PARIS, FRIDAY BYRN INO.

M. (hauler de Cusagnao argues in the Pays that
it is ungracious on the part of England to object to
France taking Savoy end Nice, since France never
objected to the " more or less regular " occupation
by England of the Lae of Perim. He considers the
two cases analogou. As France made no remon-
strenos against England taking Perim, which was
an important station for her with reference to her
vest Indian possessions, so England, as a good
neighbour, ought to say nothing about France ab-
sorbing Savoy, and so extending her frontier in a
direction on which, if Sardinia is to become a great
power, she might, in certain not impossible contin-
gencies, be exposed to invasion. As Perim was of
secondary importance to France, so Savoy is of se-
condary importance to England. If France had
raised obstacles to the occupation of Perim, she would
have displayed a petty policy which would certainly
have embittered the relations between the two
countries, while it would have been far from certain
that her objections would have been listened to. It
is just so, says M. de Cassagnec, with regard to the
" eventual" annexation of Savoy and Nice. He de-
nounces as men who ought to be struck off the list
of statesmen those who, by making inconsiderate
motions in parliament, attempt to sow distrust be-
tween neighbouring nations whose union and good
understanding is of immense moment to the peace
of the world.

The Petrie, panning the course long followed by
the semi-official journal', still argues that Chablais
and Faucigny must be annexed to France with the
rest of Savoy, notwithstanding the reserve made by
the Emperor's speech—in a passage having especial
reference to those provinces—of the rights of
Switzerland. By and bye, the Emperor will say
that he is forced to extend his claims in deference
to " public opinion "in France. This journal pub-
lishes a letter from Savoy, signed "Alfred Puget,
avocet," which concludes with the words, " Airier°,
arriere la Suisse! et rive 6 jamais la France!" This
patriot is an early candidate for rewards in the
country to which he wishes to transfer his allegiance.
He is probably an adept of the Bright doctrine—as
is 4d. to 2d., so is the love of one country rather
than another.

The Bourse was favourably affected by the new.
that Mr. Kinglake's motion wu adjourned. The
Rente, although it fell sc. for cash, rose lsc. for ac-
count, the closing prices being 87fr. 65c. and
87fr. 75c. Mobilier rose 2h. 500. There was little
change in railways; pries, were rm at the dose,
but there was little business doing.
The law, as it affects duelling, is not administered
in France with perfect uniformity. It has been re-
marked that M. Vaudin—the fact of whose convic-
tion. I mentioned yesterday—is sentenced to a
month's imprisonment for "cutting and wounding"
M. About by the same tribunal (that of Vtreailles)
which altogether absolved the tamotts Lieutenant
Hyine, who ran M. de Peas through the body and
left him at death's door.

There is to bee bong/gra, procession on the Mi.
Creme—Thiuuday next. This renewal of the
pageant peculiar to Mardi Gras is, I believe, unpre-
cedented. M. Duv►l, the proprietor and founder of
various monster restaurants, of which the central
type is the Etabliessment de Bouillon, in the Rua
Mooteequieu, being seized with a fit of jealousy of
the butcher who bought the prize animals this year,
conceived the idea of promenading a baufgras at
his own cost, and has obtained permission from the
authorities to gratify his fancy.
