EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PEON OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The interpellations are to be all burked. Yes-
terday when the Marquis de Moustier read the
imperial message of 20 lines to the Senate, Pre-
sident Troplong, who enjoys the reputation of being
a wonderfully wise man, struck the governmental
key-note in the following words of wisdom :
" France has confidence in the Emperor, and knows
that in his hands her interests cannot be com-
promised." This was tolerably audacious after the
Mexican muddle, and the German miscalculation ;
and now that France, by trusting her interests to
the Emperor exclusively, has been brought within
a hair's breadth of the greatest war of this
century. M. Troplong would not allow the
text of the interpellations which some senators
proposed to make to be read in the Senate,
although M. Schneider, in the Corps Legislatif,
following a precedent made (reluctantly, it is true)
by Count Walewski, patiently heard three sets. The
senators who signed the interpellations on the
Luxemburg question were MM. Leverrier, Hubert
Delisle, La Gueronniere, Bremer, and Bonjean.
To-day the government gave the bureaux both in
the Senate and Corps Legislatif to understand
that it did not wish its negotiations to be
embarrassed by any parliamentary debates. Ac-
cordingly the Senate's bureaux were about to re-
ject the application, but were saved the trouble by
the complaisant withdrawal by the five inquisitive
senators of their impertinent inquiries. In the
Corps Legislatif the interpellations of the conser-
vatives and the tiers porti are withdrawn, but M.
Jules Fevre and his friends persist, and will put
the bureaux to a division. Even M. Emile 011ivier
said that the Marquis de Moustier's short and vague
communication would not reassure the country.
The Presse—more a government journal than any-
thing else—says this evening that " it is calculated
to irritate rather than satisfy public curiosity." The
Liberte characterises the Marquis de Moustier's
lines as " audaciously timid and empty in their
grandiloquence." The Patric, indeed, has the
hardihood to say that they hare '° enlightened and
reassured the country," and that " men's minds
are now calm." This was not the opinion of the
Bourse, for the Rento sustained a fall of 20c. both
for cash and account, and the closing quotation,
66fr. 75c., is the lowest official one since the panic.
There is to be no attempt to summon a congress
or conference to examine the treaties of 1839. The
Emperor knows the powers would not come. It is,
I believe, intended to inquire of them separately
by a diplomatic note-1. Whether the King of
Holland has a right to cede the Duchy of Luxem-
burg; and 2. Whether Prussia, after the aggran-
disement she obtained as the result of the late
, war, has a right to continue to garrison the fortress
of Luxemburg. It may, I think, be safely pre-
dicted that none of the powers will give a direct
answer to these questions—and, if so, the expe-
dient is merely one for gaining time.

The Liberty and Avenir National announce this
evening that the Minister of the Interior has with
drawn the authorisation which they had to be sold
in the public streets. This a miserable act of petty
vengeance indeed. It will make a great deal of
difference to the Liberty, whose sale on the Boule-
vards has lately been immense.
Only the day before yesterday the semi-official
journals said the rumour that the Duke de Gram-
mont, French Ambassador at Vienna, had been
sent for to Paris was a piece of false news invented
by alarmists. The same journals are now com-
pelled to register the official intelligence that the
Duke de Grammont leaves Vienna for Paris this
day.
Three delegates from the English tailors lately
arrived in Paris to confer with the French com-
mittee acting for the men on strike. As they were
obliged to return to England immediately, their
Parisian confreres proposed to give them a grand
banquet, but the police authorities have refused
permission. The 8,0001. said to have been sub-
scribed by the London tailors for their Paris
brethren has not yet arrived, and serious fears
are entertained that it never will. The strike is
still going on. The journeymen were deaf to the
appeal of their comrade, M. Sourd ; bet another
general meeting is to be held on Thursday.

The Journalde Brte!lts attributes the following
words to Marshal Niel, Minister of War :—" Let
me know the day when the Emperor Napoleon
wishes to have five hundred thousand men on the
eastern frontier, and they shall be there."

