woman's right conventions, but to maintain that

and letling in the woman, the essential unity of
the human tool must not be forgotten. Renee

The answer to the question must vary with
different temperaments and situatious; bat there
are some things which, broadly speaking, most

upon a broad, generalized basis, has a demand
upon the attention of every human being. It

under what laws he lived,what conventionalities

philosophic mind. They derscrioe human action

are the generators of what to distinctively termed
polite literature. They are the novelists anu es;,,

a profound puzzle. The age, however, that has

EMM)PEAN AFIPAJBM
LETTER, FROII PA.EtIEN
(Correerondtnee et the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin)
PARIS, T uesday, Jan. 12, 1868.—As was to be
rapfcted, the air Is every day filled with rumors
of what occurred at the only sitting of
the Turco-Greek Conference which has
yet taken place. To read the assertions,
Indeed, of many of the minor Journals
of Paris, one might suppose that each of them
hod secured a place for its own "special cor
respondent" at the green cloth of the Councli
table. There is little faith to be put In the gene
rality of the assertions which have been
thus given to the public, and many of which
will very likely be transmitted to yon by tele
graph. One incident, however, gbtaina credit
from its high probability; rather than from any
authority on which It Is based, and that is the
act that the first step taken by M. Ritangabo, the
Greek representative, with only 'consultative
voice, was to demand that he should , be placed
on an equality with Turkey in the Con
ference, and have the right of . voting
as well as listening and giving infor
mation. And one does not in fact see why this
distinction between Greece and Turkey should
nave been made at the beginning, nor 'why the
accusing and accused parties should not have
been brought face to face 'owl the same footing;
for the real position undoubtedly is that Turkey,
in this matter, brings Greece to the bar of ptiblio
opinion in Europe fur having, in breach of Inter
national law, encouraged insurrection in a por
tion of her dominions. But I abstain
from discussing difficulties which after
perhaps, may never have arisen
attiously at all, or will be sure to have been
nettled, one way or the other, almost before you
can bear of them. I simply repeat my conviction
that this matter will be arranged, or at any rate
patched up for the time being, were it only for
the reason that no power thinks it its cue to
dent at the present moment, either on the banks
.ff the Rhine or the shores of the Black Sea. I
.1111 tar, however, from prophesying that this
-MEW cause may not draw oceans of blood at
come future day.
Let us turn to matters which have great actu
dity and bearing upon all each questions as the
above, because, in reality, they carry the chief
weight in their decision. I mean money matters
ind the condition of the finances of this Empire.
We have jut bad the report of the Minister of
iinance, M. Magne, published in the columns
of new official journal. The document is
tropic enough, and amounts, in tact, to no
more than this, viz,: that the imperial
treasury having borrowed 429 millions In
1868, is able 4o put a pretty fair face upon
the accounts of 1869-70. By the help of the
last "opening of the Grand Livre"(an ornamental
French expression for getting further into debt)
the principal leeway of the last three or four
years has been brought up; and M. Magne is
even able to show some scraps of surplus "reve
title" (L e. of borrowed money) at the close of
the account of 1867-8. They amount, indeed,bot
ice a few millions-83; in the former and somo'
millions in the latter year—but still they are OD
the right side. A better sign for actual and bona
fide revenue is the announcement of
an increase of thirty millions in
the receipts of indirect taxation for the
atter portion of the past year. Still, on a budget
of more than one thousand seven hundred mil
lions for 1869, M. Magne's surplus, and that only
an "estimate" surplus,amounts to no more than
381,000 francs ! It is only when he gets into the
terra incoynita of 1870 that the Minister ventures
o predict, fur the close of that still distant time
of reckoning, an excess of income of eighty-six
millions; and even that molest calculation is
°edged by the precautionary reflection that "it
is certain these results may be exposed to un
foreseen modifications." What is most evident
then of all, from the above financial statement, is
the highly important fact that France has not in
reality a single reliable dollar of surplus cash,
and that to make war she must do it entirely
upon credit, and run at once into unfathomable
depths of war indebtedness. This state of thing s
is no absolute guarantee for peace, but it Is car_
minty a powerful safeguard against any mere
reckless war undertaken on less grounds than
those of public necessity. And so the Minister
ends his report very properly by remarking how
'necessary peace is to the country," and how
'loudly public opinion applauds the efforts of
his Majesty to preserve it."
We are now in4he season of balls and soirees,
and public and itivate entertainments and recep
tions. Paris is very full, and by gerkral acknow
tedgment, fuller of Americans than anything else
Our people, male and female, literally swarming,
are to be met in crowds, in-doors and oat-of
doors, at Court balls,in ministerial salons,and on
the promenade in the Bois. One of
the last arrivals is Mr. Burlin
teams and his suite, or as some call it,
Ws menagerie, and who together have created no
small sensation. Bat the spectacle of an American
citizen, or of one who was an American citizen,
.eadieg the once mysterious Chinese Empire
about the world, has contributed not a little to
increase American prestige and the high Idea
entertained of the part which the United States
is destined one day to play in the remote East.
The first American house at which the Chinese
party were received and handsomely entertained
was that of one of our oldest and best-known
residents, Dr. Thomas Evans, who assembled a
large concourse of guests to meet the
strangers at his handsome villa la the
avenue de l'lmperatrice, where, it need scarcely
be sold, they proved the "lions" of the
„evening
for all who were present. In a day or two Mr.
Burlingame and his suite will be received of
ficially, and with considerable ceremony. by the
Emperor and Empress. They were also to have
been present last night at the first grand ball of
the Hotel de Ville, but that event was postponed
by the demise of the venerable mother of the
Prefect of Pails, at the age of four-score and five
years. One of the features of the present sea
son, and also a sign of the times, r is the promi
nent part which the Prinz° Imperial
now begins to take in public life. On
New Year's Day the entire Court circle and all
public functionaries for the first time made their
"(Bickel" calls at the Prince's private apartment
in the Pavilion Fiore. His Highness is also now
present at the grand levees given at the Tuileries;
and is, I understand, shortly to take his place at
the'Counell of Ministers, with his father and
mother, and begin'to learn the "art" of govern
ment. The Prince Napoleon is lli of cold and fe
ver at his chateatrat_Toieud p romitutabie at,pree

