THE BOUND DUES:

A Utter from Berlin, in the Bore/oleo& of Ham-
burg, oar :--" According to accounts from Copen-
hagen, England, Pinola, and Prance have mate to sa
arrangement respecting the settlement of the Bound
Dues. The draft of the treaty son to Paris bad not
bon approved of by England, although it had met
the views of Prods and France. England proposed
several modifieations, which were fret ccasented to
by Prods, and subsequently by France. The affair
will consequently, it is believed, be promptly brought
to a concludea."

The Giorowde di Rams of the 10th states that the
be** far 1867, presented by the Papal Minister of
Finance to the Consults, fixes the receipts at
12,816,441 Nadi and the expenditure at 13,283,960
midi (the wadi is 6fr. 36e.), showing a deficit of
487,608 soudi, whkdt, added to the reserve fund,
makes a total deficiency of 687,608 Nadi. To meet
this, the Minister proposes to suspend the operation
of the sinking had for another year, to sell certain
property of the State, sad, in ease of nacomity, to
contract a loan.

PARIS, 110111DLY EVISIZIte.
The Emperor and Primo Frederick William of
Prussia left Paris at nine o'clock this morning for
Fontainebleau, on a hunting expedition. They will
sleep then to-night, and will probably return to
Paris tomorrow evening. Lord Cowley is among
the personages invited to join the party.
It is confidently stated that the Emperor will pay
his long contemplated visit to Algeria in the spring,
but the realisation of this prefect most of course do.
pond upon the state of Europe, and other cireum-
stases..

There is a seniors difference of opinion between the
Prefect of the Seine end the twelve mayors of Paris,
with regard to the disposal of the funds in the
Bureaux de Bienfaiseace, the prefect desiring to put
them altogether and then divide them equally among
the poor of th• twelve arrondissements, while the
mayors insist that each arrondissement shall benefit
exaltudvely by the feuds subscribed within it. My
informant goes so far as to my that all the mayan of
Paris have tendered their resignations.

The Bourse has been very iepreseed today. The
Bente opened heavily, and, notwithstanding a smart
resistance during the first half-hoar, quotations con-
tinued declining all day. A report that Switzerland
had Nat to London aid Paris an energetic note
orbit the pretensions of Prude, was considered
very serious. The Beats fell 600. for clash, and 55e.
for acontat, closing at 66k. 500., and 66k. 750. fdo-
biller fell 36k. The railways wereall lower, the fall
being generally from Ilk. to 10k.
The Pays, observing upon the gravity of the state
of affain in Persia, says that the really important
question of the moment is to know whether the
allies of Penis will lend her an effective support.
If Russia were to transport an army to Astrabed,
which she might do ins few hours by means of her
flotilla in the Caspian Sea, the Into m of the En-
glish expedition would be extremely doubtful. but
then the consequences of such a step on the part of
Ramis would be very serious, and might
" perhaps lead to en open nears between
England and Ressia.". The Pays hopes
that this extremity will be avoided, but
it thinks that the solution of the difficulty depends
entirely upon the cabinet of St. Petersburg. Persia,
it admit', has, by taking Herat, most undoubtedly
broken its engagements with England, and can only
re-establish friendly relations with that power by
giving up the conquest. Bat whether she will aban-
don it or not depends entirely " upon the counsels
the Shah may receive from Russia, and conse-
quently it is only upon the wisdom of the Emperor
Alexander that we can rely to stifle in the bad com-
plications the consequences of which it is impossible
to measure."

The Constantinople correspondent of the Pays
thinks that the conferences going on between the
Persian ambeseador, Perak Khan, and Lord Stratford
de &deli& will not lead to any arrangement. The
Proses letters of the same date (Dec. 5) say that,
although Fmk Khan's powers were, as has teen
repressated, exceedingly large, he found, on hearing
Lord de Redcliffe's demands, that he must refer to
Teheran for further instructions. The time
neosseary for obtaining an answer will be very
bog at this season of the year, and In the
interval the &mien expedition will pursue hostile
operations. The Prism adds that it appears to be
certain that Feruk Khan will not come to France so
long as the Aoglo•Penisn difference remains un-
settled. Although this latter nem is given very
positively by the correspondent of the Pram, I have
some reason to doubt its accuracy, for it is said here
this evening that an attaché of the Minister of the
Interior has already left Paris for Marseilles to meet
the Persian ambassador, who is expected then very
8000.

With the exemition of the addition of the Dab of
Malakoff to the list of Vioe-Preeidento of the Senate,

the composition of the bureaux of the Senate and

to-day, is the same as that of the last session.
To-day a rams was said in the chapel of the lava-
fides in commemoration of the entry of the remains

'of Napoleon the Great into Paris. About fifty
old soldiers of the empire, dressed in uniforms
of the period, attended. Alter mats they
proceeded in a body, with beat of dram,
to the Place Vendome, where they marched
round the column, some of them depositing insmor-
tslios on the railings. The day being extremely fine,
a good many people followed them. One could net
help being struck with the excessive newness of the
uniforms, most of which are, however, supposed to be
upwards of forty years old. The fact is, that instead
of the "youthful hose well saved," these Vie= debris
fer the most part wore spick and span new dresses,
paid for by the Emperor, the effect of which wad to
give many of the wearers such a youthful appear-
saes, that it was scarcely possible to credit the real
dates of their services.
In the Paris cora market last week, the demand
for flour was at first somewhat more active, and prices
in consequence were held more firmly ; but es the
buyers evidently looked for lower prices, business
ease almost to a stand stilL The four marks were
offered at 79fr. and 80fr. the 159 kilogrammes. The
reserve at the Halle remains at about 9,000 metrical
quintals (of 22111b5. each). ►heat remains in Paris
at the prices of the preceding week, though the quota-
tions from the provisoes have come, with very little
exception, a little lower. At Marseilles, however,
there has been a slight advance, demands for Spain
being continued.
