EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PABIS, Fam.tr EVENING.

Bullier's Correspondence—which, though often
(and sometimes purposely) misinformed, never
speaks without thinking it has a pertinent hint—
says to-night that there is a rumour that the
Roman question is on the eve of a solution, and
that it is "not prepared to say that there is no
foundation for the report."
The studied concealment, up to the last moment,
of the fact that the French Mediterranean fleet was
ordered to convoy Victor Emmanuel to Naples, the
false news as to the destination of that fleet de-
signedly proulplgated in the official journals of
Toulon, the arsertion even now that, although it
was ordered to Naples, it fell in with the King of
Italy merely by an accident, must, I suppose
and hope, be considered as artifices resorted to out
of tendernessto the ultremoritaniata, whose feelings
must be severely hurt by the recall of General de
Goyou from Rome, coupled with the fact of that
recall being known in Naples before it was in
Paris. Prince Napoleon's organ, the Opinion
Nationale, feels its advantage, and in the follow-
ing observations throws into strong relief the im-
portance of the news, which has been kept back as
long as possible :
The imperial government, in escorting the elected King
of Italy to the sanest capital of the Bourbons by a French
squadron, throws off in the face of Europe all the reserves
with which it has hitherto environed its recognition of
that sovereign's kingdom. Oar cannons, in saluting Victor
Emmanuel, have told Francis 11. and Austria that we are
on the side of the peoples, and not of divine right; sad
that we glorify Magenta and Solferino at the farthest
extremity of the peninsula. We applaud the conduct of
the French government without any reserve, because it
marks a step in the course of tho Italian question, and be-
cause it permits us to hope that we are at length ap-
proaching the much desired solution. If this manifestation
have in reality the importance which, we trust, we are
justified in attributing to it, the recall of General de Goyon
must be considered as the first of a series of events equally
haricteriatic.

The settlement at the Bourse having gone off
well, all kinds of securities were buoyant. The
Route rose 25e. for cash, and 55c. for account,
clueing at 70fr. 750. and 711 r. Mobilier rose
Mr. 75c., the Italian Loan lfr. 25c. The only great
rise in railways was in the ease of the Southern,
which rose llfr. 25c.; the other lines were only
lfr. or 2fr. higher. Cakes Mixt% was in demand,
and rule 10fr., closing at 143 fr. 75c. _ _ _

At the general meeting of the shareholders of the
Crddit Mobilier Company, just held, a dividend of
50fr. per share was declared for the year 1881. As
2&r. have been already paid in *Avant*, is much
more is now to be distributed to the shareholders.

The drawing of the bonds of the two Plans con-
tracted by the city of Paris in 1852 and 1857 took
place yesterday at the Hotel de Ville. In that of

50,000 fr. ; No. 27,024, 20,000 fr. ; No. 6,988,
15,000 Fr. ; and No. 10,039, 10,000 fr. In the latter,
No. 99,207 gained 100,000 fr. ; Nos. 182,074 and
132,860, 10,000 fr. _ _

It is said that the Japanese ambassadors will re-
turn to Paris from London next week, to be pre-
sent at a grand review of the army of Paris which
the Emperor proposes to pass in honour of the
King of Holland.
