EXPRESS FROM PARIS.  (nom cos owl 0011111IPONDEZT.) PARIB, W ZDNIIIDAT EVINDtO.  The budget was finally voted yesterday. Ae frequently happens, the members of the standing majority who made opposition speeches shrank from backing up their opinions by their votes. The minority was only 7. The Moniker does not publish the division list, but I believe !Ist the two recruits of "the five" were MM. Letnercier and  The Bourse has been better, in consequence of reports from London that Mr. Adams has given satisfactory explanations to Lord Russell. Rents rose Mx  The PAare dela itaffiche of Cherbourg says that seven ships of war, fully armed, are now in the harbour, viz. :—The Napoleon, the Impetueuse,the ironclad frigates Couronne, Normandie, and Solferino, the corvette Forfeit, and the guardship Dauphin. This assemblage of war vessels is connected by the partisans of war with a design to send a French fleet to the Swedish port of Carlskrona, which, it is observed, is only four days' sail from Cherbourg. The Opinion Nationale contends that France and Sweden alone might, at very small cost of men and money, emancipate Poland, restore Finland to Swedish domination, and render Russia harmless to Europe. Some little time ago, on the occasion of a Polish petition being presented to the Senate, the Marquis de Boisoy raised the question whether the right of petition belonged to foreigners. The point was admitted by the reverent senators to be important, and a committee was appointed to consider it. M. de Royer, a late procureur-general, was nominated reporter, and he yesterday presented his report to the Senate. He is of opinion that the constitution contains no restriction, and the verdict of the Senate will no doubt confirm his judgment. The right of petition to the Senate being in reality nothing worth, except (perhaps, in some rare instances) as an instrument of publicity supplemental to the pram, which, in its fettered state, cannot always expose grievances, it is the cue of the government journals to blow the trumpet in Zion, and proclaim to all the world that the " precious privilege" of addressing a petition to the Senate is the polar star of civilisation, and the manifest proof of the liberal character of French institutions. The Charirari has a capital squib upon M. de Persigny's childish interdiction of the use of the word " independent " as applied to opposition candidates. It describes the embarrassment of an unpatronised aspirant for legislatorial honours, who, in the bosom of his family, and assisted by troops of relations and friends, is ransacking all the dictionaries in the house in march of a lawful adjective. Various epithets are suggested, and rejected in turn as dangerous. At length a greyheaded father-in-law makes a proposal which is carried unanimously. His idea is that to the word candidate should be added simply these four letters, Lg.d. g. (sans periodic du gcnieernement). The joke consists in this, that the letters s. g. d. g. are, in pursuance of special acts of the legislature, habitually need by advertisers of certain patented articles, to warn the public that the government does not warrant the quality of the wares. A trial for murder, which will be a cause celebre, is now going on before the Assize Court of La Vendde. It appears from the indictment (borne out in its main details by confessions of the accused parties) that a lady of fortune, the wife of a retired captain in the army, named 011ive, but who was separated from him in consequence of her disorderly life, compassed and imagined his death, in order that she might have uncontrolled possession of hie property, and for several mouths together made offers of money to various persons to put him out of the way. At length, after much negotiation about the price, she agreed with a neighbour, named G-eudrean, to pay him 13,000 fr. (5201.) to shoot her husband. He did the deed and received the money. One of her lovers, a young farmer, named Ouillet,who had at first promised to do her bidding, backed out of the business on the ground that having come into some property, it was not worth his while to run the risk. He, however, is included in the indictment as having a guilty knowledge of the crime. M. Lachaud has gone special into Brittany to defend the lady prisoner.  .t  se, lies.  I regret to &annum* the death of M. Leon de Wailly, an ethinent author, and one of the best translators of English works that ever existed. His translations of Sterne and Scott are wonderful conquests of the difficulties of a foreign language.
