be had. The Babies are
great slave-traders, and have, in consequence,
little industry. This seems to be the chiCf C41:1138 of
their having no food to spare. The rains, too, are
more copious than I ever saw them anywhere in
Africa; but we shall get on in time. February
I.—l am in Bemba or Lobemba , and at the chief
man's place, which has three stockadesi around it,
and a deep, dry ditch around the inner one. He
seems a fine fellow, and gave us a cow to slaugh
ter on our arrival yesterday. We are golugt to
hold a Christmas feast off it to-morrow, as I
promised the boys a blow-out when we came to
A place of plenty. We have had precious hard
iIIICS, and I would not complain if It had not
been gnawing hunger for many a day, and our
bones sticking through as if they would
burst the skin. When we were in a part
where game abounded, I filled the pot with a
first-rate rifle given me by Captain Fraser, but
elsewhere we had but very short rations of a spe
cies of millet called 'macro,' which passes
the stomach almost unchanged. The sorest grief
of all was the loss of the medicine box, which
youeiriend at Apothecaries' Hall so kindly fitted
up. All other things I divided among the bun
dles, so that if one or two were lost
we should not be rendered destitute of such
articles; but this 1 gave to a steady boy, and
trusted him. Be exchanged for a march with two
volunteers, who behaved remarkably well, till at
last hungry marches through dripping forests,
cold, hungry nights, and fatiguing days, over
came their virtue, and • they, made off with
'Steady's' load—all of his clothes, our plates,
dishes, much of our powder s and two guns—and
it was impossible to trace them after the
tint drenching shower, which fell imme
diately after they had left us. The
forests are so dense and leafy that one
cannot see 50 yards on any side. This loss, with
all our medicine, fell on my heart like a sentence
of death by fever, as was the case with poor
Bishop Mackenzie; but .I .shall try native reme
dies, trusting ELim who has led me hitherto to
help me fatal.' ' WwittiVe been mostly on elevated

Miln% In she N evil Indict.
The Paris Monde remarks on the slight interest
which the trial of President Johnson seems to
xcite In the United States, the whole proceed
irgs being "marked by an almost entire absence
of unexpected incident." The French writer
seems to think that the judges have already made
up their mindshew to vote, but that the numbers
are so nearly balanced that the final result cannot
be foreseen.
The Gazette des Etrangere publishes the follow
ing from :Licata written by the Empress Eugenie:
1 do not like this noise that is made respecting
my visit to Amiens. In that act there was nei
ther courage nor merit; It was only a simple duty
arising from my position, and which I am very
well pleased to have fulfilled. Do not, then,
speak to me any more of heroism. I have saved
no one, and many a poorpatient even must have
bten greatly incommoded by the preparations
made in the wards for my reception. Let us re
serve grand phrases for great acts—for example,
to extol the sublime devotedness of. the holy
women who are not satisfied with visiting the
sick during an hour, but who tend them until
health is restored or death arrives.
The Memorial Diplomati7ue reports: A letter
which we receive from Copenhagen states that
the object of the visit of General de Itaiteloeff to
Paris, was to ask the French government whether
its intention was to nee the right .of option
secured to it by treaties respecting the Island of
Saint Croix in the West Indies. M. de Raasloeff,
who for a number of years represented Denmark
at Washington, was the active negotiator of the
cession of the island of St. Thomas to
the United States. The right of resum
ing possession of the first named island,
reserved to France, prevented the arrange
ment from being so extensive as the state
of the Danish flounces rendered desirable. The
Cabinet of Washington was quite disposed to
eurchaee St. Croix as well as the other, but
wished first to be assured that it would nortm ox
posed to a difference with France. The Danish
Minister of War was therefore commissioned to
lay before the Cabinet of the Tuileries the desire
of the Government at Copenhagen to be informed
of its intentions in the matter. According to the
communication mentioned above, the General
carried back with him the assurance that the
trench government would examine the question
with the care it deserved, and that in a very short
lithe its determination would be communicated.
