EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MY 001 OWN CORIZIWONDINV.)
PARIS, FINDAT EVINOTO.
A paragraph, with a semi-official ai., in the
Patrie, is thus worded :

Several journals have announced that the Duke de Gram-
mons, in the course of conversations with M. de Rechberg,
expressed a confident hope that the cabinet of Vienna, being
made aware of the true intentions of the Emperor Na-
poleon, would, in case of need, mist him in dispelling the
mistrust which might be entertained at Rome concerning
the convention of September 15. Oar °corespondents in
Vienna repeat, on this subject, that the relations
between the two courts now leave nothing to be
desired, and that the attitude of Austria in the Roman
question will not be of a nature to render the solution more
difficult. The government of the Emperor Francis Joseph
neither elan nor will exercise any pressure upon the ponti-
fical court since the Holy See depends only on itself.
however, amidst the grave circumstances cf the moment
the Court of the Vatican should, aa is probable, ask advice
of Austria, we may be certain, one oorrespondent tell us,
that the sneerer will be inspired by a sincere desire of con-
ciliation, and a sound appreciation of the policy of the
cabinet of the Tuileries.

This is the moat friendly parag.aph towards
Austria that I have seen in a semi-official print for
some time.

The Nain Jaunt publishes this evening, with the
date of to-morrow, Oct. 22, a white sheet of paper,
which I venture to say will annoy the government
more than anything that it could possibly have
written. At the top of the front page there is this
heading, "Recapitulation politique-04 aliens
Inoue f'—[Political summary—What next I]—and
then follows a blank, which is continued overleaf.
It would severely tax the ingenuity of the
officials of the bureau de kg prase to word
a warning for an offence of this kind, and
yet all Paris will understand it as a
practical assertion that the censorship that
odious institution in French eyes which even
the legislator of the coup d'hat shrank
from reviving —is now re-established. The
Na in Jauhe ventures to take issue with
that formidable censor unknown to the con-
stitution, the "black man," who must evidently
have interfered with the article "Oh allons nous F'
What renders the incident more piquant is that
the Nain Jaime, which has only recently received
the authorisation to become a political journal, is
a warm supporter of the government, and is even
understood to receive a subvention. The quarrel,
whatever it may be about, would therefore seem to
partake of a civil war, and the Nain Jaune flatters
itself that it belongs to the strongest party.
The Independance mention,, but with incredulity,
a rumour that the Marquis de Pepoli's visit to
Paris immediately after his interview with the Czar
at Darmstadt is connected with a grand scheme for
a French, Italian, and Russian alliance, to be fol-
lowed by a general disarmament.
The Marquis de Pepoli breakfasted with the
Emperor, at St. Cloud, yesterday.
The Bourse has been much firmer to-day. There
was some hesitation at the opening, and Rents
was quoted for a time several centimes lower than
yesterday ; but the low prices at length tempted
buyers to come forward, and the latest quotations,
64fr. 90c., both for cash and &exeunt, show a rise
of 10c. A large business was done at the im-
proved rates. Mobilier rose lOfr., and Credit Fon-
cier 30fr. Railways were fully from bfr. to 10fr.
higher.

Madame Erlanger, née Slidell, has announced
her intention of getting up a bazaar for the benefit of the
wounded Confeder►tes. The prettiest young Southern
ladles now in Paris hays been asked to preside at stalls.

. -
Dr. Liszt has been in Paris, and it is said, by the
Gazette !Frustrate, that he will return thither is the epriog
of 1865, for the purpose of conducting concerts, at which it
is his intention to produce his own compositions.

The Marchioness de Boisey, some forty years ago
and more " the lady of " Lord Byroe's " love," now the
wife of the marquis whose oratorical Anglophobia makes
&none merry by its folly, is said to have given to the pub-
lishers a volume of unpublished verses bequeathed (?) to
her by the author of " Child. Harold."

M. Victor Hugo is about to publish a new volume
at lyriea, " Chaosoes dee Rues et dee Bois."

The vintage in Spain this year, like those of
France and Germany, is unusually fine, and the wine is ex-
pected to be equal to that of 1838.
The private view of the Winter Exhibition at
the French Gallery takes place on Saturday nest, the 29th
Mat. The gallery will open to the public on Monday, the
31st inst.

