PARIS, IATDIDiT EVIXIIIO.

TL Drouyn do Lhuys returned to Paris at ten
crank this morning, perfectly satisfied with the
result of hie interview with Lord Palinerstoo. He
will probably start for Vienna to-morrow, bat the
exact time of hie departure is not yet fixed.
The Prtrialan savoy Baron do Wedell had a private
amliwaseof the Emperor yesterday, to take leave. He
left Paris for Berlin last menial!, to obtain fresh in-
structions from the Bing of Prussia, and expects to
return in a few days.
Nothing has transpired to-day to throw any new
light upon the situation. A government telegraphic
despatch jest received from the Crimes, simply says,
• Nothing new"

tesebell 70.5. They closed at 69.95, with a rise of
lfie. The railway market was exceedingly firm, the
weekly returns of receipts on all the lines being very
good. Lyons and Mediterranean rose 12.50; Eastern,
10 ; Orleans, 5f.; and most of the others from 1.26
to 2.50. Austrian railways rose 2.50. The general
meeting of the Orleans shareholders has fixed the
dividend at 39E, which, added to 30f. interest already
paid, gives a product of 69f. for 1854. This result
was known very generally for the last fortnight, and
the continued firmness of this security is thus ac-
counted for.
Among the passengers arrived at Marseilles by the
Valetta from Malta, is the Governor-General of
Australia, Sir Charles Fitzroy.
The Veriie of Lille states that the military admi-
nistration has determined on not continuing to pur-
chase in the interior of the country the wheat re-
quired for the army, but has entered into contracts
for supplies from iiAlgeria, Portugal, and Spain. This
amours will, it is expected, oases a redaction of
prices in the provincial markets.
As two battalions of the Grenadiers of the Guard
in heavy field order passed along the Quai des Tuile-
ries the evening before last on their way to the Lyme
railway station en route for the East, their band was
playing the air " Penult pour la Syr*" and the
men from time to time raised loud cries of "Viva
ltmpereer." Suddenly one of the windows on the
first floor of the Pavillon de Flora opened, and the
Emperor, leading the Empress by the hand, came
forward ones more to bid adieu to his Guard, when
the cries of " Vice rEnipereur ! Vivo rlmperiarloe!"
were redoubled.
A St. Petersburg letter in the Petrie notices as a
remarkable circumstance that since the commence-
ment of the war all the French and English journals
which used to be severely overhauled by the censure
have been allowed freely to enter the capital, and to
lie about on the tables in all the calk. The London
Peach and the Paris CAaricari, with their broad
caricatures of everything Russian, are now the favour-
ite reading in St. Petersburg . Nicholas 1., suddenly
doing violence to the habits of his whole life, and re-
versing the established policy of the empire, ordered
shortly before his death the free admission of
all foreign journals without distinction, and Alexan-
der U. has -hitherto sanctioned the continuance of the
innovation. The object of the new measure
is supposed to be to excite the orthodox nobility
against the infidel enemy. "You see how they in-
salt your Emperor, and how they speak of year-
selves." The censors, from old habit, sometimes
match out a few lines, but as a general rule all the
Paris and London papers may now be seen unmed-
iated. But although people are thus free to read,
they are not free to talk about what they read to each
ether. All discussion on public affairs is strictly
prohibited. According to this correspondence the
yeioguomy of St. Petersburg is very little altered
the war. French and German tradesmen go to
es usual to make purchaser, and bring back an
,assortment of fashionable novelties. The retail trade
suffers remarkably little, and the rich, to curry fa-
vour with the Emperor, gave an unprecedented num-
ber of fetes, balls, and route up to the moment of hie
death.

Oa tko Bth inst. the French began to aro on the
city at daybreak f;ent their two ships, and a dos 32 pa

were sonata& ekes*, this lottery is great numbers, most
of them wearing blue Abend badges es a distinguishinst
mark. By 8 o'clock the top of t►e wall was knocked off,
when 260 Preach, headed by lieutenants Denim and
Petit, mounted the brush, aid got a howitzer up with
them. They wore followed ►y 700 or 800 imperialists, and
about 2,000 more meseeded is interim the city from

homes sear the north gate were set an fire, and every native
that could be got hold of is said to have bean massacred.
After the first bunt the rebels for some time kept wader
cover, with the exception of those engaged with the French

lodged for about two hours without maids( smelt progress,
the tem•toms beat, and the rebels poured out from all di-
rections wpm the walls between the mirth and west gates,
drove the soldiers la all directions, liege, bansernue and
all being hurled right over the walls ; some were driven on
the Preach, who kept oft the breach all the time, and
wished to pem them, bet the Preach wishing to keep
them is, tried to force them back, whereupon the
imperialists, many of whom were raw militiamen,

out for the first time, fired on the Preach line,
and were replied to by a shower of grape, which
seat them esamperiag in ell directioas. The robots
then ante apois the Frenchmen, and drove them from the
brush, so that they ware obliged to retire, which they did
in good order, taking their howitzer with them, bat
leaving • boa of powder and several shell behind. The
loss es the Fresh side was the two silken above men-
tioned, sad 13 men killed, 4 OffiNITO sad 36 men wounded,

that dare show themselves, task is their sealing ladders also.

should get into the city, which is all =wean ; and upon
his bead sloes mass rest the dreadful responsibility of the
blood that has been spilled, not oily of the innocent natives

but of his brave ofleers, who fell is an inglorious sum, and
one which they themselves did not approve.
