OUR PARIS LETTER.

(FROM Ont OWN CORKKSPONDEN7
PARIS, WEI,NI:,,MY
Among several opposition 1,1,
budget negatived in the Corps Logi.la!if
day, one moved by M. Magnin laoa,..d:t t
short declaration from Marshal Niel cat Li
mako foreign governments pensive. M. m
moved to strike out an item of tsm,ootur,,
of the six " great military commands "
the Emperor some time ago,
the mover of the amendment said were 11:1!,
necessary. France had got on very well
them, and now that the country was eover.-1
a net-work of railways and telegraphs. and tL.•.;
divisions of the army or any part of the la
readily be concentrated on any given
order from the Minister of War, thea, • ai x
quarters were even a greater superfluity thee,
would have been formerly. The pretext t
them that they were wanted as r.sw
Marshals of France would not now 1,11
cause three out of the six commands a
in the hands of generals of divisions. H
therefore, was a capital opportunity for
Niel to get back the million which the
had remorselessly struck out of his
other day, and which he pathetically said I.
not do without.
Marshal Niel said:

One of the most necessary conditions of 1.!1 trnt
these days is to bo able to pass easily ti iu . 1.
to a war footing. In order to do this divi.u-t,
be formed into a corps d'arms. The ;
true, enable us quickly to form divisions, but th.• ~,„.
placed under a leader who must .•
and it is difficult to arrange all this without . •
beforehand the plans of government. As it i. c. .

have a corps d'arnele ready to march in fly.: ,r,
leaders are there, the staff is ready and mount..l.
campaign might be undertaken immediatc!s.
nations have their corps d'orm,,e formed and r
march, and France must not be hc•huedhaud.
M. Jules Favre observed that the cleete::
of the Minister of War did not seen: t
very reassuring, and that, I apprehend, x
the opinion of the world. These six •z:
commands were formed, there is too much : i•
to believe, with a view to the " mission." y •
undeveloped, which the Emperor, in his
taincbleau speech, says, " must be accomplisi.
There is a talk of the King of the u:: 1.: •
ing a visit to the Emperor at Plombiere,.
M. Delescluze, the editor of the 11,', •

of his new paper " exciting to hatred and •., in!
