The alarmists in France have had '-a - good time of it this week. They have not failed to turn the indisposition of the Emperor to account. W hen it became known that Na poleon had suddenly given up his intended Visit to Chalons, and that the camp had been raised, most alarming rumors began to be spread abroad. It was generally affirmed that Napoleon Was in a most critical Btate, and tbft he would be operation, the issue bf'whl tended with the greatest danger; further, that by express order of his medical men, he to- undergo an doubt be at- business of auy kind, and that be would communicate^rith his ministers throng^ the intermediacy of the Empress alone. Wbat was still thole calculated to make us believe that there was some foundation for the reports in circulation, was that Prince Napoleon was suddenly sent for from his chateau at Prangitis, in Switzerland, and it transpired ihat the Imperial cousin (between whom and Napoleon III. there has always been a certain coolness) had been closeted for many hours With the 1 Emperor and Em press. It was even > reported, on the evening of the 15th iust., that the Sphinx of the Tulle- ries was no more, and there was, conse quently, for an boar or two, a great PANIC AT ST. CLOUD, where the Emperor and the Court are ahgtre- sent residing, until It was known for a cer tainty that the news of (he Emperor's death was premature. & is unfotliinata - thafc the Tim Meekly News anil Herald s published at $6 per year, or 75 cents per month, and The Weekly News and Herald Is issued every Sa-i.rday at $3 per year.

A. man, like a hone, caajtftt be matf figed until he has a bit is bis month. official papers should all along have been so silent respecting the indisposition at the Emperor, as the absence of any official bulle tins has been the means of keeping the public in great suspense. The truth has now come out: Napoleon IIL was for some days very seriously ill, but. thanks to the skill of his medical men, there has been, since Satur day last, GBEAT AMELIORATION IN HIS MAJESTY’S HEALTH, and the complaint under which be has been laboring is no more nor less than a sharp at tack of sciatica. The Emperor has been able to drive out twice since bis recovery, and on Sunday last paid a visit to the Empress Charlotte, of Mexico, at the Grand Hotel; on his way home he alighted'in the Bois He Boulogne, where he walked about and showed himself to the public for more than an hour. Thus the pessimists are disappointed, for NAPOLEON IS HIMSELF AGAIN. Public attention has been very much taken up this week with the dreadful accident which happened on the night of the fifteenth, alter the letting off of the fireworks. THE CATASTROPHE ON THE PONT DE LA CONCOBDE will long be remembered by the inhabitants of the French capital. In former years the fireworks of the 15th of August have gen erally been let off bn the Champ de Mars, but as this is the ground upon which the palace of the Exhibition is being built, it was fonnd necessary to let them off' near the Pont de Fena. The consequence was, that the public thronged on the quays and other bridges, and long before the first rocket was fired it was perfectly impossible to move either one way or the ether. The principal cause of the catastrophe was the obstinacy of the crowd, in not paying attention to the regulations laid down by the bolica The mass of the people coming from the' Boulevards and the Rue Royale was such that the mounted guard, after repeated attempts to resist the flood of people, was obliged to give way and recede as far as the Palais Legislatif No pen can describe the scene that took place on the Pont de la Concorde about ten at night, after the fireworks had been let off. It is im possible to describe all the heart-breaking incidents of this terrible event. More than eight bodies have been exposed at the Morgue, and fifteen children have been received at the police stations and have not been claimed by their parents. SUPERSTITIOUS PROGNOSTICS, Though we consider ourselves to be_ the most enlijfbtened people of t he W0£l^, our capital, the centre of civilization,is full of su perstitious people, who have not Tailed to call our attention to similar accidents which in France have always been the forerunners of the fall of the then reigning dynasty—for instance, the accident which took place on the Place Louis XV. (now Place de la Con corde) during the fetes to celebrate the mar riage of the Dauphin,afterwards Louis XVI., and that which cast a gloom on the wedding day of the Duke of Orleans with the Princess Helene of Mecklenburg—Schherin. The last accident was, I