The representatives of tho ''com mercial emporium" seemed to be shocked at tne thought that a man should be taken from Phila delphia to “run” the Treasury Department.

BUEOPEAH AFFAIKB Americans In Paris—American Cbnrit i able Association mardi «*rns- i American Hospitalities, . iCorrcapotdenco of tbs PbilidolDhls Eventnc Ballotin.] Paris, Tuesday, Feb. 9,1869- —One of tbomoat numerous and lnlioential meetings, of Americans which has ever been held in Paris assembled at , ihe end of last week at the Grand Hotel; and al though the object of it was local only, yet it was ote which concerns too nearly tho-credit and' dignity of onr people and conhtry riot td, be : , gcneially interesting to all citizens of the United States. The vast increase in imtnh?is and lnflui . cnee of the American colony in Paris, both float ing and permanent, is a fact Upon which ijbave already often dWelt-Ainerlcahdubiety has become, indeed, the most prominent fofclgn ele ment of the French capital; aadYheyer perhaps bas it'beeU more ccnßpleadaifor' its -wealth and . splendor 'and magnificent style of living than ' during the present seasons American reunions are now the most recherche in. Paris, .being a 1 i once the most, sought aftfer and tori, most attrac , live for beauty, elegance, distinction and the dis play of wealth. The , consequence Is that ibe eyes of other residents are' more and flied upon the 'movements of . American social life, an’d if often dazzled by its brilliancy, are also, more humano, open to any de ficiencies which may'seem to exist in It. Yon are aware that private and voluntary charily to the poor is one of the most striking and favor able features of the population of Paris and of France in general. Every municipal division Of the city—that is, each of its twenty arrondlsse ments—bas its bureau de bienfaieance, supported, and well supported, too, by volun tary contributions. The Germans, though a much poorer class in Paris, "ihan the Americans, have their charitabfe asso ciation and annual ball in support of it. The EDgllsb have long had their British Institution, whose chief object is, however, to send home and iemove from foreign eyes the namtroas vaga bonds and pickpockets of British origin who iu lest the capital and disgrace their Own country, rho non-existence of an association for the relief and succor of American citizens in distress or sipknets at so great a distance from home, has jorig been felt to be a want, and was becoming at last a reproach to so luxurious and wealthy a, community as that which represents .be United States in Paris. X have heard ltllkened 10 the conduct of the Prefect, who insists upon ooilding bis Grand Opera, while he gets on very -lowly with the' great City Hospital. At last, however, a movement has been made to tbe r right uirection. A number of inflnential American gentlemen, with General Dix at their head, de .vaniced to call the meeting above alluded to, or toC purpose of forming an American Charita ble Association in Paris, and the call was responded to in the most gratifying manner. Amongit those present were ail the principal American bankers and chief residents wlin a Sprinkling or such passing celebrities as Uon. Anson G. Burlingame, Albert Bierstadi, and others. The Rev. Mr. Lamgon, of the American i pitcopal Church, was called to the chair, and opened the proceedings by a luminous statement < f the objects and necessity of the proposed foun dation. He was followed by Dr. Thos. W. Evans, Rev. Dr. Robinson, of the American chapel in tile Rne do. Berri, and several others, whose eloquence and representations in duced the meeting to pass a unanimous vote of decision in favor of the Association. A sketch of its proposed constitution, which had been previously drawn up, was then road by Colonel McKay, and seemed to give general satisfaction. The meeting subsequently adjourned to Thursday next, to give further time for publicity and con -ideration of the fonndation, and finally broke up with the pleasing conviction that a really sood work had been accomplished, and that, in the midst of the superabundant cDjoyment and cayeties of the present season of the year, the e raver duties of charity and beneficence had not ’teen forgotten or neglected. Tbis is,as yon are aware, the Mardi eras of the Parisians, and all the world is making holiday and feasting. The