IMPRESS FROM PARIS

THE MEXICAN NEWS.

(non 0011 OW

PARIS, TOZBDAT Evunvo.
The principal news of the day, considered in
connexion with the fall at the Bourse, and the
great object of political anxiety for the moment—l
mean the Mexican question—is that all the Ame-
rican journals by this mail have been kept back,
with the single exception of the Courrier des Etats
Cilia, which, as you are aware, always contains
news prepared expressly for the French market.
The Daily News was also seized on account
of a leading article on Mexican affairs. By
these measures, aided by an article of
Paulin Limayrac in the Constitutionnel, represent-
ing that all was " serene" on the western conti-
nent, it was hoped to get a good Bourse, and stave
off the publicity of disagreeable truths for a few
hours. As far as the Bourse was concerned, this
policy, which seem' the ne plus ultra of French
ministers' wisdom, bad a transitory success. The
snub given to the Pattie, followed up by M. Limey-
rac's eloquence, did make some speculators believe
at the opening of business that nothing could be more
satisfactory than the relations between the Tuileries
and the White House, and that the filibustering expe-
dition conceived by a few foolish adventurers at New
York was unworthy of any serious notice. People
did not pay attention to the fact that the oomfotie
able assurances from Mr. Lincoln upon which the
I Constitutioneel laid stress, are to be found in the
Yellow Book of the " year before last," and that
in the papers presented to the Corps Legialatif this
year not a single word is to be found of
any diplomatic communications between France
and America. They did not attach importance
to an article of May 16 in the Revue Contemporaine
(a semi-official organ), which bails over with hatred
of the United States and its institutions, and
abounds in abuse of its President and leading
statesmen. The Rente opened at an advance of
10c., and even the Mexican loan went up a little.
The money articles of the evening papers, under
the heading " Two o'clock," are all couched in an
encouraging tone. But before 3 o'clock the news,kept
out of print,transpired that Juarez had issued a hope-
ful proclamation, had taken a town which he pro-
, claimed as his new capital, that this capital was on
the borders of Texas, and that the disavowal by the
government of the United States of any hostile in-
tention was a matter of course, a thing known
from the first, but a fact which in no wise lessened
the importance of the private and unofficial re-
cruiting which would certainly go on. Then there
I was what Bourse people 'aere call a dfsrrineolade.
Rente fell to 67fr. 20c. and 67fr. 22c., closing with
a fall of 17c. and 13c. Mobilier fell sfr. The
Mexican Loan declined to 46k. I believe more
business was done at lower quotations than the
official ones.
Some rather serious news (not yet in the French
papers) has arrived from Alexandria to-day, under
date May 16. Four sailors, belonging to an Italian
government corvette, were set upon by some police
agents, and so seriously wounded that it was neces-
sary to take them to an hospital. The Italian Con-
sul• General, M. Bruno, immediately applied
to the Viceroy demanding the fullest satis-
faction. No answer had been given when the
mail s& The European residents are described
as being in a state of extraordinary excitement, and
the Italians, of whom there are some 15,000, talked
of taking the law into their own bands if Ismail
Pemba did not give way. The same mail speaks of
a violent scene having occurred between Cheriff
IPacha, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and K
Ilagowsky, the Russian Consul-General, who, it
was said, had subsequently broken off diplomatic
relations.
Prince Napoleon has arrived in Paris on his re-
turn from Conics.
The first specimen of vanille ever grown in
France, or, as it is believed, in Europe, has just
been harvested at Bordeaux, where it was produced
in the hothouses of the St. Bruno public gardens.
The quality is affirmed to be superior to that im-
ported from the West Indies.
