I believe I may safely announce that all double
most the Emperor's journey to the Crimea are at 111
Md. It is certain that he will go, and that very
aeon, unless some very unexpected event should war
Is prevent him. The following extract from es
side by M. Amedke de Caere, in the Constitor
email, is a plain semi-official announcement of the
Imperial intentions :
If the Conference of Vienna should fail, at last, is tY
Amu to re-establish a general peace, everything will Is
seedy in England, in France, aad in Austria, for the out-
palis of the spring, a campaign so important that it will
embrace, in all probability, three great theatres, and in
which will be engaged at once spinet Russia, as aMes of
Turkey, three great nations. If we can place confidence in
the revelations of the foreign press, France and England
will act in the Baltic, not only with their fleets, but with
their maim. Austria and Fiance will be found combating
side by side, on the sipper part of Me Vishdo, la a common
straggle which may prolong itself to the fruition of Po-
land, as well as to the beaks of the Danube. In
fine, France and England will be together in the Crimea,
supported by Turkey end Sardinia, all gloriously united na-
da the banners of civilisation and European independence.

The
Bourse opened well at Saturday's prices,
under the influence of the appointment of Lord John
Rowell as Minister of the Colonies, and Nie condi,
niatlon of the victory of Eupatoria. I must Zuenlion
by the' way that the original news of that vietc!TY,
given exclusively in the Daily News of Saturri,7!
continues to be the fullest account that has yet reached ,
Paris. It is oopiod icto all the Paris journals by the ,
aide of the less explicit narrative in yesterday's
.21fonitsur. The market, however, subsequently gave
way considerably, and in the result the Rents fell
45c., clotting at 66fr. 35c. Most of the railways fell
from 2fr. 50c. to sfr.

The head of the firm of Leopold Werner and Co.
(a mercantile house, known for its large transactions
with Spain,) has left Paris for Madrid, is order to
negotiate a Spanish loan with the support of several
French capitalists. This gentleman lately addressed
a pamphlet on the subject to M. Madoz, and it is un-
derstood that he expects to carry the system advo-
cated in that pamphlet into effect.
A rumour prevailed at Genoa on the 22nd that a
French frigate had been lost with all on board in the
Straits of Bonifscio, between Corsica and Sardinia.
No mrticulars of this disaster are given. The vessel
in question was said to be the Semillante frigate, with
a crew of 600 men on board.
I regret to state that this news is but too true, and
I fear the number of men on board is larger than
above reported.
The two prosecutions pending against tho Siecle,
have been abandoned in consequence, as I understand,
of the intercession of a venerable friend of the
editor's, who was formerly intimately connected
with the Emperor, and is still greatly esteemed by
him.

The Bishop of London intends to hold a confirma-
tion in Paris in Easter week.
At the sitting of the Assize Court to-day, where
the trial of Madlle. Doudot is going on, a petition from
the bar, signed (amongst others) b' M. Chain d'Est
Ange, was presented to the presiding judge, stating
that a number of persons, not barristers, were sitting
upon the bar benches in cape and gowns, and praying
that they might be expelled from court. The judge
(M. Hawn) immediately signed and read a decree
ordering every person in court wearing fo-
rensic costume to give in their names in
writing to the usher, and desiring those who might
refuse, to leave the court immediately. Upon this
intimation about a dozen young fellows, who for the
last four days had occupied the best bar seats, looking
wiser than Coke and Montesquieu put together, rose,
shuffled their borrowed plumage, and went away as
quickly as possible, thinking themselves lucky to get
off so easily. And so indeed they were, for aooord-
ing to the code they might have been prosecuted for
a ~misdemeanour, and sentenced to two years'
imprisonment. A hearty and universal laugh
accompanied the discomfiture of these false barristers.
The last witness for the defence was then examined,
and M. Chain d'Est Ange commenced his address for
Dr. Marsden, appearing as parti civil*. He will be
followed by the Procureur Imperial, M. Royer, and
then M. Nogent de St. Laurent will present the de-
fence. The proceedings will scarcely be brought to
a close earlier than Wednesday evening.
