EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, Tuzisuer EVENING.

The impression I conveyed yesterday that the
Marquis de Moustier's communication to the
Chambers was eminently satisfactory, is abun-
dantly confirmed by the furious attitude of the
discomfited organs of the war-party. First of all
comes the Pays, whose editor is M. Grimier de
Casaagnac, the authorised historian of the coup
d'etat, the sometime political director of the Con-
stitutionnel and the favourite framer, until
the abolition of the address, of that echo of
the speech from the throne. The Pap'
enthusiastic desire to protest against the pacific
conclusions of the treaty of London leads it to
tamper with truth. It says that the Moniker re-
cords the fact (coots:ate) that the Marquis de Mous-
tier's communication was received by the Corps
Legislatif with " chilling silence." Now the truth
is that the Mouiteur, which stated that the com-
munication was received by the Senate with
" marks of approbation," says nothing at all as to
the reception it met with in the lower chamber.
This reticence, assuming it not to be accidental,
which is most likely, is something very far from the
affirmation that the message was received with icy
coldness. It should be remembered that the coup
d'etat constitution expressly prohibits any applause
or disapprobation in the chambers, and that it is
only by virtue of recent toleration that the Moniker
takes notice of either. The Pays, moreover, pro-
ceeds to contradict itself. For it says that there
was in the Corps Legislatif a timid movement of
approbation, but which was stopped by cries of
" Hush! hush !" Assuming, therefore, the autho-
rity of the Pays to correct the report in the
Moniker, it would not appear that the coldness
of the reception was "icy," but that there was
a difference of opinion which led the Mtmitetir
to conform strictly to the rules and take no
notice of any manifestation. If any credit
were to be given to the pouting of the
Pays, it would only amount to this, that
the Senate was pleased and the Corps Legislatif
displeased, an4l as the vast majority of both bodies
are equally devoted to government, one does not
see what practical inference can be drawn from
their divergence in point of enthusiasm on this
occasion. The Pays, however, draws the conclu-
sion that the coldness of the Corps Legislatif was
equivalent to a " demonstration," and shows that
there is a perilous " general situation " in no way
changed by the settlement of the Luxemburg affair.
There was some hesitation at the Bourse, but
the upward movement ultimately prevailed. The
announcement in the Moniker that the soldiers of
the class of 1860, whose term of service does not
expire till December 31, are to be discharged im-
mediately, is an earnest of some importance of
an intention to relax war preparations, although
it is justly observed that these men, who go only
en conyi, and are old serviceable soldiers, may be
re-called to arms at any moment, whereas the
reserves called out, and who require drilling, are
not sent back to their homes. Rente rose 35c. for
cash and 40c. for account, closing at 69fr. 50e. and
69fr. folic. Credit Funcier ruse 12fr. 50c., and
Italian 15c. Mobilier remains neglected. The
Northern and Orleans railways rose 7fr. 50c. each.

A Hungarian journal announces with no little
aatietaetion that at the election which has just taken place
of deputy for the town of Ktausenburg, votes were given
for Kossuth and Alexander Teleki.

The white charger to be ridden by the King of
Hungary at the coronation is now perfectly broken in and
proof against shouts, " Eljens," waving of handkerchiefs,
music, salvoes of cannon, and the like. A grand rehearsal
has taken place, and the noble animal showed the most
stoical indifference to the enthusiasm which wee vented
for his edification. The dress of his Majesty will consist
of a crimson dolman, worked with gold, with pantaloons
of the same ; light yellow boots, coming half-way up the
thigh ; a blue imperial mantle, and the ribbon and order
of the Colden Fleece. On his head the Bing will wear
the crown, and at his side the sword of S. Stephen. The
bit and bridle of the horse are of gold, and the trappings
will be ornamented with the arms of the different
" comitate."

The Gazette of Venice contains a long account of
the reception given to King Victor Emmanuel on his arri-
val in that city. The grand canal and the square of St.
Mark were magnificently illuminated at night, and the
King was enthusiastically cheered.
M. Guizot has left Paris for his estate at Val-
Richer to pass the summer.

The bar of Paris is organising, it is said, a grand
banquet in honour of 11. Jules Fevre, on the occasion of
his election to the French Academy.

Pius IX. completed his 75th year on Monday,
having been born May 13, 1792, He will have occupied
the Pontifical throne 21 years on the 16th June neat.