IMPERIAL TRAVELLERS. The Franche-Comte
states that u the train in which the Emperor of Russia
was travelling wu obliged to stop at Beeszcos for a few
minutes to allow another to come up and pass, his Majesty
alighted and took several turns on the platform accompanied
by a magnificent black Newfoundland dog. The Proceeds of
Lyons, after describing the handsome preparations made at
the Grand Hotel of that city for the reception of the
imperial travellers, states that by order no bed
wee left in the sleeping-room aaaigned to their
Majesties, am they always, when travelling, had
their sleeping apparatus carried with them. The Safer
Public of the same city says :—" On their arrival at the
hotel the august travellers found two tables served—one
on the first floor for their Majesties and their children, and
the second in a room of the ground floor for their suite.
The Empress, who was in a suffering mate* was removed is
au arm chair from the railway carriage to the apartment
prepared for her. She was not able, in consequence of
her state of health, to be present at dinner, but
was served is her room, around which MM. Manz and
Co., the eminent silk manufacturers, had disposed a
quantity of rich stuffs, as specimens of Lyons produce.
The Empress. being anxious to retire to rest, sent word to
thou gentlemen that she would make a choice among the
goods sent for her inspection on her arrival at Nice, The
Emperor graciously invited Marshal Caerobert to join him
at dinner. The Emperor and Empress travel in such strict
incognito that positive orders were given that no one should
be admitted to the railway viatica. All the company's
servants bad been sent away, and the station•maater
alone remained to open the door of the imperial carriage.
The Emperor and Empress were dressed is the simplest
manner; the Emperor wore a grey overcoat and one of
those rotted felt hats with a flat brim, which are cow in
fashion. As to the Empress, without giving any special
details as to her attire, we may affirm that she was dressed
with a simplicity that a bourgeoise would have disdained.
When a lady is Empress of all the Daisies, she may wear
the most simple articles with impunity. On their depar-
ture Marshal Canrobert and the Councillor of State, Prefect
of the BhucA received their Majesties at the station and
accompanied them to the railway carriage."

CONTEMPORARY POLITHR. —The Newry Tekgrapt
of Thursday says The death of the Duke of Newmatk,
who for some time past had been indisposed, Is announced.
He was bora in the year 1785, so that the deceased noble-
man was seventy-nine yearn of age." Our contemporary tis
confounded the late duke, who was burn in 1811, with his
father, who died is 1851. This, if not making history ism
an old 'lmams., is drawing it from a very old one. We
would advise our Newry friend to cultivate that " know-
ledge of references" whicii, according to Lad lialmesborY,
is knowledge iteelf.—.Northern Whig.
ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION AT ATH ENS. —A letter
from Athens of the 13th, says :—" It is now some years
sine Mr. Korphiotakes, the celebrated minister of finance.
was assassinated in the principal Street of Athens. Poor
Korphiotakes was killed on the spot and soon forgotten.
Another attempt to murder a minister of the crown, which
fortunately faded, was made on Tuesday, the 11th inst. its
Mr. Koumousdourcia, the mimister of the intense, was leaving
the com mittee-rooess of the National Assembly about 10 a.m.,
a grim Cretan walked up to him and presented a pistol at
his head. The minister, with great presence of mind, moved
quickly forward and pushed up the assaasia's arm at the
moment he fired. The bent arm allowed the overloaded
pistol to recoil with such violence that it struck the assassin
on the forehead, and, being stunned, he looked ohm:
helplessly very much as if he feared that Konmoundoa
was going to terminate the transaction by assassinating iii
amemin. Koomoundouros, who is a atiroog, well-built man,
collared the Cretan, and a crowd which immediately
collected would have executed Jeddart justice on the
culprit—that is, would have hanged him on the spot.
and tried him when there was leisure—had the
minister not delivered him out of their hands, with the
assistance of the guard of the assembly. The whole affair
pawed is a few minutes, and the courage and presence of
mind shown by Koumoundouro • have made him deservedly
the hero of the day. The murderer, of course, prctes.ds
to be an injured man and a true patriot ; hut the great na-
tional grievance which he felt himself called upoo to avenge
wite that Koumoundouros, though he is virtually Prime
Minister, has failed to give effect to that great oonatitution,l
principle upheld by Balzac, which would give Greek liberty
a real value by opening a bank account at the public ties-
am/ foe every Greek citimn."
FATAL GUN A °CHANT. —A young man named
Henry Beckford, belonging to the 22nd Deem Rifle Volun-
teer Corps, died oe Tuesday from the effects of a goo acct.
dent. He was returning from a day's shooting on Dart-
moor, a hen, feeling fatigued, he obtained a " lift" iu a
cart laden with earthenware. He placed his doable-
barrelled gun on the top of the ware, the muzzle pointing
towards him. No sootier bad the horse started than the
gun went off. He was injured so severely that be died
two lours afterwards.
