OWN COIMESPONDIST.) PARIS, FRIDAY ETkNINO.  No scrap of intelligence has come from Biarritz to indicate what are the Emperor's real intentions in regard to Italy. The yorma's are altogether at fault. It is hoped and believed that when the Emperor returns to Paris the Monaco,' will speck distinctly. But his Majesty's return is continually being postponed. It Is now said that he w :II not leave Biarritz till the 12th or 14th of October, and that he will stay two days at Bordeaux. The officers of the five French divisions now in Italy have received orders to send to their depot" in France for their winter outfit. This news will suffice to reassure those who fancied that the French army was about to retire from Italy rid leave Austria to have her own way. I, for one, never entertained any such apprehension. My fears 'hint the ultimate independence of Italy have always been based upon other grounds. The Pope's Nuncio, Monsigneur Saoooni, is about to leave Paris for Rome, and it iv reported that he will be superseded. It is now stated that M. Mon, the Spanish Ambassador, has not gone specially to Biarritz, bat has merely had an audience of the Emperor there, on his way to Madrid.  A Constantinople letter, received by the last mail, relates the almost incredible circumstance of the old barbarous law of Turkey which prescribes the assassination of all children wbich any princess of the imperial family may bear to a subject, having been acted upon with;n the last few days. Last Sunday week one of the Sultan's daughters, the wife of Mahmoud Pauli', was safely delivered of a MN boy. The Sultan had been to see her bat a few hours before her confinement, and it i. said that he gave express orders that the child should not be murdered. Nevertheless, " damned custom" prevailed ; the officers of the seraglio who attended the princess delivered over the babe to a eunuch to be strangled—and it was strangled accordingly! Can such things be and not excite the effectual indignation of all mankind ? Turkey has ambassadors at every court in Europe—men who are received into refined and elegant society on an equal footing with the elite of the world—men who, for the most part, have received • European education, and who, to judge from their ordinary conversation, would be thought as civilised, as humane, and as moral men as any other members of the corps diplomatique. What can they say to justify a deed in comparison with which the sacrifice of the Indian widow on her husband's funereal pile is laudable and holy ? Surely they will be asked the question.  It is rumoured that the Ottoman government has suspended the publication of all the Constantinople journals, pending the inquiry into the greet con- 11 spiracy. I have seen a letter from Florence, written by a well-known personage, in which it is stated that the Plon-plonist party is quite in despair. Signor Montanelli,the dictator of Tuscany of 1648, who was one of the most respected members of the Italian emigration in Paris, hie totally lost cute with his political friends by the fatal error of judgment which led him to espouse the cause of Prince Napoleon. It appears that he and a few other distinguished Italians, whose patriotism it would be painful for me to doubt, were so thoroughly persuaded of the Emperor's determination to put hie cousin upon the throne of Central Italy, that they thought the best course they could take to further the great object of getting rid of Austria was to rally to a movement which they fancied would be supported by irresistible power. The mistake has cost them their influence and reputation. M. Montanelli, but yesterday one of the most popular men in Tuscany, has been compelled to withdraw from the Cale Itotteghino, which he frequented, because everybody there cuts him in the most marked manner.  It le said that when Prince Napoleon arrives at the Psleis Royal from his Swiss tour, be will find awaiting his perusal several cartloads of petitions praying for places in the kingdom of Etruria, which it was supposed would be created for him. The operations for the settlement at the Bourse went off very well. The Rents closed rather firm at 691 r. 30c., and 69fr. 25c., with a rims of 15c, both for cash and account. Mobilior rase 21r. Mk.
