PARIS. TUMIDLY ETIIOI6.

The liberal journals are now unanimous in sup-
porting the candidature of M. Laboulaye for the
Bas Rhin, and there can be no doubt that his name
will be the watchword of the first great electoral
battle between the principles of the amendment of
the forty-six and those of the Emperor's last speech.
M. Nefftser, whose name bad been put forward as
that of a candidate, declares in this evening's
Temps that he has never thought of offering him-
self, and that in any case he would withdraw in
favour of such a man as K Laboulaye. The local
liberal candidate, K Hagen, will have no chance.
K Laboulaye has taken the necessary oath of a
candidate, and letters from Strasbourg speak most
encouragingly of his prospects.
It happens that the bioniteur, giving an account
of a meeting of the shareholders and patrons of
the popular library of the fifth arrondissement
held on Sunday in the Sorbonne, mentions that K
Laboulaye, in a speech " enthusiastically ap-
plauded" by an overflowing audience, "treated
with that charming eloquence and elevation of
thought for which he is distinguished " the singu-
larly appropriate question of "self-education."
The library on behalf of which he pleaded has now
550 adherents and 3,000 volumes. The monthly
subscription is only 8 sous for men and 20 for
women.
You will have received the melancholy news that
IL Langlais, councillor of state, who was lent by
the Emperor Napoleon to the Emperor Maximilian,
for the purpose of putting the finances of the latter
in order, has died at his poet. M. Langlais was
not at first satisfied with his reception in Mexico,
and there are conflicting reports as to the extent to
which his very difficult mission was supported by
Maximilian subsequently. M. Langlais was of very
humble origin. He was born on Feb. 27, 1810, at
Mermen, in the department of the Sarthe.
His father, though only a weaver, had interest
enough to get his son a "purse" in the college
of his native town. From that college he was
transferred to the seminary of Le Hans, where he
studied theology under Abbd Bouvier, who after-
wards became the bishop of the diocese. The
revolution of 1830 diverted his ideas from religion
as • profession, and he entered himself as a legal
student. During his noviciate he edited a catholic
journal called the Dovninicale. He was called to
the bar in 1837, and soon became one of the prin-
cipal contributors of judicial articles to the
" Encyclopedia of the Nineteenth Century." In
1840 he was a redaeteur of the Prase under
K Emile de Girardin, and wait appointed
standing counsel to that journal. After the
revolution of February he was returned to the Con-
stituent Assembly by his native department of the
Sarthe. In the Legislative Assembly, subse-
quently, he was one of the earliest and most
constant supporters of the policy of the
The memory of this service was bis passport to a
government candidature otter the coup d'Ret. In
1857 be was made a councillor of state, and in 1855
he was selected as a fit, discreet, and proper person
to be sent out to Mexico, for the porticos of direct-
ing the budget of the independent Emperor Maxi-
milian, in such a way as to 'observe French inte-
rests without contradicting the theory of the real
sovereignty of the potentate to whom his services
and advice were tendered.

The Donne remains in an attitude of expects,.
;ion, with scarc?ly any change in quotations. The
general impression is that war between Amish
and Prussia is less probable than it was tboaoi
to be a few days ago.
