CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CNRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, FRIDAY, May 21.

Before this is in print the great contest will have
commenced throughout France. The Government has
apparently used the five days of silence to the best advan-
tage. The efforts of the officials, aided by the Govern-
ment papers, to propagate statements and comments
Infavourable to the Opposition have been incessant.
As I mentioned before, these propaganda have been
by no means of an impartial character. Indeed,
there is no doubt that the zeal of the Emperor's subordi-
❑ates has led them into a great deal of hard swearing
which, to put it mildly, cannot be substantiated by fact.
Amongst the newspailers the Patric is the most notorious
offender, It persists in assuring the electors of France
that a vast conspiracy, embracing all the Reds of the
country and the political exiles, was planned for last week,
and that the disorders in Paris were intended to be the
signal for the first outbreak. These affirmations have
been denied in several quarters, but the Petrie repeats
them. It has received its orders, and its only business
is to obey. It does not mind being convicted of saying
what is not precisely the truth, provided that it can
frighten the electors. Therefore, though the report
of a projected revolution is utterly without foun-
dation, the Petrie continues to spread it. The facts
speak for themselves. One hundred and thirty-
two persons have been retained in prison. Of these, more
than half are street boys, gamins under 20 years of age,
aiul of the rest, twenty-three have been in prison before.
There remain hut forty-seven persons, therefore,
against whom the charge of attempting to
overthrow the Imperial Government could be
raised with the slightest chance of proof. Thou-
sands of persons took part in the disturbances of
Wednesday and Thursday week. There were 20,000
in front of the Cirque Napoleon alone, and yet the all-
powerful police of Paris can implicate no more than
forty-seven who are not boys or old offenders.
Though the elections in Paris are suppesed to be pre-
determined against the Government, nowhere in France
will the contest be more interesting. Moderate Radicals
are opposed to uncompromising Democrats, and the ques-
tion to be decided will be whether Paris is disposed to effect
a compromise with the Emperor on the "Liberty without
Revolution" principle, or whether it is yet, as before,
irreconcileably hostile to Imperial rule. In the first
circumscription, Carnot, the deputy in the last Chamber,
is opposed by Gambetta, the rising Republican lawyer;
in the second, Thiers, the moderate Liberal, is
contested by D'Alton Shee, the uncompromising Radical,
and Devinck, the chocolate maker, official candidate.
In the third, Emily 011ivier, once a Republican, but now
an advocate of " Liberty under the Empire," is opposed
by Bence], the uncompromising Republican ; in the
fourth, Ernest Picard is practically unopposed ; in the fifth,
Gamier-Pages, the Liberal who, last represented the
division, is placed in sore jeopardy by "Respell the
Red;" in the sixth, M. Gueroult is menaced by Jules
Ferry ; in the seventh, the Republican Jules Fevre is
opposed by the still more Republican Rochefort ; and in the
eighth and ninth, Jules Simon and Eugene Pelletan are
virtually unopposed. In nearly every circumscription
a Government candidate has been brought forward, but in
scarcely one has the official supporter the slightest chance.
They have kept back until the last moment, and
with reason. None of them are men of mark; one can
neither read nor write ! You will soon learn whether
Paris, which represents all the intelligence of France, will
be content with moderate reforms under the Empire, or
will pronounce for revolution. The question is one of
great importance.
Senor Gonzales Bravo, one of Isabella's last supporters,
is now in Paris. The Count de Cheste and General
Colonge have come with him. This influx of Isabellists
is regarded with as much curiosity as anything of foreign
news is during this election time. One paper says that
the Count de Cheste has had an interview with the
Emperor. Another states that a coup d'aut at
Madrid is contemplated. The Emperor, it says'
is alarmed at the prospects in Spain. Either
a Regency or Montpensier is inevitable—for a
telegram just announces that the Cortes has voted
the monarchy—and either of these alternatives is distaste.
ful to the occupants of the Tuileries. An attempt will,
therefore, be made to place the young Archduke Louis of
Austria on the Spanish throne. But other journals
deny this. It has been repeatedly affirmed that the
French Government will not interpose in Spanish affairs ;
and, moreover, it is not thought probable by some good
authorities that the Archduke would accept the throne,
especially from the French Emperor. We all know that
a crown In Mexico was bestowed by the Emperor on an
Austrian prince, and we all know, too, what came of it.
A telegraphic despatch from St. Etienne states that an
explosion of fire-damp took place last night in the coal-
pits of Monterrad. Fifteen perm s are raid to have
perished.
The Figaro tells a particularly neat story of "klepto-
mania," a malady which has set in with exceptional
severity in this city. Madame X—, an elegantly-
dressed lady, entered a fashionable shop, the other day,
and requested to see some Valenciennes lace, but after
some time, not finding any to suit her, withdrew without
making any purchase. She had, however, been
observed by one of the shopmen to slip a piece of the
goods under her shawl. Nevertheless, she returned home,
as it were, unnoticed, but on reaching the door of her
house, was accosted by a messenger, who handed her a
small parcel, and a letter which was thus worded :
" Madarne,—l am afraid that the fifteen yards of lace
which you selected in my shop will not be sufficient
to trim your dress ; I therefore take the liberty of
sending you a second piece of the same pattern. I beg to
be informed whether you accept it." The signature was
that of the master of the establishment. The lady was
very glad to avoid unpleasant consequences by promptly
paying for the whole.
