OUR PARIS LETTER.

I MON OUR OWN

PARIS, 140NDAT Evirnim.

The cry of the Pays, " more press prosecutions,"
has been quickly responded to by the authorities
in connivance with whom it was probably raised.
The weekly paper conducted by the Deputies Glair
Bizoin and Pelletan, was seized yesterday with a
view to prosecution. In those cases it is never
known for some time what are the passages incri-
minated. In the present instance there is an
article headed Place a la Republique, advocating a
republican government in Spain, which offers to
an imperial public prosecutor an embarras du choir
of hanging matter. The deputy for Paris mpu-
diates the argument, put forward as conclusive
by General Prim, that you cannot have a
republic without republicans. There were
no republicans, he says, in Holland when she
shook off the Austrian yoke ; waged civil war with
the ocean—at once an enemy and an ally ; made
her microscopic territory, the swampy Athens of
the seventeenth century, the counting-house of
the world, the entrenched camp of thought ;
and after having, as a republic, beaten Philip 11.,
forced Louis XIV., the decrepid lover of Ma-
dame de Maintemon, to sign with his own royal
hand the disgraceful peace of Utrecht. In like
manner there were no republicans in North Ame-
rica on the day of the declaration of independence,
and Washington's staff " the worst type of mili-
tarism, the military courtier," offered the crown
to their general.
But the honest Virginia planter was too prowl to be
anything dee but a titian. He had found time in leisure
moments to glance at the chronicles of Europe, and ke had
/041111 how in the seals of degraded human beings there was
nothing lower than Louis XV. dying on the dung mixes
of his reign between an archbishop and • prostitute.
The youngest substitute in the imperial courts
could easily frame an indictment inculpating the
above passage as an attack upon religion and the
mostatuideal principle established in Prance by
unrivaled unitsge. The following passage is a
direct IMMO to dimeredit the reigning dynasty :
The Asa& revolution proclaimed the republic and
made the Rhine the frontier of victory. It would have
agemated Europe had it found • Washington, bat
to lead it only found • Bonaparte, and Heaven knows
Oat Prance km paid dearly enough for the Carlovingian
faro* played in a satin shirt on • mountebank's velvet-
covered platform by a lieute•ant of artillery.

It is probable, however, that the indictment
against the Tritswee will be founded ostensibly ea
the offence for which the demi? National is pro-
*muted, that of announcing a public subsoriptioa
for a monument to IL Baudin. The question bat
been asked with astonishment, what article of the
code readers such • proceeding criminal. X.
Jules Fevre, one of the very first lawyers in the
world, and but the other day the official leek- of
the Paris bar, has given the subscription the
sanction of his name. The discreet DEbato has 0,4
feared to publish M. Provost Parades name as
subscriber. The Temps of this evening, with
courage that can scarcely be sufficiently admired
under the circumstances, takes the bull by the
horns, and, defying the government to go on with
its prosecutions, deliberately associates itaelf with
the delinquents by printing a subscription list for
the monument, which is heeded by the resealed
nuns of Dufaure, olden represented du /nisei., and
• former minister of President Louis Napelma
Bonaparte. The Prows, although a thoroughly
dynastic paper, regrets these prosecutions, but
it
reproved for its weakness by the now more eutho-
rised organ of imperialism, the Pap. It seems
that the answer to the question, What law is there
to prohibit subscribing for • monument to any
citizen ? is to be found in a recent statute ineri
nating " manoeuvres in France with a view to
disturb the public peace and excite to hatred sad
contempt of the Emperor's governeinnt." It was
said by the opposition when this bill acne irtiri.l by a
Bernie majority that the word " ruatvi,urr,li" Wlll
elastic enough to make anything wb.it.v..r
at
offence which the government might ‘l,,r, to
treat as such. The Baudin prosecution
likely to bear out this prophecy.
The Progris of Lyons and the 2.v& are
The continued rise at the Bourse (Rente to-
day rose SBc., closing at 71fr. 74c.) is thus
mentod on by the conservative France:
It may be safety said that public confidence has moths;
to do with this revival, wheh is contrary to all pr:.
visions. We do not assuredly make ourselves the e
systematic bears with whom we Lae, never sny
mend,' of opinion, when we say that we eta IA as
natural cause ter this exaggerated rise.
