EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

THE EMPEROR'S DEPARTURE.
(110* 0171 OWI 0011111,011112.)

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Emperor left the Tuileries at half-past five I
this afternoon. His Majesty, who was dressed in a
general's uniform, with a kepi on his head, appeared
in a carriage with the Empress by his side. Her
Majesty acoompanies ;the Emperor as far as Monte-
rein, where the imperial train will stop for dinner.
She will return to Paris by a special train at half-
past eight this evening. The Prince Napoleon goes
on to Italy with the Emperor. The Rue de Rivoli,
along which the Emperor went to the Lyons Rail-
way, was crowded in every put, and there was a
good deal of cheering. The Cent Gerdes do not
leave till Thursday.
Chevet left Paris at eight this morning for Mon-
tercels, in order to prepare the imperial banquet,
which is ordered by half-put seven.
The farewell mass was celebrated, as announoed,
in the chapel at the Tuileries, at noon to-lay. The
public were not admitted ; in fact, the chapel is
barely large enough to contain all the official per-
sonages who were present.
It is stated that the Archbishop of Paris is pre-
paring an answer to the war manifesto of the Arch-
bishop of Vienna. . . . .

Tit; Bourse Irma again very weak, with little busi-
ness doing. Ths Route fell 10c. for cash and 13c.
far account, closing at 601 r. 80.3. end 60ft. 70c.
Mobilier left off without change. A few of the
railways were 2fr. or 3fr. higher. It is given out
that the subscription to the loan already amounts to
1,100 millions—more than double the sum required.
There must bs some news in London which it is
wished to conceal from the French public ; all the
seeping papers were seized to-day. I have not heard
the reason.

The " Question Romaine" of Edmoat About
(from the translation of which you gave some ex-
tracts in a recent number) hu had the narrowest
possible escape of being strangled in its birth as far
as regards this country. For many days the ques-
tion of its admission has been under discussion by
the authorities,, the heavy artillery of the clergy
and the small arms of a section of the council being
directed against it with terrific and almost over-
whelming force. The key note of the opposition
party was that the perpetuation of the temporal
power of the Pope is essential to the existence of
Francs. It was not till yesterday that the council
decided in favour of the appearance of the beak, and
this result was only brought about by the personal
intervention of the Emperor.
