The Constitutionnel extracts from the Morning
Chronicle part of a letter from Paris in which the
writer declared that the recent reduction of the
French army was a mere fiction ; that by the new
contingent this reduction was more than made up ;
and that the effective force of the French army was
never greater than it is now. After giving this
extract, and remarking on the error of the writer,
the Constitutionnel says :
" Unless these tactics be ascribed to the desire to keep
Mr. Cobden and his adversaries occupied, we cannot un-
derstand the mania which certain English journals have
to cry war, in the midst of a profound peace. Why do
they not -show more regard for the sensibility pf their
readers, who have had so long the nightmare of al French
invasion, and who a thousand times have awakened in a
fright, dreaming that London was taken by a battalion
of chasseurs of Vincennes ? Whence comes it that they
persist in alarming credit, in disquieting commerce, in
tormenting public opinion with phantoms ? Whilst the
correspondent of the Morning Chronicle gravel sends
these ridiculous stories to his journal, the French Go-
vernment replies to him by convoking at Paris, or the
spring of 1855, the manufactures of the whole world, in
order to celebrate the fête of universal peace."
The same journal extracts from the Morning
Advertiser a long Paris letter, stating that the
superior of a nunnery in Paris having become
Protestant, and induced seven of her nuns also
to embrace the Protestant creed, they had been
menaced with persecution if they persisted in their
new faith. Four of the nuns, says the letter did
persist and were sent away to a distance of? 100
leagues from Paris, and the superior having Written
to them to encourage them in their conversion, and
promising to aid them, she was thrown into prison.
The writer of this letter asserts that he knows all
this to be true, and has seen letters connected with
the affair bearing a post mark ; on which the Con-
stitutionnel, which turns the statement into ridicule,
asks why the correspondent of the Advertiser, if
he has letters bearing post marks, to indicate twhere
these victims of persecution are, does not at once
enable the legal authorities to do them justice.
The Constitutionnel says
" We wish the English correspondent success in his
researches, and if he attains any result we will assist
him with our publicity as we now do, provided he points
out facts a little more precisely, which it will be easy
for him to do. In fact, if he has had in his hands letters
bearing the stamp of the post-office, those letterr must
have had addresses, and a clue would thus be given."
The Pays says it will pity the readers of the
Advertiser, if they are credulous enough to believe
this story. •
The Journal des Debats says :—" The Legislative
Body will soon have several bills brought before it
relative to ways of communication either by water
or land. The bill for farming out the canals will
be shortly presented. As to the railways, that
from Besancon to Mulhausen is in particular men-
tioned, that line being the last fragment of the net-
work of 1842, and being the means of connecting
the Rhine with the Mediterranean. Several com-
panies have been formed to tender for this line,
the basis of their combination being the division
into several parts of this great line. We cannot
believe that the Government will consent to such
a system. The Strasburg to Basle Company solicits
this new line as its natural extension in the direc-
tion of the Mediterranean : it would then constitute,
on a direct extent of 350 kilometres (2181 English
miles), a transversal line between the Lyon and
Strasburg lines. The Government by this combi-
nation would avoid the division of the line at the
point of Mulhausen and would remain faithful to
its system of great lines and few boards of direc-
tors."
The funeral of Madame Raspail took plac4 yes-
terday. The political friends of M. Raspail availed
themselves of the opportunity to make a demon-
stration, and about four thousand of them accom-
panied the procession to Pere la Chaise.
Although politics are unusually calm at present
in Paris, it would appear that the partisans of the
house of Bourbon are not altogether idle. For
some days past letters have been in circulation in
some of the Legitimist salons, addressed by the
Count de Chambord to some of his adherents in
France. One of them is addressed to the Duke de
Rovigo, who was recently thrown into prison under
pretence that he was in correspondence with foreign
newspapers, and is principally remarkable for the
fact that the head of the house of Bourbon ad-
dresses M. de Rvvigo as mon cousin. This affec-
tionate style in a letter to one who derives his
dukedom from the Empire (the Duke de Rovigo
being the son of the celebrated Savary), is taken as
a proof that the Count de Chambord, if restored
to his rights, would make no difference between
the ancient and modern nobility. Another letter
speaks in the most delicate and flattering terms
of the notabilities of the Orleanist party, who
have of late, tinder the name of Fusionists, given
in their adhesion to the elder branch of the House
of Bourbon, and more especially of MM. Mole,
Beugnot, de Salvandy, Vitet, Guizot, Villemain,
Keratry, drc. In another letter, the Comte de
Chambord, in allusion to a reproach which had
been addressed to him, that he wished to impose
humiliating conditions on the Prince of Orleans, •
says :—" It has always been as far from my ideas
as from the feelings of my heart to impose the
slightest humiliation on princes whose honour is
dear to me, because they will be called upon, if
they wish to understand their own duty and their
own interest, to surround and defend the throne."
Active preparations have already commenced for
the coronation. The royal carriages, and more
especially the carriage used at the coronation of
Charles X., have been brought into Paris from
Versailles, and are at the present moment under-
going the necessary painting and alterations for the
occasion. The state carriage of Charles X., Which
for magnificence is a wonder of its kind, is to be

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
"157,17 eve Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850,
" Sir,—ln scquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my bands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be apprdclated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time prouring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entircely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
toms of the dis-
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symp
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the li
reef I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered. but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
