PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

It is maid that the Emperor will leave Vichy two
days sooner than was expected, arriving at St.
Cloud on August 6, instead of the Bth.
Count de Chasseloup Lanbat, the Minister of
Marine, who, it appears, has lately been at Cher-
bourg "incog.," is now reported to be at Brest
under the same conditions, the real object of his
tour being to hasten the armament of the ships
destined for Mexico. Why it should have been
thought necessary for him to perfom this duty
" incog." I have not the remotest idea.
The Pays gives as Constantinople news, "under
all reserve," that the English ambassador openly
stated in conference that Russia had provoked the
recent disorders in Bulgaria ; the Russian minister
made a warm reply, and thereupon the conference
was adjourned.
The Charivari has a caricature, by Chain, which
deserves notice. Lord Palmerston iu his place in
parliament is represented as holding up to the as-
sembled Commons a Jack-in-the-box, behind which
he grins, while a fierce-looking Zouave jumps out,
and points hia fixed bayonet at the noses of the mem-
bers. The likeness to yourpremier is not very strik-
ing, but aletterprescacoompaniment, to remove the
possibility of doubt, states that the picture is that
of "Lord Palmerston asking the Commons for
money for coast defences." The French artist,
giving loose to his imagination, depicts the English
prime minister as sitting behind a big mahogany
bureau, such as M. Billanit has in the Corps Legis-
latif, and, by way of giving what he doubtless con-
siders local colour, he puts upon the bureau a glass
of brandy and water with a spoon in it.
M. Rector Malot, the Exhibition correspondent
in London of the Opinion Nationale, tells a good
story, illustrative of the manners of high-born
ladies whose fashionable arrangements do not
allow them time to see much of their children.
Re represents a gran& dame saying, "Oh, dear
me ! I feel very dull this evening ; I should like
to go and kiss the darlings, but I really do not
know in what part of the house the nursery is !"
M. Dufaure, who, though long in the very high-
est rank at the Paris bar, was not till lately of suf-
ficient standing to belong to the council of the I
order (his early forensic career having been passed
at Bordeaux, and his Paris call only dating from
1849), was elected a member to-day, and stands at
the very top of the poll. M. &nerd, another
eminent advocate, whose reputation was first made
in the provinces, is also now placed on the list of
the envied couucil. He was translated from the
Rouen bar to that of Paris after 1848. It will be
remembered that he was at one time President of
the Legialativa Assembly.
The transactions for the settlement have produced
but little fluctuation, and, ultimately, scarcely
any change at the Bourse. The Rents closed for
cash at yesterday's price, 68fr. 70c., and at the same
figure for account, being a fall of 50. Mobilier fell
Mr. 25c. The Italian Loan rose sc. Railways are
a mere shade lower.

The Campana Museum, which was to have closed
yesterday, will remain open to the public, as
hitherto, until the end of October, the period
when the saloons of the Louvre will be ready for
its reception.

The following summary of intelligence from
Mexico of June 28 is published in the Constitution:
nel :

Bands of guerillas declaring themselves in favour of the
Idownfall of Juarez are multiplying on the Mexican tani-
Cory. The famous partisan chief Buitron is established
with his men almost at the very gates of the capital, and
conies on an obstinate war with the government forces.
The rout of the army of Zaragoza has produced among his
soldiers an extraordinary movement of desertion. That
general bad 20,000 men under his orders when he crowed
the Cumbres of Alcultzingo to march on Orizaba. At
present, according to persons who pretend to be
well informed, his army is reduced to about
8,000 men ; the rest is disabled, or have disap-
peered, or deserted, or have passed over to the ranks of
General Almonte. The government of Juarez is at its
last shift. It has just decreed that the fortune of private
individuals should form the army fund. The taus n
favour of charitable and educational establisbmenta have been
seized ; forced loans and extraordinary contributions enc-
ased each other with great rapidity, and to a ruinous
extsat Letters on that 'abject affirm that if such a
state of things continues, all the inhabitant, whatever
their natiooality, will be reduced to complete misery.
Pronunciamientos have taken place at Jalizo, Durango,
Chihuahua, Zeolite:as, Parma; and Mazatlan. The three
(moral officers of the enemy killed in the affair of the
13th are, according to the report of General Ortega,
Dsgoberto Garcia, Fortunate Alcocer, and I* Liana
