PARIS, MONDAt Evaristo.
The very serious fall in the Itente is the only
news of the day. I mentioned on Saturday
that, towards cse
lo of %unions. there was a
sadden decline hof a half per oent. Yesterday,
at the irregular Sunday Bourse on the Boole•
yard. a further fall of fully 1 per test. tosh
place in coneetienee, as it was supposed, of unfavour.
able rumours of the state of the Emperor's health.
Mamba( to the most trustworthy accounts to-day,
the Emperor's iadisposition was of very short dare-
tics, sad be is sow quite recovered. lam Wormed
that, after quitting a somewhat protracted .oared of
Ministers on Saturday, he was afflicted with a soon-
guy which excited some uneasiness in the naturally
maims mind of his ordinary medical attendant.
But relief was speedily obtained by simple moss,
and although pursuant to advice he went to bed early
on Saturday afternoon, he rove about his
usual time
ea Sunday morning. I think it very doubtful whe-
ther be wee bled at aIL This is certain, that his
Majesty received several visits at the Tuileries yester-
day. The Mocitear mentime that several foreign
commissiosers of the Universal Exhibition were pre-
sented to him. But although, on this head, all cause
of public uneasiness seems to be removed, the regular
speculators on the Boone evinced no disposition to
reverse the verdict of the outsiders.
The Rente opened at 671. 60c., was very heavy
throughout the day, and closed at 671 r. 30c., with a
fall of 1 per cent. from Saturday. Everybody was
eagerly inquiring what could be the cause of the
fall, and no satisfactory answer could be obtained.
The convocation of the Corps Legislatif to vote a loan
was mach talked of; but so it ha. been over and over
again. That a loan will be had recourse to before the
autumn cannot be doubtful ; but, from the best in-
formation I can obtain, there is no reason to think
it will be raised directly. Although I have to-day
beard the 10th of July named as the day when the
house is to meet (and many people speak of a much
earlier day), I incline to give more credence to an-
other report, that it will not assemble till Queen
Victoria comes in the middle of August. M. de
Moray has left Paris for his country house, 100
leagues from Paris. This shows that the convoca-
tion of the legislature cannot be very imminent. In
the course of the day there have been rumours that
the Emperor had had a relapse, but I attach very
little importance.to them. The most serious suggea-
tionis, that the long silence of the llonitetr argues
that bad news must have been received from the
Crimea. It has been reported in several quarters
that a great battle was likely to be fought between
the 12th and the 15th, and it is known that govern.
ment has received despatches, of which nothing has
been said officially. On the other hand, the English
funds give way but very little; and if any serious
disaster had occurred, it would hardly be kept secret
many hours in Lindon. People are therefore fairly
puzzled to guess at the cause of the fall ; but this fact
is mach remarked by persoas familiar with the
Bourse--all the court speculators are selling. Rail-
ways, which were comparatively firm on Saturday,
gave way to-day. Lyons and Mediterranean fell
27fr. 50e.; Northern, 17tr. 50c.; Southern, 171 r. 50c.;
Orleans, 15fr. Many other lines fell 71r. 50c. and
10fr.

Timm of the 16th it is stated that " the influence of Lord
Orsomore obtained the Chief Jtuttceship of Tobago for Mr.
Robert Fyan."
The matter occurred fifteen or sixteen years ago. To the
best of my rocoilection, 1 was by no means singular in re-
eontmendieg Mr. Fynn to the favour of the government.
A memorial in his behalf was signed by several members of
the Houses of Lords and Commons. I was not then in par-
liament. I recommended Mr. Lynn, as the Roman catholic
of Inland had then much confidence in him, mskieg him
their seeretary on various occasions. His was the son and
nephew of highly respectable merchants of Galway ; at the
time I knew sotbirg to his prejudice. But my responsi-
bility of notimeamadation is very minute indeed, as every
member et podia .;.eat had ten tines my weight with any
governesses, sad the particular appointment of judge inset
lave palmed the ordeal of the law officers of the Crown jr
Ireland, who must have hate/a Mr. Lynn's professional and
general character.
