OUR FOREIGN* CORRESPONDENCE.
P.uiis, December 12, 1SC?.
A Foreign Legion is forming bore, composed of Swiss,
Belgians, Austrians, etc., said to be designed to go to
Mexico, to take the place of tbe French soldiers, now on
duty there. As pertaining to the same point I may also
add that the Austrian government has recently authorized
an enlistment of 2,000 men a year, during the next five
years, ior the Emperor MAXIMILIAN. The friends of
Mexico, however, are endeavoring to procure the wholo
contingent at once, thinking, I suppose, that troops aro
more needed there now than they arc likely to be five
years hence.
M. ACGUsnsE T. DE XrSBBIDS, thc son of tuc Mexican
ex-Emperor, on the Cth inst., addressed a note to thc
editor of the Eeenevitnt, in which he corrects some mis?
takes, made by the said editor, iu his account of the
Beveral members of this family. He says: "The Emperor
??TEBIDE, my father, left five sons .md four daughters,"
. etc., etc. You know these princes are to be MAXIMILIAN'S
heirs and successors, i. e., in case he should die without
issue, and in case, furthermore, he should die Emperor
of Mexico.
Spain appears to Lave a great faculty for getting into
trouble. Marshal O'DONNELL and his colleagues have a
?'big job" on hand. With a bankrupt treasury, .thepeo?
ple anything but loyal, the Chambers in opposition,
tbeso Ministers allow the hot-headed Admiral PAEEJA
to blunder them into a war with ChiU. I suppose they
thought it safe enough to bully a weak Ettie Soutb.
American Republic-. But in this they find themselves
very much mistaken. Little Chili has abundance of
Spunk, draws back, rolls up his sleeves, and cries :
! '.'Now come on, old Don Quixote, and fire away, if you
dare!" The wholo quarrel is so palpable a piece of ab?
surdity, so clearly nothing but bullying on thc part of
, 'Spain, that every mar?timo power of Europo and
America has remonstrated against it in the strongest
; terms. And there old Admiral PABEJA still lies before
. Valparaiso, where he hos l>een threatening a bombard
- ment for over four months, and has not yet fired a shot.
If Spoin sbjould^nerslst ha her course, sho will inevitably
. . bot her head 'against a stonewall, chili has already
*_ issued a n-omboi?of letttrs'of marque, and it will not be
"". .*c~5g~br^>r.?lti? wiii'fo-iinanU'h marine- win bo a thing of
ibo past! But I think the protests of the""Great Powers
have put an effectual quietus on this tempest in a tea?
pot.
Ia my last letter I had a short paragraph about Italy;
end should bavo mentioned that thc new Eingdom bas
been recently recognized by Bavaria and Saxony. [The
Queen of Naples being a Bavarian Princess, this act
must dash into atoms tho last prop of the deposed Nea?
politan royalty.] The other German Slates will doubt?
less soon follow; and his Majesty of Hapsburg, and his
Holiness the Pope will find ere long that history cvor
repeats itself, and that they must now swallow ibetr
wrath, and Uko George UL, of Euglaud, in the case of the
' thirteen American Colonie,, acknowledge their late in?
surgent subjects as sovereign and independent.
You have ere this read tho Bccouut of the death of
King LEOFOLD. There is a great deal said and written
about him, just now, and speculations, surmises and
prophecies aro met with everywhere regarding the future
of Belgium. Tlie young King is not thought equal to bis
position. Ho is said to have neither the wisdom nor tho
tact of his illustrious father. Faction runs high in the
Belgian Parliament, and foreign interference is dreaded
by many. Tho French papers, however, indignantly
throw back all such imputations. They say that France
could have possessed herself of Belgium in 183L if she
bod sought territorial aggrandizement; France wants
peace, &c. But inasmuch as the Integrity of Belgium is
guaranteed to her by all tho great Powers, I do not
think we need fear a dismemberment of the little King?
dom, and still less her being swallowed up alive by auy
Of her neighboring gourmand*.
The French, by the bye, always put on a patronizing
air wheu they discourse of Belgium or Italy, and feel
proud of their prosperity-they both being considered
the protges of France-a sort of adopted children.
The Americans had a great dinner at the Grand Hotel,
on President JOHNSON'S Thanksgiving Day, numerously
attended. I was not present myself, but learned that
some two hundred persons enjoyed this splendid ban?
quet. The company was fine, the wines were good, tho
potage, the releves, the entr?es, the entremets, kc, kc,
all in the highest style of tho art. Toasts tvere drunk,
speeches made, and all went merry as a marriage bell;
bad not one ill-bred American (who seems to justify M.
