AETTEB FROM PARIS.
Special Correspondence Of the Crescent.l
PARIS, Oct. u, 1866.
TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS.
tsHow goes the emperor?a ''0h, very well. The
emperor takes long walks at Biarritz, and comes
home to breakfast with more excellent ap-
petite.n "0h, then all right, and shall go and
tell my broker to buy me some French stock.n
Chow is Napoleon TII?" "0h, bad, very bad,
Great debility; constant pains, and endless
nausea can't live very sorry; decay Of nature, you
know; used up" aThen you would advise me to
sell out my French stock 2" by all means. The
first evil lis the least Better lose part than lose
the whole; for when the emperor dies there will
be pretty kettle Of fish,
This is the kind Of conversation we now hear in
the most civilized capital Of Christendom.
Notwithstanding the silence of the Moniteur on
the subject of the emperor's health, Napoleon III
may be said to be in a precarious state of health,
and two medical men ofcelebrity, Dr.. Nelaton
and DR.. Roger, have been called to Biarritz. His
majesty has also called in the well known Or.
Thompson. These visits Of medical men Of such
note, have, Of course, given rise to most alarming
versions. SO that we may be said to live with the
sword Of danger over our heads.
The great event has been the news brought us
from Rome, and which has taken everybody by
surprise. The Empress Carlotta of Mexico, who
had gone to Rome to try and persuade the pope
to sanction all her husband had done in Mexico
with respect to ecclesiastical matters, has gone
out Of her mind. 1t is generally supposed that
the anxiety and disappointment that her majesty
has undergone of late have had the effect Of de-
ranging her mental faculties Latest intelligence
from the Eternal City states that the Count de
Flandres, second son OF King Leopold of Bel
GUM on receiving the sad intelligence of his sisters
arrangement Immediately started for Rome. and
will conduct hissister to CASTILLO Miramar Latest
intelligence from Rome state that an amelioration
had taken place in the health of the empress of
Mexico The medical men had pronounced her
majesty in position to leave with her brother for
Miramar.
The Cretan rebellion has not yet been crushed,
and advfces from Constantinople state that in CON
sequence Of the complaints made by the Turkish
government to the cabinet Of Athens, all the pub
lie papers of Greece were now subjected to se-
we're censorship. Fresh reinforcements had been
sent by the sultan against the Canadians. @
Advices from Berlin inform us that Count Bis
marck is at present in the Island of Ruyen, in the
Baltic, seeking repose and health after months of
great fatigue and anxiety. 1t sstated that his ex
cellency, though improved in health, will be
obliged to abstain from public business for some
time to come.
tt is whispered in political circles that there is
every pTOpHDllCy Oh D Close alliance between
Prussia and the great Moscovite empire. The
news from Germany seems to confirm such an ar
rangement, and the tone of the Prussian journals
sufficiently indicates it, since if the organs Of the
Prussian government do not precisely express the
public opinions of the country they reflect the
tendencies of the government, which very freely
suggest to them what language they should em-
ploY. Besides, such an alliance is in the nature of
things and has been for some time generally ex-
peGted by politicians as Prussia, in order to ter

has need of allies and has not met with any power
more readily disposed to respond to her advances
than Russia. From Austria, Prussia can expect
neither aid nor sympathy. Austria the enemy of
the Hohenzollern yesterday, will be their enemy
tomorrow, The government Of Berlin cannot
think of looking for support to the power against
which2 it continues to develop its policy. 1t is
the center OF the kingdom of southern Germany,
and perhaps the annexation Of the German pro-
vinees of the Austrian empire, will be the me-
eessary complement OF that unity of Ger
many which it has had the ability to introduce
intoits policy; and we should not besurprised one
day to hear that Bohemia is Yenetia, and that
Prague belongs to it by the same title that Venice
does to Italy.
The protest Of the king Of Hanover against the
anne xation of his kingdom has been succeeded by
q manifesto from the liberal majority of what but
lately was his own second chamber, in which that
annexation is unequivocdlly approved.

Early in the morning all the troops of the garrison
were on foot preceded by their flag and music
at half past eleven the Prussian flag was hoiste(
on the Romer. The proceedings passed off witt
the greatest calm, both on the part of the people
present and the soldiers who had no doubtreceiVel
orders not to provoke any manifestations.

repair to England,

There have been great reioicings at Florence
This is easily understood when it is remembered
that the war between Austria and Italy may be
,said TO have begun in 1869, and that regime o
this kind has been the means of draining the re
sources of the country. T Ma

Letters from Egyptsay that the inundationof the

injurious to the country. There was great anxiety
for the crops, which were very fine all over lower
Egypt, aud which it was feared would be lost.
Every precaution was being taken hut the situa-
tionof affairs seriously affected trade. The revolt
in Gambia will hsve imposed heavy charges on
the Egyptian treasury. The Yieeroy is said to
nave furnished 10000 men, four Of his principal
generals inclnding the minister Of War-money,
coal ammunition and provisions.
