EXPREBi FROM PARIS.

(FROM 001 OWN i

PARIS, FRIDLT &LIMO.
Although you will have received the news by
telegraph, I think it material to record at the head
of a Paris correspondence the considerable fact
that the Princess Clothilde, daughter of the King •
of Italy and wife of Prince Napoleon—the next
heir but one to the imperial throne of France—has
given birth to a son at the Palace of St. Cloud. This
event occurred at 6 o'clock this morning. The ac- 1
couchement of the princess was singularly happy ;
her sufferings only lasted forty minutes, and she
is now doing extremely well.
The Empress's mother, the Countess of Montijo,
is expected in Paris shortly.
The Gironde of Bordeaux hints that Prince Louis
of Baden, who has taken service with the French
army in Mexico, may possibly be put forward as a
candidate for the throne of that country. Prince
Louis is the brother of the reigning Grand Duke
of Baden, and a near relation of the Emperor
Napoleon through the Princess Stephanie nee
Beauharnais, with whom the Emperor's constant
intimacy is an historical fact.
A Marseilles letter in the Massager du Midi states
that General Lobceuf, one of the Emperor's aides-
de-camp, has embarked for Rome, and that he is
supposed to have a mission.
The evening papers say that the departure of
General Forey for Mexico "appears to be ad-
journed," but they have told so many falsehoods
about the expedition that it is impossible to know
what the announcement means.

The speeches in defence of the 54 conspirators
were brought to an end to-day, and the court has
announced that it will give judgment to-morrow.
M. Ferry, one of the counsel who spoke towards
the end of the debate, denounced in stronger terms
than any of his ooadjutors the odious character of
the evidence, which he said "stunk" of spies from
beginning to end. Apostrophizing the govern-
ment, he said, "You fetter the press because you
pretend that the working classes are liable to be
misled by it, and at the same time you enoourage
a swarm of spies to buzz sedition in their ears.
You substitute for liberty of thought the most
shameful liberty of provocation" (an untranslatable
word, meaning the well-known system of getting
up plots by paid spies, who afterwards inform
against their accomplices).
The Abbd Sisson, who, as editor of the Anti
de la Religion, attempted for • long while the
difficult task of separating the catholic religion
from the retrograde civil policy advocated by the
Monde, and was ultimately beaten in the struggle,
and driven out of the field of journalism, has just
been appointed by the Archbishop of Paris to a
very humble rectory at Antony, near &sans.
The Bourse was more deserted than it has yet
been this summer. All the principal speculators
are away. The Rente, in which extremely little
business was done, closed, with a rise of Sc. both

In other securities there was very little change.
The Italian Loan fell Sc.

A robbery of 35,000 fr. was committed the day

at this moment, the thieves obtained admission by
forcing open one of the doors. An inquiry is
being pursued by the authorities.
