EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. liospmr Emma.

There is a report that the Emperor baying re-
solved not to visit Kabylia will return to Paris
sooner than was expected.
M. St. Beim, who, it would appear, has
been suspected, since be became a senator, of an
intention to desert the Consistutionne/, writes to
M. Paulin Limayrac to say that he is incapable
of such ingratitude but that his "new duties"
have so absorbed his time that he has not been
able to furnish an article this week. Next
Monday his Causerie/ du Lundi will be resumed.
What this eminent writer means by new duties is
not apparent. No inaugural speech is exacted
from a new senator, and I scarcely think that the
formality of taking the oath and the seat would
materially interfere with the pressing occupations
of any man of average Dern. Perhaps the review
of the "History of Caner," a task only very
collaterally connected with the duties of senator,
was the thing uppermost in K Saint Benve's mind.
I am rather disposed to think so from the fast
that M. Paulin Limayrac, in publishing his private
letter to him, says that it responds too preciously
to the hopes of the readers of the Conslitutionnel
for it to be possible for him to keep it to himself.
This is a very clever puff preliminary of the forth-
ooming review. I observe that IL Saint Beuve
does not sign his name with the prefix " de," which
it was said he had been authorised to assume.

The report on the budget will be distributed to
the deputies on Thursday, and the rumour runs
that the debate will begin on Monday next. This
will be allowing little time indeed for members to
consider a document containing 800 pages, Ste. ;
they will scarcely be able to give it a first hurried
reading before they are called upon to discuss it
seriously.
M. Emile (Hillier, who only a few years ago
would not provide himself with the regulation
uniform of a deputy because be was determined
never to appear even officially at court, dined the
other day with the Empress, and a Belgian journal,
says that her Majesty conversed with him a long
time, and "overwhelmed him with attentions with
which he seemed greatly touched."
M. Cousin, the philosopher and the translator of
Plato, has, it is well known, become in his old age
both catholic and imperialist. Many years ago be
refuse 3 to be made a senator, but it is now said that
he is so deeply moved by his name having been given
to one of the new streets in the neighbourhood of the
Sorbonne that he will no longer scruple again to
fill one of those seats in the Luxembourg Palace,
which he occupied under Louis Philippe as a peer
of France. _

A people's edition of M. Jules Simon's most ono-
oessful work " L'Ecole," is published to day at the
International Library at the low price of 3fr. 50c.
The Gazette de France thus summarises the signi-
fication of the Emperor Maximilian's " statute,"
of which the French government journals, as I h►ve
already observed, speak only in the most general
terms:
Acoording to this constitution the Mexican Empire,
which is based epos the eovereigaty of the people, is so
way whatever admits the Maxima people to participate
in that sovereignty which he reserves to himself. He
alone reigns sad governs, makes laws, and Wise taxes
without the concurrence of any delegates of she Nation.
Maximilian has decided that he will do without a legislative
assembly ; bat by way of a est-off he intends to have a
peat many fuectioaartm ; it would be Mmaanared of the
Mexicans to complain.
The Bourse was as inactive as on Saturday.
Bente leaves off without variation at 671 r. 65c.
and 671 r. 700. The general meeting of the Credit
Mobilier, the result of which is looked forward to
with intense anxiety, was not known during Bourse
hours. The shares of that company fell Mr. 50c.
There is little change in railways. The Mexican
Loan has partially rmovered from Saturday's falL
