PARIS. MONDAY STONING.

There is a strong impression that the Emperor
will make some announcement relative to peace to
the &Kate and Corps Lees Wit to-morrow. The
Paris, however, admits the propriety of a prolong-
ation of the armistice till April 80, which would not
be neameary if the settlement were close at hand.

There will be a grand review in the Champs de
Mars on Thursday.
I believe I may state with certainty that it has
been decided to send the Count de Morny on a spe-
cial mission to St. Petenbarg almost immediately.
Wooers' this news assumes that pesos will speedily
be made.

Baron de Mantsuffel, whose arrival in Paris to take
part in the conferences u the plenipotentiary of
Prairie I announced yesterday, is aocompanied by
Baron de Rechenberg, first secretary of legation.
The following bulletin was issued to-day at the
Tuileries:

March 17, Noes.
The health of the Empress is ezessedlogly satisractny.
The state of the Primes-Imperial is excellent.

LAmmum, P. DAMIALDR.
Pursuant to the announcement in the Montlour, a
chamberlain wu in waiting all today to answer in-
quiries. Although the public, without distinction,
were admitted, the number dulls was comparatively
small—the reason being that humble individuals
could not readily believe that they were at liberty to
pass unchallenged through those well-guarded portals,
which are habitually only traversed by the great and
privileged. There was, therefore, no crowding. The
visitor whose solicitude or curiosity prompted him to
take this unusual opportunity of going to court, was
conducted throogh ales of imperial footmen
in splendid liveries, passed along corridors where
Cent Garde', armed to the teeth, were standing
sentry, and after mounting a staircase of three or
four steps, found himself in • salon, where there
were a secretary in black and a chamberlain in a red
tonic, much like thatof a oolonelof the English guards.
Both these functionaries rose politely to receive the
inquirer, showed him the bulletin, and pointed to the
book where he was expected to subscribe his name.
The following are the latest bulletins concerning
Prince Jerome :

The illuminations lest night were the moot general
that have been seen in Paris for years. Not only
were all the public offices, theatre., ministries, &0.,
brilliantly lit up, but private bows almost every-
where hung out many coloured lanterns.

Long before the hour appointed for the opening of
the theatres for the public gratuitous performances
at two o'clock to-day an immense number of people
had rumbled outside the different homes. The scat
of thus entertainments we. at the expense of the
civil list, and at all the theatres the first arbiter per-
formed. The following theatres, in addition to their
ordinary performances, gave something appropriate
to the occasion At the Grand Opera • mutat& was
executed ; at the Tbeitre Francais, an ode on the
birth of the Prince-Imperial; Optra Comique, a can-
tata; Odeon, " Le 18 Mare;" Metre Lyrique, a can-
tata; Vaudeville, " L'Espoir de in Francs;" Varif :es,
"Ina Berman Imperial; " Palais-Royal, " 101 Coups
de Osseo l• Porte-Saint-Martin, divertissement
allegorique ; Gaith " L'llatent de la Francs;"
Asap Cookies, "Ala Vote do Canon" and at the
Cirque Imperial, a cantata. Every theatre we.
crowded, generally with persons a the lower cleans
of society, and better coedaeted audiences it was im-
possible to find auywhere. At the Francais the ode,
composed by M. Miry, was recited by M. Botswana.
The Natant at the Opera was by M. Adam, the
weeds by M. Facial. The cantata of the Opera
Comities was composed by IL Hairy.
On the mad= of the happy delivery of the Em-
press. a To Dam was sang end prayers of thanks-
giving offered up yesterday is all the churches of
the Reformed Church in Paris and the baulks& The
same will take pleas on Sudsy next in the other
parts of the Consisterial eireuesseriptioa.
Before the private baptism of the prince, the
members of the imperial family and the court attended
mom in the chapel of the Tuileries. The court
preacher took a text appropriate to Palm Sunday—
" Henan:otos qui unit in noosing Domini." "Binned
I. be who °meth in the name of the Lord." After
making an ordinary applisadoe of these words, the
preacher exclaimed, " But your ideas auticipate mine:
public gratitude mingles with the new besedietices
at the triumphal pomp of the Saviour of the
world." Then. with an apostrophe, he pro-
eseded—"Lord Jesus, supreme Master of hiage
and people, Thou bast beard our prayers, and hest
granted the wishes of the sovereign and of the
country. We return thanks to Thee before our
altars for having given to an august union that fruit-
fulness which forms the loyal this great day. It is
Thou who host blessed, in as heir to the throne, both
the faith of the prises who prodaime before all the
world his mimics, and the charity of the pious
prism's, who bateau herself in being the protect-
rem of the unfortunate and the mother of Th 7 poor.
Complete Thy mercies, 0 Lord I Watch over this
'wadi*, the depository of so many hopes. Per, him
Thyself to be the happiness of a great people. Give
hint from his father genius sad merianimity ; from
hi. mother kindness and Ineshanstible benevolence;
and from both sincere faith and devoted religion.
To wet up all, give him a heart worthy of his destiny
asd worthy of his name'
It is a oancideues which soma fad to challenge
remark that the umber of the Yeedaser announcing
the birth of an heir to the throne of the Bonaparte.,
contains a doom cedainieg that all the money which
still bears the effigy of Liberty shall cease to be ear-
rest one.

