FRANCE.

M. de Lavalette has left Paris, but not for Rome.
He is gone, some assert, to England ; others merely
to the country. His temporary absence is said to
have been suggested by a personage whose hints
he would not venture to gainsay. He feels very
warmly on the affair between him and General
Goyon, and he has not concealed his feelings. He
not only has not concealed them, but he has spoken
frequent].) and vehemently on it in every society
and almost on every occasion. This was found to
be indiscreet, and perhaps prejudicial to the easy
settlement which is contemplated ; and, as it was
difficult to secure absolute silence, it was hinted
that it would be well to seek for a time some diver-
sion away from Paris and its gossips. I cannot add
much to what I told you a week or ten days ago on
the solution of this petty episode of the " Roman
question." The probability, I will not venture to
say certainty, of Lavalette's return to Rome and
Goyon's recall to France, with leave of absence
" on urgent private affairs," still continues, while
the troops would be left under the orders of the
officer now second in command, Goyon remaining
nominally the chief, This of course would be
merely to save appearances, and to spare him the
mortification of defeat; and his feelings might be
further soothed by his elevation to the rank and
dignity of Senator; and if this does not console
him he must be unreasonable indeed. Thus stand
matters at this moment as between Lavalette and
Goy on.

But, however this difference be settled, it is well
to bear in mind that there are two questions before
us—the maintenance of the Pope's temporal power,
and the presence of the ex-King of Naples at Rome.
On the former no one that I know of believes that
the Emperor will change his mind, or that there is
any real foundation for the statements of the
Patrie about Cardinal Antonelli being in a more
conciliatory mood. So long as Pius IX. lives, so
long will the Emperor keep him where he ii, and

in possession of what he still holds. His .Majesty
may be more flexible about the King of
Naples. Since M. de Lavalette's arrival in Paris
there have been indications that the King's resi-
dence in Rome, with which the brigandage in
Southern Italy is so intimately connected, will at
no distant day come to a close. The outcry on all
sides is too great to be much longer resisted ; and.
even should General Goyon retain his command, the
Papal Government will be under the necessity of
getting rid of its obnoxious guest. If King Francis
quit Rome under compulsion he will probably take
refuge at Trieste. No doubt, at Trieste the expe-
ditions to Naples would go on as before. Remon-
strances would then be made at Vienna, and Vienna►
would perhaps plead the same ignorance that Turin
pleaded when the expedition to Sicily was planned
and prepared at Genoa. In such case there would
be some danger of a rupture between Austria and
Victor Emmanuel. To obviate this difficulty Bar-
i celona is suggested as a suitable residence for the
Royal exile.
BOURSE, April 17.—The market continues firm,
with a fair amount of business doing. Threes, for
for the Account, are now at 70f 45c. The operations
in the Railway Share Market have not been gene-
rally animated, the movement being confined to
some few of the leading lines. The market became
rather heavy towards the close, and closed as fol-
lows :
