CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Friday Evening.
The Moniteur of this morning states that the
Emperor and Empress yesterday received his High-

ness the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, who is
travelling privately. Their Majesties also received
Prince Albert, Prince Royal of Saxony, and the

Princess Caroline, Princess Royal of Saxony

They also come to Paris incoguito.
On the occasion of the visit of the Emperor of
Russia to Berlin, on his return, King William, on

Monday last, passed in review the troops of the
Guard, the Regiment of Cuirassiers of Branden-
burg, which still has the name of the late Emperor
Nicholas, and the Regiment of Uhlans, which bears
the same of the Emperor Alexander. In the even-

ing the Emperor left Berlin for Warsaw.
The Moniteur has the following announcement :
—" At the departure of our mail from South
America, the epidemic cholera was sensibly dimin-
ishing at Buenos Ayres and in the ports of the
Parana, and consequently the Provisional Govern-
ment had just revoked by a decree of the 13th of
May that of the 23d of April, which placed all the
ports of the republic in absolute interdiction with
Buenos Ayres and the:coasts of the Parana, but at
the same time enforcing a quarantine of several
days. The last news from the theatre of war in
Paraguay does not give an account of fresh mili-
tary movements. The bombardment of Curupaity
was proceeding vigorously, in spite of the cholera.
It was thought at Montevideo that Marshal Caxias,
the Commander-in-Chief of the allied • forces, in-

tended to delay any decisive action until the spring
and the troops were making arrangements for the
occupation of their winter quarters. The Cham-

bers of Brazil were opened on the 22d of May
by the Emperor Don Pedro in person, in a speech
in which he promised many important reforms.
His Excellency Djemil Pacha, Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of his Majesty
the Sultan, has bad the honour of being received
by the Emperor to introduce to him his Excellency
Kiamil Bey, Grand Master of the Ceremonies to
the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey.
Aide -de - Camp General Hassam Ali Khan,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary
of H.M. the Schah of Persia, has also had the
honour of being received by the Emperor to remit
to his Majesty the letters which put an end to his
mission. Hassan Ali Khan presented to the
Emperor General Mirza-Youssef Khan, who will

remain in Paris as charge d'affaires of Persia.

The Emperor has paid a visit to the Viceroy o
Egypt at the Pavilion de Marsan at the Tuileries
immediately after which His Highness went to the
Palace of St. Cloud to offer his homage to the

received his
and
august visitor very affably and warmly, and
thanked him for his gracious attention.
As to illustrious visitors, " the cry is still they
come." The Sultan of Turkey will be here by
the end of the month. Some magnificent horses
belonging to the Emperor of Austria have pre-
ceded his Majesty, and are on their way to Paris
from Nancy in the care of his grooms. The
Liberte asserts positively that Mr. Johnson, the
President of the United States, means to come
and see the Exhibition in July, and that he will
be accompanied by Mr. Seward. Another paper
asserts that Juarez is coming all the way from
Mexico. The Sultan, Abdul Aziz the First, was
born on the 9th of February, 1830, and is conse-
quently 37. He will be accompanied to Paris by
his two nephews, sons of the late Abdul Medjid,
and his own son. Eehenac Murad Effendi, the
elder of his nephews, who was born on the
21st of September, 1810, is the heir to the throne,
the succession to the throne in Turkey being the
right, not of the eldest son, but of the eldest
member of the Imperial family. Three Arabian
horses will arrive with the illustrious strangers
for their especial use during their stay in Paris.
The Emperor AlexAnder had a favourite dog,
called My Lord, which he was desirous to bring
with him to Paris, but was dissuaded from doing
so. This dog always slept in the room next to the
Emperor, and used to accompany him in his walks
and drives. When the Emperor left home the dog
pined and fretted and refused food, and in two or
three days a telegram was despatched to the Em-
peror at Paris to inform him that it was dead, which
news very much grieved and affected his Majesty.
In Russia there is a tradition that when a person
has a favourite dog which dies it is an augury of
some misfortune, and the death of My Lord has by
some been considered as a prognostic of the attempt
in the Bois de Boulogne, which almost immediately
fol!owed that occurrence.
To-day at 10.20 evening, according to the
almanack, summer commences, but as a matter of
f_►ct the nights of late have been as chilly as is usual
in March and April. To-day a cold wind has pre-
vailed, and it has been dry, but the sun has only
been seen at intervals.
Alarm has been caused at the small town of
