PARIS. WEDNESDAY EVENDIO.

The sitting in the Corps Legislatif to-day was com-
paratively short, and not very interesting. M. Kel-
ler, member for the Haut Rhin, who was brought in
by a most undue stretch of government influence,
against Count Migeon, the popular favourite,
showed his gratitude (his friends may justly say
his independence) by following MM. Flavigny,
Kolb-Bernard, and Pliehou in their violent attacks
upon the imperial policy in Italy. This gentleman
has small oratorical powers, and doles out his words
at a slow rate, which must be very agreeable to
the shorthand writers, though fatiguing to the
audience. Nevertheless, thanks to a distinct utter-
ance, a pleasing manner, and the evident sincerity
of his catholic professions, he obtained a patient
hearing for a speech lasting an hour and a half,
which was so dull, and so full of repetition of
things previously said in the debate, that an
English House of Commons would never have lis-
tened to it.

M. Keller recapitulated at tedious length the
charges of the Pope's advocates who had preceded
him, and, being evidently pressed by the considera-
tion that his and their arguments pointed directly to
a holy war, he endeavoured to show that a word from
France sincerely spoken would maintain the Pope
at Rome, restore his lost states, bring back the
dukes and the King of Naples, and revive the
whole scheme of the Villafranca confederation. By
way of proof of this assertion, he stated that be had
been told by General de Goyon himself that
whenever his instructions justified him in extend-
ing French protection in the Roman states,
he had only to send a courier and the Pied-
montage retired immediately. He declared
and excited some curiosity by the tone in which
he made the declaration, that the whole keylto the
Emperor's policy was to be found in a passage
which he would read from the ifortiteitr. He
proceeded to read the letter which on the evening
of his execution Orsini wrote to the Emperor, and
he characterised the policy now dominant as "the
revolutionary policy of Piedmont, patronised by
England, and incarnate in the assassin Orsini."
M. Billault, called up by the growing acerbity of
the attacks upon the government, made a short
reply, in which he showed that France had done
more for the Pope than any other catholic power,
and pertinently asked how long the forcible
intervention called for in Italy was to endure ?
He denied the possibility of founding a stable
government in Italy by force, and said that it
would have been idle in France to have given
Piedmont the counsels suggested, because she could
not have followed them on account of the hostility
of the Italian people to their governments.
After M. Billault's speech, the general discussion
was closed.

A member read a speech on the first paragraph,
amidst the general inattention of the house ; and,
finding himself not listened to, he discreetly
skipped three out of four of the sheets which he
held in hie hand, and came suddenly to an unambi-
tious conclusion. While this gentleman was speak-
ing, M. Jules Faite, with a bundle of papers under
his arm, went up the steps repeatedly to whisper
to the president, and a thrill ran through the gal-
leries at the thought that the great orator was going
to speak, but the expectation was disappointed ;
the house adjourned at the unusually early hour of
5 o'clock.

The arrest of H. Auguste Blanqui, on a charge of form-
ing part of a secret society, was yesterday announced at the
Pelais de Justice. It may be remembered that H. Elanuri
was, in 1839, condemned to death, which sentence was
afterwards commuted to transportation for life. As at that
period France had no place to which convicts under that
sentence could be sent, be had to undergo his punish.
mast in France. The revolution of 1848 restored
him to liberty. Three months after, on the 15th May,
1848, he was again arrested, and in 1849 the High Court of
&urges condemned him to transportation for life. The
amnesty wanted by the Emperor in 1859 to all political
offenders, again set him at liberty from the prison in Cor-
sica, where be was confined. The police have also arrested
a man, named Auguste Senique, a wood.turner, on a similar
charge. The two ptieouers, who, it is said, bid come from
London, have been lodged in the prison Nam.

It is to be regretted that so soon after the amnesty
a man who belongs to the class of political " sus-
pects" should be arrested upon such an elastic
charge as that of belonging to a secret society.
The truth, as I am informed is, that the momebt
IM. Blanqui, confiding in the amnesty, came to
France, he received a summons to attend the
police bureau, in order probably that he might be
made to consent to some kind of surveillance. Not
liking this, he disobeyed the summons and went
abroad. He .was imprudent enough to return to
France afterwards, and being recognised, has been
arrested as above mentioned.
The Bourse opened with some animation, but
became rather flat at the close. The Relate, how-
ever, sustained the highest prices of the day, and
closed at 68fr. sc. and 68fr. 10c., with a rise of 10c.
and 15c. Mobilier rose only lfr. 25c. Railways
left off with scarcely any change.

A letter from Rome of the sth says :—" The
pupils of St. Luke's Academy this morning placed on the
wall a portrait of the King, with the inscription •Long
live Victor Emmanuel, by Divine Providence and the will
of the nation, King of Italy r and placed tri-coloured rib-
bons in their button-boles. In this demonstration the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested."

The Italian residents of Alexandria, in Egypt,
have sent their native country a memorial of her deliver-
ance, in the shape of four columns, of rare beauty, inscribed
with hieroglyphics, and belonging to the early periods of
Egyptian antiquity. These columns were some time ago
preAented by the Viceroy to the Italian sculptor, Emilio