WHITEHALL, APRIL B.—The Queen has been

THE COBDEN STATUS AT MANCHESTER.—Mr.
Gladstone is unable to attend the inauguration of this
statue, which is fixed for Easter Monday, in consequence
of having to go to Paris in connection with the Exhi-
bition. The inauguration will therefore be conducted by
Mr. George Wilson, forruetly chairman of the Anti-Corn-
law League.
THE BELGIAN VOLUNTEER RECEPTION.—II is
understood that the fund intended to be raised for the
suitable reception of the Belgians, who treated our volun-
teers in such a princely manner but year at Brussels, falls
far short of the necessary amount, inasmuch as up to the
present time only shout 1001. has been subscribed. Lord
Bury, the chairman, Lieutenant-Colonel Maltby and
Captain Cockcroft, the honorary secretaries, and Captain
Mackenzie, the honorary treasurer, are exerting every
effort to raise the necessary funds, but at present with but
indifferent success. The public as well as the Volunteers
are raked to come forward liberally, and to transmit their
cheques inimediately to the honorary secretaries, Belgian
Reception Committee, Orderly Room, Somerset House.
THe IMPEACHMENT or PRESIDENT JOHNSON.—
In the course of a debate on the JOth ult. in the House of
Representatives at Washington, on the impeachment of
President Johnson, Mr. Butler declared that the President
had pardoned VICI deserters, in order that they might vote
for a democratic member of Congress from West Virginia.
SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 9. —The Hamburg Ameri-
can Company's steamship Hammonia, Captain Fibers,
arrived this evening. She brings 31 sacks mails. 1.1.000
dots, for France, 500 dela. for Hamburg, and a large cargo ;
also MI passengers for this port, Havre. and Hamburg.
The Hammonia left New York on the 30th ult. ; on the
same day, off Sandy Hook, she spoke the Harnbmg barque
Marietta ; on the 31st a steamer, supposed to be time &w-
-eenie, from Southampton ; on the :Ira, the steamer City of
Dublin ; and on the ith signalled a steamer showing blue-
light rocket, supposed belonging to the Havre line, bound
west.
DESPATCH OF AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON,
APRiL 9.—The North German Lloyd steamer Barmen
sailed to-day for New York, with the English, Fri nch,
and German mails, IZ cabin and a large number of
steerage passengers, and a general cargo, including French
jewellery, $0,500f.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, Tuksrmv.
At the betting rooms on Monday night OM' WO some brisk
speculation on the Biennial, the amount of money for which
D'Eateurnel was' backed Winking Mr. simile's Bolt to the posi-
tion of first favourite. Vauban, who came in for a good deal of
support, left off a point below, but this was only when the mar-
quis of Hastings had accepted LOX to Ouu about D'Estournel
Dragon was backed for the Derby at 1,100 to 100, and several
other horses had friends at the quoted price. The wind con-
tinued very boisterous throughout the night, co that the effects of
the rain on the previous day was not observable on the heath:
on the contrary the dust was driven in blinding storms
across the heath, rendering It particularly uncomfortable.
The going wad all that could be desired. and but for
the wind and dust the day would have thoroughly
enjoyable. The company preeent exceeded that of the previous
day, notwithstanding the disastrous time tne backers had of it,
and the programme presented a very full appearance, bringing
together very decent fields. Owing to one of the matches set for
the day falling through, racing did not eurnisen. till had an
hour after the time fixed, when it opened with the match be-
tween the Duke of Newcastle's Novice and Lord Westmoriand's
Wiese of a Dore filly, which resulted in favour of the latter. The
only remarkable feature about this affair was, that Kenyon
scored a victory, which is getting quite a rare thing for him to do
new, as the backers of his mounts tan testify, who have had a
meet heartbreaking time of It lately. The sweepstakes of 50 seos.
for 21r-olds brought out a round dozen of yowl:veers, and
the winner turned up in the Duke of Hamilton's unsafe, who
started lint favourite at to 1, and took up the running imme-
diately the flag fell, and, never being approached, won In a cone
anon canter by three length+. She u a chestnut filly by New-
minister out of Gaapard's dam by Hampton, and from her mag-
nificent shape, as well as from her performance, is very likely to
turn out the Achievement of her year. Ihe Duchess, another of
the speedy progeny of rat. Albans, cut down a couple of oppo-
'weft in the succeeding race, which was followed by a Sweep-
stakes of SO mom , where Berea Rothschild's mad filly
Hippie found no &Meetly in disposing of the pair
opposed to her. Then came the race of the day,
the Ninth Biennial, producing fifteen meepetlions, amongst
whom were some whose performance was fraught with muck
future interest, as it involved the fate of more than cue of the
big rafts to come. D'Estountel steadily kept his position of
favourite up to the start. His hackera woild, no doubt, have
wished his steadiness to have continued further, but he himself
seemed of a differeut opinion, fur he nude such an exhibition of
himself which stamps him a perfect brute, who promises
to let all his friends and adherents law the hole who •
have lacked him for the Derby. Tenn Aldoroft hod
certainly a nice chance of recommencing his career in
the saddle end, with the Beckenham dam's filly.
who bolted out of the court,, and then with this pantomimic
animal. The race, when it amsineneed in earnest, showed but
the three Sensed In it, es all the rest were done for a quarter of
a mile from hoc., Mr. :nineties hone being out of the race as
neon as anything, running unkind!) all the way. The Mii+ll
between Vauban and Wrought.) was ready splendid, and tho
head decision woe fought for Inch by Inch. The Newmarket
Handicap following in the groove of the other Spring events re-
sulted in the veriesd outsider in the betting winning anyhow.
Such a seaaon of reverses to lockers, and floaters" to pro-
phets, has surely..ncj.er been Immanuel what will become of both of
these ill-used ci et the sporting community if their lad luck
continues, is a melancholy conjecture. LOWS, however, should
have been backed from the report of his having beaten Quick
Much In a trial previous to Northampton, as also from his im-
proved running on tine first day . but the - talent" were all
mad after Apaley, who got no nearer than third. The only other
event deserving of notice in the Baleen Stakes, and that only
from the ridiculous ease with which urimsWn•• walked in" hs
front of the three others who tried to raw with him. Below
will be found a detail of the day's net dings. After the
decision of the Biennial MIDs heavy betting followed on the
Two Thousaud, the chief feature of which was the immense
support award to heth Vauban and Dieu+, who were hacked
for several thousands of pounds. The other transactions will
be sufficiently explained by the table of quotat lOUS appended to
the day's running.
