EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(mow ova ow* CORIIIIIPORDIOITI
PARIS, Fanur EVININO.
The Constautumnel states positively that the Pope
and the Queen of Sweden will be the godfather and
godmother of the expeetcd Imperial infant.
The following is the last bulletin issued relative to
Prinos Jerome :

Mach 14.9 cm.

The inflammation of the sheet with which hie Imperial
Highness is sttsclunt hoe reached its meads day. The last
night has been more tranquil, and the cough less frequent.
The Senate is at this moment giving proof of its
power to take an "initiative." The Moniteer
states that a report on a proposition for a
"rural code Is on the order of the day.
It must not, however, be supposed that this
measure is the result of the recent Imperial scolding
administered to that body, for the report relates to a
motion made by Mr. Senator Ladonoette, as long ago
as 1834. The debates of the Senate being secret, by
a rule of the present constitution, the senators, indi-
vidually, can only look to be applauded by their own
approving consciences for the seal and ability they
may show in the matter. The general result, indeed,
should their deliberations produce any, the public
may hereafter be permitted to admire. The admira-
tion for anything useful achieved by the Senate, will
be the more intense that it will be aided by the charm
of novelty.

It is said that upwards of twenty-five thousand
perms have been to the Hotel de Ville yesterday
and to-day to see the imperial cradle. I maw this
morning a spiral queue of people, extending from the
Place de l'Hotel de Valle, and far along the Quay, so
long and so closely packed as to deter me from
adding one to the number of so much good company.
It is annotinoed this evening that by order of the
Emperor and Empress the exhibition will be pro-
longed for another day. The cradle will not be pre-
Dented to their Majesties till Sunday morning, the
16th. This shows that the accouchement of her Ma-
jesty is not supposed to be immediately at hand. The
partisans of March 20 are in extasies.

- The Congress held its ninth sitting to-day.
At the Bourse, the official confirmation by the
Monifeor, of the news that Prussia is to take part in
' the Congress, produced no eff,et, although it is gene-
rally considered u a certain indication that pesos is
substantially concluded. As frequently happens
when great events are known by certain privi-
leged capitalists sooner than by the public, the
' natural Influence of the fact upon the market was
" discounted" beforehand. The peculiar feature of
the present state of the Bourse, which I have more
than once pointed out, still continues, namely, over
speculation for the rise. People who have not
the means to take up the stock they have bought,
and who have been repeatedly frightened of late
by unexpeetid falls, seek to realise or does their
accounts on tolerable terms whenever an opportunity
offers, and they check every incipient rise by their
sales. To-day business was very slack. The Rents
rose 10c. for cash, and finished et yesterday's price
for amount, closing at 72ir. 75c. and 73fr. 26c.
Credit Fonder took a sudden start acd rose 32fr. 500.
Credit Mobilier fell 21r. 60c. In railways there was
scarcely a change of a franc or two.
General Baron Subervie, who was Minister at
War under the Provisional Government, has just
died at his chateau in the Gironde, aged 84.
