THE LAST ARRIVAL AT PARIS.

The Annamite ambassadors, whose arrival at
Paris has been announced. are the objects of great curiosity
to the Parisiass. "Their appearance," sacs Grafignasi,

seem to look upoo as a crime. Like the Chineee sod Ja-
panese they dispense with pocket handkerchiefs, but the
square pieoes of paper which the former use as a subellittete,
either hare not found their way to the kingdom of Leases,
or ant considered there as one of the superfluities of ex-
aggerated civilisation. The cosiequencee are not plea-

mission appears to be true. The Emperor of Anomie wishes
to recover the three provinces of Lower Cochin•Chisa oc.
espied by the French troops. The motive for this desire is not
so much to recover a few hundred leagues of territory as
to plunder and hang the faithless subjects who have sub.

he was about to have to do with a man who knew how to
manage them, and could not help exclaiming, 'Bon! slogs

ambassadors will not be presented et court until the
Esepwor's arrival at Compß:goe, in the course of next
month."
