PARIS, SUNDAE EVENING.

The prosecution of Messrs. Gamier Pages, Dreo,
and their friends bas advanced a step. They
will appear before the Correctional Police with the
1,800 or more documents which the industry of the
examining judge has collected, about the middle
of the month. The warrant is directed, however,
only to thirteen persons, who are accused of
forming an unauthorised association of more than
twenty. The offence is a collective, not au indi-
vidual one, and even French judges will probably
hesitate to decide that any thirteen persons, how-
ever politically odious or important they may be,
can count arithmetically for more than twenty. If
there are not sufficient proofs to procure the con-
viction of the other persons who were originally
included in the warrant, bow can they be sufficient
against the remaining thirteen, whose culpability
can only arise from their association with the
others 1

A commission of twelve engineers, scene painters,
architects, &c., presided over by a member of the
institute, has been appointed to examine the im-
provements to be introduced into the machinery
and decorations of the new Opera.
The evening Monikur has a long description of
the entry of their Mexican Majesties into their
capital. The archbishop had recovered from his
political indisposition sufficiently to preside at the
Te Deutn, which was sung on their arrival. Gene-
ral Bazaine accompanied them, and received fre-
quent marks of the imperial good will. A torch-
light procession, which from the palace of their
Majesties, proceeded to that of the archbishop, Rho
gave thel,soo persons composing it his blessing, was
reserved for the second evening, and two days
afterwards Count de Muntholon, the French minis-
ter, presented his letters of credence with the usual
speeches on both sides.
King Leopold is the object of the most delicate
attentions at Vichy. He has removed from the
hotel where he was first lodged, to one of the
Emperor's chalets. M. Drouyu de Lhuys returned
to Paris last night.
