CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Monday Evening.

Tbe Moniteur in its bulletin says His Majesty
King William of Prussia, accompanied by Count
Bismarck and General de Moltke, arrived yesterday
at Berlin at six o'clock in the evening, where he
was met by the Princess Royal and the civil and
military authorities of the city. This morning
(yesterday) at ten o'clock the Emperor Alexander
arrived at Potsdam by a special train from Darm-
stadt. The Czar was received by all the Prussian
Royal family. The Emperor, being slightly indis-
posed, was not able to be present at the receptions
which took place to-day (yesterday) at the Palace
of the Tuileries. Her Majesty the Empress re-
ceived their Royal Highnesses the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess of Baden, who arrived in Paris
yesterday incognito.

Theirßoyal Highnesses were accompanied by the
Count and Countess de Flandre, who arrived
E
yesterday at Paris. Baron Beyens, Envoy xtra-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, accompa-
nied their Royal Highnesses.

Ismail Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, has arrived
at Paris, and was received with appropriate cere-
mony at the Lyons Railway Station, by the Pre-
fect of Police and the authorities. The Emperor
sent General Viscount Pajol, one of his aides-de-
camp, and M. Raimbeaux, one of his equerries to
Lyons, to compliment the Viceroy, and to attend
to his wishes while in Paris. Five Court carriages
were in waiting at the station to convey the Vico-
roy and his suite to the Tuileries, which service was
performed with much ceremonial. On their arrival at
the Tuileries, the Viceroy and his chief officers were
formally presented to the Empress. Ismail Pacha
and his suite were then conveyed in the court car-
riages to the pavilion Marsan, where apartments had
been prepared for them.

The Moniteur says that it omitted to give any
account of the departure from Parts of the King of
Prussia, because his Majesty had expressed a desire
that it should take place without any ceremony.
The King of Prussia left Paris on Friday morning
at 10 o'clock. The Emperor accompanied him on
his return home to the Northern Railway station,
where some high functionaries and Baron Roths-
child were assembled to meet him. King William
♦ery warmly and cordially expressed his thanks to
the Emperor for the kind reception given to him in
Paris. The two sovereigns then separated in the
most affectionate manner.

The Polish emigrants continue to protest ener-
getically against the atrocious attempt of the Pole
to murder the Emperor Alexander. Two addresses
have been sent by them to the Emperor, with more
than 300 signatures of Poles resident at Paris.
One of the addresses is from the Poles residing
at Bayonne.

A circular letter from the Democratic Polish
Association, the President of which is General
Mieroslawski, contains the following startling
passage :

" Polish democracy has sufficiently proved, with
raised helmet on the battlefield, that it is not neces-
sary for it to have recourse to any other arms
against its enemies, and that it requires no other
proofs of loyalty for its allies."

The committee elected by the Poles as their re-
presentatives recall to mind, by another circular, that
on the Ist of June they issued a notice to the Polish
emigrants, in which they strongly advised them to
abstain from any hostile demonstration against the
Czar during his stay upon the French territory.
As far as I can ascertain at. present, the new Law
upon the Press, which after some unavoidable delay
has just been submitted to the Chamber, meets with
the approval of all moderate men and all the real
friends of liberty. The Siecle, violent and ultra-
democratic, and ever ready to approve of dangerous
license, is of course dissatisfied with it, but a
better judgment may be found of it from the
opinion given by the Journal des Debats, which
is by no means Ministerial. The Debats says
—" The provisions it contains are far from
satisfying us entirely, but the 'Law, nevertheless,
constitutes a progress, because it relieves the press
from the power of arbitrary administration, and
plat-s it under the regime of legality. However
hard a law may appear to be, provided it be clear

try of modern times has given so much latitude in
safe liberal progress as the present. The Minister
of the Interior, the Marquis de la Valette, who has
the superintendence of the press, has ever been de-
sirous to give it as much free action as possible, and
all the Liberals of France will be grateful for the
extension of privilege and freedom awarded by the
new law.
The Sultan intends to bring with him to Paris
a costly and magnificent present for the Empress
—a model in gold of the Imperial kiosque of the
Ere Deuces. The tower of the edifice is formed
of rubies, the trees which surround it of green
enamel, and the river which encircles it of brilliants.
The river Aid tower are worth nearly three million
francs. This is indeed a model present.
