THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1856.

artkde which complain of the

" most absurd reports and the most odious salumnies"
wbioh certain parties circulate in Frances
We ova understand, though we count puticipate I• the
Irritation of the Coisseirsieirousel, for we bare never read
anywhere a word of the edematous news to which it alludes.
Oa the contrary, we have oft been struck with the extreme
respect sad consideration with which the journals speak of
all sorts of functieseries, from the " ranthait to the best,"
as the Conecturiomsol has it, sod eves down to the humblest
garde Momper*.

After thus bearing witness to the good discipline
which prevails among the French journals. the
Assembile alludes pleasantly, u follows, to the system
of seising foreign ones whenever they contain any-
thing displeasing to any body in office :
We can neither contradict the Corwitationna, nor add
oar testimony to its own. We have never read either in the
&relish or Garman journals the attacks which have irri-
tated the Cottaritutiorwwl. Bet it has very often happened
that foreign new. papas addressed to us hays miscarried,
and, possibly, it may be jut those very miming numbers
which contained the statements that ken caused so much
emotion.

The Bourse has been better to-day than for along
time peat. The Rents was very steady without rising
sufficiently to tempt any heavy sales. It closed firm
at 67k. for cash, and 66k. 9&c. for account—rising
360. and 16c. Mobilise raw 16fr. The railway
market was very firm. The principal lines rose from
10fr. to 20k.

It was said at the Bourse that the political news
was very good, and that Russia was prepared to give
up both the Bolgrad question and that of the Isle of
Serpents. It is understood that the prohibition against
the negotiation of new foreign securities on the
Bourse, which certais parties had hoped might be
taken off on January 1, will be continued.
the Independence Belo says that M. de Morny
has been recalled from St. Petersburg. This news,
although not yet officially admitted in Paris, seems
very probable, since was of the count's horses, car-
riages, and furniture arrived yesterday at Havre.
Moreover, the order given to the Preach government
journals to writs against the Russian railway scheme
seems to show that his star is eclipsed for the mo-
ment.

In common with many other correspondent', both
English and foreign, I was led into an error last week
when I announced that Prince Cain had arrived in
Paris from London, and that M. Antonini had gone
to Brussels. The facts were so stated in a semi-
official correspondence, bat it turns out that they
were not true. It has ken rumoured within the
last day or two that the Neapolitan affair may per-
haps be arranged without the ambassadors quit-
ting London and Paris respectively. On the
other hand, it is asserted by the Independence
that a political caricature of a character extremely
menacing to Naples, which was published in the
Charreari of Saturday, appeared with the express
sanction of the French government. This caricature
is so droll that I will attempt to describe it. Two
sailors, one French and one English, are leaning
somas a table with a dish of maccaroni before them.
A representation of Vesuvius in the back-ground
leaves no doubt as to the locus in quo. The maccaroni,
it appears, sticks to the dish, and the English sailor
says to the French one," Mon am►, it last meths la
main a la pale; le macaroni ne rest pas filer."
(Friend, we must put our hands in the dish; the
maccaroni won't come away.) There are two inter-
pretations of this lea d'aprit. One—and this appears
to me the most obvious—is that since the ambas-
sador' do not demand their passports, they must be
sent to them. But some people fancy that the adhe
sive maccaroni is typical of the King of Naples him-
self, and that he must be displaced by force.
Count Kisseleff, the Russian ambassador, paid a
visit in state this afternoon to Prince Jcrome Napo-
leon, at the Pales Royal.
Prince Pierre Bonaparte, whose arrival at Mar-
seilles has been announced, embarked on Friday for
Corsica.

I understand that M. Balla, the sub-prefeot of
Bar-sur-Aube, has been appointed chef de division
in the department of the press at the Ministry of the
Interior, vim M. Petit, resigned.

Roesini has decided to fix his residence in Paris.
He has taken an apartment at No. 2, Chanute
d'Antin, the corner of the Boulevard, at the rent of
10,000 fr. a year.

The Paris corn market, during the past week, has
continued inactive, and prices have scarcely varied.
The four marks were at 81f. As the price of bread
now rates lower, great circumspection is shown by
purchasers for the future, and uo more tlaur is bought
than is absolutely required. The country markets all
tend downwards, though not with any appearance of
rapidity. Wheat was not abundant on Wednesday,
and higher priors were sated than during the pre-
ceding week. On Saturday, however, the h3lders,
finding that their pretensions were not acquiesced in,
were obrged to sell at former prices, that is, without
any advance. Wheat from Picardy was sold for
42f. 80c. the 120 kilogrammes, but very little business
was transacted.

Oa Monday there wu a rise of from lfr. to 2fr.
in the markets of Faris and Ma:miller.
