PARIS, WITIINSPAT ETIRMie.

The first opposition circular in Paris bas just ap-
peared. It is that of M. Ferdinand do Lasteyrie, the
candidate on both the demomatic lists for the pth
circaritscription, and is in the following terms :

Long dimouter re sot now to sewn. For those who
know hio, a predation of filth on my port ia not wanted. To
°them I wise myself to myth( thiss—The awe whkh I
have always served, the only ems that I ever will serve, is
that otlibety. Whim liberty is prostrate, my devotion to
her lo doubly dos. All those who in any way whatever work
for liberty aro to its fiends and motored allies. I em, and
always WO be, the edvvrwy of those who repudiate and
oppress liberty.

F. DE LASTFYRIE.
Baron David, as aide-de-camp of Marshal Prince
Jerome, has come forward as an independent can-
didate ir. the Gironde. The Courriee de la Giroade
lately stated that he had a very poor chance of MC,
cam, and would probablyinon retire. Baron David
has now written to that journal to say that if he
awe to go to the poll his success would be certain,
for that his opponent, Colonel Thieron, the govern-
ment candidate, finding the result of his canvass
very discouraging, had thought it expedient to go
to Paris to secure his election there. On Juno 8,
he, Baron David, received a letter from the Emperor,
desiring him to withdraw his pretensions. lle at
once obeyed the Emperor's wish, but at the same
time he has resigned his post as aide-de-camp
to Prince Jerome, and sent in his resigna-
tion as an officer to the Minister of War. lie

says he has become a civilian in order that he may
"enjoy the privilege of being able to make known
the truth." In the Dordogne the mayor of Sagalat,
in answer to a prefectoral circular asking all the
mayors to say whether yes or no it was their inten-
tion to support the government candidate, has had
the hardihood to write to the sub-prefect that he
"confesses as sincerely as the most repentant sinner
could do before God," that it is his intention " openly
and resolutely" to support the opposition candidate,
M. Gibiat. This gentleman, by the way, has written
a counter-circular to the mayors, in which he re-
minds them that although it is their duty to issue
electoral cards to each elector, the law does not
compel them to do what they will pro-
lushly be asked to do by the prefects,
namely, to send with the card a voting bulletin
for the government candidate. Ile submits that it
is undignified and indecent for a mayor to make
himself a hawker of bulletins for a particular can-
didate, and that such a course is in reality an
infringement on the secrecy of the vote which the
Constitution requires. If the mayors send bulletins
round at all, he suggests that in all fairness they
should send the opposition bulletins as well as the
government ones, only leaving the electors free to use
which they like.
M. Defame's candidature in one of the depart-
ments is contradicted. Ile declares positively that
he will not stand anywhere.
The Prefect of the Oise requests the Prose to
contradict a statement that he had prevented the
insertion of M. de Pontalba's circular in the local
journals. lie left them free to act on their own
responsibility. It appears, however, that the two
journals of Scotia did refuse to insert the address,
and that M. de Pontalba having applied to a court
of law to compel the insertion of it, the court de-
cided that it had no jurisdiction.
Count de Civrac, one of the late members for the
Maine and Loire, writes that he is now an inde-
pendent, and not a government, candidate.
An important electoral event of the day is the ad-
hesion of the Unirers with (but a slight qualifica-
tion) to the government. This journal has all along
deoouneed the policy of abstention, but its intentions
with respect to the vote have hitherto been iuvolved
in mystery. It now publishes a long manifesto from
the pen of M.LostisTeuillot,the substance of which is

that, although the Emperor's government has not
hitherto done for the church what was expected
from him, it is hoped that, now that he sees in the
present electoral movement evidence that the revolu-
tion is not dead, he will ultimately ally himself with
the church, by whose aid alone he can keep the
hydra-headed monster down.

-The downward movement continues at the Boars,.
The Rente fell 20c. for cash and 2.3 e. for account,
closing at 68fr. 50c. and 68fr. 33c. Mobilier fell
32G. 50c. for cash, and 10fr. for account. The
Eastern railway fell 12fr. 50e.; Mediterranean and
Western, 10fr. each; Lyons, 71r. 50c.; and other
lines from 2fr. 50c. to Ofr. There was batlittle busi-
ness doing all day. The hope of a lowering of ,

discount by the Banks of France and England is
almost abandoned. The considerable exportation
of the precious metals from London to India and
China will, it is said, prevent the Bank of England
front moving, and the Bank of France will adhere
to the dolts quo until the example of a change is
set in London.
