P'aiiis, Friday, Jaly 10th, 1808.— With the dj Idr echoes of the American Jete of the Fourth of July, the social festivities of the Paris season of 1868 may bo said to have finally sunk to rest. The Americans were the first to begin, early in November or even in October,add they have been the last to end—in the dqg-days 1 One begins to think and to ask, what would Paris be now with out them? As I have more than once had occasion to remark of late years, the transatlantic element assumes year after year more and more im portance in this central capital, and more influ ence over the French mind in general. In the imperial circle at Court, American beauty and dress have won for themselves the foremost place amongst all foreign competitors; while in private society, Americans equally take the lead in the ton and dash, and, it must be con fessed, too, in the extravagance of fashionable life. But these ore. though by no means to be de spised, yet comparatively trifling causes of in fluenee. It ~lp impossible not to .per ceive how fast American ideas- are gaining ground in France on much higher subjects. If M. de Tocqucville were alive now, he would be flattered to see how much progress “American democracy” has made among his countrymen since his great-work was published, and in spite of the apparent success of imperialism.- But the real fact is that democracy is taking root in France, while the Empire is but a splendid pa geant, which every one feels might, “like the baseless fabric of a vision,” disappear at any moment and “leave not a rack be hind." It exists only by the favor of fortuitous circumstances, and the preponderance of mate rial force. But there is no national' faith in it; the heart of the people is not in it, and not a hand would be raised to fight for it voluntarily' and for its own sake. But democratic ideas, in the American sense, pervade every day more and more the French mind, and the nation turns its eyes naturally towards America as an example to follow now, just as it thought it was following American example in 1783 and in 1818. Let us only hope that the effort to do so will be more calm and moderate; and therefore more success ful than it has proved in the former instances. The French have hitherto thought that in order • to be like America,” they had nothing to do but to “set up a republic.” Alas! they never reflec ted that a republican “form” is nothing withoata republican “mind,” and so they found themselves utterly unable to “work" the delicate machinery oy which a really free people remains master of its own destinies. But there are better symptoms now visible, as I was going to remark, when pandered somewhat from the immediate sub ject with which I began this letter. Instead of thinking merely how to pull down one govern ment which they don't like, and set up another for which they are not fit, the FrenCh seem to be slowly and steadily imbuing themselves with American “principles," as a necessary prepara ion for American “practice”—a process which they were formerly in the habit of reversing. Al l through the present session of the Legislature, the references to American example, as I have so often had occasion to remark, have been incessant. The new law on the Press was constantly discussed with reference to what was dono and thought on the subject in America, and American authorities were as continually i|Uoted. The same was the ease with respect to the bill as to the right of public meeting; and in the discussion of the new army bill, of the rail ways, steam navigation and the finances, any reference to American method or example was always eagerly listened to by the Chamber. The organization of American armies during the war was a subject of great interest to a military na tion like the French; but above all,the disbanding of these armies has left a profound and endurable impression. M. Laboulaye, in his clever book of Paris en A merigue. was one of the first to seize and avail himsell of the genera tendency displayed by the French mind to test and compare their own customs and institutions by and with those of America; and the prodi gious sale of the ‘witty publication, and the hun dreds of editions it has gone through in this country, would' be almost sufficient of itself to prove the justice of the remarks I have made upon the increased influence of transatlantic ideas, so visible in the ranks of Parisian society at the close of the season of 1868. The Constitutionnel informs us that the adminis. tration of telegraphic lines has decided to establish a submarine cable between France and the United States, and have granted the concession to Baron Emile d’Erlanger, of Paris, and Mr. Julias Reuter, of London, for twenty yeare. It is to be hoped they may find another Cyrus Field to help them is the undertaking. The Correctional Tribunal of Paris has just sen tenced the proprietor, of the Electeur, Mr. Pas quet, and Mr. Ferry, the writer of the article en titled “Grandes Manoeuvres Electorates ,” to a fine of 5,G00 francs each, and the printer to one of 500 francs. The caution money exacted on starting the journal is security for the payment of these sums. This paper, as I before mentioned, is un der the