RIMERS FROM PARIS.

:' PARIS, THlllll4t pYINIIO.
It I 0: grated that the Mosittur will, in a day or
two, publish a note in reference to the French con-
ference which will confi'm the lately announced
pacific dispositions of the French government.
The abominable Gunman article about the " In-
gratitude of Italy " has excited a feeling of deep
indignation, to which some of the papers give utter-
anoe in that indirect and guarded way which is
alone open to them. The Sleek affects to belies.
that as the article of the Coastistetioneel appeared
word for word in the Pays, of which M. de Cu-
sses° is the political director, it must
have slipped into the former journal by mistake,
they both belonging to the same proprietor.
Unfortunately this very poor joke only serves to
throw into relief the fact that the appearance of the
article simultaneously in the two government papers
adds immensely to its importance us a sinister omen
of the events to come. M. de Cassagnac has not
lately held the government pen in the Comfits-
tioneel. It is quite an event that he should have
superseded ii. A. Renee on this oocaeion. The
Cowries. de Paris demurs to the Caasagnac asser-
tion that France was altogether opposed to the
war in its inception, and adduces, as proof to the
contrary, the enthusiastic adieux of the Parisian
population to the Emperor, when he left to put
himself at the head of the army, which are
recorded in the columns of the Constitse.
Sienna. I believe myself, notwithstanding
all that momentary enthusiasm, that the Congas-
femme' now tells the truth when it says that France
was opposed to the war, but it is certain that its
present veracity lain contradiction with its daily state-
runts two or three months ago. it is, however, very
galling to the French people, who after lamenting
the war on account of its certain calamities and un-
certain results lent themselves to it out of a natural
feeling of sympathy for the heroic army, and because
of promises that liberated Italy would be for ever
grateful to France, to be now told that they ought
to be only too delighted at the restoration of peace,
although it is plainer and plainer every day that the
alleged objects of the war are not attained.

"It is 'listed positively," says the Independence
of Brume*" that the French government has de-
finitively resolved to employ in works of public
utility the 160 millions which remain unexpended of
the loan of 600 millions. Such a decision would
naturally be regarded as a marked symptom of the
security of peace."
_ .

It is to be remarked upon this paragraph that
the Corp. Legislatif, when it voted the 600
millions, swotted its right to protect the publio
purse, by insisting upon the extraordinary
proviso that if there should remain any
surplus beyond the requirements of the Italian
war the chamber should be consulted as to the
disposition of that surplus. The compliance of the
French legislature is so well known that the ex-
ecutive power may nay safely speak of its inten-
tions without reference to the formality of a vote,
which it knows will not be refused. Nevertheless it
is well oecetionally to bear in mind the theory of the
constitution. I heard some time since that the
government proposed to apply the surplus in ques-
tion to public works without any other sanction than
that of the Council of State, and that when the
council raised the inevitable legal objection it was told
that the government would then expend all the
money upon the army. I did not think fit to be the
first to give currency to this report, which I regarded
as untrue because such a way of dealing
with public money would have been inexcusa-
ble. The vote, limited expressly for the pur-
poses of a particular war, evidently did not
authorise the government to spend the surplus in
the war department after the mak;ng of peace.
Notwithstanding the " definitive " resolution of the
French government, announced by the Indepen-
da ate, I cannot yet think that it is intended to an-
ticipate the jurisdiction of the Corps Legislatif in
this matter.

The Bourse is almost deserted. As much as a
quarter of an hour sometimes elapses between one
order and another. At a sitting of the Council of
the Bank of France to-day, the rate of discount
was reduced to 31 per cent. The Rente, which
fluctuated very little, closed at 691 r. 30c. for cash
and 69fr. 63c. for account, with a rise of 60. and

10c. Mobilier roes 3fr. 75c. There was ne cheep
beyond the extent of lfr. or 2fr. in railway 'harm
The following paragraph appellee in the Journal
du Loiret :

According to private information, ',bleb we hive naive&

this manias from Fontainebleau, orders bays bees gives to

prepare three seta of royal apartment. to the cLitoan with-
oat any delay. We do not know for what princely guests
Woe apartnienta are intended.
The heat has again become quite tropical at Paris.
The thermometer marked in the shade yesterday at
two o'clock 34 degrees Centigrade (93 Farenheit),
Not a breath of air was stirring, and on the boule-
vards in some places the asphalts had become soft
under the tread of those passing.
Among the members of the Jockey Club who made
the campaign of Italy, the following have now re-
turned :—Count d'Andlau, chef d'escadroo, Colonel
Baron Berckheim, Marquis de Cadore, Baron Nicolas
Clary, General Fleury, Lieutenant-Colonel Viscount
Foy (Max), Captain Viscount Priant, Prince de la
Moskows, Marquis de Toulongeon, Count Treill,
colorist of the staff, and M. de Geniis Waubert,
whose brother died of his wounds.
"The autograph letter from the Emperor of Aus-
tria," says the Nord, " which Prince Richard de
Metternich bring. to the Emperor of the French, is
the reply to one written by the latter, and sent by
the Marquis de Banneville. These are the only
letters the two sovereigns havo exchanged since the
conclusion of peace. M. de Banneville is to go from
Vienna to Zurich, where he will assist Baron de
Bourqueney at the conference."
The Nord says:

We are able to declare false In every point, and devoid of
foundation, the statement made in certain journals that,
since the pates of Ifi'Wrenn, a change has taken place in
W mistime between' France on the one band and Mai*
sad Prussia on the other. The relations between than three
pews's are, what they always have been, marked with the
most perfect cordiality.
The same journal also says:

As to the numerous rumours, unsupported by any prod.
that a colli.inn will thud!, take place between Frame and
England, they, sleo, are imaginary. In the eyes of eartome
nee, the decision token by the French government tslative
to disarming, and the declarations of the English mbliatlell
I. parlivmenr, are material proofs at what we adesace. Bat
for thse who have personal intense in easing the clubs,
to be believed, it I. clear that them Lem will not sulfite.
