EMPRESS FROM PARIS

Mott oul writ

PARIS, Manua Emma.

An extraordinary Ministerial Council was held I i
at the Tuileries to-day, the Empress presiding. It
was resolved that the paragraph in yesterday's
Patric threatening the United States should be
disavowed, and, in consequence of • peremptory
order which it has received, the Petrie of this ,
evening gives the following piteous contradiction of
its own news so confidently put forth yesterday :
Farther information permits as to modify the news pub-
limbed by the Patric yesterday, that Admiral Baron Dide-
lot was selected to go oat as sensmaedent of the naval
division of the Westere mute of America, with apedal
inernatioes. The only thing cornet in the statement was
the fact that Bear-Admiral Boise's term of command has
expired, sad that he is about to be relieved, according to
image, by some other officer. In any as. the new cot:i-
mpeder of the squadron will be charged with no exceptional
mission, and will have no other powers than those of hie
prr. iecessor.
Thus vanishes everything sensational in the
Patrie's paragraph, the substance of which was, I
rather think, communicated to you by tele-
graph. Yesterday it had reason to know that
the French government had resolved upon
the " most energetic measures" against the
American volunteers ; that France would not
"permit" adventurers to attack • country "pro-
tected ty her flag," and that Admiral Didelot, who
was going out in the Themis from Brest, would re-
ceive, before embarking, the "most precise instruc-
tions" from the Emperor as to what be was to do to
put down the "successors to Lopez and Walker."
These brave words, which the unfortunate Petrie
is now compelled to eat, were evidently "commu-
nicated" to that journal ; however, both they and
the very precise and specific statements of facts
comprised in them are now upon better advice to
be deemed and taken as "false news."

The Independence Beige (which by the way is 1
seized in Paris to-day) says that great anxiety
continues to be felt at the Tuileries on the subject
of Prince Napoleon's speech, and that a telegram
of 500 or 600 words was sent to the Emperor to
ask for instructions. The Belgian journal does
not know whether the answer arrived soon enough
to sanction the measures for restricting its pub-
licity taken by the Empress Regent. Referring
to the repeated seizures of the Independence Brigs
last week, this journal says it cannot complain if
it is treated in France just in the same way as
the first prince of the blood and the Vice-Presi-
dent of the Privy Council. The legitimist prints
in Paris, seeing their opportunity, write, under the
pretext of attacking the inconvenient cousin, most
sarcastic things concerning Napoleon L and
" Id6es Napoleoniennes ", in general. The Union
of to-day has a masterpiece in this kind.
It is under consideration whether the Opinion
Nationale shall not be suspended for two months
for an article of Saturday, making light of the ma-
jority of the Corps Legislatif. I believe, however,
an answer from Algiers is waited for before, if at
all, this severe measure will be taken. M. Gueronit,
in a paragraph betraying considerable trepidation,
says he is astonished to hear that some of his col-
leagues have been "much moved" by his observa-
tions, and he declares that he never meant to say
anything "unconstitutional."
The American news having produced its full
effect on Saturday's Bourse, there was a little up-
ward reaction to-day. Rents rose 20c. both for
clash and account, closing at 67fr. 35c. in each case.
Mobilier rose 151 r., and most of the railways from
2fr. 60c. to Mr. Mexican rose f, closing at 44
