The Mouikur having announced that the Empe-
ror has no thought, "at present," of going either
to England, Prussia, or elsewhere abroad, the ob-
sequious Pays hastens to say that the rumours of
his Majesty's visit to the London Exhibition,
"which the Afeeiteur now denies," originated with
the English journals. This is not so. A telegram
was sent from Toulon and printed in every journal
in Paris, before it appeared in London,which stated
that six men-of-war were ordered to Cherbourg to
form part of the fleet which was to escort the Em-
peror and Empress to England. This news re-
mained for several days unchallenged, and, more-
-1 over, the contradiction came at last from Toulon.
This is a curious illustration of the fact, of which
many striking instances could be furnished, that
"false news "—notwithstanding the special laws
invented to punish it—is more common in France
than in England, and that when promulgated it
remains longer without being set right.
There will be some disappointment in England at
the iutimation in the Moniteurt which, however,
does not state positively that the Emperor will not

go to the Exhibition, but only that the visit is not unable to control his feelings suddenly left the room.
