PARIS, TOZSDAT
The Emperor and Empress pained last night at
the Tuileries. The flag hoisted on the Pavilion de
l'Hoeloge gave notice to the lieges of their Majes-
ties' presence. ThM morning the Emperor presided
at a council of ministers. Their Majesties left for
St. Cloud this afternoon. To-morrow they start for
St. Sauvenr, on their way to Biarritz. It is con-
firmed that they will pay a skit to M. Fould, the
Minister of State, at his magnificent country seat,
near Tarbes, where preparations for the reception
have been going on for the last fortnight. Their
Stay will be limited to twenty-four hours.
The forty cannons taken from the Austrians,
whieh were drawn in triumph through Paris on
Sunday, are placed temporarily in the court yard of
the Tuileries. Eventually, some of them will be
permanently exhibited, among other like trophies,
on the esplanade of the Invalidee, and the rest will
be taken to the artillery museum.
The St. Maur camp is already breaking up.
Several regiments left to-day for different garrison
towns, to reorganise and refit. The Imperial
Guard will begin to occupy its barracks in Paris to-
morrow, and right glad the men will be to enjoy
once more the luxury of a bed.

The Petrie takes it for granted to-night that the
Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Duke of Modena, and
the Duchess of Parma have not the slightest chance
of being restored to their dominions. It construes
the stipulation made at Villafranca in favour of the
Grand Dake of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena
as merely meaning that they were free to go back to
their duchies if they could get there. " The treaty
of Villafranca did not give them the keys; it was
for them to find or to take them; they did
not snowed." This view of the Petrie's, which
meets with confirmation in many quarters, is,
it is worth remarking, entirely contrary to
the very positive statement made two days
eines by the Insiepenclanee Beige that the dukes
would most certainly be restored; that the word of
the two Emperors was pledged to their restoration,
and that it would be a sine qua noes to any settle-
ment. Bat supposing, ea there is great reason to
suppose, that the independanee is wrong, does it
follow that the wishes of the people of Central Italy
are to be acted upon ? By no means. The Petrie,
while giving up the dukes, is very careful not to say
what government is to replace their.. The reason
is that the French Emperor has not the slightest
intention of allowing the people of Tuscany
and Modena to choose the only government
which they desire, namely, the tried, the strong, the
I honest, the constitutional government of the King
of Sardinia. " Oh, no !—you ere quite free," the
people of Italy are hypocritically told ; "only you
must not be a republic nor annex yourselves to Sar-
dinia. If you will not have beck your old Austrian
dukes according to the stipulation made and pro-
vided by the two emperors at Villafrance, you are a
stiff-necked ungrateful set of people ; but still you
shall not be coerced into taking them. Yoe must,
however, choose some prince. There is the Prince
Napoleon and the Prince de Leuchtenberg,
or, possibly, you might like the child duke,
Robert of Parma. It is true that you will
be quite at sea about your future welfare if you
take either of these, whereas with the King of
Sardinia you would know what you have to trust to.
But Napoleon 111. won't allow you to be subjects of
Victor Emmanuel, and that is enough."
The Bourse, after the two days holiday, opened
with considerable firmness. The Rente for account
was first quoted at 69fr. 60c., being an advance of
20c. on Saturday's closing quotation. Bat later in
the day it became very much depressed. The
Emperor's speech was not mach cauvarsed, but the
result shows that it failed to produce any positive
effect in favour of a rise. Notwithstanding an im-
provement of in Consols reported by the second
telegram from London, the Rente fell to 69fr. end
69fr. 5c., closing with a fall of 250. and 350. Mo-
bilise fell 18fr. 75c. The Orleans railway fell
7fr. 50c.; Southern, Bfr. 75c.; and the other Foes
about 2fr. 60c.

The Pay. corrects a statement said to be found in
an English journal, that the French aviao Marceau,
coming from Canton, was Mat in the Red Sea. The
Marceau is still in China. It merely says :—" The
vessel lost was the Mariout, a mixed transport be-
longiag to the Egyptian Med jtdie Company; it
struck on a coral bank near Cooder, a port of Upper
Egypt, on the western coast of the Red Sea. A
number of Massulman pilgrims, on their way from
Djeddah to Mecca, were on board. They were
saved by the Gabari, a vessel belonging to the same
company."
