PARIS, FRIDAY EVINDPG.

Bullier's Correspondence asserts to-night that M.
de Sartigues is instructed to demand from the King
of Italy a public and unequivocal renunciation of
his claim to have Rome for a capital ; and that, at
the same time, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne
will ask the Pope to accept aocomplished facts, and
content himself with Rome and the patrimony of
St. Peter for temporal dominions. This is the new
policy of " conciliation " which M. Drouyn de
Lhuys has taken upon himself the policy of nego-
tiating. Everybody knows—and no one better
than M. Drouyu de Lhuys—that the double nego-
tiation will signally fail ; but as the failure
merely means the continuance of the French
occupation, with or without a new excuse,
the Foreign Minister, as an ultramontanist
and an enemy of Italian unity, finds his account in
consenting to play the farce. M. Rattazzi, lam
sorry to think, would accept the terms dictated by
France, but he dares not say so openly because
then he would be no longer minister. Bullier's
Correspondence itself expresses the opinion that,
whether Rattazzi resigns at once or appeals to the
constituency, the " party of action " is destined
to replace him. The France shares this opinion,
but urges the King to take Massimo d'Azeglio for
his minister and authorise him to make a coup

It is not wonderful, under the above circum-
stances, that Viscount de la Gueronnibre's name
should be in the first list of invited guests to
Compibgne.
The Emperor came to the Tuileries from
St. Cloud to-day to preside at a sitting of
the Council of State, in which was discussed the
great and long vexed question whether any and
what; change should be made in the laws regulating
the supply and price of bread in Paris. It is be-
lieved that the Emperor inclines to throw the
bakers' trade open ; but the mass of evidence taken
by a committee of inquiry, which has been at work
for upwards of a year, contains many contradictory
opinions. The council sat upwards of two hours.
According to present arrangements, the court
goes to Compiegne on November 2, and on the
16th the Emperor will come to Paris for the
inauguration of the Boulevard Prince Eugene,
on which occasion he will make a speech. As his
November speeches have been so important for the
last two years, this one is naturally looked forward
to with much curiosity.

The Bourse was affected to-day by the report
(which seems to be true) of an insurrection in
Greece, and upon the principle of misfortunes nut
corning singly, it was added that King Otho had
fled, and, moreover, that the King of Prussia had
abdicated. Although the latter news was not be-
lieved, the Bente declined, but recovered towards
the close, with a fall of only 20c. and 15c. The
Italian Loan fell 40c. In other securities there
was little change.
Mr. Dillon was buried to-day at St. Germaine.
A large concourse of friends followed him to the
grave. He was only thirty-four years old, and
leaves a mother and sister, who are said to have
been dependent upon him. An " instruction "is
commenced against the Duke de Gramont Cade-
rousse, but it is reported that he and the four
seconds have fled to Belgium. They will probably
not be long absent, as the French laws with respect
to duelling are extremely lenient, and the sentences
in the rare cane of a conviction seldom more than
nominal.

A priest named Abbi Bieron, curd of Saint-
Utomer, in the department of the Vienne, has just
been convicted of debauching several young girls,
among whom were some entrusted to him by their
parents to prepare them for the first communion ;
the scoundrel is sentenced to five years' imprison-
ment.

It ig stated by the Paris correspondent of the
Nord that the unfortunate Mr. Dillon, who was killed in
the duel described in yesterday's !express, was entirely
ignorant of the use of the sword, and that he was run
through at the first pass.

Walking the other day on the beach at Biarritz,
the Emperor Napoleon, it is said, happened to meet an
intelligent-looking boy, about eight or nine years old, who
took off his hat as be passed. The Emperor courteously
returned the salute, and said, " Are yuu English !°'
" No," answered the boy very quickly, and drawing him-
self up, " I'm American." "Oh ! American are you?
Well, tell me which are you for, North or South r
" Well, father's for the North I believe, but I am certainly
for the South. For which of them are you, sir?' The
Emperor stroked his moustache, smiled, hesitated a little,
and then said, "I am for both." " For both are you?
Well, that's not so easy, and it will please nobody." Be
Majesty let the conversation drop. and walked on.

The Emperor Napoleon left St. Cloud on Thum-
day morning for Baron de Rothschild'a seat of Ferrires, on
a shooting excursion, as announced. Before taking his de-
parture his Majesty reosived Sir John Bowring, who de-
livered his credentials as Envoy Fextraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of the King of the Hawaiian Ishieds.
It is understood that the Italian government
have contracted with the Millwall Iron Works for a war
steamer of 2,030 toes, fitted with cupolas on the principle
of Captain Coles. The engines of 700 horse power are to be
by Messrs. fdaudslay and Co.
The German journals are much amused at an
error lately committed by the Augsburg Gazette. That
journal, in publishing a despatch from Turin, which an-
nounced the amnesty granted to Garibaldi, concluded It
by these words :—" It is on the intercession of the Pope
that King Victor Emmanuel decided on this act of
clemency." The above-named journal bad mistaken the
name of the Pi:Moses Pia for that of the heed of the
church.

The A beilit du Nord, of St. Petersburg, exps-
Cates with much severity against the acts of the cabinet of
Berlin, and against its alliance with the feudal party.
