EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROW on ow,

PARIS, WZD/fLaDAT EVINIIIO.

It is asserted on semi-official authority that nego-
Mations between Paris and Turin, and Paris and
Roam with a view to the withdrawal of the French
army of occupation, are still actively going on,
and that in consequence of them K de Cirammont,
who was about to leave Rome for Vichy, has been
ordered to remain at his post till the 10th or 15th
of June. Although the evening papers are in-
structed to say that there is "for the moment" no
truth in the diplomatic change announced by the
Indipelbalance Belye, yet they admit that K de
lavalette (who, it is supposed, will be the French
ambassador to the King of Italy) is wining home
from Constantinople in June or July. The litho-
graphed correspondence notices a rumour that
Prince de Carignan may be expected at Fontaine-
, blew during the Emperor's stay there. If this
news be true, the contradiction of the former state-
ment that Count Cavour was coming to Paris be-
comes unimportant.
' The new law on the press will be presented to
the Corps Lsgislatif to-morrow. There is no doubt
that tie swim, which, according to an existing
eissrea would expire on June 4, will be further
prolonged.

I think the "black man" must have been round
to the journals to tell them to hold their tongues
about Freemasonry ; the only intelligence to be
found to-day on this topic, which but yesterday
was so exciting, is the reproduction, without com-
ment, of the letter from Prince Napoleon's secre-
tary, conveying the intimation that his imperial
highness wishes his name to be dissevered from
masonic quarrels for the future.
One of the last works published by Domiteray
before his " administrative" extinction, was a
capital " handy book " on electoral law, by M. de
Sunnier, an advocate. As the object of the author
is to instruct the electors as to their rights--a sub-
ject on which their profound iguoranoe is noto-
rious—l suppose his treatise is considered an act of
.opposition by the government. M. de Bonnier
points out very clearly not only what electors and
candidates may and can do, but what prefects
and mayors ought not to do, and what are the
legal remedies against them when they violate the
secrecy of the ballot and intimidate the consti-
tuencies. This information is most opportune now
that a general election of councillors-general is at
hand.

M. Carnot has just published an interesting
memoir of his father, the celebrated republican
Minister at War.

It in rumoured that M. Guixot and his son have
turned Roman catholic% ; and, moreover, that M.
Guizot, jun., means to solicit the votes of an
eminently catholic constituency in the south of
France at the next general election of the Corps
Legislatif.
The Bourse, which it is now said was alarmed
yesterday by the fear of the Sultan's death, was
calmer to-day. The Rente rose 100. both for cash
and account, cloning at 69fr. 25c. Mobilier rose
2fr. 60c. Railways remain without change. All
the obligations issued by the Bank of France have
been subscribed for many times over. Paris alone
makes up the figure required.
The Monde, in its own peculiar manner, given
the following account of the martyrdom of a French
missionary iu China :
A glorious piece of news, which will make all the chareh
rejoice, has arrived from Tong• King. At Sontay. the
capital of the province of that name, at the end of 1860,
M. Neron, a French missionary, had his head cut off for
having preached the Christian religion. This new martyr
was arrested in August, and was kept for several months
heavily chained in a cage. On his first interrogatory he
was subjected to the torture, bat not a complaint
escaped his lips. He walked to the place of execution
with his eyes downcast ; and, praying fervently, the w
