Evening Bulletin.] PARIS, Tuesday, Oct. 5,, lfi69.—Political has oncemore succeeded to SoOialmensation, and the decree for the convocation of the Cham bers' on the 2 9thsNovember (!) -hail replaced thes-Pantin massacre in the attention of ".our excitable populations , leave been' weary of late mySelf, and I fear I have wearied your readeni :in seedling' to do, nothing hut,dwell upon and' perpetually point out the blunders of what X adppinie 'Mast still call the Fca ... imrfal government.' But it has been, it:straits, impossible to' speak or, write otherwise, for scarcely a step has been taken, for a long time - pasaTwitich has not been a blunder; and now again the most stupid,. inexplicable and ,un called-for bliinder of all has just been iierpe trated. The situation of affairs was briefly as. follows: According to one interpretation of the text of the 'etcetera] laW; the legal tens for the. con Vocation of the chambers expires on the 25th 'Of: the present month. Nowthere may possibly be a doubt as to the correctness of this interp re tati on,an don e would willingly give the government the benefit of that doubt, as far as it goes, and absolve it from the charge of wil fully tuiconatititional conduct. But what one cannot absolve it from is the charge 'of being either ignorantly blind to or wilfully disre gardful of public opinion. Here has the wholenation been crying out for months past for the meeting of.its newly-elected represens tati ves; after beingavounded and irritated to the quick by their abrupt dismissal before'the Chamber was even. regularly reconstituted. A few of the more advanced deputies • threaten to rea.S.semble, nolcus cokns, on the 26th inst., in the hall of the Corps Legialatifs and there reenact the revolutionary incident of the oath of _the, Jaa de Theme . Even the tiers-parti and the majority have se riously contemplated the getting-up and sign ing' of a protest against the further prolong ation of a state of things which every deputy feels to he an insult and bravado ',offered to his character of a representative of the people. This feeling is backed by the entire voice of tkestvhels: 'Country, and by the organs, of public opinion of almost every color, which have been 'filled of late with letters Writ ten by deputies who are now on a tour_ amongst their tonstitnenciesaind whoome arid all; complain of the bad impression created by the unwillingness displayed, by the govern ment tc; meet, the reptesentatives_of the. na s tion. The popplar ,eenstruction, of. coarse, put Upon : this delay that the Emperor either . cannot bring himself to Carry out the reforniS which he has promised, or that he is:medi taring nlresh coupsPitut to revoke the conces sions which he had been compelled to make. Well, all these feelings and suspicions haye grown so strong of late that a •serisms crisis seems 1. to' be it hand. At last it was understood that the. "Ministers," °r a ttle "Cabinet," or " the Emperor," or whoever it is to.whoae hands the Government of France Ls'at this moment intrusted (for really, during the present interregnum, it is difficult to say ivhat is-the governing power, or Who is re sponsible)—it was understood that some step was about to be taken to calm and satisfy the nubile mind on the subject. Almost the only question debated was whether the Govern ment would steer clear of all charge of " un constitutionality" by summoning the Chambers for the expiration of the legal delay of the 2tith inst., or whether it would . not, still more wisely and prudently, be in advance even of the public expectation, and reopen the session al most immediately. I need not tell you how great, under these circumstances,. lids been the astonishment and indignation with which the decree has been read which actually postpones the meeting of the Legislature and prolongs the present undefined system of government for nearly two months more. This foolish, and I had almost written fatal decision (for it really does give the coup de vroce to the_prestigeSand popularity of Napo leon ILL), only appeared two days ago, on Sunday, and already, as I anticipated, it has elicited a general chorus of reprobation and indignation. Never was there such unani mity of condemnation in the public voice. Every journal this morning breathes the same language. The &Sae calls the decree "a fault more serious perhaps that any we have yet -witnessed, though the cataligue is a long one." The Temps speaks of it as an "arrogant, infatu ated and inconceivable policy." The Liberte thinks that the government has fairly "rim off the rails," or In other words, lost its senses. The lybals says that the decree "post , pones for two months the legitimate hopes of the country," and: asks "what the government can possibly hope to gain by the delay '.'" The old Mondeur says that "nothing could be more completely at variance with the wishes and hopes of public opinion;" and de clares that by this act the " Cabinet of the 17th of ((fu ? whether it does not mean the ,Emperor himself) "has sealed its fate." I might go on quoting forever through, the whole round of the Paris press; and even the ultra imperialist . Pays itself sneers at the pre sent "imbecility" of the rulinginsind;as com pared with its St vigor" in December, 185 1 1 We seem falling indeed from bad to worse. The Emperor in spite of all we hear about his " recovery," and "going 'to the races," and " taking , long walka,"' is : eiidently not the man he was, and has fallen into the hands of a weak and vacillatinanfin istry—(Eugene .1 3 elletan calls them . " hermit .phrodites !")