Bombardment of Ltlalaga—Firing on
the United Male's flail.
Mannth, Jan. 10, 1869.—The bombardment of
the town by the ships of war and the castle of
CAW - alter° was commenced and carried on with
out due notice. General De Rodas sent notice to
the Swedish Consul at three o'clock of the after
noon before the bombardment was to begin. Ho
was requested to notify the other Consuls, but he
declined, returning the notices with the remark
that he was not a poet-office or a porter.
The English and Belgian Consuls did not re
rc their notices before nine o'clock at night,
and the firing was to begin at daylight in the
morning. it was too late to remove their fami
lies or to notify their countrymen of the dangers
that awaited them, as the streets were too dan
gerous to be entered after dark.
The American Vice Consul, Mr. Geary, know
nothing of the notice until the action had com
menced. The Americans in town were thus left
to look out for themselves and to escape as beat
they might.
There were two American families In the city—
Mr. and Mrs. Codman and child, _of Boston, and
tiev.'Mr. Hall, wife and child. The latter were
in the Hotel Victoria and the former in their
iesidence-, in the Calle de Alamos. No notice had
eters given Captain Blake, of the &Mara. of the
proposed bombardment, and he was greatly sur
prised when the firing was opened. He deter
mined, however, to send a boat ashore to rescue
the two families and to bring off the Consul if
possible. Master Newell was sent ashore with a
ling and proceeded safely to the Hotel Victoria,
where Mr. Hall and his fatuity were Mend., Mr.
Corneae's family were living some distance off
and there were ten or . twelve barricades betwee
them and the hotel, so it was not deemed
p.rudent to go after them. The nationals cheered
the flag in the most enthusiastic manner, and of
fered a guard to escort the party down to the
quay. .For obvious reasons this offer was de
clined; but three of the volunteers were accepted
to carry the liaggage to the boat. The party had
reached the mole and were crossing under the
Custom House abed when the soldiers in the
water battery fired a volley of musketery, which
quick!) scattered it. Mrs. Hall and her child took
neltcr behind an Iron derrick on the wharf,bnt
company cf soldiers from the Custom House,op
dosite, sent in another volley of balls, and the
party then left tht , tr baggage and made a rush for
be boat. .
The nationals at the end of the Alameda, seeing
the party used upon, blazed away at the little
battery in turn. In all the firing fortunately none
of the Americans were hurt, though they were
uttween a cross fire. The three nationals who
bad accompanied Mr. Hall with his baggage,
droiped that and. standing bravely up, fired in
return like brave men that they were. This went
on for about five minutes when a party of car=
bineros sallied out from tho little battery,captnred
one of the nationals and shot him on the spot,
All this occurred in sight of the deck of the Swa
tara, lying pistol shot off. It was hard work for the
captain to restrain his men from manning the bat
teries and shelling the cowardly troops out of
their stroughold for their insolence in firing on
the American flag protecting women and chil
dren. The party finally got out to the ship in
safety. In the afternoon Commander Blake re
received a note from General Paiva, apologizing
for the Metric, accusing the nationals of having
begun the fire, which was utterly false, and con
eluding .by stating "that in revenge he Immedi
ately shot the offenders and took sit barricades."
The 'abandoned baggage was also handed over.
This; then, is the precise statement; the troops,
not the nationals fired on our flag,
and the general and the authorities lay
the blame on the nationals, one poor fellow of
