EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PION ODIS OWN COIMESPONDINT
PARIS, WEDNESDAY Evaxixo.
I am told that the ratifications of the treaty will
be exchanged on Sunday or Monday next.
The Bourse has been very dull with scarcely any
change in the quotations of leading securities.
The Siecle contains the following paragraph on
the concluding proceedings of the Congress, which is
worth attention :

We may tiling/ oar belie that ths memorandum of M.
de Cavosr. otter having bees submitto Ito the Emperor.

to the Congress, and read ,in full in on;

of the laat sittings. We iencat that it was the president,
Count Walewski, who introduced the Reliefs question to
the COOVINIS ; that it was actively, energetically, supported
by Lord Clarendon; that, finally, M. de Cavour, placing
himself in a cntservative point of view, demanded in the
name of his government, and in the name of the
Italian population, prompt reforms in the politi-
cal and civil institutions, clic) large amnesties and
argent improvements, as the only means of main-
taining the tranquillity of Italy, and perhaps that
of Rarope. We believe that Count Orloff rather
approved than repudiated the observations presented on
the situation of the Legations and the Duchies, that he was
only reserved in favour of the King of Naples, whose po-
licy was severely condemned by the plenipotentiaries. We
maintain all that we advanced respecting the sttitude of
M. de Sad, who declined to atcent the reclamation, of
Sardinia, and refused to uplifts himself on the Italian
question. We likewise m iintain, with the reserve we have
alluded to, that the Preach and Russian pisnipctintiariee
have die/flayed the moo perfect anion.

With, respect to the assertion of the Siecle, that
the Sardinian memorandum was actually read to the
Congress, I can only say that the fact is strenuously
denied both in Austrian and French official
circles in Paris. I have res•on to know that
the assertion that the Italian question was first
mooted in the Congress by Count Walewski is
strictly true, but I believe it will be found, when the
protocols are publ i she d, that the French plenipotentiary
expressed little more than a vague desire that certain
Italian governments would be a little more moderate
in the application of their penal laws, and that in
short, the Italian and certain other questions were
merely made use of as a peg upon which to hang
the general principle of intervention in the "interests
of order "—that sort of "order" which, formerly, en
indeed now, "reigned in Warsaw." The stress of
Count M'alewski's speech applied not to interfe-
rence with Italy, but to interference with Bel-
gium, where he denounced the existence of
a free press, and very clearly intimated that if the
Congress did not succeed by their advice in putting
the nuisance down, the French government would
be, of course reluctantly, compelled to take the matter
in hand itself.

The Pays, in producing the news given by the
Independancc Belye, that the Hospodars of the Prin.
cipalities had been dismissed by the Porte (Princes
Ohika I have already stated had resigned),
says that it does not warrant the truth of the intelli-
gence, and remarks that the actual powers of Prince
Stirbey will naturally expire in a few days with the
treaty of Baits Liman.
The Mondeur of this day says :—" All the
despatches received from the army of the East agree
in recording a very great improvement in its sani-
tary state, and it is to be hoped that the epidemic
which has raged during this long winter amongst
our troops in the Crimea and in our hospitals at
Constantinople will soon entirely disappear. Not-
withstanding this re-assuring news, the government
felt itself bound to take precautionary measures so that
the return of oar soldiers to France might not be a
cause of uneasiness to the people at large. With
this object in view, camps have been established not
far from Hyena in localities perfectly isolated, such
as the islands ot Porquerolles, of Sainte Marguerite
and Cavallaire. The troops will make a more or less
prolonged stay in these camps, and will not enter
France until it shall have been well ascertained that
they bring with them no germ of disease. Whatever
men may fall ill will be admitted into the vast sani-
tary establishments on the isles of the Frioul, in the
roadstead of Marseilles, into the enclosed lazarettos
of Toulon, and the beautiful hospital of the Imperial
navy at Saint Mendrier. We know that these mea-
sures, taken in behalf of the public health, have been
gratefully received by the inhabitants of the mouths
of the lthone and of the Var, where most exagge-
rated tears bed been entertained. The camps of
Porquerolles and Cavallaire have already been
considerably advanced towards completion. The
Failly division, hourly expected and coming from
Eopatoria, is to land at Porquerolles, where every.
thing is in readicess for its reception. Arrivals from
the East will also take place, though on a much
smaller acme, at Cette and at Port Vendres. On
both these points every thing has been similarly done
for meeting all eventualities."
General Espinosa writes to the Emperor :
Ce.strantioople, April 21, 165 G.
I has, visited half our hospit I. in Oinet•ntirople. There
era none better tended in Frare.. I have questioned
several honored patieLts, ho a I praise the go d treatment
they have re c,ived. The chief administrains is in firm and
intelligent hatter. Ever,' .hing Eves on a- well be sOhed.
The malady is senseb' yon the decline. The general admi-
nistration is folly capable of receiving whatestr patients
may be still leftist the Crimea.
