PARIS, TUESDAY EVTNING.  The special correspondents at Compi;:gue appear to have exhausted their ingenuity the first day, fur 'cannot cull from their second letters atingle fact or remark worth noting beyond the dull routine details of the court proceedings which the telegraph will have duly transmitted. Of course everybody wants to know what political conversation, if any, passed between the King and the Emperor, and of course nobody duos know anything about it. The only hint throwu out on the subject this evening is by ('un•eapowluue, which suggests as probable that, leaving aside all questions about the Rhine as not being upon the order of the day, the Sovereigns will have spoken about Venice, and the attitude of Prussia in the event, which seems inevitable, of an Italian war against Austria to enable the Venetians to join themselves to the rest of their Italian brethren under the sceptre of Victor Emmanuel. The writer, who may possibly hays had a hint to say thus much, is careful to add that lie knows nothing whatever of the result of the interview. The private character of the visit was most scrupulously observed to the last. A Turin letter of the 6th, in the Prose, says that M. Ricasoli and M. Ratanci have had an interview, for the tint time since the death of Cavour. They passed a whole day together at the St. Maurice Camp. This meeting has given rise to rumours of • fusion, but Italians in Paris who are personal friends of Ratarai will nut allow that such a thing is possible. The Church of Our Lady of Auray, a famous holy place in Brittany, which was visited with much ado by the Emperor and Empress at a time when his Majesty (I say nothing of her Majesty) was on better terms with the church than he is at present, has just been the scene of a legitimist deinoustratiou. The occasion was the birthday of the Count de Chambord. A cry of " Vire Henry V." was uttered in the church, and when the con' gregation cone out some of them hoisted white pocket handkerchiefs upon sticks, to represent the Bourbon flag. lu the evening a young girl, the daughter of a steward of one of the vanquished heroes of Caatulfidardo, made herself conspicuous by shaking a tablecloth outside a window. The affair was too miserable a failure to threaten the public peace of the district, but it suffices to show the Emperor that St. Anne d'Auray, like every other place especially dedicated to Rome, is a rallying point for his worst enemies. The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux and some priests of his diocese have lately sent the Pope a good supply of claret for the express purpose of "consoling him in his present grief." The Anti de la Religion, in announcing this pious fact, observes that "no other clergy could have made such a present as this "—a remark which, if not profouud, may fairly be accepted as true, since claret is naturally dearer in other places than on the spot where it is grown. " Copiosum ce/ebrufissimi p•trii rini minus," says the Asti de la Reliuion, in latinity worthy to be used in pocnta. The ultramoutano society of St. Vincent de Paul has just held a provincial synod at Lusignau, in the department of the Vienne, where speeches of the most violent character were indulged in against the " revolution "—by which term it is meant to designate the imperial government in case it shall not betray Italy. There was much wild talk of "religion iu danger," the "awful days of persecution in which we live," and batthi and murder and martyrdom were the stock subjects of dechunation.  Notwithstanding the note in the Muniteur confirming the statement already made that the Emperor would nut allow bread to rise any higher, and holding out the prospect of a speedy fall, the Bourse was extremely dull. Reute closed, without change from yestunlay, at 681 r. be. and &Yr. 20c. Mo. biller fell 2fr. 50c. The Orleans and Lyons railways fell Mr. each. Northern and Eastern, 3fr. 75c. each, and Southern, 2fr. 50c. ; Western rose lfr. 25c.
