The Madrid journals are in a
able excitement, the cause for which is not easy
to discover. After having denounced the pre-
tended plot against the life of the Duke of Vittoria
they are now predicting risings, insurrections, and
perhaps, even a revolution. They mention pro-
bable assemblages in the provinces, and military
precautions at Madrid :

PARIS. KOINDAY &TIMM

Although Cardinal Antonelli is understood to
have said that Mgr. Chigi was personally responsi-
ble for the letters to the Bishops of Orleans and
Poitiers complained of by the French government,
and although the Memorial Dip/omatigne asserts
that the nuncio wrote them not only without spe-
cial authorisation, but in defiance of the tenor of
his general instructions, a correspondent of the
Indlpendance Beige states deliberately and positively
that Mgr. Chigi wrote the letters in puritan°s of
direct orders from Rome. It is possible that Car-
dinal Antonelli may not have sent the orders in ques-
tion, but his repudiation of them is no proof that
they did not emanate from his betters. I believe that
Mgr. Chigi allows himself to be made a scapegoat
in order to help the Pontifical government out of
a scrape. It is material to remember that he
succeeded in preventing the Montour from re-
cording any other apology than that he regretted
the " publication." M. Dronyn de Lhuys had
placed it upon record three days before that the
offence to the French government consisted in
" writing " the letters ; for that Mgr. Chigi has
made no apology, and so far he saves his own
dignity.
So many inquiries were made each day ►t the
hotel of the Duke de Morny, that it was thought
advisable to issue a bulletin. That of yesterday
morning, signed by his excellences medical atten-
dant, Sir Joseph 011iffe, states that the improve-
ment which had set in is continuing.

Later news given by this evening's Patrie is of a
less reassuring description. It says that " without
as yet presenting serious symptoms, M. de Morny's
state of health does not improve." The Presideut
of the Corps Ltigislatif is said to be suffering from
" extreme nervousness, want of appetite, and
sleeplessness."
The debate on the address can scarcely be ex-
pected to begin before the Bth or 10th of March.
The committee of the Academy of Moral and
Political Selenium appointed to recommend a cor-
responding member in place of the late Mr.
M'Culloch, returned the names of three eminent
Englishmen in the following order :-1. Mr. Glad-
stone ; 2. Mr. John Stuart Mill ; 3. Dr. Whewell.
A new daily journal, to be called the Epoque (an
unlucky name, for two predecessors so called
speedily went to the dogs), has been authorised,
and will, I understand, appear before the end of
the month. The editor is M. E. Feydeau, the suc-
cessful novelist (the author of "Fanny"), and the
intention of the patrons of the enterprise is to
establish a semi-liberal organ which shall stand in
some such relation to the Corps Legislatif as M. de
Gueronnikre's journal, La France, does to the
Senate.
Winter is singularly loth to leave us. February,
whose chums to be a winter month I have often

seen contested by soft breezes, bright suns, green
buds, and precocious violets, this year asserts its
official place in the almanac. On this Feb. 20,
when the Tuileries chestnut tree of the Vingt Mars
is sometimes sprouting a month before the tradi-
tional early time, more snow has fallen than on
almost any day in the year. It froze hard last
night ; the snow thawed in the daytime, but more
fell at 4 o'clock, and it is now freezing again.
A statistical table just published shows that the
improvements in Paris have exercised a very bene-
ficial influence upon the public health. In 1836
the deaths were 1 in 36 ; in 1866 they were only
1 in 40—an immense change.

The Bourse was dull, and Rent* has fallen 10c.
both for cash and account, closing at 87fr. 40c. in
each case. Mobilier fell 7fr. 50c. Mexican is a
little better, the rumours of renewed negotiations.
for peace in America, which excited attention on
Saturday, being contradicted.
