PARIS, TUESDAY EMING.

The France says it is a mistake to attribute to
the King of the Belgians' visit to Vichy any
"direct" connexion with the political questions of
the day. It would have it believed that the state
of King Leopold's health is the " principal " reason
for his drinking the same mineral waters as the
Emperor at the same time. Bat then it says, very
sententiously, that it is impossible for two such
wise monarchs as Napoleon and Leopold to live in
common for several days together without ex-
changing ideas; and as they are both devoted to a
"pacific policy," it is probable that they will
seek means to consolidate the peace of the
world, both for the present and the future. There
is not much to be made of this revelation. A
paper states that the King of Wurtemburg is
shortly expected at Vichy.
King Leopold was to pass through Paris by a
special train at a quarter past 6 this evening.
"Some journals," says the Constitutionnei, "have
endeavoured to make it be believed that the title
of Duke de Montmorency had been granted to
Count Adalbert de Talley rand Perigord with a view
to a projected marriage between him and the Prin-
cess Anna Murat. Those journals have been ill-
informed. No such marriage has ever been in con-
templation ; and the Emperor, in making use of
his prerogative to grant a title which had been re-
quested from him, had not to take into considera-
tion a project which never existed."

The latest matrimonial project regarding the
Princess in question is said to be that of uniting
her to the King of the Belgians' son, the Duke of
Flanders.

The Bourse was again weak, and political move-
ments in Italy, though very categorically denied by
the Italian journals, continue to be spoken of.
A fall of in Consols, and unsatisfactory
rumours touching the monetary situation, checked
operations for the rise. After some fluctuations
the Rente closed at the lowest prices of the day-
66fr. lbc., and 643 fr. 20c., with a fall of 10c. and
loc. 3lobilier fell 12fr. 50c.

The evening papers say that a heavy cannonade,
which lasted for three hours, was heard yesterday
in the neighbourhood of Fibcainp, and the surmise
is that the promised naval fight between Federal
and Confederates must have come otf.

Madame Emile de Girardin has just lost her
mother, the Countess de Tiefenbach, who was the
widow of Prince Frederick of Nassau, and the
sister of Field Marshal Ritter Vallemary, master
of the horse at the court of Vienna.

M. Betimes "Life of Jesus," which had been
seized at Munich, has been restored to circulation
by a decree of the Appeal Court of the province of
Upper Bavaria.
The Jesuits' chapel, in the Rue de &vies, was
the day before yesterday the scene of a fatal acci-
dent. Some workmen were engaged in removing a
ladder which they bad been using in the repair of
the building, but finding it heavier than they ez.
expected, they let it slip from their bold. and iu
falling it struck the head of the Countess de Polig-
nac, who was attending mass. The bluw was so
violent that the lady died shortly after in the recep-
tion room of the establishment, to which she was
conveyed. The deceased was 77 years of age.
An unmarried daughter of Sedaine, the
,author of "Le Philosophe sans le Savoir,"
" Richard Coeur de Lion," "La Gageure Im-
Pnivne " and a number of other well-known
pieces, has just died at Tours, aged 97. She
retained her faculties to the last. Sedaine was
originally a working mason, but by his taleut
and exertions obtained the position of secretary
of the Academy of Architecture. He then
applied himself to literature, and was ultimately
elected a member of the Preach Academy. He
died in 1797.

A. melancholy accident occurred the day before
yesterday in the Rue Chatillon, near the Barrime
du Combat. During the thunderstorm which
burst over Paris some childrem took shelter from
the hail and rain against a wall which enclosed
a piece of vacant ground. The wall, behind
which a quantity of stones and materials bad been
piled up, suddenly gave way and buried five of the
children beneath the ruins. Three were dead when
got out, and the two others, though still alive, were
dangerously injured.
