EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WILDNISDAT ETZNINO.

The Congress met today for the eighth time. I
cannot tell bow far the members may keep their
alleged obligation of secresy with respect to the
world in general, but I can certify that, as far as
know, there bas been no breach of confidence, and,
therefore, I feel myself unable to emulate various
correspondents who way that things are going on
smoothly one day, and that unexpected difficulties
have arisen the next. I and much of this cor-
respondence quoted today in French journals
which are confessedly ignorant on the subject
themselves. I suspect .that distance lends
enchantment to the view," or they would not
attach so mach importance to mere conjectursl state-
ments because they bear the date of London or Ber-
lin. A Government courier arrived from Bt. Peters-
burg last night, with despatches for Count Orloff,
which, according to Bourse rumours, remove ►ll the
impediments to a treaty of peace which yet re-
mained.

It is said that a *moony of French players have
already been engaged for the Bt. Petersburg theatre.
The Bourse has been very buoyant indeed. A very
confident feeling prevailed that all wae going on well
at the Congress, and it was believed that a pacific
malt would be publicly made known very shortly.
Them was a rumour that Prussia is to be admitted to
take part in the Conferences which are expected to
follow the re-establishment of peace. _ The Bente

rose 80c. for Nab, and 700. foe amount,
closing at 72fr. 80c., and 731 r. 300. For
account the quotation was 10n. or 150. higher a
short time before the close of business, owing
to a rumour that the Commissary of the Bourse had
just received a dispatch. Bet when it was found
that no despatch was placarded, there was a reaction
to the prior above stated. Credit Mobilise and
Credit Fonder roes 15fr. each. Railways were all
very firm. Lyons roes 16fr., and Lyons and Medi.
terranean 10tr. Austrians roes Bfr. 76c., and Victor
Rennanuel 121 r. 80c. The unfortunate Napoleon
Docks were much depressed, owing to the news that
the negotiation for an arrangement to carry them on
bad broken down at the last moment.

Ido not hear that the Empress ha. leit the Tuile-
ries today.

Tha cradle presented by the city of Paris to the
owning Imperial infant was takes to the Tuileries
this morning. It had been peerlessly exhibited pri-
vately for a short time at the Hotel de Ville. The arms
of the city of Paris suggested the amigo. It is made
is the form of a ship, with as eagle at the prow, and
an allegorical figure representing the city of Paris at
the poop. At the foot of the statue are two marble
gods, looking epos the cradle with the protesting
eyes of friendly divinittee. At each corner of the
cradle are winged Dynes with silver bodies and
golden tails. On the outside ere four medallions
representing the cardinal virtue of princes—
litreegth, Vigilance, Pralines, and Jude., with the
buckle N.B. between each medallion. The cradle is
sicrosowited by an Imperial crow. and a mom. The
material is rosewood, gold enamel, and oxydleed
diver. Bat the milked= has Wee purposely does
so lightly as merely to diminish the glare of the
Mbar, without changing it to too sombre
a colorer. A number of artists have been
employed upon the work. The crows and cress
are by M. Jacquard, the ornaineets by MM. Ganda
and Poignant, the carving by MM. /Premieres mad

iented by M. &mart, and the patting together of the
whole was wedded to M. Fremont Maurice, sea of

had to deplore.
