The Pays has a correspondence from Macao of
Await 11, which reports that, as was naturally to
be expected, the Viceroy of Canton, as soon as
Lord Elgin had left with his ships for Calcutta,
issued a proclamation stating that be had been
frightened away by the imposing attitudo of the
Celestial army, " numerous ma the countless leaves of
the forest." The proclamation announces the ter-
rible fact that a new Chinese fleet is in preparation,
which will disperse all the enemy's remaining
vessels. It terminates with a violent invective
against all foreigners whomsoever, and an intima-
tion that a new tax has been imposed for the main-
tenance of the Celestial troops, which mast be paid
within ten days under the most severe penalties.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, WrDNRAMT Hymns°.

The Emprer, dri,, en back probably by the threa-
tened break up of the weather, will leave the Chalons
camp at two to-morrow, and is expected in Paris at

The young Bet Iladj, who came to France accom-
panied by M. Jules Favre to solicit the pardon of
his father, the Arab chief who was found guilty
as an accomplice of Captain Doineau, has had an
interview with the Emperor sad Empress at the
camp.
Yesterday Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers was
thrown from his honest the Chalons camp, but was
not seriously hurt.
It is now certain that the Pays was too precipitate
in announcing that the resignation of the Name:
cabinet had been definitively accepted by the Queen
of Spain on the 3rd. The telegraphic despatch, on
the authority of which the Pays acted, is traceable
to a paragraph in the Clamor Puldieo, which refer-
ring to what was presumed to have taken place at
the avail weekly cabinet council held on that day,
said - it appeared indubitable " that all the ministers
had resigned, that their resignation had been ac-
cepted, that Bravo Nlurillo had been summoned
by telegraph to form a new ministry, and
that the necessary royal decrees would appear
in the Gazette of the 3rd. Now the Gazette of that
date is to band, and contains no word on
the subject of the resignation of ministers.
Moreover, a despatch, dated yesterday, the 6th, is
equally silent. Nevertheless the Pays of this even-
ing persists that "Narniez and his colleagues have
thoroughly resolved to quit power and that the
cabinet is in a state of dissolution ;" but it at the
same time notices that private letters speak of the
possibility of Narvaez having consented to form a
new ministry with the concurrence of the Marquis
de Pidal, Minister of Foreign Affairs. According
to this story only Nocedal and Lertrandi would
definitively retire. All this is, however, very vague
surmise. The rum of the news is nothing more than
that the ministerial crisis is still going on. The
P mentions a report that Nurse. thought of
reorganising the National Guard, and appealing to
that force for support. This, considering Narvatz's
antecedents, does not seem very likely—bat Corns

Ifts. The Bourse has again been depressed, owing to

the apprehension of a general rise in the value of
money throughout Europe. It was reported that
the next returns of the bank of France will show a
great decrease in the stock of bullion. The Rente
fell 35c. foe cash, and 40c. for account, closing at
67fr. 70c. and 67fr. lobilier fell 32fr. 60c.
The railways were all lower, more tvpecially the
great lines, in which a good deal of business was
done. Orleans fell 10fr.; Northern, 15fr. ; Eastern,
10tr. ; Lyons, 7fr. 50c. ; Southern, 15fr.; and
Western, 10fr. Grand Central was steady.
The vintage is now nearly finished, and very com-
prehensive accounts have been received from the
wine districts. The reports are unanimous that the
quality of the wines of 1n57 will be very tine in-
deed; but it appears to be beyond doubt that the
quantity which, notwithstanding the fineness of the
season, was never expected to be very great, will be
even less than was looked for. In the country about
Paris, is Champagne, Lorraine, Aleatia, and the
Sancerrois, Nantais, and Orleannais districts there is
a fair average crop, and the quality is superior.
But all those countries (with the exception of Cham-
pagne) produce only wines of a second rate cha-
racter, which are never in demand for
exportation. In the burgundy and claret
ocantriet, the quantity of grapes is not
large. In the Maconnais, Beaujolais, and
Cote d'Or districts, the report is a " good halt
average crop." In the Gironde, the Dordogne, and
the Gen, whence come the wines known se Bor.'
dean: or Claret, the crop is not more than from
one-third to a quarter of an average, owing to the
ravages of the grape disease. In Roussillon,
Languedoc, and Provence, the quantity is even less,
storms having added to the devastation of the
disease. It is calculated, however, that taking
Prance, throughout there is a fair hell average crop,
and this is more than we have had for many years.
Brandy and vinegar are rising because the wine is
generally so good that it will not be spared for the
manufacture of those articles.
