PARIS, FRIDAY EYRWTIIO.

The telegraph which yesterday carried to London
an analysis of the treaty of Zurich was not allowed
to bring it here. The Pays now reproduces the
despatch from the English journals " under all
reserve;" but inasmuch as it observes that the prin-
cipal clatues Sr. in entire conformity with its own
anticipations previously expressed, the reserve of
which it makes a parade seems to be rather ann.-

abstain from giving the document, and do not refer
to it in any way. The only remark made upon it
by the Petrie is that, inasmuch as all armed
intervention in Italy is repudiated both by
the preliminaries of Villafranca and by the
treaty of Zurich, the objections which, as we learn by
telegraph, are raised by the London journals of this
morning, are dastitate of common sense. "Much
ado about nothing," exclaims the Pattie. Ido not,
however, find in the analysis referred to any express
stipulation that force is in no cue to be used to
bring about the solution which the two Emperors
solemnly pledge themselves to farther to the utmost
of their power. In the present state of Italy it is
perfectly plain that an Italian confederation of
which Austria should form a part could not be
established without the nes of force, and a great
deal of force too. Nobody knows this better than
Napoleon 111. And, therefore, when he solemnly
puts his hand to • treaty pledging himself in
conjunction with another powerful monarch to do
all he can to thwart the well-known wishes of the
Italian people, the Irma& of freedom may well be
alarmed. Their only hope of a peaceable settlement
of the question lies in this—that the treaty of Zurich,
which has taken such a long while to lick into
shape, is only an elaborate joke. Perhaps it may
be so ; but there is certainly no precedent for diplo-
matic jesting on so vest a scale.
To add to the difficulties of the situation, the
conferences are now suspended by the alarming
illness of Count Colleredo, the Austrian plenipoten.
fiery. He has had two apoplectic fits in succession,
has received extreme unction, and the news of his
death is hourly expected.
The French government journals have orders to
speak as if the French government were altogether
taken by surprise at the objections made by England
to the congress. Lord Palmenton's cabinet will be
vigorously assailed for not walking quietly into the
clumsy snare prepared for it, although, in point of
fact, the French government has known all along that
' Lord John Russeirsspeechat Aberdeen was an satins-
' turn. Precedents are to be hunted up of European con-
gresses consisting only of some of the great powers;
and you most expect to be insolently told that Eng-
land's co-operation will be dispensed with in the new
settlement of Italy. By all means let it be so,
rather than that England should have art or part
in the plan proposed, which, as the Nord very truly
says, supposes a " complete triumph of Austria."
M. Dabormida has left Paris for Turin, and not for
London as was announced erroneously by the Pays
last evening.
The Phone de la Manche announces that the pre-
parations for the expedition against China have been
" provisionally" suspended. It is doubtless hoped,
or at least supposed, that the repentance of the
Emperor of China will render it unnecessary for
France to send out any additional force.
The Bonne was rather seriously affected by the
unlooked-for intelligence from Madrid that the war
with Morocco is likely to be undertaken after all.
The Rente fell 20c. both for cash and account,
closing at 69fr. 40c. and 69fr. 45c. Mobilier fell 10c.
Railways were from Mr. 50c. to sfr. lower.
The election in the department of the Orne, to fill
up the vacancy in the Corp* Legislatif, awed by
the death of the eminent agriculturist and cattle-
breeder, the Marquis de Toroy, appears to have been
hotly ',Detested. The final state of the poll was as
follows:—Count de la Ferriilre, 11,149; Marquis
de Tony (the son of the late member), 8,955;
Count de Contades, 6,890. Neither of the candi-
dates having obtained the ab.olute majority of the
rotes polled, the election must be repeated.
