EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(rlott OUR OWN 00311IN0NDIST.)
PARIS, MONDAY Emir's°.
_

Without being prepared to affirm that there is
any truth in the reports of an alliance between
Spain and Austria based upon opposition to the
Franco-Italian convention, I cannot help noticing
that the French journals " protest too much"
against the supposition. The Pays says to-night :
" Without giving ourselves the trouble to demon-
strate the improbability of such an alliance, it is
enough for us to remark that the presence of M.
Mon at Paris and that of M. Pacheco at Rome
make it impossible to suspect the attitude of Spain
in regard to the convention." In support of this
view it quoted from Madrid journals an ex-
pression of opinion that men are good
liberals and good catholics at the same time, and
that the good understanding between Spain and the
Emperor Napoleon, "which, so far as compatible
with the dignity of Spain," is desirable, cannot be
in better hands. This statement—and a rather
frail one I think it—is thought worthy of a place
in the leading column of the Pays, which has
already treated the subject before.
M. Calderon Collantes, who was at one time
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs under General
O'Donnell, died yesterday in Paris after a long
illness.

Aocording to the Monde—a great authority in
matters eoolesiaatical—the following is the sub-
stance of the language used by Cardinal Autonelli
to France on the subject of the convention :

If you hope that the prospect of the evacuation of Rome
will change the policy of the Holy See undeceive yoaraelf.
If you suppose that the fear of any contisgencies whatso-
ever will induce the Pontiff-King to make a compromise
with what you ax. pleased to, style the " new right" unde-
ceive yourself still : what we are to-day such we shall be
two years barna and always, for we represent the church,
and the church is immutable like its Divine Fonder—/Von
pOSSUM
Again the Monde says :

The church may suffer and Arcola, but she will never
humiliate benell, never abdicate, and never yield to
modern turpitude&

The France, which has hitherto affected to believe
it to be a matter of course that the Pope would
accept the convention, now says it is " stupefied "
at hearing this language. The French government,
however, well knew from the first that no other
would be used, and is prepared for the conse-
quences.

The daughter of K Havin, the director and prin-
cipal proprietor of the Siecle, was married a few
days since at Torigny-sur-Vice, to M. Segaud, the
secretary-general of the prefecture of the Seine. K
Hausmann honoured the ceremony with his pre-
sence, and the prefect of the department and many
other official personages also attended. This event
will greatly strengthen the 01-natured rumours of
i long standing that the opposition of the Siecle is
I now a sham. Nevertheless, there were amidst all
the splendour of the wedding some disappointments.
The Duke de Morny, much reckoned upon
by the father of the bride, did not come ;
and the Bishop of Coutanoes, to whose
palace M. Havin paid • visit to beg him
to come, contented himself with sending M. Hav-i
back again in the episcopal carriage. The Gazette
de Prance says that K Marin can now scarcely fail
to be made a senator. It is, however, open to the
Siele to insinuat: —if not to say—that the emperor,
by the Italian convention, has come round to its
policy, and that it may now consistently support
the imperial dynasty.

The Bourse is somewhat better, and a good many
transactions were done. The closing prices do not
differ materially from those of Batu•day.
