EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, !mar Everlra.
It is, I believe, certain that M. Emile 011iyier
,will make a set speech in support of the amendment
of the 35 (swelled by to to 42) calling
Ifor liberal reforms. The regular opposition will
veto with the tiers parti on tins occasion,
'add a formidable minority may be expected, whose
demonstration (with 1869 looming in the future)
the government can scarcely fail to take into seri-
ous consideration. There are rumours, which seem
probable, that the Emperor already regrets the
reactionary tone of his speech on home affairs, and
has daily discussions with the reactionary advises
by whom he is surrounded. Foremost among these
is the Duke de Persigny, who, it is said, thinks of
doing his master the bad service of making a speech
in the Senate in answer to K Thiera.
The conferenee on the Danubian Principalities is
to open on Monday at theldinistry of Foreign Affairs.
All the plenipotentiaries of the protecting powers axe
now in Paris, except M. de Budberg, who is
shortly expected from St. Petersburg, and will be
represented on Monday by the first secretary of his
embassy.
The Bourse was tolerably fain to-say, bat
without any very marked character. Rents rose
70. both for cash and account, closing as
69fr.. 620. and 69fr. 75c. Mobllier fell 6fr. 25c.,
and Credit Fowler, sfr. Deana hell 25c.
