PARIS, TVZSDAT EVLXIMO.

The Paris journals arc occupied with the Indian'
news, the undoubted gravity of which they have a
tendency to exaggerate. Scarcely anything
is said about the second elections for Paris,
to come off next Sunday, but preparations for
them arc doubtless going on actively in secret. The
journals which reluctantly concurred in the with-
drawal of MM. Gamier Pages and /testicle, publish
the names of the opposition candidates, MM. 011 i.
vier and Ilarimon, but without saying anything to
recommend them.
The Journal du Haut Rhin announces that an

"instruction" is commenced against the election of
M. Migeon, one of the few members of the last
chamber who were not recommended by the govern-
ment this time. Ile was retained by 17,025
votes, against 10,506 given to M. Nizole, the official
candidate. I can only suppose, that by the word
"instruction," it is meant to say that the govern-
ment is preparing materials for attacking the return
whenever the new chamber may be convoked.
There is not, so far as I am aware, any machinery
for contesting the validity of electoral proceedings
except before the house itself. Many of the opposi-
tion candidates will be extremely glad to sec a pre-
eedent of a strict scrutiny. If reports are to be
treated they have plenty of illegalities to bring for-
ward if they can only find a tribunal to investigate
them. Tlwre is some talk of a summer session of
the Corps Legislatif, expressly for the "verification
of powers."
The Count de Morny's arrival in Faris was an,
nounced by several journals on Sunday and Mon-
day, but the Courrisr as Paris now says that he
had not yet arrived this morning.
The fall continues at the Bounse. The Itente for
account closed heavily at 67fr. 46c., with a decline of
25e. Fur cash there was a rise of Sc., the last price
being 67fr. tide. Mobilier fell 251 r. In the rail-
way market some transactions were effected in the
new shares of the Lyons and Mediterranean fusion,
but otherwise business was very restricted. The lines
were quoted front Mr. to Mfr. lower.
The Moniteur Vitieok reports that from 1,000 to
1,200 casks of drugged wine have been seized in the
warehouses of one of the leading firms of Bordeaux.
The affair has produced a great sensation in the town.
A Paris letter, in the //dependance of Brussels,
says:
Tbo following is • fact the correctness of which I can
guarent, c. Lord Palmerston, two days ago, had a long con-
ference with Count de Per•iguy, when the English minister
pointed out to the French ambassador that the situation of
affairs in India was such that • considerable display of farce
had betonie necessary. His lordship added that it would
Le impossible for England to wad fresh reinforcements to
China, and demanded for this latter war, in use it should
continue, the arilve co-operation of France. Count de
Pi rsigny premised to transmit Lord Palsnerston's request
without delay to the Emperor. Will the British cabinet
succeed in obtaining the aid it asks fort that I cannot say.
What leads to the belief that everything that the Imperial
government can possibly do will be dens is the coastsatly
increasing good tuaderstanding between the two govern-
ments. I think I may now di part from the reserve I have
hitherto niaintained on the subject of the visit of the Ent-
pwor and Entprese to EngLmd; their Majesties will arrive
at the Ida of Wight on the 28th July, to pew a week at
Osborne Houma
