EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(1110 u OUR OWN

PARIS, TUESDAY EVITC(C.

The mot d'ordre seems to have been given to
accredit the news that the two Emperors at Salz-
burg talked of nothing but peace, and that no
alliance was proposed by either of them. The
Haves agency, which in several telegrams variously
worded harps upon this theme, can of course know
nothing of the conversation between the two
sovereigns beyond what one or the other of them
may have chosen to hint with a view to
publicity. Probably all the despatches are
founded upon mere conjecture. It is not)
difficult to guess that there will be no alliance'
against Prussia. The alliance is " sour grapes"
for France. The war journals console them-
selves for the peaceable tenor of the telegrams
by observing that according to a recent Moscow
Gazette every war is preceded by the most emphatic
peaceful professions. This much is certain, that
the reiterated assertions of the Pattie that there
was nothing political in the visit is not true. M.
de !oust, the Austrian prime minister, has had
twos-interviews with Napoleon 111. It was also
unties that the visit was to be one of pure condo-
lend' and marked by deep mourning. There are
theatrical entertainments, and all sorts of galas for
the amusement of the sovereigns.
The Liberti says, of course " under all reserve,"
that when the French Emperor passed through
Augsburg the excessive zeal of certain Bavarian
agents to procure him plaudits had the effect of
provoking some disagreeable manifestations similar
to thew which the Czar (exceptionally) met with
in Paris. There is, however, no shade to the pio-
ture given by the Moniteur and semi-official tele-
gram* of the Emperor Napoleon's reception.
According to them wherever he showed his face
in Germany ho was enthusiastically received by
the people. These chroniclers disregard the wise
maxim," keep probability in view."

ThelPope is said to have addressed an auto-
graph letter to the Emperor on the subject of the
openly-avowed projects of the Italian party of
action against Rome.

lcigra returned to Paris yesterday, and at
once resumed the direction of his legation.

The Prince Imperial having passed a long vaca-
tion at Lnchon, it is thought it will not be neces-
sary to send him to the seaside this autumn, and
that on his return to Paris from the Chalons
camp he will live at St. Cloud till the winter. It
is improbable, therefore, that the Emperor and
Empress will go to Biarritz this year. So much
the better for private persons on the look-out for'
lodgingi there.
The news from Spain is very meagre. Tele-
graphic communication is cut off from many places,
and private letters do not arrive with anything like
regularity. There are twenty different stories eur-
rent as to the present whereabouts of Prim. The
Epoque of this evening publishes as latest news that
31 villages in the valley of Aran have " pro-
nounced " for the movement in Catalonia ; that
General Contrairos, at the head of his carbines,
is recruiAing among the peasantry. Nothing is
known of the movements of General PieraZ, Mil-
len, and Ls Foire. The workmen of Barcelona still
refuse to return to their factories. The general
opinion is that an insurrection in Barcelona would
bring on a revolution.
The optimist journals, the Patrie and France,
assert that all the alarming intelligence that has
reached Paris describes not what is, but what was
to have been ; that the conspiracy hatched at
Brussels has failed, and that the stories current
are set about by Spanish refugees who have escaped
across the French frontiers. It is plain, however,
even from the admission of the Moniteur, that some-
thing serious has happened. French troops have
been sent to occupy positions all along the frontieri
line.

M. Bernet, the mayor of Marseilles, was elected
the other day a councillor-general, as a government
candidate, by a bare majority, after a most severe
contest. It is now complained by the municipal
council that for several days previous to the elec-
tion the mayor was so absorbed in his canvass as
entirely to neglect the duties of his mayoralty.
The ordinary session of the council which the pre-
feet had fixed to take place from the Ist to the
sth of August was not held. It was not till the
14th that the council was convoked, and then one
of the members, M. Bruno Martin, called atten-
tion to the conduct of the mayor, regretted that
for the sake of his own private interests he
should have grossly neglected the munici-
pal business of the city, and stated that
most of the functionaries under him had been
taken from their desks to act as electoral agents.
A motion was made which the mayor desired to
have split into two. Fourteen councillors to
eight voted that the division should not be made,
and then the mayor refused to put the question at
all and dissolved the meeting. Great anxiety is
felt at Marseilles to know what will be the result.
It is evident that the nominated mayor and the
elected municipal council, cannot go on together. li
In all likelihood the government will cut the
knot of the difficulty by suspending the muni-
cipal council and then the affairs of the great
city of Marseilles will be managed like those of
Toulouse, Avignon, and many other places by a
a commission, who will merely obey orders with-
out reference to the wishes of the citizens.
The Bourse continues weak. There is scarcely
a fractional change in quotations.

Tax Lars MR. RARZY'S WILL.—A correspondent
has favoured us with a copy of the will of the famous Ame.
risen horse-tamer. The document is truly characteristic of
the deceased, inasmuch as special bequests are made of
several horses, whom he mentions by name and bequeaths
to various members of his family. The oelebrated hone
Cruiser, by the taming of whom he mainly made his reputa-
tion he leaves to his brother, Frederick Rarey ; but Cruiser
is not to be used for any other purpose than as • stallion,
nor for any purposes of exhibition, but he is to be kept and
remain on the farm where he now is, and within the stable
and enclosure now occupied by him, or similar ones, as
long as be lives. The will proceeds :—" The said stallion
Cruiser must be well taken care of by the said Frederick
Reny and hie heirs, end must never be sold by either my
said brother or any of his heirs. And I hereby make it a
special charge and incurubrance on all that part of my
homestead farm lying east of the canal, so long as my
said stallion Cruiser shall live, that the said enclosure
and stable now occupied and to be occupied by him on
the said part of the said farm shall be kept in good repair
and comfortable and safe condition, and that the said
Cruiser shall, as long as be lives, be furnished with
suitable and sufficient food and other prey:stens for his
comfort." He then provides that his brother, and any
sneesseor of his in the ownership of Cruiser, shall have
free access to Cruiser for the purpose of using him as •
stallion. It appears that Mr. Haney left a large property
is America, and his reinembnuice of a large number of
relatives shows that his heart was in the right piece.—
