PARIS. TUMIDLY EVINII4I.
The Emperor—although, as the Coustitutionnel
says, he cannot take a journey of eight hours to see
Count de Morny without interfering with his treat-
ment—has been dancing at Vichy, and therefore
cannot be very ill. At a military ball, which ap-
pears to have made an extraordinary sensation in
the locality, his Majesty danced with Madame de
Bonney°, the wife of the colonel of the Lt Regi-
ment of Grenadier Guards, and had for oie-d-via
Madame Walewske, dancing with a non-commis-
sioned officer. Corporals and privates danced with
other grand court ladies ; and in the imperial
quadrille an English young lady, whose name the
French spell as "Miss Bons," danced also with a
private soldier. She, I suppose, must be the
heroine who threw down her cloak for the Emperor
to walk upon.
The Marquis de Lavalette arrived yesterday at
Marseilles, and will go immediately to Vichy.
The Prrsse, which, of course, must not criticise a
government communication, says very ingenionaly
of the commimiqui to the Petrie about Sardinia—
"We need not call the attention of our readers to
the tone in which the government disclaims all re-
sponsibility for the publication of the personal
opinions of the staff of the journal." That is just
it. The " tone " is indeed remarkable, for it
differs most palpably from that adopted when re-
proving any statement really disagreeable to govern-
ment.

It is stated that at the consistory to be held by
the Pope to-morrow, six French, two Spanish, and
seven American bishops will be "preeonised."
The Court of Appeal of Poitiers has sentenced a
priest named Bigarri, curt of Vigeant, to pay a fine
of 500 fr., with costs of suit in first instance and on
appeal, and in default of payment to six months'
imprisonment, for having publicly censured from
the pulpit the decree of the Council of State which
condemned the Bishop of Poitiers' charge. This
judgment was rendered on the appeal of the public
prosecutor, who thought the sentence of the Tri-
bunal of the First Instance (only a fine of 60fr.)
too light. This, and other like instances, show a
very resolute determination on the part of the
government to keep the clergy within bounds.
The Bourse was more deserted than ever. In the
long intervals between transactions, conversation
turned upon the Italian Loan, and the prospect of
profit by selling Piedmontese Fives to get into the
new stock. Bente fell 10c. both for cash and ac-
count, closing at Mfr. Gsc. and 67fr. 60c. Mobilier
fell 3fr. 75c. In railways there were scarcely any
alterations.

The King of Greece, passing through Wellsburg,
in Austria, arrived on the 20th at Gatatein, a valley
renowned for its thermal springs. His Majesty will, it is
said, pass a month there for the recovery of his health.
The Queen of Sweden and the princess, her
daughter, arrived three days back (says Oaliysuni of to-
day) at Frankfort, and were to leave the next day for the
baths of Soden.
Prince Otho and the Princess Pia, children of the
King of Italy, are now taking sea Wheat Pegli, near Genoa;
their brothers, the hereditary Prince Humbert and Prince
Amadfe, are in Switzerland.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg has proclaimed first
marksman of Germany M. de Leeuw, of Dusseldorf, who,
in the recent national ride match at Goths, hit the centre
151 times out of 302 shots, and gained 120 prizes in money,
and 9 others.
