CORRESPONDENCE Fl:Or►r PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS. WEDNESDAY, July 7.
We are all very much troubled to-day with a paragraph
in the Pays affirming that the Emperor has expressed
himself on the crisis in these terms :—" On the 19th
January I committed a great fault. By acting without
previous concert with the majority I caused it to
regard with suspicion my sentiments towards it.
All my efforts should tend to regain its confidence."
The Pays regards this as a very important announcement,
and perhaps it is, but it is perfectly impossible for anybody
except the Emperor himself to comprehend it. Ilia
Majesty clearly enough says that the reforms of January
19 were concerted without first consulting the majority;
but the majority, composed of M. Rouher and his host in
the Chamber, had undoubtedly a large share in the busi-
ness. For the fact is that the changes proposed by M.
Emile 011ivier were greatly modified by M. Rouher, so
that it was owing to the majority that the January
reforms were passed iu their final shape. M. 011ivier
would have increased them ; the majority lessened them.
But whether his Majesty regrets all reforms, or whether
he regrets that the initiative of the last reforms did
not come from the majority, it is impossible to tell.
There can be little doubt, however, that the sentences
published in the Pays are genuine. The Pays is, indeed,
the most mendacious of journals; but its editor is on inti-
mate terms with the Imperial family, and it is not, likely
that a fabrication 'in matters of this kind would be
attempted.
The interpellation of the Left Centre has now obtained
110 signatures. The new recruits are Imperialists,
the Left still holding back. The members of this latter
party have held a meeting in the Boulevard des Capucines,
and the unexpected number of forty deputies attended.
It was resolved to draw up no interpellation respecting
constitutional liberty, but to pitch into things in
general the conduct of the police at the late
riots, the affray with the soldiers in the coal region
of the Loire, &c. Nevertheless, nobody doubts that the
Left will vote for the famous interpellation, so that if 'the
matter be brought to a division the Government will have
the utmost difficulty in saving itself from, actual defeat.
The figures are simple enough. The Left may be mode-
rately set down at 30 ; the signatures are 110 ; total 110
—out of a House of 288 members. ,
A lively argument is going on respecting this interpella-
tion. The law of the Empire is that it is unconstitutional
to discuss the Constitution ; but here is a proposal to
make a radical change from personal Government
to Ministerial responsibility being signed, canvassed,
and enlarged upon in the press, and nobody takes any
notice. Beyond doubt the interpellation itself is a viola-
tion of the law. But then the strict letter of the law is
no longer regarded. In the Chamber the Constitution is
knocked about in debate almost every day, but neither
M. Rouher nor the President interferes.
This all-important movement on the part of the
Moderate Liberals is the engrossing topic of the day; but
some of the doings in the Corps Ldgislatif touching the
verification of the elections are well worth notice. At the
last sitting but one M. Pelletan called attention to the
partisanship of the clergy. It is well known that the
priests interfere in the elections, but I scarcely imagined
that they would go to such extremes as they have done
this year. One curd actually told his congregation
from the pulpit that if they voted for the official candi-
date they would go to heaven ; if they polled for the
Moderate Liberal purgatory would he their lot ; but if
they supported a Radical they would infallibly go
to Touching an election in the Dordogne, M. Beth•

moat noted that a distribution of public money had been

made to repair the injury done by some hailstorms. This was
all very well, but the hail fell in 1868, and the money was
given only eight days before the election of last May. M.

Bethmont remarked that gratitude does not always last
eight days, that those who had not been afflicted with hail

were in a rage with the Government, and voted against it,

and that it would have been better to have promised the
money and paid afterwards.
• At the usual State dinner, given by the Emperor to the
deputies who have been returned for the first time,

several members of the Opposition—some of them rather

Advanced—were present. But Itaspail and Bancel were
not, neither were Gambetta and Ferry, though these

;wo were at first set down for invitation.

was the Empress who procured their elimination.

Some awkward incidents, I am told, took place at the

dinner. All the deputies had to be presented by M.
Rouher ; but M. de K4ratry, who was contemptuously

spoken of in the Corps Legislatif bythe Minister of State,

and who wrote a book on Mexico by no means flattering
to that statesman, presented himself. Of all the candidates

M. Guyot•Montpayroux was most fiercely opposed by M,

Rouher. He, too, had to be presented.
The Khedive has arrived here again, and Mr. Oppen-
neim, the banker of Alexandria, has.given a fête in honour

of his Highness. It was particularly brilliant and

successful.

The Imperial Court has finally disposed of the long-
pending case respecting General de Pont's will. The

General, who inherited considerable property in
Gloucestershire through his English wife, made

a will leaving all . his possessions to a friend,
a Mrs. Irwin, to be dealt with according to his
wishes, which, he said, he bad fully explained to her. The
General's relatives contested this will, on the ground that
it was drawn up in the English form. But it has been
twice decided that the French law recognises wills drawn
up by French subjects abroad, if in accordance with the
law of the country in which they live. As the English
law does not require a will to be in the testator's own

handwriting, the objection that General de Pontd'; will

was not in his own hand fell to the ground.

A demonstration of the trades' unionists of Man-
chester took place on Tut sday, at which resolutions in sup-
port of the bill introduced by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Mun-
della to amend the laws relating to trades' unions wero
unanimously adoptcd.

The chief item of Political news from Paris is that

tie interpellation of the Moderato Liberals, praying for
Ministerial responsibility, has Leen signed by two of the
Emperor's relatives, Joachim and Murat, and the Duc do
Monchy, as well as by M. de Macken, the deputy to whom
the Emperor addressed his letter affirming that ho would
concede nothing under pressure.

The following is a copy of a telegram received at the
Admiralty on Wednesday :—" The Bermuda Dock was met
at noon on the Ist inst., in let. 39.0 N., long. 13.28 W., in tow
of the Agincourt and Northumberland, Terrible and Lap-
wing in company. Ilelicon left squadron for Madeira on the
29th ult. Captain May, senior officer in command of squa-
dron, expected to arrive at Porto Santo on the 4th inst. All
going well."
