PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

M. Theobald Toucher de la Pagerie, a cousin of
the Empress Josephine, has enlisted as a private
in the Piedmontese cavalry.
The subscription Hats for the war loan of 600
millions were closed yesterday. It is already known
that as much as two milliards one hundred and
eighty millions of francs is subscribed for, and the
lists of seventeen departments are not yet complete.
It is calculated that the total will not be less than
two milliards and a half. The subscriptions not
exceeding 10fr. of Rents are estimated at fully
150 millions. The Pays observes that no other
country in the world has such large resources to
place at the service of its government and of the
cause of right.

The Bourse was favourably affected by the
English declaration of neutrality and the immense
success of the loan. Tho Rents rose 35e. for cash,
and 40c. for account, closing at 611 r. 10c. and
60fr. 95e. Mobilier rose 25fr. The Orleans rail-
way rose 22fr. 50o.; Northern, 27fr. 60c.; Eastern,
20fr.; Lyons, 12k. 50c.; Southern, 20fr. ; and West-
ern, 10fr. The market was very firm at the close.
It is to be observed, however, that the despatch from
Brussels, stating that Russia has placed five corps
d'armee on a war footing, and called out the reserves,
was not known to the public during Bourse hours.
The Frew is the only journal which publishes that
despatch this evening.
There must be some news in the Belgian papers,
for they are all seized to-day.

The Minister of War has sent a circular to the
commanders of corps of the army of Italy, direct-
ing them to prohibit offioers from making any
communications whatever to newspapers.
All the world knows the story of the Spanish
grandee, who, arriving one night at a country
hostelry, announced himeelf with such a profusion
of titles that the terrified host bade him pan on to
another in; as he had not room for so many travel-

Some of my Italian friends here hare been
greatly amused by the intelligence conveyed by the
London papers a day or two ago that General Neri,
Prince Corsini, and the Marquis Lajatioo bad been
charged by the provisional government of Tuscany
with an extraordinary mission to the Emperor Napo.
Leon and the Ling of Sardinia. Now the fact is that
these three personages have been beaten by the
English press out of one individual—namely, Don
Neri Corsini, Marquis Lsjatico, the younger brother
of Prince Corsini of Rome. It is generally known
that this nobleman, one of the principal movers in
the bloodier revolution of Tuscany, has been ap-
pointed a commissioner for the provisional govern-
ment at the head-quarters of the allied army.
On the delicate and somewhat mysterious 'abject
of the tardy seizure of M. About's book, the Univers
says

we believe the Cointitutioicosi is rightly Informed that an
order has been given to mike M. Atones pamphlet, bat the
order certainly was not acted nee up to Saturday, for we
ourselves saw the work exposed for sale in a greet many shop
windows in the evening of that day. As to whether
the circulation of the book was previously " authorised "
or not we will not Mecum that question with the

Oustitutiomort; bat we do know in common with all the
world that for five consecutive days it wee sold Ia Paris
without let or hindrance, and that it has hitherto drettlated
no lees freely throughout Franco. It is moreover certain
that thousands of copies of Y. Abortes pamphlet were
allowed to pass the Custom-house, and It to no leas true that
wee since the 2nd of December no one of the many works
publialted in Belgium against the French government has
enjoyed a similar advantage. Bach are the facts, and the
paragraph in the Coutittitionnal does not touch them. This
. . . .

all tiat we think it desirable to nay at present. The Ma-
rikerri and the &acts defend M. About's production. This
Is but natural; they think all that he ho said, and would
say it also, if they dared.

-The bin= of marriage are published between M.
Fame, of the Open COMitifle, and the celebrated
artiste Mdlle. Lefebvre, of the same thealze.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING,
M. de Rineleff, the Russian ambassador, took
lean of the Emperor at the Lyons Railway station
on the day of his departure, and his Majesty then
and there gave him the Orand Cordon of the Legion
of Honour. This fact, which has its importance, has
only just been made public.
Pursuant to the orders of the Minister of Public
Worship, the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris has
issued hia mandate directing prayer, to be offered up
in all the churches of his diocese for the success of
the French arms. In this document his Ones admits
that nothing has been neglected to guarantee the
" security and necessary independence of the apo-
stolic see."
The

of yesterday contained the
following paragraph:
It hes been generally amppoind that the departure of the
troops for Italy "mild neemearity came a acmaiderable dinn-
nation in the number of troops quartered in Paris ; each,
bower, is not the cam, as the garthon will continue at
the same strength as to tahmtry, while there will be an in-
crease In cavalry. The greater part of these troop hare
already arrived from other parts of the °Pantry.
