PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

taken place during their sojourn en province. the Senate
having the right to propose, discuss, and effect such a

change without paying Messieurs les DtSputds the coml.;
ment of asking their opinion.

The amendment of M. Brenier contained nothing to re-
gret. Itproposed that the PI esideut of the Corps L4gislatif
should be elected for six years by the members subject to
the approval of the Emperor. The most noticeable thing

about this amendment was the speech which it drew from
M. Magne, whose frank and liberal address called forth
loud tokens of approval. It was the wish of those who
projected the reforms, he said, that the Corps Ltislatif
should be absolutely its own master, and the Govern-
ment would not give with one hand and withhold with
the other. Another of the Ministers, M. Chasse'yap-
Laubat, said • that it was impossible to retrace
their steps. The stream whose course they were
following had no ebb tide. M. Chasseloup Laubat
spoke forcibly, however, against M. Boujean's amend-
ment. To-day we are to have a debate on a very interest-
ing question—the right of re-establishing the address.
The Patric cannot contain its indignation against —.
Chevalier for his eloquent and impressive illustration of the
success of parliamentary government in England. " Who
will deliver us from the Greeks and Romans?" asked the
romantic school years ago. The Pattie transposes the

question into, "Who will deliver us from the example of
England?" and it laments that the chronic Anglornania
of M. Michel Chevalier should have brought the eternal
illustration again into the debate.

A letter from Ledru-Rollin is published in the Revell,
which contains a very grave charge against the Govern-
ment. M. Rollin asserts that so soon as the amnesty was
signed, orders to arrest him were transmitted to the
several ports. Ile was to be detained until his
pretended acccomplices were brought back from
Cayenne to Confront him. It would, he says, have cost
him dear to have accepted the Imperial justice, but he
would not have hesitated to do so had nothing but an
ordinary detention been in question. But a voyage to
Cayenne and back is an affair of months, and the prospect
of an indefinite incarceration between four walls did not
tempt him. He is anxious that this wide divergence
between official theory and practice should be generally
known, in order that his countrymen may not believe that
he has the right but not the will to re-enter Franco. This
letter will, no doubt, create a very general sensation.
The Emperor does not progress so fast as one could do.
sire, and the Empress is said tohave been much distressed
at his condition when she returned. The Emperor had
attended to meet the travellers on their arrival, but had
found it quite impossible to attempt it. The fatigue and
excitement of Friday evening wen too much for him as it

was, and on Saturday he was nut so well again. In con-
sequence of this slight drawback to his recovery,
the most sinister reports are again set afloat, and
a feeling of distrust prevails. The Empress appears
also to be indisposed. She sprained her foot in

stepping into a boat, and is suffering from over fatigue
and anxiety. The Emperor is said to have taken the
greatest interest in the details of the visit to Corsica, and
to have expressed his satisfaction at the loyalty which

was everywhere exhibited. The enforced seclusion of the
Emperor has given rise to general regrets, and it is hoped
that he will shortly be able to resume the direction of

affairs. The greatest confidence as to his condition is dia
played by those who are in attendance on him, and Dr,

Nglaton declares that there is no immediate dagger.

A contradiction has been given to the report that the
four great military appointments will be suppressed, and
it is now said that those of Paris and Lyons will be re-

aill ed.

The Countess of Flanders, who draws beautifully, is at
present engaged on a novel undertaking. She proposes
to etch a series of sketches on the chief scenes in Maistre's
"Journey Round my Room." Many princesses have
been artists, but the Countess is the first grand lady who
has devoted herself to the task of etching.

market, the Anglesey Tavern, and also a watch, the pro-
perty of E West, b..rmaid to Mr. ltruinfitt.

property, which she had given to him to get ropaired had
also been taken, and the police wore then communicated

WESTMINSTER.

STRANGE CONDUCT OF A PAUPER..—SamueI Tripp, an
old man maintained in Chelsea Workhouse, was charged
with being disorderly there.

lieorgealandford, the porter, said that defendant, who
had been maintained in the house for the last three years
had leave to go cut on Saturday, and on his return at a
little after eight in the evening he became very abusive,
sailing witness a rogue, thief, and vagabond. He also
shook his stick in complainant's face.

Mr. Arnold—Was he sober ?
Witness—Perfectly, I believe.
Mr. Arnold—What was his reason for this.

Witness—.l have not the least notion.

Defendant said he could not account for tho unpleasantry,
but when he came in the complainant stopped him and
told him to nand on one side. He certainly spoke au angry
word or two, and was sorry now. If ho shook his stick
he meant no menace, and ho had been looked up since
Saturday.

Mr. Arnold said he would let him go ou his promise to
behave better for the future.

THAMES.
DESERTION OF A WIFE AND FAMILY.-Mr. B. J. Abbott,
solicitor ou the part of Mrs. Alston, of No. 26, Stepney-
green, applied to Mr. Benson for a protection order to save
her goods and chattels from her husband, Henry Douglas
Alston, to whom she was married at Barking, in Essex, on
June 25, 1837, and who abandoned her family seven years
ago. She had not seen him since.
Mr. Abbott said Mrs. Alston had acquired somo pro-
perty she wished to protect.
Mr. Benson—How many children are there?
Mrs. Alston—Four, sir.
Mr. Benson—Did your husband leavo you owing to any
misconduct on your part?
Mrs. Alston—l never behaved improperly. I was a
good and faithful wife to him.
Mr. Abbott—The fact is, her husband left home and
family with another woman, with whom he has been since
living.

Mr. Benson—Take your order, Mr. Abbott, and let it be
registered in the County Court of the district.
ROBBERY OF A DIAMOND RING.—Peter Miller, a baker,
was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a
diamond ring, the property of his master, residing at
Poplar.

The complainant said the prisoner came to him without
a character three weeks ago, and his wages were to be 10s.
per week and half board. On Sunday week, the 2:lth of
August, a diamond ring was missing. Ho questioned the
prisoner, who said he knew nothing about it. On Satur-
day last he told the prisoner he would forgive him
if he would toll the truth about the ring, and ho confessed
ho had pawned it. A pawnbroker's assistant produced
the ring, and said the prisoner pawned it for 10s.
Mr. Benson said he could not convict on the evidence
of the prosecutor, who had held out a promise to the pri-
soner, but on the evidence of the pawnbrokers' assistant
he should sentence the prisoner to two month's imprison..
mont and hard labour.

SUNDAY.
The amendments proposed by M. Bonjean, by Count
do Sar*efit. and by M. Brenier have, as you will have
already learned, gone the way of all the other amend-
ments. The first of these, however desirable in itself,
was too far in advance of the time to be likely to pass the
Senate, even though it was powerfully supported by its
projector himself, by Prince Napoleon, and by M.
Chevalier. The Senate is by no means sufficiently
impressed with the necessity for constitutional reforms to
be willing to share, its constituent power, that is to say,
the power of introducing changes in the constitution with
the Lower Chambers. It follows that one of these days
the members of the Corps Legislatif will reassemble after
the recess to find some extraordinary transformation has
