PARIS, SU:PDAT ETINDIG.

The Memorial Diplomatique is barren of news,
and owns that journals must for some time to oome
eke out a scanty existence on conjecture. The
Austro-French sheet does, however, deny that there
is any intention on the part of the cabinet of Vienna
of recognising the kingdom of Italy. The Patrie,
carried away by an enthusiastic movement, con-
firmed this report a few days ago, and added that
the haughty house of the Hapsburgs, inflexible re-
presentatives of divine right, was about to renounce
its political dogmas. The Memorial, with much
humour, remarks :—" We really regret to see a
journal so serious as the Patric allowing itself to be
led away by party spirit, and losing its memory to
such an extent as to forget what passed but yesterday
in France, when 8,000,000 voters proclaimed the re-
establishment of the empire. No one ignores, not
even the Patrie, that at that epoch both England
and Russia invoked the treaties of Vienna which
had pronounced the fall of the Napoleonic
dynasty. They stood aloof from the new
empire, and demanded guarantees, whilst Austria
adhered purely and simply to the great voice of
universal suffrage." Lord Palmerston might con-
tradict these assertions. Further, the Memorial
remarks, and with more truth, that as neither the
treaty of Villafranca nor that of Zurich has been
kept, the recognition of Italy is an impossibility,
for it would create a dangerous diplomatic prece-
dent.

The reason for the Emperor of Austria not going
to Berlin at the pressing invitation of the King of
Prussia to see the military manoeuvres is that
certain verbal promises made to the cabinet of
Vienna in relation to the treaty of commerce have
not been kept.
The Opinion has a few words on the subject of
the young Cohen, and prints some observations
forwarded by an officer of the expeditionary corps.
Au article in an Italian journal concludes its
remarks on the subject thus :—" Cohen has not
been given up to his parents, in spite of the steps
taken by the French ambassador." The Opinion
says—" We cannot understand such audacity. The
pontifical royalty only exists thanks to the arms of
France, and when our ambassador speaks he is not
listened to. France, Who might command, counsels
—and her counsels are despised ; the principles of
the civil code are violated ; whilst those of natural
right, the authority of the father, the despair of
the mother, and the liberty of the child, are all
basely confiscated. Not alone in virtue of the ab-
stract principle of separation between church and
state and the rights of Italy, but on account of the
great ingratitude with which our protection has
been repaid, we demand the end of the occupation
of Rome."

A considerable portion of Paris has left for Havre
to see the high tides. We have bad heavy showers
of rain all day.

On the report of M. Duruy, Minister of Public
Inetruct'cin tothe Emperor, a chair of Political Economy has
been eitallished in the Faculty of Law at Paris. H.
Radii., an eminent lawyer and political economist, has been
appointed professor of the new chair.
THE LATE ELOPEMENT AT Rom& —A letter from
Rome, of the 10th, says :—" The plan Wooed by the
goveromeot in agreement with the wishes of the chevalier's
relations, who are in a high social position in Rome, is to
relieve him from the monotonous sojourn of the cloisters of
St. Andrea della Valle, and furnish him with a passport
for Naples, where his uncle will receive him with open
arms. The young lady, meanwhile, without any moral
pressure, will have time to decide upon her future religious
and social career, and her relation, will set Recording to
her decision. Her brother, who was summoned by tele-
graph from England, arrived here this afternoon, and has
already commenced the esoessary inquiry into the circum-
stances of the case, and the character and position of the
pretender to his sister's hand. The Chevalier Hector Combo-
Borgia was born at Messina, in Sicily, in 183'2. and in 1844 was
received into the sovereign order of the Knights of mat..
but never heels* professed, he has attained the rank
of Cavalier. di Givatizia, always remaining a simple Cava-
liers di Devozione. Knights of the latter class may marry,
but knights of justioe are looked upon u monks after hav-
ing taken the vows of the order. among which is that of
abbacy. The determination of the government seems to
have been dictated by a wish to get rid of the whole affair,
for if the chevalier is simply sent to Naple,, and the young
lady is allowed to leave her convent at her good pleasure,
nothing will be easier for her than to proceed to Naples
also, where the laws of Victor Emmanuel in matrimonial
matters will be less nevem than is Rome. Both parties
beim of age, they are at liberty to act as they please,"