-,-while his foolish Wife is running about' the' 'World, amusing herself with de vising costumes and fancying herself a *did ,cal personage. 'The language of the "irrecon cilable"DiipOsition grows bolder and bolder every day, under these symptoms of declining .In -,a d fiery letter just issued by Eugene Pelletan (the same in which he addresses to ministers the complimentary epithet above ••quoted), the popular deputy 'of Paris exclaims with a voice of triumph that the "race 'of adventiners" is worn out. "Where, now," be asks, "is ,St. Arnaud? Where is (le Mostly?" . And :then he inti mates' how little doubt he has of 'what will be the residt'when ''it s last th e;"question.Of life and death comes to . decided': betWeeiathe national sovereignty exercised by the nation itself' and the same sovereignty usurped by a man." I cannot better convey to you a cor rect idea of the changed state of ' , things here than by quoting to you such language uttered,• and uttered with impunity. The addresa nresented to Prince Napoleon by the American residents in London has no. doubt reached you, as will alga the reply of MANY ALUMNI FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE. ',ErrEn FEOlt rams. bis highness, which now appears in our pa pers. The incident is, no doubt • striking and significant hi the present ticklish position of the Second Empire, with a republic perhaps looming in the distance, and a President not unlikely to be called for. The greatest pail , cal fault Napoleon ever committed in the eyes of the French nation was to compromise the American alliance. The Prince; you will ob sen'e in his reply, sagaciously remarks : that that, alliance has the "rare and unique, privi lege" in . France of "uniting all parties in its favor;" and it need hardly be added that theft, is no more zealous partisan of that alliance than thg,Prince himself. TNTH 'Arrival of the Great French Ecclesiastic In New York—His Appearance and General Deportment. The Monk, Le Pere,, the Revolutionis The Religious "Lion" Opens His Mind's Eye. The New York Herald says : Pare Hyacinthe has arrived. At, length the great revolutionary ecclesiastic has touched these shortii,--not with the cheek of a reli gious braggatiocio, Lutheran determination or Calvinistic enthusiasm—With no intention of inaugurating open-air meetings in view of a charitable collection for the poor of France, nor with the idea of forwarding the interests of any would-be Assemblyman during the coming election: Indeed, the reverend gentleman appears so far to be influenced by nosuch common-place motives— and motives of the kind must be regarded as mercenary also—be the same more or less. Pere Hyacinthe has not yet studied the politics of New York, and, therefore, cannot con. tently be presumed to have arrived solely for the purpoSe of forwarding the interests of the classic and powerful wigwam. Under all the circumstances, therefore, itmay reasonably be supposed that the Pere. unwilling to follow the path of other "arrival.' is opposed to politics in the commercial sense in which the word is generally employed. The Pere may inaugu rate new doctrines, launch forth his religions javelin at the Catholic capital, worry his ec,:, clesiastical brethren, flap his sacred wings; expanded, doubtless, .by a new invigorating atmosphere, and lift high the finger of righteousna% when advocating some novel form of faith ; but the reverend gentlemen'is evidentlynot disposed to mix in politics, although his arrival' at, this• par 'titular time might indicate to many unscru pulous persons the idea of an-immediate con nection with the T minty chief. It ie clearly evident, then, thattlie reverend -gen tleman has come to this scene of turmoil not for personal aggrandizement, but merely for the purpose of repose, just as one sometimes desires; to be seated on the Peak of Teneriffe, there with chin on elbow, to ponder on the things that were, and still watching the dry pebble on the shore wait until it becomes wet and covered with tie sea. lgicawber waited till something did turn up. Pere Hyacinthe is not unlike Ilicawber in his anticipations. As early as six o'clock yesterday morning the steamer Pereire arrived at this port from Havre and Brest, having on board the now, celebrated French priest—the reverend gen tleman above alluded to—whose stubborn op position to the (Ecumenical Council has made him to be regarded as the Lutheran sensation of the nineteenth century. His arrival was eagerly anticipated by a thoroughly equipped regiment of Bohemians, who prowled near the dock at which the good steamer was to take up her quarters. The bright, brilliant , sun had, no charms for them ; the calm repose which prevailed was to.them perfectly stupid, and, although the