Parl. Gossip.

A Paris correspondent furnishes the following
interesting gossip about events as they occurred
at the end Of last month, in the French capital:
The emperor, at the earnest solicitation of his
physicians, has gone to Yichy, to recruthis health
The last few weeks, full of uneasiness, anxiety,
and perhaps disappointment have badly affected
his nervous system. In his absence the meetings
Of the ministers are sgong to be held in ST. Cloud
under the presidency of the Empress Eugenie.
The emperor will not return before the 10th Of
August to Paris, as he will attend the fete de
Fempefeur, or the l4th OF next month, IN the
Camp de Chalons.
The news that Austria had accepted the humil
ating propositions for peace and armistiee, were
received in the Tuileries early in the morning NJ
DrOuYn de II Huys FASTENED to inform the Count
Goltz, the Prussian ambassador, of the telegram
received. The count could hardly believe it.
Without waiting for his carriage, he hurried down
from his palace in the Rue de Lille, took the first
tacre he could meet, drove to tho Tnileries and
asked for an audience with the emperor.
Napoleon received him without delay, and re-
peated the information given already by the min
ister "Austria, says the emperor, "has accepted
the conditions SansTeserDe and IWish YOU count
to use all your influence with the Florentine Court
that Rcasoli does not throw any obstacle in our
Way.n
The cause why Austria though eryreluctantIy,
fastened to accept the propositions made by the
emperor is twofold. First, the copy Of a letter,
addressed by Faleineili, the Papal Nuncio at
Vienna. to Cardinal Antonelli is circulating, in
which it is stated that Francis Joseph in the hour
of need, found himself forsaken bythe two powers
on whose assistance he was calculating. France
did not unsheath her sword, though Venetia had
been coded to her, as the supposed arbiter OF
Europe; and Russia peremptorily declined the
alliance offered to her by Austria. Gortschakot,
the Russian Premier, who has an eye on Austrian
Gallcia, replied like Napoleon; "Je ne Ueu1 pas
nt'dttleT GDec lTl oaddUre-I cannot ally myself
with any corpse"
Ihe Parisans continue to be very sour and
jealous. The triumph of the Prussians is too big
for them. The army envies the glory won by the
needle-gun soldiers, and nothing would be more
acceptable to the French officers and soldiers
than to measure themselves with the Prussians
though, brave as they themselves are, they will
ingly acknowledge they are no soldiers, they
are regular deyls.'
But the emperor seems not to favor, at least for
the present, the idea Of war, The press is either
gagged or silent or begins to advocate the hegei
mony of Prussia and the reconstruction of Ger
many. Girardin, in his +" Liberte," has taken up
the gauntlet against the famous speech delivered
by Theirs in the Corps Legislatf, and analyses
the falsehood of his arguments. He shows that
France can only be benefited by powerful neigh
boring state. His arguments are those of the
whole clique that sides with Prince Napoleon and
the notorious speech he delivered at Ajaccio.
MILITARY ITEMS.

experienced officers, under the presidency Of
Marshal Random, the secretary Of war, has been

the navy, feels doubly dissatisfied first for having
spent such enormous sums on irOnelads, and
second, because the plates of the sunken italian
SHIPS being all Of French manufacture, did not
answer the expectation Of the government.
THE CONTRIBUTION IN FRANKFORT
The demand Of the Prussian generals that
Frankfort should pay contribution Of fifty mil.
lions francs, has raised storm Of indignation in
Paris.
The French bankers and fnanciers, under the
presidency Of the syndie Of the brokers, have
drawn up petition for resembling this outrageous
| order, and had represented by very influential
person to Mr.. Fould and Count GoItz. ROthschid
