Grant's Peace Policy Greece and I s ola Simnel l ll —napoleon Dloportelk Simnel iCerreepongitnee et the Philadelphia Evening B 1 4 110 Pram, Friday, Jan. 15th, 1869.—A1l that \ e know here for positive on the subject of the Co , - ference is the fact, which will have ere this reached you, of the difficulty raised by the atti tude of the - Greek Minister. The whole interest of the action thus unexpectedly taken by M. Rangabt lies in the answer to be given .to the question, What does he mean by it ? If, es some_ say and profess - to believe, it is a mere matter of form and a stickling for Greek dignity, the inci dent is unimportant and will be compromised acid got over. If, on the contrary, the Greek Minister' is the puppet only of some one else, who pulls the wires behind him, the proceeding moans mischief, and , may be' in tended to lead to more serious results_ than the mete abortion of the Conference.' I cannot and , do not believe that the latter is theArga-interpre tien to be put upon what has taken place. No doubt there are many here ready to suspect Rus sia, and even America is lugged into the contro versy, and represented to be at the back of Rus sia. as the latter is at the back of Greece. But I neither believe Ruesla to be ready for such a genie, nor the Cabinet at Washington, present or future, to be willing to play it. It is tiseless,how ever, for me to speculate at present on so dark a subject,of which the first solution to Sure to reach you long before My comment on it. I quote the following passage on the subject of the Conference from the columns of the old Moniteur, a journal which is 'daily winning for itself an excellent position In. the independent press, since it has lost its official character. Speaking of the attitude of the Russian Ambassa dor, It says that the Count 4e Btac.kelberg has never departed from the conciliatory action which has probably been prescribed to him, by his gov ernment. Thus, for Instance, he is reported the other day to have recalled to his colleague in cqnpcil the words recently attributed to General Grant: "The entire world demands peace; let us put away from us not only wars but rumors of wars. Peace has victories more glorious'than those gained orrthe field of battle. We have got the earth to cultivate and paople, and what it demands to fertilize It is not the I•lood of man, but the sweat of his brow. May God proteet the niinisters Of peace now sitting in Paris, and may they thoroughly understand that the world' has had enough of war, and wishes for no more of it." These noble words, says the Afoniteur, pro duced a considerable emotion among those who heard them ; and the more so on account of tho close friendship which is known to exist between Russia and the American Republic. I quote the incident, however, more- especially - as a new proof of the growing influence of. American thought and example over the internal policy and council of Europe. I may remark aISO that Hid_ language of 'Mr. 'Thornton, the British Minister, } on the occasion of the banquet offered to . Pro. fessor Morse, has been read here amongst Ameri cans with unreserved satiscowtion,and has forged, I trust, a new link in the chain which is binding together the two kindred nations in peace and unity. I have observed, too, with pleasure, both curing the past summer and in the course of this winter, that Americana and English begin to herd together in a way quite unusual of late, and be gin to wonder, as Mr. Reverdy Johnson said, what is the difference between them! Here in Paris many Americans have made the same re wark, on finding that they can never enter a salon of either nation without finding there a considerable mixture of the two. "I don't know what's come over the English,"—said a good natured old gentleman to me, the other day, who nad returned to Paris after several years absence "I find them eo deuced civil now !" Among the incidents of the day, it has been hoticed that on Wednesday last, being the New Year's Day of the Greeks, the whole personnel of the Greek Legation, with M. Rangabe at its head, paid a formal and official visit to the hotel of the Russian Ambassador. The attention bestowed on this act, and the publication of it by all the ministerial journals, show how narrowly every symptom is watched which can indicate the real feelings of those who now sit in council at the Foreign Ministry. It, is curious to read how the Emperor Napo eon amuses and occupies himself in the very leight, of this diplomatic crisis. One day we tear that his Majesty was present at the last new drama at the Porte tat. Martin, and the nest day that he had gone to shoot with a large party of .ntimates at Fontainebleau, when he killed %id _lead of game with his own gun ! • Inc Monetary International Commission held .nother sitting (the eighth) last week, at the Con seil d'Etat, Owthg.to the energetic. representa tions of Michel-Chevalier, the Commission is un derstood to have declared itself in favor of an unique gold standard. It seems probable also that it will recommend the issue of gold pieces of twenty-five francs, of which M. Dumas, the Mas ter of the Mint, submitted Bettie fine specimens .or examinition. A. Swedish deputy announced That the gevernment of that count'' , was ready at once to emit this coin, and had already set the trample of striking "universal" ten franc pieces, with that value inscribed on them,'but called carolins. On the 18th inst. we shall havehe opening of the Chambers and the