EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(NZON OVIL OWN 00/11/ESPONDINTI
PARIS. SuADAT Ennuis.

The arrests at Paris is consequence of tho discovery
of a conspiracy, having for its object an attack on the
life of the Emperor, still continue. A great nurator
of pont= were arrested yesterday, all of whom are
confined in the Masts. The judicial instructions are
being carried out with great zeal. In political circles
there is mush t►lk about a conference which is to
take place shortly in Paris, and in which a great num-
ber of influentiel persons connected with the existing
regime are invited to take part. It is inserted that
the Assembly thus mimed will &cuss the ques-
tion what measures shall be taken under certain
eventualities.

The ISSIORE that an offer of a diplomatic vitiation.
made by the advice of the Exertion to BE:ARANO, i
has been declined by the Doke of VAT ?NCR, is
nevertheless probable enough. NARVATZ, in virtue
of such an office, would be oeltostracised. He would
already have compromised himself by an adhesion I
to 0 Dorm= without acquiring GNP power of dis-
turbing that statesman's tenure of ofilos. He is now
an intriguer against the existing Government, with
a fair chance of succession to its power; he would
then be its exiled dependent. While that statesman
is too shrewd to accept an embassy, O'Doieuxu.
would obviously stultify himself and irretrievably
rein his own prospects by offering him OSC) at
Madrid. There can be little doubt, therefore, that
the Minister will hare to continue to work with hie
eld tools. The appointment of GONZALES Be tvo se
Minister at Washington, although it has not yet
been officially announced, is probably sot with-
out toned' lion ; for the less reputable the person
who is the subject of the rumour, the more probable
is the tumour itself, In the present Isolation of O'Doit-
NELL. CIONZALICS BRAVO will form at Washington a
happy counterpart of K Bonn at Madrid. En-
joying a celebrity only on the score of the innumera-
ble broils at once of his public and of his private life,
we have no doubt that he will very soon give a pre-
text for a resumption of the pleasant dreams of our
American brotherhood in referent.' to the Island of
Cabe. It is pleasing to tarn from a contemplation of
this labyrinth of degrading intrigues to the exertions
of the Progresista party for a resumption of their
natural rights, and for avenging the tyranny and
deceit of those who have so preposterously supplanted
them. They have only one thing wanting for their
restoration to permanent power—and that one thing
is a leader.

The article in the Monolog Post of the 19th
iastant, relating to the alliance, has mooted a
certain sensation here. The ministerial papers pub-
lish it in exteoso, sod remark that the Bogiish journal
' _

use nearly the same language as the CoTutili;tionnel
did yesterday. This fad is easily explained. The
two articles no doubt originated at Paris. I doubt,
however, whether the English ministry entirely ap•
proves of what is said ; at all events they cannot be
willing to become, like Marshal O'Donnell, the
docile instruments of imperial policy.
His Highness Prince henna Napoleon arrived at
Havre yesterday evening, at five o'clottk.

PARIS, LITTZDAY EVII3IIIIO.
The Conatigutionowl publishes an article which is
certain to excite attention, since it raises the goestios
of the &Maus of Frame and England, a sort of
avergesetaest to a portico of the English pries, which
it alleges has been employing towards the French
government an offensive tone as little distin-
guished for 'vestige as for prudence. The acts and
intentions of the Emperor's government are, it
affirms, misrepresented, and on the appearance of
slightest diSculty serious differences are anticipated
between the two countries; whilst at lest a cry is
raised with irritated impatience that "England, if
neceseary, could without the aid of any one cause the
clauses of the treaty of Paris to be executed." After
enouociug the purport of its observations, the Coes-
stitutionnel proceeds thus :
It appears to an that the question of alliances Is cot' in
this ease well undentood. Two greet nations, two great
states, are is accord as to the general priuciples of their
peaty ; all their greet laterals are onnetted, sad they

It dose sot, however, follow that their appreciation aad
their views shell be always prosiest, the some, that their
meats should be identical, and that their slightest desires
should accord or evesy peat of the globe. There are mazy
diversities and shadn fa the oeseplisand life of great states.

"M. Jerome Bonaparte, of America, and his son,"
gays the Journal du Havre, "are expected in a few
days in this town, apartments having been prepared
for them at the Hotel de l'Europe. M. Jerome Bona-
parte is about to embark on board the Arago for the
United States, and will be accompanied u far as
Havre by his son, who, es is known, has entered the

arrival of his American relatives hes caused Prince
Jerome to delay his departure for a few days."
M. Eugene Bus has just quitted Savoy, where he

The Moniteur do la Flats, in an article in which
the celebration of the Fête Napoleon at the Piraeus
was mentioned, commented in rather strong terms on
the absence of the Greek ministers from the celebra-
tion of the Ts Daum. M. Roque, the Greek charge
d'aj'airet at Park, has written a letter to the
journals, stating that the reason of that absence wee
simply because the ministers had not been invited
to be present, bat that they had in the usual manner
celled on the French minister to offer their congra-
tulation,.

