WASHINGTON, June look .every. 'day with all my eyes 4t the Buildings of:Washing,- . . Washing ton. It is the only city in America, I suppose, where one is expected to have any reasonable pride in the edifices as works of art. If we -.except Fifth avenue, - vrith - its - lines - grave; towering, almost Florentine patazzi, I hardly know where to go, out of Washington, for any combined plan of construction any plan in - 7tyltich buildings arc set one against the other for mutual effect. Elsewhere, ;the toothiest& ottrfine edifices is clearly one of, vanity. and Jealous:Vof my neighbor has liniShed a, bijou of a 'mime, all carved and inlaid and tucked in :with care, 3 am certain to straddle ,over him With a crazy square ..tower 'of masoory, look- Ing down out of tall slits of windows upon his inferioritY; if on the contrary .he has built :high and spindling; •. I. of course . buy several 'slots" and 'put up a square two.story box in a "garden," or cemetery of cypresses. If he chooses brown-stone, I build, in marble. My spirit is sure to be one of con tradiction; I press out of the line, intent upon making my own effect; any thought of Com bining to form a vista, to improve a block, ,is beneath the independende of, an Anterican ;Citizen. The terraces and crescents of Lon don, the streets of Edinburgh, the various bonlevards and comes of the continent, whose intention is to produce an impression of har • loony and combination, must be the work of centralization and accumulated capital. Fifth avenue, however, where - wealth' and fashion have happened to bump together in ajather narrow bed, presents some accidental resem blance to these Haussmann-like schemes, and .gives us a rather strong hint of what a street ought to look like. " I W=7l'!=rM lint is there, here in Washington, evidence of such Combination? Is not the Capital eel ebrated Tor its desultory arrangement, for the inagnitictrices of its "distances?" Doyou not have to fly along immense perspectives _of tramways, under fringes of worms, along lines of booths, shops, taverns,gardens, to get to any building worth looking at ? It is true enough; but this consideration doeS not much interfere with the air of the city as one of architectural harmony. The inferior buildings are so very far inferior, they withdraw so completely from competition, that you only think of, them as incurnbranees which time is sure to clear away. They. are like • the wagons of the camp-sutlers; you see imaginary wheels' under each rude structure. They are no more parts of the Waddington of the future - than the Arals' , tents ainong the pillars of Karnac or liettreen tfre pyramids. are appurtenances of those monuments. Pricking through the .eenglotriemted ugliness of brick and 'shingle you see—'-on another and in another spirit,--the true city, the Washington of the' futtire, in its marble whiternms and its classic cairn; you see these buildings shining and re cognizing their congeners across the plain, like crystals that shoot and select each other and marry at the surface of some impure solu tion. As for vista, the buildings are really so considerable that they form their own per spective. The rules of street-architecture are quite satisfied when as amebas it block is self consistent and gathered under one roof. Besides, and I think this an important and fortunate element, Washington has been pro jected.npon the old, safe, demonstrably-beau tiful Greek order. This is undoubtedly the best - refuge - for a nation - not - at - all - certain - that it bas any architectural taste< of its own. No very bad mistake can be made by a builder who spreads his compasses to a plan of the Parthenon and humbly copies it. And if; up and down the length and breadth of a great city ; these initial landmarks are set here and there, all white, all Greek, all of precious - stone, they will-naturally take the control Nothing inferior will have the courage to,rise. Nobody will venture to plant a weed' in the conservatory. Therefore, with only the slight concession made us that we may build innumerable lines of white Greek air-castles between the edifices we already have, I think we may decide that Washington is, one of the beautiful cities of the world. / ENFANT PERDU.

