PARIS, TUESDAY Evens°.
A circular of M. de Persigny's to the prefects on
the result of the elections takes the most illiberal
and narrow-minded view possible of that great
event. After thanking the prefects, sub-prefects,
mayors, and all other functionaries for their "seal"
in " enlightening " the populations, he proceeds to
observe that for the first time for ten years a coali-
tion has formed between "opinions more or less
attached to anterior governments." This is a gross
teflon of the movement. The coalition

misrepreeeni
was not on behalf of anterior governments, but on
behalf of better and more liberal government for
the future at the hands of the existing dynasty.
He shows his hatred of liberty by the as-
sertion, which involves a damaging admis-

Ilion, that in " the great centres of popu-
lation which are habitually accessible to the

influence of the press, universal suffrage has
been surprised." This means simply that the in-
telligent part of the population has voted for the
opposition. After this he falls back for consolation
upon the ignorant peasantry not yet emancipated
from the prefect's drill, declaims against parlia-
mentary orators, and winds up with an unmeaning
exhortation to the prefects to be moderate and
conciliatory now that the struggle is over. I rather
think this circular is M. de Persigny's last dying
speech and confession.
An important judgment, involving a conflict of
laws between France and England, was pronounced
last week by a Paris Court of First Instance. An
Englishman, whose name the French reporters spell
