EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PION OWN OWN 001

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.

The following passage at the bead of the leading
column of the Lidepeadescs Bulge of yesterday
derives importance from the fact of its being the
principal topic of the Opinion Nationale of this
evening:
Among all the entessisensats of Italian affairs, one point
is Meetly visible through all the contradictory intelligence
which remedies en—vis., that there Is a coolness between the
eshisess of Paris sad Turin oa swount of the question of
Savoy and Nice, and that, in oonsequenoe of their diSsrenoes
on this subject, the latter power, although supported by
England, and maim; to take her revenge for the peace of
VaIifISZCS. Ands It for the moment impomible to carry out her
projects for the annexation of Central Italy. On the other
hand, France, in order to thwart the Sardinian view, now
professes more fidelity than ever to the stipulations of VOL:s-
tream', and seems to manifest an intention to extend the
military occupation to Florence and Bologna, if that step
shall tarn out to be necessary to assure the Emma of her
policy. Count Aress,who ham just arrived in Paris, and is going
on to London, is commissioned, as we learn from Turin, to
smooth difficullies and to re-establish between the courts of
England, France, and Piedmont the harmony which is mom-
eery for the emancipation of Italy. His mandato is that which
was to have been Cavour's, but it le rendered considerably more
difficult by the events of the last month, and the Sardinian
envoy, although a personal friend of the Emperor's, does not
deny that his task is an arduous one, and that his chances
of success are bet men. If he should fail, we shall see a
revival of the rumours of an approximation between Francs
and Austria, oi a moonoluttion of the Tuileries with the

Vatican, of rho formation of a kingdom of Central Italy
with the Grand Dake of Tuscany at its head, and of
Vicar-Genwal of the Pope in the Legations. Rumours of
this kind ere already set about in Paris. M. Thouvenera
letter to Count de Persigny on the subject of the English
four prepositions, the tolerance et the French government
in allowing the Pope's encyclical Witte to be read in
all the churches, the order given to the Camilla:ionised

to cease its controversy with Mgr. Dupanloup, and the re-
quest to the Silel• to bring a civil instead of a criminal
action against that prelate, are interpreted as indications of
more favourable dispositions towards Austria, the temporal
power of the Pope, and the restoration of the Dukes, than
those which ruled the situation jolt before the appearrnce of
the fatuous pamphlet, " The Pope and the Congress."
The Opinion Rationale, it wilt be remembered,
was the organ chosen by the French government to
ventilate the scheme for the absorption of Savoy
and Nice by France long before the world began to
believe in the reality of such a project. This journal
does not now by any means violently contradict the
gloomy anticipations of the Independance. It
merely says that they are " perhaps exaggerated,'
and it then proceeds to attach importance to a Turin
letter of the 9th, published three days ago by the
Constitutiormel, in which it is stated that M. Touts,
a Swiss envoy, who was sent to Turin to remon-
strate against the annexation of Savoy, had be-
come convinced that it was too late, and that he
and Count Cavour were now only treating about
the means to scours the passage of the Simplon, so
that Switzerland might be under no apprehension of
sudden invasion by her new and powerful neigh-
bour. There is therefore this great distinction
between the way in which the Savoy and Nies
question is represented in England and France—
that in the former country the project is represented
as being so hypothetical and unripe that it cannot
be even said to exist with any official certainty, and
here the government organs are instructed to say that
the thing is settled in principle, and that discussions
scan only bear upon minor details.
The Bourse to-day was without any particular
feature. The Rents was steady, and without much
fluctuation rose 15c. both for cash and account, clos-
ing in eack case at 87fr. 700. Mobilier rose 3fr.75c.
The Western Railway rose 7fr. 500., and the other
lines were from lfr. 50c. to 2fr. 255. higher. Busi-
ness was a good deal interrupted by the inaugura-
tion of a new parquet, or place enclosed by rails, in
which the newly created assessors assembled to do
business in imitation of the regular brokers. Tba
i tion was very unpopular, clients who deal
with these outside-men' finding that the new regula-
tion did away with that facility of access which was
the principal attraction of their ministry.