whom, who was aiding the American party to
escape, was killed to avenge the honor of the flag
outraged by the soldiers themselves. This is
only one specimen of the official style of lying
that has been adopted in Spain. At one time the
musketry fire was so hot about the Swatara that
steam was got up to move out of the way; but
the scene of the conflict shifting it was unneces
sary. No one was injured on the Swatara. The
New Year's dinner in the wardroom went off in
fine style, notwithstanding the noise and confu
sion ashore.
Greek, Residents in the Ottoman Em
pire.
A letter from Varna of .the 25th December states
that in consequence of orders sent to Constan
tinople by the King of the Heilenes to the Con
sul of Greece, the latter had lowered his flag and
warned his countrymen that thy ought to pre
pare to quit the country. The Greek colony
there is, by the importance of its members,
by their fortune and by the rank they occupy,
one of the first in the empire. They immedi
ately called a meeting to draw up a petition to
the Sultan, in which they ask permission to
n main In Turkey,offering to submit to all the
obligations which may be imposed upon them by
the administration. Tins proceeding has been
reit received at Constantinople, and until the
question is finally settled they have beengranted
an unlimited delay. Also from Chonmals, the
Dardanelles and Gallipoli news arrives that largo
numbers of Greeks, on learning the events which
had occurred and without awaiting the order for
expulsion, hastened to make a legal declaration
expressing their desire to become subjects of the
Sul Lan.
The Siecte of Paris mentions that Russia has
committed a fresh act of persecution against Po
land. Three centuries buck Poland adopted the
Gregorian calendar; but a ukase from St. Peters
burg has now, without any previous my lee, sub
stituted for it the Julian one. All the habits of
the nation are suddenly disorganized; all the
dates changed at the good pleasure of the Czar.
Successive improvements had been introduced
.11 the division of time. The imperfections of
the Roman method of calculating, admitted by
John Mulier,Clavins and other astronomers, were,
after labors spread over more than a hundred
years, corrected under Gregory XIII.; then came
the republican calendar, the only one based on
exact knowledge of the movement of the earth
on its orbit, and which fixed the commencement
of the year, not on the first of January, which is
abt.urd, but on the precise day on which the sun
arrives at the real autumn equinox. in `entering
the sign of the balance. Of the three systems the
Russian Government has retained the most anti
quated and the least logical, which it now im
poses on Poland.
Great Gales on the Atlantic.
[From the London Star, Jan. ll]
There Is scarcely a ship which reaches the Mer
sey but what has suffered more or less damage
from the recent heavy gales In the Atlantic. The
ship Francis B. Cutting, which has just arrived
from Baltimore, though she made one of the
fastest passages on record—viz: eighteen days
sixteen hours—to Liverpool, encountered very
severe weather on the voyage. On'the 24th of
December, in latitude 38 46 N., longitude 61 W.,
passed the wreck of a vessel painted black, with
an immense number of light lumber boards, &c.,
Boating around for about ten miles, apparently
burned, as the boards were all charred. She ap
peared to be a bark of 400 to 500 tons, and laden
with lumber or petroleum. Her bows were sub
merged, but hor stern was out of the water, the
sea breakingover tier with tremendous force at
the time. Captain Tyson could not ascertain
any further particulars, having run as close as .
possible to her, but could not see any person on
board. She was right In the track

