PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
General Cavaignae is now officially announced in
the Simi., as also M. Emile 011ivter and M. Dari-
mon, as candidates of the Opposition in the third,
fourth, and seventh districts of Paris for the second
elections, which will he held on Sunday and Monday
next. The Goverment nominees are the same as
before—MM. Thibaut, Varin, and Lanquetier. It
was doubted for some time whether General Ca-
vaignac would again come forward, and whether he
would not remain contented with the relative ad-
vantage ho obtained at the first trial. I believe he
hesitated to the last, and even now, though his
name is before the public formally, it is perhaps
more out of deference to his friends than to any
very ardent desire on his part. As to the result
nothing can be affirmed. His friends seem
to think that the chances are decidedly in his
favour, and that many who abstained the last time,
either from indifference or apprehension, will take
courage from the example of their neighbours, and
now record their votes. 7 hey calculate a good deal
on the tendency of people to side with one who has
already won, and who, though not obtaining the ab-
solute authority required by law, had, at any rate,
some hundreds more than his competitor. Though
six deputies—three for Paris, and the others for the
departments of the Maine-e.t Loire, Mayenne, and
the Somme—have to be elected on the sth and 6th,
the attention of the public is exclusively directed
to Paris, as in the provinces the struggle reerely
lies between persons who profess to be supporters
of the Government, and who, doubtless, will also
be candidates for its favour.

The following despatches have been received :

Marshal Vaillant, the Minister of War, has just
received from the Governor-General of Algeria a
report from General de Montauban, c9mmanding
the division of Oran, giving an account of the
operations accomplished during part of the month
of June by the light columns which had been
charged to repress the incursions of the hostile

wandering tribes of the south-west.
The Gazette de France attacks M. Thiers with
violence and with injustice in its leading article
of this day. It accuses him of having planned
the " electoral fusion " between the Debats and
the Siecle—which, so far as the candidates of the
former are concerned, has failed—" with the ob-
ject," it says, " of making the world believe that
Orleanism was the necessary and accepted form
of the notions or liberty which are not realized
under the present regime." It describes the
plan of' M. Thiers as odious in a moral point of
view, though admirable as a work of art. "To
make the unfortunate princes enter into that hope
of fusion with the revolution ; to induce them to
write letters in which all honourable aspirations,
All the regards due to their position, all sentimento
of family, and even all truth as to facts, are disre'
garded and violated ; to separate them thus foto

to the mirage of a coalition—all this shows great
skill in intrigue." I have reason to blieve
these charges against M. Thiers are entirely LW
founded. Whatever may be thought of the tea'
porary coalition between the &eels and the Debut"
whether it be for good or for bad, I think I can
safely affirm that M. Thiers had nothing to do Nviaci
it. Before the elections commenced I mentioned
the only facts which brought M. Thiers' name
brief connexion with them. That connexion di
not exceed further than the advice given to tb,6
sons of M. de Remusat in the absence of theft
father, to decline the advances of the coalition, and
that advice was given only when it was asked fo.ri
Further than this I am assured that M. Thiers
not interfere, and his interference was of quite 01:
opposite character to that stated by the Gazette or
France.