streets are densely crowded with bourgeois and their wives and children, con gregated especially at the points where the pro cession of the Bceuf gras and its motley caval- i cade are announced officially to pass. At night there will not be much fewer than three hundred ■ hal masques open on a greater or less scale, from that of the Grand Opera to the smallest tea-gar den; the cafes remain open till morning, and groups of maskers, male and female, will be staggering home, looking hideous in paint and daylight. The striking contrast with snch assemblies are the numberless brilliant private reunions which 1 have been taking place in rapid succession up to this day. With the Mardi Gras the .Parisian season “proper” is supposed to end; and though this is no longer carried out, as formerly, by a general exodus into the country until after Lent, yet there is always a sort of toll sets in with Ash Wednesday, and the most fashions, ble soirees are held previous to the above day. As I have remarked above, the American reunions have been quite exceptionally nnmerons and successful this season. Amongst the most remarkable may be mentioned those of Col. and Mrs. Hoffcmnn, of the American Lega" tion, where the highest American musical talent in Pariß was for the first time assembled toeethor on the same evening. The names of Mrs. Moul ton, Mrs. Ronalds and Mrs. Riggs have now be come too pnblicly and deservedly celebrated for "their charming talent in Paris, for it to bo any 1 longer a breach of decorum or delicacy to men tion them. The fascinating vocal powers of , these canlatrica of the beau monde and private life canje into-delightful and immediate rivalry for the first time in Mrs. Hoffemoris salons, to the infinite satisfaction, U need scarcoly be said, of her nnmerons and fortunate guests. To men tion the ÜBion of such a galaxy of talent may be allowable; but for bo it from me to draw any comparisons, or attempt who gainod the palm in so great a competition— tantas com ponere lites— or say which syren most pleased the lavished ears of her audience. Amongst other American salons ot the highes; ton in Paris ore those of Mrs. Albert Gala: tlB, in tho Avenue Josephino, whore refiooment and grace of mannor and toilet ore displayed in a social circle which Is moro se lect and cultivated than humorous. Mrs. Col GoWeu’a parlies, in the samo favorite quarter of~ toe city—the “Fifth Avenue" of Puri 3— have been also much distinguished and spoken Of.

The pnblic press an nounces the arrest, at the Hotel de las Pentoau larerof a mysterions personage in some way connected, asitappeare, with the family of Queen Isabella. His trunks have been seized.

Under- date Feb. 5 tho correspondent of the -London Star writes from Madrid: Senor Figneralo is the originator of the clause abolisn mg slavery which bas been introduced into the draft of thenew Constitution to be presented to he Cortes, and it has received the unanimous ap pioval of the Ministry. It is to this effect: I sive the text: -La esclavitnd no aerri consent id a, nl toierada en ningun' panto do la nacion Espanola.” Anglice “Slavery shall not be eneonraged nor tolerated in any pan of the Spanish nation.” Bcnor b ignerola was a Vice President of the Spanish Abolitionist Society,, and was in favor of imme diate emancipation-when this Association num bered many gradualists. Since his accession to powet-he has uol continned his official connoc '.don .with the Society, Bat hos retained'his radical “tews, and/ rendered Uw* a buiitiorit.ro (mod ser vice- - 'iite-RtKerolly,Understood that a term ot apprenticeship will be proposed by the Pro slarvery party. Indeed, it is donblfnl whether any of the Ministers, save Fignerola, favor imme diate emancipation. On the other hand, the maesis have spoken out very plainly on this point, and many hundreds of petitions are ready lor presentation, all demanding the abolition of slavery without any delay. At this time there are Dearly two hundred anti-slavery societies estab lished throughout the country. The eight uni versities of Spain have their petition. The press, as a body apart, bas one in course of signature. A considerable number of the Catholic clergy has also prepared a.similar manifestation of opinion, and in various other wavs the pnblic sentiment has been tested, and has declared itself in favor of radical measures.