ESCAPE OF COLONEL RYAN IN NEW YORK. , . • , Col. Ryan was arreatediii New York a few days ago upon a charges f organizing an expe dition iu aid of the. Cubans: ,The Herald gives the following account of his escape yesterday: The amount of bail .fixed in Col. Ryan's case .was looked upon by the "knowin' !uns" as de cidedly excessive, considering the nature of ; the offence charged against ; him, and althtiugh it was at his beck to twilit& ten times that amount in two hours' notice, ho appeared to be quite indifferent to making the very slight exertion necersary to procure the -.t40,000„.and shortly .aftetwards - left .the court ; with one - of . " the deputy marshalls,:with a decidedly ;nonchalant air. Whether or not.; he had at that time planned any course .of . acti on _was a matter of course entirely within bis ; own ken, ; but sub sequent events seemed to indicate . that ; the colonel looked upon ; the whole matter fasa, , trivial affair.. appearance. and manner at court have already been fully chronicled, and .it ; only now remains to state that the; bail which, be eventuallyzave is ;generally known under the.distinctive and expressi - Ve-.appell4- tion ofmleg baiL'' : EBCAPE OF THE COLONEL. . It may not be generally known that Colonel W. A. C. Ryan, the youthful and dashing-look; ing Cu - ban-American patriot, and commander of the revolutionary forces in New York; was one of the most droit scouts in the Union army during - the war, but such is really the case, and his very appearance, with his long hair. flowing down over his shoulders, his calm, quiet face< and alemeanor, to gether with, his lithe frame and elan of his gait,. would suggest the idea of his former occupation to any. observer. The Coloal has "many a.time and oft" found himself in a "pretty predicament" with his gray-coated friends at the South, but always managed to elude direct suspicion, or, if under arrest, to slip out of.their , clutches, and no one would be much surprised had he made some attempt to elude the vigilance'and custody of the officials who had charge of him yesterday.. AND. HE DID • make such an attempt and actually succeeded beyond the expectations ofhis most sanguine friends, for he is now as freeas the air, having neither given the bail which the court _,de manded, nor been the recipient of any out side favors or kindneases. In fact, he is one of those young fellows who can always "shift for-himself." A PRIVATE PARTY was at the Metropolitan, and the Colonel, one of the most genial or."boon companions," thought he would like to call on them before returning to thejail, He accordingly proposed to go to the, hotel, and obtained the consent of the deputy marshal to accompany , him in a Among the persons who have manifested a particularly earnest desire to be of, some ;di rect assistance to Colonel 'Ryan during his re cent double arrest-and imprisonment was A DARK-EYED DAUGIITELL • of the 4, .Queen of -the Antilles,”,who is widely known in this eity for her beauty, her wealth . and the anient.devotion of-her .personal en ergy, her money and her sympathy to the cause of the Cuban patriots.. : She ha.s.reneatedly of fered to furnish any amount of bail, but the Colonel has invariably. declined, even though the court had expressed, a Willingness to admit him to bail. About five o'clock This lady, with some male friends, appeared, ~ and the lady again urged him to permit her to give security for him, which he modestly and respectfully declined, stating that "Ins bonds had already -been - signed,":and that hav ing permission from the United States Marshal to take a drive in company with one of the deputies he intended at once to go to the Me tropolitan Hotel and take. leave of a few friends. He shortly afterwards left in a car riage with the deputy, leaving the brunette from the "ever faithful isle". in. a state of in tense anxiety as to, his welfare; and deeply re gretting the waywardness --of - the dashing young fellow who had so earnestly espoused the cause of he+ Spartan ,countrymen„ He then proceeded , it is Understood, to the Metro politan Hotel. AN EYE-WIT:ESS of what followed, a most reputable gentleman of Brooklyn whose name for obvious reasons it would be improper to dive here—states that Ryan called upon his friends, as he had in tended, and ,after a pleasant interview, at which the deputy was present, waved adieu to his companions, and turning the corner from Broadway into Houston street, handed the deputy over to the tender care of a dozen or more friends whom he encountered "accidentally," and at die same time tossed to the Mends a fifty dollar bill; saying, "Boys, take good, care of him. Treat him well, for he has used me like a prince." The Colonel kissed his hand, ,pimped into a carriage and was lost in the whirl of vehicles on Broadway. The dozen friends had mean time caught the. flying" bill, and with firm grrasp4hough their hands were gloved in kids, had also taken hold of the deputy. The official made frantic efforts to free himself, and struggled savagely to escape from the toils; but he was polverleS - ::5, and in a few moments, being taken into an adjacent house,was gently, yet securely, bound hand and foot and assigned quarters for the night, from which, however, he was subsequently liberated, but too late to do anything toward the recapture of the Col onel. THE COLONEL'S LAST ItEGIUET In an interview which the Colonel had with one or two select friends just before his bold escape, he announced his intention, and added, "1 deeply regret my having to take this hist step, but it is the only one left me, and I con sider that the outrages which have been heaped upon me by the United:States authori ties and their injustice towariLS the Cuban pa triots justify the act." WAEDEN TRACY'B STATEMENT Warden Tracy, keeper of - LudtOw street being called upon and questioned about the affair, said :—About ten- o'clock this morn ing, Colonel Ryan left the jail, in company with Deputy Marshal Crowley who took him to court, and other prisoners.

