XXPREttIS FROM PARIS.

(nom 001 OWN C011111POND1Wr.)
PAW% TOLSDAT EVENING.

The Emperor was to Lave left Paris for Fon-
tainebleau, ea rotate for PlombiiTes, this evening or
to-morrow morning ; but it is rumoured thin after-
noon that his departure will be delayed on account
of the Algerian reforms which be wishes to have
puled before he leaves Paris. The idea of giving
beck the Algerian Sahara to the Arabs, France re-
• • g only a suzerainty over it, is once more
upon the tape, and I seriously think that the Em-
peror is dipeussing the project with Abd-el-Ksder.
One of the features of the plan is that an Arab
chief, called an Ayha, will be appointed by the
Emperor for every province, and will be held re-
sponsible for the tranquillity of the district com-
mitted to his charge.
When it was found that the Corps Legislatif saps-
rated without havine passed the bill for the aboli-
tion of imprisonment for debt, the creditor class, who
(like most other classes of society) had supposed
that a measure recommended by the Emperor in a
speech from the throne was as good as voted, and
bed consequently given themselves no trouble
about iusulveut debtors, suddenly awoke to the
consciousness that their time-honoured rights re-
mained intact. The bum-bailitTs—Gallicd recors—
who had fancied their occupation gone, and were
looking out for other professions, are now over-
whelmed with business. As many as 300 ca sa's,
to use the Chancery-lane term, have been issued
within the last two days.
A pamphlet, printed at Brussels, entitled " The
Clergy in the Pillory," has been seized in Paris,
and a M. Fr. Valette, a librarian, of the Rue St.
Sulpice, is to be prosecuted for " selling a work
insulting to a form of worship recognised in
France." It is curious to observe how the prin-
ciples and legislation of 1789 compel the catholic
functionaries who have power to persecute
books of which they disapprove to use lan-
guage which ill expresses their feelings and the
general practice. It is standing law, not to be
denied, and impossible to be repealed, that
there is no established or state religion in
France. All religions—provided they have a
sufficient number of disciples to be taken
judicial notice of—are equal in the eye of the law.
But under the government which undertook the
expedition to Rome, and yet occupies Rome in
the interest of the catholic faith, Popish tenets
alone are protected by prosecutions. Any other
religion than the Romish, albeit " recognised by
law," may be libelled with impunity.
A letter of Count Rayneval, the late chamber-
bind Priam Napoleon, reveals to those not already
aware of it, a tremendous split in the prince's house-
hold following upon his disgrace. His private secre-
tary, IL Buteine, recently published a letter deny-
ing that General Franconniere and other persons
in his ureice had resigned their appointments, but
the letter made no reference to his principal
officer, Count Rayneval. The latter now says that
although the fact has not hitherto been published
it is notorious that the prince dismissed him from
July L Re refers to his appointment by the
Emperor in a way to make it appear that he was
the Emperor's servant and not Prince Napoleon's,
and complains that his name has been purposely
omitted, by M. Ilubaine, from the list of those
that the prince "esteems and loves."
The contradiction of the news that M. Bdhic, the
Minister of Public Works, was going to inspect the
Iluer Canal, is varied by the statement in one
quarter that he has "renounced the project." The
immediate destination of the minister, who, albeit
his inharmonious name is not yet very familiar to
the public, plays a part ex equo with M. Hausa-
mann in working the great principle of discounting
future prosperity by lavish present expenditure, is
Pfsffers in the Grisons, where be is going to take
the waters.
Private letters from Mexico are far from con-
firming the official accounts of the annihilation of
the kat remnants of adherents of Juarez. From •
variety of negative testimony I have come to the
conclusion that the news of the capture of General
Negrete, which the French official press has been
feeding upon for a fortnight, is not true.
The Bourse was much better to-day, and won-
derful to relate the rise is attributed to • report in
the Poll Mall Gazette, which the speculators took
for the official Gazette, that the Emperor has at
length arranged his congrecti. Route rose 25c. for
cash and 300. for account, closing at 66fr. 45c. in
each case. Mobilier was extremely firm, and rose
3fite 25c. Mexican was not quite so spry as lately,
and fell The City of Paris loan is now the great
lever of the market.

THE RECOGNITION OF ITALY BY SPAIN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Indipendattee
1,49 e, Writing on the sth, says :—"The recogni-
tloo of the kingdom of Italy must be at the pre-
bent moment all but effected. M. Zarco del Valle,
Serge d'Affaires of Spain, was to arrive at Florence
Yesterday for the express purpose of notifying to
the Italian cabinet the intentions of that of Madrid.
It is supposed that King Victor Emmanuel will
bates to send a minister plenipotentiary to Spain
notify to Queen Isabella the transfer of the ce.pi-
,l to Florence, and immediately afterwards M.
nu
trlloa, and not as reported M. Olozaga,
nnu proceed to that city as minister plenipotentiary
Spain."
BY the Spanish papers we learn that the question
oas discussed in the Chamber on the 6th and Tth.
4°Nocedal brought forward a motion condemning
cognitionr of Italy by Spain, on the ground
that new kingdom hal not yet been recognised
bY the Pone. He declared himself opposed to the
tutity of Italy, and said that to approve it would be
,44 uti!luity which no government calling itself
Wholle ought to commit. He concluded by
4144 that even though the Queen were to 5ane-
.,6211 the recognition of Italy be would never respect
ad. In reply the Minister of Foreign Affairs
Ind that the recognition was not in any way a reli-
tilos question but purely a political one. The
7,fttieter censured M. Nocedal in very strong terms
we favouring disobedience to the laws, and con-
'lt4bel the attitude he and his party bad assumed
Kbeing an appeal to revolution and civil war.
Nooedal'e motion was ultimately withdrawn.
