PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING

I have no political news of interest to communi-
cate to-day.
The 17th is the day at present fixed for the
departure of the Emperor and Empress to Biar-
ritz ; but it appears quite certain that the
Emperor will not remain there more than a few
days with the Empress, though her intention is
to stop a• month. This new separation of the
Imperial couple, so shortly after a separation of
some week's duration, has given rise to much
comment. Last night their Majesties, notwith-
standing the great heat, went to the Grand Opera,
to witness the first representation of a new ballet
called the Elfes.
The opinion in financial circles is that the
money market, which for some weeks past has
been extraordinarily dull, will soon become very
active, and that in the course of the autumn there
will be an enormous amount of speculation.
Already an improvement is perceptible on the
Bourse. • A. reduction in the rate of discount by
the Bank of France is again talked of.
If we are to believe the Belgian papers
in the interest of Russia, France decidedly
objected to take • part in. the demonstration
which England made in the Black Sea, with
the view of bringing Russia to her senses,
with regard to Kars and the Isle of Ser-
pents. When the English government, in their
papers, asked the French government to send
out more ships, the latter pretended that it
had none ready. But. the English government, it
is alleged, clearly saw that it was a mere pretext,
which meant a refusal.

•
The programme of the festivities of the
Emperor's fete, on Friday next, has been published
to-day. As usual, the festivities are to consist in
the firing of cannon, pantomimes, - greased poles,
concerts, and illuminations.

The statement of a London paper, as to forgeries
of bank of France notes to a vast amount having
been discovered, is contradicted ; only three
forged notes have, it appears, been detected, and
that is a number not at all extraordinary.
M. Pacheco has been nominated Spanish
minister in London. The Madrid letters speak of
the raising of the state of siege of the capital as
probable.
St. Petersburg letters say that the Emperor
Alexander intends making an excursion in the
southern provinces before his coronation, and that
he intends to invite Count de Morny, the French
minister, to accompany him.
