The Coatitutiossel haply held up the (mimed
writer K E.
,Quimet to public odium because he
had been nominated by Prwident Juarez an hono-
rary Member of the "patriotic Junta of Mexico,"
on account of a pamphlet on the Mexican expedi-
, tion. M. Quinet now writes to say that he re-
fused to accept the, proffered honour bowled
Mexico is at war with his country. The
Constitutional bolds that this fact Makes no dß-
ference, and that M. Quinet must still be branded
as unpatriotic, since his pamphlet is admired in
Mexico. According to this reasoning every citizen
is a traitor who argues that the government ofaiis
country has undertaken a war upon insufficient
greittuds. M. Quinet did submit that there was no
adequate reason for the French and Mexican people
entering upon deadly strife ; that the honour of
the F each army stood too high to require that it
should persevere in an ill-advised expedition ; and
that its blood should be reserved for a better cause.
That opinion may be a mistaken one, but M.
Quiaet is by no means singular in holding it ; and
moreover it is gaining ground in France every day.

It is stated that the direction of the Italian Opera
has been tioneeded to M. Bagier, who takes it upon
an entirely new footing. The theatre is to be o
all the year round, and Italian tragedies, coomed
forego, and even pantomimes, are to be pity
alternately with operas. We may therefore emt
to see is Paris all the best asters from
Naples, /totem*, Venice., and Rome.
