PARIS, August 3d. 1868.
Lord Stanley and NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys having
rented neighborng villas at Lucerne the rumor has
circulated In diplomatic circles that the latter Will
probably I'LL the post Of Ambassador of France In
London instead OF Nj. de la Tour d'Auvergne, who Is
at present absent There is the slightest ounda-
ton for the superstition. NJ. de la Tour dAuvergne,
having awaited himself OF a leave Of absence, is
taking q holiday in holiday time.
Another widely circulated piece Of news has
at length been formally contradcted 1t
would not have been credited long had
the contradiction appeared somewhat earlier.
1t was that the Emperor had in q private
letter to NJ de Persgny complained of the Queen Of
England's conduct as q breach Of etiquette on not
returning the Empress visit, who came on purpose
from Fontanebleau in order to see her at the Eng

to the Opfntone Rationale denying that he ever re-
ceiyed such a communication. This does not pre-
vent people from feeling bitter about the Queen.

the Queen would call. This is sufficient proof that
Eugene fully expected her. On her return from the
Embassy she did not dsrobe, and the court remain

and lay the matter forth with some excuse which
would have paciied some very precise parties on
points OF etiquette The only observation the Queen
made when solicited to drive few doors down the
faubourg ST. Honore, was that she was travelling as
Duchess OF Kent quite ncognitO, and that under such
circumstances visits from soveregns were never re-
turned. From the little known OF the Empress OF
