PARIS, MONDAY,

A letter from St. Sauveur says :—" Colonel the
Marquis de Toulongeon, aide-de-camp to the Em-
peror, has written to the mayor of Pau to state
that as his Majesty will be obliged to remain to the
12th at St. Sauveur to complete the season he will
not have a day to spare, E.nd their Majesties, con-
sequently, are obliged to give- up all idea of passing
through that place: It has been stated that t e
Emperor and Empress made an excursion to Cau-
terets. The first person their Majesties received
there was an old woman of 71, who had been bath-
ing-woman to Queen Hortense on her Majesty's
visit to Caute:•ets: The Emperor gave her a most
kind reception, and after presenting her to the Em-
press, interrogated her about her age and position,
and also as to what she remembered of his august
mother. She was dismissed with a handsome present.
As their Majesties w.ere about to enter their car-
riage to leave, the mayor offered the Emperor a small
medal, and gave this history of it. It was given by
Queen Hortense to the man who had acted as her
guide, and he preserved it as a precious relic to the
time of his decease at an advanced age, 12 years
ago. On his death-bed he called his son and said,
Take this medal, and present it to the son of Queen
Hortense when he comes to Cauterets !' The Em-
peror and Empress appeared much moved at this
statement, and the former acceptild the medal. In
the course of their stay their Majesties visited the
Lake de Gaube. His Majesty having there per-
ceived a boat, examined it to ascertain that it and
the oars were sound. He then requested the Em-
press to enter, and her Majesty after some hesitation
did so. The Emperor afterwards for some time
rowr d the Empress about, and displayed a skill in
rowing which surprised the persons who witnessed
the scene."

The lndependance of Brussels has the following :
—" A letter which we have received from Paris
speaks of a project for establishing a kingdom of
Etruria, with Prince Napoleon at the head of it.
The writer pretends that Austria and France have
come to an understanding to regulate the affairs
of Central Italy by a direct and personal under-
standing between the two Emperors. The combi-
nation proposed, which in the eyes of its pro-
moters takes equally into account both monarchi-
cal and popular rights, is to this effect :—The
Archdukes are to cede to the head of the house of
Hapsburg, as chief of their family, the rights
which they respectively possess to Tuscany and
Modena, and the Emperor Francis-Joseph, in his
turn, is to cede the same to Prince Napoleon. The
Prince is then to add to these possessions Parma
and the Legations, and the whole are to form a
kingdom of Etruria of which he is to be King.
Nevertheless, as regards the Legations, the Prince
is onlv to govern them as vassal of the Church, and
is to pay homage and tribute to the Pope. On his
part, the Emperor of the French is to use his
influence with Victor Emmanuel to induce him to
persuade the populations of Central Italy to give
their suffrages to Louis Napoleon. It is said that
it was in order to submit this plan to the Emperor
Napoleon that Prince Richard de Metternich went
to St. Savueur. The persons who put these
rumours in circulation add that the Archdukes
have given their consent to the plan. The
Duke of Modena, they say, will not even
ask for a compensation, as he has no children,
and as on his death his States revert to the Crown
of Austria. Of the Duke of Parma nothing is said ;
but as to the son of Leopold H. of Tuscany, Fen: i-
nand IV, it is said that an equivalent has been
promised him in the remodelling of the East, which
would be the object of the new Austro-French al-
liance. It is even said that the compensation made
to this Prince may be the throne of the Danubian
Principaltlics• These Principalities desire to be go-
verned by a foreign Prince, and would try to in-
duce Colonel Couza to retire, provided Europe con-
sents to place them under the sceptre of a foreign
and Christian Prince."
The Lidependance remarks as follows on the
preceding rather startling statements
As in these agitated times no indication which
nay lead to the discovery of truth must be ne-
glected. we have not thought right to withhold the
above details. They may have no serious founda-
tion—may be the inventions of newsmongers who
know not what else to say ; but they may also be of
diplomatic origin, and in that case it would not be
judicious to reject them as pure inventions. In Italy
the plan proposed would not encounter any great
difficulties ; but the same would not be the case
amongst the great powers of Europe. England, in
