PARIS, T TIMMY EVISISCI.

The Monde's., in announcing that the Paris Con-
ference held its eighteenth sitting yesterday, omits
the restricted words which it lies ',Wrests used, "to
consider the question of the Danubian Principali-
ties." The inference drawn is, that the navigation
of the Danube was the sutjeot of yesterday's delibe-
rations. The Petrie of th;s evening believes itself
able to state the " Conferences are term:nated," and
that the plenipotentiaries will "probably" meet on
Thursday to sign the conventions (in the plural
number) agreed to. The Pays also speaks of the
next meeting u likely to take place on Thursday (not
to-day or Wednesday, as was at first thought), but
it speaks of only one convention to be signed.
These accounts from journals of equal authority do
not agree. I feel it very difficult to be-
lieve that the meeting of Thursday can be
the hut, or that there is any chance of
the question of the Danube navigation being
settled so soon. On the contrary I have every
reason to believe that the majority of the plenipo-
tentiaries have notified to M. de Hubner alterations
which they desire to have made in the Riverian
Convention, and have required an answer within •
certain fixed time. The Conference will doubtless
sign the Convention (*rimming the Principalities on
Thursday, but they will then probably adjourn to
wait for Austria's answer.

The following telegram received to-day is ri
epitome of the official accounts of the Emperor's
triumphal progress in Brittany :
Saint 111 ions, Aug. 17, 7b. Wm.
Napoleouville, Aug. 16.

From this day dates the read conqaest of Brittany by the
Napoleon dynasty. Between Vannes and Napoleonville we
mat ten thousand Bretons wearing the 'xi-coloured eoekade—
upwards of sight hundred of them were on horseback. The
Emperor is puffing them in review. hisextficatt type of the
whole tour

The Constitortionnsi, by way of offering conclusive
evidence of the extraordinary success of the Empe-
ror's visit to Brittany, calls attention to a fact which
it would scarcely have occurred to any one to doubt,
that amidst all the vast crowds through which his
Majesty passed "not a single voice was heard to
utter anything but protestations of the most abso-
lute respect and devotion."
The Moniteur notices that on August 14 the Cor-
rectional Tribunal of St. Etienne sentenced ten intn-
viduals to various terms of imprisonment, varying
from three months to two years, for "belonging to
a secret society, being possessed of munitions of war,
uttering seditious cries, &c." Only two of the names
of the individuals are stated, and no report of what
passed at their trial is given.
The London organ of the peace-at-any-price prrty
supposes that the pamphlet to which I alluded on
Saturday must have been discovered in some
"French Holywell-street." It wrs, in fact, pub-
lished by Dente, of the Palais Royal, a publisher
who enjoys at least all the respectability which
the patronage of court writers can confer, for
from his press have issued pamphlets by M.
de la Ouerronnidre and other", which are
confessedly official. Moreover, so far from my
having " discovered" the pamphlet in question in
some obscure and disreputable part of the town, I
found it staring me in the face in the windows of
the Librairie Nouvelle, one of the most conspicuous
bookshops on the broad causeway of the fashionable
Boulevard des 'Wiens. I may mention, by the way,
that your contemporary evidently confounds the
pamphlet which I noticed, " Aprons eons is Glaerre
avec l'Angleterre," with another written in the
same spirit, " Cherbourg et Angleterre," which hap-
pened to be analysed on the same day in the Buis
correspondence of another journal. The two pro-
ductions are so mach alike that the mistake is not
to be wondered at. The leading idea of both is an
appeal to universal suffrage in England by a French
invading army, and the arguments need in support
of the project are very much the same. That one
should be mistaken for the other is strong evidence
that both have a common origin, and that the
authors, whether anonymous or avowed, do not
express " isolated opinions of eccentric individuals,"
but are literary men of straw writing to order.
The Bourse hasbeen more anim►ted than on any day
since the first symptoms of the recent revival began
to show themselves. It is evident that the public look
upon the war pamphlets as nothing but the idle
exuberance of impotent malice. The Refute rase SOc.

M. Sabatier, Consul-Oeneral of France at Alexan-

ceed to Jeddah to make investigations respecting the
recent outrage. He is at present In the Pyrenees,
on leave of absence, but is to embark at Marseilles
in a few days for Egypt, on his way to bis