DE LAMAETINE'S picture), marred the entende cordiale,
by an unseasonable outburst of patriotism. When the
toast was given: "To his Majesty, the Emperor of the
Frene' ." this marplot jumps np and eries out: "No
American can drink (bat teas*, while .-. bingle French sol?
dier remains in Mexico." But no O?C heeded bim, and
the noisy music scon drowned his effervescent national
enthusiasm. General ScuoElELU's toast, "Tho old
friendship botweeu France and the United States; may
it be increased and perpetuated," put everything to
rights; the more so, as there bad been so many bellicose
rumors in connection with his arrival in Paris.
I have said nothing thus far in my letters about Ire?
land and Fen bul ism, although it bas been one ot the
leading public topics for some time. This sileucc on my
partis not ow; ag to any want of interest in, or sympathy
for, Ireland. Quite thc contrary. I have been a warm
friend of Ireland and thc Irish since 1S-17, watched the
rise and progress of the struggle for liberty in HIS to its
sad denouement, afterwards became acquainted with
several of the most distinguished exiles, the misguided
victims of that revolution, and with them had frequent
conversations on the present state and future prospects
of Ireland. Tho Fenian movement, I knew from its in?
ception, was doomed to the same unhappy fata as the
?meutes of '93 and and I was deeply grieved when I
found tho extent and ramifications of the Order, both la
Leeland and in America. Tho French have a greal deal
of affection and sympathy for Ireland, for varions rea
Bons, the chief, doubtless, being the hereditary national
hatred of perfide. Albion. Both nations being Catholic in
religion, is another strong boud of union. Many Irish
soldiors of fortune, moreover, have shed their blood on
French battle fields, and contributed not a little to the
lustre of the national arms. The trials, for high treason, '
Of UK. unfortunate Fenians, both in Liverpool and Dub
liD. are watchod hero with tho greatest interest; and thc
i-scapo of STEPHENS was hailed with delight by tho whole '
French nation. The latter, I hav e reason to think, is in
Paris at this time.
I had tho pleasuro of grasping an old friend by tho j
hand a few days ago-Mr. JOHN MITCHEL, well known j
to many of your readers. He looks rather better, though ?
a trifle older, than when I saw him Inst, at Richmond, on :
the second day of April, 18C5, when the baud of relent- !
less tate had tightened its ?rasp upon the poor Confedc- \
racy. Mr. MITCHEL keeps himself very quiet here, ap- ?
parently not taking the least interest in any of the great
political questions of tho day. nc is very reserved and
cold ia his manner, and although one of the most bril?
liant writers I have ever met, by no means as facile or
interesting in conversation. Ho is a little turned of
fifty. I should say, looks habitually sad and thoughtful,
and is considerable of a pessimist in bis views of life
andmon. This indeed, is uot very surprising;for,if
ever man has been hardly dealt with nnd persecuted,
JOBS MI?CHEL is that man. His has been a very che?
quered career, far. surpassing the heroes of romano- :
but, through it all, misfortune seems to have marked
him for her own. I have ever felt the strongest sym?
pathy for this poor exile of Erin, and ho and his interest?
ing family have my devoutest, most heartfelt rwy? for
their welfare nnd prosperity.
The papers here are delighted to get h?h. of a piece of
scandal about the 'English royal family. A great deal is
said about thc difference between the Queen and the
Prince of Wales, which took Its rise by the policy adopted
by Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet, in regard to the Schles?
wig Holstein imbroglio. This breach lias been daily
growing wider. [This antagonism between the rising
ami thc setting sun seems to be one of the normal con?
ditions of Court lifo. History teems with simile instan?
ces.] Now we leam that the Princess HELENA, third
daughter of VICTORIA, aged twenty years, is to murry
Priuce CHRISTIAN, brother of the Didtc of Augustenbnrg,
who has lost his all by thc event of thc late war of tho
Danish Duchies. Tho Duke is now a Prince Lackland,
and, of course, his younger brother, thc son-in-law of
England to bc, is no better than a Dutch beggar. Why
VICTORIA should have selected him as the husband of her
daughter, is difficult to divine, since this step is highly
displeasing to both the Danish and Prussiau Courts, and
thus will be likely to increase thu family quarrel.
