EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom 01311 OWN 001RISPONDINT.)

PARIS, TItUItaDAT EVEII.IO.
This morning's Moniteur publishes a long report
from M. Ilehic, the Minister of Commerce and
Agriculture, on the cattle disease, followed by a
decree prohibiting importations by the seaboard
from Nantes to Dunkirk, and by the northern and
eastern frontiers. The reports of the commissioners
sent into England and Germany to study the
subject are of course the basis of the minister's re-
port to the Emperor. The dimese was introduced
into England from Russia, in which country it fre-
quently appears, and is extremely contagious. The
French call it "contagious typhus." It is 50 years
since it has appeared in France, thanks to the effi-
cacious measures taken by Prussia and Austria to
exclude it from their frontiers and conse-
quently from Europe. But the means of
communication between different countries have
become so rapid and so easy that the
chances of the disease penetrating through the
sanitary barriers erected against it,or turning them,
are greatly augmented. A single cargo direct from
Finland—a voyage shorter than the time required
for the development of the disease—has sufficed to
introduce it into England where it has not been
known since 1745. The decree which follows this
report contains no new regulations for the chance
of the disease reaching this country notwithstand-
ing the precautions now taken, the existing legis-
lation being efficient to meet the evil.
All uncertainty about the movements of the
court is at an end, and this morning it was in-
stalled at Biarritz, where the Empress would find
her new bathing cabinet sacked, the mirrors broken.
and what could not be taken away destroyed. It
is not known who has been guilty of this outrageous
commentary on the lure des femmes. It is said that
M. von Bismarck is going to Biarritz, where the
Prussian Ambassador, Von Goitre, and the Rus-
sian, Von Budberg, are already installed. The
King of Portugal, who is expected in France with
his Queen after the baptism of his son, will not go
to Biarritz, at his arrival will not take place till
the middle of October.
It would seem that some of the Spanish papers
are dissatisfied with the somewhat ambiguous, as it
may seem to ordinary readers, compliment with
which the Emperor greeted M. Bermudez de Castro.
While he regretted the frequency of the changes of
ambassador, he found consolation in reflecting
that he was in fact passing all the most dis-
tinguished men in Spain in review before his
throne. The Constitution/lel sees in these words a

compliment pure and simple, and cannot under-

stand what has roused the sensitiveness of
Spaniards. According to the official *ant. who signs
the article, no language could be clearer and it

requires a strange amount of prejudice to misunder-
stand it.
At Strasbourg and throughout Alsace the excite-
ment caused by the anticipated impunity of Ott's
murderer is on the increase. A petition to the
Senate to obtain the efficient intervention of the
French government has been prepared, and it is
significant that the prefect of the department has
authorised its being carried round for signature in
all the oomninnes. No one here has the smallest

idea that such measures will have any other effect
than, perhaps, to give rise to a mock trial, at which
Count von Eulenberg will be declared more inno-
cent than an unborn baby. But the unfavourable
impression of Prussian justice, for reasons I have
