PARIS, FRIDAY.
The Message?. de Bayanne mentions the follow-
ing incident which tool place during the recent
visit of their Majesties at Tarbes : '
" The Empress on going to the salle d'aisle would
have no escort, and the Emperor in proceeding to
the breeding stud also dispensed with ali ceremony.
His Majesty drove two beautiful little ponies of
M. Fould, having with him the Minister and the
Marquis de Toulongeon, his aide-de-camp. When
their Majesties, who had met at the cathedral,
Were about to leave that building, the crowd which
had colleCted rqund it was so dense that the Em-
peror and Empress could not pass, and the Em-
peror with a laugh said that ' at present he was
certainly made prisoner.' 'This gracious observation
drew forth a loud cry of Vive l'Empereurr !' Vivo
l'lmperatrice !'"

" The Prince Imperial, who continues, to enjoy
excellent health," says a letter from Biarritz, "rides
out on the beach on a little pony given' him by the
Queen of England. He is always watched with
great interest by the numerous persons who always
assemble near the spot."
1 The follo ing are the terms in which the Minister
of the Inter or has announced to the prefects and
sub•prefects' the approaching return of soldiers to
their homes F—
" PARis, 24th. ,
" The Emperor having ordered that the army
shall'be reduced from a war-footing to a peace one,
the marshal, Minister of War, by a circular of the
22d, has prescribed the sending immediately to
their homes, by anticipation, the soldiers now in
active service whose term of service would expire
at the end of the present year."
At six o'clock yesterday morning the thermo-
meter of M. Chevallier stood at 17 5-10ths centi-
grade (63 Fahr.) ; noon, 30 4-10ths centigrade
(83 2-3ds Fahr.) ; and at two o'clock, 32 6-10ths
centigrade (90 2.3ds Fahr.)
Marshal Neil, to whom the public is indebted for
an account of the siege of Sebastopol, is said to be
preparing a work on the late campaign in Italy.
An unsuccessful attempt has been made to place
the town of Rimini under the Papal authority, but
the people drove out the Swiss soldiery and re-
mained masters of the place.
The Sultan's state is said to be alarming, and re-
ports of his death are in circulation.
The elections for Bologna are fixed for the 28th.
They will be almost unanimous in favour of Italian
liberty.

The Debats contains a long article on the at-
tempt made by some persons in Savoy to effect tile
separation of that province from Piedmont and to
annex it to France. The following is an extract :

" Since the revolutionary parties on both sides excite the
populations of Savoy to separate, we must believe that there
is between the two countries some real cause of repulsion.
That is not a reason why their union should not be main-
tained, for, all things considered, it is useful to both, and it
is probably what best suits Savoy. But. the union should
not be all to the advantage of Piedmont, and all to the
charge of Savoy, for it is just that the good and the bad
should be equally divided between the two countries, and
caso of doubt the balance ought to incline Inwards
kavoy, which is the weakest. But the Sardinian Govern-
Inent seems to feel sore at the attempt made by only a

limited number ofindividuals. What makes us believe it
is that the Sardinian Government persists in maintaining
the exceptional regime -created by the law of the 28th of
April for the time the war should last, and which ought to.
have ceased at the moment the preliminaries- of the peace of
Villafranca were signed.. This regime takesfrora Savoy the
guarantees which liberty, properly understood, would give
her, for it is for the weak that liberty ,is desirable—the strong
and the powerfalwillingly• do without it. , The question of
separation, in ouropinion, so inopportunely raised, and with-
out any Chance of success; amongst the people of Savoy, has
caused the Sardinian,. Government to adopt some measures.
which its friends have seen with pain., The. Ministry has
just suspended three newspapers without waiting for them
to be tried b± the courts, and two of, them are of Savoy,.
The Sardinian Government during the last ten years
adOpted a system which' succeeded, and of which it is now
reaping the recompense. We should see it with regret
;persist in :a very different path, which cannot fail to be
fatal to it, and in which it will very soon compromise the
just influence it had gained over the population of Italy."
The following are the loans at present required
by the Governments of the Duchies in Italy :
Tuscany, 12,000,000 fr. ; Modena, 5;000,000r. ; and
Parma,•3,ooo,ooofr. The city of BolOgna has also
been authorised to raise a sum of 6,000,000 fr.

