EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(mom Oft OWN coausroarDcwr.)

PARIS, FIUDAT EV1311,0.

The Pays announces ostentatiously at the head
of its " Latest News" that the Ari4e, appointed
to carry out a month's provisions to the Gaeta fleet,
has got all her cargo on board, and only awaits the
order from Paris to sail.

The government organs cite with complacency
letters, or pretended letters, from Naples, repre-
senting anarchy as triumphant in the south of
Italy, and drawing the moral that nothing but a
congress can avert a general war in the spring.
Rumours of the retirement of the Pope's Minis-
ter at War, Mgr. de Merode, have been frequently
circulated of late, and as often contradicted. But
the Pays now says that his resignation is " pro-
bable and proximate ;" and the Patric, speaking
more positively, says that Mgr. Bella, a native of
Viterbo, and formerly a delegate at Perugia, has
been appointed as his successor. This news, if
true, may be very important, for Du Merode, a
bigoted catholic, was the incarnation of the war
party, and there have long been rumours that Car-
dinal Antonelli sees the necessity of abandoning
the high ground which the Pope has endeavoured
to maintain, and of treating with Victor Emmanuel.

It is announced that M. Nearer has received
permission to found a new journal, which will be
called Le Temps, and that he will be succeeded in
the Praise by M. Laverty, from the Gironde of
Bordeaux.

In consequence of the death of the King of
Prussia, the ball that was to have been given at
the Tuileries ou Jan. 9 is countermanded.

The Bourse is decidedly better to-day. The
Rente opened with considerable animation, and
although during the last half hour business was
dull, it closed with a rise of 15c. for cash and 10c.
for account. Mobilier rose Mr. 25c. The Eastern
Railway rose 10fr. ; Western, 7fr. 50c. ; Lyons,
Mr. ; Northern, 3fr. 75c. ; and the other lines
about 2fr. 50c. The Mires Bank shares were
much better, owing to reports that the affairs of
its principal director have been placed on a sound
footing.

FRANCE AND ITALY.

A Paris letter, in the Jmintai de Francforf, says :

The official list of the diplomatic corps accredited to the
government has just been distributed, as it is every year at
this season, by the Minister of Foreign Affairs. On this
occasion, the diplomatic corps was waiting with great Im-
patience to see if the legations of the countries annexed by
Piedmont would still appear in it. They do not however,
and the legations of Naples, Tuscany, and Parma have dis-
appeared from the official roll. It is known that the Duke
of Modena has had no representative in France since the
revolution of July. What has especially produced a strong
sensation is, that Monseigneur Meek, the auditor, who has
represented the legation of the Roman States since the de-
parture of the Nuncio on leave of absence, Monseigneur
does not appear in the list as chant[ d'ajaires but
merely as rare du affairee. It is rumoured that Mon-
aeigneur Meld's, on the occasion of the last creation of
bishops, declared he was without powers for their confirma-
tion. The title of cltarue crqffaires has therefore not been
assigned to him.
