PARIS CORRESPONDENOB

DiONDIT.
Rumours of dissensions in the new Cabinet are formally
and emphatically denied by the Jcurnai. de Paris, the
Constitutionn(l, and the Soir. The first declares tl.st
neither upon commercial questions nor uponetbe prose-
cution of M. Rochefort has there been any difference.
The Constitutionnel is still more positive, with respect to
perfect union existing among the Ministers. The Soir
admits that it is very possible that the several members of

the Government held somewhat different views on
the delicate questions of the prosecution, and the
Treaty of Commerce, but the Cabinet was forced to
make a collective resolution on these matters, and it was
taken by the whole of the members, none of them having
c,mternplated separating himself from his colleagues.
By one o'clock to-day a large crowd had assembled in
the neighbourhood of the Palais Bourbon, and on the
bridge of la Concorde. The crush was so great that a
strong body of str.ccnts de title were obliged to exert them-
selves to maintain a thoroughfare. In all directions are
heard complaints from those who had been disappointed
at not obtaining tickets to be present at the sittings of
the Chamber. The arrival of M. Rochefort was eagerly
looked for in the entrance hall of the Chamber of Depu
ties, but he had already entered by another door. lie
held long cenversations with the deputies of the Left

Goitre.
The provision of the penal code under which applica-
tion is made for permission to prosecute M. Eochefort
declares that an attack upon the Emperor or his family
shall be punished by imprisonment of from two to five
years and a fine of from £2O to ..-C-100.
M. de Girardin find himself awkwardly placed be-
tween his friendship for M. 011ivier and his po-
litical theories. He stands firm to the latter

however, and the first leader in the Liberte of to-day
bears the ominous title, "Tine faute sans excuse." Such
a fault, says M. Odysse-Barot, the writer of the
article, was committed by the English Government in
the case of 'Wilkes, which gave rise to a ten years' struggle
between the Throne and the Parliament. May not the
French Government be committing the same error in the
prosecution of Rochefort, who has at his back 200,000
men? The liberty of the press is another question which
is daily debated in the same journal. The writers argue,
with good reason, that the most powerful weapons
to employ against the excesses of the revolutionary press
are liberty and contempt. Our Government is not yet
wise enough to have learned this lesson, and Albert Bar-
bieux, the manager of the Rappel, has been summoned to
appear before the Seventh Chamber on Wednesday next on
the charge of having published an illustration without the
permission of the Minister of the Interior. The picture thus
alluded to was no other than the portrait of Victor
Noir.