It has bsen stated in several *rink us an Instance
of the extreordisary frankness with whisk Russia
catered into the prsesat negotiations, that Count
Orloff alone of all the plenipotentiaries sent his
despatches to his goverusat is Feast& instead of
cypher. I happen to know that this is not the fact.

The Minister at War ham ordered the 140,000
remit% &lsd oat by the demo el Marsh 6, to join

, -
their regiments between the 31et of March and the
ith et April next. Thie peremptory order disposes
very effectually al the suggestion, that because the
deans left the Minister at War a discretion as to
' the time when the men were to take up arms, they
might perhaps not all be wanted immediately.

The Bourn does not show itself sensitive to re-
mote dyeasties! questions. The birth of the Impe-
rial Prince produoed no effect whatever there. The
market is over-bought by weak buyers, and great
capitalists and the Credit Mobilier principally take
advantage of the sitastion to sell for account, and to
obtain enormous interest for carrying over. The
Rents fell 40c. for cash, and 30e, for account, closing
at 72k. 60c., and 73k. 160. Credit Mobilier fell
17fr. 300. Railways were from 2k. 600. to 6fr.
lower. Gt. Rambert and Grenoble fell 12fr. Mc.

A letter from Marseilles states that the corn market
there has a decided downward tendency. Large
sales have been made at 271 r. per hectolitre, African
corn also falling.
In the Paris corn-market during the put week
there have been several variations in prices. The
four marks, which h►d been ten days ago at 89fr.,
and 88fr. the sack of 169 kilogramme•, went up to
94fr., and afterwards fell to 92fr. Very little bui-
nese, however, has been done during the week.

M. Horses Vernet has just finished a grand pic-
ture of the battle of the Alma, painted to order for
Prince Jerome.

The Moristeur of this day announoes that M. Paul
Dubois is promoted to the rank of Commander of
the Legion of Honour. It alas states that the Em-
peror has granted out of the funds of the Civil List
the following donations:-10,000fr. to the So-
ciety of Authors and Dramatic Composers ;
10,000 fr. to the Society of Men of Letters ;
10,000 fr. to the Association of Dramatic Artistes;
10,000 fr. to the Society of Musicians; 10,000 fr. to
the Society of Painters, Sculptors, Engravers, and
Designers; and 10,000 fr. to the Society of Inventors
and Industrial Artistes. The Moniteur also pub-
lishes a poem of twenty-four verses by M. Theophile
Gautier, entitled, "Nativite." The adulation and
daring extravagance of these lines have seldom been
equalled.

