I'ARIS, SATCIWAY EVENING.
The chief subject of political conversation is the
decidedly favourable turn which the current of events
has lately taken for the Elysee. In act, not only
has every attempt to get up a committee of perma-
nance hostile to the President, and to oust the Bona-
partist members of the Assembly's board, completely
failed, but the Bonapartist candidates, Waisse and
I)utheil, in the department of the Nord and the Lot,
have been both elected, although the latter has only
saved the requisite number of votes by a very narrow

majority.
The failure of the coalition is partly traceable to
the opposition which several motions of the Moun-
tain, such as that of M. Pascal Duprat, have encoun-
tered from the ultra-legitimists. The gross result
of these successes of the government amounts to an
' admission on the part of the parliamentary majority
of the necessity of pushing revision with all possible
energy. In the meantime, the organs of the red re-
publicans and the regentists are furious at the good
understanding which prevails between the legiti-
mists and the Elysee.
In the Assembly. to dal M. Passe read, in the
name of the committee of the budget, an opinion,
furnished with motives, which rejected the conclu-
sions of M. Dufaure on the subject of the railways
