PARIS.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
Letters from Rome say that a court-martial has'
assembled to try six non-commissioned officers of '
the Pontifical artillery, accused of a conspiracy
against the Papal government and high treason
against the person of Pius IX.
It is stated that the armaments at Toulon, An-
tibes, and Villefranche are completely terminated.
Count de Goltz is better ; he has been out twice
in his carriage. The symptoms which occasioned
some uneasiness immediately after the severe
operation he underwent have entirely disappeared.
Count de %entry is about to publish at Brus-
sels a sequel to his articles on Mexico, too highly
seasoned for the Revue Contemporaine, or, indeed,
any Paris printer. The title will be " Sons of i
Machiavel in the Nineteenth Century," and we are 1
promised correspondence from no less than four
' sovereigns on the subject of Mexico. A
pamphlet on Maximilian is about to appear at
Vienna from the pen of M. Leffivre, formerly a
diplomatic agent of Juarez in London. The
writer combats Count de Keratry's attempt
to whitewash Maximilian's memory from the
personal responsibility of having ordered
the summary execution of all Juarist prisoners of
war. It is also announced to contain an unpub-
lished letter from Maximilian to General Miramun,
dated Feb. 5, 1867, anticipating the case of Juarez
and four of his ministers being taken, and ordering
them to be shot. . _ .

It is said—but as the news must evidently come
• •

from the masters A cannot be implicitly relied upon
—that all but a very few pupils of Saint Barbs,
having made the required apology for their insub-
ordination, have returned to their studies.
It is very positively stated that M. Carvalho,
the manager of the Thßitre Lyrique on the Place
du ChAtelet, finding that the rent paid to the city
of Paris absorbs most of his profits, has made an
arrangement with M. Bagier, of the Italian Opera,
to transport the Lyrique company there and play
on the off nights.
A pamphlet, entitled " An election in the Grand
Duchy of Gerolatein," has just been seized at
Dentu's. The author's name is Reynold. It gives
a narrative of a supposed election in the fabulous
German principality whose history was illustrated
at the Tlniattre des Varidttis by Kunio. Schneider,
to the great delectation of many foreign sovereigns
last summer, and the picture too greatly resembles
an election worked by a French army of func-
tionaries to be tolerated by M. Pinard.
M. de Itemusat, the opposition candidate for the
council-general in a canton of Toulouse, has been
defeated after a sharp contest.
I hear that the new opposition deputy, M.
Houssard, will be allowed to take his seat with-
out opposition, but that the committee on M.
d'Estourmers election will propose to quash it on
the ground of " treating."
It is threatened that some old generals who
intend to take technical objections to the Army
Bill in the Senate will retard the sanction of the
measure by that illustrious body for some days
later than was expected.
At the Bourse the Route, after some fluctua-
tions, closed a shade lower than on Saturday.
Most other securities were higher. Italian rose
40c. ; Mobile and Credit Foncior, sfr. each ; and
Comptoir d'Escompte, 3fr. 75c. There is still great
uncertainty about the amount of the forthcoming
loan and the period of its issue. Speculators for
the riso cherish the hope that prolonged debates in
the Senate on the Army Bill may put it off till
after the next settlement day.