:fgainst the wreck in the night time. The Ido
tique, ffom - Liitidon teePliiiiidelpiffa, experienced
heavy weather during the entire passage. She
was twenty days west of St. John's shoals, and
lost fore and maintopsails, and sustained other
considerable damage to her masts and filming. A
barge number of vessels had put 'into Bermuda,
St. Thomas, Philadelphia and other ports in dis
tress. From the Irish coast we learn of several
disasters; all along the coast of Wexford the shore
is strewn with wrecks, and in the immediate
neighborhood of the Arklow Bank the wreckage
is of such a character as to be easily. Identified as
that of some large shin—evidently a timber laden
cue, as among the timber cast ashore is a lot of
new deal planking. A telegram, dated Queens
town yesterday, states that the bark Ercyna,
which had arrived from San Francisco, landed
the shipwrecked crew of the bark Freestone. of
and from Prince Edward Island. The Freestone
had been fallen in with, in 30 W., 'several days
previous, in a very damaged condition, having
experienced fearful weather. The vessel was
laboring heavily, and the crow were in a most,
exhausted condition. The boats of the Ercyna
were at once lowered, and the crew of the Free
stone taken safely on board the Ercyna. A Dub
lin telegram, also dated yesterday morning, states
that a large schooner, with the mainmast only
standing, was picked up on the previous day, a
derelict. and towed into Arklow by the fishermen.
The schooner was very much battered about the
upper deck and bulwarks, and the name
"Sophie" was painted on her quarter board.
Nothing could be ascertained as to the fate of
the Crew.
Ritualistic fleeting' in London.
There was another meeting of Ritualists on the
morning of January 13, at Freemason's Hail,
composed almost exclusively of those who are In
favor of continuing the sitar lights, and other
practices, condemned by the Judicial Committee
of Privy Council. A long and very earnest con
versation took place, in welch Mr. Bennett, Mr.
Orby Shipley, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Lowder, and
other gentlemen joined. It was generally ad
mitted that it would be very unwise to bled the
clergy as a body to any particular course, bias
much as circumstances differed in various parish
(s, and some might feeljt to be their duty ex
',licitly to obey the law of the Church on those
points where it differed from the law of the land
as recently expounded by the High Court of
nppral. tieveral clergymen have determined to
continue the lights, at all events until they receive
a monition from a spiritual authority. The
question of the prosecution of Mr. Bennett on
aoctrinal matters was alluded to, audit was gene
rally admitted that, in the event of the Judicial
Committee of the Privy , Council decreeing that
the Real Presence in the Eucharist Is antagonistic

Mr. Anson Burlingame and his Chinese col

visitors. They are to have a formal audience of
the Emperor in a few days. All the indications
would go to show that their reception in this

and that the objects of their mission here will be
fully attained. The Libre concludes a long

A I tab Story.
A whale of great porosity,
And email specific gravity,
Dived down with great velocity
Beneath the sea's concavity.
But soon the Weieht of water
ciquetzcd in his fat immensity,
Which varied—as it might to—
Inversely to his density.
It would have moved to pity
An Ogre or a Hessian,
To see poor Spermacell
Thus suffering compression.
The whale he lay a-roaring,
In agonies gigantic;
The lamp oil out came pouring.
And greased the wide Atlantic
(Would we'd been In the navy,
And cruising there. Imagine us
All In a sea of graVy,
With bblowa oleaginous!)
