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.

by the American residents in London has no.
doubt reached you, as will alga the reply of

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

'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

that 'would remind you of any religious
hero that anybody ever heard ot: He was

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-'

too conservative for his audience, and was
expelled the room amid tremendous uproar.

been allowed the present interpreter, the invi

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.

If. H

from the French of Sardou, as has - been al

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

contains some very good reasoning—too much
of it in fact—and some clever verbalillustra

with carefulness. But there is not enough'

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

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

is a statue. This theory; however, leaves tha
