OUR PARIS LETTER.

(TROY On OWN

PARIS, TUESDAY Ewan.

If there bad been no foundation for the revela-
tions made by the Cassias so long ago as Friday,
of what passed at the last Council of Ministers, it
is certain that M. Pittard would at once have
taken the Emperor's orders by telegraph and that
a contradiction would have appeared in the Moni-
teur the next morning. If circumstances alone
did not corroborate the subetantial accuracy of the
sinister news given by the Ganlois there could not
be stronger confirmation of them than the
denial of a very small part only, which
after four days' reflection the Moniteur publishes
this morning. The Meniteur, oppressed by the
difficulty of denying and prosecuting a statement
evidently prompted by some one of the ministers
present at the council, now confines itself to the
special pleading allegation that there is no truth
in the statement that " plots and conspiracies
have recently been discovered by the govern-
ment." Vby of course not. Nobody ever believed
anything of the kind. But the Pays, the Can-
atitviionnel, the Etandard, and the France
were instructed to say the very next day
that the conspiracy in question was the
opt n and palpable ono resulting from the
tune of the opposition press and of opposition
speeches at public and " private" meetings, to
male use of existing liberties against the Empire
at the next elections. Putting this and that toge-
ther it is as plain to an outside observer as if be
had been piusent at the council. that some of the
ministers to avoid laughine at each other's ftIMI in
the Emperor's presume, when they made the sub-
scription for a tombstone to Baudin uu affair of
state, did talk about the necessity of repressing a
wide-spread conspiracy. The only false news of
this Gauluis consisted in representing as a
terrible and recent " discovery," that which all
the world long knows. The Mottifenr now denies
nothing else, and leaves, unfortunately, uneontra-
dietcd the remaining and more important allOir-
Hone of the Outdois, that the law of public safety
willbe put in force with the utmost severity. The
prosecutions in Paris and theprovinees, multiplied
to such an extent as to outstrip the vigilance of a
chronicler, and the" scandalously severe seutence
upon M. Delescluze, show that ell this was
true.
