PARIS. MONDRY MORNING.

A letter from the Emperor to Prince Napoleon,
dated Oct. 30, relative to free emigration, is made
public in the Morsiteur. His Majesty says:
" I wish the question of free workmen to be de-
finitively examined, that it may be solved according
to the true principles of law and humanity. I have
energetically demanded the restitution of the
Charles-et-Georges because I shall ever maintain the
independence of the national flag ; but as to the
principle of the contract, my ideas are far from
being fixed. If it is nothing else than the slave trade
disguised, Ido not wish it at any price. Seek then
the truth, and ei the best mode of putting an end to
conflicts, resume with the English government the
negotiations commented some months ago for em-
ploying the labour of Indian cooker"

PARIS, SUNDAY ETZNING.

The justification of the conduct of the court of
Rome in the Mortars affair, put forth by the official
journal of Rome, inspires the Droit with the fol-
lowing strong observations:
If at Roma all those are declared to be pagans who think
that natural right should everywhere and always prevail, that
the father who hie done nothing to fat felt his natural rights
cannot without injustice be deprived of his paternal power,
and that the child cannot lawfully and rightly be detained in
a convent spinet his own and his father's will, we declare
ourselves pagan, and we arm that outside the office of the
Miura none but pagans will be found among c►tholia. If at
Roma it is designed to bring us back to the times of feudality
and the holy Inquisition, and to convert the Catholic religion
into an instrument of tyranny and oppression, then we Gay
that the conquests of reason and the public conscience have
met our fathers too much blood and too many swiftest of all
kinds for us now to suffer a few fanatical to set at nought
these dearly bought rights. • • • If the doctrines d
the Niters should triumph at Rome, and if there should be
sap repetition of Mortara's • raw, we should indeed lament
seek blindnesa, end say, from the bottom of oar hearts,

There is not a line worth the notice of the Eng-
lish reader in any of the other papers, and there is
no political news stirring in Paris, whatever there
may be at Compiegne, where there is • cabinet
council to-day.

The Pattie, in a paragraph to which I have already
alluded, as expressing an opinion that M. de Mon-
talembert's cam does not came within the law of
public safety, went on to say that in any event the
government would never for a moment think of
applying that law to an honourable man like M. de
Montalembert ; that law was made more against
enemies of society than political enemies of the
government; it was never meant to apply to any
but rare and exceptional cases; and now, under the
regular and legal sway of M. Delangle, there was
no probability of its being used as it was in the
time of General Peplums. It is to be inferred that
the sentiments expressed by the Petrie are not in
accordance with those of the government, for all the
journals of Paris received peremptory orders not to
reproduoe the paragraph.
Baron La Roeder. le Nonry, captain in the
French navy, arrived at Berlin on October 6, on a
special mission, and was to have a private audience
of the Prince Regent the next day.
Prince Adam Czartoryski, who has lived in Paris
ever since the Polish emigration, has received per-
mission from the Prince Regent of Prussia to pay a
visit to his daughter in the Grand Duchy of Posen.
