PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

The evening papers are instructed to contradict
an assertion which they attribute to a London
journal that the government of Turin has refused
the conditions imposed by France for the recogni-
tion of Italy. They add that France imposed no
"conditions," but simply made "reserves "—(take
a note of this diplomatic distinction)—and that
Count Vimercati is expected in Paris this evening
with the official acceptance of the French proposal.

The Bourse continues to be without the least
animation. The Rente closed at yesterday's price,
67fr. 85c. for the account, and at 67fr. 70c., with a
fall of 6c., for cash. The Lyons Railway rose
3fr. 75c.; the other lines are without change.

I hear that at a council of the Bank of France
the last proposals from Constantinople have been
rejected.
The Monde has got off very easily for its libel
upon the Credit Mobilier. 201. fine and 15 days'
imprisonment was thought by the court a sufficient
punishment, under the circumstances, for calling
the Mobilier a "gigantic gambling house," and
accusing its directors of " playing at the Bourse
contrary to their statutes, employing culpable
manoeuvres to ensure the success of their opera-
tions, abusing the advantages of their position to
speculate for their own profit, and to the prejudice
of their shareholders, and indulging in all sorts of
tripotage." What the circumstances were under
which the above almost nominal sentence was
pained, the French law, in its wisdom, judges it
unfit for the public to know, no report of a libel
case being allowed to be published. M. Jules
Fevre presented the defence, and his speech would
no doubt be interesting, if not instructive, to the
financial world. It is important to remark that
the truth of a libel (of course I don't know that
the defendants were prepared to prove the truth in
this instance) is no defence in France. The plain-
tiffs asked for 20,000 fr. damages, but the court
thought fit to award none. I hear that on leaving
the court an assault was committed upon oce of the
Messrs. Pereire, which will be the subject of an
action.

The Emperor, in his character of an author, does
not disdain the adventitious aid of the puff pre-
liminary, as may be seen from the following highly
charged reclame for his forthcoming history of
Caesar which appears in the Pays, Journal
de niespire :
It appears to be now established that Alise-Sainte Reins
is the ancient Alesio,the lut rampart of Osulish nationality.
The excavations ordered by the Emperor have brought to
light the ruins of those fortifications which Vercingeterix
defended during seven months against the Roman legion",
and the vestiges of the works hastily thrown up by Cow
to repulse 250,000 Gauls who came to deliver /dodo. It is
1913 years since the chief of the Arverues came on horse-
back to the Roman general and threw down his arms at
the feet of the conqueror, whose triumph he was doomed
to adorn. The capture of Vercingetorix is one of the
finest pages in C wear's •` Ccauneutaries." The honour was
reserved for the conqueror of &Merino to call to mind the
great things of our history, and to elucidate and explain
the exploits of the greatest captain of antiquity. During
the leisure that he can snatch from public affairs, the
Emperor works at an edition of " Omar," which
will be one of the moat curious monuments—one of the
most remarkable books of our epoch. This publication will
be ► great event and a great example. It will be an addi-
tional proof that the elect of the nation is also a sovereign
in industry and intelligence ; it will also show that he
does not disdain literary glory—that most precious
glory which is conferred by Opinion, the queen of the
world ! The Roman world, explained and, so to speak, re.
vived by the Emperor Napoleon, is ► beautiful—a grand
spectacle. The Look offered by the sovereign to the suf-
fusion of the public is the most profound of all possible
teaching, the most liberal of all possible examploa
French officers having been invited to compete at
a volunteer shooting match at Wimbledon, General
Bandon, the Minister at War, has given notice
that all officers desirous of going to England for
that purpose are to send in their names to him, and
that those who may obtain leave of absence on this
occasion will receive special pay.
A company has just been started on strictly high-
church principles for the sale of a newly-invented
winding-sheet for burials. "It is high time," says
the prospectus, "that man, on quitting this life,
should cease to be frightful or ridiculous ; be is
frightful if wrapped in a common sheet, and ridicu-
lous if dressed in his ordinary mundane attire. The
newly-invented winding-sheet supplies a desidera-
tum: the religious emblems with which it is orna-
mented make it a costume the aspect of which in-
spires nothing but feelings of consoling resignation."
The company promises 30 per cent. dividends.
N.B.—Table linen is also supplied by the company
on the most moderate terms !

The Empress of the French, the Echo de 14
Biwaye announces, will certainly visit her palace of Arteaga
in the course of the summer. Magnificent furniture, it
states, is arriving from Paris, and workmen are actively
employed in decorations. At Madrid an interview of the
Emperor of the French with Queen Isabella, in the itaSPli
provinces, is announced as cfficial.
Advicee from Turin state that King Victor
Emmanuel has renounced his intention of visiting Naples
this summer, but that the Duchess of Genoa, Lis sister•in•
law, will reside there two moths with a numerous suite
selected from the Turin court.

Amorling to a letter from Rome, one of the
sisters of King Francis 11. is about to be betrothed to one
of the Emperor of Austria's brothels. The same later also
says that the Pope's indisposition arises from an attack of
erysipelas in the leg, which compel. him to keep his room,
and to receive only persons who have to confer with him on
urgent affairs. Hie Holiness will soon leave Some fur OW
teldlandolfo, to peas there a great part of the summer.
The production of UR Ballo i,s Afaschera at the
Royal Italian Opera is deferred until Thursday neat. The
cast will embrace the talents of Madame Fence, Mahone
Miolan•Ca' rvelho, Madame Nantier Didisie, Signor Mario,
Signor Oraziani, Signor Tagliaileo, and M. Zelger.
General Garibaldi has addressed the fallowing
letter to Father Giovanni Pantalets who had sent him
copy of his plan for the creation of liberal clerical mu'
mitten :—"Dear Pantaleo,—Since you have descended into
the arena to combat the enemies. of Italy, persevere and
combat them to the uttermost. Clod blesses you ; you can
do much good to Italy and to humanity. We are of the
religion of Christ, and not of the religion of the Pope and
the Cardinals, because they are the enemies of Italy. in
public meeting, in the pulpit, make use of my name as you
think fit. You must attack the monster that devours the
heart of our unfortunate mother. Keep me informed of
the progress of your enterprise, and seek for pArtiaans.—
Always yours, G. 0.1131BALDI." •

The Journal de Tmebsme says Tho Emperor
has given order that before our troops leave a number of
ploughing machines should be sent to Syria. He 'tithed
the occupation of our army to have some traces in the
oottatrv, and to bear witness to the Generous intervention
of France by teaching the people of the Lebanon our im•
proved methods of agriculture."
According to the Na?.ionoie of Naples, the de-
throned king not only sends his few faithful adherents fake
money, but has recently forwarded to them a cargo of
buttons bearing the device of a crown, and an arm holding a
poniard, with the words Foe et opera. This is supow,l
be a neat way of suggesting assassination.
Some time back a large parcel of notes, of 501110
each, was stolen from the rational Rank of flanlinia. They
were dated in 1819, and attempts are now being made
put them in circulation, with the date altered to 1a57.
Several of them having just been offered to Messrs. Baum,
Sons, and Co., moueycbangers, of Lombardetreetv the
fraud, after a thee scrutiny, was detected.
