PARIS, MONDAY ETININD.
The Cormier de Paris, proceeding to its work
es a constitutional opposition " journal clues' the

French newspapers into four categorise "1. The
journals which are neither for the empire nor for
'liberty. 2. The journals which are for liberty
without the empire. 3. The journals which are for
the empire without liberty. 9. The journals which
are for liberty under the empire. Neither the
empire nor liberty means tither the restoration of
the Count de Chambord, or the return to
France of the Count de Paris, or the triumph
of the felon. Liberty without the empire
means a new revolution, leading onoe again
to a new dictatorship. The empire without
liberty is the ideal of the journals which
hare brought us into existence, just as light is a con-
trast to darkness. Liberty under the empire is
whal we wish for, and what all friend. of reform
and all enemies of revolution should wish for with
es. The empire and liberty may be as easily recon-
ciled with each other as' the empire and peace If
the empire is a glorious peace, why should it not be
fruitful liberty ? What is neotesary to make
liberty fruitful! That power should be virile.
By the common consent of all, friends and enemies,
the existing power in France unites all the condi-
tions of virility and strength ; the empire which is
peace may therefore be also liberty."
The article concludes by citing • letter of M.
Wall de Oirardin's, written to the Independence
an August 3 ; and I more than suspect that M.
Ensile de Girardin. , whose peculiar style it is die-
milt to mistake, and who is now in Paris, is in
reality the author, not only of the above manifesto,
bet of the one that appeared in the Cowrie?
yesterday.

The liidependatic e notice, a report that Y. Peyrot
ia likely to be started for one of the vacant seats in
Paris. It is certain that if only the readers of the
Praise, who are now'deprived of their journal, were
to vote for him he would be returned by an enor-
110e. majority. The Belgian paper also says that
very high influence has been used with the Emperor
to obtain, if note reversal, at least • mitigation of
the sentence against the P , and that the
period of its suspension may perhaps be
reduced from two mouths to one, in which ease
it might re-appear at the beginning of January—
when the subscription, are usually renewed. The
influence alluded to is evidently that of the Prince
Napoleon, who has long been connected with the
P . Yon may remember my having stated that
it was in consequence of his interference with the
management of the journal that M. Nefftser re-
signed the poet of rjrlacteur en chef. I doubt very
much, however, whether the Emperor would now
choose to interfere with M. Militia's decree, how-
ever he may privately regret that it should have
been issued. Meanwhile, a circular has been Mined,
bearing the signature of M. Rony, responsible editor
of the Prete*, announcing the suspension of that
journal for two months, and stating that the sub-
seribers will be allowed at a later period the two'
months which they are now deprived of.
The Spectator and Saturday Review were seized
retied', be some irreverent remarks upon Count
de Morny's speech to the Corps Legislatif.
The Rent* was to-day quoted ex dividend. The
market was tolerably steady at the opening, but
there wee not much business doing. It is not sup-
posed that the Bank of England will follow the
ample of the Bank of France and redoes the rate
