PARIS, VIIISDAY EVINIWO.

The newly-elected members of the Corps Legis-
latif who refused to take the oath are now reduced
to two, MM. Carnot and Goudchaux. MM. Dari-
mon and 011 is ier, the only other opposition mem-
bers for Pavia (now that General Cavaignac is dead)
have taken it, u it was expected they would do.
Bo also (and this we, not expected) have M. Curt,
of Bordeaux, and Dr. Herron, of Lyons. The latter
refused it once before. He has, perhaps, been in-
duced to change his opinions by the arguments of
the celebrated H. Prondhon, who in a private letter
recommends that the oath should be takennpon the
principle that although if you haves coat thatyon dis-
like you change it if you can, you are content to wear
it if you ern get no other. M. Canoes letter to Hs
I constituents, giving his reasons for refusing the
oath, is now made public. Nothing is said about
any demonstration on the part of M. Goudr-haux. He
will probably retire quietly.

There are three vacant seats for Paris, but
the elections need not, and probably will not come
on till six months after the vacancies occurred. The
only liberal candidata, whore names I have heard
mentioned are M. Ravin, of the &irk, and M.
Nefftzer, the late editor of the Prase.

Count Migeon, of Haut Rhin celebrity, whose
election it was thoughrmight fuvr'sh the only pos-
Mble excuse fora debate during the present formal
onion, his cut the Gordian knot by resigning Ws
seat. He, however, only resigns in order to be ab-
solved by his constituency from the stigma put upon
him by the official provocation of Colmar. He will
stand again, and ask his constituents to give him
their verdict against his enemy, the prefect, By
taking this comas, he hes contrived to put the
government into a situation of great em-
barrassment, bawls M. Migeon's popularity
is so well known in the department that his
re-election is quite certain, unless it shall be deter-
mined to resort again to those barefaced illegal mea-
sures which were denounced to the execration of
the world by M. Jules Fevre at the trial. More
M. Migeon's appeal from the Court of Colmar
to the peasants of the Haat Rhin is (Lofts orthodox,
ander a government wb;ch by its origin is estopped
from denying the power of universal suffrage to
make right wrong. In making this observation,
however, I am far from wisb'ng to insinuate that
the judgment of the Court of Colmar against Count
Migeon was right, for I think, as I have already
said, that it was against the weight of the evidence.
The Bourse was greatly affected by a fall of per
cent. in Consols, and by news from Hamburg of the
failure of MM. Ulbarg and Cramer, at Hamburg,
whose liabilities are rated at 12 millions of mares
bane*. This firm was in difficulties three weeks
ago, and the Swedish Bank then advanced a large
sum to prop it up. It is still said that means will
be taken to enable it to resume business. However,
the panic at Hamburg is deplorable. Other failures
have also taken place in Germany, and at Turin and
Genoa. Meanwhile, the bills falling due yesterday
in Paris were duly honoured, and they amounted to
nearly three millions of pounds sterling. The Rente
fell 15c. for cash, and 20c, for account, closing at
67*. 10c. and 67fr. Railways lost nearly all that
they gained yesterday.

THE CRISIS AT HAMBURG.

A telegram, dated Hamburg, the Ist of December
(yesterday), which appears in all the Pfiris and Bel-
gian papers, say.:
" In one day 20 failures of important houses have
been announced here and a: Alton. There is a
general panic. Many brokers hare failed. The
Bourse ia in dismay. Merthandise and scrip are
without any fixed quotation. No bills are dis-
counted."

According to a Vienna letter, the Prises Royal
ot Naples is to go to hlrnioh Is Fels eat 1, to In beleelhal to
the young Bavarian pinions, dater of the &spar of
Aneen.

A sad event occurred in Paris two days sines.

Count Catania, and an officer of the asides. They fought
with small swords, and at the third pass the must wen run
