(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING

I am informed that a young man was yesterday
arrested at Biarritz, for attempting to force his
way into.the residence of the Emperor and Elll‘
press, on the pretext that he was a relative of hig
Majesty. It is alleged that he is mad, but as
investigation is to be made, to ascertain whether
his madness be not feigned, and whether he bad

not some serious project in view.
A curious incident has, I hear, taken place with
respect to the famous commission which is to
settle the questions relative to the Danubian
Principalities. You are aware that Austria, Russiaf
France, England, and Turkey, had alone the right
to nominate the metabers of the Commission ; but,
that Prussia and Sardinia demanded to be allowed
to do the same. The demand wat;
taken into con'
sideration by the other powers, and hambeen decided. But it appears that Pen—
without waiting for the decision, has taken 001
herself to nominate a commissioner, and that 59114,,
dinia has followed her example. What the gre°:
powers will do in presence of there strange acts
remains to be seen.
Some of the German papers make the extraor-
dinary declaration, that M. de Persigny, Frene,h
Ambassador at London, has been directed by in!,
government to ask for explanations as to wh
the English Cabinet keeps its fleet in the Neei,/
Sea so long. The statement carries absurdity en
the face of it ; and, besides, it so happens that .P
de Persigny is at present absent from London.
There is a talk of a duel being imminent between
M. de Cesena, one of the editors of the govern"'
mental Constitutionnel, and M. Havin, director
the republican Siecle. The cause is that, in the
course of a squabble between the two papers,
Havin insinuated that Cesena, who is now 00/
disent) an ardent Bonapartist accepted money hal
Louis Philippe's government to write for it, an
was, after the revolution of 1848, a savage Socialis"
of the Prondhen school.
On the Bourse to-day, there has been a heal
decline in railway shares, and the rent e and 0,
other securities have followed the movement. rf hi;
reason of the fall of railways is, that their receiPi
diminish almost every week, and that their
proaching dividends will be inferior to those °
last year.
Marseilles papers say that not more than 000,COgi
hectolitras of wheat have arrived in the course 01
the present month (the hectolitre Os upwards °.
214 bushels).
Tuscan letters speak of a slight insurrectional.);
movement in the Maremmes, but say that it /18
easily suppressed and of no importance.
Madrid letters, in the Journal des Debats, confirl
the announcement that has already been madefilo
to the intention of O'Donnell and his colleagll
to re-establish the Constitution of 1845, but %Ind
modifications calculated to menace the NY
power.
There is reason to believe, says a ConstantinePle
- 'an

not yet

letter, that all difficulties aboiit the Bessarabit3-to
frontier will be settled by Russia consenting
give up the town of Belgrad, which was the ge
obstacle to an understanding.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENTSCb
We havo had another fall in railway share to
day-21f. on Northerns, sf. on Eastern, 1-5F' „cl
Lyons, 71f. on Mediterranean, 10f. on Orleans, il"0
31f. on Western, all for cash. This fall has heeip
occasioned, partly by realisations of operzition%o
anticipation of settling day at the end of
month, and partly by the belief that the gove`ei
ment has determined that companies shall henee
forth obtain the capital they require for prolOgref
tions and embranchments, &c., not as heretof° ‘,/
by the issue of bonds, but by the creation of lie
shares.

The Emperor has resolved on presentin.l)-0
