PARIS, Traumas, Immo.
To-day, at one o'clock, the Emcees, went in state
to Notre Dame, to bear a solemn Ti Dews for the
victory of Magenta. The vicar-general, M. Surat,
officiated in the absence of the Cardinal-Archbishop
of Paris, who bas gone to Bourges, to the funeral of
Cardinal Dupont. Just as her Majesty was quitting
the Tuileries a tremendous thunderstorm, with heavy
rain and lila, burst over Paris, and in great measure
dispersed the crowd which lined the streets along
which her Majesty was to pass. A great
many people, however, aided by umbrellas, gal-
lantly stood their ground to the last. Troops
of the line formed la hale on one side
of the read, and the National Gas-d on the
other. The imperial cortege consisted of fifteen
court carriages. Marshal Magnan and General
Lawcestine as commanders of the army of Paris and
of the National Guard, rode on either side of the
Empress's carriage. Her Majesty was accompanied
by Prince Jerome. The Princess Mathilde and the
Princess Clothilde rode together in another a . iage.
Before leaving the cathcdral the Empress beckoned
Marshal Bandon, the Minister of War, to tell b,m
that the Emperor bad created Generals MacMahon
and Regnanit de feint Jean d'Angely, marshals of
France. I hear that General MacMahon, like a
knight banneret of old, wrl elevated to his new
I dignity on the field of battle. He is made a duke
with the title of the Duke of Magenta.
The news that Generals Espinease and Cler were
killed at the battle of Magenta is confirmed. The
body of General Espinuse has been embalmed and will
be brought home to France. Most of the evening
papers say that Marshal Canrobert was wounded, 1
but I have heard this afternoon that the Empress
has contradicted this news. It is confirmed that
General Mac Mahon was wounded, and the Freese
says that General Mellinet, commanding the bit
division of the Gaardr, was wounded seriously. No
news from the theatre of war has been made public
to-day, and considerable surprise is felt at the
delay in announcing the entry of the allies into
Milan. The fact that the municipality of Milan
waited upon the King of Sardinia at head-quarters,
to inform him, in the presence of the Emperor, that
they had proclaimed the annexation of Lombardy
to Sardinia, shows almost conclusively that there
can be nothing to prevent the allies from taking 11
military possession of the capital. There 's a re-
port
that the Emperor entered Milan at 4 this
afternoon.

Yesterday evening the illuminations in Paris were
much more general than on the night before. Flags
were also hung out from many windows. At most
of the theatres, patlotic song., specivlly composed
for the oceesien, were chaunted. It is said that the
chorus of the opera was shut up for six hours to re-
hearse a hymn composed by M. Mery, to music, by
Auber.

The Pays says that a passage in the Emperor's
despatch of June 6 has been misinterpret- d. After
announcing that the Austrians had evacuated Milan
his Majesty said, " we are encumbered with pri-
soners, and have taken 12,000 Austrian muakets."
The latter part of the telegram evidently refers to
the Battle of Magenta, and has nothing whatever
to do with the evacuation of Milan.

The Pays remarks on the news given by one des-
patch that the Austrian troops have merely evacu-
ated the town, and not the castle, of Milan ; that
"the castle is useless as a place of defence, and if
the Austrians have been so imprudent as to remain
there, the only consequence will be that we shell
have some hundreds more prisoners to feed."
Several London evening papers were seized to-
day in consequence of their containing Vienna tele-
grams touching the battle of Magenta which have
been suppressed in France.
The Bonne opened with great animation, and was
exceedingly firm throughout the day. Discounts
were made to a considerable extent. The Rents
rose 60c. for cash and 45c. for account, closing at
63fr. 300. and 63fr. 15c. Mobilier rose 17fr. 50e.
Railways were not quite so strong as the Rents.
The Southern Line rose 15fr. ; Lyons and Western,
7fr. 50e. each ; but Orleans fell sfr. ; and the other
lines only rose lir. or 2fr.
There is a talk of the formation of a camp at St.
Omer.

At the end OT the sitting of the Senate, yesterday
M. Fould, minister of state, was introduced to an-
nounce the close of the session, and the president, M.
Troplong, made the following speech :

Mesesettn.lea Senaterurs—Btfore aooordiog the tribune to
the minister of stets, permit me to address you In a few
weeds which will be my farewell at the close of this most
Important session. The Emperor hes jut inscribed another
mine on the easels of our victories. (Applause.) Already
the greed army and the great captain seem once more to have
sprung up in the load of Italy, where the genius of Napol, on
I. first disclosed itself, and the daring battle of Magenta
cowtitaes at the same time the deliverance of Piedmont, the

establishment of Lombardo-Venetian independence, and the
rout of the foreigner. (Loud marks of approbation.) Let
us applaud, with the whole country, a suocese henceforward
belonging to history. When we again assemble here, the
empire of Napoleon 111., which has saved France, will
probably have afreachised Italy; and Europe will have
witness= the termination of a question which has been •
heavy weight on her for ages. We have, in het, at the
other aide of the Alps, a man, an army, and a noble cense •
and our invincible strength Is employed with moderation,
junior, and humanity. Let us therefore have full confi-
dence in the future, and give each other retdeavoui for
a=ther session, with the cry of " Vire l'Empereur
