OPENING OF 2HE HOLBORN VI4DUC7.

(THIS DAY.)

The Holborn Viaduct was opened for passenger
traffic this morning. Pedestrians bound to and
from the City were struck with the magnificence
of the structure, and the completed appearance
of the paveway. The road is being rapidly finished,
and will be very shortly ready for traffic. The
public are not so fortunate with regard to Black-
friars Bridge. It appears that the Underground
Railway (Metropolitan Extension) have commenced
their operations under the northern portion of
the bridge. This, with the sewerage works
going on, is likely to deiay the opening of the
bridge.

PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

The event of the elvvis the publication in the Journal
Officiel of this morning of 0, note, reminding the public
that, by the terms of the 13th article of the law of the 6th
of June, 1868, the prefect of police has the right of ad-
journing any public meeting which seems likely to disturb
the public order, and that the Government, in consequence of
recent disturbances at public meetings, has decided on
putting this law in force. As you may easily suppose, this
note has excited some commotion, and has not improved
the public feeling towards the ruling powers. The
Patrie, it is true, attempts to mitigate the effect, and
cautions the public not to attach undue importance to a
measure intended merely as a warning to disorderly
spirits not to provoke the Government to use its full
powers. There is no idea, it avers, of suspending the right
of public meeting. The Con stitutionnel also endeavours to
explain away the unfavouralle impression produced by the
note. Like the Patric', it believes the Government will not
exercise ti o right it claims to possess, excepting in regard to
rioters, li: e those of Belleville. " When madmen menace the
passers-by they arc confined until they are no longer
dangerous." Other journals are less easily satiifieel. The
Journal cies D ,bals regrets the announcement. Public liberty
is its ownbest safeguard,and the good sense of the peoplcwould
be a better preservative against the dangers of seditious
meetings than an arbitrary interference, which converts
demagogues into martyrs. Supposing the manifestation of
the 26th October, instead of being openly discussed long
before the time, had been matured in secret, and suddenly
burst upon the Government. Might not the result, asks
the Dalts, have been very different?
To give and to withhold at the same time, satirically
observes the Siecle, is now more than ever the charac-
teristic of the Liberals of the Second Empire. It believes
the note betrays the official hostility to all public meet-
ings, though it is unable to understand why free speech
is more dangerous than a free press. The Liberti considers
this discrepancy in the policy of the Government as a
fresh inconsequence, but observes that a few days since a
similar note addressed to the journals was in
contemplation. A hundred and twenty thousand
men, adds M. Odysse-Barot, met on Sunday
near Dublin, and at the same time 40,000 more
assembled in London, yet in spite of seditious language not
a single excess was committed, though no prefects appeared
to forbid the meetings. If instead of being merely on
sufferance the freedom of public meeting was a
right in France as in England, disorder° would,
in the opinion of this writer, be equally rare
in both countries, and he quotes the old illust:ation of the
dangers of compressed steam. It must be confessed that
all this harmonises very badly with an anecdote told by
the LiZert(' this morning. The last Ministerial Council
was a somewhat stormy one. The Emperor alone
remained calm, and expressed neither approbation nor
disapprobation of the measures proposed. At the close of
the meeting he said, smilingly, " We will resume this con-
versation at Compiegne, but we must all remember that
the Constitution which rules us to-day has been modified
by the Senatus-Consultum vote of the 2nd September."
Those words were much discussed at St. Cloud, and it is
gathered from them that the Emperor having entered the
path of parliamentary government intends to proceed in it
unhesitatingly. So runs the story, but, as I have said, the
official note furnishes astrange commentary upon it.
A rumour was afloat yesterday to the effect that the
Ministers intend to send in their resignations prior to the
26th October. The report that M. Rouher intends to
exchange the Presidency of the Senate for the direction of
a new Cabinet is still current.

The delegates of the electoral committees for Paris held
meeting yesterday to decide what course to take with
respect to the inaction of the Parisian deputies. It was
settled that a commission should wait on the Deputies of
the Seine and demand from them an immediate explana-
tion of the course they will pursue on the 26th of October.
The Independance Belge furnishes some frightful details
concerning the mortality at Cayenne. Edmund Dolcourt,
a political offender, has just returned from that country
after an imprisonment of eleven years. He was taken to
Cayenne with 530 comrades, all sentenced for political
crimes. Of these only twelve have returned ; all the others
have died of follow fever, or sought in suicide a refuge from
the miseries of their position.

General Fleury accompanied the Emperor to Compiegne.
ft appears that he takes the place of General Lepic, who is
ill. No doubt the Emperor is glad to avail himself of the
opportunity of further conversation with the new ambas-
sador prior to his departure.
The Imperial residence at Compiegne is very inconve-
nient to the Ministers when they have to pay two visits
there a week, and they make many complaints about it.
The trouble might be avoided by their remaining several
days at Compiegne, but their business in Paris is not likely
to allow of their absence for any length of time.
Tho Empress is not likely to prolong her journey, and the
Ladies in Waiting havebeen instructed to be in readiness to
resume their duties before the date fixed for the opening
of the session.
It is said that the Sultan, in order to do honour to the
Empress, the Emperor of Austria, and other distinguished
persons who have decided to go to Egypt, has resolved
to officiate in person at the opening of the Suez
Canal. In that case he will be accompanied by the Grand
Vizier and a numerous suite. The Crown Prince of Prussia,
on his return from the Suez Canal inauguration, will, it is
believed, pass through Paris, and pay a visit to the
Emperor.

Prince Charles of Roumania will stay at Compiegne
previous to quitting France. The Emperor has been much
struck with his general knowledge and his political intel-
ligence, and has shewn him many proofs of goodwill and
kindly foglinif•
