°REIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The ceremony of the "reconciliation" of the
Church of St. Etienne du-Mont, which, in a catho-
lie point of view, was " polluted " by the murder
of the Archbishop, so as to unfit it for public
Worship until purification, was performed to-day.
Monseigneur Bonneehose, the Bishop of Evreux,
presided at the ceremony. An immense crowd
attended, less, it must be said in truth, out of
respect for the religious rites, than out of curiosity
to see the spot on which the archbishop fell, and
Which, the church having been closed since the
assassination, the public have not yet seen. The
ceremony commenced by blessing the water des-
tined for the purification. The Miserere was then
Chanted, and during the psalm the Bishop of
Evreux, followed by M Surat, the Archdeacon of
St. Genevieve ; M Eglee, vicar general ; Metro-
Politan Master of the ceremonies, the Chapter of
St. Genevieve, and the clergy of St. Etienne du
Mont, proceeded to the exterior of the church,
Where the bishop threw the previously blessed
Water upon the walls. Up to this time only
the clergy above mentioned had been admitted
to the interior of the church. The crowd of priests
and laity who attended unofficially, waited outside.
After the sprinkling of the water, the black hang-
ings were taken down, and the doors thrown open.
Litanies were then sung, the bishop blessed water,
salt, ashes, and wine, and sprinkled them in the
interior of the church- He'then headed a proces-
sion to the spot in the nave where the murder was
committed. While this was going on, the altars,
which, when the doors were opened, had been com-
pletely denuded, were decorated with their usual
ornaments, and the consecrated wafers, which had
been carefully removed from the church, or any
holy place appurtenant to it, to a building in the
neighbourhood, were brought back and placed in
the usual receptacle on the high altar for the
adoration of the faithful.
The Bourse has been very good. The Rente
rose 40c for cash, and 45c for account ; closing at
68f and 68f 30c. Mobilier fluctuated a good deal,
and closed with a fall of 51. The Orleans Railway
rose 20f ; Grand Central, 20f; Western, 10f; and
other lines about sf.
All European affairs being supposed to be com-
fortably settled, and the poor Archbishop of Paris
being quietly interred, the stirring event of this
Week in Paris is likely to be the arrival of Ferukh-
'.nan, the Persian Ambassador, who is expected here
?n Wednesday. He comes with a following of some
hundred persons, among whom, according to report,
/,.1,4,13 many of the most influential personages in
Teheran. England is at war with Persia; Persia
has- invoked the aid of Russia against England ;
France and Russia are not only on most friendly
terms, but if we may credit some of the very latest
news from St. Petersburg, are on the point of con-
elf.ncling an intimate alliance, with the express view
ra. ore
°L Checking English influence in the world, and
Particularly in the East. Under these
eilrournstances, the brilliant reception which that
feairned Persian, Ferukh-Khan, who is so wonder-
ullY well read in Greek history, is likely to receive
/!t the Tuilleries, cannot but be regarded with
e?core than ordinary interest. It must not, how-
_liver, be expected that until the fulness of time
a Ming will transpire officially to throw the
vslightest doubt upon the heartiness of the Anglo-
. .!enoh alliance, which has lately been demon•
the
in so striking a manner by the settlement of
two
disputed treaty, and the common action of the
Lwo2_ Powers in the affair of Neufchatel.
t.The publication of the marriage of Count de
.fv.t_ °my with Mdlle. Troubeskoi, which the French
French
requires in the case of the marriage of a
t'.._rench subject abroad, has b ,en posted at the
Alayoralty of the 6th Arrondissement.
The French episcopal bench has just lost
.another of its members. Mgr. d'Aramoles, Arch-
bishop of Aix, in Provence, expired on the oth, at
e archiepiscopal palace, shortly after having
received extreme unction.
