EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(18031 Goa ow COREZBPONDINT.)
PARLS, MONDAY ECZNING.

The great Compibgne question, which has endured
for at least a mouth, is solved to-day. The Pays
announces that the Emperor and Empress " left"
St. Cloud for Compiegne this morning. The first
series of guests are invited for Thursday. There will
be no ministerial council before Saturday, when
the Emperor will preside at Compiegne.

At the last ministerial council the Cochin China
affair was discussed. There was great difference of
opinion as to the question whether the treaty con-
cluded with the Annamite empire by M. Aubaret,
the French consul at Bangkok, on July 15, shall
be ratified or not. 31. Fount, lam told, is for ad-
hering to the treaty, but M. Drouyu de Lhuys
wishes to set it aside. The Pays, which is the
especial organ of the latter minister, looks upon the
decision, which it admits to be yet uncertain, as
most important for the French navy in the Indian
seas. A century ago, it says, all the benefit of
the victories gained by Admiral Suffren
was lost fur want of ports fur refitting.
But for that mistake, it says, France would at this
day be mistress of the Coromandel Coast. " Seve-
ral of our statesmen," says the Pays (thereby ad-
mitting that several are of the contrary opinion),
"think that Cochin China would be a convenient
colony for France, and more healthy than Hong-
Kong is found to be by the English." 31. Drouyu
de Lbuys, therefore, who hopes to overrule 31.
Fould's scruples about the expeese of distant expe-
ditiona, instructs the Pays to say that " everything
leads to the supposition that France will keep, iu
despite of the consul's treaty, the four provinces in
Cochin China which she has conquered."
A Vienna correspondence in the liullier litho-
graphed sheets states that the Duke de Gramont
took the first opportunity he could find to address
Count Mensdorff Pouilly, the new Minister for
Foreign Affairs, ir. the following terms
The Emperor, my master, hopes that your excellency
will join your efforts to his iu order to come to an under-
standing on the Roman question. which hie Majesty does
not think impossible nor even difficult.
Count MensdortlPouilly replied as follows

Your excellency only does justice to my wish to este-
blish this desirable understanding. For my part, I think
no understanding impossible unless it should imply a great
sacrifice of honour or principle. But such a sacrifice will
never be asked from us.

Au interruption of negotiations between Paris
and Vienna immediately followed this conversa-
tion, but it is said that these negotiations will be
speedily resurneml.
The " Martinmas summer," dear to old Parisian
memories, which often renders November the most
delightful month iu the year, is hitherto sighed
for in vain iu Paris. It freezes hard, and the
north-east wind is bitter bitter cold. Other dis-
tricts of France are more favoured. The Piriprd
of Wrigm.ux (Dordogne) says :—" We are in the
midst of the summer of St. Martin. The weather
is of a mildness so exceptional that a large bouquet
of lilac was gathered a few days back iu a garden
of this town, and in the environs a number of fruit
trees are covered with buds quite ready to blosium."
The Bourse opened heavily, but closed better.
There is little change in quotations, except a rise of
25c. iu Route for money. For account the rise was
only sc.

DREADFUL OCCURREICCE.—A YOUTH STABBED
BT Hid BROTHEL —No little sensation was crested in
Guildford on Friday morphia. in consequence of a report
that a gipsy had killed Ins brother, at Whitmore Common,
about two miles from the town. It appeared that a quarrel
took place the emus of which is pot known, whim one of
them, who is shout 15 years, stabbed his brother is the
back. One of the tribe rode oil instantly to Guildford for
medical aid, and Mr. Butler at once repaired to the spot ;
but such was the nature of the wound, that he sent for Mr.
Sells, who promptly attended. and as soon as possible the
wounded man (who is about 20 years of age) was removed
in a cart to the union, where be lies in a precarious stets.
The scoosed absoooded. On Saturday the permits delivered
the boy to the police at the emnity station. The injured
lad is still living. —Survey Standard.
DEATH FROM A DECORATION.—The emotion of
joy can kill, observes the Saint Public of Lyees, aid gives
as au example the cue of Captain Crefet, of the *apron•
pompiers in that city. Having received the Cross of the
Legion of Honour os the occasion of the Emperor's late
visit to the South of France, his delight was so great that
be was taken ill and expired two days ago.
