EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(ROY OM OWN 0011tZIPONDI1T.)
PARIS, WIDNESDAY EVZIONO.
It is a hopeless task to attempt to get at the
truth about the evacuation of Italy by the French
armies. Nothing has been said for • long while
about General de Goyon coming away from Rome,
which event was some time back announced as im-
minent by the Constitutionnel with much solemnity.
Of late rumours have been current that the retire-
ment of Marshal Vaillant's army from Lombardy
Was delayed or only to be in part effected ; but the
the Parris says, to-night :

A Mika ;avoid SMIZIOUDOOS that in oonsequence of recent
arrangernsiate with France the division of Generals Ante.
mann, Uhrich, and Boarbski are to remain in Lombardy.
This sows is wanting in exaotitude. Ulirich's division is
afraid, on the march and Bourbati's will commence lie
movement on the 12th. Al to Autemarre's division, it is
passible that in consequence of arrangements made it may
be the last to leave ; but this fact in no way indicates that
the evacuation is suspended. The departure of our troops
continues, sad the evacuation is subjected to no other con-
dition than that of the time necessary to effect such a
measure.

K Prevost Paradol, who I prestuno must have
quitted the Debate, signs a leading article in this
evening's Preaw. lam sorry to say that he begins
his new editorial career by maintaining that the
neutrality of Switzerland is in no way affected by
the proposed annexation to France of Chablais and
Fauciguy.
K Ravin, of the Sidcle, feels a necessity laid
upon him, as " a citizen and the director of a jour-
nal read by a million of Frenchmen," to offer the
French government a word of advice with regard
to Italy. If France countenances a reaction, and
thus throws difficulties in the way of the consolida-
tion of Victor Emmanuers new kingdom, which
her arms have helped to form, she will incur a
responsibility which she will one day regret. It is
against General Lamoriciere's appointment at
Rome that the observations of the Sidcle are
particularly pointed. It says :

If the PonUtica troops sad the Swiss regiments,
commanded by • French officer whose conduct we
blame, but whose merit we have always admitted,
were to give battle to the Realm/nols, the French
government, having authorised him to take the command,
would never accept • responsibility with which it would ow
day be reproached. It is not • general—it is not paid sol-
diers whom the Pope requires to preserve his authority ; it
is • change of policy—a change of institutions ; and to
that he must one day or the other consent if he would pre-
serve a shred of the temporal power so dear to our lords
the cardinals. What ought the government to do! Re-
fuse to General de Immoriciere the authorisation to serve •
foreign power ; and leave our troop■ at Rome until all the
problems still contained in the Italian question shall be
solved.

M. Havin's advice comes too late. We learn
by telegraph this very day that General de Lamori-
ciere is actually gazetted to the command of the
Pope's army, and there can he no doubt, as I told
you from the first, that the Emperor is a consent-
ing party to the arrangement.
The Bourse unproved upon the strength of a
rumour that the Swiss question was entirely
arranged. The Rente rose 25c. for cash and 30c.
for account, closing at 70fr. 150. and 70fr. 20c.
Mobil ler rose Sir. 75c. Railways were from
lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. higher.
The Prase says in its weekly commercial review :

The official journal noticed • few days since that there
was more business doing in exports ; and it is quite true
that many agents for English houses have made purchases
of and given orders for goods, which are, by virtue of the
commercial treaty, admitted into England duty free. We
may particularly instance certain descriptions of gloves,
jewellery, bronzes, porcelains, and tissues, consignments of
which are now sent off daily to England. Considerable
purchases of wins and brandy for foreign consumption have
been made in the south, and must have materially contri-
buted to swell the railway receipta. It is to be regretted
that the changes in the tariff could not have been
brought into operation without any delay ; the ex-
ample of the favourable results produced in England
by the immediate execution of the treaty should stimulate
our government to take its final decisions with all diligence,
for what trade most complains of is that must of the great
questions yet remain unsealed. The ironmasters in the
Haute Marne are at this moment signing ► petition to the
Emperor, praying that their position may be regulated as
soon sa possible. The paper manufacturers are getting up
a new petition against the exportation of raga. The fine
weather of the past week has had • beneficial effect upon
the retail trade of Perim ; the noureautie shops,
especially, have been doing a good business in
summer tissues. Advice. from Mulhouse, Rouen, and
Lye= anuounos increased activity among manufacturers,
considerable orders having been received both for plain and
fancy goods. There is little doing in cereals. The wine
trade is active, with an upward tendency. The announce-
ment in the budget of a tax npua alcohols has produced •
great seniation in all the markets of the South. The wool
trade, which was stagnant in February and during the
greater part of March, has become more active within this
fortnight. We bear from Havre that wools are in de-
mand, more particularly those at La Plata.

spiM. Bethmont, the eminent advocate, who has
died, has bequeathed 5,000 fr. to the General Arocia-
iio.l of Physicians of Prance.

A Vienna letter of April 7, published in Bullices
Corravendosec, says :—" There is much talk here cd an
approaching visit of the Emperor of Austria to the Queen
of Paglawd. I cannot venture to warrant the truth of this
sews, but, at the same time, I would not have you reject it
lightly. The cabinet of Vienna is leaving no means untried
to draw closer to the cabinet of St. James's, and the latter
dew not wens altogether indifferent to the advances made."

One or two of the persons implicated in the
Oartiet affair are nearly related to the Moatijo family. What
is arr and dear to Madrid mart be Indifferent to Paris.
A manage wee sent off cm Sunday or Monday last to
Madrid, requesting Queen Isabella to spare the lives of the
favoured parties. Queen Isabella is said to hare replied,
that those who made this request appeared to forget
that she was a constitutional sovereign ; that she could
not take upon herself to remit, any more than to indict,
punishment, without the advice of her responsible minis-
ters ; and, moreover, that the parties arrested could not
be considered as criminals until they were tried and con.
cleared by the proper tribunals.