surround ing features of the scene were perfectly harmonious, the gallant Bohemians were ill, at ease. Besides the recognized squad of touters was a fair representation of the metro politan press. All were on the qui vice for the famous priest. Never had monk so many charms---the cropped hair, round chubby face, large, lustrous deep meaning eyes, the dark brown habit, girdle, beads and sandals were 'perfectly delightful to con template. It would not have surprised some • if the reverend gentleman had addressed the men who vigorously rolled the merchandise _ and warned them-to be - aware - of - their evil doings. Though marshalled in faultless ar ray, note-book in hand; eyes starting and tongues tipped with expectant inquiries, Pere Hyacinthe disappeared—not by any subma rine passage or spiritualistic influence, for the reverend gentleman quietly took a carriage and went to his hotel, just as any other sensi ble man might be expected to do. So newspaperdom was in a perfect dilemma —it came, but it neither saw nor conquered; and the Pere - was wished many hearty bless ings. It was no use, though; the Pere had 1 arrived, and so it must be chronicled. It was evident from the first that the rever end gentleman did not desire notoriety, the fact being subsequently demonstrated by per sistent refusals on his part to see a host of newspaper men who waited to "interview" him. Father Hyacinthe quitted the Periere about one o'clock, and took up his quarters at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and being very much fatigued, retired immediately to his room. He had probably "lain oft" on a comfortable sofa, pondering on things that were, and casting a glimpse into the future, when cards tumbled in thick and fast upon him. It .was evi dently a strain upon the gentleman, but, ho was reluctantly obliged to decline all recep tions, adding, hewever,rwith that politeness characteristic of his country, that he would be delighted to see them the following day. But the Berald reporter was on hand. 'ln he went, after a previous invitation, and was' courte ously requested to seat himself, which he did, in the most Frenchy manner he could com mand. Pere Hyacinthe was delighted to see him, bad heard of this great journal in Paris, and smiled most urbanely when the writer told him his arrival was eagerly looked for. ward to. r "He did," the reverend gentlemen went on "h to state, e didmot expect anything of the kind ; he Nvas a humble man, nor did ho aspire to religious fame. True, he made a noise abroad, but--=." the reverend gentleman shrugged his portly shoulders and calmly awaited an interrogatory. None was put ;or a moment or so. and meanwhile the writer cast a reportorial glancd at the reverend gentleman's physique. Pere Hyacinthe is what is. generally known MIA "tine-looking man." fit course it is a 'very dubious phrase, but the P6re is not far from' forty years of age, possessed of an elegant frame, medium height, a high forehead, aqui line nose, angular brows and black, deep set, but peculiarly brilliant and piercing eyes; at once denoting great intellectual capagity, while his firm-yet mouth and extremely thin Alps at once procktine his tiger like tenacity to principle and strenuous de termination at all hazards. He has a large head, round as a globe; hair cropped closely, and your first impression of the reverend gen tleman is that helinows what you - are think ing about. The Pere was arrayed in attire that 'would remind you of any religious hero that anybody ever heard ot: He was dressed its-a clerical gentleman should be, and wag as affable as any gentleman who had just made a handsome "corner" in a certain local ity famous for its cordial reception , of greenhorns. Ahogother the • Pro appeared to the writer as a clever man, well read, polished and polite. The reverend gen tleman spoke nothing but French, and, being OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OOTOBER 19, 1869. • - Excited Feeling in Paris. The Paris correspondent of the Loudon ,Slandand writes on October sth: As an illus tration of the state of public feeling among the lower classes, the fact may be noted that at a meeting at Belleville last night, the "honorary chairmanship"\ was unanimously conferred on Tebaldi, the accomplice of Pianori's attempt on the Emperor's life, , who is now expiating his crime a; Cayenne ! M. Maurice Joly,who two years ago was sentenced to thirteen months' imprisonment for his remarkable work "Montes . quieu et - Machiavel aux En-' fers," addressee the meeting, but he proved too conservative for his audience, and was expelled the room amid tremendous uproar. - - - Begirt Rochefort. _ The Paris correspondent. of the Londo), Daily -Yews, writing on Oct. 5, says; A docu ment, bearing 234 signatures, has been for warded to Henri • locilefort, inviting him to stand for the lst - cilcumscriptiiin of the capital, at. the approachin‘ elections; .in the room of Gambetta: Slioul the. irrepressible pamph leteer consent to put up, it is not at all . im possible that he m y have a Majority of voices in his favor, the is circumscription being vi i ciously Democrati , Front his lodgings lathe.

