EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(swag ova Owx ooszieroranorr.)

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Menacer announces that the gardens on the
south-east and north-east of the Louvre, extending
from the Apollo gallery opposite the river to the
parallel gallery in the Rue Ricoh, have been thrown
open to the public by order of the Emperor. This
is a very important addition to the public prome-
nades of Paris. These gardens are quite new.
There are numerous lawns and flower-beds in ad-
mirable order, in the midst of which meats are placed
for the accommodation of the public. The boon is

probably intended se a compensation for the lose of
a portion of the Tuileries' garden.

The Correspondance Battier, which has a con-
siderable circulation in the departments, mentions as
a fact a orthy of notice, that at the Salon des Am-
bamadeurs, a cafe chantant, exactly opposite Lord
Cowley's garden-gate in the Champs Elyseest the
orchestra played the other night the celebrated air
from the opera of Charles VI.:

Non, non jams's en Franoe
Josonto l'Anglais no r4rnara.

This air, it affirms, hu never be'ore been played in
France for the last ten years, and in order to give
more point to the observation, it adds that the per-
formances at these open air concerts are " very
strictly watched by authority." The inference,
therefore, is irresistible, that the same influences
which prompt Id. Renee of the Constitutionnel,
M. Louis Veuillot of the Univers, and M. de
Calonne of the Revue des Deux Mendes, to endea-
vour to light up the uhes of old animosity between
England and France, have now encouraged the
revival of this song. I repeat in the most emphatic
manner what I have before stated, that there is no
hostile feeling against England among the people of
France, and that the assertions that the govern-
ment is likely to have any difficulty in preventing
the nation from making war upon us, are pure in-
ventions resorted to by particular individuals, for
purposes best known to themselves.

The Moniteur de la Flotte, the organ of the
Ministry of Marine, has been instructed to throw
discredit upon the statements of the croakers in the
English House of Commons who habitually allege
that our coast defences are insufficient. It says:

At every discussion in the House of Commons on the
navy estimates, we find that, in spite of the various coatis-
dictory opinions expressed by mambas, all the pants asked
by the ministers are voted, while the cabinet is implored to
place the meat, ports, and commerce of Old England once
for all in a state of defence. As a raise, the naval prepara-
tions made by other countries, end principally by Prance,
are vigorously described, and this policy never falls to create
the desired effect. This rem is reproduced every year with
complete success, sad it is thus that the British fleet attains
annual development. In this year's debate, very grave enters
held forth on the possibility in an invasion of the shores of Old
England, which have been imprudently left without protection
from the insults of a foreign soldiery. Have, then, the Eng-
lish fleets vanished from the ocean which they ploughed in
every direction? Have the dockyard. of Portsmouth, Pem-
broke, Devonport, &c., &c., been destroyed, and the work-
men discharged ? What has become of the Mediterranean Beet
and of that of the Channel ? Wo can relieve the anxiety of
those who are alarmed at the fate of the English squadron in
the Mediterranean, in which are serving comrades and
friends of our officers of the Crimea and the Baltic. That
squadron is still in existence. (Oar contemporary here enu-
merates the formidable fleet of Lord Lyons.) The Coast
Guard service bee been completed, and an exact idea may be
formed of the circle of iron and steam which encloses the
English coast by the following statistics. (Here follows a
detailed enumeration of the vessel of war In or out of com-
mission, blockahips, &c., &c., devoted to the protection of
the coast.) We trust that these details will enlighten them
persons on this aide of the Channel who have treated in a
serious light the parliamentary complaints respecting the
inability of the British naval forces to meet every eventuality
that may arim.

The Bourse, which opened rather heavily, was
firmer at the close in consequence of news from Lon-
don that France and Euglaud were agreed about
the Danubian Principalities, and that the Cagliari
question was as good as settled. The Rents rose
15e. for cash and 10e. for account, closing at
69fr. 15c. and 69fr. 65c. Mobilier rose 32fr. 50c.
The Northern, Eastern, and Lyons railways rose
from 2fr. 50c. to Mr.; and the other principal lines
remain with little change. Graisseesac and Beaiers
fell 25fr. in consequence of a lawsuit in which the
company is involved.

A letter from Berlin of the let, in the Hamburg
News, says:—" The Volkszeitung has been seized,
and it now appears that proceedings have beau in •
stunted against it for publishing an offensive article
against the Emperor Napoleon. It consisted prin-
cipally of quotations from the pleadings of Mr.
James at the trial of Bernard."

The Empress Eugenie yesterday completed her
32nd year.

This being the anniversary of the death of
Napoleon 1., there wu the usual pr cession of old
soldters of the empire from the Invalides to the
column in the Place Vendome.

The following telegraphic despatches have been
received here :

MARIEILLE/, MAT 5.
The Avast &Orient says that the Porte persists in its
resolution not to allow the treaties to be submitted to the
Greek tribunals, but that it does not threaten Greece with
any rupture, even ■ commercial one.

Letters from Persia of April 3 state that 30,000 Persians
bad beaten the Turcomans, and were hying siege to the
capital. The English envoys were expected.

VIENNA, MAY 6.