THE MED',

MALTA, MARCH 11.
The aspect of Malta is anything but pacific just
now : munitions of war and troops are forwarded
with unabated activity to the East. 4,590 men were
sent from here lut week ; and from persons who sp.
pear capable of judging, I hear the very highest
accounts of their training and high state of disci-
pline. Very great praise is due to Sir John Pen-
nefather and his staff for their attention, not only
to the drill of these men, but to their comfort ; for
they looked not only smart soldiers, but contented,
happy men, proud of themselves, and delighted at
leaving for the Crimea. The departure of the
various steamers was a most exhilarating sight—
such playing of bands, cheering, harming, more like
starting to a wedding than to a fight. Beside the
4,600 men which have been sent to the Crimea, other
3,000 are ready to embark.
Various changes have been made among the depots,
so as to make room for the Italian Legion, which are
to disembark at Fort Manoel. Peace appears to be
very unpopular both among officers and soldiers; they
look upon it as a personal injury. They all appear
to be in fighting humour, and will be sadly diem).
pointed if they do not have another campaign.
Mr. Muir (a Freemason) has proposed to erect a solid
block of marble to the " Memory of the brethren who
have lost their lives in the Eastern expedition in 1854
and following years," to be raised by Freemason' of
Malta and the united services. The proposition has been
at once responded to with that liberality which always
distinguishes the brethren, more especially those of
Malta. The cenotaph is to be placed in the Crimea,
and will consist of one solid block of marble 7 feet
long by 3 high and 3! wide, weighing over 41 tons.
Mr. Muir is appointed treasurer, as he formerly was
to procure the handKime present made by the brigade
of Guards to the Union No. 588, on their musing
through Malta in 1854.
Orders have been received from England to collect
in the Crimea all the bodies that can be found of the
°Moen of the Guards, and have them interred at
Cathcart's Hill.
The Hon. Sir Montagne Stopford, Port Admiral,
lies been very ill with the gout, and confined to his
room; but the duties have been most efficiently
carried out by the ever active and energetic Sir
Houston Stewart, who proved himself so eminently
calculated for the post in 1854. He now, in the ab.
sauce of Sir Edmund Lyons, commands the fleet, and
never was a fleet happier or in a more efficient state.
The Great Britain brought about 1,100 of the Its-
lies Legion, and they. are now displaying their
peruse and uniforms in our streets. She brought
also some 30 bullocks, the contractors having ob.
tained from the admiral several steamers to
Procure cattle on their paying the cost of the
vessel. They have been successful in procuring
cattle from Italy. The King of Naples has again
permitted, for a limited time, the exportation of
biscuit and maccaroni, on the payment of a trifle
export duty. The rebellion in Tripoli being ar.
turd, we shall have greater facilities for procuring
cattle from that country. Mr. Hamilton, who it was
said had been seat to Constantinople in chains, is still
be that country.
CapL Goldsmith, C.B.,camea passenger in the Fire-
brand, to proceed to England to take charge of
Chatham Dockyard. Capt. Pym, of the Firebrand,
took charge of the Sidon, vice Goldsmith.
Captain Oiffard. of the Leopard, has been invalided,
sad proceeded to England. Her first lieutenant takes
her to the Black Sea; so there are two vacancies for
captains, one in the Leopard and one in the Firebrand.
The Beagle, Lieut. Hewitt, had to put back, from
some alight damage to her machinery.
Mr. Odger, boatswain of the St. Jean d'Acre, was
tried for drunkenness, and reduced one grade; but
no court-martial could have been more flattering, for
both his captain and commander spoke in the highest
terms of him, and he is stated to be the beet boat-
swain in the service. The St. Jean d'Acre has gone
to the Black Bea, calling en route at Athens.
The Highflyer has also gone, taking with her the
Hon. Mrs. Choy, wife of the admiral at Constar.
tinople.
The French fleet, en route to the eastward, passed
our island a few days since.
We have also numbers of small screw steamers
calling here en route to the Crimes, with all sorts of
ventures. Some I fear will be failures, from the
market being overstocked. However, should they
tail at Constantinople, there is plenty of work for
screw steamers in the Mediterranean, and if only
common prudence is adopted they must realise large
profits.
March 12.—The steamer Grecian, from Liverpool,
and the Thalia arrived this morning.
