EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(71011 0171 OWN 00111OPONDI1T.)
PARIS, TuIIDAT EYININO.
The following despatch, received at one o'clock
this afternoon, had a momentary influence upon the
Bourse:

DRESDEN, MONDAY EVENING.

The Journal de Dreads, which has jut appeared, pub-
lishes a correspondence from Berlin which contains the fol-
lowing:
"Telegraphic despatches from tit. Petersburg, worthy of
all credit, say that. the state of the negotiations for peace at
Bt. Petersburg is not altogether unfavourable to an under-
standing, and that is particular a complete and formal re-
pudiation of the propositions communicated oa the part of

Austria by Count Etterhazy is not to be feared."

This despatch produced a slight rise in the Rente,
but the confidence engendered by it was extremely
shortened. It, in fact, merely holds out a shadowy hope
that the Russian answer is not such as to preclude all
possibility of further negotiation. In other words, it
confirms the idea that Rossi& will send an evasive,
inattadot a straightforward answer, but it in no respect
counteracts the now universal opinion than the terms
proposed by the Western Powers through Austria
are in substance, and for all practical purposes, re-
jected. The Rents, after being quoted at 83fr. 20c.,
'soon gays way, and closed at 82fr. 85c., with a fall
on the day of 25u. Credit Mobilier fell 20fr. Railways
were all from 2k. 600. to 6fr. lower.

The announced soirée at the Tails ries last night
was, after all, a grand ball. Some 6,000 people were
present. All the recently returned Crimean Gene-
rals Wen very conspicuous at this fete. Generals
Canrobert, Mellinet, Boequet, and Blanchard ap-
peared in their full marching uniform. The Em-
peror gave his arm to General Baguet, and walked
up and down with him for a long time. lam told
that his Majesty said, "General, you must get
quite well es soon as possible, for I want
to fight side by side with you in the next
campaign." No doubt seems to be entertained that
the Emperor means in the spring to indemnify him-
self for the disappointment which he expressed in
hie speech on the Platte de la Bastille at not having
been able to command an army in person. Bat,
whether his Majesty means to go to the north or to
the Crimea is still a question which is discussed.
M. David (d'Angers) the celebrated sculptor, died
on Sunday at the age of sixty-five, and was buried
to-day at Pere La Chaise. He was no relation
to the famous painter of his name of the First
Empire, although he was very generally supposed to
be one. In fact he was his pupil, and married his
niece. M. David (d'Angers) executed the frieze of
the Pantheon, and may be said to be tke inventor of
the colossal style of sculpture in Franco. His busts
of Chattunbriand and Lord Byron are well known.
He wee the author of the monuments:of General Foy
and Marshal St. Cyr, in Pere la Chaise ; of the statue
of Dr. Larrey, in Val de Gram, and of that
Philopetnen, in the Tuileries. In politics
he was an ardent republican, and he never
wavered in his faith in the principle of self-govern-
ment. He was a representative of the people in the
Assembly which was violently dissolved on Dec. 2,
1861. His name appeared in one of the earliest
lists of the proscribed. He took refuge at Brussels;
was permitted to return to France two or three
years since, but his exile had given a blow to his
health from which he
neral to-day an extraordinary crowd of eminent
men in the artistic, literary, and political world
attended. Among the followers were the poet Be-
ranger, General Cavaiguac, and MM. Villemain,
Etex, Goudohaux, Martin (de Strasbourg), Carnot,
Cambon, Marie, Vaulabelle, Guinard, le Comte de
Niewerkerke, Manin (the late President of the Re-
public of Venice), Gervais (de Caen), Jules Simon,
Ferdinand do Luteyrie, Barrens, jeans, Lime,
Dont, Ravin, Henri Lecture, Cremieux, Betide,
Charles Thomas, &c. The pall bearers were alter-
nately General Cevaignao, MM. Carnet, Gond-
chasm, Ambridge Thomas, Leon Halevey, Henri Le-
mke, and several pupils of the deceased. M. Leon
Halevey pronounced a funeral oration over the grave.
On leaving the cemetry Berazger was surrounded
by a number of artists and students, who embraced
him and almost carried him in their arms. Moved
by this ovation, the venerable lyric poet embraced
one of their number in the name of all the French
youth. I am sorry to add that after this ebullition
of feeling many insets were made.

SPAIN.

Letters from Barcelona announce that there have
been fresh disorders there. A workman employed in
M. Rose's factory having been discharged, a mob of
a hundred naiad operatives attacked the hones sad
did great damage. Some pistol shots were tired, but
happily without effect. The arrival of some troops
restored order. Several of the rioters are arrested,
and will be tried by oourt.martiaL
