PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

I have heard to-day a piece of news to which I
attach just sufficient importance to think it worth
repeating, but without at all pledging my belief of
its truth. The rumour is that, there being little
likelihood of a anagrams, France and England, with
the consent or connivance of Russia and Prussia,
will attempt to settle the Italian question. To this
end negotiations are to beset on foot which may per-
haps result in giving Savoy and Nice to France, and
Central Italy (including of course the Romagna) to
the King of Sardinia. Lord Cowley's journey to
London is supposed to be connected with this
project.
The amusing features of M. Orandguillot's tardy
claim to the authorship of the letter of " Catholic
journalist" very forcibly strike the Univers, which
says that the redoetemr-en-ektf of the Constitutional
will hereafter take rank among that high order of
' wags who provoke laughter unawares. The Univers
frankly owns that it would never have guessed, as
the Ccoutitutionnsl avers the press ought to have
done, that M. Grandville' scrupulousness had
led him to put on "a Woe nose in order to read a
lawn to the bishops.*
There is a talk of a new pamphlet written
jointly by MM. Tldors and Villemain.
The news which I lately quoted from the Press*
of the resolution of the Council of the Order of
Advocates in M. Emile 011ivier's case turns oat to
have been promature—bnt it was premature only—
it is now true. The Droit (legal journal) says that
the council is not in the habit of proceeding is
affairs of this importance without mature considera-
tion. A first special meeting was held on Saturday,
at which M. Marie was elected reporter. Yesterday
(Tuesday) a second meeting was held to receive
and consider M. Marie's report. The malt of this
second meeting was that already given by anticipa-
tion in the Precise—viz., a resolution that M.
011ivier should be requested to appeal against the
sentence suspending him for three months, and
should at the same time be informed that the entire
council (which includes the present and all past
idgonniers) tendered him their advice and assist-
ance.

Today M. 011ivier, accompanied by M. Plocque,
the bikonnier for the year, presented himself before
the registrar of the tribunal of the Seine, to enter
his appeal. The registrar, having doubtless been
instructed to put all possible difficulties in the way,
refused to reoeive it, and therefore M. 011ivier drew
up in proper form a requisition to the President
of the Tribunal to appoint a huiseier to re-
cord the refusal of the registrar, and at the same
time to give legal notice of his appeal. This affair
has occasioned a greater sensation in Paris than any
domestic event that we have seen for a long time.
The attack upon the rights of the subject in the
person of a prisoner's counsel is perfectly understood
by the Parisian population. M. Emile 011ivier's
constituents are especially indignant at the affront
offered to him. lam told that the ban of common
wineehopu, which have long been strangers to
political deoussion, now ring with philippic against
the judge of the Correctional Tribunal.
At the Bourse the improvement of yesterday was
not maintained. A good many " executions " of
defaulters affected the market. One speculator—a
man of title—was said to have failed for a million
of francs. The uncertainty respecting the congres
contributed materially to render the market heavy.
The Rents fell 10e. for cash and 30c. for account,
closing at 88fr. 50c. and 68fr. 4k. Mebilier fell sfr.
The Orleans Railway fell 7fr. 50c.; Northern,
3fr. 7k. ; and Lyons, 3fr. 7k. Southern rose
Bfr. 2k.; and Western and Eastern left off without
change.