"Tho Gardens of tho Luxembourg" is just now the all
engrossing subject of discussion. Thc prefect HACSS
?AN has issued a decree, selling n part of these cele?
brated grounds, (to bo cut up into building lots and
streets,) for thirty millions of francs. Vandal, barbarian,
Goth, and every other complimentary epithet of the
catalogue, has been hurled from nil sides at thc devoted
head of the prefect. And yet, poor man, be ia not in
thc least responsible for it; so far from it, be is person?
ally opposed to thc step. M. FOULS appears to be the
true author of this piece of finan cooring. Poets, Novel?
ists, pamphleteers, caricaturists aud iudictcrs of para?
graphs, all are scratching their quills in pions indigna?
tion at this unparalleled sacrilege. Petitions are pouring
in to the Senate, and to the Emperor,-the burden of
all of which is "Woodman, spare that tree." My quarter
(the Latin) and the Faubourg St. Germain are in a high
state of excitement-and a mere spark would set this
whole inflammable mass into a revolutionary blaze.
The Emperor, I presume, will find it to his interest to
countermand the prefect's decree. One of the houses to
be razed to the ground, iu case these gardens are "im?
proved," and the adjoining streets straightened, is the
ono in which CHARLOTTE COBDAT killed MARAT. The
Parisian rabble has a high vencraation for this revolu?
tionary relic.
The Court stu.' at Compiegue, having a fino time, the
Klug and Queen of Portugal at present there as guests

PtuE HTACINTUE, the celebrated pulpit orator, opened

there every evening, and never has a less number of
hearers,
Lord BROUGHAM, thc papers state, recently passed
through France, to his pleasant restdeuce near thc Medi?
terranean, at Cannes. The cholera delayed hts migra?
tion somewhat this year, it is thought. Lord BROUGHAM
is now thc oldest public man In England, and his name
suggests volumes of reminiscences, historical, literary
and political. Tho annual pilgrimage to Cannes, I
fear, will not bo repeated ninny times more, and with
him will die the last great connecting link botween Eng?
lish past and present. What a rich legacy of science,
lcaruiug, wit, wisdom aud experience lie might bequeath
to the fortunate heir, were these testable commodities.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
[FBOM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
NEW Yonu, December 27.-For moro than a quarter
of a century-we will not say how much more, as we,
like Ute ladies, do not like to publish to the world our
exact agc, being a single mau matrimonially inclined
for a little more than over a quarter of a century then,
have wo witnessed Christmas celebrations in different
cities, towns and modest villages in thc United Suites.
It has never, however, heretofore fulJen to our lot to
witness such a celebration as this great city can boast of
this year.
On Sunday, tho day before Christmas, the rain feU In
torrents, casting a dampening gloom of disappointment
upon thc bright anticipations of the morrow's festivi
ties, thnt had for days and weeks past cheered the hearts
of old and young. Dut ou the morrow came the glorious
suu, shining in all his majestic splendor, and disj ci?
ting the gloom ns it dispelled the cause, and drying the
children's tears as it soon dried tho streets, thronged
with happy, pleasure seeking pedestrians.
The places of wurship vied with each other in the
grand solemnity of the religious celebration of the an?
niversary of thc noly Nativity. The members of the
Episcopal Churches assembled in large numbers, crowded
congregations attending Divine service at St. John's,
Gracechurch, ot. Paul's Chapel, St. Luke's, the Church
of the Holy Communion, au-.l the Chapel of the House of
Mercy.
lu thc Catholic Churches the solemn Midnight Mass
was celebrated on Chtistmas Eve, and long before tbs
suu arose on Christmas morning did the Holy Festival
commence in St. Patrick's Cathedral, St, stephcu'6
Church, St. James, St. Peter's and others. AU who have
ever attended these grandly imposing religious festivals
know that, the effect produced by witnessing them can
not be adequately portrayed lu a feeble peu picture.
Let us leave the churches, then, even whilst the swelling
tones of the organ aud the harmonious blending of the
music of hundreds of exquisite voices yet tremble in the
early morning air, creating little wa*-- of sound that
break against the house-tops and sprinkle drops of hap?
piness, which penetrate thc roofs and fall like heavenly
dew drops on happy sleepers, not yet ariseu to catch the
glories of the Christmas sun.
