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. One sort or another, perpetrated through the press, or at Obit() meetings or elsewhere. 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 !
