(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, FRIDAY EVENI/4G

A grave piece of news has, I am informed, reached the
government to-day from Giurgevo, on the Danube. The
telegraph lines that pass by that place were set up by,
and belong to, the French, and a small body of French
soldiers is stationed there to protect the station. A few
days ago, whilst one of the soldiers was on duty as
sentinel, an Austrian officer went past, but the French-
man did not present arms. The officer called on the
soldier to pay him the respect which he said was due to
his grade, but the man refused. Thereupon the
Austrian struck him with a cane. The soldier
went in indignation to his superiors to complain
of the assault, and whilst he was doing so, some
Austrian soldiers forced their way into the guard.house.
A fray occurred, and the French soldier was killed. The
French Consul immediately complained to the Austrian
General commanding the district, and he placed the officer
who had caused the turmoil under arrest; and there the
matter, for the present, rests. Such, I am told, is the
substance of the report which the government has received
from its Embassy at Vienna.
It appears not improbable, that Count de Morny will,
after all, set out for St. Petersburg sooner than was
expected. According to a Paris letter in the Independance
of Brussels, he will leave as soon as Sunday, for Wilbad,
in Wurtemburg, where the Dowager Empress of Russia
has gone for the benefit of her health, and will pay his
respects to her en passant; but I hear that he will
probably hardly be able to leave so soon, inasmuch as
Count de Flahant, (who, according to common report,
stands in a very interesting relation to him, and who is at
present residing with the Count, in his official residence,
as President of the Legislative Body), is rather seriously

I referred a day or two back to something that was
said here, about the connection between Prince Jerome,
the Emperor's uncle, and the son of his first wife, Mrs.
Patterson, of the United States of America. I have
heard some thing further on the subject to-day :—lt
appears, that what M. Bonaparte, the son in question,
who lives in the United States, wants to do, is to have
his right to call himself Bonaparte, or in other terms, the
legitimacy of his mother's marriage, declared by the
French courts ; but this Old Jerome opposes,
because if it were granted, his second marriage
with a Wurtemburg Princess would be invalid,
and his favourite son, Napoleon, would be
illegitimate. If, on the other hand, Mr. Bonaparte's
pretensions were to be admitted, he would become His
Imperial Highness Prince (whatever his name may
be), and would be, in the event of the death of the little
Prince Imperial, and of his father Jerome, heir to the
throne of France! Such a prospect, saying nothing of
what he owes to the m‘onory of his mother, is enough to
make Mr. Bonaparte insist on his rights ; but there is, I
fancy, very little chance, indeed, that the servile courts
in France will admit them. It is said that the Emperor
is nut indisposed to encourage Mr. Bonaparte, in order to
spite his dearly beloved uncle and cousins, who have
shown him much more than once, and whom he
suspects to be no great friends to his little son; but it is
not likely that his Majesty will do anything calculated to
bring down additional scandal on the Bonaparte family,
for, in truth, enough attaches to it already !

The government has decided that apparatus for making
draining tiles, if complete, shall be admitted at the duty
of 15f the 100 kilos. Heretofore such apparatus has paid
one much higher.

Marshal Pelissier and the remaining troops from the
Crimea are to make a triumphal entrance into Paris.
A telegraphic despatch from Trieste says that an insur-
rection had broken out in the province of Yemen, and that
the Turkish Governnment was sending off troops to
quell it.
The Emperor of Russia has authorised the issue of two
series of Treasury Bills to the amount of 6,000,000 effective
roubles (very nearly a million sterling).