Paris and its scientific attractions were • slightly alluded to —all in praise, of course. ".bTap" was spoken : Of in a ptunping sort of manner, but the Pere was not to be caught, even after a most per,- sistent endeavor. But what to theatrical managers of the pre- • sent age—alack-a-day 1-what to them'is known "effect" was Yet to come. •We had'discussed general topics at length, and the ' writer, for the information of his friends,was waiting for the final qttery. If•Y the way, how about that (Ecumenical Council? Candidly, the most polite cross- examination. failed. Pere was fatigued after :his trip, !butatrpresent—of course nothing was obtained.

He spoke - very little, mats vows sauez la raison, said he, for lie was 'Weary. , • ' About to depart and leave the Pere to sweet iepoBe, knowing well that extra favors had been allowed the present interpreter, the invi tation be - "'call again"—the reverend gentle man most have been posted in France—was most heartily extended. Rising from his seat, ,Pere Hyacinthe said he had come to 'America to learn, for, continued he, there ismore to be learned.in the. United States than in all the countries of Europe. On that account the Pere thinks thatthe most of his time will 'be spent in traveling. By way of, parting compliment the writer hoped the reverend gentleman would not fail to communicate his impressions of America to his countrymen. The Pere amiled for the first time, by the way, and said that it was not improbable that he would write a work upon the subject. He would not have much tune for observation, however, as he intended returning to France at the end of December, though he would never preach there again. Like a forlorn Mine,- the writer made a last e'ffort to fathom the Pere, but the soundings failed; for, with a meekness that was unexpected, the reverend father said that his letter was the best ex planation he could give. His eyelids began to droop with weariness, and Pere Hyacinthe was left to his repose. WhatHe Said. The Tribune contains the following account of the priest's statements: • The conversation- was partly of a private and personal character, and notsuited for pub ti licaon. Father Hyacinthe is, however, en tirely frank about his intentions ° and his pre sent situation. He desires it to be understood that he still is a Roman Catholic. , He has never been, he says, an Ultramontane; ill not now and never will be. But he denies that'there is any reason for identift ing Ultrainontanism with the Catholic Church. He indulges -the • firm - hope., that the Council will not, •as is commonly -antici pated; consolidate the Ultramontane- theories and constitute them the creed of the Church; but that, on the contrary, it will leave the door wide open for those who, like himself, have been throughout life the devoted cham pions of a more liberal construction of the Catholic doctrines, and who in particular have defended the entire harmony be tween the• Christian religion and the great achievements of the civilization of the nine teenth century. Father Hyacinthe expressly declareS his full concurrence in - the sentiments of Father Lacordaire, who died,according to' his own'words, "an impenitent liberal," and of Count - Montalembert, who recently, from his sick bed (which he expects to, be soon his dying bed), sent a stirringletter to the "liberal priests and laymen of Germany," exhorting them to have c e nrage, as without the courage ous profession of the liberal Catholics, the "Church would soon be lost in the senseless triumph of a fanatical bigotism." Father Hyacinthe expresses his admiration of the wise and moderate words of the German bishops lately assembled at Fulda, which he thinks cannot fail to exert a most salutary influence. To the -question what course of action he would pursue if, as the common anticipation now is, the majority of the Bishops assembled in Rome should expressly sanction the ultra-Papal theories of the Roman See, and leave no room in the. Church for any who utterly repudiate those theories, the Father replied that this question will not come up for consid eration until the resolutions of the Council shall be known. He has no fixed programme yet as to his movements in the United States. He has come over to see and to study the country of which he has bees so long an ar dent admirer. In his addresses he has often in masterly eloquence traced the greatness of this country to its open Bible and its popu lar and free religion,--and---he-wants-to-s-e-e- With hu own eyes , whether the actual picture corresponds with his idea. After a iew weeks or months he expects to return to France; he may or may not go to the (Ecu menical Council; beyond that no programme has been-laiii out for the future. But the strong basis of his religious belief, on which he dwells with partioular emphasis,. is the be lief in the divinity of Christ, in the inspiration of the. Scriptures, and the excellence of the. Christian civilization of the ;nineteenth cen tury. • • EUROPEAN AFFAIRS FRANCE.

