IPMEI46II I ICORRESPORDEICE LEM* FROM PARIS. tooresseedenee of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin-) PAM, Friday, Jan. 7,.1870.—The extraordi nary' political transformation of, which this country and government have been the theatre, can "only be said to have' been Coin pleted this warning, when the Journal Officiel an:mimes* the depositien from his high rank ant! office' of Baron Hatissrnann, Prefect of the Seine. I say ."derposition" advisedly, and not resignation," becatise, in this case, there has 'been, in fact, no tender or acceptance of a resignation of the functions in question. It 'is; indeed, a singular termination of so long a municipal reign, and altogether in accordance With the othee,extraa :rdinary circumstances of widish it fors tis the dottroleMent and , the finale. For:the ex Prefect of Paris wau a sort of alter ego of the rulperorialmself; the former being en petit just the counterpart of what the latter was en grind. The principles ,on Which 'both "ruled" were - precisely the-sa me; and the chief magistrate of thegOod city of Paris was just, as independent'of the 'will of his fellow citizens of the ,Capitril as the Emperor , was of those of • the French People at large. There - sew a curious similarity. -betvreetr . - the - two men ; and that is the rawer?, sipPose,' - why they have hung together, through good report and ill report for stinething like fifteen- years,' and may be at last almost.said to have fallen together. For that the Emperor has fallen' from the state of :hie palm,y days .there has been no such certain proof as yet given us as that he-has been compelled, nolens miens, to sign the decree of " dismiseal" of Baron Baussmann, even although that high , and fa vored functiOnary obstinately persisted in refusing to send in his resignation. That the new 31inistera had exacted this step, and that the Emperor have consented to take it, is the strongest manifestation of the determination of both parties to maintain and abide .by the conditions of the altered state of , thing*: The rule of Baron Hanssmann was the last re maining demonstration of " personal govern ment," and the new Cabinet insisted rightly upon sweeping that away with the rest, and the. Emperor has wisely yielded that point as he has yielded all the others. The history of the above incident and of the unusual word ing of the decree by which it , has been officially made i public, is, I believe, as follows:' Baron Hanstanann,‘ as is ;well known, has expended vast sinim 'of money in his improvements 'and embellishments, and some of .these, sums. he has raised by dubioua and extmlegalinearis; and sometimes, in fact, almoSt on his own personal authority, and on the security of his own signature. The conse quenco is that the revenues of the city of Paris, though enormous, and amounting, one way and another,. to something like two hundred and fifty or two hundred and seventy millions of francs, are, if not exactly embarrassed, yet in a considerable state of , confusion., Now, the Baron is a bold - 'and'able. financial wan, and full of activity and confidence in his own resources. After 'so long and absolute a reign, he naturally thinks that he understands, as no doubt he does, the financial position of the capital better than any, one else, and is confident that, he could work it out and bring all things round to a satisfactory conelhelottlf 014 Mite W.: do so. Moreover, he says, fairly enough, that his personal credit and reputation are 'at stake in this matter, and that it is not fair to compel him to trust them to other less able and ex perienced hands. If Igo out of office now, says the Prefect, or tender .niy re signation, ...the. . pantie will have a right to accuse me `of turning my back - upon esitu ation which.l,llave nryself reade;.and ,if MY. successor should fail in carrying out riy plans. successfully, ifis npon me that the bhuile will' fall. Let me remain until I have Wmpleted my intentions and set everything straight, which I feel sure of being able to ,due ,and then I can retire honorably. But if you will not do this, then , ypu must dismiss me and turn me out, for resign I will not. Thereis a good deal of reason in the above and .1 am rather it:dined to think thatthe Bare - alas beenslomewliat, hardly dealt with. The reply of his ativersaries,-• •however—and he—hes many and bitter ones—ii that heltad no busi ness ever to make the financial position of Paris what it is ; that he did so- illegally and on his own authority and reeponsibility,-and must take the consequences , ; that the.) , are not willing to confide the municipal administra tion any longer to his keeping; and finally, and chief reason of all, that he is so avowedly and nottorio9i indisposed anii'reveil hoidle to, constitutional or parliam4ntary govirii meat in any shape, and so wedded and habitu ated to act" of , arbitrary and irre sponsible autlioritf; = that it ' would be simply impossible for a constitutional Ministry to work with him, and an act of suicidal madness on their , partto leave so ardent and formidable' in opponent in the exercise ofsuch high and delicate functions ikstthe government of the capital. There is no doubt great, force in the;last ollibetian Baron Hanssinarin's remaining in ollice,andto this, I believe, it was that the Emperor chiefly yielded. The decree of dismissal, for such it in fact is, says that Baron Hattasmann is "re lieved of his functions," and appoints M. Henri Chevrean, a. Senator, and Prefect of the Ithone, at Lyons, in his place. Tinis we may really, , „say at Paris that all things have become new and that old things h. 7 l 3re aWa.Y.; for - without Baron Hausamann at the - Hotel de Ville, Paris will hardly feel like, itself. The Emperor will hardly know how to reward his, old servant and partisan, for he ha. 4 already given him nearly all the honors lie can bestow, and has made hirn a Senator, With the highest rank,' gra4d cordon, of the Legion of Honor. But the Ex-Prefeet has made for himself a name in history; and there are feW men who, when they are gone, can still say to, posterity with as much truth and force as Iffi will long continue 'visitors from all Parts of the earth : Simomoneniunt rittitf circion,spice. . • One of the last acts of the late Ministry has been to publish a report upon the results of the general ampesty , Of the 111th' August yipi to't)r credit of whieli"they, of , course, tipple thenise,lvea .entitlod. , appeals that okono !malted thousand person:: (92,411) OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.^ profited - by the measure in question. Of these, nearly one thotaland consisted of individuals condemned either to line er imprisonment for political offences of.

