PARIS. MONDAY EVIDIING.
M. Grandguillot has a curious article in the
Pays, wherein he pompously announces that " the
moment has come for satisfying the curiosity of cer-
tain ultramontane journals, and to tell them why,
after having formerly been against Italian unity,"
he is now in favour of it. That reason may of
course be given in fewer words than he states it,
being nothing else than this--that whereas for-
merly he was ordered to write against the unity of
Italy, he knows now that the French government
has changed its mind ; and, although he is •
smaller satellite than he was, be still beaks in fitful
rays of official favour, from which alone whatever
light he may shed is derived. M. Grandguillot's
revelations, therefore, are not without • certain de-
gree of interest. He tells how the Russian war
was conceived in the brain of Napoleon 111. as
a means of "breaking the first link in
the chain of the Holy Alliance ;" how Lord

Aberdeen, the dinciple of the. Cr'.ma friend., Out/4r

Neagh, was opposed to the war ; bow the English
aristocracy crying out when the French fleet went
to Salemine, Lord Aberdeen resigned, and Lord
Palmerston - into - with a " mission" (he

war to extremities, and to exaggerate its re-
sults, ao as to divert it from its object and
destroy all its moral consequences." Here we
have a striking description of the terms of
the alliance which led the French and English
armies together before Sebastopol. M. Grand-
guillot has undoubtedly been in the confidence
of the French government ; like Oliver Cromwell,
he " once was in grace ;" does he speak from
inspiration now 1 He goes on to say that,
just at the moment when the war was about
to bring forth the fruits of its long and costly
preparation, the Emperor "guessed" that Lord

the very just aciedgion that the French garrison
at Rome is a greater obstacle to the unity of
Italy than the Venetian quadrilateral, and inti-
mates that he will treat of Rome in another

The Bourse was uneasy in consequence of bad
news said to have been brought by the Europa, and
it was not till after Bonne hours that the evening
papers, which all reason elaborately on her sup-
posed news, published a telegram contradicting the
intelligence of her having arrived at Queenstown.
The Rents fell 100. both for cash and account,
closing at 67fr. 45c. and 67fr. 60c. Mobilier fell
3fr. 75c., and the Italian loan 40c. Railways were
from lfr. to 3fr. lower.

The Grand Chamberlain of the Emperor has
issued 4,000 invitations to a grand ball which is to
take place at the Tuileries on Wednesday. The
court mourning for the death of Prince Albert will
then have expired.
A marked change has taken place in the tem-
perature, and a :general thaw appears to have
set in.
