PARIS, WIDWISDAT Emma.
I announced to you two or three days sines that
the Swim diplomatist, Dr. Kern, was coming to
Paris a second time. He is expected. Um her-
diately, and it is now stated that he eansesfwa the
title of envoy extraordinary, and that he will roger
sent Switzerland in the Conferences which are to be
held to settle the affair of Neufchatel. I am not,
therefore, prepared to my that these Conferences
will be held in Paris. According to present infor-
mation, it is to he inferred that they will meet else-
where. It appears that Prows' objects both to
Paris and Londei.

I believe it is quite certain that the prosecution
which the Morißeur announced bad been eamsetnesi
spinet the Press. and Estafstte, for plaid***
letter on Berns 'airs, wrongly attributed to M.
Mooquard, will not be proceeded with. If the
mulcting the journal in a line, and throwing aa
innocent rediseeerr into prison for a few months,
would mace to atone to the King of Preens for
the irritation caused by the appearance of that letter,
dared from the Tuileries, in the Swiss journals,
there would be little hesitation in adopting such a
eons& But according to the law of 1852, any
Pennehjoornal found guilty by a tribunal of any in-
builta of the law twice within two years, is iissefaeto
,itinameei. Now the Press* wee condemned some few
menthe ago for an involuntary publication of a piece
cif adobe news," and should a second conviction

bought by M. Milhaud of M. E. de Girerdin for the
Tory comirkernble sum of 600,000 fr.) would be ea-
nihilated. The government si.rinks from WOO-

Napoleon very warmly represented to fhe Emperor
the monsirmis injustice which would be dome to the

The Daily New wee seised to-day for a awe'
scrap of the letter of Loden Rollin about the soft
elections, which has fallen upon the practising like
a thunderbolt.
The Bourse has been dull. The Rento fell 30c.
for cash, and 13c. for account, closing at 67fr. 90c.
and 6sfr. 10c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50e. Railways
were inactive, and almost all the lines fell from
2fr. 50c. to Sfr.
The Bank of France has appointed a committee
to consider what privileges the bank should ask for
