Tint Emperor and Empress left Fontainebleau this morning at twelve o'clock, and arrived at the palace of the Tuileries at a quarter past two. There was no official reception. The Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde have also returned to Paris. The season will now begin, and great efforts will be made to render it as gay as possible. The mayors of the different towns officially con. nected with the Hotel de Vile have been required to build state carriages, to be used at all public recep tions. The senators have been reminded that some outward show is necessary to keep up the prestige of their rank; and the Councillors of State and official dignitaries have been given to understand that the state of affairs requires a full representation of their positions. In fact, everything will be done to con tribute to the splendour of the Imporial Court, and to interest the shopkeepers in the maintenance of the present order of things. Titr festivities at Fon tainebleau have been sumptuously heavy ; and the proverbial affability of the Impe►ial hosts has not been able always to dispel ennui. The ladies found themselves obliged to change their dresses several times during the day, to comply with the fashion re quiring a different costume for every varied amuse ment. The fusion of Gnizot, declared confusion by Thiers, having now become a fait accompli, some result is naturally looked for—either in a change of attitude in the high contracting parties towards France, or in a formal declaration of rights addressed to the Euro pean Courts. Here, this family compact has had no effect ; it has united no parties nor satisfied any am bitions. The Imperialists view this fusion of the elder with the younger branch of the Bourbons as THE PRESS. an immoral scene in private theatric als, badly got up' and worse played. On Wednesday. Dec. 7, the statue of Marshal Ney, erected by order of the Emperor, will be inaugurated in the grand alley of the Observatory, on the s pot where his execution took place in the Luxembourg, on the corresponding day, sai. Isls. Domiciliary visits continue to be made by the police in the departments, as yet without any result. Eugene Sue has commenced the publication of a new novel in the Slick, entitled " La Famine Joni froy," with a dedication to M. Victor Schwlcher, his friend, a pr o icript at Jersey, he himself writing from Annecy le vieux, in Savoy, where he is residing. The culture of cotton in Algiers is receiving great encouragement from the tiovermnent. The Prefect has recently made a journey to visit the plantations in his district, and has found them universally luxuriantly flourishing, and has reported that shortly this province will furnish enough cotton to supply the ordinary demands of tho manufacturers in France. An imperial decree of the 29th November approves of the election of M. le Comte de Niettwerkerke by the Academy des Beaux Arts to fill the vae i ntey we& sinned by the death of M. Aristide Dumont. The Tribunal of Correctional Police have acquitted, in the audience of 29th November, Messrs. Dumont, the editor of the Estafette, Pecourt, editor of the Beho Agriefde, and Anger, editor of the Bulletin des Mlles et Marehi*, inculpated for the publication of false news. The defendants had given as the ruling quota tions in the corn-markets prices differing front those furnished by the official lists. However, these varia tions were not considered of sufficient gravity to eon. %Witte the offence contemplated by the law Decree of the 17th February, Iso2, Art. 1:i), of publishing false news with malice prepense ; thus they were pronounced Not Guilty. There is literally no news up to this moment of the slightest consequence. A report was widely circulated in Paris on Wed. nesday that an attempt had been made on the life of the Emperor at Fontainebleau. The only foundation for the rumour was the fact that Louis Napoleon had a fall from his horse while limiting, but without having sustained any injury. The Moniteur, in announc ing that there would be no far on the occasion of the anniversary of the !hid of December, states that the only officially recog nised fite is that of St. Napoleon on the 15th of August. A new fife, instituted by the Archbishop of Paris, and called the Fiti des Ernie*, was celebrated for the first time on Sunday last in the church of Sainte Genevieve (late the Pantheon). The professed oh jeet of this.fitc was to show forth and extol the re eonciliat. and union of religion and science. M. Fortoul, the Minister of Public instruction, was pre sent, and the concourse of men connected with lite rature and the arts who attended IV Rs unusually large. The archbishop, after the mass, read a eulogium of Augustine 1., in the course of which he paid a high compliment to Corneille, Racine, and Boileau, but did not pronounce the name of Molii\re, the great French comic writer not being in good odour with the clergy. The rumour that the Government intended licensing gaming.houses in Paris is once more olli dally contradicted by the Monitear. The four caudoyis of the Orleans line, tried for having by their negligence occasioned the late catas trophe, have been found guilty by the Poitiers Court. Baron de Creverwur is sentenced to a year's impri sonment and I,ollof. fine, M. de Sassenay to two years' imprisonment and 1,500 f. fine, M. Lemke to one year and :loot tine, and M. Leroy to six months' imprisonment and :Matt. fine. M. 1l )eon, the mana ger, is declared civilly responsible. Saturday's Moniteur publishes the imperial decree ordering the formation of ten new battalions of Chasseurs de Vincennes, with ten companies a piece; and also the addition to each existing battalion of two new companies. An order for the withdrawal of a snflicient number of men for these purposes foam time regiments of the line is given, so that the general effective strength of the army may not lw added to, though the etileiency of this particular arm is so largely increased. Each battalion of Chapman, will contain 1,..15m men. The increase of that force consists, therefore, of about 15,440 men. The rin cipal manufactories of arms in French are actively engaged in the fabrication of carbines, on the model of those of the Chasseters de Vincennes, for the sup ply of these new battalions. It is stated that the Ministerial paper, the Pays, will speedily publish an article by way of reply to the announcement of the fusion, or rather to the mani festo which the princes are expected to address either to the French nation or the European powers. The object of the fusionists, as avowed by some of them selves, is to take advantage of any occurrence in the political world, foreign or domestic, for time further• ance of their object —a royalist restoration. In case of any accident to the Emperor, an appeal is to be made to the army, who, they appear to think, will, without much hesitation, accept their chief. They will permit. they say, the present Emperor to con tinue to reign ; Lint, should any accident occur, they will not suffer another Bonaparte to succeed him ; and, as for the " will of the nation," which, it is the Emper►r's boast, gave him the crown, they declare they will take no heed of it, as, even suppoaing it to have been faitl►fudly capressed, the nation acted under an hallucination. and should he regarded as a mania•, or a person who has not arrived at the years of discretion.

The approaching visit of the I hike and Duchess of Brabant at Stuttgardt and other South I fennan 'inirts, and subsequently at Vienna, has been arranged by Austria as an antidote to the French visit mid influence.
