PARIS, Tremor EVIXTMO.
A Council of Ministers was held at St. Cloud to- ,
day, previous to the Emperor's departure for Osborne
House to-morrow. It is announced that his Majesty
will return to Paris on Monday next.
Baron Von der Pfordten, the Bavarian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, has just arrived in Paris.
Marshal Bandon has been ordered by the Em-
peror to come to Paris for the fetes of August 15;
and, accordirg to the Petrie, he will on that occa-
sion be created Duke of Kabylia. The programme of
the faro, which appeared in the Moniker two days
ago, was settled by the Emperor, who struck out
the projected military entertainment of the taking
of the Malakoff Tower, out of a desire not to of-
fend Russia. There will be a sham fight all the
same, but the building on the heights of Chaillot,
which was to have represented Malakoff, will be
called a fortress in Kabylia. It is observed that the
Kabyles live too far off to feel their self-love
wounded by anything that may pass in the Champs
I de Mars. The true reason, however, seems to me

that the Kabyles having no force to back up diplo-
macy me not likely to send an ambassador to com-
plain, for, as to the matter of distance, Kabylia is
not farther off than St. Petersburg.
General MacMahon will, beyond all doubt, be
made a Marshal of France.
The independonce states that Lord Cowley has
complained of the absence of Vice-Admiral Trfi-
bonnet from Toulon at the time when he and Lord
Lyons were there, and that, in consequence of the
British Ambassador feeling himself slighted, the
Minister of Marino has written a letter to the ad-
miral on the subject in the name of the Emperor.
What may be the tenor of the letter in question
does not appear, but it is suggested that Admiral
TrOhouart may defend himself against the imputa-
tion of discourtesy by the fact that the Frer.cli
squadron under his command was ordered away
from Toulon before that of Lord Lyons arrived
there. The reason assigned for this measure is that
the French crews had been quarrelling with the
garrison.
The Bourse again opened with a favourable dispo-
sition, which was checked by the weakness of Con-
sols. The ltente closed, with very little business
doing, at yesterday's price (07fr.) for cash, and at
flifr. 20c. for account, being a fall of 10c. Mobilier
fell 13fr. The railways were tolerably firm, but
there was no material change in prices. The re-
port that the Council of State had refused to sanc-
tion the purchase of the Languedoc Canal by the
Southern company was positively contradicted.
This has been the hottest day of this very hot
stammer. At two o'clock the thermometer marked
Sti degrees and upwards of 1, equal to 951 of Fa-
renheit. From the appearance of the sky this
evening a thunderstorm seems imminent. There
Law been within the last few days several very
Leavy storms in the south of France; and the ab-
sence of thunder in l'aris, after such a long con-
tinuance of heat, has been noticed as a remarkable
phenomenon.
The body of the late Prince de Canino arrived at
Marseilles by an express train the day before yes-
terday, on its way for interment in the family vault
in Corsica. It was accompanied by Prince Napoleon,
son of the deceased; the Marquis del Gallo, and
Count Primolli, his sons-in-law; M. Pektri," jun., and
M. Bourcier, an old friend of the family. The Canon
Casanova occupied a place in the funeral car, which
bore the imperial aims. M. Beason, prefect of the
Boucher-du-Rhone, was at the railway station to
receive the body and the personages who accom-
panied it. Four horses were immediately attached
to the ear, and proceeded to the extremity of the old
port, where the coffin was embarked on board the
Regain steamer, to be taken to Corsica.
On Sunday the roof of the new part of the
Louvre was ornamented with flowers, as an indica-
tion that the whole of the work has been fermi-
_
the , tutted.
