A puzzling event has occurred to-day. The
Pram, the leading war journal, the supposed organ
of Priam Napoleon, has received a warning ter an
article of precisely the same tenor as those whisk it
has been publishing for the lest Nix weeks. The
warming, which is aimed by H. Dating* can to
have bees drawn up ender a very present imprensim
of the wisdom of the proverb, " the least said the
soonest waded" It wisely abstains from the im-
palas task of lasting oat in what respect the
' ieseadwated prodastisa Mims fees the ether esea-
' meateeles whisk have been daily tolerated sad
easeareged apes the new year's mesa to IL de
Hamer, whisk has sent down the Fres& funds 7
per sea. All that we learn upon the face of the
document is that the Preis le warmed on account
of ea artiste headed " La Crimp Icehouse," sad signed
" L. Lamm Leduc," sad that " the polemics of
this article are of a nature to sow unfounded appre-
hawker in the public mind.' Is or is not this, in
any ewe, wretched measure to be viewed is an in-
dioatisa of say important resolution taken at the
naafis' P Nobody knows. I subjoin • few =-
Mats from the article :

The late disastrous failures at Orleans are said to

Vaonier-Roger, the banter with whoee bankruptcy
the catastrophe commenced, has not been heard of
for a long while. Some say he has committed sui-
aide, and others that he has fled either to Belgium
or England.
M. Ferdinand de Leseeps leaves Paris this even-

Canal. A grand farewell dinner was given to him

Prince Jerome gives a grand ball at the Palais
Royal this evening in honour of his daughter-in-

Theban at the Hotel de Ville on Monday night was
exceedingly brilliant. The decorations alone cost no
lem than 10,0004 sterling. The famous marble
court wu lined with artificial vines bearing black
and white (snits, and the bubbling fruntaine
and profusion of fresh flowers showed the
oft-enchanted palace wit► a power of magic never
serpamadi. It was, however, mistakenly announced
in the jaernale that the number of invit►tions was
very limited. They extended, we now learn, to
10,000, whereas 8,000 is a very large average num-
ber. I really think that every person asked must
have gone either in person or by a representative,
for I never before saw the rut rooms so thronged.
For two or three hours it was impossible to get away
from the crowd, and people sighed in vain for those
carpeted inland:a in side rooms which on former m-
aim affaded a ready refuge from the press of the
ball-reasa. The Emperor and Empress were ex li
-
posted, bat did not come. Prince Napoleon and
the Princess Clotilde arrived at 11 o'clock—an hour
nesnewhat late, considering that the cards of invi-
tation were hued for half-past g. For upwards of
two hours the company assembled in the
grand ball-room remained eluding is a mord,
