PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

FAIDAT.

A singular expedient, if we are to believe the Public,
is to bo resorted to in order to get out of the difficulties
attending the double parliamentary session. On the 29th
of November, immediately after the Emperor's Speech and
the declaration of the opening of the session, will be read a
decree closing the extraordinary session of 1869. The
Siecle, in alluding to this report, contemptuously observes
that the question is not ono of words and phrases, it deals
with realities.

Commerce suffers, failures are multiplying ; the
winter is at hand, and the public are thoroughly dis-
satisfied. A sample of this discontent has just been given
in the address to lIM. Esquires and Gambetta, signed
by four hundred electors, who consider the manifesto
of the Left weak and insufficient. The electors hold that
" the existence of universal suffrage, and the responsibility
of the head of the State, override the Constitution and the
Empire, and must not be infringed." They wish to see
the responsibility recognised in theory by the Constitution
rendered effective and permanent,' and consequently they
demand that the first act of their representatives on the
opening of the Chambers shall be the impeachment of the
head of the State.

An imperial manifesto is still looked for, though it is
difficult to say what gives rive to the impression.
Some curiosity has been excited by the letter which the
Marquis d'Andelarre has addressed to the Journal de la
Haute Saone. He expresses his disapproval of the course
which the Government is pursuing, in the most emphatic
manner, and declares that he is justified in putting no
faith in those statesmen, who shew that they have no faith
in the country, and who are preparing to vindicate before
the Chamber those actions which incensed the people at
the time of the last elections.
The Patrie believes that the electors of the four circum-
scriptions of the Seine vacant by the choice of MM.Bancel,
Gambetta, Picard, and Simon, will be convoked on the
21st of November to select the successors of those gentle--
men. The Government, as you will readily perceive, need
not look for any accession to the ranks of its adherents in
this quarter.
The liberty of the press is still being discussed in our
journals. The Government have shown unusual wisdom
in refraining from any acts of repression, and consequently
public opinion has openly ranged itself on the side of order
and authority. The Patrie and the tonstitutionnel have
faithfully maintained the rights and privileges of their
order, and boldly assert that to sanction the liberty of the
press is the best way of destroying its licence.
The leading Liberal journals, the Liberti, the Temps, the
Journal des DAats, the Sieele, the Journal de Paris, have
all assumed the same tone, and while openly opposing the
Government, have done so with becoming reticence and
courtesy. The Revell, the Rappel, and the Reforme
have pursued a very different course, while,
strange to say, the Pays, the most courtly of
journals has been one of the most conspicuous offenders in
its attacks on Prince Napoleon. The Patrie, in a long
article this morning, reminds these vehement scribes that
in England and America, which enjoy complete liberty of
the press, no personal attacks are ever made upon Queen
Victoria or President Grant. Public opinion, it believes,
will eventually regulate the extremes of the Parisian
press, as it has done with the English and American.
According to the Journal de Paris, the Emperor is
delighted at the manner in which the 26th passed off, and
has expressed his unqualified satisfaction. This seems to
prove that there was genuine cause for alarm in the
highest circles. It is also affirmed that the Emperor has
declared his intention to remain in statu quo with regard
to men and actions until after the 29th of November.
M. Simon and M. Gambetta seem likely to meet with
tie a ,sistance of Government in their inquiries at St.
Aubin. They are to be favoured with the perusal of all
the documents that are calculated to throw light on the
subject.
The Syndical Chamber of the Drapers' Assistants has
sent a letter to the Liberti, in reply to the communication
of the masters. It is couched in strong terms, and the
Liberte very properly declines to take part with either of
the disputants, but adds that this angry correspondence
injures the interests of both sides.
M. de Banneville, the French Ambassador at the Holy
See, left yesterday for Rome. He is the bearer of
special instructions in connection with the CEcumenici
Council. The Memorial Diplonzatique states that these
instructions are animated by the same spirit as that which
actuated the circular of the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne
last September, and explains that the Imperial Govern-
ment cannot fail to take a deep interest in the delibera-
tions of the Council, although it will not be represented
at the assembly.

Mr. William Day has purchased from Lord Stamford a
two year old colt by Caractacus, and three yearlings by
Citadel, in a lot, but the price did not transpire.
Mr. Charles Bevill has boon elected a member of the
committee of the Subscription Room, Newmarket, in the
place of Mr. Padwick, who retires by rotation.
THE WELTER CUP AT KELSO.-31r. Johnstone's Cawdor
should not have been included among the starters for this
race, as reported in our paper of Saturday last. The horse
was weighed for, but did not get to the post in time.
It is currently reported that Mr. Pt yor intends to sell off
et his horses in training. The horses were to have gone
into Wadlow's stable, but there is no room for thorn at
Stanton.
