CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Monday Evening.
As none of the journals appeared this morning,
Whit Sunday having been a holiday at all the
printing-offices, the Parisians are destitute of the
great luxury of discussing the news of the day.
For once, however, the deprivation is not missed,
for Whit-Monday being also a holiday, and the
weather being fine and apparently settled, half the
population is gone to the Steeplechases at La
Marche, the Exhibition, or the promenade.
The Journal dc St. Petersburg, received in Paris

to-day, says :
" The telegraph has proved that the Emperor
of Russia was received on his passage by the accla-
mation of the crowd. The sympathy of this re-

ception proves that the French nation, in spite of
certain party writers, too often led away by passion,
knows how to appreciate the Monarch of whom Russia
is proud, and the acts of a reign which from
the present time has its place marked among the
pages which history consecrates to the eulogium of
all that is wise, foreseeing, useful, and great.

Happy the Sovereigns who, travelling from their
States, hear around them the expressions of sym-
pathy and respect mingled with the grateful enthu-
siasm and respect of their people. Happy the
Sovereigns who attract the gratitude of Europe as
well as that of their own country !"
Some contradictory accounts have been in circu-
lation respecting the Treaty alleged to have been

concluded between Prussia and the States of the
South for the reconstitution of the Zollverein. An
account from Berlin alleges that no such treaty has
been agreed to, although the various Governments
have come to an understanding upon the basis
of some new arrangement having that object
in Tiew. On the other hand, a despatch from
Munich says that Wurtemberg and Baden have
agreed to such a treaty under the reservation that
there should be a delay of three weeks for its ratifi-

cation. Bavaria has not yet given an opinion upon
the subject, but there is little doubt of the adhesion

convention
favourably received by the Italian Parliament.
Three new commissioners have been • appointed to
examine the project of law. Discussions have taken
place, and from the tenour of them it would appear
that some essential modifications in the proposed
law are likely to take place.
In the course of a discussion in the Chamber, the
Minister, M. Rouher, said it was the desire of the
French Government that the proposed laws relative
to the press and to public meetings should be passed
this session. " There is nothing in recent or ante-
cedent events," said M. Rouher, " to shake the con-
victions of the Government upon the subject."
The port of the Exhibition presented a novel and
interesting spectacle a day or two ago. - The yachts
were all ornamented with flags, and there was a
large assemblage. Theifmpress, accompanied by
the Princess of Prussia, was received by the Com-
missary-General, and the committee of pleasure
navigation embarked for St. Cloud with their suite
on board the steam-yaoht Puebla. The Princess
Matilde embarked on board the Daughter of the
Nile (Bench-Nil Dahabie), belonging to the Ring
of Egypt. Her royal highness was received on
board by M. C. Edmond, Commissary-General of
the Egyptian Exhibition, several naval officers, and
members of the jury of the class. The twelve
Nubian rowers were in the picturesque costume of
their country—red coats, white pantaloons, and
white turbans—and the boat descended slowly to
St. Cloud. Two steam-yachts, the Mouche, be-
longi ngtoPrince Napoleon, and the Vauban escorted
the Daughter of the Nile. The Royal party, after
a short stay, the weather being unfavourable, re-
turned back, and the Dahabie was anchored off the
Exhibition. The Nubians played some of their
native music in the course of this novel excursion.
An ingenious apparatus, the invention of M.
Thierry, is to be seen in operation in the Park of
the Exhibition for the consumption of smoke and
the economy of coal in the generation of steam.
This apparatus may be adapted to various machines
for which steam is employed, and it is said to be
successful.
In the evening when the building is closed the
Park presents a scene of unparalleled attraction and
beauty. There are countless buildings of all kinds
of architecture, and affording specimens of the build-
ings of Turkey, Egypt, China, Tunis, and indeed of
the Far East and Far West. There are Turkish
divans and other places of assembly, and you may
see all ports of costumee and partake of all kinci4 of