Emperor's speech, of which the telegrapn will convey to you the chief pm - - pert. All I can say at present is that it is ex pected to be profoundly peaceful and concilia tory, and indicative of the easy temperament which seems now to have taken possession of his Majesty. ,The session is expected to be short but animated; and In order to keep the public well and expeditiously posted in its proceedings, printing presses are being arranged in the Palals Bourbon, contiguous to the sittings of the Corps Lcgislatif, when the speeches can be struck off at once without the delay inci dent to sending them to the office of the new - official journal. There have been some interesting ex amples recently in Paris of the exercise of the newly accorded right of the public meeting,for the discussion of subjects from which politics are however.rigorously excluded. Jules Fevre spoke at one of them the other day on the LiteiPtire of France, contriving, of course; se more, to 'sail as near the wind as possible by "al- Insions"Which did not bring him precisely within the letter of the law. Bat the most popular of these meetings was one at which Laboulaye,thp, anthor of Paris an Amerigue, spoke on the ,right of public meeting itself, and its advantages, illus. tutting the latter point by the following among OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. other examples. When Lord Carlyle, he said, was in the 'United States, be soon discovered how much better informed and more intelligent the working classes of America wore than those of England. There were not many French nobles, M. Labonlaye said, who would have gone to America at all to make such a discovery, and certainly when they came back they would neither have been willing, nor been permitted to do what Lord Carlyle did. He saw that America as going fast ahead of England; so on his re turn he writes a series of lectures, goes the round of the, provinces in England, and in every town assembles the workingmen, and explains to them that,unless they instruct and moralize themselves, the will beat them out of the field, and monopolize the commerce of the world. The story'; was received with frantic applause, and clamorous demands for liberty of pibllc meeting as practised in America. It, is thus that in a thou sand' ways the silent influence of American ex ample is telling upon the masses in this country. We are now in the high tide of the Faris sea-, son, and the salons of the fashionable world are' cLopdeil willvd4kars. To-morrow evening Gen der Dix commerate, his — receptions, of which thelonors are done by his daughter,Mrs. alsh, and ,where the crush is expected to be un ally great. Napoleon and Victor Ilnintanuld. The Moniteur of the 14th says that ninny per sonal telegrams are daily interchanged between the Emperor Napoleon and King Victor Emman uel. The most intimate relations exist between the palace of the Tuileries and the MU Palace, and the understanding between the Cabinets of Florence and of Paris is very cordial. Warlike Dloverraente In. Greece. The ktoniteur of the 15th says that since the let 'of January Greece has been unremittingly en gaged in organizing—in addition to her regular army-13,000 guerillas, forming thirty battalions of 500 men each, in order to provide for the effi ciency of her marine and the fortification of the "vulnerable points of her northern frontiers. Mr. Waugh's fine portrait of 'the Presiden4. elect is,now attracting much attention at the Union League House. Although everyone owns a likeness of General Grankthere la a great differ ence between the beat photograph and a clever paintiig. The camera is like a senseless slave that bus learned to repeat a message word for weird,-but misses all the accent and -charm. The brush is sympathetic, and has discretions. Mr. B. Scott, Jr., we believe, contemplates sublinie changes in his Art Gallery, opposite the Academy. Like the Blacking Virare'ne, it is to be "draw'd architectooralooraL" The change is to begin, as all moral reform should begin, with '_the inside. The walls are now being tinted a 'rich maroon, and corniced with gilt, and the -whole interior is to be freshened and brightened. :Mr. Scott's Gallery is,well placed, the room is 'handsomely nrOportionedand amply lighted; we Tworild , like it to, take its place as - a first-class hall "fertile exchange of good pictures. The Idea that .:exhibillinis of paintings, to give themselves tone, tausttmeessarily flutter for a few days in, the rooins of the Old icademy,is a ridiculous one,atid disas— trous to the dignity of our venerable old Lonvie. Let Mr. Scott keep up his gallery in a handsome and attractive aspect, and its accessibility will attract ri larger public than any other locality in town.