Among smaller pictures, admirablefor the decorationof ordinary homes, and-by artists of the greatest distinction, we may particularize Plassan'S (15) "After the Bath," Lobriehon's (42) "Spanish Lady," Hamman's (43, 44) "Spring" and' "Aututnn" and (109 ) " Toilet ," two more "Toilets" (53 and 106) by "%Villeins, animal subjects (57 and 58) by If enriette Ronner, the German Rosa I3onheur, Cocanans's (77) "Pompeian Interior" and (88) "PomPeian Beauty,"Hugues Merles, (118) "Angel'S Prayer," and many others, along with which we must not forget to mention a little chef dkeuvre by a dead master, "Venus borne by 'Zephyrs" (132), from the elegant. pencil of Prudhon, a light of the First Empire. . Soyer and Comte-Calix are also represented. Among American artists, E. H.

Victor Nehhg a fine study of a sewing -maid, cos tume Louis XVI., (117) Milne; Ramsey his beautiful fruit-pieces; and .George Pettit his head of Shakespeare's "Mariana in the moated Grange."

H r. *ioliertson really.diti steal Prpgress from the French of Sardou, as has - been al leged,he deserves rather more reprobation for his want of taste in selecting such a play than for the mere theft itself. Not that .2rogress is a rickety composition without .a:partiele of merit. As a literary work it is excellent, lt. contains some very good reasoning—too much of it in fact—and some clever verbalillustra tions of the superiority of present aVer.past time; and its dialogue ,generally" is" written with carefulness. But there is not enough' actien.in.thedram.n. The scenes 'are crammed full of dry talk which would suit the rooms of .a.debating drib, but whichis tedious-upon the stage.

About 2f feet belovik the 'isur • face , • they struck upon ' ..what they Supposed to be a large stone, and Mr. N. went for a crow-bar to remove it. Before he re turned, however, , his man had uncovered -two large stony feet and legs. Continuing their digging, they brought to light the perfect Sgare of a man of more than , giant size, and as solid as though chiseled out of the rocks of Onondaga. Some Conception of the sensation it has pr here ma3r be frirmed wheal grive you a few of the actualmeasureruenta The total length from the top of the head to the lower surface of the instep, is 10 feet 21 inches; across the shoulders the width_ is three feet larges the pal of the hand, 7 inches the finger is Hinches long ; the thigh is 12 inches, and the leg below the knee 8,1 inches in thickness. The fignre. was found lying on the right side, one band placed upon the abdomen, the other 'upon the back, and the left leg thrown across the right. The resemblance is complete. Everything is there—the wrinkles about the eyes, the Adam's apple in the neck, the full ,veins, the prominent muscles and bones, the natural swell, of each rib, and the clearly defined nails, both of the hands and feet. The face and features were decidedly Caucasian. May it not be a statue '1 The decided opinion of nearly. every, person.' who had t Seen it—and it has been visited to-day by some of the most highly-educated and intelligent people .of this city—is that its perfection ' the material of which it is com posed, and the place in which it was found, are against this hypothesis.
