EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OW CORREsPONDEEIT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVWNG.

The Pattie suggests that M. Rouher, in the con-
versation represented by M. Nigra as admitting the
idea of a joint occupation of Rome, merely meant
to say, " If you sincerely wish to see the conven-
tion executed, come and join us in firing upon
Garibaldi." A more authentic explanation than
this of the difference between the two governments
disclosed by the Italian Green-book can scarcely
fail to be made.

The Presse this evening in ono column represents
the news of a probable diplomatic rupture between
France and Italy ; and in another, without at-
tempting to explain the contradiction, says that
Chevalier Nigro, will be replaced by M. Visconti
Veneta. It thinks that M. Nigra will be removed,
not to London, but Berlin.
It is asserted that a diplomatic conference will
be held this evening at the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to talk over the Roman question with the
Marquis do Moustier, and that tho Pope's Nuncio
and the Austrian, English, Prussian, and Russian
Ambassadors have promised to attend. The talk
will, of course, lead to nothing except perhaps to
an admission by the French government that
" the conference" for business, which it has
hitherto professed to believe in, is impossible.
The liberal press in Paris is determined to op-
pose M. Thiers's re-election, and I think it most
unlikely that he will again sit in the Corps Legis-
latif for a Paris constituency. Hu was elected last
time not by Orleanists, legitimists, or clericals, but
by the democratic opposition, who took him up be-
cause he was an effective debater likely to damage
the government. It cannot be said that he has not
p'rformed his mission, but his speech in favour of
the temporal power will not be forgiven by his
former supporters. If Paris will not have him, I
cannot think of any other set of electors who will,
unless he can arrange to come in as a government
candidate. Then, indeed, his return would be
easy.

" Advice' from Brussels," says the France,
" state that the condition of the Empress Charlotte con-
tinues to improve. She goes out every day, when the
weather permits, for a long drive or a walk. She visits
their Majesties regularly twice a week at Brussels, and the
rest of her time is divided between music and painting, for
which latter art she has a great aptitude. The Queen, bee
sister-in-law, does not allow a day to pass without going to
see her, and she receives frequent visits from the King and
the Count and Countess de Flandre."
