EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova own consomme.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.
A correspondence from Turin, addreeaed to the
Journal des Debate, asserts that M. Benedetti has
asked for explanations from the Italian govern-
meat relative to the invasion of certain frontiers
of the Roman States by Piedmontese troops, and
that M. Iticasoli replied that he bad not authorised
any commanding officer to cross the frontier. The
Mats thinks the incident less important than
has been supposed. It explains that the
frontier line is so indistinctly marked between
the enemies, both of whom perhaps have a lunging
to oome to blows, that mistakes are almost napes-
'able not to occur. According to this correspond-
ence, moreover, the court of Rouse has deliberately
echeloned Pontifical soldiers in such a manner as to
raise difficulties and create agitation in the Marches
and the Umbria. The Papal reaction wishes to
turn to the best account all the dibria of brigandage
that remains, and will encourage the landing of
reinforcements for the brigands wherever practicable.
As a commentary on the above news, which occasions
some sensation, I notice • telegram stating that
General de Goyou has received orders to oppose
any Piedmonten invasion by force.
The Messayer de Bayonne says that Marshal Nar-
vacs has arrived in that city, " accompanied " by
General Mareheei, on a complimentary mission from
the Queen of Spain to their Imperial Majesties.
As the Moniteur of this morning speaks of General
Marchesi alone as being charged with the mission,
the above news must be considered doubtful as far
as Narvaez is concerned. It nay be trne, however,
that ho is at Biarritz, and that fact alone may be
not without importance.

K Fabiani, the Corsican advocate and jour-
nalist, who is under a 'sentence of three mouths'
imprisonment for a libel upon the imperial pro-
cureur of the island, has just arrived in Paris,
intending, doubtless, to try his influence at head
ouarters against that of the local functionary with
a how he is at war. Before leaving Corsica ho re-
ceived all sorts of ovations. The Council-General,
of which he is a member, would not assemble in
sufficient numbers to make up a meeting as long as
M. Fabiani was absent, and when he came they
elected him reporter in a very important case, and
although he is a young advocate, only twenty-nine
years of age, they went out of their way to order
that his report should be printed and distributed
in all the communes of the department. His ap-
peal to the Imperial Court of Bastes will be argued
by an eminent member of the Paris bar, specially
retained, and the local excitement in his case is so
great that the government cannot choose but con-
sider with considerable anxiety whether the system
of riding rough-shod over private individuals can be
prudently upheld in the present instants).

Last night:, at half-past 11, a collision took place
near Douai, at the point of junction with the
Valenciennes line, between a passenger and a goods
train. Happily the consequences were not serious;
live people received contusions, but so slight that
they were able to oentinue their journey to Paris.
The Pays announces as " latest news" that a part
of the French land forces in China will provision-
ally be sent to Cochin China, the marines in the
latter place not being sufficiently strong for the
duty required.
The Pariscr Zeitlouj states that Mdlle. Laura
Durand, a crowned pupil of the Conservatoire, is
engaged at the Grand Opera, for the ensuing
season.
