EMPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TIIIIIDAY EVINING.

A semi-official article in the Pays protests against
the hard oonditions of peace imposed upon Den-
mark by Prussia and Austria, but not in the
threatening tone which the same journal was in-
structed to adopt a few days ago when those condi-
tions were only suspected. The Pays accuses the
two great German powers of abusing their strength
and losing sight of those considerations of races
and nationalities which were the pretext for the
war. France, according to the Pays, is "surprised,"
I "afflicted," has • right " openly to pronounce
her opinion on the matter," but, notwithstanding
" profound regrets" frequently repeated in the
course of the article, the main practical scope of it is
that France has no interest and no intention to
interfere with t►e German conquerors, who, subject
to their own " responsibility," are left free to
"violate equity and the principle of nationalities"
WI much as they like.
The Francs, in an article headed " The Capitula-
tion of Denmark," says that the conditions of peace
are " draconian," and that Denmark could not
possibly have lost more without being blotted
out from the map of Europe. Whether the
phrase attributed to M. de Bismark " might
is above right," was really uttered by him or not,
the principle in all its rigor has certainly been
acted upon at Vienna. " Purely arbitrary power
unfettered by any considerations of justice and
equity, has governed the arrangements which Den-
mark is constrained to agree to."
The Pays gives as latest news, and under all'
reserve, • rumour circulating in Paris that Lord
Russell has resigned.
The Jlositeur du ,Moir announces that Prince
Napoleon has again left Paris to make a maritime
excursion in his yacht, the Jerome Napoleon.
Whither he is going is not stated and he travels
decoy.

The confirmation of the news that peace is made
with Denmark produce] a decided effect on the
Bourse. Rents rose sc. for cash and 45c. for
account, closing at 661 r. 15c. and 66fr. 45c.
Mobilierrose 21fr. 25c. ; and Comptuir d'Bscompte,
2lfr. 50c.

M. Hachette, the well-known publisher, died
yesterday, at the age of 64. He commenced Duel-
ness in 1826, and of late years has been the largest
purveyor of railway literature in France. He
lived in a princely chateau at Flossie Piquet, and
his immense shop is one of the sights of Paris.

The extraordinary story which held undisputed
possession of the European press for several days,
that the King of Bavaria was about to pass many
years in travelling incest., is now contradicted by
the Aims/tem Gazette.

M. Moequard has addressed the following letter
to the Independence of Brussels :