remember, looked upon as a judgment from Heaven.by pious Romanists, for a Catholic prince’s marrying a heretic. REPORTED ABDICATION OF MAXIMILIAN. It is j pow. affirmed that [the Empress of Mexico, far from coming to Paris to present InttferaClfae her aqg^sCInisSiX any ul ~ C-put fofWkrd Wftuadfes of ab dication, ns certain journals.: are pleased to imagine, the amicable and courageous com panion of Maximilian I has given to the Em peror a faithful description of the difficul ties already conquered, aod those which still remain to be overcome'in order to complete, in an efficacious and durable .manner, the political regeneration of Mexico. With the means of which the Government of Maximilian already dispose*, and those^ which the couotry could famish the general pacification would most assuredly be accom plished, if, up to the period fined for the evacuation, the French forces united to the Mexican army were utilized according to a plan of operations, combined in a Way to de liver the provinces of the north from the in cessant incursions of the dissidents. The Empress manifests the utmost confidence in the future prosperity of the Mexican Em pire. MEWS FROM GERMANY. Peace between Prussia and Austria will soon be signed, and negotiations are being carried on between Bavaria aod Prussia, and it is hoped for every body’s sake that a gen eral peace will soon be restored to Europe.

The weather continues to be very wet and stormy, Which obliges the votaries of faahioa to keep within doors; they are thus prevented from show ing off their fantastical dresses on the Strand. The Casinos are the only lounges possible in such weather, but thfy are considered “stale, flat and unprofitable,” and bear too much resemblance to the amusements of winter, dancing flirting by candle light and so forth. Before closing my epislic I will say some thing to you about the theatres aud other places of amusement. The former are not doing much and the latter are doing still less, for the weather is too ungenial for al fresco performances. Theresa aud her rival, Colombat, next door, at the Oufi des Ambassadeurs, in ibe-Cbamps- Elysees, are both squalling to empty benches and to the sparrows in the trees adjoining. On fine evenings, which arc few and far be tween, the Diva is visited by thousands, who come to pay homage to the prima donua of the day. There is a report, very much cred ited, that Theresa intends soaring higher next winter, and that she is trying to be ad mltted at the Grand Ooers; and is desirous of making her debut in Donizetti's well known opera of La Favorita, which was the tri umph of Grisi aud Madame Stoltz. Paris, which is generally quite deserted at this time of the year, is full of strangers, more especially English and American. The latter are to be seen mostly at the Grand Hotel, which has for some time past been the rendezvous of the citizens ot the United States It is expected that many American families will this winter take up their abode iq the Freuch capital. It is supposed that 'the Coming season will be very brllfiaut. : THE MULATTO COVVKSTIOS.

[Correspondence of the Now York World.] Philadelphia, 8ept- 3.—The mean white convention, in point of numbers, .is a failure. None of the hotels are lull, while many are empty. The Philadelphia Radicals have made a good display, turning out fairly in proeessiou and displaying flags in profusion, but beyond that-there is nothing calculated to excite the least enthusiasm. This con vention cannot be compared in any sense to the great Union Johnson gathering at the wigwam last month. The only known South ern men here arc Jobu Minor Bolts; Gover nor Fletcher, of Missouri; Durant, of Loui siana ; Thomas, ot Maryland; Brownlow, Hamilton, Speed, Mayuard, Stokes and a lew others ot like calibre. Of the biaiu aud intelligence of the South we have no repie sentatives. In the procession to-day there were many small banners, but the most of them called for equal rights for the negro, and applauded Mayor McMichael for not greeting the Presi dent on his reception in Philadelphia. Not five hundred strangers participated in the re ception. It was almost entirely a local affair, and such a oue as New would be ashamed of. t he Radicals themselves were disappointed Out of the whole Fire Department which was appealed to but ten companies responded, the conservative sentiment in the balance preventing any political demonstration on their part. The Common Council, as if ip add another insult to the President, met in the morning and extended the hospitalities to his traducers which they previously re fused to him.

