PARIS. MOADAT Emma.
The Pays announces that the departure of the
court for Compibgne, originally fixed for Nov. 4
(but delayed, according w rumour, on amount of
the desire of their Majesties to remain near Paris
so long as the cholera lasted), is now fired for the

10th or 12th.
There is, I believe, no doubt that the cholera is
rapidly subsiding in Paris. The Epoque confirms
the assertions of the official journals that very few
fresh patients are brought into the hospitals. In
the town the cases are also much less frequent, but,
according to the Epoque, the diminution is less

marked than in the hoepitals.
A medical opinion is ventured that the cholera
w;11 completely disappear as soon as the waters of
the Seine, which have been exceptionally low all
the summer, shall attain a normal height. The
heavy rains of the last few days, and the state of
the barometer presaging more, lead to the hope
that this desideratum will not be long delayed.
The composition of the committee formed to col-
lect fuada for a statue of General Lamoriellen is
exclusively papal. They would be glad, no doubt,
to save their own purses by getting money from
people who would subscribe meaning only to pay
a tribute to the eminent African general. But if
military services rendered to France were the
real reason for the present. demonstration,
General Wean, who, died before Lamoricibre,
would have had as good a title to a statue. There
II is no shadow of doubt that it is as • soldier of the
Pope and as the general of Castelfidardo that the
I leading ultramontaniste of France, the Fallon:,
Montalemberta, Quatrsb•rbea, and Sellers seek to
glorify the memory of Lamorkihre. The party has
money enough to pay for a states, but it will not

scription.

The Daily News was, I believe, seized yesterday.
I speak thus doubtfully, because I only know that I
did not get my number, and I am not aware that
it contained any hanging matter. The loose
morality in regard to property in newspapers in-
culcated by the French system is such that all
functionaries, from the chef du bureau in the
Minister of the Interior down to the infinitesi-
mally small employe who translates foreign articles
for the censorship, thinks it no harm to hurry over
his Sunday's work, even although a subscriber
may be deprived of a paper in which nothing
worthy of seizure can be found. It con-
stantly happens that there are irregularities
in the Sunday's delivery, which are never repaired,
and for which there is no redress, because the in-
variable answer of the postmaster-general to com-
plaints is that the delivery of newspapers does not
depend upon him. It is a curious coincidence that
while the small fry of the Home-office kept back
the Daily News of Saturday, the Moniteur of to-day
contains three-quarters of a column of extracts
from its number of the day before, including a
translation of the laudatory observations which I
myself thought right to make upon the visit of the
Emperor and Empress to the cholera hospitals.
