PARIS, SUNDAY EVINING.

The Pays announces that M. Thouvenel will not
take possession of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
till Tuesday. Monday wee, I believe, the day tele-
graphed to London. The same journal says it is
"generally supposed" that after the signing of the
commercial treaty between France and England
similar treaties will be negotiated with the other
powers.

It will be remembered that Garibaldi's marriage
was sometime since frequently asserted, contradicted,
and re-asserted. A letter in the Presse of Turin, of
January 20, says that he is really " going " to be
married to • Mdlle. Raimondi, that the banns are
published, and that the " young " lady's fortune is
very large.
Among the highly interesting correspondence
lately made publie by the Bologna Moniteur is one
singularly apropos to the present time, when certain
French bishops asinine an attitude of open hostility
towards the civil government. In 1846 and 1846
Monseigneur Raphael, the Bishop of Ajaccio, in
Corsica, being at the tints a French subject
and &French prelate, toted as a political agent and
spy of Monsignors Marini, the governor of Rome.
The latter wrote to the bishop to say that suspicions
were entertained in Rome that a hostile expedition
against the Pope's temporal power was being or-
ganised in Corsica. The French bishop at once
assured this foreign minister that there was no foun-
dation for the rumour, and also showed that his
habitual business was very remote from the offices of
the altar and religious teaching. " Far," says he,
in a latter dated Ajaccio, Nov. 17,1846, " my secret
information from every point of the island enures
me that there is nothing to fear. I know, thank
Clod, that my priests do not mislead me, for
they yield to none in devotedness and affection
to the pontifical government." Here we have the
bishop vouching for his priests as being reliable
subordinate spies and political correspondents. In

morsels of this episoopal correspondence are

This practical appeal to the Roman treasury wail
answered by a short note from the polio, telling the
bishop that he was at liberty to draw.

I think it quite superfluous to recommend so adroit a

The profound secrecy which this model ultra-
montane bishop desired was kept till 1860, when it
was divulged by the profane hands into which the
archives of Bologna have fallen.

PARIS, &MADLY ETRNING..

The Bourse was very Mari. 8o little confidence in
any great rise is felt by speculators, that they realise
fora difference of 20c. or 26c. The Rents closed at
68.86 for cash and 68.80 for account, with a fall of
6c. and 20c. Mobilier fell 3.76. The railways
were more depressed than they have been lately, and
their weakness affected the Rent,. Orleans fell 10f.,
and the other lines nearly 6f. There was a talk of
unfavourable news from Rms.
Count d'Haussonville's lawsuit with his printer,
M. Dubuc son, has terminated, at least for the pre-
sent, without producing any judicial decision on the
point upon which so many batonniers have pro-
nounced an opinion, namely, whether the fact of a
writing having been visited with a warning when
published in a newspaper is asufficient resson for a
printer to refuse to execute a contract to print the
same matter in the form of a book or pamphlet, to
which the special legislation which weighs heavily
on the periodical prey does not apply. The govern-
ment, with a view probably of shelving the question,
has given M. Dubuiseon to understand that he may
reprint the warned article with impunity. There-
upon M. Dubuisson wrote to Count d'Hussonville
that he was now willing to print it, and to ask
whether the action would be withdrawn. The

count, however, determined to try the point as
far is possible, refused to be satisfied with specific
performance of the contract, and asked for Mt for
the delay. Yesterday, M. llubuisson's counsel ap-
mi.:tbefore the Tribunal of Commerce to say that
ent would suffer judgment to go by default.
and judgment was so entered accordingly, as a mat-
ter of course. Such a judgment is not necessarily
inclusive, but as the printer evidently does not
want to carry on amateur litigation the affair is pro-
bably at an end. Count d'Haossonville'a litigious
spirit (I am far from using the expression in a bad
sense) has led to a very curious " fix " in another
matter. He lately, in onjunction with a M. Ley-
merle. bought a newspaper, the Courrier de Peru,
from aM. Guerard. The Minister of the Interior,
pursuant to powers reserved to him by Napoleonic
legislation, refused to approve of the transfer, and
the new proprietors cannot take possession. But
this refusal does not, it appears, annul the contract
in a court of law, and thus the property remains in
studious, withdrawn from one man and not
vested in another. It is evident that the
existing press laws were enacted with very
slight regard to their derivative consequences.

THE FRENCH MINISTRY.—it begins to be very
generally rumoured that M. Magus, Minister of Finance.
and M. Billanit, Minister of the Interior, will resign their
places in the cabinet. I cannot state anything affirm-
ative on the point, as I do not trace it to authority.
Nevertheless, I should not be surprised if it should
turn out to be true. Both those ministers are known to be
strong opponents of every measure tending to endanger the
