EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. THCILIDAY EVINIXO.

Prince Jerome was atill alive at three o'clock
this afternoon, but his state is most alarming, and
the Emperor and Empress have gone to Villegenis
to see him. It is said in Battier's Correspondence
that the "state of the prince will not prevent the
Emperor's journey to Lyons, but that, in case of
his death, the departure of the court for Fontaine-
bleau will be postponed or perhaps countermanded."
I can hardly think, however, whatever may be
the political importance of the meeting between
the Empress Dowager of Russia and the Emperor,
that his Majesty would go to Lyons to-morrow
morning if his uncle were to die in the course of
the night.
The Courrier de Paris was, I am afraid, mis-
informed when it lately announced that the French
army was really coming away from Rome. The
Nord indeed says only yesterday that the evacua-
tion is decided upon, but that it will not take
place till August, but I look upon that statement
as merely a holding up of the old Jack u' Lantern
which people have ceased to believe in. The CM.
'Witticism! of this morning says, in a tone of
triumph marked by a note of admiration, " The
French army remains in Rome !" And a corre-
spondence from Rome transcribes the following
letter from the Minister of War to General de
Goyon, in which the reasons for their remaining in
possession are given with a judicious brevity which
affords no hold for discussion :
. .

(knout —Political circumstances hare modified the in-
tentions of his ]Majesty. Already. no doubt, you hare
learned so from the Ambassador of France at Home. The

emell,nee is that my letter of the 18th, regulating the
r. tutu f our trop. to Frown, has no longer any object;
torteekrit therefore se not having been written.

Th, Bourse was very heavy throughout the day.
Ncith,r the decidedly pacific speech of M. Fould nor
the anticipation of another more pacific still, which
it is reported the Emperor will pronounce on the
the entry of Bovine's division into
sufficed to counteract the uneasy feeling
which has so long prevailed. Rumours of an in-
surrection in Naples were again rife. The Rente
closed at the lowest prices of the day, 991 r. 3&.
f,,r cash, and fi9fr. 25c. for account, being a fall
of 15e. and 23e. ; Motalier fell Sfr. 75c. All the
railways were about Ur. lower ; Credit Foncier
rew lfr. 25e.

The four liberal deputies of Peri% 011ivier,
.rtl Fevre, Picard, and Darinion, and Dr. Henon,
the member for Lyons, have each given 130 fr. to
the Garibaldi aulbacriptioa.

The H•mifeNr publishes the official monthly re-
turn td the price of wheat in the different markets
of France, by which the export and import duties
on corn and flour are regubited. The highest price
i. rfr. 59c. per hectolitre in that of Saint LI, and
the lowest 181 r. at Marlins. The highest average

Strasburg, and the lowed 19fr. 40a in those of
Meta, Verdun, Charlerille, and Sobsons. The
average for the whole of names is Mfr. 67c., being
