EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WZDNINDLT BYI2IIIO.

AU the news that I hear today is exceedingly
warlike. The fallen of Lard Cowley's mission
seems to be taken for granted. Him excellency was
to be in Paris to-day ; and it is said, though I can-
not vouch for the fact, that he has already been
received by the Emperor. I am pretty certain that
some great military demonstration will be made
within a very few days, but I cannot say what pre-
eise form it will take. There is great talk of the'
immediate formation of as army of observation
we the Alpe. In one quarter I hear it stated
positively that the Lyons Railway Company has
received orders to be ready to convey 76,000 men to
the month. The coincidence of this number with
the force said to have been demanded by the Kiog
of Sardinia a few dap ago favours the supposition
that a French army is to be sent immediately to
Piedmont. But the two reports are probably bet
different versions of one--and it doss not clearly
appear what—fact. The Nord says that the minis-
terial changes which it considers most probable
will be postponed till the very last Emmet.
There are still many people who, accepting
literally the candid phrases of the Noel-
feur, do not believe in war, and they will
continue to hope for the best until the storm bunts.
When it does come it will probably be very sudden,
and we may be very certain that dissimulation will
be used up to the latest hour possible.

Its announced that the Minister-at-War has
ordered all officers and soldiers on leave of absence
to join their regiments immediately, and that no
leave of absence whatever will be granted till
further orders.

The Bourse continues to be much depreawid.
Violent oscillations are so much dreaded that many
speculators are afraid to operate. The Rents fell
25c. for cash and 20c. for account, closing at
67fr. 450. in each case. Mobilier fell 10fr. The
railways fell about 21r. 600. each. Bales were more
pressed at the close than at the beginning of
business.

Among the military promotions announced by the
Moniteur on the occasion of the Prince Imperial's
birthday (March 16), I observe that of Colonel de
Cutagny, of the 82nd Regiment of the Line, who is
made a brigadier-general. His name is not on.

known to your readers, who may see, by referring
to the Daily News of January 29, 1868, that I pre-
dicted his speedy advancement. His wee the first
and the most enthusiastic of those celebrated ad-
dresses published by the Manton., in which the
invasion of England was suggested, in order tercet
eat the refugees. " If," said Colonel Castagay,
"your Majesty requires soldiers to seek oat these
wretches, even in the recesses of their den, we,
the 82nd of the Line, humbly pray to be allowed to
form part of the advanced guard of this
army." He now has his reward. Another
hero of the same epoch, Colonel Gault, of the
48th Regiment, is also made a generaL His
address was one of those few, which, on amain
of their containing matter too strong for the public
eye, were not published in full. That part of it

" We will fight your enemies wherever we may find

The offline de troupe of lit Regiment of Grena-
dier Guards went to the Tuileries this morning to
offer their comrade the Imperial Prince, who is on
the roll and draws the pay of the regiment, a bou-
quet on the occasion of his birthday.
