EMPRESS FROM PARIS.  (PROS 001 owl  PARIS, MONDAT Evznao.  All the evening papers call attention, in two conspicuous lines, to the fact that a senates constatum is on the Senate's order of the day for to-morrow. What can this be about ? It is most extraordinary that, in the absence of the Emperor, it should be suddenly necessary to make some alteration in the constitution, and while nobody has been thinking about it. The rumour runs that it is intended to degrade Prince Napoleon. This is very posBibb., but it would be a most impolitic measure, if only for the reason that it could scarcely pass without serious opposition. All the senators cannot be so servile and degraded as to refuse to give • voice to opinions very strongly felt in the country, and to sanction the doctrine that in France in 1865 only " one will" is to be omnipotent. Prince Napoleon's edition of his Ajaccio speech, in the form of a pamphlet, was seized at Bantu's, but only, I am told, for want of a stamp which I suppose he thought himself privileged to dispense with. He will now publish a stamped edition. He is also, it is said, about to bring out the first volume of a history of the Bonaparte  family. It is remarked that he has not yet resigned his seat in the commission charged to superintend the correspondence of the Bonaparte family. M. de Montalembert has just published an article in the Corresnondant, beaded "The Victory of the North in the United States," which the Avenir National describes as " an act of contrition, and an open disavowal of the fatal doctrines which formerly led him to call for an 'expedition to Rome' in the interior." The military virtues displayed by the Americans during theirtremendous struggle of four years' duration, seem to M. de Montalembert nothing in comparison to their civil virtues. The citizens of the United States did not have recourse to suicide to get away from fear and suspense. They were not the people to imitate those despairing sick who prefer immediate death to prolonged suffering. He thinks their conduct in time of trial a grand lesson for those European nations which, though as heroic as need be on the battlefield, are " intimidated and demoralized by every civil danger." The Americans have given to the world the " glorious and consoling example of a people who saves itself without a Cesar." The Aeenir sees in this homage from an old apostle of intolerance a striking instance of the power of liberal principles. Marshal Magnan is dead, after a short illness, at the age of 74. He was till quite lately remarkably strong and ; nobody would have supposed him to be so old. He has held the commandin-chief of the army of Paris ever since the coup d'etat of 1851, in which he took so large a part. The Bourse was affected by the news published in the indEpendance Beige, but suppressed in France, of the Belgian legion being badly cut up by Juarez' forces.

A touching incident is related in conrexion with the unveiling of the colossal statue of Dante at Florence. The sculptor, Nut, • native of the city in which Dante died, had his aged father livieg la Ravenna. Jost four days before that fixed for the festival, sews came that the old man was sick unto death.

There was still math to be done which be alone could properly direct; the pedestal sod its ornaments were incomplete, and bad to be temporarily flashed so as to pus master at the ceremony ; the committee for the emotion of the moooment declared it impossible to spare the artist, and pat a resolute veto on his departure. Natural affection had to yield to the votes of public duty.
