The Emperor, being slightly indisposed, was
unable to be present at the receptions at the
Tuileries yesterday, the Grand Duke and Duchess

yesterday. General Pajol, de Raimbaux, and
the Prefects of the Seine and of Police received him
at the railway station, and escorted his Highness to
the Tuileries in Court carriages, where he was re-
ceived by the Empress. lie will reside in the
Pavillon Maison.

The Moniteur, giving
an account of the de-
parture of the King of Prussia, says it was the de-
sire of his Majesty to leave Paris without ceremony.
The King warmly thanked the Emperor for the
reception he had had in Paris, and the two Sove-
reigns parted on most affectionate terms.
The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric situation yesterday :-
4, Since Thursday, the barometer has fallen 10 mm.
in the Baltic, whilst it has varied but little in Ireland
and Portugal. This movement is owing to a gale
which passed to the north of Scotland. The winds,
after having blown from the W. in the Channel and
north of France, have returned this morning to the
N. W. in England and the North Sea. The sky is
generally cloudy ; rain is still falling on some
points of the north of France, but not so generally
as before. The weather is calm in the Mediterra-
nean, and the barometer has fallen greatly in the
Adriatic. The difference of pressure between the
two extreme points of the meteorological network,
Ilaparanda (Gulf of Bothnia) and Lisbon, is 18 mm.

ened a continuation of the heavy rain wnich had
fallen during the previous night, but became clearer
in the afternoon. At three the thermometer marked
