PMUS CORRESPONDENCE.

MONDAY.

The conclusion of the labours of the Senate, which is
confidently looked for to-day, deprives us of the excite-
ment of the debate, and leaves a vacuum in political
circles. Prince Napoleon, I learn, was present at
to-day's sitting. His absence from the Senate
since his speech has been noticed in several
quarters, and has been attributed to the express
wish of the Emperor, who is said to have requested his
cousin to let his Liberalism go no further. Whatever the
reason, it is certain that the Prince took no part in the
exciting discussions that ensued, and only re-appeared in
the Senate to vote for M. Bonjean's amendment, which
ho has always advocated.
The Senate having closed its session, the next thing to
be looked for is the meeting of the Corps Ldgislatif, for
which the public is manifesting some impatience. It is
rumoured in political circles that the question
is to be settled a'; the next meeting of the
Privy Council, at which the Empress will
be present. As you may suppose, MM. Magne, De la
Tour d'Auvergne, and Chasseloup Laubat, are the Minis-
ters believed to be favourable to a speedy convocation
of the Chamber. The real wishes and sentiments
of the Ministers are constantly discussed, and
form the theme of endless conjectures. Many
of them, it is said, dissent altogether from the
Principles of the work they are publicly supporting. The
story is told that nn eminent senator, who has since
appended his official signature to the Senatus-Consultum,
declared, when it was first talked of, that, in signing
it, the Emperor would sign his own passport.
The fact that such anecdotes, whether true or false, gain
credence proves that the Cabinet has not succeeded in
convincing the Parisians of the sincerity of their Consti-
tutional Liberalism.
As soon as the senators have evacuated the palace of
the Luxembourg M. Constant Duteax, the architect of
the Senate, will take possession of it, in order to
superintend the re-erection of the galleries. Of these
there are to be eight; those of the Emperor, the Grand
Referendary, the Corps Diplomatique, the Council of
State, the deputies, the public, and the Press. The
arrangements for the latter are, I am told, to be -"most
liberal." Nevertheless, the whole of the eight galleries will
supply only 200 seats.
The Conseil-General of the Seine-et-Oise has furnished a
notable exception to the apathy and indifference of most
of the provincial assemblies. Instead of finding a week
almost too long for its labours, as did most of its fellows,

it has prolonged its session for a fortnight, the maximum
time allowed by the decree, and will break up only to-day.
Its members have also, with one exception, passed a
resolution in favour of the extension of municipal liberty,
expressing a hope that the Government will submit to
the Corps L6gislatif such measures as satisfy the
legitimate aspirations of the public, while they preserve
social order.

Notwithstanding that the accounts of the health of the
Emperor are favourable, the Bourse has again been
affected by evil reports. These are strongly contradicted.
The Patric declares that the Emperor is able to transact
business to a great extent, and that since Saturday ho
has given more than three hundred signatures. When
BT. Duvergier, the Keeper of the Seals, arrived at St.
Cloud with the decree for closing the extraordinary
session of the Senate, he found the Emperor walking in
the Park. The Figaro affirms that the Emperor and the
Empress would have driven through Paris yesterday in an
open carriage bad the weather been favourable, and
that they will do so at the earliest opportunity. That the
condition of the Emperor is not altogether satisfactory
may be inferred from the fact that the visit to Chttlons
bas been abandoned, in spite of all that was said about it
in official quarters. The Empress's journey to the East
is very uncertain, and in all probability we shall soon hear
that the project has been given up.
It has been rumoured that the Minister of War con-
templates the suppression of the Imperial Guard. The
Patrie declares that the statement is most incorrect ; the
question will be brought before the Corps IZgislatif and
subjected to discussion, but the Minister has taken no
steps in the matter.
It is said that Prince Metternich will shortly leave
the Austrian Embassy, but he has declared his intention
of taking a house in Paris, and passing every winter
there.
I hear that a movement is on foot at Ostend for the
purpose of opening an international rifle meeting there
next year. The English volunteers, the 'Drench National
uards, and the riflemen of all nations would be invited.
The Duke d'Aumale is said to be engaged on a work
that will treat of the new order of things in France. The
Count of Paris is continuing the series of works he began
some time ago in his book of working men's associations.
The Prince is now studying the serious subject of insur-
ranee in all its branches.