THe Rebellion Falllpu-Tlle Exact Situation. The Havana correspondent ef the New York Times writ€B: The recent arrivals of troops from the mother country, and the fact that more are expected, and all before the 20th, the dgy to which many eyes B re anxiously turned, as . then the “forty days* grace are np t and the nows re ceifed from the different .columns In the field, with, the scarcity of further exciting news from the Insurrectionary forces, and the recent procla mations of Generals Dolce and Roberto, nil tend to dtumate the Spanish mind in tie belief, that the revolution is on its last less. . . . , The present situation of affairs, withontgiving any lengthy details, may be comprised in the fol lowing: Notwithstanding that the important dis tricts of Santiago de Cuba and Guantanamo are supposed to be iully protected by the Spanish occasional bands of. insurgents make raids through their hues, burning and destroying plantations, and skirmishing. The main body of ihe insurgents appear to have retired from the ex tensive district between Santiago deCuba-aud Bi- Kifro’sftSn vv olu “ n l iS UDder command of Cols. .Vclaocu are itportad to lrom the llrst place to .Jiguani and Bayamo wiin ont haying met the enemy. It is asserted through different channels . that Aquflera and Cespedes with the greater part of their followers, have tallem back npon the Ho] ij uin District, encamp ing on the extensive farms between Nnovitas and (itbara, and that the principal object of this movement Is to withdraw os much as possible from any encounter with Val maseda s forces, and to open communica tions with the insurgents of the Puerto Principe district, as also that the said farms were well stocked with herds of cattle, and are in a line of the coast. Among the different leaders of the Puerto insurgents, it is said there Is not the best accord with the plans of Agnelera and Cespedeß, per a disposition to obey their orders. Quesada is supposed to be the only one who is willing lo be guided by the Dictator-General, and all the other chiefs feel Important enough to act on.their own account, and without submitting to the orders of the Dictator. The last direct news from Puerto Principe is onlv to the 28th January, and affairs were then in the stme state as before, save a growing scarcity and want of ibe necessaries of life. The city is garrisoned by 8,000 men, troops and volunteers, and no attempt had been lately made against it by the enemy. From MoroD, Remedios and Saneti Spiritns, no further disturbances have been reported, except that a small band which rose in the town of Banao, in the last-named district, repented, taking refuse in the amnesty. Private letters from Cienfuegos state that on the 15th inst. the insurgents tore up the railroad between that city and Villa Clara, to a great ween.Palmira and Ban Cruces, near the estates called “Honnignero’’ and “Flora,” and cutoff all communications between the two places. The trains now can only go as far as Palmira, a lew miles from Cienfuegos. Considerable excitement exists in the citv, and defences and barricades are being erected In tho outskirts, and nil are on tho qui- vim. It is feared that commnnication with Havana is now only limited to the Batabario steamer. The insurgents are active, and showing themselves in nnmerons parties In different qpartors. A few days since one party of them captured a small steamer which was need to ply on the Domnji river, and several of the lighters used to bring the produce from the sugar plantations, lining both sides of . tho river, to town, have also beon captured by them. Communication by rail with Sagna, and throngh St. Domingo with Havana,' Is now entirely cut off. The supply of water from the Damuji to Cienfuegos waa feared would also be cut off by the insurgents. No reliable accounts have either been received from the troops which left Cienfuegos a short time since, in,tho direction of Manicaragua and Villa Clara. As far as known, the Bugarestatos have yet suffered no injury, save those which have been visited by roving bands of insurgents have been despoiled of arms, provisions and ail the live stock, particularly horses. Tho insurrection in the western part of the island Is supposed to bo confined between the hills of Manicaragua and tho Zapata Swamp. This swamp is situated on the socth sido, directly in the rear of the important line of railroad between Colon, MalanzßS and Yumes, connect ing with Havana,am! is intersected by nnmerons paths and bridle roadß, by which the Insurgents can readily evade the vigilance of tho (roops sent to operate against them. It seems to bo their intention to congregate iifTTlarge number in that vicinity and mako.au attempt against Yumes, ihe important halfGvay station betwoon Havana arid Matanzas, anti expect to moot with aid from that dlstrict,qs4igns of discontent have already been shown there.
