' PARIS; NONBAT
lAtxbet-Itadar had an audience of the Froperor at
'The Tuileries this day at Y o'cleet. • Immediately
afterwards his Majesty received Marshal M'Mahon,
Duke of Magenta, the Cloiernor-General of Al-
geria. This coincidence will naturally favour the
commonly' received idea that AM-el-Bader% visit
to Paris is not unconnected with the Emperor's
plans of radical changes In the African colony. The
marshal will return to Algeria almost immediately.
The Ditiata, apropos of a recent speech in tire
Paps Degialatif of the Marquis de Pirei, drew a
parallel between three rather eccentric marquises—
the Marquis de Boissy, the Marquis de Pird, and
the Mirquis de Pierre. The tatter nobleman, who
belongs ti use of the very befit old, families in
France, was returned to the fiat Corps tegiali4if
as a government candidate, bet in consequence of
'tendency. to, independence; he was thrown out by
the prefect of the Auvergne at the last eleictlqn.

Moaicienr,—Yon were- wrong to meetioh my name, evert
favourably, in your sundae of July 3 ; you see you hive
drawn down upon yarnedf a reply, fee the issartiesi ad
which, however, I rely only upon your good feelhag.' Eon
Lee pleased to tatter certain marquises. It as not with st,
view of preventing you front going on with your eulogies
that I protest, but merely to say that my modesty doss not
allow me with nay commit to make one of the trio which
you extol with so much brMianey. There is nothing is
common among us but sincerity. ne Marquis as Boissy,
se spirituel sod so malin, cherishes • vigorous hatred
of the English, which dates from the origin of the
title of marquis, while I. if I know myself,
sin of as mild and placable • character as my
namesake the good Abbe de Saint Pierre. Like him, I
diesm of papitnal peace : and I would cheerfully sacrifice
my supsranettated title if I Gould thereby diminish the
annual eoatiirgent of the army by • Musk man. The only
Fort of your complimeute that I will accept is your praise
of my good nature. Good-natured, indeed, I am, Mr.
Editor, for since the ministers kept roe out of the chamber
I look upon them all from this distance as heroes, to whom
so opposition whatever should be made. I %envoi either
admit the Justice of your remarks upon the Aovergsst elec-
tors. They are not " barbarians," as you would safer; they
belong to that great school which has a Lune majority in
France whose admiration for force is sincere. They are
always on the side of the gendarme and the garde chem.
pktre, and I think they are right. Has not the most illus-
trious of the children of Auvergne raid :—" Not being able
so to arrange things as that the *AM ma should always
be the strongest, war most take it that the strangest is she
most jut." Than idea is racy of the soil from which it
sprang ; but so long as I believe in the religion of Pascal,
I shall protest against that political maxim of his. As to
my old colleague, the Marquis de Pier, whose good settee I
admire as much as you do, I think him very fortunate to
be able to asy all be thinks. I think what Imy : bat like
yourself (probably), Mr. Editor, I do not my all I think.—
