OWN C011N8POIDINT.) PARIS, FINNAN ESTNINO. ___ _  The latest semi-official news of Archduke Maximilian is contained in the following paragraph of the Pays : The Emperor and the Archduke Maximilian, with their suite, returned to the Tuileries at 5 yesterday evening, altar a capital day's shooting in the Versailles woods. Their imperial highnesses were to have accompanied their Majesties to the Opera ; but the party was given up in consequence of the death of the King of Bavaria. To•morrow (Saturday) the archduke and archduchess leave Paris for London, where, as has been already stated, the archduchess will take leave of her father, King Leopold, and the archduke will pay a visit to Queen Victoria. After a short stay in London their royal highnesses will go to Vienna to take leave of the Emperor Francis Joseph ; and thence to Mira. mar, where they will receive the deputation which is to confer on the archduke the title of Emperor of Mexico. The day of their embarkation at Trieste is not yet fixed; but it is thought that it will not ha later than the end of this month. Their royal highnesses will embark on the Austrian frigate Novara, which will take them to Civita Vecchia. They will pay a visit to the Pope, and the new Emperor will settle the clerical question in Mexico with his Holiness. After this the Novara will proceed direct from Civita Vecchia to Vera Crux. The ships destinal to form an escort of honour for the Emperor Maximilian are not yet designated. We believe ourselves able to state that the archduke is entirely in accord with the Emperor Napoleon on all points of the Mexican question, and that he his accepted the crown without any reserve.  It will be observed that the above statement conveys a contradiction of the news of the Patne, that the archduke was going out in the French frigate Thends, instead of the Austrian frigate Novara. The Moniteur says that there is not the slightest foundation for the announcement of the France that General Bazaine was coming home ; and another journal says it has been agreed with the archduke that a French army is to remain in Mexico for four years. Under these circumstances, and if it be true that he has got his loan of 2J0,000,000fr., the adventurous scion of the house of Hapsburgh may possibly throne it in Mexico, and find things run quite smoothly for a good while to come. The Pays says it has "serious reasons " for believing that the death of the King of Bavaria will not cause any change in the political situation of Germany ; and that the young King, Louis 11., will leave the conduct of affairs in the hands of his father's confidential councillors, Messrs. de Schrenk and Pfordteu.  M. Alex. Dams•, writing to the Pivsse from Civita Vecchia about the conflict at Rome between French and Papal soldiers, which the Moniteur coolly describes as of " no consequence," states that on one day (March 2) the French had 17 men wounded, and the pontificals 25 wounded and 5 killed. He says, moreover, there are now so many murders in Rome that nobody, unless pressed by urgent business, ever thinks of stirring out after 8 in the evening. The Bourse was very undecided, and Rents closed heavily at yesterday's price. Mobilier fell Mr. The money article of the Presae says :—" The situation of the Bank is not considered good by the financial world. The amount of bullion is not so large as was expected, and we hear that • large sum has been drawn out this morning. The Bank has no thought of lowering its discount."
