FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Times' (second edition) says the Emperor
gave a ball last night at St. Cloud. I allude to
it more for the purpose of remarking on the ex-
aggerated reports which have been for some time
past current respecting the health of the Empress
than for anything else. According to some of these
accounts she was in a deplorable condition, and
I believe. it has been even stated that she had
nearly lost the use of her limbs. All I can say is,
that last night her Majesty was ptesent in the ball
room at 10 o'clock, and that she did not leave her
guests until past 2. She walked several times from
the ball room to the refreshment room, and was to
all appearance as animated as any of! the party.
She was accompanied by the Emperor, and
Prince Napoleon, the Archduke of Austria, and
Prince Oscar. She conversed for some time with an
English gentleman, said to be General Brown, and
she chatted for a good while with Count Orloff, who
certainly had little appearance of having"sore eyes."
On taking leave of Her Majesty the gallant old gen-
tleman bent his head, and pressed the Empress's
hand to his lips, with all the graceful bearing of a
consummate courtier. The Empress looked very
well, though a little thin, and there was observable
a slight stoop in her shoulders. The Emperor never
appeared in better spirits, and among the ladies
with whom he danced were the Princess do Ligne
and Madame S?ebach.

It was remarked that the Belgian Minister was
not present, though the other members of the Le-
gation were. It is surmised that his absence on
the occasion may be accounted for by the not over
friendly relations existing between the Belgian and
French Courts. The company did not separate till
three o'clock.

The Senate met yesterday—M. Troplong in the
chair. The bill on patents was brought up. The
Marquis de Pastoret read a report on the bill
granting 400,000 f. for the expense of the baptism
of the Prince Imperial ; and the discussion on the
measure having at once taken place, the Senate
declared unanimously by 107 votes that there was
no reason to oppose its promulgation. A similar
decision was come to with respect to ten 10641 bills.
Reports on petitions were presented by General
the Marquis de Grouchy, the Marquis de Pastoret,
Viscount de Sulean, Count de Marois, President
Daviel, and M. Berger. The discussion on the
bill to authorise the establishment of a municipal
tax on carriages and horses circulating in Paris
was postponed to the next sitting, in consequence
of the indisposition of the reporter. The proceed-
ings then terminated.
The Moniteur publishes the decree by which the
session of the Legislative body is extended to the
evening of the 21st June.
The .111oniteur contains the following :

The universal exhibition of cattle and agricultural pro-
ductions, which is to open on the Ist of June, offers to
agriculturists an opportunity they will not fail to appre-
ciate for .procuring animals for breeding of different
kinds and from different countries, and which may best
suit their agricultural situation. This exhibition, in
which almost all the countries in Europe have eagerly
consented to take part, will present such an assemblage
of picked animals as has never befors bean seen, both as
regards number and quality. It appears, therefore, use-
ful to re:nind a;riculturists of the important advantage
which is offered to them by Art. 30 of the ministerial
decree on the subject of this exhibition, by which the
animals exhibited ate 3 allowed to be sold by public auc-
tion or by private contract. This sale will take place
on the day after the close of the exhibition ; but there is
nothing to prevent private arrangements being made
during the period of the exhibition for the ptirciia,se of
animals and of agricultural productions and implements,
on the condition only that no removal of them can take
plane until the close.
The Minister of War has received from Marshal
Count de Castellahe the following tellegraphic de-
spatch :
LYONS, 22d, 4 p.m.-The division of Gen, de Failly
—the 10tb, 57th, Gist, and 85th Regiments of infantry
of the line, and the let battalion of foot Chasseurs—has
made its entry into this city. Its march through the
streets was a perfect ovation in the midst of the people,
crying ' Vive l'Enipereur !" Viva l'Arma and covering
generals, officers, and soldiers with flowers. Crowns were
attached to the eagles of the regiments, and the houses
were all dressed out with flags. The martial hearing of
the troops made a deep impression on the people. The
scene was magnificent.
The Gazette de Lyon, under date of the 221,
5 p.m., says
The division of General de Failly is now making its
triumphal entry ; the population of Lyons form two
compact lines, through which the division passes, and
they hail with pride the' colours of the regiments, soiled
by the duet of the battle-field, or riddled by the balls of
the enemy. A thrill of joy and admiration runs through
the crowd and agitates every heart. What a grand and
magnificent spectacle. Bouquets fall in a complete
shower. The houses are decorated with flags, and a
triumphal arch is erected at the entrance of La Guillo-
tiere, on the Lyons side.
A Paris letter in the independance of Brussels
says :—" It is now positively stated that Prince
Napoleon himself will proceed to Civita Vecchia
to fetch Cardinal Patrizi. The Duchayla, steam-
corvette, which conveyed Rear-Admiral Jurien La
Graviere and the French officers to the naval re-
view at Spithead, has been selected for this ser-
vice. It is said that the Abbe Coquereau will
accompany the Prince. The visit of the Empe-
ror to Algeria is again spoken of for the month
of September. Fresh orders have been given for
laying down as promptly as possible the Mediter-
ranean sub-marine electric telegraph cable. Mr.
Brett, the director of the works, has an English
vessel at his disposal, and the French Government
has also appropriated to his use the Tartare steamer,
and given him the assistance of a Government
engineer. Important personal projects of the
Emperor with regard to Algeria are also spoken of.
It is said that nothing less ia in contemplation
than to make the African color!, a sort of national
domain, and to form large estates there, which will
be given as recompenees to, such persons, particu-
larly among the high dignitaries of the army, as
shall have appeared to merit them from the Sove-
reign and from the country."