The Patric, refers to the impression which has been pro.
duced in the provinces by the violent tone adopted
by the Paris journals of the extreme section. The
general sentiment has been that of indignation, and there
has been a pretty general desire expressed that the irre-
concilables of Paris should not impose their laws
on the rest of France. Among the provincial
papers which support these views may be mentioned the
Journal d' Alencon, which is of some local importance, and
expresses liberal sentiments. It says that it would be
ridiculous to suppose that the whole country should be at
the dictation of one city, and that the departments should
combine to impose a check on Paris when the spirit of
faction becomes too menacing in that quarter.
The Indipendance Beige affirms that the High Court of
Justice is a condemned institution, and that it will not
survive the trial of Prince Pierre Bonaparte. The reason
why recourse was had to its jurisdiction on the present
occasion was that it was the most convenient plan to
adopt in the emergency. The authorities do not seem in
a hurry to proceed with the affair. The important wit-
nesses, especially M. 'Ulric Fonvielle, have not yet been
confronted with the accused.
The Public has said that the preliminary examination
in the Bonaparte affair will be finished by the end of the
mouth, and that the High Court of Justice will be oon-
yoked during the first fortnight of February. It will hold
its sittings at Versailles.
The Revell is most vindictive in its attacks on the Prince
and in a recent number it compares him to the Duke of
Prasliu. The peer of France, it says, escaped the scaffold
by committing suicide, and it is right that the Bonaparte
should be clothed in the galley-slaves' dress; the wretched
culprit should forthwith be'sent to the galleys.
M. Louis Noir, brother of the murdered man, has written
the following letter to M. Ulric Fonvielle :
"My dear Friend,—ln face of all the calumnies and
insinuations of which you are the victim, I feel I ought
to thank you publicly for your conduct, at once courageous
and calm. You might have riddled the assassin of my brother
with bullets, and by that means have assuredly saved your
own life—the coward would have recoiled from a combat.
But you preferred to remain exposed to his blows, for you
knew well that the smallest ball fired by you would have
rendered it impossible to prove the trap into which
you had fallen. Once more, thanks to my dear friend,
whatever may happen, it is you who have saved the memory
of my poor brother, and have secured our vengeance. I
embrace you fraternally. " Louis Nom.
" Neuilly, 15th January, 1870."
Several journals publish a letter from Dr. Pinel, who
was summoned to attend to Victor Noir at the moment
of his death, and, a little later, to Prince Pierre.
He says that he has put forward five hypotheses
to explain the wound of Prince Pierre, but the conclusions
drawn from them are not his. He is _very indignant with
the doctors of the Court for not having communicated
with him prior to the autopsy. Dr. Pinel affirms that he
has hoard that Victor Noir was buried with his gloves on,
and asks if this be true, as if so he shall demand a prompt
exhumation.
The debates have lately been full of interest in both
Houses. Prince Napoleon has been exercising his elo-
quence in another quarter, and has supported the Govern-
ment on the question of the new press law in the Council
of State in one of his most brilliant extempore speeches,
calling forth loud applause from the members present.
The Minister of the Interior, M. Chevandier de Val-
, demo, is carefully examining the titles of the prefects
and sub-prefects, and has politely requested all those
functionaries who are now in Paris to betake themselves
' to their posts. Tho 12th of January has furnished the
Minister, who wishes for time to consider the matter, with

a convenient excuse.
Yesterday evening M. Bancel had invited his friends to
meet him at a conference at the Polies Bergere, and an
immense crowd assembled on the occasion. Loud cries of .
"Vine Rochefort," were heard long before the doors were
opened. The orator took "Duty" for the subject of discus-
sion, and contended that one of the chief duties of
man was to respect his own dignity. He then referred to
the sympathy which the assembly had manifested for one
of their absent colleagues, Rochefort, and said that it proved
their appreciation of the political meaning of duty for the
democracy.
Troppman's spirits have failed him since he learned the
decision in the Court of Cassation, and he seems to be
grcatly terrified at the thought of death. His appetite is
gone, and his sleep is broken. In fact, his firmness has
entirely disappeared. He has sent in an application to
the Emperor for a commutation of punishment.

Mr. W. Kirk, M.P. for Newry, is seriously ill.
A liquidator to the Dagenham Dock Company was

Mr. J. M. Bellow requests the kr-4, to contradict
the statement that he intends to go ce the stage. He
says " I have as much idea of going on the stage as I have
of taking a journey to the moon."
The governors and officers employed in her Ma-
jesty's convict establishments have subscribed to present a
testimonial to Lieutenant-Colonel Henderson, on his retiring
from the service to which they belong.

The magistrates of the West Biding of Yorkshire
met in private on Saturday for the purpose, it is under-
stood, of taking means to put a stop to the threatened dis-
turbances at the Thorneliffe and Chapoltown Collieries.
Some workmen who were digging on Saturday in
a field near Frederick-street•, in the high part of South

full-grown person. Nothing has yet been learned as to the
interment.

Intelligence has been received of the total loss of
*ho steamer Fairwater, which left Penarth on the 7th
laden with coal, for Cork. The ill-fated vessel is said to
have been run down at sea. Happily the whole of tbo crow
were saved.

Meetings of Volunteers in different parts of the
country are being held to oppose Mr. Cardwell's volunteer
scheme. At a meeting of Scotch volunteer officers at Edin-
lturgh, on Friday afternoon, the new arrangements were
discussed, and a committee was appointed to consider
the points submitted by the War-office, and to report to
another meeting. On Saturday there was also a large meet-
ing of the commanding officers of the Staffordshire Volun-
teer Rifle Corps, at which the Earl of Lichfield presided.
There was a long discussion on the proposed changes given
in the circular of the National Rifle Asoociation, and resolu-
tions were passed strongly opposing the whole of tlle
