FRANCE.

THE PARIS ELECTIONS.
(nom on ow comaromozerr.)
11%195, 13ArcaDAT Evimora.

You will have remarked that 1 have never
shared the doubts expressed by many Paris
journals, and probably echoed in some English
letters, as to the result of the coming elections. My
opinion from the first has never varied, that MM.
Carnet and Gamier Pages will be returned, and that
on the first ballot. Writing now on the eve of
the election, I have more coutideuce than ever in
maintaining this prophecy. As to Carnet's election,
I do not find that anybody now entertains a doubt.
M. Gamier Pages' chances are enhanced by various
new incidents. 31. F. Morin, who polled a large
minority in Lyons last year, retires on the ground
that it is useless for new men to struggle when uo
electoral meetings can be held. This is the very
reason I gave you two or three days ago why the
electors of Paris will blindly, so to speak, cling to
old names which are significant, although the per-
sons who bear them might very probably not be
thought the most worthy if it were possible that the
pretensions of all candidates could be fully and fairly
considered. The Temps, which has hitherto main-
tained an undecided attitude, declares to-night that
although M. Gamier Pages is not the candidate of
its predilection, be is now the only one " possible
in the fifth circumscription. The Courrier du
Dimanche announced last week that it would sup-
port MM. Laboulaye and F. Morin. Now that
the latter has retired, this journal publishes as its
candidate M. Laboulaye only, and leaves a blank
for the fifth circumscription. But in an article by
M. Prevost Paradol, that able writer, premising
that the Omni. r do Lima the allows its staff free-
dom of individual opinion, pronounces for Carnet
and Gamier Pages.
M. Gamier Pages writes to the papers that in
consequence of the "exceptional measures" taken
against him, the violation of his domicile and the
" rigorous pretensions" of authority, he has no
choice but to beg his friends not to come to his
house ou Monday evening to bring him the results
of the poll.
The Correctional Tribunal of Paris has just pro-
nottuoed a judgment which gives au extended con-
struction to the coup d'iltat laws against the press
which has never hitherto been apprehended.
MM. de Cherou and Clairboia, editors of a litho-
graphed correspondence furnished to provincial
editors in sealed envelopes, are pronounced guilty of
an infringement of the law against " publishing "
political writicgs without the authorization of
government. They are each eentenced to a month'sl
imprisonment. These lithographed correspon-1
deuces have gone on unmolested ever since 1852,
the reason probably being that as they were gene-
rally favourable to government, it was not thought
expedient to strain the law against them. To this
day the famous "black man" from the Home-office
continually carries news to Haves and Bulbar, whose
sheets are just as unlawful &ethos@ now condemned.
The Temps pertinently observes that the judgment
goes to no less than the condemnation as a ininle-
meanaut of any man who writes for more than one
journal.
The Bourse continues heavy. Want of confidence
in the news of a Conference prevented any recovery
from yesterday's fall. The Bente sustained the fur-
ther decline of &c. for cash, and 10c. for account,
closing at filif. and WU sc. Mobilier, llf. 25c.
The committee formed for getting up •
Shakespeare banquet in Paris ou April 23 held its
first meeting today. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold is
the chairman, and Mr. Wallace (the composer) and
Captain Lynch, R.N., are among the members.
I am informed that Lord Cowley has promised to
attend the banquet, and that Lord Brougham has
been invited to preside.
