OUR PARIS LETTER.

(MOW ova OWN 0011INIPONDENT. )
PARIS, SUNDAY EIZIING.

The bulletin of the Me:siker contains a par s-
msiplt to the following effect:—The King and
Queen of Sweden, accompanied by the Princess
Louisa and her future husband, the Prince Royal
of Denmark, arrived at Christiania on the 21st on
board as state ship, which brought them from
Freileriekshald. The royal family wore received
on landing with tho warmest acclamations. Tho
Clorinde, a frigate of the imperial navy, com-
nituiljtsl by Captain Duperie, which bad been in
the roadstead of Christiania a few days, was gaily
decked with flags, and saluted their Majesties with
12 discharges of cannon. The royal family will
probably remain in the city until the beginning of
October, but not lutes., seeing that the King is to
be present at the opening of the Norwegian
litorthing, which will take place about this period.
The Name bulletin of the official journal also says
that the Consuls-Cencral of France and England
at Beyrout have just made a journey into the dis-
tricts of Is:Lamm, which has enabled them to verify
the good results of the earliest acts of Franc,
Paella. The agents of the two Powers were every-
where receive(' with unequivocal manifastatiens of
respect and gratitude.
There is no news whatever from Spain, and such
journals as choose to say something about the revo-
lution are reduced to the necessity of speculating
in probabilities, to mere invention, or to going over
the ground again which has alreadylieen I,dinglo-1
and hammed. All that we know is that tie.
Quis n and her family are still at St. Sebastian.
and that sle• bas therefrom issued' certain order,
end made sonic military appointments. The infer-
ence to be drawn from this forced detention is
tolerably ar and easily arrived at. •
The NO. and some other offieial journals lately
eennunnced that the Queen of Spain had arrived iu
France. The explanation of the fact seem+ to lis•
this—The Queen is said to have paid a visit in-
,efin de to the Empress. The interview is repr.,-
Fentisl as having is (n very pathetic, and the two
Sovereign wept bitterly; but the Emperor re-
mained immovable, oonfining himself to cold an-1
vague replica to the expressions of grief on the
part of the Spanish Sovereign. If we may trust
report, Isabella is animated with lb great desire to
take refuge on French ground, and it was lately
with the utmost difficulty that her friends pre-
, %ailed upon le r to remain at Saint S, bastian.
wliere she would be perfectly safe until th • last
moment. M. Mon is still at Biarritz.
