PARIS, SENDAI EVIIIIIIO.
To-day, at half-past eleven, the Corps Legislatif,
headed by the Count de Moray, President, waited
upon the Emperor at the Tuileries. A few minutes
atter their arrival his Majesty, preceded by the
officers of his household, and accompanied by Prince
Jerome, Prince Napoleon, some of the ministers,
Marshal Magnin, and a number of general officers,
entered the Salle des Mancha= The following is
nearly verbatim the speech addressed by his Majesty
to the deputies:
"I am going to London, and there I shall occupy
myself with Eastern affairs. We desire an honour-
able peace, sad none other will be made. Bat whe-
ther we are to have peace or war, I rely always upon
your support."

The deputise received this speech with cries of
" Yes, yes. vista Empereur."
His Majesty afterwards spoke grasiouly to several
of the deputies. The audience lasted but a short
time, the travelling carriages being in waiting to
convey their Majesties and suite to the Northern
Railway station on their way to England.
At a quarter put one their Majesties left the
Tuileries in an open carriage, escorted by a detach-
ment of twenty Cent Gerdes. They were received
at the railway station by Baron James de Roths-
child and other directors of the railway, MM. Trop-
loog and de Morey, Presidents of the Senate and
Corps Legislatif, and several ministers and officers
of state. The Imperial train started at a quarter
before two. The journey will not be very rapid,
it being arranged that their Majesties will
arrive at Calais at eight this evening. It was
not announced to the railway officials until late yes-
terday afternoon, that Calais instead of Boulogne
would be the port of embarkation. It is believed
that their Majesties return by way of Boulogne on
Saturday next. They are expected to stay a da► at
Boulogne.

I hive heard to-day, from a better source than that
on the strength of which I made the announcement a

few days ago, that the Emperor will decidedly start
far the East on May 10. The Empress, lam told,
will not stop short at Constantinople, but will go on
with her Imperial husband to the Crimea. The Count
Lectr Martinis, of her Majesty's household, has
been ordered to take lessons in photography, in order
to be able to bear away mementos of the striking
scenes which the Empress expects to witness.

. .
According to the very latest official information, I
have reason to believe that we cannot yet be sure of
Austria. It is certain that she is at this moment plead-
ing for the Russian interpretation of the Third Point.

At the Little Bourse there has been a considerable
full, owing to the belief that all hopes of peace are at
'an end. The Rents opened at 68fr. 80c., fell to
68fr. 600., and was last quoted at 68fr. 6.5 c., being a
definitive fall of 60c.

The lioniteur announces that the Universal Exhi-
bition at the Palsis d'lndustrie will be opened on
the lit of May ; and that no articles for exhibition
can be received after the 20th inst.

PARIS, SATURDAY Brunwo.

The Municipal Council of Paris has resolved to
send a deputation of four members to accompany the
Prefect of the Seine to London. This resolution was
taken to respond to an invitation from the Lord Mayor
and corporation. It is unuerstood that an address
has been drawn up expressive of the sympathy of
the City of Paris with the City of London. The
Prefect of the Seine and the deputation will request
Queen Vio.oria, in case she should visit Paris on the
occasion of the Great Exhibition, to accept a
fete at the Hotel de Ville. The deputation *m-
ilieu; of the following eminent members of the
Municipal Council :—M. Delangle, Senator, Chief
President of the ,Imperial Court, and Presi-'
dent of the Municipal Council; M. E. Thayer,
Senator, formerly Postmaster-General; M. Pelouxe,
a member of the Institute, President of the Coinage
Commission, and a member of the Committee of the
Universal Exhibition ; and M. Germain Thibault, a
member of the Corps Legisl►tif and Vice-President of
the Chamber of Commerce of the Seine. _

The Corps Legitlatif finished its session to-day,
after having unanimously voted the budget. The
members are invited to wait upon the Emperor at
the Tuileries at half-pest 11 to-morrow morning.
There is some expectation that his Majesty will pro-
nounce a speech on the occasion.
At the Bourse the heavy fall of in Consols pro-
duced surprisingly little effect. There was an indis-
position to do business, and a consequent flatness in
the mai ket, but there is a disposition to rise on the
slightest pretext which discourages the bears. The
Rent., after being down at 69.6, improved to 69.16,
closing with a fall on the day of 20c. Bank of
France fell 16f. The Orleans Railway fell 10f. In
the other linos bat little business was done, and quo-
tations did not vary more than from If. to 3f. The
Austrian Railway fell 3.76.