Come, now, out-doors into thc streets of the great
city, and let us look around. Whence comes this strange,
almost unearthly sound, that breaks upon the ear with
such a terrible din, and makes one imagine that aU tho
imps from Pandemonium had broken loose, after "tak?
ing a horn." It is the Bound of horne, but not created
by spirits of either kind. It is, however, the only outlet
that happy Juveniles eau find for THEIR exuberant spirits
ou this morry Christmas day. Let thom blow-let them
blow and be happy-let them blow and make a noise,
for oven full-grown men do sometimes blow their own
horns to make a noise in this world.
Buildings were decorated and dressed up, ladies were
dressed up, gentlemon wore their Sunday clothes, tur?
keys wero slaughtered, liquor was drank, some people
were drunk, and all were happy. The rich were happy,
and tho poor wero not forgotten. The various charita
ole associations took care of them, and a million mouths'
eat c million good dinners on that" happy Christmas
day.
At night-although thousands attended balls and par?
fies, or remained at homo to receive happy, welcome.,
guests-the streets were thronged, and tho theatres,
crowded to excess. Thus passed Christmas, 1SG5, inj
New York city. , j
Speaking of theatres rorainds me of tho fact tba* *h<|
eminent tragedian, Edwin Booth, is to mako his sjjfl
pearauco ncxt'week at thc Winter Garden. Of all ; thJ
infamous, scandalous articles the infamously notorious j
Prince of blackguardism-of course, I refer to the James |
Gordon Bennett-bas ever published in his infamous J
paper, the cowardly, petty, disgraceful, contemptible at-J
tack un Edwin Bo nb, stands forth as tho great capping<
o. tho climax-th's ont-heralding of tho Herald. Tho i
whole country knows that Edwin Booth is no more to
blaine for his brother's act than "wa"* AbcEW he blamed?
for Cain's-for the blow that struck down Abraham^
Lincoln brought as much pain and sorrow to tho heart
of Edwin Booth as it did to any heart that beats within
thc breast of any mau in the United States. s
Thal, tho Herald, actuated by spleen against the mona-'
ger of the Winter Garden (where Booth ls to perform),'
because he doo3 not choose to advertise therein, should.
bring up the story of the assasination, with tho inten?
tion of prejudicing the public against tho assassin's
brother, is unmanly, contemptible and Infamous. Th*
world knows Edwin Booth as a great tragedian; w
know him perso-,ally as a high-toned gentleman, a mau
of striet integrity, a man of talent, and possessing a
molest affability of demeanor that lands a graceful
charm to all. Thc catiro press of tho country will unite'
in condemnation of tho cowardly blow that seeks to
bring this gentleman on a level, in point of piibh>
odium, with the contemptible assassin who attempts^!
murder his well-deserved reputation. 93
Tho Fenian cause, which has of late been in a sorj^H
decline, hus bern very materially bolstered up br H
alliance with "Les Eds ?e la Liberte," a French 0~uW
dian organization formed for the purpose of sbakinj ?SW
tho yoke of the mother country, and coming under ?kb 1
folds of thc Shir Spangled Banner. England can put j
the French-Canadians and Irish-Americans h<.rtdu ren?
i?t in a very short time, unless the United States
Government chooses to open its mouth to receive toe j
offeree, plum. But wo have plums enough, and not.
worth our while to fight for any more, at least pt?lil the
i Southern plums are put back into tho great governmen?
tal' pudding.
New York seems to bo "growing with its growth, and
strengthening with its strength." Magnificent private,
mansions are springing up from day to day. On limb
Avenue, between Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth str???t?av
magnificent brownstone palace has Just. been firr-??8L
which cost about $120,000. Near to lt, on Frn'-jtWR
Btreet, four handsome residences have just been VUljS?.
at a cost of $00,000. Several similar buudlngsAre rinjr
in progress of erection ou Lexington Avenuc.^etween
Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth streets. Five more oLgo1
name sort aro going up on Forty-sixth-street Ia "yt
this is an ever growing city, and Paris and Londiu mtt j
look to their laurels. - H
Kislori, the great Italian tragedienne, is still dehnt
ing tbe European world. It has always been a tmvHfrJ
of surprise to us that no enterprising Yankee has tits !
undertaken to engage her for a professional tour ou the
American Continent. Shewna theonlyrival of thegpsat
Bachel. We saw her in Paris ten years ago, and cold?
er her-now that Bachel is no more-beyond aU dfubt
or dispute tho greatest actress living. If Jamos Gota?ou
Bennett wishes to play a card that will trump tho ticks
of all the non-Herald-advcrtislng .managers, let,. Bim
build a theatre In New York (be has plenty of mo!fey],
and set up a company in it with the great itistorl t**-its
head. We do not make this suggestion to injure^-the
managers, nor to benefit thc Herald; but we ari'actu?
ated by the purely selfish motive of wanting to searls
tori once (or Several times) moro.

