EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(11011 OITA OWN COILIIIMPONDIXT.)
PARIS, WIDNIISDAY EVININO.
The Prince Regent of Baden will leave Paris on
Saturday or Sunday next.
It is officially announced that Count Waleweki goes
to Hamburg next week, and will be absent from
France for three weeks or a month.

The Bonnie has undergone a considerable relapse.
The Emperor's letter to M. Poniard, describing
speculation u the " fatal passion of the day," caused
a feeling of uneasiness among many operators. There
was a vague apprehension that stringent measures
may be impondiog which will restrict speculative
business. Bat a more tangible reason for the fall
of the day was the " execution " of the son of a
vioe•admiral, who is understood to have absconded
with 600,000 fr. worth of securities, leaving his
brokers (who belong to the parquet) liable for his
differences. The Bente, after being very much de-
pressed indeed, recovered a little, but closed with a
fall of 50c. for cash and 30c. for account, at 70tr.60c.
and 70fr. 55c. Credit Mobilier fell 20fr. The Orleans
and Mediterranean railways fell 16fr. each; most of
the other lines were about Mr. lower.

There have been violent fluctuations tc•day in the
Paris flour market, which can only be attributed to
the state of speculative accounts, for the corn mar-
kets are steady, and there is no news calculated to
affect the real value of grain one way or another.
The weather is still cloudy and threatening as it hes
been, when not actually raining, for a long time
pest. This morning flour, nhtch but a few days
since was at 107 tr., fell considerably, and was done at
101 fr. It afterwards recovered, and the quotations
down to a late hour were 102 fr. to 103► r.

A correspondent of the Independance obrerves
the absence of musters from the performances given
the other day in the Court Theatre at St. Cloud for
the amusement of the Prince Regent of Baden. There
were deputies and councillors of state in abundance,
but with the exoeption of M. Delaogle,
the President of the Imperial Court, and
M. Royer, the Procureur-General of the Court of
Cantata'', both of whom were invited in the charac-
ter of high judicial functionaries, there was not •
single member of the Senate present. To fill up the
empty benches a company of long-bearded Zoneves
was sent for, who, although (as the correspondence
says) "visibly astonished to find themselves where
they were, behaved with the utmost decorum." The
substitution of Z mares for senators seems to me not
only a mark of the Emperor's displ t the n
jection of the tax on carriages bill, but • significant
hint or what the 4' reverend signors" may expect
should they hesitate to vote the regency.
"The returns of the customs revenue," says the
ansfitutionnel, "for the first five months of the year
continue to show that the commercial situation of the
country Is prosperous. If the import duties have
decreased from 70,000,000 fr. to 67,000,000 fr., it may
be remarked that this falling off principally bears on
the article of foreign sugar, a diminution which is
explained, and more than made up, by the increase
in Dome-made sugar. The majority of the other ar-
ticles of import are g Ily improving. As to the
exports, they present, in almost all branches, a still
more considerable increase. There is also a great
augmentation in the movement of French shipping
with foreign countries and the colonies."
The Emperor has addressed the following letter to
M. Poniard, the author of the new piece called The
Bourse, lately produced at the Odeon :
" St. Cloud, June 15, 1856.
_ _

" Monsieur,—You thought fit, after the first repre-
sentation of Me Bourse, to escape from the coogratu-
lations of the public and myself. The receipt of
your play now gives me the opportunity of addressing
you, and I do so most willingly, for I was truly
pleased to bear you lash with all the authority of your
talent, and combat with the most noble sentiments,
the fatal passion of the day. I shall therefore read
your piece with as much interact as I saw it played.
Persevere, Monsieur (your fresh suooees invitrs you
to do so) in this path of morality, too rarely, perhaps,
followed up in oar theatres, and which is yet so
worthy of authors who, like yourself, are destined to
leave a great reputation behind them. Believe in
my sentiments. "NAPOLEON."
