PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The Emperor is expected at Havre from England
on Tuesday. Their Majesties, it is said, will go
straight from the steamer to the railway, and pro-
ceed at once to Rouen.

Count de Nesselmde, accempanied by his daughter,
the Baroness do Secbach, is now• staying at Fras-
esti'. at Havre.

—•--
The Maiquis de Mowstier, the French Ambassador
at the Court of Berlin, boa just arrived in Faris, but
the only object of his journey to France is to be
present at the annual meeting of the Council-General
of the Poubs, of which he is provident.
The Preue says, in its weekly commercial review:
Some et the Paris manufacturers continue to hare a satie-
ty:tory amount of work nu hind, bat activity is by no means
general. Trade Is dull, as to proved by the diminished
reosipts of the railways. The NootremiN's shore will not do
much business before the end of September, but the mann-
fa/Surer. of tissues expect to see their mason open before long.
A great many workmen being still absent for harvest work,
the dead saws is not PO much felt. Advice. from the fair
of Besuceire see satidactory. A large proportion of the goods
brought there hasteensold. Manybuyers camefrom Piedmont,
Comics, and Algeria. Compared with last year there hue been
a rise of 10 per cent. in handkerchiefs, from 8 to 8 per cent
in cloths, from 2 to 3 per cent. in linens, 20 per cent in
leathers and skins, and 10 per cent. in wools. Aimed every
other article was also higher, sad, notwithstanding the
scarcity of specie, bills were never known to bo met with
greater regularity.
The question of throwing open the butchery trade in
Paris, .ppesrs to be definitively resolved. A decree is ex.
pasted to spier in a few dam, which will abolish the liyiuy
wises and declare the Inds free. A great central cattle
market will be established elms to the gates of Paris, and It is
wafideetly hopedthataseatwillbeoomechesper. The butchers
pretend that the dmonses of meat is not their fault, hat
that it mime from the increased demand of ormaamption and
SO bleaffidini supply, bet tko answer to this argument is
that to almost all the deportment, meat is cheaper than In
Peas. Far issattace, at this moment the inhabitants of Path
NO peke ltr. 92e. the kllog. for beef of the first category,
while in the =corky el the departments the price maga trona
ltr. No. to lfr. 40tr. The different* is fee beyond what can

be attributed to the coat of transport. We may hope that
the projected change will bee reel boon to Paris. Fore long
time put the worldng edema have been compelled to deny
theacielvas a sufficient quantity of butchers meat,
and the high prior of meat has augmented that
of all descriptions of food, especially poultry, eggs, and
Vegetables. Flour was again higher at the beginning of the
week, on account of the dry weather, which had almost en-
tirely stopped the water•mtlls. The rain of Wednesday made
business more easy, but there is it lit tie flour on hand that
no considerable fall can be expected till the watercourses ere
sufficiently full to put the mills at work generally.
The Indiperulance says that the transatlantic
packet question has been settled upon the principle
of the following distribution :—llavre, New York ;
Nantes, the Antilles and Mexico; Bordeaux and
Marseilles, the Brazils, La Plata, Peru, and all
South America.
The question of agricultural insurances, which ,
has been submitted to the examination of the Coun-
cil of State by tke government, will not receive so
immediate an application as was at first supposed.
It is said that the government intends to open fresh
inquiries on the subject and to consult the Councils
General at their next session. The Council of State
' will not, therefore, be called on to deliberate on the
project until after the vacation, which commences
L on the 15th.

PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING.
The Bourse was not the least affected by the news
of the rupture of diplomatic relations between France
and Turkey. It was the universal opinion that,
the English alliance being by common consent
regarded as unimpaired, this event, however grave
in appearance, can be nothing more than a shuffling
'of the diplomatic cards. The Bente, after giving
way to the extent of Ilk. for a short time, was firm
throughout the day at about yesterday's quotations,
During the last quarter of an hour business was
rather slack, but still the closing quotations were
16.05 and 67.10, being a rise of 3e. for cash, and a
fill of only 3c. for account. Mobilier rose 2.30.
There was not more than 2 or 3 francs variation in
railways. They were generally higher within that
Lord and Lady Cowley and family have left Paris
Ihr Trouville.
The Spanish General I'rim has just arrived in
Paris.
I lately announced, as an unusual piece of news,
the acquittal of a newspaper, the /n6iriit Pubtic of
Tarbes, prosecuted fur the publication of " false
sews." I now learn that the government has ap-
pealed against the acquittal, and that the cause will
be tried again before the imperial court of Pau.
M. l'errutin, the publisher, has bought all the
furniture and books that were in Iliminger's bed-
room at the moment of his death. lie has ordered
his architect to build in his own house a chamber
of exactly the same form and dimensions. The
paper of Beranger's room will be taken off by
means of a dumping process, and trans
(erred to the fix simile apartment, which, when
the relics shall be arranged precisely as they were
in the poet's last day, will be exhibited to the public.
' The exhibition will doubtless prove as attractive
as Rousseau's hermitage at Montmorency.
The handsome church of St. Jacques at Amiens
has been almost entirely destroyed by fire.
It is rumoured that two authors will receive the
Cross of the Legion of Honour oh the 15th August.

CONSTANTINOPLE, iCLT 30.

Politics in France must be in a very morbid state
of inflammation, since Napoleon is trying to create
what medical taco call a determination of blood to-
wards foreign parts—the Principalities, for instance.
Not that he is seriously bent on mischief, for no man
knows better than himself that he can undertake no-
thing in the way of active hostilities. This question of
the Principalities, properly speaking, does not affect
him ; it is a Russian question, concerns her policy,
and all that Napoleon does is to lend his name.
Rumours of war were rife here yesterday ; some
thought it was inevitable, and grounded their con-
viction upon the obstinacy with which M. Thouvenel,
the French ambassador, is still defending the once
projected union of the Principalities, a cause he
believes to be not yet lost. Several deliberations
have taken place, at which Turkey advocated her
views with quite as much heat and passion
as M. Thouvenel did his. The flame was in-
creased by the news from Jassy, that the
unionists were in the minority. Poor M. Thouvenel
almost foamed nt the intelligence ; he instantly
~spttched his ultimatum to the Porte,granting four-
and-twenty hours es the term within which it would
bare to declare whether it would have the union or
not. He threatened the Porte, in case of its deciding
in the negative, that he would demand his passports.
For the sake of augmenting the dramatic effect he
then sent an order to the llesragerie Imperials to
delay the departure of the steamer for twenty-four
hours. The boat slimed have left yesterday,
bat was detained to be at the disposal of the
French diplomatist. All this became known
throughout the city of the Sultan like a flash
of lightning ; all sorts of conjectures were instantly
set afloat, and the French residents considered every-
thing to be on a war-footing at once. By and by
more peaceful tidings gradually oozed out of the
French ambassadorial palace. 'We have now re-
covered from the shock to that degree that we can
venture to indulge in the hope of mutual concessions
being made, and in fact lteschid Pasha on the one
side has consented that the elections in Moldavia
shall be postponed a week, whilst M. Thouvenel
on the other consents to relax the rigidity of his
purpose.
Whilst writing to you, a fire is raging in Galata,
and gaining the mastery. It broke out at three diffe-
that places. Every one is hurrying to the scene of the
disaster, and the glare of the flames makes us forget
the moral conflagration about the Principalities,
fee the moment at least. I have just heard that the
steamer is to start immediately, without M.
Thouvenel, but can learn nothing definitive as yet
concerning the final adjustment of the dispute.
It is confidently rumoured that a petition of very
extensive dimensions has been sent by the Serviatis
end Bosnian to St. Petersburg, that is to sty, to the
Emperor Alexander, and that these petitioners beg
Russia to support them in their efforts to obtain
emancipation.