During his in quiries and investigations, however, the two+, Deputy Marshals arrested Colonel purrier,) formerly of. General Hooker's staff, and Schneider, as being tWo alleged officers of the, Cuban expedition itiow fitting out here. The former was taken to the Ludlow Street :Jail; but the latter was taken by the 'Marshal to some other - place. It was reported at the ,re l crusting rendeiyons that Col. Rvan 'bad suej ceeded in making his escape,and had embarked on board of a vessel inthe Bay, carrying 180 volunteers with him. _:.Their , destination- was said to be Cuba. , ~-• •:. , What the,Vohnos Think of the Arrests.: . A Cuban correspondent writes, as fol lows: , The news. of the imprisonment of the Junta Cnbana caused, the most intense excitement here, and the more so because it was entirely, , unexpected, The Cubans were thunderstruck and knew, not. what, to:think of it They had already begun to.:believe that the United States would not enforce the Neutrality laws, or forget the Alabama question with Eng,. land; they also forgot i .that , a great difference exists between the carrying out of the International laws, and the expretsion of the sympathy , felt for a strug gling people". The majority of Spaniards, how ever,were as ignorant as to the meaning of the arrest as the inhabitants •of the Senegal or Gambia might be. A Spanish merchant gravely informed me that ,the United States Government would send them here on board of a man-of-war, and that the , revolution was over now. Another told me that they would re main in.prison at least until the revolution was entirely suixlued. The Cubans learned during the afternoon that all the members of the Junta who had been arrested had been re leased on giving bail. Of course full particu lars are wanting, and many versions of the affair are in circulation, but the fact of the arrest has given the Spanish cause renewed life and vigor, and roused their hopes of stic cess, which were considerably depressed, although the discomfiture of the Laborantes and sympathizers did not decline in a cor responding ratio. The Diagio says, in relation to the arrest: , • "Mr. Lopez Roberts, our Minister in Wash= ington, has fully complied with his mission,_ and the strength .of reason, which is worth more than reasons of strength,has undoubtedly made Mr. Fish understand how much the honor of a nation so powerful as the United States vas interested in permitting a handful of bad Spaniards, who at the Same time , are bad Cubans,to act in such a shameless manner . as, hitherto, to enlist . men, buy arms and despatch expeditions in . order . to . increase . the _ misfortunes from which this island suffers at present. The authorities of the United States ought to interfere with untiring zeal in order , that such scandals may not be augmented. The. mem bers of the revolutionary. Junta have made themselves unworthy of the protection which nations generally grant to pacific political re fugees, and they can •no longer remain, under the security of laws which they have disre garded hundreds of - times. The American tio - vernment h as undotabtediy, recog,ni zed what is due -to a , loyal nation like Spain and to itself, and having once taken the klrst step on the broad road, of legality and' good . under standing,,it is not probable that it will stop on the way, but will heed, religiously all inter national laws until this, country as „pacified, which it ' would .llavezbeen long ago,, if , , the chimerical hopesof. the insurgents had -not been kept alive NiP4tb,„ t]ie • aid of :Men and money sent by the eraairs in the Union." The Diario continues in the same strain, and the ; local .Bress generally . join in the chorus. Their Signiilennee—The i;Shndow; of Coming , Trouble-:-The Emperor's. In tentions. Writing of the Paris election riots, the Paris correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune says: There is endless talk and writing going out about - the causes and , significance of these riots, not much of which is worthlistening to; reading or reporting. have been told there are people' at New (Mean* who, when the levees break there; attribute it to a rise of the water at Natchez; ,some go as far back as the Red River and some to the mountain sources, others to the heavens whence t'he waters pri marily come, from the clouds in the air that have comeback from the ocean—completing the fatal circle. • The steadily rising rioting of the last three days, threatening still worse for to-night, i s the unwise, "dumb, inarticulate" , violent ex pression of protest against the violence of the coup d'itat. Deep ,calleth unto deep. The cu mulated irritation of