PARIS, TI:I6BDAY EVINING.

The Emperor and Empress must by this time
have arrived at Biarritz, but, contrary to the usual
custom, no telegraphic despatches recounting their
progress have been made public.
The Bourse remains in its chronic state of inactivity,
and, notwithstanding a telegraphic despatch from
Vienna, stating that the Austrian government con-
sents to declare the Moldavian elections null and
void, it was impossible to sell any kind of security
without ►ubmitting to a reduction. The Bente fell
10e. for cash and Sc. for account, closing at 67fr. Sc.
and rifr. 15c. Mobley fell 71r. 60c. The railway
market was very heavy, and most of tl.c lines fell
from Mr. to 10fr.

At one o'clock on Sunday tho Emperor himself
distributed at the Tuileries the commemorative

medal, awarded to such persons as had served in the
French armies from 1792 to 1816, to Prince Jerome,
Marshals Count Valliant, the Duke di Malakoff,
Magnum, and Count Baraguay d'Hilliers, Admirals
Hamelin and Parseval Descheoes, the Duke de
Plaisance, Count d'Ornano, and several generals and
vice and rcar•admirals.

The annual meeting of the five Academies took I
place yesterday in the hall of the institute. It being I
known that M. de Montalcmbert would take the I
chair the attendance was unusually large. The cus-
tom is, that each of the fire academies should fur-
nigh a president in rotation. This year it was the
turn of the Acadtmie Fransaise, of which M. de
Montalembert has just been elected director, and
therefore the duty of presiding at the annual con-
gress devolved
y. upon him. He was supported by I
MM. Felix Itavanson, Isidore Geoffroy
Hittorff, and Ceuta Posialis, rupee.
tively delegated by. the French Academy, the Aca-
demurs of Inscriptions and Belles Latina Sciences,
Fine Arts, and Moral sad Political aims. M. de
Moutalembert opeami the sitting by tits following
