PARIS, MomAy EVINING.

The Duchess of Alba, sister to the Empress,
died at half-past 8 o'clock last evening, at her resi-
dence in the Champs Elysies, after a long and
painful illness. She was only thirty-four years of
age, and leaves three children with the duke her
husband to lament her loss. It is supposed that
this melancholy event, which the Emperor and
Empress can only know of on their landing in
Algeria, will alter the arrangements for the imperial
progress in that colony.
The government has thought fit to prohibit the
subscription for the monument to Lieutenant De
Flotte. This interdiction will perhaps be stigma-
tised as mean and paltry, but I think it may be
justified, or at least excused, as a measure of self-
preser•ation. The prestige of Garibaldi's name
increases every hour in immense proportions, and
in no part of the world is it more influential than
in the faubourga of Paris. It is no light matter
to allow public opinion to associate with his glory
the name of one of the most prominent martyrs of
the coup d'etat. The principle for which Garibaldi
is fighting with hitherto uninterrupted success—
the principle for which De Flotte died—is diame-
trically opposite to that which triumphed in Paris
in December, 1861. If the French people wore to
begin to suppose that the principles of the coup
d' not have nearly had their day the consequences
might be tremendous. Of course, it were to be
wished for the sake of the French government that
it should have felt strong enough to take no notice
of the demonstration, but it must be the best judge
of its own strength.
The new number of the Revue Coutemporaine
makes the following practical reflections on the fall
of the King of the Two Sicilies :

What a striking lesson for all despotic powers! The
Neapolitan king wmated none of those excuses for blindcon-
Mance upon which all similar governments rely. He had
a strong army as oomparod with any of the neighbouring
states, the best navy in Italy, an able administration, and
a police improved to a fearful degree of perfection. More.
over, he enjoyed that sort of popidarity which the multi-
tude so easily accords and so lightly withdraws ; and he
may well have had faith hi the tic-chum/lion, with which the
larzaroui hailed the restoration of his father's absolute
power. The only thing that he had out was the concurrence of
that class of society which, although numerically small, is
enlightened, and only give' its support to an intelligent
and liberal government, and whose adhesion—although
the must difficult to obtain—is also the most
useful and the most lasting. The defection of
this clam curtailed that of every other. The hostility of
the intelligent classes gradually spread throughout the
country, and at length a little leaven leavened the whole
lump. The multitude changed its idol, and the same voices
which not long since vociferated for Ferdinand 11., now
readily cry, "Garibaldi for ever." The army which,enuwating
from the ranks of the people, reflects, as is ever the caLe,
popular feeling saw iu the new regime new prospects and
hopes. It was then perceived, but too late, that it is folly
to rely upon brute force against intelligence, and to attempt
to govern a country without the assent of its leading men.
The proximate muse of the fall of the King of Naples was
the desertion of his troops and the apathy of
his people. But his army would not have be-
trayed, and his people Ironed not have abandoned
him, had it not been that they were irresistibly
drawn into the current of opposition by the enlighten: d
classes which rebelled against a system of government
incompatible with the progressive Wees of the age in which
we live. No government can now violate with impunity
those general lawmthe forgetfulness of which has ruined the
Neapolitan Bourbons. Rulers must of necessity reckon
with the enlightened classes, and admit them to a due share
in the direction of public affairs. If they refuse to do this,
they provoke the tuaiuiosity of enemies against whom armies
eau do nothing, and whose intimate in the long run will get
the better even of the fanaticism of the masses.

The 13ourse was dull, but rather firm. A rumour
of the possibility of the congress was supposed to
have sustained the funds. The Itente rose 10c.
for cash and sc. for account, closing at (qtr. 95e.
in each case. Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. The Lyons
Railway ruse 31r. 73c., and the other liues were
about lir. 26c. higher.
