PARIS, FamLy Evwwo.

The news given by several evening papers, that
the author of the late famous pamphlet is about to
publish a second one, is announced in the following
curious form by the Pays
We learn that the anonymous author (now known) of
the pamphlet, " The Emperor, Rome, and the King of
Italy," is at this moment preparing another at Turin, which
he will endeavour to attribute to an official source. If
we are well informed, the sou of a celebrated Polish post
is commissioned to get this pamphlet printed in Paris.

_ . . .
What an odd way is this of giving information to
the public ! If the name of the anonymous author
is known, why not state it 1 The public would
then be in a better position than it is now to judge
of the value of the production, which it appears to
be intended to discredit, while at the same time
the mere shadow of its advent is announced with a
mysterious fracas which cannotfail to procure for it a
large circulation. What can it signify that a son of a
Polish poet is to have something to do with the
printing of it 1 Why is this perfectly immaterial
circumstance paraded in large type as latest news,
dated "4 o'clock," while the name of the autho-,
from which some instructive inference might pos.
ably have been drawn, is kept back
The above government journal, also at "4 o'clock,"
reproduces the conjecture of the indipeudases
that the projected interview between the Emperor
and the King of Prussia will take place at Btrai=
burg, and that of the Nord that it is to be at Com-
piegne, adding its own valuable opinion that Com-
piegne will " probably "be the plane. But while
thus particular about an entirely secondary circum-
stance, the Pays evidently knows nothing about the
really considerable question whether the difficul-
ties in the way of the interview taking place at all
, have been got over. The latest date, which has
been very confidently mentioned, is October 2 ; if
the interview is not to take place at or about that
time it stands over to the Greek Kalends, and
neither the writer in the Pays nor anyone else
knows the when or the where. But in another
column of this evening's Pays, I find the following ,
paragraph :
We read in the Echo de roise, "Several Paris journals
announce that an interview will take place on Oct. 2, at the
palace of Compiegne, between the Emperor of the French
and the King of Prussi►. Notwithstanding the unanimity
at theme affirmations, we believe that the date assigned far
this interview at Compiegne is erroneous. It is almost
certain that the court will arrive at Compiegne this year
towards the middle of October; but it is not expected
wooer, and no orders have been given to hasten the pre.
wattage' for their reception."

This is good practical upholstering evidence
which comes to the local journal from the prefect's
office, and, therefore, is more reliable than the
paragraphs concocted in Paris, to throw dust in
people's eyes. I suppose the truth to be, that as
October 2is now inconveniently near, and it will
soon be known to all the world that the King of
Prussia will not see the Emperor on that day,
either at Strasburg or Plombieres, the Pop is in-
struct.si to suggest Compiegne, in order that when
October 2 comes it may be supposed that the only
reason for the delay of the interview is the cony.-
' nienoe of the French ouurt, which it will be said
could not come to Compiegne so soon as was ex-
pected. Depend upon it that the Emperor himself
does not yet know that the Kiug of Prussia will
come to Frame at all.

The Pays is rich iu official inconsistencies this
evening. Iu a column of " latest news" other than
the 4 o'clock one, and not dated at any particular
hour, it states that the publication of documents on
the affair of Ville-la-Grand (the locus in quo of the
mount row between some Savoyards and Swiss) is
" premature, because the inquiry is not yet ter-
minated." So far a very good reason is given for
suspending judgment, but the Pays goes ou to
make theassertion—evidently premature on its own
showing—that France will turn out to be in the
right, and must have the ompouration from Swit-
zerland which she demands.

Thu French "public instructors" have left their
readers under the impression for several days that
the Marquis de Lavalette had gone to Biarritz to
take the Emperor's instructions previous to his de-
parture fur Rome, but they now say that the
newly-appointed ambassador has been all the while
in Scotland, whence he has just arrived in Paris
" direct," the rumour of his having been in London
being also unfounded. The present story is that
he will wait in Paris till the Emperor comes.
The Bourse, which was heavy 41 day, gave way
sensibly at the close in consequence of some large
sales being pressed. unfavourable returns of
the Bank of France excited attention. Rente fell