direction of M. Jules Favre. Two Bourse speculators, an uncle and nephew, came to blows a few days since at the Exchange, and, hot satisfied with that striking proof of natural affection, indulged their... feelings in a duel with swords in the Bois de Boulogne. After a few passes the nephew was slightly wounded in the breast, which satisfied both the combatants, and the affair was brought to nn end. Two offi cers of the line were the seconds of the nephew, and those of the uncle were his clerk apd a writer .in the Charivari. It is not every one who, like the Emperor, can congratulate himself on being “the nephew of his uncle!” The Chambers are still In session and will con tinue to be so for some time to come, if the months of Messrs les Deputes are not treated like those of the canine race, which are all muzzled at this season of the year. The time lor long speeches has passed, said one of the members, the other day, as he ascended the tri. bune, and he went on for more than an hour. Even Marshal Niel, the Minister of War, has been indulging in much superfluous talk. In a recent debate he drew a picture of the virtues of ' - tEe~Cßassepbt rifle, which“might almost have ' frightened his audience, whilst it %ust also have convinced . them that su,ch “engines of i 'missive ruin” will eventually be tho best of peace?. | makers. When everybody is sure to Mil every body nqbody will be willing to fight Even the !-1 moat belligerent-monarchs-wlll not send their ar mies to certaia destruction, although they might PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1868. be as philosophical aa tbe late President Dupin himself, when be said,' in answer to a reproach of not having properly defended the prerogative of the Legislative Assembly, “If I bad bad fonr men and a corporal at my disposal, I would have sent them all to be killed for me.” The Emperor is still at Fontainblean, bntwill soon go to Plombieres. He will not be regretted by the good people of the former town,as ho pre vents strangers from going there by shutting np his beantlfal gardens. WETTER FIIOJI TBIESTG. Tbe Allocation and Us Effect in Aus tria—JUumors from Italy—flic oari daldls. [Corropondenco of thn Philadelphia EvenlnK Bulletin.] Tbikste, July 3,1868.—1 f you were to judge by the papers, you might thluk that the Papal Allocution, which bandies Austria so sharply, has produced an immense impression, yet such is really not the case either here or in any other part of the Austrian empire. Something of the kind had been expected as an answer to the con fessional laws, bnt it was expected as on imme diate rejoinder of blow for blow, while now after a month's time,when the pnblic have almost for gotten the subject, it is little more than a blow in the air. If there was any calculation In this de ]aj7irwWaTalße~one:~ deed, like a thunderstroke from a clear sky, but It came too late, and will scarcely frighten, much less hurt any one now. The importance of the struggle lay more in. the fight and victory than in the profit" to be derived from victory, for in order to gain it more surely,an easy retreat was keft open to the adver saries, and only so much was taken as was abso lutely necessary. If this was done it was less in the hope that such moderation would be appre ciated in Rome, than out of regard for the sfcru plcs of people at home. Nor is there mnch dan ger of this moderation being forgotten now, for although there are some who are crying out that the best reply to the Allocution would be to adopt the late Dr. Muhlficld’s short, paragraphic raying, “that the Concordat has ceased to exist,” they are not likely to find a ready echo. The Reicherath of Austria has had its say, and so has now the Papal See, and there the matter may rest for Eome time to come. Reports of secret enlistments in Italy having t een lately spread—the natural inference being that they were for Garibaldian purposes—the Italian Government has caused searching inqui ries to be made as to their foundation. The Min ister of the Interior has had the matter thor oughly investigated, and Is convinced that it is a mere canard, propagated by a Paris paper which pretends to semi-official sources of information, bnt in Teality is entitled to very little credit. It seems that offers were mode to enlist men for eome South American service, but that few, If any, enrollments were made. a few weeks ago a report' was spread that Prussia was going to raise a foreign legion in preparation for a war with France, and the Prus sian. Legation in Florence were so pestered with applications from pugnacious Italians ambitious to mount the black and white cockade that for a moment there was an idea at the Italian capital of giving pnblic notice that Prussia would fight for herself and needed no foreign volunteers; bat i ids was not done, because it might have given ;he thing too much importance. As for a Garibaldian enterprise there is every reason to oeiieve that nothing of the kind iB in con templation. According to the latest accounts Garibaldi was suffering mnch from rheumatism and obliged- to U6e crutches. Menotti Garibaldi is going to be married; his matrimonial expedi tion to Milan, like his father’s peace