The suit brought by the Montmorency family
against the Prince de Tallyrand-Perigord, con
testing his right to bear the title of Duke of
Montmorency, conferred upon him by the Em
oeror, came before the Court of Cessation, in
Paris, on an appeal against the declaration of
•ncompetency made, by the imperial Court of
Paris. The Court decided that a distinction must
be made between a name and a title; that decrees
authorizing changes of the former are open to
contestation by the parties Interested; but that,
on the contrary, the conferring of a title is a
sovereign act,un act which cannot be opposed be
fore the judicial authority. In consequence,
considering that the decree of the 14th May,
1864, conferred not the name of Montmorency,
but the title of Duke, which is very different, the
court rejected the appeal.
BUCKlAGillialli PALACE.
,•
Arrest of Supposed Filis lan s Ith Greek,
Fire Rear cue Palace—Fight with' the
Fence.
fFrom the London Star, of April f.'2.)
At an early hour on Tuesday morning informa
tion was received by the authorities at Scotland
yet& that during the afternoon a quantity of
Greek fire would be conveyed from the city side
to the neighborhood of Pimlico. Accordingly,
plain-clothes officers were stationed in that
part of Pimlico which is close to Backinghaua
Palace. having orders to stop and question all
suspicious-looking persons who might be seen
conveying any mysterious brindles or, packages
in the direction of Pimlico. Several of those of
ficers extended their ground of observation along
and around the palace railing, watching par ties
coming from the direction of the Mall, as well as
from Birdcage-walk. Sergeant Langley and
Constable M'Donnell were of the party, and
about half-past eight in the evening they saw
thrt c men of the laboring class carrying, or
rather dragging along a large and apparently
heavy hamper close to the palace, on the Pimlico
side. The lights at this portion of the park near
the Palace, unlike the more dangerous parts,
are very numerous, and the officer& had
full opportunity of watching the movements of
the three men. The latter laid down the hamper
frequently, changing sides, talked, looked up at
the Palace,then went on, and then laid theitamp
er down again. All this helped to make up the
minds of Langley and M'Donnell that all' was far
from being right; and probably' having the dearly
bought lesson taught by Clerkenwell—that delays
are dangerous—before their eyes, they at once went
up to the men and asked them their names, busi
ness and destination. Unsatisfactory replies were
given, and, after a little parley, the officers seized
the men—M'Donnell taking one ; and Langley
two. A fierce struggle ensued; the men attacked
the police with desperate violence, and the latter
as desperately held their prisoners. Sergeant
Langley knocked down one of the men with a
blow, which had the 'effect ofgivieg him a chance
of escape, which ho was not slow to profit
by, and scampered off, as fast as
his leg 9 could carry him. The other two
men were secured, and, with assistance,
brought to King Street Police Station, Westmin
ster. The hamper was also brought to the sta
tion. It was found to be eased with tin, water
proof, and.nearly filled with water. In the water
were two large jars or bottles, containing what,
upon examination, proved to be Greek fire. The
prisoners, when at the station, refused to give
their names or any account of themselves.
They are poorly-clad Melt laborers. No
charge was entered against them on the charge
sheet, pending instructions from Sir, Richard
Mayne.
Martial Law In Tennessee—&n Appeal
to Governor Brown
The Knoxville Whig, Golcrnor Brownloir's
journal, contains the follow g:
We present an importan document belOw.
The Governor prepared the first draft of a proc
lamation, covering the whole ground in this
matter, the week before this Congressional docu
ment was ,received. He is pleased, however, to
be backed np, in , his views and , purposes with
such a document as this. The late Militia Ac
reduced the pay of privates and officers so lo -
that men could not serve. It is not the purpos ,
of the Governor to call out troops under this act
but to call out otherwise, and to rely upon the
loyal people of the State to sustain' him :

The community must be protected at all

you, so far as our counsel can do it, from the im

Chase and Tilton—The Chief Justice
_ .
Alakes a Declaration.
Mr. Theodore Tilton's attack upon Chief Jus
tice Chase has elicited a letter from Mr. W.
Brown, who, in the Lexington (Ky.)" States - man,
nays he had frequent interviews with Mr. Chase
during the month of April, and claims to be able
"to imlicate his position with positive certainty."
On the 17th ult. Mr. Brown called on Mr. Chase,,
and what follows we give in the former's own
Fords;
"Very soon atter I entered the room, the Chief
Justice asked me If I had seen the article. To an
affirmative answer he replied : 'Mr. Tilton has
cone me great injustice. He came to my house
under the garb Of friendship, and I talked freely
to him. old him what 1 had often told you,
that I must be an upright judge, and my judicial
duties prevent my being as available a candidate
of the Republican party as other men in its ranks.
