EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY Evalrma.

The Emperor of Austria's visit to Paris, though
still looked for before the end of October, is spoken
of as if it had not been quite decided upon. Their
Austrian Majesties leave Vienna next week to stay
at their chateau in Hungary " for some time ;" and
the France says they will not "in any case" come
to Paris till after this visit.

Some despatches say that Prim, who escaped
from Valencia after the failure of the Spanish
insurrection, is in Genoa ; others that he is in
Geneva. The France, without being able to say
in what precise spot, affirms that he is somewhere
in Switzerland. There is a report, probably set
about by a wag, that Prim is going to meet Gari-
baldi at the Geneva " Peace Congress."
The Reath of Dr. Veron was prematurely re-
ported. This evening's Mon;teur says ho is alive,
but passed a very bad night, and there was no
improvement in his state this morning.
They, and their name is legion, who complain of
the partiality of the French jurymen in awarding
the prizes of the Exhibition in the Champs de
Mars, may perhaps find some cons-dation in reading
a passage from a speech just made by M. do
Forcade La Roquette, the Minister of Commerce, at
a dinner given him by the Chamber of Commerce,
at Bordeaux. With a view to commend to his
hearers the Emperor's free trade policy, which, it
must be admitted, the majority of French manu-
facturers are not yet reconciled to, the minister
said :—" Manufactures and trade are no doubt in
a difficult position at present ; but I am confident
this situation will be but transitory, and I think
with you it is quite a mistake to attribute the ex.
isting depression to recent reforms of the tariff and
commercial treaties. Our industry is placed under
new conditions ; but the truly remarkable success
obtained by French products at the Universal Ex-
hibition shows that foreign competition has ceased
to be a serious danger, and has now become a useful
stimulus." As to commercial confidence generally,
it is ridiculous to suppose it can be restored by any
measures M. Rouher can take, unless it were a
large reduction in the army, which is not upon the
cards.

The Bourse opened heavily at Saturday's quota-
tions, but became very firm before the close. Bente
rose 20c. for cash and account, closing at 69fr. 950.
and 69fr. 90c. All other securities left off with an
improvement. Italian rose 40c. ; Credit Fonder,
12fr. 50c. ; Comptoir d'Escompte, 15fr. ; and MO-
biller, 16fr. 25c. The monthly accounts of the
Mobilior, however, show an aggravation of the
state of things which has been hitherto accounted
bad. There is a considerable augmentation in the
" advances to companies" which diminish the
available resources of the society, and payments to
creditors have required large realisations of securi-
ties in their portfolio.

The following paragraph in the &Nation (a very
adventurous paper, by the way), may possibly ac-
count for the rise at to-day's Bourse of the Credit
Mobilier, which to many is a puzzle :
We are assured that on Tuesday or Thursday next the
heads of three or four of the oldest banking houses,
the Syndic and two members of the Chamber of Stock-
brokers, and the governors of the Bank and Credit
Fonder, will meet BL limber at the Ministry of Finance
to give their opinion on the present crisis, and as to the best
means to restore some activity to trade and "speculation."
11. neither intends to impart to these gentlemen certain
measures ad line which seem to him efficacious, and which
he is disposed to adopt if approved of by the special com-
mittee.

If anything comes of this extraordinary meeting
there is reason to fear it will only bn a short post-
ponement of a catastrophe which must come, and
a further appeal to the gullibility of the public.
Nothing is more certain than the rottenness of
certain gigantic establishments which germinated in
the artificial atraosphere of the early days of the
empire.

Ex-Governor Eyro is at present staying at Dover,
and has been feted by the officers of the 51st Regiment,
now quartered in the garrison.
