PARIS, TtVADAT EVENING.
The Emperor left' the Tuileries this morning in
an open ealeehe to shoot at St. Germaine. The
Moniteur says that he will probably go to the
Chilons camp towards the end of the week, but I
hear that his departure will not be delayed beyond
Thursday at furthest, and he may very likely (EMT
to-morrow night. It is eonfidcntly stated in official

circles that the Emperor of Emig will come to
_ _

his Majesty at the camp in the course of September.
The rumour of this visit has provoked repeated
contradictions, but I have strong reason for believ-
ing that it is now, at all events, well founded.
Should the Duke of Cambridge come at the same
time, his Royal Highness will have an opportunity
of receiving from the mouth of the Czar an
assurance of his deep regret at the insurrection of
the Bengal Sepoys.
The Pays, whose authority on Indian affairs is,
however, shaken by Lord Palmerston's contradiction
of its recent assertions about the passage of English
troops through the Isthmus of Suez, says, this sew
ing, that the army of Oude (30,000) has beyond all
doubt put itself in communication with the insur-
gents of Delhi. The Pays also says that General
Rose, who was so well known to the diplomatic
' world, a few years ago, as secretary of legation at
Constantinople, has, at his own request, been ap-
pointed to a commend in India.
The Bourse remains inanimate. A very few NW
sufficed to lower the 'tetra 10c. for cash and lde. he
account. The closing prices were 67fr. for cash, and
Oar. 'J5c. for account. Mobilise fell 2fr. 50e. The
Lyons and Southern railways fell 7fr. to Sfr. each,
and the other lines 2fr. 50c. There is so little de-
mand for money for carrying over accounts, that the
interest to be got for it scarcely exceeds 1,1 per cent.
per annum.
The canal connecting the town of Caen with the
sea was inaugurated with much ceremony on Sun-
day last. The municipality voted 10,000 fr. for the
fete, and the shippers and merchants of the town
subscribed nearly an equal sum. The making of
the canal was begun as long ago as 1837. The
works have cost nine millions of francs. It is ex-
pected that this outlay will be largely remunerated
by the increased trade of the town, which has now
a regular communication for vessels of large tonnage
with the sea at all seasons of the year, whereas the
navigation of the river Gene was frequently inter-
tented for weeks together.
M. Yvon, the painter, whose Prise de Malakoff
obtained the first prize at the French Exhibition
this year, has, it is said, received an order from the
"English government" for a picture of the battle of
Inkermann. According to my recollection of the
way public affairs are managed in England, ministers
have no funds at their disposal wherewith to patro-
nise living artists in foreign countries, and therefore
if there be any truth in the news, I presume the
order must come from the Queen. As if for the
purpose of contradicting a notion which has struck
many visitors to the Champs kayaks palace, that
M. Yvon's success must render Horace Vernet jea-
lous, the latter has invited his young rival to pass
the winter with him at a country house which he
has just purchased near Ilyeres.
I regret to announce the premature death of M.
Lerminier, professor of comparative jurispntdence in
the College of France, who was for several years
editor of the political Chronique of the Revue de
Deus Monde*, and who has latterly written several
historical articles of great merit in the iissemblE,e
Nationale.
