The pussant Due de Malakoff replaces N. de Per-
sigDy at the arstocratc Court of St. James When
under the auspices Of the infallibe Moniteur, the
news fell on the ear of the Bourse, the look
Of bewilderment which spectators exchanged
was a mixture Of the serio-comie. A gentleman Of
great experience On Change informs me that the in
telgence lay in the midst of the eager throng like
Kissing bomb before explosion: every one seemed
afraid to look in the face, and cast it from among
them its powers of destruction burst forth while
every one seemed equally afraid to run away or re-
main where he was. AT last some one ventured to
give it poke and then made the notable discovery
that it was only fac-simile Of what might be manu-
factured into terrible reaty-.hat for the present
it boded no harm-and securities, which a. first
began to hang their heads like lilies in the sun,
looked up again.
The BouIse, however, apart the appointment, in
the present juncture Of affairs has set every body
conjecturing There has been disposition, of late,
on the part Of the Imperial Court, TO make great
deal of the fresh created Duke of the second Empire
Both in the Crimea and since his return he
has been found to be man remarkably free from
crotchets Of his own and possessed of an unscrupu-
lousncss in carrying out the plans of others which
renders him Invaluable as an instrument. There are
times when governments like that Of France
especially want such q man; and Napoleon
on fitting occasions, knows how TO select and
adequately reward them. st. Arnaud q man
with whom, under other circumstances, he
could have had sympathy, was his instrument as
Minister of War before the memorable coup T6iat
and Pelissier, who served him so well in the Crnea
following his directions with blind fidelity which
secured all the glory to the French ana all the dis
grace to tie English, is now the chosen servant of
his appointment in the critical state of affairs with
England OF diplomacy proper Pelissier is as igno-
rant a. the sword he wears, and therefore will be
simple instrument in the hands of others OF Eng
li-h he does not know word; and his manners are
precisely what might be expected from man utter
ly unused TO any society but that of the camp with
a mind unadorned by any degree Of cultivation and
with temper susceptible but Of one argument-that
of brute force. do not mean 10 say that he il ex-
cessively brutal and coarse in his behavior: on the
contrary, he would be complaisant if he only knew
how; bat of this knowledge he has none He srnirks,
grimaces, and dances like boar at a cabaret and j.
grossly offensive, while innocenty believing himself
polite. He is little thick Sc, man, with no prcteu
sions to high intellect in his brow but his dark deep
set eye, looking doubly dark when contrssted with
his short closely cut white hair is full Of determine

Preparations are making at ST. Cloud for the ne
cepten of the Imperial Court for the summer. The
season here has been n complete failure, and never
were the complaints OF trade rife First came the
American money panic, which deprived the metro
polls Of very large class Of vsiters who spent
their money with lavish freedom, aud whose orders
were most important features Of the future. Then
came the terrible afisntdt of the lith of January
and oil its ccncomitants. The Prlssan marriage,
the early session of Parliament, and subsequently
the passport regulations, have kept the English
almost entirely absent; aud the system Of espionage
now so universal, is rendering the capital hateful 10
the better classes Of the French themselves. What
change may take place when the Emperor takes mp
his abode at 80. Cloud is impossible 90 say; but at
present the discipline under General Espina--e and
his old comrade N. Bottellier, the Minister Of
Police, is deeply sgnifcantof the danger in which
the Emperor Is still supposed to be- The town lite
