PARIS, May 9, 1866.
AN ANXIOUS WORE.
The first week of May, 1866 will long remain
craven in the memory Of the political men and
stock jobbers Ct the day In the first place, after
series Of ultimatums more or less alarming, we
now have a dead calm in Europe. The press is
also silent. The eyes of France are anxiously
turned toward the Tuileres, as everything seems
to depend upon the mysterious being at the mead
Of the State. 1t is some comfort to know, from
what Mons. Rouher, the minister, informed the
legislative body, that the policy of France would
no doubt be entirely pacific, observing strict
neutrality, and reserying its freedom Of action.
If Italy were to attack Austria it must take the
consequences, as it could in no way be counte-
naneed by the Emperor in so doing.
The speech of the Minister Of State is, it must
be said, very vague, and the dreadful state Of our
Bourse where public securities of every kind are
falling to almost nothing, shows that the public in
general are far from being free from anxiety.
MONS. THIEBs's SPEECH.
The ex.mnister of Louis Philippe, who is al
ways at his post when an opportunity presents
itself TO attack the present dynasty, took up the
attention of the legislative body for some hours in
abusing Prussia and Austria for their conduct in
the Schleswig Holsten war. Italy also come in for
its share of abuse. It is well known that the author
of the French revolution is an enemy Of lunja
Raliana and every thing that wishes to take an
onward movement. He expressed hope that the
present government would not leave a stone I'M
turned in order to prevent conflict between the
powers now at loggerheads.
SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR AT AUXERRE.
The speech of the Emperor in answer to the
address from the mayor of Auxerre leaves us, we
fear, little hope that peace can be maintained.
After thanking the populations that came to pay
homage of their loyalty to his house, he told them
that being amongst them, he felt as if he could
breathe again, "a nice compliment for the good
citizens of Pars,) and he wound up by saying that
he detested the treaties of 1875. In this latter
phrase is slap at Mons. Thiers who looks upon
the maintenance of the said treaties as indispensa
BILE for the welfare of Europe The demonstration
of the corps legislatif in favor of peace, have
also been anything but pleasant to the Emperor
who, there can be but little doubt, is not of the
same way Of thinking as the deputies Of the
chamber.
PANIC AT THE B0URsE.
The consequence of the Emperor's speech at
Auxerre has been further decline of all funds at
the Paris bourse stock exchanged in fact so great
has been the fall that, every kind Of securities
fail to find buyers-a dreadful crash is feared, and
tits said that many of our stock brokers have been
obliged to have recourse to the oaisse syndicate,
being unable to meet their engagements.
THE GENERAL OPINION
Is that war is imminent. We hear Interpretations
on vast scale are taking place in Austria and in
Prussia Saxony is about taking part in the strug-
gle on the side of the Hapsburg's; Wurtenburg
and other states are also preparing for the fight
what are they waiting for-the decision of the
band? assuredly not for Prussia has formally de-
cared that it will not be bound by its decisions
We shall perhaps in few days hear that the first
blow has been struck-G quelqate chose NAL hear
est bon 1t is indeed true that one reason is given
for retarding hostiiities, and we should be very
surprised if we as it is reported, are obliged tC
attribute it to the
PACIFIC INFLUENCE OF THE TRICHINA sPIRALIs
It seems almost too ridiculous, but we will give
| you what we hear, which is the following: 1t ap
/ pears that the immense provisions of pork which
have been made for the Austrian and Prussiar
armies have been found to contain trichina, which
makes this meat unfit for human consumption. I
| joke, it is very depgdce kilograms from Italy
state that there is great enthusiasm for war il
Italy. The cry is Venezia 0 Ia n1orte. Thousands
and thousands are enlisting, and government ha
! granted all the supplies necessary for striking
blow at the hated German. Whenever the Regal
aatuouto or the heroic Garibaldi appear, they art
| hailed with shouts of delight on the part of thu
! population and soldiery, However, of what us
is all this without the permission of its ally
France, to attack? " CHI 10 sa, say the Italians
Should Prussia and Austria end in fighting it out
we shall not be long before we land in Damaha
ARMAMENTs IN SWITZERLAND AND BELGIUM.
The armament fever has also attacked both TIL
brave y Belgians and the Helvetans. The latte
have called out 1000 men to cause its frontiers f
be respected, and Belgium is getting $4,000 mel
ready for any eventuality.
EUROPEAN CONGRESS-.
The everlasting talked of Congress which is t
settle all matters in dispute, has again beef
brought on the tapis But it is too late. We shall
have bloodshed first and little quiet talking after
wards. Every hope now seems to have vanished

ATTEMPT TO AssAssTNATE COUNT BIsMARK.
A fanatic named Bind, the son of a Prussal
refugee, precipitated himself on the Prussian pre-
mier the day before yesterday, when he was leay
ing the Kings ministorum, and fired four shots a
him with revolver. His exeellency, who wa
but slightly wounded, most fortunately kept hi

has put an end to his days by cutting his throa

j ALL PoLTTGes-No PLEASURE,
J You can well suppose that all Paris is so takeI
up with reading the papers and looking for tele
grams that ii has very little time for the pleasure
of the day. Moreover, so much money has bee
lost at the Bourse that many are out of pocket an
cannot find the needful for theaters, balls, con
certs and the like. The open air concerts of til
Champs Elys6es, which at this time of tho yea
generally attract such crowds, are for the presen
almost deserted, rs two-thirds of our male popr
laton spend their evenings in the cafes in order
get the last news.
