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The Federal States flag was displayed, but soon after withdrawn, as several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.
