EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(raom ooa owx coaazaromormr.)
PARIS, TUESDAY EVTNING.

The special correspondents at Compi;:gue appear
to have exhausted their ingenuity the first day,
fur 'cannot cull from their second letters atingle fact
or remark worth noting beyond the dull routine de-
tails of the court proceedings which the telegraph will
have duly transmitted. Of course everybody wants
to know what political conversation, if any, passed
between the King and the Emperor, and of course
nobody duos know anything about it. The only
hint throwu out on the subject this evening is by
('un•eapowluue, which suggests as probable
that, leaving aside all questions about the Rhine
as not being upon the order of the day, the
Sovereigns will have spoken about Venice,
and the attitude of Prussia in the event,
which seems inevitable, of an Italian war
against
Austria to enable the Venetians to
join themselves to the rest of their Italian
brethren under the sceptre of Victor Emmanuel.
The writer, who may possibly hays had a hint to
say thus much, is careful to add that lie knows
nothing whatever of the result of the interview.
The private character of the visit was most
scrupulously observed to the last.
A Turin letter of the 6th, in the Prose, says
that M. Ricasoli and M. Ratanci have had an
interview, for the tint time since the death of
Cavour. They passed a whole day together at
the St. Maurice Camp. This meeting has given rise
to rumours of • fusion, but Italians in Paris who
are personal friends of Ratarai will nut allow
that such a thing is possible.
The Church of Our Lady of Auray, a famous
holy place in Brittany, which was visited with
much ado by the Emperor and Empress at a time
when his Majesty (I say nothing of her Majesty)
was on better terms with the church than he is at
present, has just been the scene of a legitimist
deinoustratiou. The occasion was the birthday of
the Count de Chambord. A cry of " Vire Henry
V." was uttered in the church, and when the con-
' gregation cone out some of them hoisted white
pocket handkerchiefs upon sticks, to represent the
Bourbon flag. lu the evening a young girl, the
daughter of a steward of one of the vanquished
heroes of Caatulfidardo, made herself conspicuous
by shaking a tablecloth outside a window. The
affair was too miserable a failure to threaten the
public peace of the district, but it suffices to show
the Emperor that St. Anne d'Auray, like every
other place especially dedicated to Rome, is a
rallying point for his worst enemies.
The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux and some
priests of his diocese have lately sent the Pope
a good supply of claret for the express purpose of
"consoling him in his present grief." The Anti
de la Religion, in announcing this pious fact, ob-
serves that "no other clergy could have made such
a present as this "—a remark which, if not pro-
fouud, may fairly be accepted as true, since claret
is naturally dearer in other places than on the spot
where it is grown. " Copiosum ce/ebrufissimi p•trii
rini minus," says the Asti de la Reliuion, in latinity
worthy to be used in pocnta.
The ultramoutano society of St. Vincent de Paul
has just held a provincial synod at Lusignau, in
the department of the Vienne, where speeches of
the most violent character were indulged in against
the " revolution "—by which term it is meant
to designate the imperial government in case it
shall not betray Italy. There was much wild talk
of "religion iu danger," the "awful days of perse-
cution in which we live," and batthi and murder
and martyrdom were the stock subjects of dechuna-
tion.

Notwithstanding the note in the Muniteur con-
firming the statement already made that the Em-
peror would nut allow bread to rise any higher, and
holding out the prospect of a speedy fall, the Bourse
was extremely dull. Reute closed, without change
from yestunlay, at 681 r. be. and &Yr. 20c. Mo.
biller fell 2fr. 50c. The Orleans and Lyons rail-
ways fell Mr. each. Northern and Eastern, 3fr. 75c.
each, and Southern, 2fr. 50c. ; Western rose
lfr. 25c.
