PARIS, FRIDAY VIIMING.

I call attention to a very puerile attack upon
England, under the signature of M. Oueroult, in
last night's Opinion Nationale, because I am assured
on what I think good authority that the article was
in reality written by Prince Napoleon.
The Opinion Nationale this evening inserts an
address to the French people, signed by Mr. Pease
and Mr. Henry Richard on behalf of the Peace
Society, praying for an alliance with France. M.
Oneroult, in announcing the demonstration of these
gentlemen, says that he is quite for the English
alliance, but then he would have it an "active alli-
ance, and not &cowardly neutrality between justice
and iniquity, between liberty and oppression." In
other words, M. Oueroult, as his article of yester-
day proves, wants England to join with France in
making a emus belli against all the world, of what-
ever France may, for the time being, choose to
call the cause of justice and liberty. This sort
of "efficacious" alliance will, I apprehend, as little
suit Mr. Pease as it will the English people and
government.
The Bourse was much agitated, and the Rents
fell 25c. for cash and 15c. for account, closing at
67fr. 50c. and 67fr. 55c. Mobilier fell 7fr. 60c.
The Orleans Railway fell Mr., and the other lines
from lfr. 25c. to 2fr. 50c. The Caine Mirbs rose
nearly Ur., closing at 100 fr.
The Pays is hood enough to say in its " Latest
News" to-night, that the prorogation of the lonian
parliament " naturally" indicates that England, in
pursuance of her policy of emancipating "nationa-
lities," as evinced in the case of Italy, is about to
consent to the desire of the lonians to shake off
the British yoke.
The Journal du Havre says there is a talk in
diplomatic circles of the Emperor paying a visit
to King Leopold at Brussels, by way of returning
the visit made by the latter sovereign to Biarritz
in 1859.

The French have had some fighting in Cochin
China. Ou February 17, General Vassoin was
wounded, and a colonel and an officer of the navy
were killed. The French troops killed a great
number of the Annamites.

The report—which, having seen it in a litho-
graphed correspondence, I notioed as a report—that
Lord Clyde was here " on a mission to the Em-
peror" is totally untrue. The gallant general is
travelling entirely for recreation, and lie abstained
from going to the review at the Tuileries yesterday,
in order that he might not obtrude himself upon
the notice of the Emperor. In a day or two he will
leave Paris for Venice, and possibly for Corfu. Ile
is wonderfully strong, and at 75 takes lung walks
which would tire map), a young man.

The Court of Cass atoll to-day, upon entirely
technical grounds, quashed a part of the judgment
against Canon Malet, and referred the case to an
axsixo court to reconsider, without a jury, not the
verdict of guilty,which stands conclusively recorded
against him, but simply the sentence of sir years'
imprisonment. This judgment of the court was
pronounced against the opiuion of Procureur-
General Dupin, who argued that the original sen-
tence ought not to be interfered with.

A letter from Naples of the sth says :—" Last
evening a drama, entitled John Came, was performed!
If a year ago I had been told that a piece so called would be
represented at Naples, I should have thought the prophet
mad! The pion is a traisalation of a French one by IL
Marc Fournier, Lee Libertine de Centre, but the woad
title has been made The Liberals of Geneva, the word 'libe.
?sr possessing great charm for the Italians."

A letter from Rome says :—"The German
journals, which for the last three weeks have been coo.
@hotly announcing that the King of Naples is about to
leave this city, will be surprised to hare that apartments
are being prepared for his Majesty sod all his family in the
Papal villa at Caseelgoodolfo, and that the King intends to
pass the spring there. His Ifijvvty has received from Paris
a magnilkeetly bound copy of the speech of H. Keller, in
the Legislative Be*, es the Italian and Roman questions."
