the chance of being anything but salutary. But who is
to be blamed for this? Is it the authorities which have
not probi'oited the work? No, for they have acted on
their own reLponsibility, an'_' ought to know far Letter
ttan wa whet they bad to do. Is it the press which
bertd(led in the work? No, for it has really done nothiop;
more than quote a few pages of it, to hold them up to
public L it the nation, the buyers, the
readers of the pamphlet? Yes. It is they who are the
real culprits, because it is they who give to the work its
reputation. In a society, strong and sure of itself, such
a work 'rook! have been received wi:h :Heuer., or, at
mot,t, with aeort of compassion which a veaWly dis-
ordered minti mspires. It would have cone to ill-A, in
the dust of forgetfulress, the wretched reveries of Cam-
panella and so many othere. But what can be said of a
county so blind and so weak, so much the :lave of its
depiorabk3 curiosity, as to accord attention to a mad-
man!"

We read in a Lens letter, published by the Inde-
penchnce of Brussels :
" A few days since M. Areene Iloussaye, Director of
the Comedic Fran!aise, received an application for a
ticket, in a note signed Pierre Corneille?. He imme-
diately went to the address of the note, one of the most
7.retched streets in the Cite, and there found, in the
person cf an ecricam public, the sole and septuogena-
i ian descendant of ihe greatest dramatic poet of France.
The news of this fact was not long in reaching the
Prince President, who immediately ordered M. Pierre
Corneille an annual pension of 2,000 f. from his privy
pure."
The Moniteur du Loiret of the Bth says:—
" The President of the Republic passed yesterday
through Orleans, en his way to his property of Lamotte-
Beuvron. The iresident left the Elyse, in an open
carriage, in coloured clothes, and without escort, accom-
puled only by acme of his aides-de-camp, also in plain
clothes. He tools his departure from the Paris terminus
by a special train at half-past four. He arrived at Or-
leans about seven, but, turning aside close to the town
at the curve near the Pont de la Bourie, he passed on to
the Vierzon line, and arrived at Lamottc-Beuvron at
half-past seven. He will return to Paris this evening or
tomorrow. This excursion of Louis Napoleon to his
property in the Soloene was made with such secrecy
that none of the Paris journals have even men-
tioned it."

The municipal council of Toulouse has just voted
a credit of 50,000 f. for the fetes in honour of the in-
tended visit of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Re-
public.
