There are rumours to-night that the Emperor has secured a slice—although but a small one—of the Rhine frontier in the neighbourhood of liarrelouis. There is no reliable news of the prosputa of the conference. The evening papers are devoid of interest. The France mentions at the head of its " News of the day," that rumours of ministerial changes continue to be circulated ; it adds ironically that, of course, after the denial of the Moniteur no importance can be attached to " rumours which people will persist in spreading." After much delay Meyerbeer's will has been opened at Berlin. All that has yet transpired of its contents is that the rumour of his having prohibited the performance of his great unpublished work L'Africaine was unfounded. The will desiree that it shall be played, but subject to certain lconditions which may perhaps create difficulties. The international shooting match at Vinoennes began this morning, and is said to be fairly attended by foreign as well as French marksmen. Complaints are made that the fees charged are unreasonably high. The Bourse is inanimate. Bente remains within a shade of Saturday's quotations. Mobilier fell 3fr. Mc. The Mexican Loan was officially quoted for the first time, but for cash transactions only. The price was from 60 to 60}, being about 3 per cent. dis.

The Masonic body of Paris was informed at its last meeting that the Emperor restored to it the traditional right of electing its Grand Master. This announcement was received with enthusiastic applause, and Marshal Magnan, who held his nomination by imperial decree, was unanimously re-elected by the delegates of all the lodges present.

PARIS. oseu °us ovollibsrosparr.)  PARA !mar Evwlo.  11/ The Moniteur du Soir gives notice, in its "ofivial part," that the government having, in exercise of the right which it possesses by virtue of the organic article' of the Conocedat (law of 18th Genitalia, year 10, Art. 1), refused to authorise the publication in France of a brief lamed at Rome on the 17th of March last, for the introduction of the Roman liturgy into the diocese of Lyme, any publicity given to that brief will be a violation of • law which it is the duty and the determination of the government to enforce. The above paragraph relates to the precise subject brought forward by IL Jules Fevre yesterday,l for the purpose of showing the utter failure of the, long suffering attempts made by the French government to conciliate the court of Rome. The very delay which has occurred before taking public and official notice of the encroachment of Rome, and the countenance which that encroachment receives from a portion of the French clergy, shows that efforts to effect an amicable settlement have been unavailing, and gives additional importance to this declaration of open war. The official journal states that Baron de Beast, the plenipotentiary of the Germanic Confederation, now in London, will take advantage of the Iffiiitsun holidays, during which the sittings of the Con'feranos will be suspended, to come to Paris for a fiw days.  An Austrian naval division of four ships, consiting of a paddle corvette, bearing a rear-, admiral's bg, a ship of the line, an iron-clad frigate, and a gunboat, anchored in Cherbourg Roads this morning. The Assize Court was, if possible, more crowded 1 than ever this morning to bear the evidence of the famous Dr. Tarclies, who for many years has been constantly employed by the parquet to make pod modem examinations in murder awes. At  the :sitting of the court the presiding judge stated a fact not hitherto known, that the prisoner has several times attempted to commit suicide in prison : once he took verdigris, at another time he opened a vein, and he also wounded himself in the nose so as to produce violent hemorrhage. The prisoner said he was driven to these see by despair, but he vehemently protested his innocence. The Bourse was a good deal better. The Bank of Frame returns are thought more favourable than might have been expected. Bente rose lbe. for cash and 20e. for account, closing at 66fr. 65c. and 66fr. 80c. Mobider roes 18fr. 7k.  The Montgolfier balloon, the Aigle, made a first successful ascent yesterday evening from an enclosure near the Place de l'Europe. The material burnt for the purposes of rarefaction was rye straw. On passing over the Rue Scribe the balloon was only about 50 metres above the roofs of the houses. It, however, rapidly attained a great height, and was soon lost out of sight in a southerly direction.
