The Express. — 1858-06-08 (London, England)

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. •  (nos ors OWN oozzairoxport.) PARIS, Monekr limns*.  It is stated positively that the day fixed for their Majesties' leaving Fontainebleau is June 23. They will not reside in the Thileries again until the commencement of the winter season. On leaving Fontainebleau they will go to St. Cloud for a day or two preparatory to the departure of the Emperor for Plombieres, sand that of the Empress for Biarritz. M. de Persiguy, whose long absence front Fontainebleau hag been the subject of remark, is invited there this we.ek. It is asserted, but I am not quite sure of t►.gyp fact, that neither Fnad Pacha nor M. de litibaer have received invitations. In the present ticklish state of the relations of France with Turkey and Austria, such a marked exception to the compliment paid to the corps diplomatigus generally would be very significant. Immediately before the ceremony of the military degradation of Lieutenant de Mercy, which I described yesterday, he was brought before the court-martial which last tried him, to hear read the Emperor's letters patent commuting the capital sentenoe. M. Chanmeil de Stella, the officer acting as judge-advocate, thus addressed him :—" De Mercy, you owe your life to the Empress, whose noble heart takes an interest in all who surer, pray, and repent. Your sword will presently be broken, and the pieces thrown at your feet. Who knows but that at some future period you, purified by a long and painful expiation, may, obedient to the instincts of your race, one day draw another sword in some distant climate?" I cannot but think it a pity that the Empress's name should be officially cited to justify the mercy shown to a criminal deserving of no interest whatever. He was found guilty by two successive courtsmartial of having treacherously inveigled a brother officer into his quarters for the purpose of murder. ing him, and the evidence proved that he had hung up the sword with which he committed the deed, and laid foils upon the Boor to give colour to a false pretence that they had been fencing. Military degradation is universally considered in the French army as worse than death, and yet De Mercy, in the face of the professions which he made on his trial for the sake of effect, petitioned the Emperor for pardon ! The commutation is granted under circumstances showing that the Emperor entertains no more doubt of his guilt than the courts-martial did. It is bard upon the Empress to impose such a protegi upon her.  The banns of marriage are posted on the Mairie of the First Arrondissement between M. Adolphe Ernest Fould, the eldest son of the Minister of State, and Mdlle. Marthe Ledoux, the daughter of M. Ledonx, a partner in the house of Rattier and Ouibal, csoutchouc merchants of the Rue Fosses Montmartre and the Rue Vivienne. M. de Pene is much better than his friends ever lexpeeted to see him. Within the last two or time days he has been able to take solid food, and his wound' are healing favourably. It is hoped that he will be convalescent next week. The expectation once entertained that he might have been removed to Paris last Saturday was not realised, but it is not doubted that he may safely undertake the journey in a few days. One of the largest shops in Paris, the Grand Conde, in the Rue de Seine, wee completely destroyed by fire last night. The bookkeeper was seriously injured in endeavouring to save the books; one man had his thigh broken, and a dozen others were more or less injured. The loss is immense. The fire is attributed to an explosion of gas. The depression at the Bourse continues. The Rents was finally quoted to-day, ex dividend, at 67fr. 60c. for cash and 67fr. 60c. for account, being a fall of 36e. and 2k. Mobilier fell 17fr. 60c. The Orleans Railway, notwithstanding considerable purchases to realise profits in former " bearing " operations, fell 22fr. 60c. Northern fell 10fr.; and the other lines from 2fr. 600. to Mr.  Despatches from Ragusa, of June 5, state that, after a conference at Trebigne, which was attended by the consuls of the Great Powers, a convention was concluded between the Turks and the Montenegrins for the suspension of all hostilities, until a definitive arrangement shall be made. Bravo Murillo has arrived in Paris, on what errand I am unable to say.
