OUR PARIS LETTER.

(ruom oun ows COHRUPOIMINT.)
PARIS, THITIVIDAT EVES!!+,;,

I remember noticing at the time of the diett::.
bances in Bordeaux that M. Grazier de Caasagnac.,
journal the Pays accused the prefect, Baron Dahill-
bort, of supineness and called for his dismissal.
This prefect remembering that Caasagnac has after
been the penholder of the Tuileries, and fearing
that he might be again, became uneasy about lui
place, and wrote an exculpatory letter to the
Minister of the Interior. M. Pinard, in a
letter the publication of which he autho-
rises, has given the prefect complete abso-
lution. It is amusing to see how this minister,
who but yesterday was a small country public pro-
secutor, speaks in the tone of his present high
commission to an old prefect, and a man of rank.
" I do not wonder," he says, " that you were
moved by the attacks made upon you, and you
did quite right to appeal to me, your natu-
ral judge.' I have conscientiously inquired
into your conduct, and I the less he3i
tate to render you full justice, because
I had found any trace of weakness in your attitu.i
I should have been extremely severe with ;co--
After then stating that in his opinion the preiett
in dealing with the entente hit the just median',
was indulgent and passive at a time when oct:on
might have given undue importance to a move-
ment which there was good ground to hope would
oome to nothing, and firm and resolute tLe
moment order was seriously troubled, M. Pinard
concludes his patronising letter as follows :
Yon may, therefore, be perfectly easy about the attack.,

. . . .

The Emperor to-day signed decrees convokins
the electors for the four vacant seats in the Dor.
dogne, Seine Infifrieure, Somme, and Tarn for the
first week in May. This is pregnant confirmation
of the news that no general elections will take place
this year. Some of these seats are likely to be
hotly contested.
The troubles at Grenoble and Rheims hare been
followed by some at a very little place indeed—