This is all I Enid to him, and his additional state
ments were unauthorized by me. They may
have been honest conclusions, but I gave no
grounds for them.' After some further conver
sation the same evening; he remarked: '1 am a
thorough Radical, but lain no extremast.' "
Mr. Brown says that the Chief Janice holds
firmly to three cardinal ideas: universal suffrage,
universal amnesty, and the maintenance of the
public credit. On the financial question, Mr.
Chase said to his visitor:
"If I bad control of the government I would
resume specie payments to-morrow. I could .do
it successfully, for our credit Is unlimited. Indi
viduals could not long afford to keep their gold
idle or in an unproductive form. Under my
policy they could loan It for more than green
backs, and ita purchasing power would be no
greater."
The writer concindes by saying that Mr. Chase
knew nothing of his intention to publish the sub
stance of the several interviews.
Miss Edith Abell's Debut.
Opera goers have been mildly excited for a few
dela past, over the announcement that a new
aspirant for the honors of the lyric stage would,
last evening, make her first plunge into that sea
of art which has wrecked so many adventurers,
while it has carried others on to fame and for
tune. Anticipator was more eager because the
whisper had gone around that the debutante would
leave an elevated social circle to step upon the
stage, and rumor had accredited her with powers
so excellent that it was believed the loss
to society would be an immense gain
to art. While it is true that rumor
in this instance partly retains its characteristic
exaggeration, it is also true that the expectation
was in some measure realized. The :Bohemian
Girl was presented last evening at the Academy
of Music. The occasion was Mr. Castle's benefit.
A very large audience was present, and as the
curtain rose upon the second act, the curiosity of
the audience was manifested in a buzz of expec
tation. Miss Edith Abell, the debutante, lay
stretched upon the conch. Theoretically she was
asleep; practically, we have no doubt that her
heart palpitated almost audibly, and she
was keenly sensitive to the horrors of
the situation. As she, arose to greet "'Thad
deus" a Philadelphia andience for once forgot
its churlish coldness and fairly overwhelmed her
with applause. The hearty good will with which
she was received must have convinced her that
every heart represented by that multitude of up
turned faces, was warm with kindly sympathy
for ber,apd that her faults would be pardoned as
readily aS her real merit acknowledged. "The re
ception was creditable to the humanity and good
nature of those who tendered it.
Miss .Abell Is an absolute blonde, petite In per
son, and with a fine figure—displayed to the
utmost advantage last evening by an exquisitely
tasteful costume ; she is graceful and vivacious,
with a certain piquant simplicity of manner that
completely won over every surly cynic in the au
dience who had not a pre-determination to be
pleased. Of Miss Abell's qualifications for the
position she has assumed in the lyric drama,
there can be no doubt, after her performance mat
evening. Under any circutristances,—even if she
had displayed but little ability, it would hardly
be fair to condemn her upon a first hearing.
Something would be due,to courtesy as well as
to honest tact. But the debut was emphatically a
success, and the most careful critic would not
find his rigid desire for veracity at war with his
good nature.
In the first place, Miss Abell displayed hLs-,
trionic powers of such a high character that it
was difficult to free the mind from the impression
that she must have bad experience at least in this
branch of her newly accepted art. In some few
instances there was observable a stiffness and
want of ease; but for the moat part the novitiate
acted with grace and power, and, if indeed, this
be her, "that appearance on any stage," she gave
evidence of the possession of ability as an actress
which experience will develop far beyond that
belonging to the majority of the lyric sisterhood.
There were one or two stage tricks which might
have been dispensed with to advantage, but time
and larger opportunity will doubtless suggest
such an improvement, and the performance, as a
whole, is worthy of warm praise.
Miss Abell's voice is a pure soprano; sweet,
\ itexible, welt-trained, and of considerable coin-
Tri the song "I dreamt that I dwelt in Marble
Halls" a certain roughness was perceptible, but
i
this s wholly attributable to the very natural
agitation occasioned by a first attempt to sing
before the footlights. As the performance pro
ceeded her yoke became more and more pleasing.
and in the latter part of the last act its
finer qnalities were entirety obvious., Mi
Abell's voice is rather light, lacking power,
but this quality will come with time
and practice. Upon the whole she has grest
reason to be proud of her, success,• and to sage
