FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

A grand review has been passed to-day by the
Emperor, in the Champ de Mars, in honour of the
Archduke Maximillian of Austria and Prince Oscar
of Sweden. About 25,000 men were under arms,
and, as usual, they presented a brilliant appear-
appearance. The Emperor having on his right
hand the Archduke, and on his left the Prince—all
three in the uniforms of Generals of their
respective countries--and followed by a brilliant
staff, prominent amongst whom were Marshals
Canrobert and Bosquet ; and several Eng-
lish and other foreign officers, passed
along the lines amidst loud cries of " Vive
l'Empereur!" The Empress followed in an open
carriage,—the first time her Majesty has appeared
in public since her confinement, and she was
warmly greeted by the soldiers. The troops after-
wards filed off before the Emperor and the two
foreign Princes. Although reviews are very com-
mon in Paris, they always attract a vast crowd, and
that of to-day did so. One notable fact occurred,
namely, when the regiments of General Forey's
division, recently arrived from the Cui !flea, passed by
—and they were only recognised by wearing the
English Crimean medal—they were enthusiasti-
cally applauded by the spectators, and at the sight
of their flags riddled by ball, every head was
uncovered.

The Austrian Archduke being a sailor by pro-
fession, and Lord High Admiral of the Austrian
fleet (such as it is) intends to visit Cherbourg
and other of the great naval establishments of
France before his return to his own country. He
will probably leave Paris to-morrow for the purpose.
Prince Oscar, who is also a sailor, will; no doubt,
do the same thing.
Count Orloff's son Nicholas, who was wounded at
Sebastopol, is shortly to arrive in this city,—if,
indeed, he has not already arrived.

An Anglo-French company, with a capital of
1,000,0001. sterling, is advertised in the papers for
building on the unoccupied sites of the Champs
Elysees, and its vicinity.

The French Government has represented to the
Prussian Government that the treaty of the 15th
of April, about Turkey, implies no hostility to the
Governments not invited to participate in it.
It was stated in the German papers the other
day, that the Prussian government had resolved to
send a small naval force to the waters of the Nicara-
gua to defend the subjects of the Zollverein. We
have to-day received news that the Austrian
government has determined to do the same. Eng-
land has already a force there, and France we
know has one there, or on its way. Have the
European • powers entered into an under-
standing to extinguish Walker and his
filibusters' It looks very like it. In connection
with this subject it is worthy of note that the
Madrid letters of this morning announce that in
the Cortes, on the 23rd, a resolution was passed
unanimously, promising the support of that body
to the government in " exacting" reparation from
Mexico for sundry wrongs it has done on Spaniards
--and that the Minister of the Interior announced
that vessels of war were to be sent out forthwith,
charged to exact reparation at " every cost."
Decidedly it looks as if Europe had at last made
up her m;nd to have a little gunpowder talk with
America.

St. Petersburg letters say, that the Russian fleet
in the Caspian Sea is to be greatly augmented, and
that the old sailors of the Black Sea fleet are to be
turned over to it ; and they hint that this indicates
some tremendous designs against the British pos-
sessions in Asia.

With reference to the Sound Dues question, the
semi-official journals of the French government
say, that the sum demanded by Denmark is
105,000,000 fr. (4,040,0001) and not 173,000,000 fr.
as is stated by the foreign papers, and that the
share of France in it is 3,657,000 fr.

MADAME CORELLI'S ENTERTAINMENTS.—ThI series of
entertainments at present being given by Madame Carelli,
a the Great George's street Assembly Rooms, deserve a
fuller and more detailed notice than we are at present able
to devote to the subject. The lady possesses, not only
remarkable powers as a pianiete, a voice of richne3s and
compass, and a refined and cultivated taste, but displays the
almost vanished and lost talent of the improvisatrice. The
entertainment is not only vocal and instrumental, but to
some extent dramatic, comprehending recitation, as well
as song and piano execution. An evening can nowhere be
spent with more gratification than in listening to Madame
Corelli's development of her remarkable and varied
powers.

- CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday the coroner held the
following inquests : —On the body of John Mason, 72 years

very much given to drink, and whilst in a state of intoxica-
tion, he fell down stairs and reeeived such injuries that he
died. The jury fou Id a verdict of accidental death. On
the body of George Birkett, aged sixteen, who was unfortu-
nately killed on Tuesday morning by falling out of a tree.
Verdict, "Accidental death." On the body of John Ed-
wards, a carpenter, who was engaged in working in a well
in Mr. Segar's brewery, in Bevington• bush, and who was

oaf theother. The wound is nut dangerous.—Belfast News

GENI,RAL WILLIA.II,IS AT ST. PETERQBURG.—A letter from
St. Petersburg of the 17th, in the Nord of Brussels, says :
The festivities of this week were closed by a ball given by
the Princess Youssoupoff. The Emperor was prevented
by slight indisposition from being present. General
Williams was one of the lions of the night. A valiant and
brave Russian soldier like the English General would no
doubt have been well received in England, but it is per-
mitted to question whether the principal ladies of the
English aristocracy would, as was done at. this ball, have
caused the General to be presented to them, and have
shown him such deep interest. General Williams has a
fine head, and wears his uniform well ; but General Ney
was even more remarked, Russian sympathies for France
being greater than any that England' can inspire. These
foreign guests appeared astonished at the magnificence of
the Hotel Youssoupoff and at its immense collections of
works of art and of ancient ana modern furniture. The
collections of pictures, statues, and, above all, the cele-
brated family plate of the old Russian type, appeared
greatly to interest the English visitors.
