EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS. TOISDAT EViNDIO.

The Patric thinks itself authorised to say that
there is no foundation for the news telegraphed
from London, on the credit of the Morning Nereid,
that a treaty of alliance offensive and defensive has
been concluded between France and Denmark, and
that negotiations are going on with Sweden and
Norway, with the view of forming a maritime league
against England. I dare say you will scarcely re-
quire this contradiction of the statements in ques-
tion.

The Pays does not give any contradiction of its
own to the above report, but reproduces a note of
the telegraphic agency to the effect that the news
is given with " all reserve."

A very comic accident has happened to M. Louis
Veuillot. He arrived in Paris yesterday from
Rome, bringing despatches from the Pope to the
nuncio in Paris, among which doubtless there was
the bull of excommunication. He was, however,
watched by a trusty spy, and on his arrival all his
papers were taken from him. The Patric contra-
dicts a report which appears to have been current,
that he had been arrested.

SOME FRENCH FACT% ABOUT LORD BROUGHAM.—
The Paris oo of a Brussels paper writes :—" The
ex-Chancellor of England has collected into a single volume
the purely scientific works which he has composed, from
17Ri to our own day. Lord Brougham was brought up at
Oxford, an assemblage of religious edifices, churches, con-
vents, cloisters, as well as colleges, which M. Du in, in his
travels in England, called ' The Mecca of Science. He has
been recently appointed Chancellor of the University, and it
is to this oelebrated establishment that he has dedicated his
book."
LETTER FROM SIR ROBERT PEEL TO CHEVALIER

The English booksellers in Paris have within the
last two days sold off all their stale copies of
" Tristram Shandy," and I am not sure whether
any numbers of the Tautchnitz edition can now be
found on the Boulevards. The reason for this extra-
ordinary demand for Sterne's immortal work, is
that it coutaina with laughter-moving commentaries
and interpolations, the substance of a papal excom-
munication—witneas Dr. Slop, Uncle Toby, and
Obadiah.

The Bourse was very firm during the greater part
of the day, and although some perturbation was
introduced by the news of a rising in Spain, the
Rente left off with a rise of 35c. for cash and 15c.
for account, at 69fr. 60c. and 69fr. 50c. Mobilier
rase 7fr. 50c. Railways (with the exception of
Eastern, which fell Ur. 75c.) were from 2fr. 80c.
