EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

The meeting of ministers has been followed by
no official announcement. We have, however, in
place thereof, a semi-official article of portentous
length and ponderosity, by M. Grandgnillot, in the
Pays, the object of which seems to be to propound
the doctrine of the substitution of a French Em-
peror for an Italian Pope at Rome. Here we have
an offshoot of the fanciful theory of the Latin race
culminating in France. Practically, the aim of
the article in question is the indefinite occupation
of Rome by French troops.
The question of Italian gratitude to France fur-
nishes a theme to the Naples correspondent of the
Temps. He says :
What will France do now! It is not my business to give
that country advice ; I will only remark that the Preach
are just now looked upon very unfavourably in Naples.
Five ships of war have arrived to protect them, but will
this squadron suffice to make them beloved? Three years
have paired since the Italian war. The Bret year our gra-
titude elevated you to the heavens, and entirely obliteratcd
from our minds your occupation of Rome. The second year
we began to think of and remark upon it, but you cut us
short by pronouncing the word " Magenta." The third year
we began to murmur a little louder, but you bade us re-
member Solferino. That was enough to reduce us to
silence. Now we are in the fourth year. There remains I
nothing for you but Villafranca. Will France deem us very
ungrateful if we refuse to keep silence any longer?
I know not what France will think on the sub-
ject, but I know what Italy is thinking. Already
an Italian friend tells me Napoleon 111., once so
popular in Italy, is become au object of secret
dislike, and of an undefined terror ; and a few
months more of this insupportable datu
quo will make him hated, loathed. Nor
is this to be wondered at. Napoleon lIL, urged
on by motives which it must rest with history to
penetrate, flung the different peoples of the Italian
peninsular into war and revolution, promising
them freedom from the Alps to the sea. Fresh
motives, equally impenetrable to hie contempora-
ries, caused him to pause when but half his pro-
gramme was performed. But still be has never
ceased to hold out to Italy the prospect of Rome
as her capital. By his permission one Italian
minister after another, and lastly the King himself,
have assured the Italian nation Rome shall one
day be theirs. Can he wonder that when he
now wraps himself in gloomy silence on the
subject which is agitating twenty-two millions of
people, and of which he is the sole arbiter,
no attempt should be made by that people
to repudiate the charges of ingratitude which
are so unsparingly cast upon them
Money is plentiful, and on the whole the Bourse
displays unusual activity for the season. Rente
rose 15c. both for cash and account, leaving off at
69fr. 25c. and 69fr. 40c. respectively. Italian
Route about the same as yesterday. The great
rise iu Credit Mobilier continues. It rose to-day
40fr. fur cash anal 3fifr. for account, closing at
9321 r. 50c. and Mfr. respectively.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

Yesterday wait published the long-looked-for re-
vised edition of the Award List, in which aggrieved
exhibitors hoped to find their wrongs redressed.
The Commissioners apologise for the errors of the
first on the score of "pressure," the juries having
only terminated their labours on the 26th of June,
whilst the award books had to be ready on the
11th of July. This could only be achieved by
working night and day, and we must charitably
suppose that it was in the nights, when the clerks
were very properly asleep, that the various wrong
insertions were made by them in a state of som-
nambulism. Since then the volume has been com-
pared with the minute book, and all the omissions
and errors are now stated to have been repaired.
This second edition will, it must be admitted,
throw considerable oil on the troubled waters, but
there still remain a good many discontented exhibi-
tors. The book was placed on sale yesterday at
every one of the stands within the building.
The atteudane of school and other similar par-
ties was rather numerous. There were the St.
Mary Abbots, Kensington, National, 357, franked
in by subscription • Merchant Seamen's Orphan'
Asylum, 120, J. Adams, Esq. ; Kingston-on-Thames