[Correspondence of the New York Herald.] CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOUTHERN DELEG^BS. i ■ All lriglit long the orgies were kept up in some of the rooms at the several hotels, and the vagrant whites who register their names as delegates from the South proved that they possess one characteristic at least of the poor mean whites of the late slave-holding States —an unlimited capacity for tile storage of whiskey. In all other aspects they differ from the accepted description-0^ Southerners, and, with few exceptions, furnish counter part 'presentments of the unwholesome-look ing, long-haired attendants of -free love and women’s rights conventions. : ANOTHER crvta, WAR DEMANDED. faet x the ultra radicalism of these mean tern whites is’’ clearly induced by a de sire tophmge the jcbquri^. into' another War. “The negj-p must vote ori tifojr -must be in duced tp join- us and fightf” u the cry**"' has beenr raised her% score* Of times in har-roois. discussions of the (set hours. PROSPECTS OF "A 'a|p'H ST. SOUTH. Illustrative of this is the following conver sation, which took place tp-davatthe Nation al Negro Union Club Home, No. 1105 Ches- nut street, between a Virginia delegate mid one of the officers of the club. Mean white (injeply to a question)—Weil, sir, we are in a bad state. We can’t do without negro suffrage or another war. Either we mast call od the darkeys to help tts 1 as against the rebels and rule the rebels by their votes, 'or the rebels must rale us, or we must fight, And if we do, votes* we have very speedy help from the North, it will be a short matter, aa our numbers are so few. National Negro Unionist—I am -only sur prised that the negroes do not rise wheiever they can and burn down the towns. They could do this, aud they ought to do it. Mean White—Well, lhey T ll wait for a time. They are not ready yet. I have asked < hem myself, when they have been beaten or ill- used, why they dout turn and fight, and they answer, “wait till we’re ready, and then we’ll go in and see who'll kill and. burn.” And, sir. just as soon as the rebels get re constructed, and attempt to rule the blacks, there will be a rich SL Domingo at the South. THE NEGROES TO BE ORGANIZED FOE FIGHTING. ^Another illustration of the design of t«e WfestfWhites to incite a negro' insurrection was furnished this morning by the remarks of a Missouri delegate to a listening crowd at l f tfte'CbnfineUlal. “Id® not design to fight these rebels again with white meo,” was his remark. “Our policy is clearly tp arm r.au ofganfzfe' the blacks, and let them do ’._e work of extermination as far as in their power.” The whole tone of Jack Hamilton's hangers-on is the same as this. The truth is that Northern radicalism even does, not dream of the dangerous and villainous de signs of these Southern desperadoes, who, in a hopeless miuority at home—most of them adventurers and loalers, without any legiti mate occupation or auy chance of earning an honest livelihood—see no belter chance be fore them of beiteiing their condition than by plunging the country into a bloody war of races, sneaking out of dunger, and plunder ing during the burning and murdering that would attend such an outbreak. fkankfort- lefunct russian u, fibd the.

