PARIS, MONDAY Emma.

The liberal candidate for the Bes Rhin, before
whose pretensions all other opposition competitors
will doubtless give way, is M. Laboulaye, of the
Institute. He is warmly recommended in the
Liberti by M. Emile de Gfirardin, who,
while speaking of bis many and excel-
lent literary works, characterises as his chef
d'auvre the "Paris and America," which was re-
viewed at length in the Daily News last autumn.
The Tempe and °pieties Nationale and Preset
adhere to M. Laboulaye's candidature, and I
have no doubt the Si4lele will follow, al-
though it is silent on the subject this
morning. The election is to coins off on April 15,
and the government, which might have postponed
it for six months, must, I suppose, feel oonfident
that the appeal to the electors of Strasburg and the
vicinity made by Baron de Bassibre, the sit-
ting member, against the amendment of
the forty-six will be decided In its favour. I
think not. Baron de Bassibre says himself in his
address that be resigns because the liberal principles
he professed in 1863 may have got him many
votes which he would not otherwise have bad.
I am sure that the same liberal principles have
within the last five years made at least as much
(and probably more) progress in Mastless in other
parts of France, and I fully expect that Baron de
Bussibre will be thrown out.

The Patric holds itself authorised to give an un-
conditional denial to the news that the Emperor has
lately written a letter to the Minister of State,
containing a sort of governmental programme des-
tined to appear in the Moniteur.
bL Eloin, the Emperor Maximilian's private
secretary, now in Europe on a special mission, had
an audience of the Emperor Napoleon to-day.

There was somewhat more business done at the
Bourse to-day. The answer to inquiries at
the German embacsies is that there ie no fear of
war ; but on the other hand there is a rumour that
Austria is taking soundings for a new loan.
During the greater part of the day there was not
much fluctuation. Towards the close there were
a good many purchases in the Rents, which ulti-
mately rose 14e. both for cash and account.

The New York correspondent of the Times says
of the feeling et the American people on the subject of
Feideelsm, that they ridicule it because they do not believe
in its practicability. But " they sympathies with it not-
witbstandin—not because they like the Irish, for they de
sot. but because they dislike the English. If the Fenian,
can injure England well and good ; let them do it. If they
cannot they will injure themselves in the attempt, end the
Americans will still be glad. They bear no love to either
ride, but open the whole t►ey would lik, to nee the Fenian,
win. They know that to be impassible, told therefore they
' ridicule their proceedings,' as Mr. Oliphant hes told the
ROWS of Commons. The Irish are unpopular se a clue,
and so are the English, but the Irish did not take up a Coe-
federate loan or fit out Alahames and Shenandoah,, and
the English did, and therefore the Irish are a little the
favourites. This is assuswily the aimed feel* of the
American people. It is impossible for @ayes° who goes
about the country with his sere open to be mistaken on
the point. The Americans are too shrewd sad too food of
the dollars to take up Fenian bonds, whiob, by the way.
I are being sold In this city to the Idsh by thousands ; but,
like other people, they do not ohms put their money
I when they give their sympathies."
