(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
Of political news there is none to send today; but
I have been assuredin a well informed quarter, that
in the sitting of the Congress yesterday everything
went off very satisfactorily, and that la situation is at
this juncture favourable in every respect. In this
city the hopes of peace are again in the ascendant.
Count Orloff is, it appears, a somewhat eccentric
character ; in speaking he gesticulates violently,and
strange to say, his gesticulations are not always in
accord with his language. Thus in the Congress he
speaks generally in the most conciliatory language
possible, and yet he thumps the table as if he were
in a violent passion. Even when talking to the
Emperor he every now and then bangs his fist on
the table !
Orders have been Given to the tradesmen and
householders on the Boulevards and in the prin-
cipal streets, to deck their houses with flags on the
occasion of the delivery of the Empress.
Prince Jerome, the Emperor's Uncle, had a
relapse last night, and is now very seriously ill,
indeed.
The Berlin newspapers say that M. Manteuffel,
the prime minister, is to come to Paris to take part
in the Congress. He may come to Paris, but it is
denied by a semi-official paper that he will be
allowed to take part in the Congress.
The Euphrate has arrived at Marseilles to-day,
with Constantinople news to the 3d. They confirm
the news of great sickness prevailing in thelFrench
army in the Crimea ; the number of sick sent to
Constantinople was so great that the English
military doctors had been obliged to offer to attend
them. The English army, 50 000 strong, had been
Passed in review at Balaklava.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE

The uncle of the Emperor, Prince Jerome, is in
a most precarious condition. The following bul-
letin was issued during the day, on Tuesday, at the
Palais Royal :
" MARCH 11., 8 A.M.—The inflamation of the
chest has increased, and the situation of the Prince
has become much worse. A fresh blister has been
applied on the upper part of the chest."
From inquiries at a much later hour than the
one mentioned in the last bulletin, it would appear
that the infiamation has increased, and that the
condition of the Prince has become most alarming.
Indeed it was reported an hour or two ago that
there was not much hope of saving him. His death
would cast a gloom over the two important events
the public are in expectation of—the proclamation
of peace, and the birth of a Prince. Prince Jerome
had a dinner party last Wednesday, and a reception
in the evening, and it was remarked that for a long
time past he had not appeared in better health or
spirits. On the following day he dined at the
Tuileries, and it was on Friday evening he was
seized with his present dangerous illness. Invita-
tions for another dinner party and for a reception
for to-morrow had been sent out.

It has been stated in some journals that the Em-
peror was not well. Such is not the case—the
health of his Majesty is excellent. The state of the
Empress is in every way satisfactory. The impor-
tant event is looked forward to as likely to occur
at any hour.
A letter from Rome of the sth, in the Debats,
says :—Rumours are current that Cardinal Alfieri
will go to Paris to represent the Pope as godfather
to the infant of the Emperor at the ceremony of
the baptism, but others think it probable that
there will not be any special envoy, the Nuncio in
Paris executing the mission.
