the chance of being anythingtt salutary. But who is
to be blamed for this? Is ite authorities which have
not prohibited the work? for they have acted on
their own responsibility, and ght to know far better
than we what they had to d Is it the press which
heralded in the work? No, fat has really done nothing
more than quote a few pages it, to hold them up to
public indignation. Is it ti nation, the buyers, the
renders of the pamphlet? Yt It is they who are the
real culprits, because it is thl who give to the work its
ielatetion. In a society, stag and sure of itself, such
a work would have been reived with silence, or, at
most, with a sort of conspalen which a greatly dis-
rdered mind inspires. It veld have gone to find, in
the dust of forgetfulness, theretched reveries of Cam-
ow.ella and so many others. But what can be said of a
country so blind and so wee so much the slave of its
deplorable curiosity, as to,ccord attention to a mad-
man!"
We read in a Paris letr, published by the Inde-
pendance of Brussels
:
A Fero days since U. heat) lloussaye, Director of
•he Comedie Frangaise, reived an application for a
tiek...t, in a note signed Irre Corneille. He imme-
diately went to the addressf the note, one of the most
•eretched streets in the Ci, and there found, in the
person of an ecrivain publ the sole and septuegena-
ian descendant of the greast dramatic poet of France.
The news of this fact w not long in reaching the
Prince President, who inediately ordered M. Pierre
Corneille an annual penm of 2,0001. from his privy
purse."
The Moniteur du Loil of the Bth says :
" The President of th Republic passed yesterday
through Orleans, on his vy to his property of Lamotte-
Beuvron. The Presiden left the Elys t 3 in an open
carriage, in coloured clot's, and without escort, accom-
eauied only by some of s aides-decamp, also in plain
clothes. He took his deeture from the Paris terminus
ey a special train at halpast four. He arrived at Or-
leans about Leven, but, !mine. aside close to the town
at the curve near the Pot de la Bourie, ho passed on to
the Viorzon line, and rived at Lamotte-Beuvron at
half-past seven. He w:return to Paris this evening or
to-morrow. This excuion of Louis Napoleon to his
property in the Sologi was made with such secrecy
chat none of the Pis journals have even men-
tioned it."
