PARIS, TUESDAY MIMI.
Almost all the leaders of the bar, including M.
Desmarest, the letstonnier, M. Dufaure (now that
Dupin is dead, certainly the greatest lawyer in
France), M. E. Arago, and M. Albert Gigot, an
advocate of the Court of Cessation, have signed an
opinion that M. Floury, the government candidate
in the Yonne, is legally ineligible, because he holds
the paid office of governor of the Credit Foocier,
to which he is appointed by government. It is,
however, upon record that the Corps Legislatif
has already overruled a similar objection, and as
the majority are swayed by other than legal con-
siderations, there is little doubt, even if the whole
bar protested, that M. Flenry's election, which will
probably take place next Sunday, will in due time
be confirmed.
All the Belgian papers containing reports of the
Students' Congress at Libge were seized. The
French government has, however, upon reflection,
tome to the conclusion that the publication of the
subvenive doctrines against order, religion, and pro-
perty, which were uttered by the hot-blooded young
men there assembled, might have a wholesome opera-
tion by way of " frightful example," just like the
exhibition of a slave drunk to a young Spartan heir.
Accordingly Banifaoe has been directed to pick
out the very worst parts of the newspapers which
a few days ago it was thought dangerous to let the
public judge of for themselves, and to give them
all, as Lord Byron says of the appendices to cer-
tain immoral Latin poste, "at one fell swoop."
Boothia° prefaces his extracts by some edify-
ing moral reflections, which will find fe*
contradictors among men past the age
of puberty. The worst doctrines of 1789 were
preached (not, however, without tumultuous pro-
tests) by some of the smooth-faced speakers at this
congress, who started from the point that they had
a certain Ideal of right, and that the world must be
made to come into it by force and, if necessary, by
the guillsOlie. The prigliiple of force against the
principle oL authority wise openly advocated by
them—although for any practical purpose the dis-
tinction is impalpable. The Gaunt de France,
commenting upon M. Boniface's official lecture, i
says, with great dpeopos, that, considering the age I
of the French speakers at Libge, it is impossible
to attribute the sad twist in their intellects to the
bad teaching of a free press, because ever sig they
were in their cradles the press in France has hpt
been free. That is a very pertinent observation,
and it cuts at the root of the moral M. Boniface
would draw from the fact of certain young men
having made great fools of themselves at Libge.
Old soldiers like Victor lingo and Jules Simon
knew what they ROM about when they excused
themselves from presiding over an assemblage
of raw youths who would have been better
employed in the forms of their schools than in
presuming to instruct mankind at the Libge
Congress. But the sad exhibition they made of
themselves affords no ground whatever for the
inference which the Constitutionnet would draw
that bearded men should have only just such a
measure of liberty as a heaven-born ruler may
think fit to grant them.
The Daily News is seized to-day. I can conjec-
ture no other reason for the confiscation than that
the gentlemen of the bureau of censorship thought
it would be disagreeable to government to let the
public see that M. Prevost Paradol's criticism of
the Algerian pamphlet had attracted the attention
of an English writer.
The Muniteut, in announcing the death of M.
Dupin, paid a tribute, which au ordinary reader
would not remark, to the relative independence
which, in spite of much hostile criticism, he con-
ceived himself to preserve while accepting office
under the empire. When a devoted servant of the
dynasty worthy of a place in what M. Chaix
d'Est Ange calls the "category of supporters of the
first degree" dies, it is usual to say in the Moniteur,
"France and the Emperor have just sustained a
severe loss," /sc. On this occasion the official
journal only said, " France has sustained a severe
loos," stc.
The Bourse was extremely heavy. The good
news of the reduction of the army is said to have
been " discounted," and now uneasiness was felt
about the health of the King of the Belgians,
whose death has long been considered in Paris as
the probable point de depart of considerable events.

run over by a cab at the bottom of Holborn-bill. Six
