The contemplated railroad between Paris and

Purchases of land are proceeding, and the tele-
graphic line is rapidly approaching completion.

The village of Gruissans (Carcassone) has been
completely inundated by the sea, which has swept
away the road through the lake, and has thrown
the whole locality into a state of the most afflicting
desolation.

The Presse states that M. do Chantelauze, at
Whose residence the police paid a visit to examine
his papers, as already stated, is not the son but the
nephew of M. de Chantelauze, who was one of the
IC, nisters of Charles X. The Gazette de France
iforms us that on Sunday last the police visited
the residence of the Baron de Planhol, one of the
contributors to that journal, and examined his
Papers, but finding nothing objectionable, the dis-
cretionary warrant of arrest was not put in force.

fire and blood. Does the author of the Lettres
Franques believe that he can efface facts with
words ? Does he believe that in now declaiming
against the treaties of 1815, he can cause the peo-
ple and France to forget, by his tardly indignation,'
that the march of the Bourbons on Paris was con-
ducted by the Cossacks ? Does he believe that in
reading his cold-blooded imprecations against Eng-
land, which he devotes to the infernal gods, it will
I not be remembered that Louis XVIII. was the pro-
tege of the Duke of Wellington, and that even
amidst the sorro or of the country, stained by an in-
vasion, all the partisans of the Restoration feted the
foreigners, whom they trea:;ed as allies, not as ene-
mies? Does he believe in short that by his excitations
to war, he will succeed in wiping out the misfor-
tune which Louis XVIII. had of only seeing France
again under the protection of the arinies of the coa-
lition • which, after having conquered, despoiled
and dismembered her ? Is it not a strange and cha-
racteristic thing at this moment that all these exci-
tations came from the camp of those who blessed

Waterloo, and the invasion as a deliverance ? How
is it that it is the Legitimists who now vociferate
against the same England in which they saw in 1815
a liberatrix ? How is it that it is in that party
that the most extraordinary violences of language,
the expressions of the most extravagant hatred aro
heard ? and how is it that in its name the author of
the Lettres Franques makes it a crime in the Em-
peror not to disturb the peace of Europe by effecting
a descent on the coasts of Great Britain ? What
does he mean, then, with the crusade of extermi-
nation which he preaches against the English, by
employing the language of the hero of a melodrama
who declaims against the traitor of the piece ? The
secret object of all these excitations is not difficult
to penetrate. All the false ardour, all the affected
passion which are vented in bitter words against
the treaties of 1815, are only the mask of a narrow
and odious party calculation. The party has seen
all the chances of a revolution die away in the in-
terior ; all the hopes of a coalition fade away
abroad ; it has in vain counted on the demagogues
at home, on the foreigners abroad ; and in despair
it takes up the idea of a European war, as the last
branch to cling to. It remembers 1815—it flatters
itself that the same conflicts would be crowned
with the same results ; and it now excites to war
as two years ago it excited to anarchy, in the hope
of picking up a crown in the shame of an invasion,
as it no longer counts on getting it in the blood of
a revolution. These tactics are perhaps as able as
they are perfidious ; but it will at all events be
admitted that they are neither loyal nor patriotic.
Assuredly it is not worth while to declaim against
the treaties of 1815, and against the treasons of
England, when the declaimers traitorously excite
their country to throw itself into the hazards and
adventures of a war without a cause and without
an object, but with the hope of exciting a third in-
vasion, which, it is expected, would lead to a third
restoration.

The Moniteur announces that M. de Royer is
appointed Procureur-G-eneral of the Court of Cas-
eation of Paris, in place of M. Troplong, appointed
First President ; and that M. Roulaud is appointed
Procureur-General of the Imperial Court, in place
of M. de Royer.
It appears that the Marquis de la Rochejacqu-
lein has commenced legal proceedings against the
Nation, a Republican paper puplished aeßrussels,
for libel. The damages are laid at 50,000 f., and
the Marquis, moreover, requires that the sentence,
should the verdict be for the plaintiff, shall be in-
serted in 10 Paris papers, and in three of Brussels,
to be selected by him.
The Emancipation Beige states that of 700
French refugees in Belgium, only 10 are amongst
the amnestied.

The improvement in the price of public securities
remarked at the Bourse on Thursday, made further
progress yesterday. The rise may bo attributed,
in great measure, to the favourable report of Count
d'Argout, the Governor of the Bank of France,
published yesterday. The Three per Cents. opened
at 79f. 40c., and closed at 79f. 70c. for the end of
the month. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents.

The Madrid journals of the Gth give the final
result of the elections for Madrid. All the Minis-
terial candidates were returned by large majorities.
In the provinces also, the Ministerial candidates,
at the date of the latest accounts, were in most
places much higher on the poll than those of the
Opposition. It was supposed in Madrid that the
Ministry will have a majority of at least two-thirds
in the new Chamber. The Nacion and the Diario
Espanol were seized again on the sth.
