'EMS FROM PARIS.

(PROP 0171 OWN

PARIS, WZDNESDAS EVININO.
Thr Emperor is expeted at St. Cloud from Pion).
Merge at 7 o'clock this evening. An unusual and
as far as I know, unaccountable, mystery surrounds
his movements at present. Toe Pattie announces
that he is to return to-night from the Chalons
eussir, suppressing the fact of his visit to
Plombitree ; and the Moniteur, which, when
his Majesty travels is generally in the habit
of publishing a succession of telegrams to record the
exact hour of his arrival at various stations, has not
so much as mentioned his departure from St. Cloud
for Chalons. These are trifles to which I attach no
importance, but any manifest departure from usage
ia such matters naturally provokes inqui-
ries. The object of his Majesty's hasty run
to Plombieres is stated to be to examine the progress
of various works which he ordered when be was
last there, each as improvements in the thermal
establishment, the opening of new roads, the erec-
tion of an hospital and a school, &o. The Chalons
camp is to be kept ap till September, and the force
is to be increased by at least a couple of additional
regimeots.

M. Grapier de Cassagnac, who—in spite of the
assertions of a Belgian journal that he " now " only
expresses his own individual opinions, is you may be
quite oars the preeminent official writer of the
moment—continua the series of dashing articles
which he has lately beenordered to write. He has one
in thisevening's Pays on " The French Army," which
as a glorification of the gallant troops whom all Paris
is preparing to admire and applaud on Sunday next
la very apropos, and would be quite unobjectionable,
but for three or four lines which I am about to cite,
and for the sake of which, I cannot help suspecting,
the whole article hem been written. M. de Cos-
sagnar, who seldom misses an opportunity to show
his erudition, which is confessedly great, shows that
from the earliest times the Gauls were the first
soldiers in the world. Hannibal never could take
Rome, but the Gaels did, and the ROM/1U always
regarded the Gauls as their most formidable ene-
mies, and were generally driven to ap-
point a dictator when they made war with
them. Two centuries before Cesar, Polybins
found the Goals the same hardy warriors
which the great author of the Commentaries
described. The modern Gauls, keeping up the tra-
ditions of their ancestors, are at this day simply the
best soldiers of the world in every possible point of
view, and " when once the service of maritime
transports shall be completed, and a corps d'armee
may be thrown on the sudden (it r insproviste) on any
given point of an enemy's oosst,the enemies of Francs
or those who are jealous of her power will think
twice before they provoke her." The article con-
cludes, in the same war-breathing strain, by the
reflection that it is quite in vain for other powers to
attempt to counterbalance the strength of the
French army, and more especially now that it has
at its head "a Sovereign who knows how to gain
great baules."

- The Bourse has again been depraved, and specu-
lators for the rise despair of keeping the Rents at
70fr. as a normal figure. It closed at 69fr. 45c. for
caah and 69fr. 60e. for account, with a fall of 26e.
and 30c. Mobilier fell tifr. 75c. In railways there
was scarcely any business doing. The quotations,
for the most put merely Nominal, were about 2fr.
50c. lower than yesterday.
The probable consequences of the appointment of
two assessors to every agent de change were much
consumed. The details of the measure supposed to
be forthcoming on this subject are not known, but
it is believed to consist simply in an authorisation
to the brokers, on a proportionate augmentation of
their caution money, to appoint two clerks who
must be approved of by the syadicate to act for
them and on their responsibility.
