FRANCE.
THE ALLEGED PLOT IN PARIS.

The Journal Official of last evening contains the
following article :—" The system of the Revolu-
tionary party is known. It consists in attacking
every act of the Government. If that party attempts
a disturbance, it is the police that has provoked it.
If it organises a conspiracy, it is the Government
that has invented it. A man has been arrested at the
moment he was seeking an opportunity to assassinate
the Emperor ; he avows his criminal intention.
Newspapers of a certain character persist, none the
less, in denying the fact of the attempt. Boinbs are
found. It is the police which has fabricated them.
But the person who cast them comes forward and
gives precise information respecting them. Will
that convince the incredulous ? No, because they
are wilfully incredulous. It is the duty of the
Government to put the public on its guard against
electioneering manoeuvres. A legal investigation
is being actively carried on, and as this new attempt
is but a sequel to the conspiracy of February last,
the preliminary inquiry into which has been com-
pleted, the public mind will speedily be furnished
with all the materials for arriving at a sound con-
clusion.

PARIS, May 4.
The Constitutionnel of this morning states that at
Angers and at Bourbonne in the Department of the
Haute Marne, and in some localities in the Depart-
ment of the Haut Rhin, the meetings against the
Plebiscite were stopped by the people, shouting
" Long live the Emperor," " Down with a Republic."
At Marseilles, on Tuesday evening, the proclama-
tion of the Committee of the Republican Socialist
party to the troops relative to their vote at the Ple-
biscite was seized. Several members of the committee
have been arrested, and ethers have been subjected
to domiciliary visits.

FLORENCE, May 3.

In to-day's sitting of the Private Committee of
the Chamber of Deputies Signor Sanza (? Lanza)
spoke in favour of the clause referring to the appoint-
ment of mayors by the Communal Council. He
said that this would free the Government from many
an embarrassment, since it would separate political
interests from those of the. Administration. The
Government held a sufficient guarantee in its power
to suspend or dismiss the Mayors.
The House adopted the clause as proposed by the
Government by a large majority.
Signor Sella laid before the House a scheme for
completing the railway communications in Calabria
and Sicily, and Count Visconti-Venosta presented
the report of the Italian Envoy at Athens on the
capture and murder of Count Maurice Boyl. It
appears from these papers that the Foreign-office
had urged its representative to spare no possible
means to obtain the release of the prisoners. Count
Venosta also laid before the House a report received
from the Italian Legation at Buenos Ayres, referring to
the murder of the Italian Consul at Assumption, and
stating that the murderer had not yet been dis--
covered.

The Opinione of to-day says :—" In conformity
with the provisions of the Calabrian Railway scheme,
presented to the Chamber of Deputies this diy, a
sum of 10 millions of lire will be inserted in the
Budget for 1870, and 20 millions in each of the four
following Budgets, to cover the cost of construction
of the lines which art to be completed in 1874.
The Public Treasury would be authorised to pro-
vide the necessary funds by selling Consolidated
Rente."

The Opinione adds :—" This plan seems to have
been adopted in the expectation that a concession of
these lines might hereafter be granted to a sonnd
private company, which would relieve the state of
the undertaking."
