EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDERT.)

PARIS, WIDiLDAT EvENIIa.

The electoral news from the departments is even
better than yesterday. I was under the mark when
I said there would be finally an opposition of 25 or
30. The Moniteur this morning grossly deceives
the public when it says that out of 268 returns
already known 252 are those of government candi-
dates. This untruth, which may be refuted from
the columns of the same number of the Mouiteetr,
will have been promulgated throughout Europe by
telegraph, but its triumph will be short-lived. In
addition to the 18 opposition members whose names
I gave yesterday there are now definitively elected
M. de Grouchy in the Loiret, the Duke de Marmier
and the Marquis d'Audelarre in the Haute Saone,
MM. Pinard and Martel in the Pas de Calais, and
M. de Chambrun in the Lozibre. Here are half a
dozen to be added to the 18, which bring the oppo-
sition deputies already elected up to the figure of
24 instead of 16, as the Monitear pretends. The
disgraceful subterfuge which the government jour-
nals have orders to resort to in order to disguise
their defeat is to call a great many of the men that
the executive power has been opposing with all its
might not opposition, but non-official candidates.
Why, the constant doctrine of the prefects has been
throughout the contest that every candidate
not nominated by the government was an
enemy. In every one of the cases last above
mentioned the prefect did his very utmost to pre-
vent the return. The Marquis d'Andelarre in
particular has been hunted about the department
like a wolf, and has a prosecution in the Cor-
rectional Police-court hanging over his head. So
much for the lifoniteer's nice distinctions.
There are no less than ten cases of ballotage, in
almost all of which the opposition candidates will
get in. One of these is in the Rhone, where M.
Jules Favre is at the bead of the poll ; and as he
will elect to sit for Paris, the other liberal candi-
date, M. Barrier, will surely be elected.
A most important piece of news is that M. Ravin
is returned for the Manche as well as for Paris. He
would beat serve the liberal cause by electing to sit
for the Manche, and making way for M. Dufaure or
M. Laboulays in Paris. I say this because the
Manche is the least certain of the two seats.
The liberal triumph in Paris is enhanced by the
large number of voters who took part in the elec-
tions. In 1857 the voters for the government can-
didates in the different sections numbered 110,534,
while those for the opposition were 07,753. In
1863 the government musters only 82,107, and
the votes for the nine opposition candi-
dates are upwards of 150,000. These figures
speak volumes as to the revival of public
opinion. In the provinces, also, it is to be observed
that the minorities against the government can-
didates who have succeeded are very much larger
than they were, and in several instances the
struggle was very severe.
The Bourse still sets at defiant* M. Ilaussmann's
prophesies of a panic. The Route Las risen 15c.
and 20c., Mobilier 30fr., and all the other securities
are very firm.
The Daily Noes is seized.
