PARIS, WIDNESDLY
I am enured that the Emperor and Empress will
return on Monday next to Sr. Cloud.
As regards Neapolitan affairs, it is believed hero
that nothing is yet decided with respect to the send
log of the fleets. There are vague rumours of steps
having been taken by Austria at Paris in favour
of the King of Naples. Amongst other things it
affirmed that M. de Hubner, who was to have re.
turned from Naples to Paris, proceeded yester-
day to Biarritz. Ido not know this to be true, but I
have it from a good source. In any ease it
demonstration at Naples ought not to be considered
a very serious matter. At the utmost it
will only serve to show the Italians that the Emperor
of the French sympathises with them. As to the
departure of the fleets, it certainly will not take place
before a reply has been received from the King of
Naples, and this cannot be done for some time, his
Neapolitan Majesty having always in similar cue'
taken much time for reflection. Lord Clarendon de.
=tided of the French government that it should send
its ships at once; but it appears that his lordship ham
met with a refusal, and is contented to fall in with
the views of Franc?. In this there is nothing
surprising; for Lord Clarendon, who is con-
stantly pervaded by a sense of the necessity of
the Anglo-French alliance, makes daily aunt.
floes to it of English liberal policy. Boma
times, indeed, he revolts, but it appear/
that his energy is not great enough to break an
alliance of which England has been incessantly the
dupe for nearly two year, England sacrifices her
men and her money—and why? In order to ad-
vance everywhere Louis Napoleon and his policy.
and to destroy with her own hands the influence and
I authority which she possessed before the war. The
statesmen of England know this very well; but it
lr would appear that men utter the truth at Paris when
they say Lord Palmerston is an old simpleton, and
Lord Clarendon the instrument of imperial policy.
The Idoniteur de la Flotte publishes the returns of
r the casualties experienced by the French Imperial
' navy during the expeditions to the Crimes, the Baltic,
and Petropaulovski in 18.54, 1855, and 1836. The
ships' crews lost 11 officers and 144 men killed by
the enemy's fire, and 39 officers and 3,237 men who
died of their wounds or from sickness—in all 50 offi-
cers and 3,381 men ; the naval artillery corps had 2
officers and 31 non commissioned officers and

soldiers killed, and 3 officers and 231 noa•commis.

THE EMPERORS OF FRANCE AND RUSSIA,

In the Austrian Gazette mention is made of a
contemplated interview of the Emperors of France
and Rues* to take place at litoe, in the course of
the next year.

THE GRAND IMPERIAL BALL AT MOSCOW.

—.—
In reference to this event, so graphically described
by our special correspondent, a Paris journal contains
the following:
The grand ball given on the 14:h by the Emperor A's*.
ander was remarkable in this respect, that the ball bilks(
plasm on a Sunday, the English ladies were not present,
with the ezeeption of Lady Granville, wto is a Catholic.
' After the polonaise de rigneur, ith which the ball commenced
the Imperial family having passed into the saloon of Saint
Alexander, a country dance was immediately formed there.
The reigning empress danced with ti e Count de Monty.
After Olio, country dames, waltzes, and polkas, succeeded
each other uninterruptedly. This time i: was a real ball,
and evsry one danced vigorous 4; the imperial family,
and .spatially the Grand Dukes Michael and Nioholse,
setting the example.

SPAIN.

(PAWL ♦ SPECIAL OOREESPONDENT.)
The journals are exclusively occupied with the
discussion of the question of the sale of church pro-
perty. I have so often mentioned this subject that
I now purposely refrain from giving any more de-
tails. You know that in consequence of what has
been done in this matter the Bourse wu seriously
affected. People were beginning to recover from
their fright. when came the news of the
arrest at Saragossa of the forgers of the
scrip of the 230,000,000 loan, which caused a univer•
sal panic. The false documents are so well fabri•
cated that it is almost impossible to detect the
forgery. It is said, moreover, that there is in cir-
culation scrip to the amount of nearly 100,000
dollars. I may add that amosgst those who have
been arrested is one of the chiefs of the Carlist
party.
In Biscay the appeal mule to the rich proprietors
has been nobly responded to. One of them hu alone
subscribed 100,000 realm. The provision granaries
will, therefore, soon be well
The cholera does not make such ravages u it has
done, either in the Asturias or in the neighbourhood
of Madrid.
From Catalonia it is announced that the operatives
hate reconstituted themselves into societies for

mutual assistance, under rules peeseribed by the
aptain•general.

The only political news which supplies food for
gossip in the saloons, is the resignation of the Mar-
quis of Monate, member of the Supreme Tribunal
of Justice, and the re•openiog of the celebrated
political slob La Mesa Ridooda, which we die-
solved in 1854. Among the reensbers of this dub
are twentyfocr persons, who hare, at ea time or
other, been ministers of state.

The cabinet continues to reward munificently
those who serve it. Another editor of the Epoom
M. Flores, has just received an official appointment,
the salary attached to his new oleos being 30,000
reale.

LISBON, Sari. 19.
The young King completed his nineteenth year
on the 16th inst. The event wee celebrated at comet
by a levee, and popularly by fireworks and illtimina-
tins.

On the morning of the IGth instant the Doke of
Wellington, carrying the flag of Rear-Admiral
Dundee, along with the Conqueror, and the gun-
boats Osprey and Waoderer, appeared off the bu
steering south. They despatched one of the small
steamers to Belem, to inquire whether coaling at
Lisbon would subject them to q tine at Cadiz
and Oibraltar, and on hearing that it would, they
stood to the southward without entering the Tagus.
The following day the Cressy made her appearance,
and came up the river as tar as the Packet-stairs, in
quiet of the admiral; bat learning how matters
stood, no eommuoicution was allowed with the shore,
and she sailed again before evening.
The contradiction given in two leading London
journals, of the assertion in the Ders7y Miens that oar
minister had written for vessels of war, is an squivc •
cation, for Mr. Howard undoubtedly did write by the
Minbo on the 14th ult. This fact, however, is not a
statement that the Portuguese government had
asked for &squadron," although it is highly probable
they were consulted on the subject.
By the orders of the Board of Health, several
Brazilian traders have been submerged at Oporto, on
account of their being supposed to be infected with
yellow fever.
The cholera appears to be rapidly declining.
During the last ten days there have occurred 88 cuss
and 40 deaths.
On the Hing's birthday, a train with 200 puma-
germ made the journey along the completed portion
of the Santarem Railway without accident or hin-
drance. The day for the formal opening by the King
has, however, been postponed.
