EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MOM OUR OWN CO/RUSTONDINT.)
PARIS, THURSDAY ETININIb.

Like most of the Emperor's speeches, the address
of his Majesty to the Russian Ambemador, reported
in this morning's Morsininr, requires to be read very

attentively in order not to be

withezEding its remarkable brevity it will, I venture
to say, suggest a great variety of interpretations. I
have remarked on many previous occasions that the
ambiguities in the Emperor's oracular disorients are
of that kind which the lawyers cell "latent." If we
do not look out of the four corners of the paper which
contains them they appear clear, and they are com-
monly praised for their franknem and precision. But
when they come to be collated with the surrounding
eircumatancos, it will almost always be found that
they represent past events with doubtful accuracy,
and hint at the &tare in terms admitting the widest
latitude of interpretation. In the preterit instance a
number of propositions which would not strike a
casual reader seem to me to be deducible from
this single amateur* in the epee& :—" From the mo-
meet that the treaty of peace was signed, my con-
shod preoccupation has been, without weakening my
ancient allianoes, to alleviate by friendly proceedings
(bons procedia) everything that might be rigorous in
the strict execution of certain conditions." I think
it easy be pretty clearly inferred from this-1. That
if English statesmen consented to that inadequate
peace with Russia which the nation so jestly deplored,
it was because France turned round upon them in
the Congress, and refused her concurrence to obtain
better term,. 2. That those conditions which in
England are called indulgent were from the first
termed by France rigorous, in order to curry favour
with Russia. 3. That if Russia has evaded many
conditions of the treaty, and still seeks to evade
others, it is because she has been encouraged sad
comforted by the French government in that course-
4. That good manners (boss proadee) were not
to be expected from England, and therefore that
the principal anxiety of France from the first
(des gm* le trait 4 depasx o Ite alga) was to supply
the presumed want of that quality in her ally.
8. (And this is the result of M. de Persigny's visit
to Compiegne.) That if the French government
affects the sweeder ins triode, it now professes the
foreder is re, for the speech clearly infers that the
conditions of the treaty are, after all, to be strictly
executed. 8. That what in the view of the French
government are the conditions, remains quite open
to future controversy. 9. (And this is the mode-
don drawn by the Prom of this evening.) That the
relations of France and Russia for the future ap-
pear likely to be very intimate.
The Bourse, at the opening, was in an attitude of
expectation, it not being doubted that the Bank of
France monthly accounts, which were made up this
day, would exercise an Ingham* in the market.
There was a report that 7,000,000 fr. of gold had
lately been paid into the bank, and that
in *onomastics of this supply the amount of
coin sod bullion in the cellars would turn out to be
nearly as much as lest month. Telegraphic) des-
patches from London stating that all cause of dissen-
sion between the cabinets of Paris and London had
diapered exercised a favourable influence upon
the market. Although, however, there were a good
many purchases. the Resta for amount was not at
any time quoted higher than yesterday's dogleg
prise, and when at withla a qearter of an hour o I
three o'clock the news came that the Bank of England
bad Weed its &must from 6 to 7 per cent., there
was a sudden and rapid fall. The Rents for account
idl Ida, stogie' at M. 600. Pot ash the last prise
was the same as yesterday, 88fr. 40e. Credit Mobi-
lise floctuted a good deal, bet closed at about a haw
higher for sceount. For mousey it was greatly in-
quired kr Is the owning, but paler the Inflame of

the news from London, it ultimately fell 25fr. A
good many looney purehues were made in
railways, Mediterranean being the favourite line,
but quotations gave way at the last, in sympathy
with the Rents, and but few lines realised a rise of
2fr. or Bfr. Eastern was heavy throughout the day,
and fell 7fr. 50e.

No mail from London has arrived today, in 4:011111•
quince, probably, of bad weather in the Channel.
A telegraphic despatch from Cherbourg stated that
the Russian squadron which was expected in that
port arrived there on Tumidity evening, and that it
would remain a fortnight or three weeks.
General Dufour has arrived at Paris on a special
minion to the Emperor, from the Swiss oonfederation,
touching the affair of NeurchateL
The police notions to keep a strict watch over
butchers, in order to see that they execute the ordi-
nance relative to the sale of meat. Yesterday not
fewer than twenty-six butchers were fined by the
Tribunal of Police from 2fr. to 40fr. for sundry vio-
lations of that ordinance ; and five of them having
offended a second time, were, in addition, condemned
to from one to three days' imprisonment. The Tri-
bunal also lined eight bakers from llfr. to 20fr. for
giving fake weight.

PARIS, WEDNEIDAT EVENING.

The Marquis de Villaraaritm, the Sardinian *Waa
sador, haa left Paris for Turin, having probably coot.
lion to consult with his government on the present
crisis.

The Preue lately published a aeries of articles,
entitled "Of some Liberties before 1789." The
government, thinking that some of these papers led
to the inference that there was more liberty before
1789 than now, has ordered the journal to discon-
tinue the series. The Prime adroitly takes advantage
of the prohibition to publish a reelame, stating that
the articles were extracted from a book, by M. de
Feuillede, entitled " Avant 1789 Royauie, Droit, Li-
berth," and that inasmuch us the liberty of books is lees
restricted than that of newspapers, the volume will
probably be segeriy sought for. I recommend this
fact to the totios of a London weekly journal, which
argued last Sunday that the French press had every
reasonable liberty, and was only restricted from pub-
lishing sedition.