It is supposed thatTnomas and bis associates bad become alarmed at tpi ' fearful radical tendencies of ibe extreme Northern Southerners, and thought to coun teract them by a flank moveineut. In Ibis he lamentably failed, and the Convention passed into the hands of a set of rabid fa natics. Brownlow and men like him go the whole animal. They are for war to the knife, and the knile to the hilt. Strange to say, there seems to be no pros' pect of close affiliation between the South ern and the Northern representatives. The latter gentlemen, after a prayer meeting, con cluded to meet in separate oouveutiou, over which Governor Curtin presides. Why this is so the majority don’t understand, but the tact that the mean whiles of the South go in strong for negro suffrage, in order to get the darkeys to vole their ticket, while the mean whites uf the North are afraid to go so far, lor fear of influencing the coming elections against them, may have something to do with it, .va . It is generally conceded to-night that the Southern Convention will resolve that negro suffrage is an absolute necessity and must be iusisted upon. As a preliminary, they will admit the black representatives from Tennes see. Minor Bolts opposes mis. He urges that if the negroes are allowed to vote, their late masters will do just is they please with them. Butts at heart is not a Radical, and the majority seem to know it. He fee.s en tirely out of place in the Convention. Among the noticeable incidents of the day was the appearance of Fred. Douglass, in the procession and the Northern Convention. His appearance called forth tumoltuous cheers, and Fred, was in full glory. The other colored men who marched in the line wens likewise the recipients of an ovation, This foci has excited the disgust of many people who have been disposed to support Congress, but cannot go the whole negro animal. Douglass marched arm-in-arm with while gentlemen, who seemed proud ot the distinguished honor which had been con ferred upon them. It is a positive fact that negroiis were more loudly applauded than the “tried white loyalists,” as several ban- oers term the bogus chaps who pretend to represent the South. Ex Attorney General Speed will be se lected as permanent chairman of the South ern Convention, though Hamilton^ sBrown- iow and Botts are urged for the position. Bolts has been ruled out, however, owing to his opposition to the negro suffrage. There is by no means harmony in the Northern delegations. Some of their mem bers are known friends of Andrew Jobnsou, who will, if the thing grows too warm, either withdraw or else a row- A meeting of these gentlemen was held at th* Continental to-aight, and it was unanimbns- ■ly resolved to vote against negro suffrage at ail hazards, and if Johnson was assailed in the resolutions, to bolt.

The re porters were excluded. Enough of the pro ceedings, however, tranapired to warrantthe following account being jmbhshed- The questions discussed were ; First, whether it was desirable that the Northern Convention should meet again ; and second, whether, if the Southern Convention adopted the princi ple oi negro suffrage ia its piattorsf u would kiMMtmdllfoltucSio endorse it. The geueral expression of sentiment was in the negative of both these propositions, the Governors generally taking ihe ground that, while Individually they were in favor of negro suffrage, the people of their States were not yet educated up to that pout, ami that therefore, to aVoid this difficult ques- tioR„»t.Wa« desirable, £bat tficte should be no regular convocation or convention.

Notwithstanding the subsidized gaag ot hirelings and traducerb, I have discharged aU my duties and fulfilled all my pledges; and I say here to-night that if or predecessor had lived the vuds of wrath would have been poured oat upon him. [Cries of "Never I" “Three cheera for the Congress of the United States."] I came here aa I was passing, aud have been ceiled upon for toe purpose ot exchanging views and ascertaining, if we could, who was wrong. [Cries of "It is yon."] That was my object in appear- ing before you to-night, and I want to aay this, tost I have lived among the American people, and have represented them in some public capamty for the last twenty-five years, and where is the man or woman who can place his finger qpon one single set of mine deviating from any pledge of mine or in violation of the constitution of toe country? [Cheers.] Who is he ? Wliat language does he speak ? What does he profess? Who can come and place hia finger on one pledge I ever violated or one principle I ever proved fuse to ? [A voice—"How about New Orleans ?" An- -iher voice—"Hang Jeff. Davis."] Hang Jefl. Davis? Why don't you hang him ? [Cries sf "Give us toe opportunity."] Have not you got the court ? Have not you got the Attorney-General ? [A voice—"Who ia yoar Cnief Justice, who has refused to sit upon the trial?''] lam not the Chief Justice. Iam not the prueecutiug