THE EXPRESS, THUitSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 6.

Bow years nearly forty-fold. And there is the ;
crowning " caprice " of all, by which we now pay
a peony for sending a letter a hundred miles instead
of ninepence or a shilling. The payment of that
heavy sum was a time-honoured custom to which we
had almost a prescriptive right. But the ruthless
head of the reformer has swept away that clumsy
and expensive process. Other despotic caprices
have tended to render the work of reform completes
se that we now have our letters carried and deli-
vered with unexampled cheapness, expedition, and
punctuality. It is no doubt too bad. We are the
miserable victims of wholesale reform, and naturally
avenge our outraged rights in a bunt of objurgation
against the author of oar calamities.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS. TKmDAT.

The Emperor ham declined to be present at the
banquet offered to him by the commission of the
municipality of Bordeaux ; it is therefore supposed
that his Majesty will not make the anticipated
speech, but the Emperor and Empress will be pre-
sent at a grand b►ll to be given in their honour on
the evening of the 11th, and will arrive in Paris
on the 12th instant. The Imperial Prince will
travel direct from Biarritz to Paris.
The

of this morning cootains an
article signed by Its chief editor, M. Grandguillot,
stating that the preliminaries of peace of Villafranca
bad rescued Italy from every foreign intervention,
no matter under what name or from what quarter it
might come. France confines herself to give the
Italians proper advice, which, if followed by them,
would have ensured the prosperity of Central Italy
but, having in vain offered advice, she cannot go so
far as to dictate orders to Italy.
