EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom on OWN OORBEKPONDINT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVININD.

We are going to have a grand fête in Paris at a
very short notice. The Council of State is this
very day hard at work framing the act of annexa-
tion of Savoy and Nice, which will no doubt be got
through the Senate to-morrow. At all events,
Thursday, June 14, is appointed as a day of
general rejoicing. There is to be a Te Deem at
Notre Dame. The Emperor will come from Fon•
tainebleau and review the National Guard. At all
the theatres occasional cantatas wi'.l be sung ; and
I suppose, though there is yet no announcement to
this effect, that they will be open gratis.•
On Friday, the day after the fate, the Emperor
will go to Baden-Baden to meet the Prince Regent
of Prussia, and also, as it is stated, the Kings of
Bavaria and Wurtemberg, the Grand Duke of
Hease, and the Grand Duke of Baden. Immense
importance is attached to this suddenly got up
meeting. Bourse politicians take it for granted
that when the Emperor meets a foreign sovereign
he must necessarily convert him to his own way of
thinking, and the conclusion is jumped to that the
meeting of Baden will at once break up auy
alliance or understanding between England and.
Prussia, and divert the Prince Regent from his
purpose to unite the German states with a view to
their common defence.

M. Martino, the Neapolitan anibateador to the
Holy See, who has lately visitel Naples to confer
with the King, is coming to Paris on a special
mission to the Emperor. This M. Martino was
neglected by the late King of Naples during his
life, but it is said that on his deathbed he espe-
cially recommended him to his son as a man whose
advice should be taken on great occasions.
It is taken for granted that the telegrams con-
tradicting the news of the English occupation of
Castellamare are true ; but the evening govern-
ment papers still speak of the subject in hesitating
terms. The note iu the Moaiteur announc-
lug the evacuation of Palermo is thought
to imply that no part of the garrison
will be allowed to go to Messina. The Opinion
Nationale says that France, with the acquiescence
of Piedmont, has accepted the mediation offered by
Francis 11., and that the lauds of it is a separate
government of Sicily under a Prince of the House
of Bourbon, but with the consent of the Sicilian.,
to be consulted, of course, by universal suffrage.
The Opiaioa hopes that they will consent to no
such thing. Igo much further, and, while greatly
doubting the news, express my decided belief that
Garibaldi at least will be no party to such a trans-
action, which it would moreover be not only dis-
graceful, but dissatrous, fur the King of Sardinia
to have any hand in.
The physiognomy of the Bourse has quite changed
since Saturday. The contradiction of the news of
the English occupation of Caatellamare, mid the
announcement of the Emperor's journey to Baden,
gave au immense impulse to speculation. The
Route rose 50c. for cash and 55c. fur account, doe-
lug at 68fr. 40c. and 68fr. 35c. Mohilier rose
13fr. 75e. The railways, though leas active than
the Rents, roes about bfr.
In the Corps Legislatif to-day, M. Picard, one
of the members for Paris, took occasion to allude
to the warning given yesterday to the ellarricr de