The last act of ail, however, of the retiring rigime was to begin, to. adds fresh list of such offenders by . ordering judicial proceedings to' be in stituted against the Rappel. .A.nd the very first official insertion in the govermnent organ by the new Cabinet was a note to the effect that the , above prosecution was the set of the "late,'' and not of the " present" adriiiiers of the crown !

Troppmann was executed on the 19th of ,January, without being allowed to visit the cell of Marie Antoinette. The N. Y. Herald's Washington 'corregipon dent sends a letter about Prince Arthur which Contains this richness: After the Prince got safely inside his pew there was a decided lull in the excitement. Some of the congregation would occasionally get on tiptoe and glance toward the royal pew, but without making noise or attracting special attention. People in the vestibule continued to talk very loud about the Prince, and some pf our city policemen distracted at tention by walking into the church now and again with. their hats on ; but apart from these fact; there was nothing in the .conduct •of , the assemblage worthy of special notice. • The ,• officiating .clergymen were Dr. T. A. Starkey, rector, and Rev, Mr. : assistant reetor. Bishop. Paine, of Africa, made thesermon, which was .a re Markably, dreary affair, devoted to an account of missionary. labors among the ,benighted negroes, and a feeble effort to lug in some thing to, tickle British ears by dilating on the beneficent results of English .cOlonization in China and Africa. The Bishop declared that le believed in naval officers; that they and their squadrons were •the great civilizers, Christianizers and enlightening agencies of the world. Were it, net for the naval avant coup riers the ministers of religion would not have been able to convert the savages and bring to them the blessings of the Gospel of Christ and of civilization. So much for the sermon.. The music was worthy of the occasion. Dr: - Starkey an, noimeed the seventieth, selection of , Psalms, part second, omitting, the second verse, which was sung by the choir. The omission of the second verse caused considerable comment anongthecongregatfon, which arrived at the conclusion that the rector, did it in deference to, the royal,worshipper. The words of the" omitted verse are EIS 1 . 0110 WS : r On the lion vainly roaring On his young, thy foot shall tread ; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. Why these words should be particularly of fensive to the Prince your correspondent could not ascertain, otherwLse than that members of the congregation.explained that the allusion to„ the treading on the lion and his young and exploring the dragon's den ,might possibly be toustriied into a personal affront. When the collection plates were sent around, the Prince contributed an English gniiica. TIIkrOgSIDENT AND PRINCE ARTHUR. , The silly story:that the President had been invited to dine , with Prince Arthur to-mor row evening, and had declined, is without truth, simply for the reason that lie has not been invited.

TRAGEDY IN THE COAL REGIONS. Attempt to Assassinate a Superintendent of she Kill Creek Railroad Compsny. The Pottsville Miners' Journal of Saturday says: bn Thursday evening last a bold attempt was' made in the borough of Port 'Carbon to murder Mr. Jonathan Shearer, who has charge of the office of the Mill Creek Railroad at that point, and the attempt came very near being successful Mr. Shearer lives in Mr. Boone's late resi dence in Port Carbon. On Thursday evening, shortly after 7 o'clock, a man knocked at the door. Mr. Shearer, who had been a short time borne, answered the knock, opened the door and asked, "Who is there ?" The reply was, ." You are wanted. There is a break down." Mr. Shearer asked, " Where is the breakdown?" The man then asked," la year name Shearer?" Mr. Shearer hardly had time to reply "yes," . when a pistol was pressed against his body. The a.s/iassin pulled the trigger twice rapidly, but for tunately the caps were snapped without dia -1 charging the loads. Realizing the immi nent peril in which his life was placed, Mr. Shearer seized the assassin by the throat, for the Purpose of forcing him out and closing the door. During the contest, Mr. Shearer's assailant raised the pistol and pulled the trig ger a third time. This time the ball was dis charged, and if it had not been for the inter positon of Mr. Shearer's left arm the ball would possibly have passed through his body • and killed him. As it was, the ball entered the left arm of Mr. Shearer, and striking the bone, passed up over the shoulder, and was subsequently cut out by Dr. Brown near his ribs. The wound is exceedingly painful but not necessarily, ,dangerons, and Mr. Shearer will, in all probability, recover. The assassin is supposed to have had a confederate, for immediately after the shooting two men were seen' to run rapidly from the spot,. The Colored V. S. Senator from Meals elppl.
