9 The Emperorhaving arrived in Paris
only IN the evening of the 20th, lis d.
plomacy has not been able vet 10 do much
and we do not know who will aid US. We
depend however On the King Of Naples,
and we count also little Oh the En-.
peror OF Austria, and then on insunec-
tons in Italy and Germany, the noruIa-
tons OF which have been yended & sold
at Vienna, like SO many Aocks of sheen.
Respecting Russia, she has nearly obtain.
ed what she wished she has 81, en- us SO
good lesson, that we shall not be in a
hurry to 90 and seek her and as size will
have nothing to gain in commencing los
Titles against US, it is hoped 4 believed
that she will remain quiet. Prussia alone
las neither influence nor poNerenOugh to
become formidable.

iFingal's departure. Meanwhile ] can
say that colon ial produce las at once e.
perlenced a rise ofe5 per cent. ard few
persons are DISPOSED to sell. Tie fear
OF maritime war, and tie expectations
that the duties will be again greatly IL
creased, are the causes OF that rise. Tie
first cause may disappear if the neutrats
are admitted, as tAereis reason to hore.
There is also great deal o. colonial ro-
duce in France. and it is to ce expected
that if any more should be imported, and
new duties levied, it would remain along
time in entrepot. When | wrote Won
some months ago rot to send cOiCiial
produce, it was because he'd TIE certain.
ty tat orr provisions were ereat, and
would hold out a long time. Ihe present
increase in tie price. is owing 10 eEtra'f-
binary circumstances which 10 hUi'%l
mind could foresee. Only three weeks
ago the event that occupies Us now: |oau
rave been treated as fable.
