PARTS, MONDAY ETIMING.

The news given by the Nord of Brussels, without
any reserve, that two Frisch ships of war have
left Toulon to make a hostile demonstration in the
Tagus elitism" the King of Portugal, on account of
the refusal of the Portuguese government to pay
an indemnity for the seizure of the Nantes mer-
chantman, George Charles, by the authorities' of
Mozambique, has not prodnoedthilearins—V—aon
here. It bad no effect upon the Bourse, which, as
will be seen below, wee brilliant, and most persons
discredit the story altogether. The Pays, however,
reproduces the news without throwing any doubt
upon it, and it is to be observed that two first-class
ships, the Donawerth and the Austerlitz, did leave
foul= on September 28, for an unknown destina-
tion.

Priem Napoleon returned to Paris yesterday from
his visit to the Czar of Russia, and left at once for
the Chalons camp, to give, as some my, an account
to the Emperor of the " result of his mission."
The 11 on! fixes Oct. 19 as the date of the Duke
of Malakoff's marriage. But I warmly think that
the Emperor, who certainly means to be present on
the occasion, will have returned to Paris from
Chalons quite so soon. The lath is a more probable
day. It is decided that the court will pass the re-
mainder of the fine season at Compiegne, but there
will not be so many invitations as there were last
year.

The slight hesitation which was felt at the Bourse
during the settlement completely vanished to-day,
and the upward movement pursued its course with
scarcely a check. Mosley wee abundant and stook
scarce. The Relate rose 30c. for cash and 36e. for
aemumt, clesingat 73fr. 83e. and 74 fr. 06c. ; Mobilier
rose 32fr. 60c. Inquiries were made for Credit Foncier
shares in eonseqbence Of.the publication In the Mons.-
taw of the decree giving effect to the bill peered by
the Corps Legislatif for enabling the Credit !remise
to lend money for the purposes of drainage, bat the
shares of this company in the market are so few
that scarcely any business was done. Railways
were generally firm, but as the attention of specu-
lators was mainly concentrated in the Rents and
Credit Mobilise, the ries in quotations scarcely ex-
ceeded 2fr. 30e. in any instance; Eastern fell Mr.,
sod Orleans 26. 600.

At the trial of the engineers and others accused
of negligence in the affair of the late accident on
the St. Germain Railway, M. de Lapeyriere, the
managing director of the Western Company, wee
called as a witness. He did not answer to his name,
and, after a pease, M. Visas, Lambe, the barrister,
said that M. de Lapeyridre was detained in Paris by
duties which he considered paramount. To this
cavalier answer to the subpcona the judge replied,
with dignity and warmth, " M de Lapsyridre has
been summoned to attend here personally, and
among his duties as a director we know of nose
more imperative than that of obedience to the call
of a wart of juitioe." M. Lefranc rejoined, with a
malicious twinkle in his eye, " But what if the
obstacle proceeded from a 'aweigh order concern.
ing a train in which the Sovereign propane to take
a seat? That is just the ease." The judge sat
rebuked and silent. This trial will not be over till
a late hour this evening.
The Culogne 9asetts says that the Austrian
Lloyd's Company of Trieste are preparing to resist
the competition of the Russian steam-boats with all
their strength. The company, it is said, intend to
reduce their prices, and to mats other large conces-
sions to trade. It is thought that they must be
barked by the promise of a state subvention. It
appears, however, that the directors of the Austrian
Lloyd's are by no means at one on the subject, sad
that several of them propose to sell the sixty
steamers which the company possesses to the
Russians.
