PARIS, gaTUIDAY BVINDIM.

M. alenri Rochefort, irr his* Lenterne of
professes to have heard a itininsu. that Mi
finding that his interdiction of the saki in the
Boulevard kiosks and railway stations has only
served to increase the circulation tenfold, now
means to withdraw the prohibition in the hope
that in obedience to the rale of contraries the
public will cease to buy the turbulent opposition
print when it may be more easily had. M. Roche-
fort, how the pinnacle of his extraordinary ene-
mas, looks down soornfully upon M. Pinard'a
" stamp," which, he says, may be dean enough
for him, but after the sanction it has given to the
sale of many filthy and abominable works, is too
dirty for any decent book " until it gets a od
washing with soft soap." For himself he d gois-
tinctly declines the privilege assumed to be prof-
fered. Of course he oannot prevent the street
vendors from selling. his pamphlet if they obtain
government permission; but by refusing to allow
them any discount he may make it next to impos-
sible for them to sell at a profit, and so may con-
tinue to keep the stimulating flavour of forbidden
fruit for the little red book which terribly stains
the bands this hot weather, and is every Saturday
morning seen in the hands, or sticking out of the
side pockets, of almost every other person you
meet on the Boulevard des Italians.

Among many other items of news noticed by M.
Rochefort to-day is a very extraordinary one, some
days old, but which not having been contradicted
is probably true. Near Mets, the great garrison
town on the German frontier, where that prepara-
tion for war which Marshal -Niel thinks necessary
to consolidate peace is going on with almost more
impetuosity than anywhere else, the inhabitanta of
the Commune of Saint Julien have oomplained that
they dare not work in their vineyards on amount
of showers of balls from troops practising with the
Chaasepot ride. The considerate answer of the
military authorities is that the vino-growers will
be allowed two days a week to cultivate their own
property, and that if they go upon the ground
on other days it will be at their own risk snot peril.
On this the Lanterns observes : " Land may be
bought for a song in this district, subject to con-
stant bombardments. It cannot be too often re-
peated that those who authorise these scandalous
violations of private rights style themselves pro-
tectors of family and property, and those who
implore them not to mow down honest cultivators
with their bullets they call communists."
Here is another remark of the Lanterne, which
will give an idea of the style of opposition now
possible under the new press law :
It is announced that a history of Charlemagne by
Napoleon 111. will shortly appear. We should greatly
like to son a history of Napoleon 111. written by Char-
lemagne.

The following is the concluding paragraph :
The twenty-fourth volume of the correspondence of
Napoleon I. is jut out. Ye ingenuous souls who yet believe
in the "noble carat of the diadem" read these letters, and if
they donot completely cure you, your respectful monomania
must be radically pest help. There in a course of Italian
policy you will see how bases are sent to sovereigns whom
it is intended to dethrone a week later. You will see how
official journalists are treated by monarchs whom they are
simple enough to serve. And, finally, you will see what fan-
taafie capers a human being may be brought to cut by the
epilepsy of power. And only to think that this is the
correspondence of a man to whom it is agreed to award
the epithet "Great." What shall be said of monarchs
who have merited the surname of "little."

The Emperor came to Paris to-day to preside at
a ministerial council, previous to his departure for
Plombieres to-morrow. It is now said, contrary
to the rumours of a few days back, that both the
Empress and the Prince Imperial will join his
Majesty at the Chalons camp on August 12, and
that they, ea well as the Emperor, will pass the
fete of August 13 there.
Some little time ago, when a journal called the
Situation existed in Paris, it would. I suppose,
have been libellous to have said that it was
founded with the King of Hanover's money for
the purpose of supporting his interests and
fomenting a war feeling- between France and
Prusaia. And yet it would have been greatly for
the public intestaitialiii should have been publicly
known that the writers in the Situation, instead of
being, as they held themselves out to be, French-
men writing from patriotic motives, were the paid
hacks of a fallen foreign sovereign. There can be
no question of any libel now, because ten members
of the staff of the defunct print are pestering M.
de Medling, the ex-eh ate d'afaires of George V.,
for arrears of pay, and no less than three actions
have been commenced.
