It is asserted that the despatch of the allied fleets

doubt the correctness of this statement are persuaded
that the demonstration will be of a u peal& nature."

Th. CoNstilutionnel sees with anxiety the decline
in the value of the public funds and other securities,
which her been steadily taking place during the put
six months; end endeavours to explain the sickly
condition of the Paris stook exchange. The serious
and general fall which has taken place on the Bonne

attributed to certain financial embarrassments which

Two soldists belonging to the garrison of Paris,
one in the 36th and the other in the 66th regiment
of the line, fought a duel yesterday near the fortifi-
cations. The weapons chosen were sharpened few.
iug foils. In a few minutes both of them had
received wounds. He of the 66th, who was struck
in the breast, did not at first feel that he wu
wounded, bat bis seconds, seeing marks of blood on
his shirt, came forward to stop the encounter. In a
few minutes be staggered, and fell heavily to the
ground and expired. His antagonist was wounded
in the armpit, but not dangerously.
The ouweekr de Lyon of the 28th states that the

situation of the silk trade in that city is very dull at
present, in consequence of the high price of the raw

material, and from the manufacturers receiving bat
few orders from Paris or the United States, in woes•
quence of the high price demanded. The maaatw
curers of figured silks form the only exception to this
date of depression, as they have been and still COI
done to ha well employed.

Count de Montalembert having published a pam-
phlet entitled " Pie IX et Lord Palmerston," Cardinal
Bonnet, Archbishop of Bordeaux, hes addressed to
the writer a letter, in which he states that the emo-
tion produced by the publication of the protocol of
the Bth April still exists in the hearts of all sin-
cerely religions persons; and in which he expresses
his indignation at the audacious notes of Sardinia
and the loud declamations of England. Mgr.
bonnet congratulates the writer on having pointed
out the predominating principles of public right, the
independence of the secondary states, and the treaties
on which the balance of power in Europe reposes.
The cardinal, in encouraging the count to persevere,
sap to him :—" Yon possess that language which the
world expects from one who is in a position to make
himself clearly heard—the language of Catholic
France."

IN TUSCANY.

We read in a letter from Florence to the Corr'.
yondance Damns ;

Tim muss has given occasion to a remarkable display of
the inquisitorial balance of the clergy, encouraged and
supported as they ere by the government. The priests have
side the tour of all the dwellings, and have ler, at sash
►ouse a number of tickets corresponding with the number
of palms in the family. Each ticket is to be restored to
the rod whoa the individual who has received it goes to
oolasenoion. The priests thus obtain an awn estimate of
number of Tommie who abetaia from attandisg acasstanion.

The Hats we Owed by the priests is the hands of the police
authorities, end the perms who figure as absentees at once
become the objects of vexatious surveillance sod inter-
