OUR PARIS LETTER.

| The Health OF the Emperor Napoleon.
The various reports which have, for the last
three months, been in circulation relative to the
Emperor's health, have kept the Europeans in a
constant state of q,,e UiUe. However, we may
nov look forward to little less anxiety on this
head, as his Majesty returned to st. Cloud a few
days ago. in excellent health, from Biarritz
having derived great benefit from his holiday in
the south of France. Their Majestiee, on Tues.
day last, drove out in an open carriage aLd
tour, with positions aud outriders, through the
principal streets OF Paris, and we're everywhere
received with marks of the greatest interest by
the persons who observed their passage. The
Emperor is a frequent visitor to the works nov
going on in The Champ de Mars. The whole of
the Exhibition building is covered in. so
that the interior works will now be taken in
hand. We cannot say much tor the beauty of
the construction; it will, no doubt be very con-
yenient tor exhibitors and visitors, but it Will
be about as elegant as any railway terminus.
The Universal Exhibition.
our attention IN Paris is now concentrated
on the approaching Worlds Fair. One of the
questions now s:-HoW, and by what means. a
hundred thousand persons are to get every day.
whether on foot or by conveyance, to the Exhi-
bition! 1t must not be lost sight of that it will
be situated at one OF the eXtremities OF Paris,
and that starting simply from the centre of the
city, che distance TO the Exhibition and back,
together with the ground to be gone over in the
building itself, will make journey of not less
than several hours to the majority of the visitors
With sucn task before hem. we are entitled to
conclude that great portion will use vehicles,
- .. A.. 4-1s ~
BarS
The number OF these vehicles arriving every
DAY at the FYnIbition is estimated at 900
The halt Of which VIII wait to take back their
laIe,. Thus, the arrival OF 20 900 carriages, aud
standing room in the neighborhood for IOO OOO
is v nat may be anticipated, and ought to be pro-
Yided TOR. The fist question is, Where are the
open approaches for such Concou-se? and the
second, Where is the space reserved for standing
room Let US consider the latter. For an
ordinary carriage drawn by one or two horses,
at least fifteen square metres of space Is re-
quisite, not only for standing room, but to be
enabled TO turn round when called Tor. Thus.
either one or a number Of stations comprising
100000 metres, will be requisite for this purpose
alone. Where is that space to be got D.? There
has not been a single square yard reserved;
such is the fact Therefore, there cannot be
any standing place for the carriages at least in
the vicinity Of the Champ de Mars.
As TO the approaches for carriages arriving at
The Exhibition, it will be found that, adding
together the width of the streets and avenues
leading to it from the Paris side, whence nine.
tenths OF the visitors will come, there will be a
total breadth of way OF l67 metres, furnished by
the Pont dc Jena, the Quai d'Orsay, and the
Quai de Belly. Is that sufficient? We NAV
judge by comparing it with the provision made
for this purpose at the Grand Opera, where we
find an outlet of 23O metres, supplied by the
Rues Lafayette, Scribe, Mogador, Des Mathu
rms, and Halevy, as well as by both the Places
de fOpere, for a concourse of persons thirty
times smaller, and for not more than 500
vehicles, Of which scarcely so remain in attend
ance.
The Correctional Tribunal of the Seine. a few
days ago, heard the case brought before the
Court by the law officers of the Gro gn. against
NM Dunernois, aged thirty; De Fonvielle,
aged thirty-eight; Alexandra de Girardin, aged
twenty-seven-all three attached to the statf OF
the Liberte-Chonerthe, aged forty-four, writer
and Librarian to the Senate; and St. Yalery, edi
tor OF lie Pays, for having been concerned in
the duel which took place on the I'd instant in
the woods OF Vincennes, between NJ. Sarcey
theatrical critic of the Opinaone Nationalo. and
NJ Dunernois, editor of the La Llbeyae. The
tribunal, after hearing Mons. Desmarets. the
advocate OF the three first accused. and NJ.
Nogent st. Laurent, for the two seconds of NJ
Sarcey, condemned NJ Dunernois TO two months,
Imprisonment, and NM. de Fonveille and Alex-
andre de Girardin each to one month; and Mr..
Sarcey's seconds were sentenced to 100 francs
fine. The first three condemned have aopealed
| against the decision.
M. Benedetti at NickoIsburr.
During the presence of the King of Prussia at
the chateau of Nickolsburg, and the delibera-
tions for the preliminaries of peace, Monsieur
Benedetti, Ambassador at the Court of Berlin
was received and entertained at Nickolsbure NV
the noble prior August Won Bartenstein. When
the diplomatic relations were terminated. and
M. Benedetti insisted on leaving to recompense
his host, the latter refused to receive anything:
and the Ambassador took leave, not without
having left to the servants souvenir of his stay.
Some weeks later, Won Bartenstein received
