EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN COI

PARIS, TI7ISDAT Evwxo.

M. Thouvenel has been slightly indisposed, sad It
is said that a diplomatic note on the Savoy question
has been delayed in consequence. A artesian
silence is maintained in official quarters as to whs.
they the annexation is to be effected by means of
universal suffrage or otherwise. The Pays has an
ambiguous nots upon the subject, from which
nothing can bs gathered except that France means
to have Savoy, and will give a new proof "of her
disinterestedness* by doing nothing mars than
making a necessary rectification of her frontier.
The Bourse was rather firm at the opening, but
the Rents was never quoted higher than yesterday's
closing price, and it ultimately dropped down to
67fr. 86c., both for cash and account, closing with a
fall of 200. and 16c. Mobilier fell 6fr. Railways
were from Ifr. 26c. to 21. 60c. lower.

Madame Herold, the mother of the eminent com-
poser of that name, died yesterday.
The Preece says in its weekly commercial review:

Business both with manufacturers and wholesale houses
in Paris continues in the meat inanimate condition, and the
same may be said of the retail dealers. The sale of winter
goods, ass matter of comae, Is now at an end, and the un-
favourable state of the weather prevents anything being yet
done in articles for the spring. At Boom and Molhansen
the mine dulness prevails, and although the manufacturers
have already reduced their prime, they cannot affect sales.
Little or nothing done in raw cotton In Havre, and prices
naturally looking down.

The Emperor, accompanied by one of hie aides-de-
camp, two days ago visited the studio of M. Ondin,
who has just finished two pictures which his Majesty
ordered in 1868, one representing the arrival of the
Queen of England at Cherbourg, and the other the
visit of the French fleet off Brest. The Emperor,
after conversing for some time with the artist,
ordered another picture representing the entrance of
the French troops into Genoa.
