(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING'
The Peace Congress did not sit on Saturday,
nor yesterday, neither has it met to-day-
non-meeting on Saturday was perfectly regular
none took place yesterday because it was Sunday
and there has been none to-day because, I aln
informed, all the Ministers and official dignitariehs
have made the birth of the Imperial Prince the
pretext for having a day's holiday. eer'
theless the passing over of three days
without a meeting has created some alarm
on the Bourse, and the alarm has been increased
by reports that the deliberations of the Congress
have not been so smooth, recently, as was generallY
supposed, I have made enquiries in a high
quarter, in which the little that is allowed t°
transpire about the Congress is almost certain .
be known, and I am assured that difficulties
undoubtedly do exist, but that they are not of a
nature to diminish seriously the hopes that have
been entertained of peace :—" if indeed," it was
remarked to me, " there were no difficulties, to°
Congress would be at an end." The independance
Brussels has got hold of a story that England
has been trying to raise obstacles to the conclusion
of peace, but that she is made to understand thatthey will not be admitted, and that she is sulky I°oonsequence. This, however, is all bosh ! If Eng'
land chose to propose this, or that, to the Congress'
let us hope, for her honour, that she would do s°
without caring a straw for the opposition site
might encounter, and would just insist on it, even
if the Congress should be broken up.
I am assured that Turkey displays very c.oasi
derable firmness at the Congress.
Lord Clarendon, I am told, has presented his
hearty congratulations to the Emperor on tile
birth of a prince, and has assured him that th.o
Queen will, without delay, address an autograPn
letter to him, expressing her feelings on.
subject.
Baron de Manteuffel, the Prussian prime minister'
arrived here yesterday tc take part in the Con gressi•
He does not, I am told, speak French at all wel'.
and on (lit that he prides himself on being sonle"
what like Napoleon, and on having small wit:
hands. He may be ornamental therefore in t'
Congress, but can hardly be useful.
I omitted to mention yesterday that, as 110
viously resolved on, the Emperor committed tithe
tomfoolery of presenting his child with the Gl°,
Cross of the Legion of Honour and the Milita%
Medal. The illuminations last night were route
more general and brilliant than had been expeete.id
At three o'clock to-day the Empress and her 01,'1
were going on remarkably well.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING'
I have nothing new to tell about the peace (111,e5.;
tion, unless it be that the belief is universal tu"'a
peace, if not formally, is virtually concluded ; 6110
that Lord Palmerston's speech in Parliament,,,;o,
Friday, is looked on as a proof that it is so. ""Ile
there are people who cling to the idea that, o,t 1.0,
last moment, difficulties will arise which will Platt
vent it. If we are to believe the Nord, the Itilss:a
journal of Brussels, Russia is not to be recpleesitio
to destroy her forts on the Circassian coasts of

Black Sea.
The great incident of the day is the accouclzentegt
of the Empress. At five o'clock, yesterday inerilni
ing, her Majesty was seized with the paw ,r-e
labour, and at three o'clock this morning she geed
birth to a prince. At six the event was annetill,eeehe
to the Parisians by the thunder of 101 guns at,' 0
Invalides. The child is stated to be (but third 'sas
matter of course) a remarkably fine one--01,:,0
big and plump as any body else's baby at '',lo
months old. On receiving it in his arms, the
Emperor is said to have cried " I do not wcti'd
the Empress suffered so long !" The sufferings
the Empress are stated to have been not onlY yell/•'0
long but truly terrible. The Emperor and ',a
Empress's mother, the Countess de Montijo
is au Englishwoman) were in the chamber of
17
Majesty at the moment of the birth. The Otte.;
meat as it is called, that is, a sort of preliniie7
baptism of the child, took place this morning,' ":if
the chapel of the Tuileries, with a great deau
pomp, and the child received the names of 1"141)-;
loon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph. The cerenLl3'
was performed, by the Bishop of Nancy, the ",.i;;
peror s first chaplain. The Legislative BodY,„'" of
Senate, the Municipal Council, and the
ic - Couce'.4
State, assembled at an early hour in them c41310-,3
to receive the news, and they determined to
on the Emperor to offer their congratulations.
