EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MOM ova OWN CORRESPONDINT.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The following paragraph in the France is im-
portant :
It is stated that the three powers parties to the treaty of
1832, by which the Hellenic kingdom was created, have de-
cided to make the Greek question a European question,
and to call upon all the powers parties to the Treaty of
Paris—namely, France, Rinsi:l, England, Austria, Prussia,
Turkey, and Italy—to take part in the solution. This sys-
tem is the more natural, because the Greek question has
now become the real Eastern question. Spain, although she
did not sign the Treaty of Paris, will be called upon as a
great power to take the rank to which she is now entitled.
I am not prepariiil to reconcile this announce-
ment with the principle of non-intervention which,
it has been said, would be allowed to prevail in
Greece. Probably the paragraph is only a feeler,
put forth iu consequence of the Emperor's wish to
find some excuse for convoking a congress, of which
he has long been talking. It is to be hoped that
the Greeks will find means to settle their own
affairs before the terms of the congress can be
agreed upon.
The Patrie gives a positive contradiction to yes-
terday's telegram which announced that the Toulon
fleet was under orders for Greece, and repeats its
former ass,,rtion that the Emperor's government
does not for the present see any occasion to aug-
ment the naval force in the Greek waters. 1 think,
however, that the Patric must bo wrong. All the
other papers confirm the news that Admiral Rigault
de Geuouilly is going out directly. The Pays says
that the staff and crew of the admiral's vessel, the
Bretagne, are being transferred to the Ville de
Paris, and that the change will be effected in two
days. It adds that the steel-clad frigate Invincible
will form part of the expedition, and that prepara-
tions for the departure of the reinforcements are
going on with the utmost activity.
The scheme for throwing open the bakers' trade
is thrown over. The Emperor allowed the coun-
cillors of state to suppose that his opinion was
favourable to free trade in bread as well as other
things, and accordingly most of them madeeloquent
speeches against the existing monopoly. But M.
Haussmann, the prefect of the Seine, turns out to
have been the bakers' Gueronnif!re. Since the
first meeting of the Council of State on the subject
lie has been closeted with the Emperor, and now
the Conetitationnel, humbly hoping it commits no
breach of confidence, publishes the first part of M.
Haussmann's report as a " most luminous exposi-
tion," though of course the Censtitutiouncl does not
know how the question is going to be decided.
The public, however, by this time does know, and
there is no doubt that all thoughts of the con-
templated reform are at an end. The France,
approving the decision, speaks of the danger of
Paris being starved if government were to cease to