eighteen years is hoarsely - answering,with brute force to the old :brute force. Ittwill be choked down to-night if it cry too loudly, and for some indefinite time to come, with blood in its throat if need be. The, Perfect of Police •has recovered from the scare that revealed itself in his Mismanagement • of May , and of Monday evening. The preparations now made by the resolved authorities are complete and formidable. There are 30,000 troops within two hours of any point in -Paris, 5,000 within a few minutes of any point, 30,000 more within a few hours. The people are without arms, and none but helplessly ignorant or boyishly heedless or madly exalted indiiidnals dream of now overturning the Government by force. ' The independent press deprecate an ap peal to force with the qualified ex ception of two, whose editors, having suffered violence at the hands of this man, do not at all encourage it. No party, no frac tion of the independent parties,associates itself with the rioters, or has furnished them with a street leader. The only newspaper in Paris that cries "Havoc i and let slip the dogs of war !" is the ultra Napoleonic Pays. Its leader of yesterday is one long series of execration, addressed to all men, women and children who shall dare assemble in the Boulevard of an evening, closing with an earnest prayer for itwprompt and bloody clearance. — These - riots - are --- but - the - ellervese - ent - frilub7 that will dash vainly against the armed de fences with which Napoleon boasted that he has diked out revolution once for all. The deep ground-swell that agitates theination is: otherwise formidable. Conjecture is rife as to the means he is likely to essay for the calthing, of that. He has decided to • call a session of • the • Corps Legislatif • this • month. The decree of convocation iiinits the business of -the session tolhe "verification of powers' of its 'menibers.

Leaky Clerks to the Treasury Depart. ment--.Wail Street Blends Otrileeretar3r Denturelli The Washington correspondent of the New York says There was a good deal of fluttering and anxiety in the 'Treasury. Department to-day concerning, the "leak" which occurred in the Department on Monday, whereby the inten tion of ,the Secretety to change his policy about the sale of gold and the purchase of bonds was prematurely conununicated to cer tain Wall street brokers. When Mr.. Bou t, well :became Secretary 'of . the Treasury one of his first acts was to discover and stop these "leaks," which it was known wore quite numerous.: under his prede cessor. He thought he had succeeded in having every bureau well calked: As a pre ventive, he issued , an. order forbidding the clerks to receive visits from outsiders during businees hours, or even ,to hold unnecessary communication with eaelpother in goliferiom room to room. Several "leaky" clerks or per sons 'suspected of that failing, holding posi tions which gave them access to impor tant financial mforniation, were either re moved or transferred to other bureaus. All this precaution, however, seems to have been insufficient to stop;the "leaks." While the Secretary was enjoying himself at the Boston Jubilee the rats made new holes, out of which the information so much coveted by Wall street oozed last Monday. Mr. Boutwell re ceived several letters from New York to-day from parties who failed to get in the xing,call ing his attention to the existence of the "leak." He , has instituted a strict investiga tion, with a view of tracing , the matter to its proper source. The Assistant-Secretary, Mr. Richardson, who was Acting Secre tary at the time, does not understand howthe news of the intended change of policy could have got out. It is but, just to him to state that he had no hand in it. The order an nouncing the change of policy was sent by Mr. Botitwell, from .Massachusetts, to Mr. - Richardson, the Assistant Secretary, and by him communicated officially to the Assistant Treasurer at New York. By some means its existence was made known to the representa, tives of certain Wall street operators here be fore it ,W been an hour iu the department. Of courar it was at once telegraphed to. New York. By two o'clock telegrams were sentby those who were not in4pe ring, further than to know that, some miW move was contem plated by the Secretary, to their agents here to know what the nature of it was. ,All this time the representatives ':of the public press, who were around the department, in the legi timate pursuit of news, were ketit, in profound ignorance of the existence of the order, anti it was not until after the department closed that, it, was communicated to , the agent of the As sociated Riess.
