FRANCE.

PARIS, FRIDAY.

The Pays of this evening says :—" The Court
will go to Compiegne on the Ist of November. It
is asserted that during the sojourn of the Emperor
and the Empress there the Emperor of Austria will
pay a visit to their Majesties."
The contradiction given to the rumours in cir•
culation yesterday has caused the Bourse to open
this morning at a considerable recovery.

rl ly andasilsg ature of peace and a meet-
ing of the European Powers in Congress to settle
the affairs of Italy. The Patric says :—" All the
difficulties which up to the present time had ren-
dered that union doubtful appear to have vanished.
Those difficulties were serious. In the first place
Austria was determined to hold to the Villafranca
treaty, and declined any superior jurisdiction. On
the other hand, England demanded the previous re
cognition of the rights and voice of the Italian
people. The Patric concludes that concessions on
both sides have been made on account of the
firm attitude of the Italians of Central Italy, and
therefore a Congress has become more than ever a
necessity. _ _

The C onstitutionnel thus confirms the informa-
tion you have received :—" Several journals attach
credit to rumours which are very inexact relative
to the delay in the deliberations at Zurich. As we
have had more than one occasion to declare there is
ever.) reason to expect that the signing of the defini-
tive treaty of peace will soon take place. The con-
tracting Powers are in accord on all the stipulations
which are to form the subject of the treaty
with the exception of that relating to the
Lombard debt, on which there is a difference of
opinion ; but eTery thing leads to the hope that this
difficulty will be promptly removed. As to the
new questions which are not to be regulated by
treaty, they will be submitted to a Congress, for
the union of which all the great Powers are now
also in accord."

M. de Bormida, the French Envoy at Turin, bas
arrived in Paris. lie will wait on the Emperor

to-morrow.

M. de Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador, saw
the Emperor to-day, and leaves immediately for
Warsaw. Count Walewski received to-day Lord
Cowley and the diplomatic corps.
The news from Spain shows that the Government
of Madrid is prepared and determined to punish
the Moors. The period fixed for coming to an
arrangement expires on the 15th (to-morrow), we
may therefore conclude hostilities will commence.
English and French ships of war are hovering
about the Straits of Gibraltar.

The _Espana has accounts from Tangiers to the
effect that Mr. Drummond Hay, the English Con-
sul-General, whilst riding in the town a few days
before, saw a Moor take aim at him with a gun,
but that he rushed on the man, disarmed him,
and made him a prisoner; also, that two days be-
fore this event, the Secretary to the English
Consulate in the same town was fired at, but not
hit.

The French intelligence from China comes down
to the 10th Aug. In addition to the news already
published, the following facts are mentioned :
" Rear-Admiral Page, appointed to the command
of the Indo-Chinese naval division, in place of
Vice-Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, whose time of
service has expired, arrived at Hong Kong by the
last steamer, coming from Europe via Suez. After
the attack on the forts at Taku, the commanders of
the allied forces blockaded the two arms of the
Peiho, and captured several Chinese junks. This
measure produced a great effect on the population
along the coast, for the traffic of the Peiho is very
active. The Governor of Petcheli, under those cir-
cumstances, had recourse to a singular step, which
shows the duplicity of the Chinese. He sent to

inquire the reason why the coasts of the province
were blockaded, and of course received an answer
which fully enlightened him on that subject. The
French squadron has to regret the death of M.
Bary, a naval cadet, who had been severely
wounded at Peiho. This young man was much
beloved by his comrades and esteemed by his supe-
riors. He died without knowing that the Empe-
ror on learning his brave conduct had made him a
knght of the Legion of Honour. M, de Bourboulon,
the French Minister in China, had not returned to
Macao ; he remained at Shanghai, to be nearer the
centre of events. The town was tranquil and busi-
ness had not been interrupted. The fermentation
which had appeared during some few days had
gradually calmed down. A slight disturbance had
occurred at Voosung, but that incident, which was
occasioned by the complaint of several Chinese
sailors employed on board some vessels in the opium
trade, had nothing to do with politics, being simply
a question of wages."
