PARIS. THURSDAY BURNING.

I have heard from a good source that the Emperor
intends to publish a general political amnesty on
August 15. Continental amnesties, miscalled
general, are frequently clogged with so many excep-
tions as to amount to nearly nothing. But, if lam
rightly informed, the one now about to oome out
will be altogether unrestricted, and will, fee example,
enable General Changarnier, Colonel Charms, Louis
Blanc, and even Ledru Rollin, to return to France if
they think fit without any conditions.
The hope that the Zurich Conference would sign
a definitive peace this week seems to be abandoned,
for I hear that their first act will be a prolongation
of the armistice. We learn by telegraph that there
was no sitting to-day, and it appears that in the
previous sittings the Sardinian plenipotentiary took
no part.

The report that the Emperor would head the
troops on Sunday from the St. Maur camp through
the Faubourg ht. Antoine is again contradicted,
and the programme, according to which
he will go as far as the Butille to meet
them, is revived. It is said that immediately
after the filing past, which, as announced from the
first, will certainly take place in the Place Yen-
dime, the troops will return to the St. Maur camp,
and there be regaled with a monster banquet at the
expense of the city of Paris.
The Press, draws particular attention to the offen-
sive paragraph in M. Granier de Cassagnac's article
in the Pays which I translated yesterday, and cha-
racterises it as one little calculated to do away with
" the susceptibilities and apprehensions which were
for a moment soothed in England."
Almost all the English papers, morning and even-
ing, were detained at the Net-office today. Up to
4 o'clock they had not been delivered at any of
the reading•raoms. I have since heard that the
Times has been released. Probably some of the
other papers were impounded on the same account,
and have been released also. I do not suppose,
however, that the revocation of the edict of confisca-
tion will apply to poor Putsch, which the French
police very seldom allows us to see.
The Bourse opened with great heaviness, and the
Rents went down to 691'r. 30c., but there was a
sudden reaction in the afternoon, and the closing
prices were 69fr. 36c. for cash and 69fr. 700. for
account, being in the first cue a fall of 10c., and in
latter a rise of 10c. Mobilier closed without change.
Railways were from 2fr. 60c. to 6fr. lower.
The King of Sardinia has sent the Grand Cordon
of the Order of the Annamoiado to Count Walew.ki.
