"The Consulate and the Empires" &C.


From our Pans Correspondent.


PARIS, Oct sth, 1874


Since my last respects to The readers of The
Tribune, every thing has been exceedingly quiet,
and the change we have undergone IN the course
of two weeks, from intense excitement TO ap-
athy, leaves this great City, with its thousand
attractions, comparatively dull.


The ratification of the Treaty by the Emperor
of Morocco has been received within the past few
days. 1t has given the opposition an occasion TO
revive dissatisfaction, by auding to the sacrifices
of France, and attributing them to the wish OF
the Ministry to accept Treaty produced through
British influence, and hastily concluded, to en-.
sure them on their approaching v!sitto England,
p favorable reception at St. James. Mr. Bulwer,
the English Minister to Spain, acted as media
tor between the Spaniards and Moors, and also
used his influence to terminate the difficulties ex-
isting between the latter and Franco. This cir
cumstance is seized upon as proof of British IN
huence. The three brilliant victories Of Tunis,
Is'ay and Mogadore, have cost France upward Of
20,0O0,000 of francs BY the treaty, the Empe
ror of Morocco agrees to punish the MooTs inpl-
Gated in the outrages on the French Consul to
use all means in his power to capture Add ell
Kader, and to deliver him to the French authori-
ties; and to keep no force exceeding 1900 men
under arms. The French are to restore the ports
OF Tunis and Mogadore; and, in the event Of the
capture of Abd.el Kader, are to treat him with
the regard due to his rank. These are the main
articles; and after three such costly and decisive
victories, they may well excite discomfort. After
the capture of st. Juan d'Uloa, the French Ad.
miral required guarantees from the Mexicans for
the expenses of the war, before abandoning the
conquest. The different policy pursued with re.
gard to Morocco, of not requiring the expenses of
the war, and abandoning the conquests even be-
fore the ratification of the treaty, is apologised
for by the Ministerial journals by saying that
France is rich enough to pay for her glory"


The probable reason is, that Add ell kader ex-
ercises an immense influence over the Moors, and
the French Government abstained from cxacling
the expenses from the Emperor, lest such course
would give the Arab chief an opportunity TO ex-
cite fresh troubles. Collecting money to pay the in.
fdels would produce discomfort that might enable
the Emir to dethronc the Emperor. "Notrbute to
the Infdels'' would be war. cry that would rally
thousands to his standard and his we'll known
bravery and skill would make him formidable
opponent. Tunis and Mogudore, however, ought
to have been held as security for the fulGment of
the treaty and sufficient could hayo been collect
ed on the imports to defray the expenses of the
war. The ill faith of the Moors is notorious,
and the only check to their inroads is the pros
pect of having nothing to gain. Had the ports
been held, there would have been some chance of
securing Add Kader, by promising to deliver
them to the Emperor when he had delivered
the Emir. We have news via England of an
engagement at Tahiti between the French and
Tahitians-the former are said to have had 900
men engaged and the latter 1000 The loss on
both sides is said to be nearly equal The French
are reported to have had 100 killed and wounded.
This account is doubtless greatly exaggerated,
the English papers accompany it with remarks
that excite the animosty of the papers here and
wordy war Is now commencing. Last week
the Parisans were delighted with an exhibition
Of the Moorish trophies. The tent of the En-
peror has been placed on the Place de Ia Con.
coree, where, in sight of the obesk, fountains
and statues, it has formed an attractive scene for
citizens and strangers.


The large tent is 43 feet in circumference, its
hight is 2l. Inside this is a small one, about l6
L
the private apartment OF the Prince. 1t contains
his bed with musqui,o net and several couches.
The inside is Of crimson cloth and is ornamentcd
with heavy fringcs. 1t ia completely protected
from the sunor rain BY the larger tent, which
leaves, between both, passages which have been
formed into apartments for the Kitchen secretary,
guards and attendants. The tents are supported
on large pole which can be divided into several
parts. The pole is supported upright by four
large ropes which are fastened to stakes in the
ground. The sides of the outer tent are 81 feet
Fhigh, the inner ones are feet high the out
aide is of q peculiar kind Of canvas, ornamented
with blue cloth facings. The Parasol is an art-
cls Il f-csent much the worse for wear. 1t was
9Iee asplendid specimen of skill, for the embroid
cry representing Arabesques is executed with
great taste and beauty. 1t is large sized um-
orella with a very long handle that would enable
an attendant of the Prince to hold it over him
while walking behind him. The flags are small
and some Of them look like silk pocket hancker-
chlees. One, however, among the lot of %, de-
serves mention. 1t is white Fisg on which are
inscribed passages from the Koran among
which is the well-known cry of every Mussul-
man "Thcre is but one God, and Mahomet is
his prophet" This Flag is called the holy ban
ner, and desperate effort was made to prevent
ltS fallDg INTO the nanOS ol Inc renC4. ne
City of Treves attracted this summer nearly
100000 Pilgrims to see the relics, which have
been deposited in the Cathedral for upwards of
eight centuries, and which are exhibited at dis
tant periods in the months of August and Sept.
The relics are garments said to have been worn by
the Saviour. No miraculous power is ascribed to
them, but their exhibition Is always accompanied
by strong appeals to the charity of the Pilgrims,
in behalf Of the distressed and afflicted of our
race. The siege OF Metz has been concluded
over 10000 men under the command of the
Duke de Nemours have been engaged in mining
and storming that strong city. while the Garrison
and Burghers were oountermining the mines and
making sorties on the besiegers. This cam.
palgn OF mimic war has displayed the skill and
perseverance OF both parties. The Artil-
lery have battered breaches, the Cavalry have
charged, and storming parties have escaladed
the walls, only to meet with desperate re
distance from the besieged. In this sport
there have been but few accidents, and the
knowledge of both parties in the ART NJ ry.r b,s
