PARIS, TUESDAY.

The Emperor, private letters state, has found so
much benefit from the sea breezes at Biarritz that
his Majesty will stay there somewhat longer than
he originally intended. As was the case last year,
an auditor of the Council of State goes down every
day with despatches and the correspondence of the
various ministries for his Majesty.
A letter from the island of Cos, in the Archipe-
lago, says :—" Abdullah-Bey, the Governor of the
island of Cos, sent to prison without any motive a
Greek subject named Clapas, and without making
any notification of the fact to M. Avenat, the
Greek consul, or to the other European consuls in the
island. M. Avenat, on hearing of what had been
done, demanded the release of Clapas, but Abdul-
lah-Bey, instead of acceding to the application, in-
sulted the person who brought the message, and
afterwards M. Avenat himself. He also ordered
Clapas to be scourged, and applied the same punish-
ment to the consul's interpreter. He also gave M.
Avenat a slap in the face, and threatened that Clapas
should not leave the prison alive. It is expected
that the Greek Government will demand the re-
lease of Clapas, and the exemplary punishment of
Abdullah-Bey, whose hatred to Christians in gene-
ral, and the Greeks in particular, is but too well
known." It is this incident most probably which
led to the statement in the Nord that the consular
agents of France, Russia, the United States, and
Greece had been murdered.
A letter from Damascus states that Mgr.
Clement, bishop of the Greek Catholic Church, has
resigned his office, and retired to the monastery of
St. Basil, at some distance from Sayda. The cause
of the resignation is that many of his clergy and
flock were deeply offended at his having endea-
voured to have the Gregorian calendar adopted.
Letters received at Brussels announce that King
Leopold passed three days at Geneva, and left on
the 4th to continue his excursion into Germany.
The Duke de Brabant left Brussels the day before
yesterday to visit the principal metallurgical esta-
blishments in the province of Hainault. Baron
James de Rothschild and several other directors of
the Northern Railway Company were expected at
Charler-Oi, to be present at the works of. Saint
Martin when his Royal Highness shall arrive there.

The Milan Gazette of the 4th states that the
Archduke Governor-General arrived there the
previous day from Venice, and proceeded imme-
diately by special train to the Royal villa of Meuza.
The Gazette de Prance makes the following ob-
e.efvations on the article which the Siecle published
the preceding day on the respective naval forces of
France and England, and in which it declared that
the best mode of preventing all collision between
the two countries was to increase the number of
their mutual relations :

" This conclusion is much less haughty than
the commencement, but everything cannot be
asked for at once. The Siecle, we hope, will some
day understand that what it asks from England
is to sign the warrant for her own destruction,
which she certainly cannot agree to. England
has no army, and, being" a naval power, she only
relies on her fleet. She must, under pain of be-
ing no longer counted in the councils of Europe,
continue to be not a but the maritime power.
From the day that she shall admit an equal on the
seas she will have taken her place among second-
rate powers. This is admirably well understood in
England, and it is for that reason that such fury is
now felt against Cherbourg and against our navy,
This will lee also understood in France. France,
as we have before said, may live at peace with
England, but not in alliance or friendship with her."
The same journal, referring to Mr. Roebuck's late
observations at Sheffield, says :

" In the midst of much exaggeration there is a
groundwork of truth in the speech of Mr. Roebuck.
England is an isolated nation, and she can
only be so in the world. That circumstance is
at the same time, her strength and her danger.
Her isolation keeps her clear of many agitations
which periodically disturb the continent, but, in
placing her out of the reach of them, it also keeps
her out of the way of that assistance which the
continental nations can render to each other. Eng-
land is a nation condemned to live alone. Let us
not then disturb her in her solitude, but also let
us not endeavour to seek from her any support."
