PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

FRIDAY.

The Ministerial list has not yet made its appearance in
the Journal (Vide,. The Journal des Debats is inclined to
rejoice at this, since there is still room to hope that M.
Olivier will succeed in inducing some of the leaders
of the Left Centre to accept his offers. The
general belief is that the movements of the new
Minister were a good deal hampered by the conditions im-
posed by the Emperor. The Patric stoutly denies this,
and declares that the Emperor will accept, without objec-
tion, the Ministerial list submitted to him. M. 011ivier is
to have the whole responsibility of the choice, the parlia-
mantary n'yinie requiring that the head of the Cabinet
should have entiro freedom. The Constitutionnel is
sanguine as to M. 011ivier's prospects, and declares that he
has the sincere concurrence of the sovereign in his
efforts. There is no denying, however, that there
is great difficulty in forming the new Cabinet,
and that after the new Minister and his sincere friend
at the Tuileries have agreed upon their future coadjiitors,
it is very doubtful whether those whose assistance is in-
vited will comply with the request. Portfolios are going
begging, and although M. 011ivier is styled by his supporters
in the press "incontestably the chief of the majority" his
position is somewhat perplexing.

Tro;)pmann's trial, as you know, concluded yesterday.
The crowd in the court was something extraordinary, the
very reporters had scarcely room to trace their words. M.
Lachaud had from the first a hopeless task. He en-
ieavoured to convince the court that the prisoner
had accomplices, or, failing this, that Troppmann's
career and conduct was so extraordinary that he could not
be judged by ordinary rules, and must be insane. He
began by remarking on the peculiarities which he had
shewn from boyhood, and dwelt especially on the love
which he bore his mother. "You have said," added
M. Lachaud, "that he shed no tears, but you did
not speak to him of his mother." To the general surprise,
Troppmann, whose composed demeanour the most shock-
ing revelations of the trial had been powerless to move,
shed tears and sobbed. His emotion failed, how-
ever, to produce a corresponding effect on the
audience, who were even heard to murmur,
" What an actor !" After this episode, Troppmann
drooped his head and was no longer visible over the bar, a
fact which occasioned great disappointment to the prying
eyes which watched his every movement. M. Lachaud
urged that so great a criminal could not be sane, and
reminded his audience that in England regi-
cides had been classed among the criminal
lunatics on the same principle. The advocate,
in speaking of Troppmann's story of the accom-
plices, said that the prisoner had been willing to confide
their names to him but that he would not hear them, not
wishing for such a burden. M. Lachaud's eloquent plead-
ing produced some effect on the court, but the Procureur-
General answered him very briefly. " Troppmann," he said,
"had kept his word that ho would astonish the world,but
there was one thing that would astonish it yet more—that
the punishment was not proportioned to the crime." When
the jury retired, the excitement grew greater and greater.
The prisoner preserved his outward coolness. One of the
g-ndarmes who guarded him having said to his neighbour
hat he was quite ready for his supper, Troppmann in-
terposed. "I know," he sail, "that I shall be con-
' demned, but that will not prevent me from eating my
s ipper with a good appetite." When he heard the verdict
and the sentence he made a slight movement, and in
leaving the court. muttered to himself, "Oh, I knew it
w 11!" He remained silent till he reached Lis cell,
and spewed some emotion when his clothes were changed
for the prisoner's dress. To-day he has been moved to
the condemned cells at La Roquette. Three days are
allowed during which he may appeal against his sentence.
M. Lachaud is the hero of many anecdotes. The
Gaulois cites one, which it declares to be authentic. The
celebrated advocate was conducting a case in the provinces
In defence of a desperate character, who was accused of
murder, but against whom there was no substantial
proof. M. Lachaud performed his task so well that his
client was acquitted. When the verdict had been given,
and the crowd was retiring, the prisoner advanced
towards his counsel and held out his hand. "No !"
exclaimed M. Lachaud, " I have been able to fulfil my
duty conscientiously, but I can never shake hands with
you."

The Liberte contradicts the report of the Emperor's
failing health, and declares that he is getting on very well.
It admits, however, that the recent sharp weather Ins
somewhat tried him, and that he has experienced iu
minor degree the rheumatic affections from which he
has suffered so much.