Council of the Department of the Drome, has deli-
vered an address.; which will be read with much
interest in

Trance &env Austrian pressure, would have preferred at-
taining that objea by a congress rather than by.a war ? The
number and the State of our army at the moment when the
ultimatum of Austria was issued, prove this. And if the
statesmen of England who now consider that enough has
not been done for,the Italians had consented before the war
to express the sympathies which they now manifest, it is to
be presumed that the affairs of Italy'would have been regu-
lated bydiplomacy.. I reptat that after all the Emperor

' to gain popularity, Count de Morny went on to
•
say:— ,•,
" Time and the determination of the Emperor to lead
Franco into the occupations and labours of peace, will, k
doubt not, triumph over chimerical fears. That, gentlemen, '
is the sort of war which we must wage with England. Let
us resolutely terminate our means of conveyance with our
"cold=pitS ; let us reduce the cost pride of all raw materials
and of all our inanufactured articles ; let us imitate the
English in what we are deficient in ; 'let us gain strength
.from, the spirit ofaSsociation without continually requiring
the support of the Government ; let us endeavour to con-
quer, and by prudent use preserve, the liberties which make •
.a man absolute master of his own welfare; and which have
no other limits than the wrong done to ethers. Yet, let ua
make on England a manufacturing and commercial war—a
• conflict of progress and 'civilisation, loyal, avowable, and
which will be advantageous to all. That is what the Em-
peror desires ; let us second his efforts. Already is the
amnesty a work of pacification which is the prelude of the
system into which we are about to enter. Let us hope that
it will be so understood by everybody, especially by those
who are the object of it."

An interesting report addressed by Marshal
Valliant, from Milan. to the French Academy of
Sciences (of which he is a distinguished member),
testifies to the successful results of the discovery of
MM. Come, Demeaux, and Velpeau for the treat-
ment of putrid sores. Among the wounded of Sol-
ferino 20 Austrian soldiers presented wounds which
had become putrid, and emitted a fetid stench. It
was on these 20, separated into four groups, that
four French surgeons experimented with the dis-
infecting process of M. Come. They succeeded
beyond their sanguine hopes, and were enabled to
follow the progress of the ,new ,method with great
accuracy. The surgeon 'has, according to the re•
port, found an auxiliary long sought for in vain
against putrid sores. The letter which gives these
particulars states that the number of French
wounded who are at Milan, Brescia, and Cremona
is still very considerable, though there is a sensible
diminution each day. In'a short time the civil hos-
pitals will be completely emptied, the sick being
gradually removed to the military hospitals, which
are placed under the direction of the surgeons of
the French army. As the patients become conva-
lescent they are transferred to Piacenza, and thence
to Genoa, for embarcation to Toulon or Marseilles.
Hardly a day passes that there do not arrive at
Milan, Brescia, and Cremona mothers or other
female relatives of the young wounded soldiers;
they are all received by the inhabitants in the
kindest manner. I must not omit stating that
many of these mothers or sisters owe to the inex-
haustible generosity of the Empress of the French
the means of reaching the bedside of their children
or their brothers. One instance has fallen under
my own observation. A lady whose circumstances
did not at the moment permit of her visiting her
son, a young soldier who was wounded most
severely at the battle of Solferino, and who is now
in hospital at Cremona with a bullet in his knee ;
she addressed-a letter to the Duchess of Magenta,
the' wife of the gallant M'Mahon, who lost not a
moment in replying, and enclosed the letter to the
Empress. It was the day of their Majesties' de-
parture for the Pyrenees; and, in spite of all the
diligence used, the letter only reached its destina-
tion at six o'clock. At eight o'clock the Empress
left, but at half-past seven a sum amply sufficient
for the expenses of the mother's journey to Cre-
mona was brought to her, and delivered with an
exquisite delicacy which enhanced the gift. The
Empress apparently did not wish to quit Paris and
leave a benefit unaccomplished. This is but one
out of many instances that could be cited.

native on "Wednesdaylast for 1,500 rupees."

' CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL.
The money market is gradually getting easier. The Bank
of Beiagtd has made a further reduction of 1 per cent. all
round in discounts and advances, and it has reduced the
margin on loans on 4 per cent. paper from 35 to 30. During
the-fortnight a great im•orovement has taken•-place in go-
vernment securities. 'The present quotations are—Fours
from 20 to 201 ; Fives, 9 k to 91 ; and Fives-and-a-Half, 5
to 51 per cent. discount. A good deal of business in first
class credit has been done at 2-01. Local bank bills have
been sold 2-0 i ; documents, at 2-0.

• :EXPORTS.
Since the last mail the produce market has exhibited the
same dulness as before. Supplies daily arrive, but there is
'no decided decline in prices, and holders show no desire to
make any concession, as the ,stocks are not considerable,
and they do not seem pzi eased .for funds. Raw silk has been
dealt in rather more freely, but without any change in price.

IMPORTS.
The late arrivals and t he unfavourable accounts from the
upper provinces have be en the cause of buyers holding back.
Accounts lately received. from Mirzaporo and Furruckabad
report a fall of about foLir annas on all descriptions of grey
cottons.