pilgrimage to Geneva, might merely be a cover for plottings and warlike designs, but there are no grounds for thinking that snth is the case. You may de pend that the Government of Italy is on the alert, and that neither an Aspromonte nor a Mentana is likely to occur while it remains in office. The Pope Visits His Army. A letter from Rome, of fuly 3d, says: “Yesterday the Pope paid a visit to his army on the plateau of Monte Cave, arriving at Rocca di Papa In a carriage at eight o’clock in the morn ing. As his Holiness entered the camp, rain be gan to fall, and was driven on by furious gusts of wind, which rose to a storm when the Holy Fa iher reached the temporary chapel, erected at great cost, in the midst of the camp. In this labric the troops assembled to hear the Pope say mass, which he accomplished nnder great difficul ties; for at that elevation the air was extremely cold,obliging him to wear his camauro, or red vel vet cap, and, ae the rain pierced the thin roof of ihe chapel, a red umbrella was hell} over his head. The white linen for the altar was retained in in its place by the weight of bullets, and the Host was placed nnder a glass clock tbade, to prevent its being carried away by the tempest. In spite of these discomforts, the Holy Father went through all the service of the mass with his usual deliberation. The troops then gathered in the middle of the camp, where the Pope mounted a scaffold, and, regardless of wind and rain, bestowed upon them his solemn benediction. General Kanzler wished him to wait for the troops to march past, but his Holiness was too fatigued, and hastened away, Intending to accomplish the descent lrom the mountain in a litter. This operation, however, proved even more fruitful of discomfort than the celebration of mass in the camp chapel, and the cover of the Utter so cramped the knees of the Holy Father i that he insisted on alighting. But he found it equally painful to walk, as the ground was sod den with rain, and the mad ankle-deep; and he •oald only proceed by catching at the rides of the soldiers who Uned the way. Finally, the jaded Pontiff reached his carriage, and was con veyed to Grottoferrata. This journey, which has been a true martyrdom for the old man, and has already produced a bad effect on his health, is said to have cost, in all its accompaniments, 00,000 francs. Fortunately the Italian govern ment has just paid into the Pontldcal exchequer 3,000,000 francs, and promises another instal ment of itß debt next week." Eongfellow In England. When Mr. Longfellow attended a public school festival on a recent occasion lie retired at a cer tain point of the proceedings at which it ap peared likely that he would be called upon to make a speech. Mr. Lowe upon this remarked that Mr. Longfellow was the' only American he had ever known who ran away to avoid speaking in public. The criticism had, of course, a basis of truth, but it was not entirely just, although it would probably be confirmed by the popular notion of the American character. Mr. Longfel low has at any rate successfully avoided speech making until last night, when Mr. Gladstone drew mm out. A complimentary dinner which was originally understood to be of a strictly private character so rapidly increased in dimen sions that it ulhmately __assumed the ■ appearance of-—a—public-^—ceremony; and only the positive interdict of the poet prevented speeches being made which mteht have satisfied the tendencies of Mr. Lowe’s ideal American, but which would have been distasteful to the New England guests. In the delightful gardens of Holland. House, or at the friendly tables of his admirers,' Mr. Longfellow “lraa had'the opportunity ofmeoting distinguished Englishmen without paying the penalty of "say- OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. icg a few words lo the company.” If he did not escape last night quite so easily, he will remem ber that it was a countryman of his own who gave the dinner, and Mr. Gladstone only obeyed » general call when be proposed Mr. Longfellow’s health. Under all the circumstances he may congratulate himself to-day that hlB modesty was not subjected to a more violent trlaL A train bad been laid which might have astonished him if he had not made a point of soliciting that the private character of the dinner might bepreserved to the end. —Pall Mall Gazette. Yesterday evening a dinner was given to Pro fessor, Longfellow by Mr. Bierstadt, a distin guished American artist, at the Langnam Hotel, Portland place. Tho occasion was of a tho roughly international character, and the attend-, once comprised some of the most distinguished' men on both sides of the Atlantic. The enter tainment itself was a brilliant one, and nothing was wanting to render it a fitting homage to the poet whose worts have become honsehola words Id England as well as in Amerlsa. The list of those present Included the Duke of Argyll, Admiral Farragut, Lord Airlie, Lord Houghton, Lord Eliot, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M. P., Lieutenant-General Sir Hope Grant, Sir William Knoilys, Sir Henry Bulwer, Sir Robert Collier, Sir Henry Thompson, Sir James Anderson, the Hon. George Waldegrave Leslie, Mr. Benjamin Moran.

