PARIS CORRESPONDENCE

'FRIDAY.

The Patric is virtuously indignant with those journals
which have announced that the Government, being appre-
hensive of serious outbreaks on the 26th, has taken exten-
sive precautions for their repression. It declares such
rumours to be wholly without foundation; the public peace
is not likely to be disturbed, and if any attempt at riot
should be made, the ordinary means of preserving order
weuld be sufficient to repress it. However this may be, it
is evident that the Ministry is condemned beforehand
by the Chambers, and so general has this conviction become
that it is reported that the Cabinet, on its return
from Compiegne, will not be quite the same as at
present. M. Rouher has accompanied the party to Com-
piegne, which has been not inaptly termed "la retrace
des Ministres." M. Ilouher's return to office would be
undoubtedly regarded as a provocation to the people.
It has been tho subject of remark that the People Fran-
cais has attacked the celebrated Note on public meetings
pretty strongly. As this journal is believed to be directly
Inspired from high quarters, the inference is that tho
Ministerial manifesto was not acceptable at Compiegne.
The Emperor, according to a suburban journal, is greatly
improved in health, and no longer suffers from his recent
illness. Ho has observed to his attendants that he always
profited by his sojourns at Compiegne, and expressed his
hope that this year ho should find it equally beneficial.
The Left has definitely begun its meetings. Every
evening the members present in Paris assemble at M. Jules
Simon's, but nothing has yet been definitely decided upon,
though there is an idea of issuing a manifesto to the citi-
zens of Paris, as I have previously told you. The terms
of this document are not determined, owing to the absence
of several influential members of the party.
News from Algeria on the 12th, states that M.
Lestibondois, President of the General Council of Con-
stantine, has delivered an address in which he upheld a
policy of civilisation rather than of colonisation. He
quoted the words of the Emperor :—" The conquest of the
Arabs should be their redemption ; " and he declared his)
belief that as soon as the Arabs had the right to transfer
property, and emigrants to Algeria found there the same
institutions as in France, the country would be speedily
populated and civilised. , The three CoMmissioners of tho
Council have all expressed the same wish—that Algeria
should be consulted as to her future constitution.

Accounts from Aubin state that Count Palika left on
the morning of the 13th, having ordered the Commandant
of Rodez under arrest for not having arrived with his
troops. Two miners have resumed work in the mine.
Fresh arrests have taken place among them—a Parisian
workman and a tailor from Gua. 1.17 he workmen are signing
a petition for the retention of LI. Tassot. The troops,
according to a later account, are evacuating the district
but the chasseurs will remain a little longer.

A despatch which came to Paris yesterday evening from
Constantinople confirms the news that the Empress will
not return until the sth or Gth of December.

Prince Napoleon arrives this evening, in order to attend
tho funeral of M. Sainte-Beuve. It has even been thought
that he will be chief mourner. This circumstance is rather
significant, when ono remembers the peculiar directions
which have been given as to the conduct of the inter-
ment.

A good deal is said of the voyage of the Sultan to Egypt,
where he will preside at the inauguration of the Suez
Canal. It is now considered certain that he will undertake
the voyage, but it has net yet been officially announced,
because the Sultan awaited the arrival of the French
Empress, whom he wished to bo the first informed.

A successor has been appointed to Father Hyacinthe.
Strikes are all the fashion now, and the last news is that
a fresh strike has occurred at Mons in Belgium, where
1,200 miners have left their work. The Eclaireur, of St.
Etienne, states that the priests of St. -7"-,:no will
shortly put themselves on strike. There aro many causes
which combine to bring about this result, such as the
ingratitude of their people, and the dearness of provisions.
The great social talk of the day is a duel between Prince
Metternich and Count do Beaumont, but it is not
authenticated.

The judge who was to conduct the trial of Troppmana
nu faUos ill, and, therefore, the trial has been postponed.
Yestapday evening, at a public meeting at Belleville,
some questions relating to social communism were dis-
cussed. At the end of the sitting M. Gustave neurons
wished to read a letter sent to M. Rochefort, but the police
agent interfered and prevented it. The assembly dis-
persed in the greatest order. The same evening, at the
Boulevard do Clichy, a dispute arose between the Presi-
dent and one of the speakers. The commissary dispersed
the meeting in consequence of the disturbance that
ensued_ _ _
