The Emperor, having passed successively in front of
all the lines, took his station opposite the Pavilion
de l'Horloge and distributed the rewards to many of
the soldiers. The defile was executed with remark-
able precision and effect, in the midst of continual
cries of " Long live the Emperor," " Long live the
Empress," and " Long live the Imperial Prince."
Prince Napoleon yesterday assumed the Presi-
dency of the International Monetary Commission.
In opening the proceedings, his Imperial Highness
remarked upon the importance of the object in
view, and insisted upon the necessity of coin-
ing to some practical result without any delay.
Ho hoped the subject wonl I be discussed in a
spirit of conciliation, and that mutual sacrifices of
opinion would be made, if necessary. The meet-
ing expressed cordial approval of these sentiments.
Upon the proposal of Count d'Avila, the repre-
sentative of Portugal, two resolutions were unani-
mously agreed to—one expressive of grateful
thanks to the Emperor for appointing Prince Na-
poleon as President ; and the other expressing the
thanks of the Commission to M. Parieu for his
conduct while presiding as Chairman previous to
the appointment of Prince Napoleon.
Count Bismarck, who has leave of absence for
a long period, has retired to his chateau in Pome-
rania, and will not resume his functions till the
month of August, when the Federal Council will
assemble. In his absence, M. de Thile, Under-
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will perform
the duties of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Accounts from Florence state that a body of
foolish young men, armed, to the number of 200, a
few days ago attempted an invasion of the Pon-
tifical territory near Terni. They were arrested by
the Italian posts of observation, after having passed
the frontier. About 60 were captured and sent to
prison. The rest of the troop succeeded in escap-
ing. No importance is attached to this insensate
attempt at mischief, which is disavowed equally
by the revolutionary party and the agents of the
Roman Democratic Committee. This manifesta-
tion is an isolated act, having no connection with
political feeling in Italy. Garibaldi has nothing to
do with it.

On Tuesday evening there was a grand banquet
at the International Club at the Exhibition to the
founders of the Central Union of the Fine Arts, ap-
plied to industry. More than 300 persons were
present, and there were speeches and toasts in be-
half of the connection between art and industry.
Letters from Vienna state that the Emperor and
Empress of Austria will certainly arrive at Paris
towards the end of July. They will come incognito,
accompanied by M. de Beust.

A grand banquet is to be given this evening to
_ _

the Viceroy of Egypt by the City of Paris. The
Viceroy makes the most of his time. Yesterday he
was at the Exhibition in the Champ de Mars.
Early this morning he went to the Agricultural
Exhibition at Billancourt, and to-morrow I shall
send some very interesting particulars connected
with his visit. In some countries people seem
to do business while asleep. At least this was
the case with the Viceroy of Egypt when
he went to the Exhibition in the Champ
de Mars. He seemed fatigued immediately
after his arrival, and proceeding to his parlour
he stretched himself comfortably on the sofa, and
said he should have a quiet nap. His highness,
however, said to Mr. Raimbeaux who accompanied
him, "While I am asleep go and buy me a few
curiosities." In answer to the question, the Vice-
roy told M. Raimbeaaux he was not particular as to
what he bought. He might buy what he liked.
M. Raimbeaux upon this hint took a tour of inspec-
tion, and bought some " unconsidered trifles" to
the amount of 200,000 f., while the Viceroy was
enjoying his siesta, so that he must have been wide
awake while the Viceroy was asleep.]
There is again a wonderful change of weather.
After a very cold morning, in the afternoon it be-
came oppressively hot.
Paris is inundated with alarming reports about
Mexico. One of the latest is that the city of Mexico
has been captured by Juarez.
A grand banquet of 8,000 covers is to be given

by the Exhibitors to the Emperor. It will take
place in the Tuileries gardens, by permission. M.
Schneider, President of the Legislative Body will

preside.

THE REPORT ON THE CHURCH PRO-
PERTY BILL.

FLORENCE, June 27 (Evening).

In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies
Signor Ferraris presented the report of the Com-
mittee upon the bill for levying an extraordinary
tax on the ecclesiastical property. The report is
fixed for discussion after the Budget.
The following are the proposals of the Com-
mittee :—The unification and extension of the laws
for the suppression and conversion of all ecclesi-
astical property, excepting only such as may be-
long to the parishes. An extraordinary tax of 30
per cent. is to be levied on all the ecclesi-
astical property rte.
All landed pro-
perty of the
of the State, and be managed and sold by provincial
commissioners, who will be superintended by a
central commission. The duty of the latter will
also be to control the financial operation, to fix the
sale price of estates, as well as to issue mortgage
bonds specially guaranteed by these estates, and re-
deemable at par in 15 years. This operation is to
be continued until the advance of 400 million of
lires on the value of these estates can be obtained.
In conclusion, the report points out the neces-
sity that these financial operations should be accom-
panied by the strictest economy, and also combine
with a reform of the system of public accounts and
of the collection of taxes, and with au improvement
of the ordinary budget by means of new taxes.
The Minister of the Interior, replying to a ques-

tion, said that he would take measures to prevent
an early prorogation of Parliament. The Chamber
then passed to the discussion of the budget of the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and some of the
Deputies asked that reductions should be made in
the salaries of the diplomatic agents.
The Nazione of to-day states that Signor Ferrara
had tendered his resignation, and that Signor
Rattazi had assumed the portfolio of Finance ad
interim.

The Gazette contradicts the rumour that General
Cialdini had tendered his resignation, but confirms
the fact that General La Marrnora had resigned,
but that his resignation had not been accepted.