Monk, M. P., Colonel Sannderson, M. P., Mr. J. Platt, M. P., etc., etc. After the dinner, which was intended to be of a private nature, there were loud calls for Mr. Gladstone, and the right honorable gentleman ultimately responded to the urgent demonstra tions of the assembly. Mr. Gladstone said he felt bound to say some thing in consequence of the glorious past which the two countries—England and tlio United States—possessed in common. It became them to break through even the restrictions which the authority of their respected host had imposed upon them, and to give vent to those enthusias tic feelings which one and all entertained on that interesting occasion. It waß impossible to sit at the social board with a man of Mr. Longfellow’s world-wide fame without offering him some tribute of aomiration. Let them, therefore, simply but cordially assnre him that they were conscious of the great honor which they did themselves in re ceiving this great poet amongst them. There was no class of persons less able to do justice to an event of that kind than those whose career destined them to tread the toilsome and dusty road of polities, and who were, therefore, too little sensible of the influences which were brought to bear upon mankind in general by the priest of the muses. Bat at the same time they were not so wholly dead to the sentiments which were naturally awakened on an oc casion of that kind as not to be glad to ren der the tribnte of hearty admiration to one whom they must regard not only as a poet, but os an American citizen. [Cheers.] They re joiced to recognize in Mr. Longfellow one of the distinguished brotherhood of letters, whom they so delighted to honor, and in whose writings they felt an especial interest, whenever any inter national event occurred to bring together repre sentatives of the literature of England and the United. States. The right honorable gentleman concluded by calling upon the company to drink most heartily and cordially, to the health, happi ness and fame of Professor Longfellow, [Loud and long-continued cheering. ] Mr. Longfellow acknowledged the compliment with great brevity, begging the company to ac cept his hearty thanks for the generous welcome which had been accorded to him. The Duke of Argyll, in response to a general call, proposed the neolth of Admiral Farragut, of the United States Navy, and Sir Hope Grant, of the British army. After a brief acknowledgment from those gen tlemen. The Rev. Mr. Cox proposed the health of Mr. Bieratadt, who, in one or two words, acknow ledged the compliment, and the company then dispersed. In the course of the evening Mr. J. L. Hatton and Mr. Chaplin Henry supplied an appropriate musical entertainment, and the latter gentleman sang Mr. LongfeUow’s “ Village Blacksmith.” Mrs. Bierstadt and several other ladles entered the room before the close of the proceedings, and the former received the congratulations of many of the guests. A likeness of the distinguished poet was at tached to the bill of fare placed before the com pany ; and a small oil picture, painted by Mr. Bierstadt, was attached to the menu especiaUy prepared for Mr. Longfellow himself, the subject of it being the “Departure of Hiawatha,” as de scribed in the concluding Unesof the paem.

