It is stated in the Paris correspondence of the
independence that M. Ledru Rollin being desirous of return.
Mg to France, an opposition is raised on the ground that
he was condemned to transportation for taking part in a
conspiracy against the Emperor in tho Tibaldi affair.
M. Rollin contends, however, that be is included in the
amnesty, and his views have been stated in a meinoire pre•
seated by M. eremieux. The question will shortly be decided
on authority.

The Italian papers publish a letter from the lute
Bavarian Minister at Turin to Count Cavour, announcing
the suppression of the legation at the Sardinian Court. The
ex.minister, who writes from Rome, expresses his personal
gratitude for the courtesy which he has also received.
The Perecreranzes states that the celebrated com-
poser Verdi will be elected as a deputy for Turin. Signor
Verdi is well known in Italy for his patriotic sentiments.

The journals of Turin describe the successes of
Giugliei and Madame Titiens in that city, already an-
nounced, as nearly without example.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, TrUDAY EVENING..

The question whether the journals are to be
allowed to make " comments " upon the speeches
in the Senate and Corps Legislatif has now become
a very practical one, and is anxiously discussed.
The &irk and Presse have already announced that
they intend to try the right on the very first day of
the session.

M. Darimon, one of the members for Paris, has
an article in the Prose remarking upon the absence
in the Moniker of the financial statement which
hitherto has always been published several days,
and sometimes several weeks, before the opening
of the session. He trusts it may appear before
Feb. 4, as the budget this year will, on account of
the free-trade measure, be unusually important,
and the debate ou the address must necessarily be
connected with questions of finance.
It is rumoured that Lord Dufferin has resigned
his commission in Syria, and that in consequence
the English government wishes to postpone the
conference which has been announced, but that
France insists upon the conference meeting on
February 15 at latest, in order that she may know
at least fifteen days beforehand what resolutions
are taken with reference to the prolongation or
termination of the French occupation, which, by
the existing treaty, comes to an end on March 3. 1
The Bourse was firm, and a good deal of busi-
ness was done. It is now given out that the
imperial speech will say nothing about the King of
Prussia, and will be altogether pacific and con-
ciliatory. The latest despatches infer the pro-
bability of the surrender of Gaeta without more
bloodshed. The Rente rose 25c. for cash and 15c.
for account, closing at fiBfr. 10e. and 68fr. sc. Mo-
bilier rose Mr. The Orleans Railway fell 3fr. 75c.,
and Northern 2fr. 50c., but the other lines were
from lfr. 25c. to 3fr. 75c. higher.
"It is Mated," says the Petrie, "that regular
communication is about to be established between
France and China via Egypt. The vessels appointed
for this service will run from Marseilles and from
Suez on the one hand, and from Shanghai on the
other, and will touch at Segon, chief town of the
French establishments in the empire of Annam."