PRINCE ARTHUR AT

'I lie Nova SeAians are • giving Prince .Arthur a very

loyal reception. An immtnse crowd assembled in the
Halifax dockyard to Fee him land, and he was received
with salvoes of artiEery. The COVernor-Gencral. Lien-
:enant-Governor, the corporation authorities, and French
Ind English naval officers, were present:. The Recorder
)t* the city read a loyal address, am? a suitable answer was
7eturned by the Prince, who was simply dressed, and is
considered by the Canadians to have pleasing, unassuming
tnanners. A procession of militia, firemen, and various
societies was formed to conduct the Prince to the

Government House. The city was illuminated in the

tveding.

THE CAPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, Sept. G.

The Union Company's steamer Roman, from the
Cape on the 4th August, with GI paisengers, 55
sacks of mails, and a cargo, including 1,400 bags
of copper ore and 1,300 bales of wool, has arrived
here. Her dates are—St. llelena, August 13th ;
Ascension, 16th ; and Madeira, 31st. Heavy north-
west gales prevailed off the Cape, and a large
number of vessels were damaged. The Dutch
barque Nereus, from Saigon, for Falmouth, put
into simon's Bay, with spars and bulwarks lost,
and bad thrown 700 bags of rice overboard.
The North German barque Teutonia, from Ran-
goon for Bremen, put into Algoa Bay in a
very leaky condition ; a large portion of her
cargo of rice had been thrown overboard,
and the rest was much damaged. The barque
Meg Nerrilies, from Mauritius, with -sugar,
for Cork, put into Algoa Bay, also in a leaky state,
and was placed under quarantine, having Mauri-
tius fever on board. Several more vessels were off
the coast in a disabled condition, making for ports.
Long-continuel rains, very favourable to the
crops, had fallen in the Western district and along
the coast; but parts of the Eastern province were
still suffering from severe drought.
The Tatin gold fields were reported to prove
satisfactory to Sir John Swinbourne, who was about
to return to England to develop his company. The
diamond discoveries continued. The Griquas were
successfully searching their streams for gems. Sir
Walter Currie had driven the Korhannes, who lost
heavily in killed and wounded, out of their island
strongholds in Orange River.
The Cape Parliament had refused to pass the
proposed income tax, and asked the Governor for
a scheme of further retrenchment to equalise the
expenditure with the income. Governor iVodehouse,
in reply, proposed to reduce the two existing Houses
of Parliament to one Legislative Chamber; the
members of Parliament to fifteen, twslve elective
for five years ; to abolish fourteen fiscal divisions ;
to reduce salaries in governmental departments by
£7,000, and withdraw i.4',000 annual grants to
agricultural societies, libraries, MU3ell[ll; and bo-
tanical gardens.
A warrant had been issued against Dr. Twells,
Bishop of Orange Free State, charged with com-
mitting au undiscussable offence. I'hc bishop was
absent on a visitation tour to the Transvaal, and
his friends asked the public to suspend their judg-
ment until the case had been heard. His chaplain,
who has been closely associated with his daily life
for years, speaks with the utmost confidence of the
bishop's perfect innocence.
The Northam arrived out on July 27. The

barque Selim, of Lei:h, bad been burnt, and the
crew were were landed at St. Helena by the Dutch
barque Nederland. The ship General Wyndham,
of London, had foundered, and the crew were
landed at St. Helena by the ship St. James.
Her Majesty's troopship Orontes, with the 99th
Regiment on board, bound from the Cape for Eng-
land, had her screw disabled just after leaving St.
Helena, and is coming home under sail. She left
the women and children at Ascension, scarlatina
having broken out among the latter.