—Mr. Scott has great ideas for his future enterprises. tlti the completion of his alterations he will receive a succession of choice collections of European pictures; so early as the beginning of next Month he will dispose of the via \table col lection of Mr. Calvert, of North Broad street,who is off betimes for Europe. This parlor gallery contains a Bongnerean, and many other We French pictures. We began to speak yesterday of the Goupil col lection, now freely exposed at the Academy, and intended for diatribution on Monday and Tuesday evenings. This vendue will be the very Carnival of the long purees. The collection Is a group of bijoux, usually dear in proportion to their little ness—for the smallest panels are generally the , daintidst, and signed with the most awe-Inspiring names. The Ramona, the Plassans, the Hammen, the Chaplin, the Desgoffe and Merle and Soyer and Lambinets,--all these are jewels, to hang like ear-drOps among the parures of a boudoir or among the mirrors of a drawing-room. They are for the gonessuidlmlng of the eye. Speaking of this collection, we promised a a word abbot the Frenchilled—or enfranchised— Americana who are numbered among the contrib utors. Sehnessele, now Professor of the Penn sylvania Academy of Arts, Is an Alsatian by birth, a Strasbourgols, whose education was effected in Paris at the etpdio of Yvon; he is represented both in oil and alluarelle; some of his water-colors here we believe to DO the very cleverest and hap piest preductions in that line ever - made in this eity.—Bricignian exposes No. 50, "The Children's Favorite," costumes of Brittany; he is a pupil of GerOme, and a bold, good painter, his "Breton Game," from the Paris &lon of 1868, was engraved for the principal illustrated weekly in that city, and fox: the London Illustrated Times ; Henry Bacon exhibits "Wash-day for Miss Dolly' and "Learning the Lesson;" he is a brilliant pupil of Edouard FrCre,inhabits Ecouen and Paris, bat has formerly lived in Philadelphia and Boston; Messrs. Gonpil a Co. are his usual agents, and end no difficulty in disposing of his pictures- Milne Ramsey <exhibits some still-life. He is practising under Bonnet, whose studio is perhaps, the best in Paris; an excenent painter already before leaving this country, his studies across the water have now made of• him probably the best fruit-painter in America.—V. Nehlig is known to those who know, as the best representative of French art living in this country. Ilia method is admirable, but his reputation among na has probably suffered from the indifference of his eational school to subject-interest. He exhibits 92, "Retrospection."—There are 185 pictures in all, French, Americo-French, Belgian, and Bava rian. Under the management of C. F. Headline- We receive from Prang 65z, Co. their last chromo lithograph, "Thb Boyhood of Lincoln." It Is large,and is dark in effect, requiring ti,gilt frame: The hero is represented as a raw-boned youth, with a face combined of shrewdness and ,kind nest; the likenesS to the good plain face we knew Is plainly predlbted in Ails thoughtful countenance. The young backwoodsman reads by firelight in a log cabin of; the West, with no company but the family pans and kettles which glimmer in the light of the Dames. The bodily temperament of the great rall-splitter is perfectly indicted in the long hands, the "tense, dome-like forehend, with . its Indian hair, and the wonderful protraction of the legs on which the 'ordirun'y cow-skin boot, hardly rises above the ankles. The art-qUalitiof this ehroata is just about - equal teloriner reaulta of the Johnson-Prang combination. TILIE 'FINS A *TS. FIFTH EDITION BY TELEGRAPH.

Fortieth Congress—Third Seision. WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. HOUSE.—Mr. Brooks presented a memorial from the New York Chamber of Commerce, pointing out a way for the permanent settlement of the national finances. Referred tolhe Com mittee on , Ways and Means. Mr. Jones (Ky.) presented the memorial of merchants of Louisville. and dealers in the Sixth District of Kentucky, for certain changes and amendments in the internal revenue law. Same reference. Mn Schenck (Ohio), from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill providing that every deputy collector or assistant assessor of Internal Revenue, who has performed the duties of collector or assessor on account of the sus pension or Dinette of such collector or assesitor, shall receive the compensation of collector or assessor, except in cases where the collector or assessor has already received compensation for the same period. Mr. Schenck, after a brief explanation of the bill, went on to state how Congress is systemati cally slandered by claim agents and prowlers around the capital, and in that connection read a cireniar addrereed by, a Washington claim agent topersons who 'would be benefited-by a pension bill. stating that the writerand influential parties would undertake to obtain the passage of such a bill on an allowance being made to them of 50 per centr. on the amount recovered. He said he would not mention the name of the writer. The committee had had him before it, and he haadmitted his wrong and volunteered to write to every one to whom he had addressed 'the circular, confessing his wrong. The committee had found that this person was in other respects a good citizen; that he had deserved much from the Government, and had received a medhl of honor for biaservices daring 'tbe war. :I The Committee had therefore dbncinded to suppreas the name, but he would remark' that that it was an old game, It was not nnfreqnently the ease that the claim agents, attorneys, lobby ists and prowlers around Congress found out what was likely to be 'done .by a committee or by Congress, and then speculated on it under the pretence that it was.through their influence that it was done. That was the case fd, this instance, a call having been made, by tilts' committee for the flames -of persons who were etitled to this compensation: He know an in e nee in a forme • Congress in which a man le led on a claimthe large sum of $lO,OOO, an Melly rece kpr influencing a member of t ' mmittee to, obtain a favorable report, k tt when member never knew nor hoard of the rascal.
