EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(From the Times.)

We have just received, by an extraordinary conveyance,
dl the Paris journals of Saturday, and the Gazette de
France and Messaper de Chambres, dated yesterday ;
likewise a large packet of journals and letters from our
private correspondents, to the latest date, in various parts
if the Continent. We have not room for more than a
(ew extracts.

There was an express on Saturday in Paris from St.
Petersburgh to the 28th of May : it contained no political
Intelligence of late date from the armies.
We have also letters from Berlin to the sth instant
They convey what we have the best reason fur believing
to ba an exaggerated account of the Polish losses in the
late battles. The Polish Generali6simo was, we know.
still before Praga on the lat instant, and his brave corps
full of spirit and enterprize.
By our private letters, a great panic appears to prevail
among the money•jobbers of Paris, arising chiefly out of
apprehensions upon the state of Belgic affairs. The French
Government, and the Opposition are iu fierce activity in
preliminary electioneering movements. Indeed, the state
of France itself, and the party excitement of which it is so
susceptible, are, according to some accounts, calculated to
produce general uneasiness, but this inquietude will probably
yield before a firm and prudent administration of the Go-
vernment..

" The Journal du Commerce says—c The secretary of
the Duke de Nlortemart arrived at Paris from St. Peters-

burgh in the coarse of the night, and the Duke himself is
said to be hourly expected. It was remarked, that on
'Change yesterday a great quantity of renter were sold on
account of Russian houses. On the 30th ult., General
Romanow, of the Emperor of Russia's staff, and the Che-
valier Lobry, his secretary, arrived at Amsterdam, from St.
Petersburgh and Hamburg.'
" The Secretary of the Spanish Embassy at Vienna ar-
rived on Thursday night at the Spanish embassy at Paris,
on his way, in great haste, to Madrid. It is said that his
despatches are of great importance. This messenger con-
tinued his journey as soon as he h .d delivered despatches to
the Count d'Ofalia.

" The Ternps says—' All kinds of alartning reports
were set afloat yesterday. The news of the unexpected
arrival of Marshal Soult, and of hostile resolutions on the

part of our Cabinet, engrossed the public mind. Upon
making inquiry in the proper quarter, we find that the
first statement is false. The second, probably, is also
without foundation.'
