We have received the Paris papers of Saturday
and yesterday.
The reactionary journals of Saturday publish a long
letter from M. GUIZOT to the electors of Calvados, on
the subject of the approaching elections. This letter,
in which he recommends reactionaries of all shades to
unite, is in fact neither more nor less than an abridg-
ment of his recently published pamphlet on demo-
cracy.
In the sittings of Friday and Saturday the follow-
ing gentlemen were elected Members of the Council
of State :—M. Edmond Adam, Dunoyer, Verninhac
Langer, Tournier, Chasseloup Laubat, Helie d'Or-
selle, and Laferrier.
M. ARMAND MARRAST was, on Saturday, re-elected
President of the Assembly for the ensuing month.
The numbers were—for N. ARMAND MARRAST 417,
for M. DUFAURE 49. The greater part of the sitting
of Saturday was occupied in listening to an expose of
the principles of Fourierism by M. VICTOR CON-
SIDERANT.

A duel took place on Friday between M. LEDRU
RoLum and M. DENJOY, the parti-pretre Deputy.
Having exchanged shots, the seconds interfered, and
prevented the affair from proceeding further.
The Aironiteur publishes the following :
" The Government has to-day received a telegraphic
dispatch, which left Turin on the 12th inst. and Lyons on
the 15th, announcing that the submission of Genoa was
complete."
The Patrie says :
According to our private letters, the negotiations
be'.we(ra Austria and Piedmont appear to be in the
right course, and everything leads to a presumption that
a definitive treaty of peace will be shortly signed; and
thus the congress which has been talked of will be ren-
dered unnecessary. The policy of Piedmont is entirely
changed, and the two Governments have courteously,
and with all assurances of friendship, declined the in-
tervention of France and England. The treaty of peace
will stipulate for an amnesty to the Lombards, and for
the right of all who desire it to become naturalised in
Piedmont." _ _

The Journal des Dthats has the following on the
recent visit of the English to Paris :--
" Several hundreds of English citizens have come to
return the visit which the National Guards paid them
some months back. It was formerly the sovereigns who
paid these international visits ; now that the sovereign
is called the people, it is the citizens who do so.
The Parisian population retains the best remembrance
of the reception given in England to its delegates,
and it is anxious, we aro sure, to testify at pre-
sent the same cordiality. These spontaneous and
pacific meetings of two great and free nations have
a great importance. From this mutual exchange
of toasts, shakes of the hand, and kind wishes, each
carries back with it reminiscences which keep
Hp the love of peace. A year back, at the
same period, we should have beheld with a certain
regret this visit of strangers, for Paris was all in dis-
turbance. We should have been sorry to show Paris
such as it was then. We would have been sorry to
show Paris as it then was, from the same feeling that no
one desires to receive visits in the midst of removing
one's furniture. At present order has been restored ;
circulation is re-established ; in fine, we are somewhat
more presentablo. The English who beheld one day last
week the stream of carriages in the Champs-Elyt6as,
and on the Boulevards, must have said that there is in
France a very powerful elasticity, since, after such cruel
trials, she has returned so quickly to all the ap-
pearances of health and security. We are delighted
to see Paris again, as in former times, a
centre of attraction. No place is so much the
city of every one as Paris ; its museums, its monuments,
its edifices, its churches, are open to all, and we have
no doubt the authorities have given every facility
to our visitors to see everything. We look for excellent
results from this system of pacific expeditions, and we
hope that they will in the end supply the place of the old
descents en the coast. The French who visited Eng-
land will have seen there, in the midst of great social
inequalities; the complete triumph of the principle of
liberty; the English who have come to Paris will, on
the contrary, perceive the principle of equality prevail-
ing above everything, often even at the expense of
liberty. Both may gain by studying each ether. What
must profit by such intercourse is the cause of peace.
['he French and the English may have different inte-
rests, which may sometimes even become hostile, but
they know that they have a great common interest—that
of liberty, of civilization, of humanity, and that such
interest can only be safe by their union."
We read in the Union:—

" An incident of a sufficiently- grave nature to necessi-
tate explanations on the part of the English Govern-
ment has just taken place in Ile de la Reunion (Bourbon).
A society of French creoles proposed to colonise Mada-
gascar, and already several thousands were engaged in
the enterprise. '1 he bay of Vouhemer, which is situated
at the north of the island, was the spot fixed upon for
the establishment of the colony. Our last accounts in-
form us that the execution of this project has met with
an unexpected obstacle. The Governor of the Mauritius
has opposed the departure of the French emigrants,
under what pretext we know not. We learn, however,
that the Commaiary-Genertl of the French Republic at
the Ile de la ItAanion has not resisted. The preparations
of the projected expedition have been suspended. and a
steamer has been sent off to I3ombay with dispatches for
the French Government, announcing the extraordinary
cenduct of the authorities of the Mauritius."

The Gazette des Tribanazd says—"We said
yesterday that M. EUGENE ItAsrAIL had been sum-
moned before M. BROUSSAIS, the examining magis-
trate. In consideration of the character with which
M. RASPAIL is invested, only a simple requisition for
his appearance was sent to him. As M. RASPAIL
did not comply with this, a warrant to bring him be-
fore the magistrate was issued. The Commissary of
Police and officers charged with the execution of the
warrant were unable to find M.
RASPAIL, who
had withdrawn himself from the pursuit of justice.
The concierge of his house declared that M. RASPAIL,
interrogated, interrogated, the examination was
isiothne that M. closed,

It is stated that this
affair will be called on before the tribunal on Thurs-
day next."
One of the journals publishes the following .
‘• The undersigned advisers of M. Point, considering
that M. Raspail is called before a court of justice, for
the assault he committed, that M. Point has not appealed
to the law for the satisfaction demanded by it, that he
had chosen for his seconds two of the undersigned be-
fore the Procureur- General, excited by the emotion in
the Chamber, had made his requisitions, are of opinion
that it is no ground, at present, for M. Raspail to de-
mand any personal satisfaction.

escorted by a strong squadron of

police officers -came

to the
the P
offieueplse:
of the Banque du Peuple to
put seals upon them. We cannot comprehend the
motive of this act of violence. D •
uring two days the
bank has openly reimbursed all the shares that were
presented. Citizen PROUDHON having besides ac-
knowledged himself to be personally responsible for
all reimbursements, it is impossible for us to explain
such a measure. We shall keep our readers acquainted
with the consequences of this infamous machinations
of Faucher and Co."
A letter from Toulouse states that M. RATAZZI,
ex-Minister of Piedmont, passed through the town
on the Bth. He was accompanied by MM. MAN.
TERIO, ROSSELINI, and CORNERO, members of the
Chamber of Deputies. These gentlemen are charged
to present an address from the Chamber to CHARLES
ALBERT, and to intimate that a statue has been voted
to him.
