PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

WEDNESDAY.

Now that the great electoral question is settled for the
time being, the political world is again beginning to busy
itself with the anticipated modifications of the Cabinet
M. 011ivier's proceedings aro as great a mystery as ever. '
lam told that he has actually seen the Emperor, and that •
Napoleon has expressed his approval of the motives which
induced M. 011ivier to decline a portfolio of State under
existing circumstances. Up to this interview the negotia-
tions had only been carried on by the intervention of
Prince Napoleon and others. However, if the Emperor
was inaccessible to M. 011ivier, the deputy of Var was not
less inaccessible to his friends, and I understand that M.
Emile de Girardin was really seriously offended by his
friend's determined concealment in the capital. M. do
Girardin, who could obtain no information at M.ollivier's
dwelling-place, only learned by chance that the hero of the
new Cabinet was really in Paris, and he was so much irri-
tated that he would not insert M. 011ivier's letter
to M. Pouyer-Quertier in the Libert,', a determination
which the candidate had the less reason to regret, as the
injudicious epistle is said to have seriously injured his
chances of success. M. 011ivier took great pains to per-
suade the Emperor, who looks with no great favour on
M. Buffet, to allow him to offer that gentleman a
portfolio, but lo ! when he had succeeded and made his
offer, the only reward ho obtained for his services was a
very bitter letter of refusal from M. Buffet.
A paper war is going on between two notabilities--
the Bishop of Orleans and M. Veuillot, the
editor of l'Univers. The editor carefully avoided
any direct attack upon the Bishop, but Monseigneur
Dupanloup is not one to shrink from the fray, and accord-
ly he has addressed an avertissement to M. Veuillot, which
he has communicated to his clergy and published in the
Ga:ette de France. Monseigneur Dupanloup denounces
the course pursued by the editor of l'Univers with un-
sparing severity. He accuses him of insulting and putting
under the ban of Catholicism everyone who differs from
him, and of not even permitting them to preserve silence
unmolested. He has accused and calumniated his brethren,
has intruded constantly into the most grave and delicate
affairs, and has endeavoured to render the Church the
accomplice of his violence, by audaciously putting for-
ward his own personal notions as her doctrine.
The Correspondance Bullier publishes a very striking

passage from a private letter written by M.Ledru Rollin, for
the authenticity of which, however, I cannot vouch. In this
letter M. Rollin says that some persons consider
that he has acted with good sons© in withdrawing his

candidature, others that he shewed weakness. He
will not discuss the point, but is willing to let his corres-
pondent know the real reason of his conduct. Before the
visit of young Rochefort he hesitated, but after his visit that
hesitation entirely vanished. "I wish," adds M. Rollin, "for
liberty, but not at any price. I wish for it clothed in white
not in purple. I leave that colour to emperors. I foresee
that with such men as Rochefort we shall find ourselves
involved in civil war. We may admit that blood wt.,
necessary in '93, but to shed it to-day would be odious and

useless."
The Empress is expected to return by Sunday, and she
will most probably be present at the opening of the
Chambers.
The health of Prince Gortschakoff is said to be better
than Was at-, first reported. The Prince suffers from the
gout, but it does not affect his head or his feet, and he is
able to keep up a correspondence with many of his friends

is Paris.
It was at first intended that Count Bismarck should
sceomi any the Crown Prince of Prussia on his expedition
to the East, in the same manner that Count Beust has
attended the Emperor Francis Joseph, but the bad under-
standing which has so long prevailed between the Prince
snd the Minister rendered the accomplishment of the
scheme impracticable.
The Court of Assizes of the Seine has just pronounced
itldg,ment in the poisoning case of the young woman by her
husband and mother-in-law. The widow Husson was con:
demned to, hard labour for life, and her eon to twenty
years of the same punishment. Both the accused-declared
that they wcro innocent, but the judge ordered their