A detachment of 105 men and floe officers of the
Auglo-Swise Legion arrived in Paris yesterday
morning by the Northern Railway, and, after par-
taking of a breakfast prepared for them at a restau-
rant by order of the English officer in charge of the
detachment, left by railway for Strasburg, whence
they are to proceed to their own country.
The sitting for the reception of M. Biot, the recently
elected member of the French Academy, will take
place at the end of next month. M. Guisot has been
charged with the reply. The reception of M. Poosard
will, it is thought, take place in November, when M.
Missed will reply.
"An saddest, attended with deplorable effects,"
says the Simapleore of Marseilles, "has just taken
plus on the railway between Aix and Lee Males,
and which is still unopened to the public. The
contractor for laying down the rails was driving
some waggons, laden with sleepers and other ma-
terial, without any locomotive, and only relying on
the natural incline of the railway, when his train
came against a small carriage left on the line by
some of the workmen. Tin shock caused the
waggons to go off the rails, and coming with a cer-
' lain face against the Pont de Venture, those in
frost were broken to piecee. Unfortunately a num-
ber of workmen were on the waggons at the time
of the accident. One was killed on the spot, u
was the contractor, and six others more or less
Injured One of them died the next day, and a
sub-contractor shared the same fate t five others are

I was well-informed when I announced to yon
the near return of Narvaez in spite of the contrary
declaration on the part of all the journals. Thus the
Rojas Autografas, ministerial organ, and the Epoca,
the journal of Rios Rens, which had received
the mot d'ordre to attack Narvaez up to the
moment when his return should be deckled upon,
merely state to-day (the 18:h) that the Duke of Va-
lencia will soon receive his passports to enable bim
to return to Spain. This return, as well as that of
Christina, which may moon I.:. tip ctld, is the pries
of the Queen's content lo the publication of the ad-
ditional article on the constitution, and of the conceit.
don made in regard to the sale of ecclesiastical pro.
perty. It would appear, however, that the sale
will in reality be postponed till the orning
of the Corte,. The intrigues of the Pandilla (follow-
era) of the king, aided by the incendiary threats in
the provinces, which have already been fairly carried
into execution, to&other with the assurance given by
O'Donnell that fonds will not be wanting in the
treasury, have caused the cabi.et to yield on thhs
point; bat it is certain that the finance
minister and the progresaist ministers: will
give in their resiguations. Their suede,.

sore have already been pointed out; but as this
is mere rumour, I will not give their names.
The event of the day is the publication of the
decree establishing the constitution, and the report
which precedes it. It is a document still heavier
and clammier than the preceding ones. It evinces I
desire of pleasing both parties, of keeping the promise
made toDnlos on behalf of the progreseists, and of
fulfilling the engagements entered into towards the
clerical party and the friends of the King. The reli.
gions question and the relations with Rome are
treated in such a manner as to prepare the public
mind for the suspension of the sale of church
property.

The reported recall of the English and French
ambeisadors from the Neapolitan court has produced
a new fall in tents. Threes, which were offered at
the beginning of the market at 70f. 80e., were done
at 70f. 300. All the other securities declining; the
Mobiller from 1,715 f. to 1,700 f., Lyons from 1,3361.
to 1,330 f., Northern from 9864 to 980 f. There was
afterwards a slight rally in shares, but the market
was very dell and without business, and continued
heavy to the close. The following were the closing

-.--

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, received in
Paris on Saturday, states that the railway of Aran-
juts has been the se of • terrible catastrophe.
Five persons loot their live,.
The grand military mane ones will take place
from the 20th to the 30th.
The Madrid correspoodent of the hodepeoulosies
Bulge says that when the proposed modification of
the constitution were submitted to the Queue foe hiss
sanction on the 12th inst., she eagerly asked whether
any resolution had been taken abort the law foe the
seeelariestfon of ecclesiastical property; to which
O'Donnell replied that the ministry could not under-
take to alter such a law as that, voted by the Cortes,
saoetioned by the crown, and formally promulgated,
acid whisk had already een put in execution with
very beneficial results. The Queen answered that she
could not approve of leaving their work incomplete;
and that it was necessary, if not to repeal that law, to
suspend its operation at least until the new Cortes
should have reconsidered the matter. She handed
bask to her mioisters the documents which
they had brought her, and desired them to reflect
seriously upon what she bad told them. O'Donnell
called his colleagues together the same evening, and
informed them of her Majesty's will, but declared
that he would not yield to it. The ministers were
all much disooncerted at the embarrassing situa-
tion in which the Queen's pertinacity threatened to
pins them; but O'Donnell himself was the moat irri-
tated, and is said to have exclaimed, in • fit of ill
human, "With that little woman it is impossible
that government can be carried on." It was ru-
mound, upon this difference between the Queen and
her ministers becoming known, that she had made
up her mind to and for Count Ycmury, formerly
the commandant of Cabs, who was often seen shoat
the court.

-- -----
The Madrid journals of the 16th inst. state that
the motions of the Northern Railway from Madrid to
Valladolid and from Burgos to Iran are to be imme-
diately put up to public contract. A letter from •
ministerial memo says that the government, ea a
new proof of its conciliatory spirit, had ordered
captains-general of provinces to suspend the trial of
persona implicated in the recent events, with the
exception of such as IMO public authorities.
