FRANCE.

PARIS, TIIIIIIDLT E,w,..

The Emperor came to Paris yesterday from St.
Cloud in au open earriage and four, with postillions,
proceeding along the Champs-Elyges, the Naos de
la Concorde, and the Quai, to the Tuileries. His
Majesty, soon after his arrival, went into the garden
to examine the works in progress there, and returned
about five to St. Cloud.

A grand banquet was given at Marseilles last even-
ing to M. de Leesepa. Four hundred persons were
present at it, and that gentleman announced that
the works of cutting through the Isthmus of Suez
" would commence in three months."

Prince Napoleon three days ago gave a grand
dinner, at which several dishes were Chinese ; some
of the wine drunk was from Siam (hiving been sent
by one of the Kings of that oountry to His Imperial
Highness), and one of the guests was a Chinese
mandarin. Among the dishes were swallows' nests,
cooked in the Nankin mods ; fins of a shark fried ;
olothuries d la mandarins : the interior of a sturgeon
toetogewaire, au: remelts. de bambou ; olothuries
in salad, with pheasant jelly ; rice des iminortas
fowl with Japanese curry ; spinage with balkhao,
which was much esteemed at Rome under Augustus ;
rice in Chinese fashion, ordinary India curry, &c.
M. Nader, the photographist, made, as announced,
an ascent in the balloon of the Hippodrome, on Sun-
day, but, shortly after the departure, having entered
a thick cloud, he was Linable to execute his project
of taking with his instruments views of the earth.
He intends consequently to make an ascent on some
other day, when the state of the atmosphere shall
be favourable for photographic operations.
"We have already mentioned," says Goligriasi,
"that the church of Scotland had decided on esta-
blishing a regular service in Paris. That intention
has now been carried out, and we have no doubt the
numerous British and American visitors of the
presbyterial' persamion will receive the intelligence
with much satisfaction. Aooordiog to present ar-
irangements, Principal Tolloch, of St. Andrews, will
officiate during a great part of the year, and the
Scottish church are from time to time to send over
some of their best preachers. Principal Tnlloch is
the same gentleman whose talents, a short time ago,
attracted the attention of government, who, besides
making him principal, conferred on him the theolo-
gical chair of St. Mary's College. The Scottish
church liberally pay the expense until such times as
a congregation can be formed on its own basis ander
the Consular Act. Dr. Moffatt, honorary secretary
in Paris, writes favourably to the oommittee in
Edinburgh as to the progress made."
