PARIS. MONDAY Emma.

The attack on General Lamarmora, contained in
La France, is not countenanced by authority, and
that journal is already fain to draw in its horns.
None of the categorical explanations which the
France said were " inevitable " will be called for.
The snot d'ordre is given that the government jour-
nals are to represent General Lamarmora's speech
as not materially objectionable, and sufficiently in
accordance with what was agreed upon between the
Emperor and M. Nigro.. The Pays has an article
conceived iu this spirit, and the Constitationnel
will duly follow suit.

The following note, probably communicated by
the Spanish embassy, appears in the Pattie :

The Spanish government, after making every possible
effort to come to an understanding with the government of
Peru, found its pretensions so exorbitant that negotiations
were necessarily broken off. In consequence naval rein-
forcements have been despatched from Cad,r, and orders
sent to the Spanish squadron to leave the Chinches islands
and take possession of Callao. As soon as this material
guarantee shall be secured, Spain, which loyally declared
from the first that she desired no conquest, will be ready to
listen to the proposals of Porn.

The Bishop of Orleans, now in Paris, came on
purpose to celebrate the marriage of a deaf and
dumb couple, both belonging to rich and noble
families. The bridegroom is a count, and the bride
is a Mdlle. Champagny, the daughter of an author
of reputation, whose ancestor received a title from
Napoleon I.

The France found fault with M. Berryer for
having, in his speech at the Guildhall, dwelt exclu-
sively upon English liberties, and omitted all notice
of the liberties granted to France by the imperial
decree of November 24. M. Alex. Weill, a jour-
nalist of some eminence, in an amusing letter to the
Temps, asks whether the liberty of colportage (the
free sale of printed matter) was one of those which
the France would have had M. Bertyer boast of
before a Loudon audience ? As an instance of the
sort of liberty enjoyed in France on that score,
M. Weill recounts that permission has just been
refused for the sale on the Boulevards of a number
of the Figaro, on account of an article of his, ac-
cused of containing an "attack on racehorses."
lie never heard of but one horse who was ir.-
violable, viz., that of Caligula; but he did not
"run," he only "sat."
You cannot fail to have noticed a series of
letters iu the Monitctir, dated from the seat of
war in America, and giving, with a strong Con-
federate leaning, strategetical accounts of battles.
These letters were written with considerable
ab"4ty and were generally attributed to a special
military correspondent of the French goveixnent.
The fact has come out that they were all composed
in the MOlLitelll is office, by M. Aylic Laughi, the
dramatic author, who some little time ago brought
out Sh?ridan at the Vaudeville, with great
success, and whose Jeunesse de Mirabean is now
playing at the sawn theatre.
Among the many sights of Paris there is none
more attractive to strangers than Napoleon's tomb
at the Invalides ; people passing through with but
a few hours to spare generally ask to see that rather
than anything else. It may interest such visitors
to know that General de Lawceatine, the Governor
of the luvalides, has just issued a strongly-worded
order, positively prohibiting any employe of the
Invalides from accepting any money from them. A
similar order was promulgated forty years ago, but
it was soon disregarded, and I have constantly seen
the porters of the Invalides keeping a very sharp
look-out for their fees. I dare say the present
injunction will soon fall into desuetude likewise,
but for a little time to come I have no doubt that
visitors may keep their pockets buttoned up without
being annoyed.

A new ballet, composed by MdDe. Tagl4oni, is
coming out at the Italian Opera.
The Bourse, after some fluctuation, left off with
great heaviness. Rente fell 20c. for cash, and lOc.
for account, closing at 65fr. lOc. in each case.
Mobilier fell 14c. Railways are lower; Southern
declined Gfr. The CaLese Itlirs dropped from 71fr.
to 63fr., iu consequence of the rather unexpected
decision of the Tribunal of Commerce that the
judicial liquidation which be had hoped to set
aside is to go on. M. Mires will appeal, and on
the strength of this announcement the shares re-
covered to 67fr.
