PARIS, TIMMY BRIM.
The tone of the Paris press entirely trout
my construction of the Emperor's speecht it

AT AUXICREE.

CFII.OII oat

means war.
M. Emile de Girardin, than whom, from the
nature of his long experience of war and revolu-
tions, and the society which he frequents, no man
is better able to interpret such an official discourse,
devotes to it in his journal, La Liberfe, these two
lines only :
This speech requires no comment. In Franca and
Europe it will sound like a canna shot.
Senator Gueronnikre's paper, La France, says :
We are profoundly devoted to the cause of peace ; but,
under existing circumstances, our first duty is to tell the
truth to our readers, and we are oansimined to my that,
after the Emperor's speech, we so louver believe in peaoe.
The France proceeds :
When the Emperor Napoleon, invoking the souvenirs of
the first empire, declares that he " detests" the treaties
of 1815, the sentiment cannot possibly be construed as
the impotent lament of a sovereign resigned to suffer
them ; the protest must mesa that he is determined to
put an end to them. The Auxerre speech has been un-
derstood by everybody in this sense, and the profound
emotion which the words have excited leaves no room for
doubt sa to their interpretation. Such is the truth. It
is most serious ; but we above all people, as sincere parti-
'sans of a policy of peace, cannot remain under any dela-
, don.
And now, then, that France means to go to war
because she " detests " the treaties of 1815, it is
very pertinent to tusk what remains of those
treaties which does any harm to France 1 The
Emperor himself declared, in 1863, when he
proposed a congress, that they " had ceased to
exist." His own accession to the imperial throne,
eleven years before, was the greatest breach ever
made in those treaties. That breach is acquiesced
in by all Europe, and no foreign power dreams of
aggression against the empire. There remains, in
fact, no shred of those treaties which does the
slightest harm to France unless on the supposition
that she wants to extend her frontiers at the
expense of her neighbours. The famous declara-
tion, "The empire is peace," was fondly thought
to be an avowal that the Emperor had sufficiently
" avenged Waterloo " by being made Emperor.
But now the Auxerre speech forebodes
that in the Emperor's mind vengeance for
Waterloo is yet to come, and that he yet
hankers after the bloody glories of the first
Empire which he so complacently dwelt upon be-
fore the vine-dressers of the Yonne.
There are rumours this evening of ministerial
changes. No doubt, if there is to be war, many of
the ministers—and the most important of all of
them, M. Fould—who have been deceived while the
Emperor in his own cabinet was " privately" tele-
graphing to the French ambassador at Berlin, will
have to go out.
There was an upward reaction at the Bourse to-
day, but only on the principle that it is a long lane
which has no turning ; and the rise betokens no
change in the political situation. Bente recovered
from yesterday's great panic to the extent of 65c.
for cash and 70c. for account, closing at 63fr. and
62fr. 80c. The Italian Loan (which it must be re-
membered has fallen 20fr. in the course of a month)
rose lir. 10c. ; Credit Foncier rose 40c., and Mo-
biller 30c. ; the Northern Railway rose 25fr.
There was a private ball at the Tuileries yester-
day evening, which will not, however, be the last
for the season of the entertainments known as the
Empress's Mondays. Instead of the four origi_
!tally contemplated, it has been decided to have
six, and two are to come. At the assembly last
night there was little dancing except among very
young people. All the political magnates present
gathered into groups eagerly seeking disclosures
on the momentous situation revealed by the
Auxerre speech. It was observed that the Em-
peror conversed apart for a long while with the
Duke de Palikao, who, according to rumour, is
destined to a high command in the coming war.
Colonel Charm' posthumous work, " The Cam-
paign of 1813." was published at Frankfort last
week. It begins with the return to Prussia of the
remnant of the grand army after the retreat of
Moscow, and comes down to the moment when
Napoleon learned at Erfurt the rupture of the
Austrian alliance. The author did not live to
finish his history. The book is interdicted in
France as was the former one by the same writer,
" The Campaign of 1815 and the Battle of
Waterloo."
Captain Magnan—no relation of the late mar-
shal—whose name was some years ago much be-
fore the public as the founder of French steam
navigation on the Danube, died last week at his
ill I residence near Marseilles.

