L&TEST INTELLIGENCE.
RUSSIA AND THE PRINCIPALITY OF
MONACO.

We read the following strange story in the
Prue :

" A vague and passing strange rumour is eironl
lating in Italy, and especially in Nice, Villafranes,
and Monaco, to the effect that the Emperor of Ramjet
in order to make his maritime position at Villa-
franca more effectual, desires to purchase the prin-
cipality
of Monaco, which is almost close to it.
There is no doubt, it is said, that a very large sum
of money would tempt the Prince of Monaco to
sell his principality, with all the rights and pri-
vileges appertaining to it. Monaco has been sold
for money more than once, and why should it not
be again P The Prince, who is in taste and habit*
quite a Parisian, would find many advantages in
getting rid of his little kingdom, and it would be
an immense acquisition for Ramis. She might
create important establishments between Capes
Aglio and Martino, and particularly at Monaco,
itself, the port of which is one of the safest in the
Mediterranean, and would be almost impregnable
if properly fortified. This acquisition, however,
I would seriously affect the political division
of Italy, and would therefore necessitate
international diplomatic intervention. Pied-
mont, notwithstanding her present friendly
relations with the Czar, would assuredly not consent
to allow Russia to take possession of a territory,
which is bounded on all sides by her states, and
the European powers would never sanction such a
transaction. Russia meet see all the difficulties
we would rather say the impossibilities, in the way
of such a project, and we can therefore only regard
the rumour as unfounded."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. WIDNISDLY EYINIWO.

It has been almost taken for granted, in some
quarters, that in oonseqaence of the 'satisfaction
given to Spain by the Emperor of Moroooo, the
Cabinet of Madrid had renounced its projected
expedition against the Riff pirates. A telegram
has, however, reached Paris, stating that the
Spanish fleet, consisting of eight steamers, actually
sailed from Cadiz this morning for Tangiers. Spain
has several grievances against Moroooo, and the
reparation lately obtained extends only to one.
The fleet has orders, after presenting the demands of
the Spanish government, to scour the coast of Africa,
and destroy all vessels manned by the Riff Moors,
which may be found without regular papers, and
treat them as pirates.
In the department of the Meuse the prefect, fol-
lowing the example lately set in the Aisne, has not
formally chosen a government candidate for the
vacant seat in the legislature, but has caused the
electors to be informed, through the Echo di I' Bet,
that they are free to vote either for M. Clement,
mayor of Verdun, or M. Bennis, mayor of Waly, both
of whom are equally devoted to the government.
It is stated that apropos of the French flag hoisted
by the Duke of Malakoff on his residence at
Knightsbridge, and which, after a diplomatic cor-
respondence on the subject, he has been ordered to
take down, Count Walewski has written • circular
to French agents in foreign countries laying down
rules for their guidance as to the circumstances
ander which it is proper to display the national
colours.

Lord Cowley left Compiegne a few days ago for
his country seat at Chantilly, where he will con-
tinue to reside till the repairs at the embassy in the
Faubourg St. Honore are completed: the expenses
of these repairs, by the way, aie stated to be esti-
mated at 20,000 L sterling.
In order to facilitate into:mares between Wey-
mouth and Cherbourg, the Minister of the Interior
has =Wailed to the latter port that relaxation of the
rules regarding passports which already exists at
Boulogne and Calais.
The Bourse has been animated to-day, and was
may Arm at the close. The Rent* rose 10fr. for Gash
and 26fr. for account, Naving off at 73fr. 110 c. and
71Ift. 90c. Mobilier roes 17fr. 600. There was not
much change in railways.