POLdtTICAI*. - THE OEftHANS ON Oil ANT AND COE- 1 lie German Grant and Colfax Cam* pnlgn club to tbe German Ameri cana of me city and State of Now York. Fellow Citizens: After an eight years’ struggle at the ballot box, in Congress and on the battle field, the following question presses itself upon yonr attention: Shall peace be secured to the Re puhlic, according to the words of General Grant, by,wisely husbanding the results which events have produced ? Shall the daily life of the citi zen and the pursuits of bnsiness take up again their undisturbed course ? Shall the honor and credit of the Union be preserved? Or,on the other band, and in accordance with the programme of the Democratic party, as laid down by their can didate for the Vice Presidency, shall a new civil war be kindled, in order that all things now ex isting and anspiclously regulating themselves may be plunged into interminable chaos, to the end that the defeated enemies of the Union, and their allies, the crafty demagogues of the Demo cratic party, may again have an opportunity to doniineer over and plunder the conntiy ? Shall - thefaith-pledged " bythe rfegUbttc'W'nrcreiliiOTa' be broken, ana thus the finances and business of tbe conntiy be cngnlpbedin ruin and desolation? This Is the alternative to which in the last analysis everything that is said or done in the present strife of opinions and purposes reduces itself. Strip the kernel of tho coverings in which sophistry has disguised it, and you will find tho naked question to be simply: Shall peace and prosperity •ome to tbe Republic from tbe election of No vember next, or reaction and a new civil war ? Can there be any doubt for a moment as to what every citizen who seeks the welfare of the country should do ? Whatever differences of opinion there may be upon matters of detail, no nonest or tbonghtfnl citizen can desire the complete overthrow of the present state of things, In other words, a second rebellion. The Grant and Colfax Campaign Club of the City and County of New York, animated by the views above expressed and full of confi dence, turns to all the German-Amerlcanß of the State with the summons: “Look and exam ine for yourselves, and decide for the good of tbe Republic!” To tbe German Republicans it proclaims: “Organize! make ready for tho im pending struggle!” The Club has set itself the laßk of bringing about, so far as possible, the ef fective union oi the German Republican party of the State, and of contributing from its own means to promote activity where there Is a lack of local means. To this end, the Club has resolved that Dr. Friedrlck Behiitz, the President of its Executive Committee, and whose name is on tho electoral ticket put in nomina tion by tbe Republican Convention at Syracuse, should make a tour through tho State, with the view to bring .the Grant and Col fax Campaign Clnb of the city and coufity of New York into close connection with the German Republicans of all the cities and localities of the State. German Republicans 1 Rally to oar sup port ! Organize! Form with us a well disciplined phalanx, m order that the name of the liberal minded Germans in the coming conflict may shine forth os glorious, both in tne new and the old fatherland, as it did in tho first battle for freedom nnder Fremont. For the success of the State ticket headed by the name of the worthy, liberal John A. Griswold, every good Repub lican will work with cheerfulness and zeal. We have to care for the welfare of tho State as well us that of the Union. Let ns, therefore, Repub lican fellow-citizens, unite ourselves in a close bond of anion.

[From the Pall Mall Gazette of July XOth.l The Democratic party oppose Grant and Col fax with Ex-Governor Seymour and Genera Frank Blair. Dees any Democratic politician really expect to win with that ticket? It is prob ably "indicative rather of a sense of hopelessness on the part of the leaders than any expectation of defeating the Republican candidates. If they are to lose the day, they may as well lose It with a captain of their own opinions at their head,and not subject themselves to tho additional humilia tion of borrowing a chief from the enemy. Hod the managing Democrats seen a prospect of gaining the day with Mr. Chase they would doubtless have accepted him, „but since failure is all but inevitable, it “Is worth while to pay some regard to their consistency. General Blair did good service in the Northern armies during the war, and is fairly popular with the soldiers. But how can he contest tho ground with Grant ? Governor Seymour is a highly re spectable candidate, and If his election depended on New York State he might be the successor of President Johnson. But the West cares little about him, and the financial policy-now defi nitely advocated by the party cannot yet carry through two Weak men. What it will do by ana by, when taxation becomes a little more weari some to tbe people, it wonld he dangerous to predict. It Is plain enough, however, that we have seen the beginning of a movement destined to result in very serious consequences. [From the London Spectator of July 11th* J The Convention of the American Democratic party, held at New York on 4th July, have, after twenty-two ballots, nominated Mr. Horatio Sey mour for President.

This is, of conrae, partial repudiation, and the platform would seem to annul the nomination Mr. Seymour is a Peace Democrat, upholds slavery, and is gene rally opposed to all Bound ideas of politics; bat he is a gentleman, and nothing in his history suggests that he would assist in robbing the creditors of the State by main force. If the temptation is too great for him, and he yioldß, his opponents will nave only to raise the cry of “Grant and Honesty,” to carry tho whole country.