place at court since the mourning for the heir to the
throne. There were 2,400 guests, the whole of whom par-
took of a sit-down supper. Before the ball there was a
presentation to the Empress of many ladies, and also of a
number of deputations which had arrived from the interior
expressly to felicitate their Majesties on the 25th anniver-
sary of their marriage. Kommissaroff was also present,
and conducted himself with perfect propriety. He evi-
dently possesses much tact, and his appearance sad de-

WORSHIP-STREET.
EARLY CHIN&
Hann Potato and George Green, 14 and 11 years of
ge, were charged with complicity in a robbery.
Green was in the employ of a tradesman named Burnell,
in Commereislntreet, Whiteethapel, as an errand boy.
Two eights since his master heard him say to Powis, who
es, without the shop, " Shall 'I give you up those things
now r The other appointed the following night and
msparion being excited, the police were oommu with.
Doughty , a plain-clothes constable of the H Division,
said that last night he was watching outside the prosecu-
te, Mop, and saw Green bring out a parcel, which he
handsel to Powis. He took both boys into custody.
Prosecutor identified the contents as his property. It
was wearing apparel. Snowing Green's parents to be
hardworking and deserving persons, he had done all in his
power to make the lad honest and serviceable.
Doughty said the boy had stood in the dock of this court
Wore, and narrowly escaped imprisonment ; what had
been stated of the parents was correct. His father was at
his labour, but his mother was present.
Green here began to cry. Fowls turned and sharply re.
bitted him, and the mother came into court, and on per-
ceiving her boy fainted, and was carried out.
moth prisoners were then remanded.
Alma Haggett, apparently about 14, was charged with
robbing her master.
This prisoner had been but a short time in the service of
Mr. Richard Hanford, a grocer, in High-street, Stoke
Newington, and pilfered something of all kinds, from loaf
auger to jewellery:—among the latter, a gold chain, valued
as agift to her mistress. When promised forgiveness, if
she would state what she had done with it, she declared
that she had thrown it down the closet.
Prisoner's father said that she was the eldest of seven
children surviving out of twelve, and he could not account
for her dishonesty. The old man's eyes were reddened and
swollen with weeping, but the girl did not appear to feel
regret or shame, and was remanded.
WANDSWORTH.
WHITAKER IN THE CATTLE PLAGUE ORDERS.
Mr. Drtrid Gilbert, of the Grange, Dulwich, was sum-
moned for causing two cows to be removed along a highway
within the metropolis for more than 500 yards, in contra-
vention of an Order in Council, dated the 24th of March
last G. orge Godfrey was also summoned for removing
the cows.
The defendants pleaded not guilty.
Police-constable M`Kewn, 112 V said that on Friday,
the 27th nit., he saw Godfrey drivint the cows through
Tooting Broadway, and on stopping im he produced a
license, granted by a county magistrate, for their removal
from Chertsey to Dulwich.
Mr. Ingham read the license, which described the route
along which the cows were to be removed, and among the
places mentioned was Tooting. The magistrate remarked
that the county justice hail no right to grant a license for
the removal of cattle within the metropolis.
Inspector Usher said that was the cam. The cows were
stopped within the area of the metropolis, and the de-
fendant was cautioned before he drove them over the line
of its boundary.
Mr. Ingham said the defendant was a toofaithful servant.
Mr. Gilbert said he considered the county magistrate to
blame, for he (the defendant) took a great deal of pains
to obtain a regular order. The magistrate told him he
bad no doubt the license would be inspected by the vigi-
lant members of the police force, but that he did not
expect any obstacle in the removal of the cows.
Mr. Ingham said he could not pass the case over entirely,
as the defendants had not been strictly legal. He fined
them each Is., and 2s. costs.
Mr. Frederick Palmer, a butcher, of Larkhalldane,
Clapham, and his driver, George Martin, were also sum-
mated.
In this case there was only one cow. A proper license
had been obtained from the Commissioners of Police, but
the cow was removed after it had expired.
Palmer said the license was obtained by the person from
whom he bought the cow.
Mr. Ingham fined each of the defendants 2s. &I. and
costs. He told Palmer that he would have to recover
from the person who gave him the license.
