EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MOW OUR OWN coinuraronsrsr.)
PARIS, TIiVEADAY EVENING.

The semi-official lithographed correspondence
circulates a rumour this evening that the King of
Pruasia, out of his great anxiety to see Napoleon
111., has determined to shorten the interval which
separates him from the desired consummation, and
not only to come to France sooner than was lately
stated, but to penetrate further into the country.
In short, it is affirmed that, instead of meeting the
Emperor at Strasburg in October, the King will
conic to visit him at CompiZ•guo before the end of
the present month.
On the same authority it is stated that [Baron
Rica:mai has very frankly told M. Benedetti that
the recall of the French army from Rome 6 a nat-
ter of urgent necessity, and that if the evacuation
were delayed beyond the end of October, he should
be compelled to resign. This most regrettable
resignation may be expected to take place if
it be true, as reported, that the French
commiasariat at Rome has just made a
now contract for six months' provisions.
On the other band, a remarkable article in the last
number of the Opimione of Turin, an organ of the
Italian government, holds out a hope that the solu-
tion of the Roman question, which all the world is
looking for, may really be at hand. This journal
says that Louis Napoleon ham lately informed the
cabinet of Turin that his relations with the great
powers have prevented him from acceding to the
legitimate wishes of the Italians before the entire
pacification of the southern provinces, but that when
once order is restored iu those districts he will
make a final appeal to the good sense of the
power. This is a repetition in a semi-official form
of the dilemma which has been for some time in
circulation. The French government says to Italy,
"Show me your strength and capacity by pacifying
Naples, and I will give you up Rome ;" whereas,
Italy replies, " Withdraw your troops which protect
the brigand treasury in Rome, and Naples will
pacify itself." Hard as the conditions are of Napo-
leon 111., Cialdini's great success may possibly
answer to them.

The Anti de la Religion publishes, with much ado,
a protest purporting to emanate from the " Nea-
politan aristocracy" against the unity of Italy.
Among the siguaturesl observe that of a great rene-
gade, Prince Cito Della Rocca, who was formerly a
bosom friend of Mszzini, and, at one time, I believe,
acted as his secretary. The Presse remarks that
this document is signed by women and children,
and that among the "protesters" are "many
who preceded Francis H. in his flight,
but none who defended him." This jour-
nal further observes that the l3ourbonista who
live in Paris upoe the rents of their Neapoli-
tan estates presume greatly upon the well-known
magnanimity of the Italian government, for neither
the Emperor of Austria nor the Duke of Modena
ever hesitated to sequestrate the property of
emigrants.
Some of the papers in their " latest news" attri-
bute the authorship of the pamphlet to a M. de Is
Varenne. I believe this to be • false scent.
According to information which I think correct,
the writer is M. Marliani, a well-known Italian,
and a friend of Count Pepoli, whose relations with
the Emperor are notorious. This revelation is to
me pregnant evidence that the Emperor personally
knew of the pamphlet before it was published, and
is in fact a party to the publication.
The evening papers are instructed to contra-
dict a statement of the Independence Beige that
the return of Queen Christina to Spain is an indica-
tion of an approximation between the courts of
Spain and France, on the ground that " the rela-
tions between the two countries has never ceased to
be excellent." It is also thought necessary to say
that Marshal Magnan is not going to Italy with a
" mission."

The Bourse continues to be very buoyant. The
Route to-day attained 69fr. 35c., and, although
there was a reaction, the closing quotations,
69fr. 20c. and 691 r. 25c., show a rise of 15c. nod
sc. on yesterday. litobilter rose 2fr. 50c. The
Northern Railway rose 7fr. 50c., and the other lines
lf r. 25c. to 2fr. 50c.

In the Galigiwni of yesterday there is a paragraph
quoted from a London daily paper, stating that
the Bank of France now pays its notes in gold.
Having reason to doubt the accuracy of this state-
ment, I went to the batik this afternoon for the
express purpose of trying the question. Before I
had time to draw a note from my pocket, a con-
siderate porter iu a cocked hat volunteered to tell
me that there was " no gold," and I was distinctly
refused the small sum of five Napoleons in that
currency which I asked for. This is experimental
evidence coming down to 3 o'clock in the afternoon
of this sth day of September.
