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The Federal States flag was displayed, but soon after withdrawn, as several Americans of the Confederate States remonstrated with the proprietor on a demonstration which was distasteful to those who were also living at his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 with great applause by the party.
