PARIS, SUNDAY EVINIXO.
The Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial
Prince left St. Cloud for Compi4gne this afternoon,
for the hunting sawn. Baron Rothschild and
several other directors of the Northern Railway re-
ceived them at the Paris station. Their Majesties
were accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of
Basun°, and Mesdames de Labedoyere, de Saulcy,
and de la Poise. Three series of invitations, rang-
ing from October 21 to November 10, have been
hissed. I understand that Count Walewski and the
Countess Walewska, Lord and Lady Cowley , the
Duchess of Manchester, and the Count and Countess
de Morny, are included in the third series of guests.
There will be a royal stag hunt to-morrow.
Letters from the Mauritius of September 12 state
that the transports Pottinger and St. Louis had just
left the harbour of Port Louis with troops for
Bombay. This is their second voyage on the same
service.

It is confirmed from Madagascar that Queen Fla-
naval° has expelled all the French and English
residents from her dominion.. The date of the de-

ass is August 25. The reason maligned is that
the Europeans entertain the project of dethroning
the Queen and placing her sou, Prince Rakoutou, on
the throne of Madagascar.
The arguments in Count Migeon's cue are at
length concluded, and the Court of Colmar will give
judgment on Thursday next, Oct. 22.
The Daily News was seised to-day.
The Prease says in its weekly commercial review:

view to the American market are now on sale at greedy re-

I now selling at New York 26 and 30 per cent. cheaper then at
Lyons and at St. Etienne. In Paris the demand foe
sender de Peru is satisfactory. Some considerable
orders have been received from Ruda, and it Is
hoped that the moditirtions lately introduced into
the Rosman tariff will increase the already great cenetimp-
bon of French produce in that country. The happy results
of an abundant harvest are now apparent throughout France.
The price of bread, butcher's meat, and all aliareitety sub-
stances, has fallen considerably. bread has sew bra re-
duced to 36c. the kilog. in Parts, and 30c. in most of the de-
Tartineate. These are the ordinary prices of years of plenty.
In the corn marker the decline seems to be checked; but
this fact is to be attributed to the abundant supply, which
readers it difficult to effect sales. There is no biz of any
&aided ribs.

A new drama by M. Paul Foucher, to be called
L'Amiral de lEseadre Blew, will be brought oat

The Legislative Body will, it is announced, be
convoked for the end of November, conformably (as
some say, although the point of law is disputed) to
Article 46 of the Constitution, which renders its
meeting obligatory within six month' after the

dissolution. The Mint is busily occupied in striking
• g
the medals for the new Deputies. They are of
silver, and of a large size, bearing on one side the
effigy of the Emperor and on the other the name of
the Deputy surrounded by a wreath of oak. These
medals serve as a passport for the bearers, giving
them admission to the ministries, public establish-
ments, and official ceremonies. They also secure the
inviolability of the person and the privilege of
being exempt from any judicial proceedings, without
the authorisation of the Legislative Body. A new
medal is struck for each legislature, and thus they
together form a numismatic collection.
The Council of State resumes its labours on the
20th. It is stated that some measures are to be laid
before it for the next session. Among others, a new
maritime code, which has been already examined by
a special commission at the Ministry of Marine, over
which M. Bsroche presided. A rural code is also
talked of, which has been called for by the senate.
A bill relative to foundlings, and another on intel-
lectual property, will also be brought before It.
