PARIS, THURSDAY EVRNING.

A correspondent of the Indipenaance Beige stij;
I believe I can assure you in the most positive manner
that a foreign minister at the Frem..h court has been Who-
rised to transmit to his government the officio: intelli-
gence that the Empress is enceinte. This fact accounts
for the probable absence of the Empress from the plat to
be given in honour of the Queen of England.

I hear it said to-day that a chamberlain has been

sent to London to make the announcement of this
great news to the Queen, and to inform her Majesty
that it will not be thought prudent for the Empress
to attend all the fetes, but that she hopes to be pre.
sent at those of St. Cloud and Versaillee.

The Independance reports that a letter from Ge-
neral Pelimier to a high functionary contains the
following post scripturn :

I have a weighty and difficult task, whi h was not of my
seeking, to fulfil. I hope to get thron,gh with it, but what
difficulties, &c. _ _

A mot is attributed to General Pelissier, which
tersely describes the skill of the Russians is fortifica-
tion, and the dogged perseverance of their deface.
Alluding to the fresh works thrown up with marvel-
lout rapidity by the besieged, within the radius of the
positions that the Allies have taken from time to time,
and which give occasion to croakers to say that when
the present fortress is subdued, it will be found that
a new Sebastopol has grown up beyond it, the go-
neral is reported to have written to the Minister at
War, "Lesßusses ne reculent pas, ils se deplarent"

Letters from the Crimea contradict the'statement
that the Russian Imperial Guard has already arrived
at Sebastopol. The Russian dead bodies found in
the uniform of the Guard must, it is said, have been
those of officers who had been long attached to the
army of the Crimea.
A letter dated Abo, July 27, in the Ncttional Ge•
mite of Berlin, says:
Oa the 19th the corpse of an Englishman was feud in
the water at Trangsund. lie hau received a ball in the
head in the affair of the 13th From has uniform he mast
have beast a lieutenant on board the Arrogant. The Bee.
shins mermen to bury him on the 21st with military
honours.

The Patrie, under the head of " Latest News" says:
Private despatches arrived in Paris announce that on Aug.
4 the allied fleets operated with success easiest Revel. No
despatch of more recent date has yet confirmed this fact...

I have already told of the failure on the first trial
at Vincennes of an incendiary balloon of immensei
size, destined to be employed n the siege of Sebis-
topol. A second experiment was made on Monday
last. The balloon was filled at the gas-works near
the Barriere du Trone, and was dragged by sixty
soldiers to the Polygon; but just as it arrived there
it burst. Yesterday a third experiment was made,
with no better result than on the two former occa-
alone. This balloon is said to have been invented by
Mr. Green. .

The Rents was very heavy at the opening of the
Bourse, but it rallied towards the close, and old•
mately rose 10c., closing at 67fr. 311 t. There were
considerable oscillations in the railways, but most of
them were firmer in the afternoon.
To-day took place the ceremony of inaugurating'a
bust of Marshal St. Arnaud in the Court of Honotr
of the Lycde Napoleon. at which establishment the
late French oommander-in-chief in the Crimea was
educated. The bust was subscribed for by some per-
sonal friends of the Marshal, and the old and present
scholars of the college. Marshal Magnan, MMs
Abbattucci, Fortoul, and Hanemann, several digit!.
taries of the university, the pupils of the Lycite, and
many old schoolfellows of the deceased, were preseet
on the occasion. The Minister of Public Instruction
made a speech laudatory of the public and privies
life of the late Marshal. The bust is placed exactly
opposite that of Casimir Delavigne, which wM
erected by subscription some years ego.
