PARIS, MONDAY ENININO:

The Emperor's speech to the generals at the
dinner which he gave them at the Tuileries was
appropriate to the occasion, and it will probably be
the general opinion that it contains nothing
menacing to Europe. In stating that • part of the
army of Italy is to be released from duty his
Biejesty shows that he persiets in the idea of •
partial disarmament which he announced in the
Nooderr some days ago. The only expression
which can possibly give rise to cavil is the follow-
ing :--" If France has done so much for a friendly
power what would she not de for her independence ?"
Standing alone and apart from the circum-
stances of the hear, this phrase would be nothing
more than the enunciation of a truism. Bet in the
month of a sovereign rather notorious for using
words in a sense different from that in which they

are understood by ordinary men, it may perhaps be
understood to imply, not that France intends to
remain at peace except in the altogether unlikely
case of her independence being attacked, bat that
an alleged infringement of her independence will be
put forward as the pretext for the war next coming.
The Press., hitting upon the above, which is the
only remarkable passage in the speech, comments
upon it in the following sentence :—" A conclusion
manifestly true, and one which history has many
times verified in the course of ages, but one which
we hope it will not be necessary to prove over
again. Who in Europe can possibly think of
threatening the independence of France ?"
M. Rambourgi, member of the Legislative Body
and assistant judge of the civil tribunal at Troyes,
has just been condemned by the Pint Chamber of
that court to a fine of 4,000 fr., with costs, for writ-
ing insulting letters to the Prefect of the Aube on
matters connected with the exercise of hie functions
as prefect.

A revolution had broken out at Carthagena. The
liberal party overpowered the guards, and got the
tower into their hands. The revolution, however,

was soon quelled, but a feeling of meanness pre-
vailed amongst the foreign residents. The governor
had promised the British consul that order should
be preserved.
There was great excitement at Colon about the gold
discoveries in the old Indian burial places, near the
Chirigni Laguon. Golden images of the crocodile,
and of forms resembling the Egyptian Sphynx
have been found there, and brought to Colon for
sale.
