The Marlette de TAnette announers that Genital
de Guyon will henceforth assume the title of Om-
mareler-in-Chief of "the divisions of ciesspation
in Italy." This statement, coupled with the con-
firmation of the news which I gave you positively
some time since, that the first division of reinforce-
mental sent to Rome is to be speedily followed by
others, has produced considerable uneasiness, the
effect of which was felt at the Bourse.
The Bourse had again a downward tendency.
Among the principal causes &waived for the
lion were—tint, that the Pope was likely to
Rome.; secondly, the wr rsinforcesasids of the
French army in Italy ; thirdlikut.liofteleamaawete
laconic and tart answer to M. holding out
no hope that the entrance fee to theßourse will be
abolished ; and fourthly, an article in the Cowries.
,in Minato-he, insinuating that a coalition against
France is likely to be cemented at Waniaw. It is,
however, to be noticed that the upward movement,
now only *lightly checked, started but a few days
ago from the figure of 67.75, and that the Rents is
still well above 89. U any one of the above
items of news was thought very serious,
the effect produced by it would in all likeli-
hood be mooh pester. The Route closed at
ti 9.10, with a fall of 10c. As has been the case for
several days there is no difference between the price
for cash and for account Mubilier fell frf. The
Orkana railway fell Of., and Lyons 2f. 50c. ; in the
other lines there was very little change.
Some people see in a phrase of Vidor Mania-
Duel's proclamation to hi army a conismatina of
the rumour revived by the Couleur du Diennwits,
that Austria is on the eve of taking the initiative
of hostilities. The King who fought at Paladin
gives as a reason for assuming the commeselthat be
cannot be absent from the post of danger, and it is
argued that he would not hold the remnant of the
Papal and Neapolitan armies to be dangerous.
The government has interdicted a public sub-
scription for a sword to be presented to General de
lamoriciere, the idea of which was started by some
of his legitimist friends in Brittany.
At four this afternoon the Emperor inaugurated
the new Zoological-gardens in the Bois de Bou-
logne, which have been long in preparation by the
Parisian "Society of Acclimatization." This most
charming addition to the attractions of the grand
public park of the empire is situated between the
Porte Maillot and the Avenue de l'lmpiratrice. It
is called the " Aoclimatisation-garden," and if the
question be asked in what this collection of animals
differs in principle from those of the Jardin des
Plantes and the Regent's-park, the only answer
that occurs to me is, that the society exclude wild
beasts, noxious reptiles' and, in short, every living
thing which it does not desire to see " acclimatised"
in Frauce. The grounds are very extensive and
laid out with admirable taste. On entering and
turning to your right, the first thing that strikes
7011 is a lake on your left hand, soing like that
in St. James's-park, on the surface and on the
grassy margin of which are seen a large collection
of various species of geese, ducks, and other aquatic
binds. In a building on the right are speci-
mens of Japan silkworms, in various stages,
from the chrysalis to the butterfly, some of
which are producing a newly-introduced variety
of silk, called eilante, and have no other
nutriment than a villanocui weed, which is the
peat of French gardens. The introducer of these
worms hopes by their agency to make silk an
article of common wear for the poor. On leaving
this building we find on the right a well-chosen
apartment of game and poultry black cock
pheasants in many varieties, the pretty Californian
partridges, and Cochin China, bantam, and other
fowls. Opposite the poultry pens, and in delicious
verdant meadows, shaded but not darkened by
judiciously distributed trees, and partitioned by
elegant wire fences, are goats and sheep of rare
kinds, including some splendid specimens of the
broad,he whose best wool and best flesh is in their
enormous, Lad yet not unsightly tails.
Before reaching the central building at the extre-
mity of the garden, my attention was attracted by
a park containing about fifty alpacas from Peru.
This is the leading novelty of the exhibition. There
has never before been seen in Europe such a collec-
tion of these animals, whose woollen hair, or hairy
wool, has of late assumed such an important place
in our manufactures. There was much difficulty
in getting them over, and very many of their
companions (lied on the voyage. I can cer-
tify, however, that those who fortunately
arrived in safety seem to be thoroughly accli-
matised ; they look in excellent condition,
and were browsing away with a healthy appetite on
the nice short grass provided for them in the
gardens. They are handsome animals, nearly twice
as big as an ordinary sheep, and with longer legs ;
but, speaking as an ordinary observer and with sub-
mimion to naturalists, theyseem to me of the ovine
Rocks. The flock of them is a most picturesque.
object, the variety of colour being as great as to a
bed of dahlias or China-asters. There are black,
white, grey, red, chocolate colour, and pied varieties
of every description. If they can really be well-
matiaol iu Earope for any practical purse, there
is no doubt that a moat important addition to ma-
nufacturing wealth will have bean achieved. There
is no time to be lost, if it be true, as I hear, that
the breed is fast dying out in South Armories. Only
the Emperor and his suite obtained admission to-
day to the central building above mentioned, and
the destination of which I did not learn. A keeper
told ins that there was nothing in it for the mo-
ment but some very vicious wild amen, of the species
called Hemionee, whose screams of dissatisfaction
at their confinement were head far and wide.
Returning to the opening gate, I noticed two
of the Invest ostriches I ever saw, with
their feathers in • high state of preservation
a great many beautiful cassowaries, several
kangerote, some Ihimes (a larger kind of
alpaca), some very curious deer, some large
Amp, awl a couple of Lilliputian ponies.
The Emperor on his arrival was received by
the members of the society, who accompanied
him round the grounds. Has Naivety inspected
every object with great attention, and made many
observations to the people about kiln. This is the
find time that I have seen the Emperor since his
journey to Algeria, and I take the opportunity a'
saying that be looks remarkably strong and well.
The Duke oe ShJeltelf and Marshal Keenan, who
met his Majesty in the grounds, accompanied him
to his carriege when be left.
The gardens will be thrown open to the public
on Tuesday next • the ordinary price of admission
will be OOP franc, but in order that the poorer
dames neat have as opportunity of enjoying them,
the fee on Boaye and fife days, instead of being
augmented, is to be only five sous.
M. de LOWlloollin, the principal editor of the
Gernert', sad Meal the oldest members of the Paris
pram, is just dead.
