110* OUR OM

PARIS, MONDAT EVINI3IO.

In the Senate today, after a complimentary tri-
I •I'e paid by M. Tmploug to the memory of Count
T,-her do la Pagerie, whose death he announced,
t .ilea of the day was called for the debate ou
tird paragraph of the aildreas :
TL. Mantel' de Ilaisay,said that be was not vain glorionv.
be ventured to speak after what had beets so brid
...tie, but, as be thought, so unfortunately said Lid week.
t wader should sot be deterred from the performance of
by statement*, however high the quarter from which
14. poess.shal, thatthaas who honestly told the Senate what
14, t tie etilit en re enemies of the Emperor. For his own part,
4, was A staurich peutisan of the Emperor, and he billeted
tho calomoy to scorn. It used to be said formerly : "If
the Emperor only knew." But now it might be said :
"11. e Empen.r will be sure to know." .%nd that idea
viohl stay abuses. The Emperor knew what had been
...id la the Senate the other day, and would certainly desire
to know what were the arguments on the other side. Was
the theme always to he chloroformed while Incense
w...derwl up to the Sovereign. It should never be for-
gotten that a predeceseor of the present Sovereign had lost
the empire. That example would not be lust. The
present Emperor did not desire to be Battered.
N..: he wanted the opinion of the Senate, and it
RA4 their duty to give bun that opinion faithfully.
The Emperor's pretest enemies were his flatterers. "Let
them labour in their vocation while we do our duty." It
had been alleged that the catholic' were enemies of the
Emperor. No. The catholic, were more dynastic them
those who sought the overthrow of the papacy. He
attributed the vague and undecided character of the first
paragraph of the address to the fact that the committee
which drew it up was too small and did not sufficiently
represent the various opinions of members. But for this
they would not have had to observe with pain the &teases
of any allusion to the navy front which the country expected
such great eervices. "If a war should break out with
re,zlAud, which, for my own part, I desire with all my
heart- (Narks of dissent.)

Thr NAvitlis de LARUCHLIAQUELLI—This is hank, at all
esenti.

The Marquis ile Bowie (in continuation)—Much hat been
true of the benefits of the alliance with England. Ido not
slum that opinion; and I express my own, which I believe
to be that of the majority of the French people.k(Ob ! oh!)
[Left speaking.]

You neod not be exce4sively surprised at the
hostility of the Marquis do Bonny. So far from
being a " rerevsentative wan," ho is a fussy eccen-
tric personage, who, in the old parliaments, wu
always iu the wrong box, and whose advice nobody
would ever think of following. I think his esca-
pade on this occasion a very considerable guarantee
that the peace between the two countries is not
likely to be broken.

It is believed that Prince Napoleon will speak
spits before the debate on the paragraphs is over.
Ho last speech was at once translated into Italian,
printed, and sent off to Italy and Sicily, where it
will be must extensively distributed.

The Archbishop of Tours, following up the idea
of the Bishop of Poitiers, writes to the Pope,
" You are at this moment a spectacle for men and
envie, like Jesus Christ upon the cross." How-
ever, as his grans says nothing about Pilate, the
Council of State will, i dare say, let him alone.
A letter from Rome says that in one of the churches
there the allegorical figure of " Humility" is re-
presented in a painting just finished, by a young
girl treading under foot the cross and ribantl of the
Legion of Honour. If this be humility, it must
be supposed that the many bishops and priests who
at one time humbly supplicated for the order in
question, now wear it by way of mortification.
The 'onstitofiossiel, piqued at the disdainful man-
ner iu which the Marquis do Laroch ejaquelin speaks
of the press, tells the story that only a few months
ago he condescended to come to their office to beg
fur a notice of a pamphlet of his, and said, "Do
speak of it. Praise or blame just as you like, but
say something. Ido not deserve the punishment
of your silence."

The Bourse was very dull. The Rents fell sc.
for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at GBfr. se.
in each case. Mobilier fell lOfr. In railways there
is scarcely any change. The Miris socurittes are
• trifle better.

At Belfort, ia the Haut Rhin, a municipal coun-
cillor, having been discovered to be the author of
a scurrilous paper thrown into the ballot-box,
threatening the mayor to burn his house down it
he did nut resign, has been sentenced to • month's
imprisonment, and the Prefect has ordered his
perpetual diafnutchierment

bfdlle. Kandy, the new tragic actress of the
Odeon, is rapidly acquiring a reputation. Her per-
formance of Aggrippine in the Flit de Nemo—a
favourite part of Mdlle. Georges' thirty years ago
—is praised by all the theatrical fenilletonista this
week. The young lady is a native of fisumur,
•here she was a drommaker, and her real name is
Caroline Dessau.
