OUR PARIS LETTER.

(PUOM OUR OWN CORIIFSPONTRNT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY v

It is amusing now to read the various
tions of the Paris papers of the beginning, .4 th .
week as to how many days it would 1 11,••
Senate to "deliberate" upon the loan, and a
it could possibly be brought out before the 1 -e:!
of August. The Loan Bill passed by the Gel-
Legislatif just before it broke up on Tuesday w
presented to the Senate on Wednesday :eel
voted unanimously on Thursday, and iiun
diately after the unanimous vote M. Iteu6r
pulled from his pocket tut imperial tbs-r.
dated Plombii:res, which proclaimed the close of
the Senate's session. The imperial govern-
ment can go ahead when it pleases, and in spit,
of renewed rumours at the Bourse to-day of :t
postponement till September or a:6,1.T.
I have not the least doubt that the money retell
will be clutched as soon as possible. It i, bitkrly
observed that " loan"—the ultima tabs of the

empire and its leading characteristic—was tie last
word both of the Corps Legislatif and Senate.
The senators—worthy successors of those
valets who did the bidding of the First
Empire when it was powerful, and tumble!
over each other in haste to abandon it when evil
days came—had not a word of even formal criticism
to :make upon the loan. Not a minister wai
in his place to answer an inquiry, it 13..iie,.;
well known that President Troplong's tree!,
is too well disciplined to ask any imperti-
nent questions. Here is literally all that was SAO
about the fresh opening of the " Great Bonk"
which M. Fould boasted but a little while
ago was to be in principle shut. The Marquis
d'Audriffet, who stood forward as the reporter
of a committee which is supposed to have deli-
berated for twenty-four hours, sleeping time in-
cluded, had the hardihood to say:

Gentlemen Senators,—Yon will doubtless share
the confidence with which our excellent financial
situation inspires ua in the success of this new
appeal to the power of public credit, which
has never failed to lend us its support in difficult
moments, and which will respond, we are firmly con-
vinced, by the patriotic rush of lenders to the appeal
which we now make amidst a settled peace. and in
days favoured by every gift of ease and well
being to ous laborious populations, in order
to provide the means for our political security, the
strengthening of our military forces, and the maintenance
of public prosperity. No nation can offer such guaran-
tees as we can for our public debts, which represent, but
a fifth of our annual revenue, and which the ince,vit
progress of our income cannot fail to payoff hy a siukucA
fund. We, therefore, propose that you -lioubl %melee,
the bill authorising the Finance Minister to a ban vi
450,500,000 in Three per Cent. Mentes.

This speech—a dissertation on that reckless tekt
of an imperialist minister—" The rtwarees of
France are inexhaustible," was at once followed
by a ballot. Senators present, 91—Ayes, 91 ;
noes, 0. Total, a unanimous vote without discus-
sion. Five rEmpereur ! and a prorogation was td,
next thing.
And now that the Chambers are out of the
—and Heaven only knows when they may I,:
again embodied—rumours of war are more rifo
than ever. I do not like to prophecy evil and strive
to give a fair credence to the solemn assertions
of public men against vague and unauthenticated
rumours. When M. Rouher and Marshal Niel re-
peatedly said that peace, at one time endangered,
was now " certain," I, while always thinking that
the Emperor ruminated war at some time,
with the large army he was raising,
did think that he might go ou hesitating
for a long while, and I formed the opinion which
I expressed, that there would be no war this
year. lam much less confident now. It is
impossible to shut one's ears to the nuuours
which crop up in all directions, of war
abroad, and a coup d'egat at home. Emile d"
Girardin's violent war articles may be merely :‘
pilot baleen. The Mbate, one of the most cau-
tious of French journals, says, in its leading'
column to day, that its Florence correspondent
speaks of the relations between France and Press"`
as :very delicate (iris tendon). It is scarcely
doubtful that General La Manners, who is the
creature of France, was prompted by the French
minister at Florence to take the extraordinary
course he did in reading M. Usedom's de-
spatch to the Chamber for the purpose of
creatin., a bad feeling between Prussia and
Italy. prating
Paris semi-official journals boast Ui
unison that this end has been attained. That is
not certain—but the attempt, as a symptom, is
most alarming, especially when coupled with 'the
mysterious news, by no means sufficiently cou-
traclicted, of the project of France to draw
Holland and Belgium into its wake.
The Marquis and the Marquise de Caux leave
Paris to-day for Switzerland. The Figaro says
the Emperor has written to the Marquis that he
cannot bear the title of imperial chamberlain ea