a STEELE'S ?
"HAT HALL"
CIBCULAB.
JANUARY 1st, 1866.
III ADDRESSING HIS NEW TEAR CIRCULAR TO
;hc pubUc, thc Proprietor of thc almost world-renowned
.HAT HALL," No. 323 King-street, opposite the Mer
:hants' Hotel, cannot pormit the occasion to pass with?
out expressing his heartfelt thanks to his very numerous
patrons for the very liberal manner in which they have
ibown their appreciation of tho great reduction made in
ho prices of HATS since tho opening of the .* HAT
3ALL," in 1849. ?
The Past and tho Future, with curtains hung, sepa?
rates from our view thati which wo once saw and that
shich is y?t to be seen. But Memory, grateful Memory,
wings to the mind of the Proprietor of tho "HAT
?ALL" tho Past. It is truly a privilege, aUowed us by
lim who watches over us, so recall to view in the mind
icts of kindness received from feUow-man.
In this strain of thought, STEELE returns his thanks
:o tho public in^general for tho* unbounded, yos, un
iqnalled, support which he has received-particularly the
mpport received sinco his return from active servico m
?he "Confederate Army," which ho joined with honest
mnvictions in defence of his dear, dear, Sunny South.
Tho earth upon its axis turns,
And many people frown;
Revolutions, now and then,
Must turn them upside down.
STEELE'S "HAT HALL"
WAS INSTITUTED IN
1849,
under just canvas enough to steady the ship into port
with its first stock of merchandise, which goods were
readily bought up. for which STEELE wiR ever feel
grateful; since which timo tho watchword has been
"onward!" "onward!"-for but two things aro requi?
site for success, and these two things aro absolutely
necessary to tho accomplishment of tho desired object.
They are-first, a foundation in truth, treating all alike,
on the one-price system of doing business, which is a
good basis ; aud then, tndorui table and well-directed en?
ergy for its full development to an actuality, which
means something moro than simply opening a store and
niling tho shelves with goods, and standing up and look?
ing at them.
No one yet over accomplished anything great who did
not abu high ; and many things, regarded in the outset
is impossible, have been accomplished by cne?y and
perseverance, backed by a high and noble rosolve to do
di that could be dono by human effort. That the wiR is
dmighty, is too strong a term; but thcro arc few things
sclow the stars that human effort and ingenuity cannot
reach.
For tho future, we would recommend to those who
purchased in tho past to continue, for mutual interest,
ia deal at th.y'.HAT HALL." 'Tis true, the "HAT
SALL*' has ru"SSB. whteh govern its dialings. It solicita
>nly cosh trade? and prouts*.tatt tho' prices are loweri
'or HATS and CAPS sold there than tho samo goods caa '
JO procured for elsewhere. There are some who may
lave disapproved of tho rales; bnt as STEELE approves
)f thom, that settles thc question.
In pausing a moment to query myself, what next?
jrlght-eyed Fancy seized my hand, and roso with mo
softly inte tho air, about as high as a prudent balloon
vould think it safo togo; then suddenly-no, that's a
ittlo too strong; I must not try to excito my readers'
tredulity-say, then, I went at a speed about half way
jctwccn a streak of lightning and a streak of chalk. I
.bink that would bo safe, "ts Medial rei tutissimus ibis."
Vt any rate, in about three minutes, I wrote and dodi
rated to the public tho following:
Of all thc thousands that have bought
STEELE'S Hats and Caps, so finely wrought,
Some, although "few and far between,"
Perchouce have disappointed been.
H so, albeit ho has not heard
That disappointment has occurred;
Ho stands prepared (if proof there be),
Tho oversight to romcdy
For 'tis his rule, repeated o'er,
To every salesman in his store,
To think no time or pains ill spent,
That gives a customer content.
When tho "HAT HALL" was planted, it contained
the germ of success, which then ouly needed tho fos?
tering care of a discriminating public to bring it to full
maturity. This care has bceu exercised, and the fruits
have been part--en of by thousands who acknowledge
Its utility. It ?3 no longer an experiment, nor do tho
prospects of its humble founder rest upon conjecture.
It is firmly cstabUshed in public estimation, and bids
fair to live long, producing and reproducing advantages
to many. STEELE, Hatter.