attorney. [Queers.] Iam not toe jury. I will tell you what 1 did do. I called upon your Congress that is trying to break up the Government [Cheers, mingled with hlsaee; great coufosiou—"Don't get "fd, Andy."] Well, I will tell you who le mad— "Whom the Gods wish to destroy they first make mid.” Did your Congress order any ofthem'to be tried ? Then, iellow-citizens, we might as well Alley our passions and permit reason to resume her sphere and prevail. [Cheers.] In presenting the few remarks ihat I designed to make, my intention was to address myself to your common sense, your judgment and your better feeling, not to the passion in yonr heart. [Cheers.J This was my object in presenting myself ou this oc casion aad to tell you “How do you do?" aud at the same time to bid you "Good-bye.” Iu this assembly here to-night to remark has been made/ “Traitor "traitor." My countrymen, will yon hear me, [shouts of "Yes,”] aud will you hear me for toe cause and for the Constitution of my country? [Applause.] I want to know when or where or, under wnai circumstances Andrew Johnson, not as Chief Executive, but in any capacity, ever deserted any principle or violated the Coustitutiou of his country, [Cries of "NdVer."’] Let me ask this large and intelligent audience if your Secretary of State, who served four years under Mr. Lincoln, aud who was placed upon the butcher’s block, as it were, aud hacked to pieces and scarred by the asaaesm's knile, when be turned traitor. (Cries of "Never.”] If I were disposed to play the orator, and teal in declamation tonight, I would imitate one of the ancient tragedians, aud would take William H. Seward and bring him before you, and point'you to the hacks sad scars upon bis person. [A voire ‘“God biesahim." - ' I would exhibit the bloody garments, saturated with gore from his gushing wounds. Then I would ask you why not hang Tiled. Stevens and Wefidell ; Phil lips? 1 tell you, my countrymen, I have been fight ing the South and they ackuoweldge their detest and accept the tertna of ihe Coustitutiou, and now, as I go round ihe circle, having fought traitors at the South I am prepared for traitors of the North. [Cbaere.] God willing, with your help ws-wtiido it. [Cries of “We won’t."J It will be crushed North aud South, and this glorious Union of ours will be pre served. [Cheers.] Ido not come here as the Chief Magistral* of the tweuty-five 8tatee but of thirty-six. [Cheers.] I came here to-night with the flag of my oountry and the Constitution of thirty-six States untarnished. Areyoufor dividingttiscountry? [Criesof "Nol"] Then 1 am President, and President of toe whole Uni- ted States. I will tell you oue other thing. I under- stand the discordant notes in this crowd to-night. He who is opposed to the restoration of (his Government and the reunion of the Stales is as great a traitor as Jeff. Davie or Wendell Phillips. [Lo*d cheers,] - lam against both. [Cries of “Give it to them I"] Some of yon taifc about traitors in the South who had not courage to get away from your homes to fight them. [Laughter end cheers.] The courageous man—Grant, Sherman, Farragut, and the lung list of toe distin guished sous of the Union—were in the field and led on their gallant hoats to conquest—to victory—while you remained cowardly at home. [Appltum. : "Bully!”] Now, when these brave men bare returned home, many of whom have left an arm or a leg or their blood upon many a battle-fleld, they find yon at aoms specu lation, and you committing framta on the Govern ment. [laughter and cheers.] Yon pretend now to have great respect and sympathy for the poor, brave follow who has left an arm on the battle-field. [Cries —“How was it about his nuking a speech on the fad of February?”] I have been with you in the battles of this oountry, and I can tell yon furthermore to night, who have to pay these brave men who shed their blood, yon speculated in, and now the great mam of the people have to wort it out [Cheers.] It to time tost toe gnat mere of toe people should understand what your designs are. Wbat did Gen. Butler say? [Hisses.] What did Gen. Grant aay [Cheera.] And what does Gen. Greet rey about Gen. Boiler? [Laughter end cheers.] What does Gen. Sherman say? [A voice—'“What does Goa. Sheridan say ?"] Gan. Sheridan aaya that he tefor tbs restora tion of the Government that SheridaS fought for. ["Bully," aad renewed cries of "NewOetosae," and countrymen who will always respect their fellow-citi zens when they are entitled to respect, aad there is e ponton of them who have BO respect for themselves, ead consequently hare no respeot tot others. [A voice—"Traitor."] I wish I could sed that man. I would bet yoa now that If the light teB en your face cowardice aad treach ery would ha seen to it Show yourself. Come out here where Jean tea yon. [Shouts of laughter.] I stood now where I stood when the rebellion com menced. Who baa sacrificed more for hia country than I? Who has ran greater risks?
