EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY Evszama.

An astounding paragraph in several papers,
stating that the Emperor Napoleon had written an
autograph letter to the King of Prussia, congratu-
lating him on the fall of Duppel, is varied by the
France, which says that " in answer " to ',despatch
from Prince Frederick Charles, the Emperor sent a
telegram to the King, "expressing his sentiments
on the occasion." That is a widely different thing,
and more consistent with the assertion of the Me-
morial Diplotnatique, confirmed to a certain extent
by the Patric, Nation, and other journals, and
which yet does not meet with acceptance in the
public mind, that a cases beUi was resolved upon
between the Emperor and Lord Clarendon
in the event of any power not consenting
to an armistice. The Patric says to-night
that the Prussian plenipotentiary in London pro-
posed to make in the conference to be held this day
certain "declarations," after which be would retire,
"leaving the other plenipotentiaries to examine
what would be equivalent to an ultimatum on the
part of the cabinet of Berlin." This reads very
serious and tends to confirm the capital joke that
the Prussian Polignac, K. de Biunark, really seta
up to be the great man of the age. It is remark-
, able, however, that Prussian insolence, however
reiterated, does not succeed in making any great
sensation here.
The France says, on the above subject :

Several journals have asseanced that the two western
powers were resolved sot only to propose so armistiee, has
to impose sod to maks war themselves is case of mod.
Such ea imiertios refute' itself. The 'moronity of Franco
sad England will, so doubt, sztosit all possible IMMOu of
notion to achieve the wooer of so idea which is se politic
as Philanthropic, bet sobody will believe that alter
sot having thought fit to Assert to arms to provost the war

naives to impose peace upon the contending parties.
There was, after all, a small Shakespeare cele-
bration on Saturday. The German society called
the Dcutacher Turarcrein had a theatrical perform-
ance in the little theatre of the Passage de l'Open,
and some members of Lord Gray of Gray's defunct
committee dined together, and spoke of the traits
that "were to have been given." M. Jules Janis,
in the Deists, slyly says that the interdiction of
the Shakespeare banquet was the best thing that
could have happened to it ; and he likens the
catastrophe to that of Caleb, the cook, in one of
Walter Scott'. novels, who, having in fact • very
miserable dinner for his master, availed himself of
thy accident of some soot falling down the kitchen
chimney to swear that a sumptuous repeat of three
courses bad been spoiled.
