The Paris correspondent of the European
Times under date of the 18th ultimo says Paris
is emptyng very fast all the beau monde being
OIL 10 the watering places in Germany, the pro-
vlnces, the sea coast, or England. The heat Of
late has been most intense. People at present
live as much out of doors, and much in the
shade as possible.
Texas had, on its being declared independent,
entered into commercial treaty with France,
very favorable to the latter. In discussion in
the Chamber, deputy demanded that the MAIN
tenance of that treaty should be insisted upon,
Notwithstanding the annexation of Texas to the
United States. The Minister of Commerce stated
that negotiations on the subject were IN progress.
The official MoniteW has announced that Mr..
King, the American Minister, has had private
interview with Louis Philippe, to present to his
Majesty the reply of President Polk to the notf-
cation of the birth of the Prncesse Marguerite
dOreans, one of the Kings grand daughters.
One step towards the abolition OF the odious and
stupid quarantine laws has been made by this
country, 10y the PRONUNCIATION Of an ordinance,
that Tor the future the time occupied in n voyage
shall be counted as part of the quarantine This
vellers. 1t is fact that the quarantine laws are
monstrously injurious TO France inasnuch as
they drive French people coming from the East
t, pass by England, SO as to avoid detention at
Marseilles. All the dispatches from the Chinese
Embassy, for example, were brought via Eng
land. Yet, strange to say, the quarantine has
been demonstrated to be of no use, for recent in
designations of high medical authorities have prov
ed that the plague is not contagious!
The royal families of France and Russia have
hitherto been on bad terms with each other, the
Emperor Nicholas having great dislike to King
Louis Philippe; and this has caused such an i'll
feeling between the governments of the two coun-
tries, that the ordinary diplomatic relations are
not kept up, OF late, however, the Emperor Nj
choas IS said to have shown a disposition to be-
come friendly with the court of France. His al
lowing his son to visit Toulon was considered a
proof that ms sentiments were undergoing n
change; and lately he has placed at TIE disposal
of the King of the French several crosses of the
orders of Russia for distribution among the off,
GERS who waited on his son when in France. This
last is considered most gracious piece of con-
descenslon on the part of the Gar. If friendly
communications should be established between
Paris and st. Petersburgh, it is not improbable
that IT may lead to certain changes in politics,
winch dIplomatsts consider OF great importance.
Lecomte, the would-be. assassin OF Louis Phi
llppe. has been brought TO trial, condemned to
death, and executed. The trial was of conside-
rable length, owing to the number of witnesses
examined. Nothing, however, that has not been
known TO the public from the first has been elicit
ed Lecomte, both before, during, and after the
trial, asserted that he had no accompces, and
that he was not the tool of any political faction
The law ranging attempts on the kings life in the
crime of paracde, he was condemned to be exc
cuted as paracide-that is, to 60 barefoot to the
scaftod, wearing shirt outside his dress, to have
ms mead covered with a black veil, to remain
standing on the scaifold whilst the sentence was
read to the people, and to be then bcheaded. All
,nls was done on Monday morning at an early
hour. Lecomte showed extraordinary forttude
mounting the ocaffold with a firm step. listening
unmoved to the reading of the sentence. placing
himself unassisted in the required position. and
remaining unagta'ed for ne few moments that
