EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR ORS CORREIPONDERT.)
PARIS, FRU:UT Et ENING.

The Moniker du. Suir records with evident
satisfaction at the head of its leading column that
(contrary to the first reports) the government
candidate, M. Duguet, has been elected a deputy
for the department of the Marne. his " abso-
lute majority," i. c. Lis majority above all the
votes polled for divers opposition candidates, is
under 15, and that out of a constituency of
upwards of 30,000. There was never before such an
approximation to a defeat iu this department.
The example of Paris is gridually permeating
the provinces. With such evidences of swelliig
public opinion it is not wonderful that the Emperor
should mistrust the conservative and clerical friends
who would fain lead him, and think of emancipat-
ing himself from their costly tutelage by tempting
the liberal party to accept Lim as their head.
The Monikter, though professing in its non-
official columns to give the best "news " from all
parts of the world, so far ignored contemporary
history as to take no notice whatever of the great
banquet given to M. Bsrryer in the Middle Temple
Hall. The Mendel/es satellites, the
and Pass, never gave any honest " report " of the
event, but cannot help alluding to it by carping
criticisms. To-day the ColistileGoend publishes
the following letter, alleged to be written from
Loudon, but which was probably no more composed
there than the clever war letters written by the
dramatist, Aylie Laugh:, for the Motitcur were
composel in Mexico :
I am able to communicate to you some interesting details
on the subject of 51. Eterryer's visit to England, which has
been represented in several continental journals so incor-
rectly, and with so imperfect a knowledge of the En6lish
character. You are probably aware that the bar of Lon-
don, in addressing a cordial invitation to that eminent
barrister, intended to give to the whole French bar a mark
of esteem sad a proof of fraternal sympathy. IL Berryer
did not apparently understand it so- He teemed to have
imagined that it was to the politician as much as to the
• • advocate that the act of courtesy of which the English bar
hail taken the initiative was addressed. Consequently,
some astonishment was excited when it was found
;that the simple and natural idea cf proposing a toast
!to the Emperor of the French could be the object
of any objection on the part of the guest. Such was, how-
ever, the case. The question of a toast to the sovereign of
France had to be discussed. I am informed by a very
distinguished member of the bar of London, also a
member of the House of Commons, that some of
Berryer's friends brought forward has peculiar
tical position, and argued that the persons assembled to do
honour to him ought not to impose a tout so painful to
him, politically speaking. A discussion took place in the
banquet committee, but, as might have been expected, the
question was resolved almost unanimously in favour of the
toast. The vexation of 31. Berryer at this decision is said
to have been great, arid his speech suffered in consequence.
I can even assure you that certain phrases of the speech
produeed—especiaEy in the reading—a painful impression.
English pstriotism does not understand that party rancour,
which ought to pus the frontier, should be carried
abroad.

Without any special knowledge of the facts, I
think it may be safely affirmed that M. Berryer
never for a moment supposed that the object of the
bar of England in inviting him to a fraternal
dinner was to make a political demonstration
against the present government of France.
The France, which ought to be rewarded for its
devotedness by correct news from Rome, affirms
that as soon as the debate in the Italian parka.
meat is over Cardinal Antonelli will address a
despatch to the Nuncio in Paris, expressing the
views of the Holy See in regard to the convention.
