A fourth of July Celebration in Paris. --About thirty Yankees assembled at the Grand Hotel, in Paris, on the 4th Inst, to celebrate the Declaration of Independence. The Paris correspondent of the London Times writes: The Federal States flag was displayed, but soon after withdrawn, as several Americans of the Confederate States remonstrated with the proprietor on a demonstration which was distasteful to those who were also living at his establishment. Some of them, it is said, quitted the hotel altogether. There were several toasts given suitable to the occasion; and, in particular, that of the United States Minister in Paris, who, on learning that Mr. Slidell, the Confederate delegate, and had an audience of the Emperor a short time ago on the subject of recognition, informed the French Government it at if any proposals of the kind were renewed, his Government would consider it a casus belie, and he should demand his passports and quit France. His health was received wi

d is at present fully determined upon by Napoleon, and Gen. Forey, who, as Marshal of France, will reign over conquered Mexico, has received orders to that effect. The new Government of Mexico, or rather the French Government over that country, would thus be hostile to the Union, and, from that very fact, all the more obnoxious to our people. Sooner or later a struggle will take place, and Napoleon will then be taught that the Monroe doctrine is not to be despised by Europe, and that Americans are determined to carry it out to the fullest extent. Spain, we believe, will feel but little inclined to act in concert with France in the recognition of the South, now that our victories have so weakened the power of the latter. It will be understood in Spain that, as we command the seas, the Spanish possessions in the West Indies would be at our mercy were the Government of her Catholic Majesty Isabella Segundo to want only insult us by such a sterile show of ill will as the mock reco

bout which there has been so much heavy and profitless discussion. The plan of the Mexican empire, as now developed, is precisely that set forth by strong and repeated rumors when Napoleon joined the tripartite coalition against Mexico. The promulgation of the Mexican Empire under French is important in the next place, as it enables us to clearly see that an affiliation between the so called Southern Confederacy and Louis Napoleon is absolutely certain. And furthermore, all loyal Americans can now comprehend the fact that the European Powers, whenever the opportunity offers, act upon the idea that the republican natives on this continent, living under constitutional Governments, are their natural enemies. The promulgation of the Mexican Empire, to be established and sustained by France, is also highly important with reference to its effect on the leading Powers of Europe. When the tripartite coalition against Mexico was signed in London, October, 1861, it is said that

on, to be composed of citizens of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and vicinity, whose services shall be immediately tendered for the common defence of our beloved though imperilled Union. Mr. Bowden, in eloquently supporting the resolution, was followed by Thos. M. Brown, Esq., in an argumentative and eloquent, though brief, speech, his manly and graceful form harmonizing with the patriotism beaming from his noble countenance, inspiring his hearers with the proper sentiments and feelings of true Americans. On motion of John H. Berum, Esq., the Chair was requested to invite persons to come forward and enroll their names for the four companies to constitute the battalion. In the incredible short space of thirty eight minutes four hundred and twenty five names were obtained. At this stage of the proceedings, the utmost enthusiasm prevailing, James Green, Esq., with his proverbial munificence, came forward and gave a check on the Bank of Virginia for $1,000, to be appropriated to the su

Later from Europe. The steamship Africa, with dates from Liverpool to the 23d, arrived at Halifax on the 1st inst. The following is a summary of the news. The Army and Navy Gazette says: It is gratifying to know that the Government is not blind to the danger of difficulties with America, nor is it indifferent to the perils of a rupture, which we trust the good sense of all respectable Americans will aid us in averting. The same journal adds: It is with no wish to flatter the great republican tyranny which is now raising its head on the North American continent that we again record our conviction of the ultimate success of the military means the North has set to work to crush the heroic efforts of the South. If Gen. Lee is now able to give one knockdown blow to the Federals and seize Washington, or even if he should rout the Army of the Potomac, the effect will be so great that another year will be gained, and with it who knows what gain, may be obtained fo

of his own Government he says nothing, except that it is preparing to prosecute the war as before. But what is to be the end? Europe thinks that the reconstruction of the Union by force of arms is an impossibility, and a very great number of Americans are of the same opinion. Europe also sees distinctly that the South gives not the slightest sign of concession, while even the fortunes of the war are not, upon the whole, very unevenly balanced. Not, therefore, without reason do we persist in In the "domestic controversies," which have cost upwards of 500,000 lives and at least five hundred millions of money in two years, we have not the least design of interfering.--The "adjustment" of these little matters we are ready to leave to Americans themselves as "exclusively" as Mr. Seward can desire; and if we add another remark upon a point so certain, it is merely to suggest that people who thus busy themselves even superfluously in deprecating our intervention might be a little less

st. It would be well were it possible to interdict from access to our ports veritable sea rovers, for the Florida is nothing else. Now we believe that is possible. The rights of belligerents have without doubt been conceded to the Southern States, but it is evidently on the condition that they conform to the regulations of international law. They have not the right, as they assume, to stop vessels which they meet on the sea, to take possession of the cargo, whether it belongs to Northern Americans or to neutrals, and burn the vessels, although a captain of the State navy, wearing the uniform of his country, and presenting many other guarantees for honesty and impartiality, would be obliged to take his prize before a court of justice.--That is evidently intolerable. It is in vain that Southern people allege that their ports being blockaded they have no maritime tribunals. That is their affair and not ours.--Let them attack the American ships of war, and compel them to raise the blo

n, and we believe it to be his duty to again call them together in case they adjourn at the time stated in said resolution without affording relief to the grievances of the people. 6. Resolved, That awakened to a sense of the abject posture to which labor and we who labor have been reduced, and to the privileges which as citizens and people the institutions of our country rest in us, we will not sleep again until our grasp has family clenched the rights and immunities which are ours as Americans and men; until our just demands have been met by the concessions of all opposing elements. 7. Resolved, That as freemen we abhor and detest the idea that the rich must take care of the poor, because we know that without labor and production the man with his money could not exist, from the fact that he consumes all and produces nothing; and that such a dependence would tend to degrade rather than elevate the human race. 8. Resolved, That it is the duty of the Government to take care

Austria and the United States. --The Cincinnati Times publishes and extract from a private letter received by a citizen of that city from a gentleman of Vienna, Austria, which discloses a new reason why Maximilian was induced to accept the throne of Mexico. The writer of the letter, says the Times, has from his position rare opportunities to ascertain diplomatic secrets: Vienna, August 20, 1863.--I can also give you a little political information, which may interest you Americans. You may remember the Kostza affair, and the so-called Hulseman letter. The Austrian Government has never forgotten nor forgiven the insult then offered to her flag and her diplomatic representative. The insult was given to Austria, she thinks, because her naval power was small, and because she had no efficient means to resent it, and therefore had to pocket it. They believe here that the United States would not have done so to either France or England. When the first overture for the Mexi

r ancestors, be made to suffer the penalty of their iniquity? Or, if we must give up the slaves, give us back the consideration which our ancestors paid to your ancestors for them, and which you have put into your own pockets. We submit that, if the South ought to give up slavery and all the wealth of which it is the foundation then it is equally the duty of those who, Lord John, Russell admits, introduced that "most horrible crime" to surrender all their gains from the sale of slaves to Americans, and all the accumulated profits of those gains, so that no living man in England shall continue to own a dollar's worth of property of any kind which is the product of the slave trade or of slave labor. What, then, would become of British manufactures and commerce, and of the enormous private fortunes in England which had their origin in the profits of the slave trade? Nay, more. If the wrongs and crimes of Earl Russell's ancestors are to be rectified by the present generation, why
