PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.

THURSDAY.

The Constitutional reforms continue to be the chief
political topic of the day, and speculation is rife concern-
ing them. The LiberU thinks it would be vain to hope
that the parliamentary regime in France will be the
same as in England or in Belgium. Still it has
confidence that the pledges of the Imperial Message via
be faithfully fulfilled. It was rumoured yesterday in
official circles that the task of framing the decree has
proved an arduous one, and that the presence of M.
Rouher at the Ministerial deliberations was a drawback.
The Ministers are evidently apprehensive of the influence
of the ex-Minister with the Emperor, and they are natu•
rally considerably embarrassed by the presence among
them of a statesman who has always opposed the
reforms which they are discussing. The Presse states that
it was never contemplated by the Ministers to reserve
to the Senate the right of regulating amendments
and questions, and that the new Chamber will under
these heads have the full privileges of the elective assem-
blies of the Constitutional Monarchy and of the Republic.
The supposed liberal intentions of the Government have
occasioned great alarm among some timorous senators who
presented themselves yesterday at-St. Cloud to express their
apprehensions to the Emperor, whose intentions were
probably not much affected thereby. It is reported that
among the forthcoming changes will be the admission of
military officers in active service to the Corps Legislatif.
The Figaro publishes an outline of the proposed con-
sessions, which must, however, be received with reserve.
The principal items of this list are the parliamentary
responsibility of the Ministry as a whole, independently of
the personal responsibility of individual Ministers ; the
election of the Corps L6gislatif of its own president, vice
presidente, and secretaries; and the removal of the present
disqualification of Ministers, military and naval officers
of high rank, members of the Court of Cessation, and
legal dignitaries for the office of Deputy. The Temps
remarks that a Liberal fever appears to have seized
a portion of the Senate, and that even M. Charles Dupin
himself has regained the fervour of his youth.
Manifestoes are the order of the day. M. Barth6lern,
Saint Hilaire has favoured the electors of Seine et-Oise
with six columns of print. It is time, he says, to close
the era of revolutions, and the present is one of those
happy occasions when reforms can be effected which pre-
vent catastrophes. M. Gambetta has issued an
address to the electors of the first circumscription of the
department of the Seine, in which he chews little satis-
faction at the concessions of the Emperor. Elected by two
places at once, he chose Marseilles, he tells them, in the
interest of Democratic principles, since Marseilles, no less
than Paris, is the capital of the French democracy. M.
Gambetta expresses great regret at his own
untimely illness, which prevented him from taking
an active part in those proceedings in the
Chamber in which he took so deep an interest;
hut he looked confidently for vigorous and united action
on the part of the members of the Left, whose duty it was
to sbew the country their real grievances, to strip the
mask and denounce the tactics of those in power,to appeal
to the press, and to assume an attitude worthy
of Radical France. He is grievously disappointed
at the inaction of the Left, who declare that they are
powerless to produce a united protest. This is attributed
by M. Gambetta to the want of organisation in the party,
and be asserts that to avoid a similar collapse in the
future it is necessary to organise a party exclusively
composed of men of the same principles. The Left mtut
reunite the whole strength of the party out of doors as
well as in the Chamber, including all prominent Radicals
in letters, arts, science, in the press, and in commercial
and industrial pursuits, by which means public opinion
will be influenced, and France taught to govern herself.
M. Gamier Pages, presents a very brief address to his
electors, in which, like the other Democrats, he expresses
his disgust at the abrupt prorogation of the Chambers,
repeats his profession of Democratic principles, and pro-
tests against the abuse of personal power, declaring that
the nation has the sole right to form its own Constitution.

A singular story is current respecting the title of the
Prince de la Tour d'Anvergne, who has just been ap-
pointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is said that he has
no right to his title, the use of which bad been interdicted
to him and his family. However, this statement is con-
tradicted, and legal details given in the Droit, so that we
may hope the Prince will escape the threatened Incon-
venience.

A duel came off at Chantilly on Tuesday between Mr.
Reginald Russell and M. de la Poeze, It was settled that
the contest should continue until one of the men was
disabled. Small swords were chosen, and the combat
commenced on the word " alley " being given. M.
de Poeze was immediately wounded hut continued
fighting, nor did a second wound induce him to desist.
Mr. Russell, finding himself hardly pressed, made a
successful lunge, and wounded the Frenchman in the
chest. The affair was ended by the fall of M. de la Poeze.
Ile is not in danger, although he has been slightly touched
in one of the lungs. The heroine of the quarrel has gone
to Germany.

Count d'Haussonville is about to publish the fourth
volume of his " History of the Roman Church and the
First Empire." It contains many curious and hitherto
unpublished documents, which will throw light on the
relations of Pius VII. and Napoleon I.
The silk-dressers of Lyons, who had struck for a diminu-
tion of the hours of labour, have resumed work, having
come to terms with their masters.
Vclocipedists will not be complimented to learn that
they are to be subjected to a tax. of £2 as Ismail two.

The young man whom I mentioned the other day as
attacking a barrister who offended him,has been sentenced
to two months' imprisonment, the bench being uninfluenced
by his tears and professions of regret.
A singular accident occurred at Buenos Ayres
o❑ the 21th of Mny at the fete given in commemoration
of the anniversary of the declaration of freedom. An
aeronaut nd'med M. Ilaraille made an ascent in a balloon
from the centre of the Plaza. It remained stationary
over the city for some time, there being no wind, and on
descending fell into the harbour. A number of boats and a
steamer put off to the rescue of the aeronaut, who was
drowning in his car. By some misfortune, the balloon, in
rolling about, came in contact with the funnel of the steamer,
and, the gas getting ignited, exploded with terrible
force, blowing the crew overboard, as also those in the
boats. The steamer was set on fire and sustained much
damage. Eight persons were fatally injured, and twenty-
five were much burned and injured.
