PARIS, SUNDAY Evmama.

The Prase remarks that while all the ordinary
journals and latest letters are agreed that Count
Teleki died by suicide, the Moniteur alone appears
to have a doubt upon the subject, and in its bul-
letin only admits suicide as an "hypothesis." I
think the Prase attributes too much importance to
the Moniteur in this instance. The writer of the
bulletin had in all probability no instructions be-
yond the intelligence open to all the world, and it
is unlikely that he meant to insinuate a suspicion
of a murder. Count Teleki was an unusually
nervous and excitable man, and his friends are not
surprised to bear that be committed suicide. The
Austrian government has crimes enough to answer
for. Let us not imagine an additional one.
The Pays—which, under the direction of M.
Granier de Caasagnac, is the enemy of the liberty
of the press as of all other liberties, and was de-
nounced yesterday by the Prate as the only journal
in France that stands up for slavery—now con-
firms, in the following ungracious terms, the news
that the Emperor is going to do something for the
per:

We have moon to know that a bill is in preparation.
As to its clauses nobody yet knows anything. We believe
we may, however, state that it will maintain the principles
which form the basis of the existing legislation, but will
modify certain regulations, so se to bring the law into more
complete harmony with the decree of November 24.

This is in the French phrase porter pour ne rien
dire. The " basis" of the present legislation on the
press—that of 1852—is despotism, and it follows
from the principles of November 24 that such a
basis is a bad one. The question now is how far
the bad basis is to be uprooted.
A ministerial journal of Madrid of May 7 gives
a not very clear denial of the rumours circulating
about Morocco, asserting at the same time that
the Morocco government does not refuse to pay
the indemnity, and that Spain will not allow it to
shrink from its engagements.
The masonic lodges of France are about to meet
to elect a grand master, and there is no doubt that
Prince Murat, on account of his being a pretender
to the throne of Naples, and,as such, the represen-
tative of ultramontanism, will be deposed, and
Prince Napoleon elated in his stead.

PARIS, SATURDAY Evinnwa.
The confirmation of the news that the French
troops will evacuate Syria by June 5 produced a
favourable effect on the Bourse ; and, although the
highest prices of the day were not maintained to
the close, the Rente left off with a rise of 15c. for
cash and 10c. for account, the last price being
69.50 f. and 69.45 f. Mobilier fell 1.25 f. The
Lyons and Southern Railways rose 3.75 f. each,
and the other lines were about 1.25 f. higher.
News has been received in Paris that the govern-
ment of Morocco has not only made defaiSt in re-
gard to the last instalment of the war indemnity
which it had contracted to pay, but has given
notioe that it will not be able to pay any more
money at all. This news has made a great sensation
at Madrid. It may perhaps lead to a new campaign,
and possibly to a ministerial crisis, as the adver-
saries of Marshal O'Donnell will be likely to do
their utmost to turn the circumstance to account.
Spain, it will be remembered, holds Tetuan as a
guarantee for the money due from Morocco, and
the continued occupation of that place by Spanish
troops will be an additional European complication.
M. Veuillot's pamphlet, " Waterloo," is out to-
day. The author's theory is that Waterloo was a
victory gained by the protestant over the catholic
nations of Europe, that Louis Napoleon's expedi-
tion to Rome and the restoration of the temporal
power was the revenge of the catholic nations, and
that at this moment the protestanta are meditating
a second and more terrible Waterloo, which shall
result in the suppression of the temporal power. This
view must be admitted to be original. Although it
so happened that England and Prussia, two of the
parties to the last coalition against Napoleon,
were protestant nations, it never before occurred to
any historian that the catholic religion was the
victim of Waterloo.

The eminent protestant preachers, MM. Ahanase
and Etienne Coquerel, wrote to the papers to add
their names to those of their brethren who protest
against M. Guizot's oration in favour of Itomannim.
The Russian goyernment, following the example
set by Prussia, has determined to grant visas to
passports issued to Italians in the name of the
King of Italy. Austria is still recusant, but she
stands alone.

It is announced that Mrs. Paterson's appeal will
positively be argued early in June. It was fixed
for May 30, but was put off in consequence of M.
Allou, Prince Napoleon's counsel, having another
engagement for that day. M. Berryer, who has
entirely recovered from his indisposition, will sup-
port the appeal • and M. Chain d'Est Ange, the
Procureur General, will fill the public minister's

chair.
