P A EIS CORRESPONDENCE.

TUESDAY.

General disappointment is expressed at the speeches de-
livered at the opening of the Conseils Gdniraux yesterday.
Bo far as we yet know none of the presidents said anything
remarkable. M. Rowland, the President of the Council
of the Seine Inferieure, excused himself, on the ground of
his senatorship, from touching on politics; but M. Riche-
mond in the Indmet-Loire department, who is
no less a Senator than M. Rouland, spoke freely
on the topics of the day. Perhaps this dif-
ference of opinion as to the reticence required
of a Senator may be explained by the fact that
M. Rowland believed that his countrymen were over-
whelmed with liberal concessions some years since, while
M. Richemond represents the Moderate party in the Senate,
who hold that the Senatus-Consultuin of 1869 is the
natural development of the Emperor's former policy. 111.
Rouher did not preside at Puy-de-Dine, as he intends to
remain in Paris or at Cercey until after the report of the
Commission is deposited. AL do la Gucrronilre was
also detained in Paris by the labours of the Commission.
M. Caney St. Paul presided at La Haute-Vienne in his
absence, and called upon Lis colleagues to refrain from all
political votes and demonstrations, though he observed
that public opinion favoured the principles of decentralisa-
tion and administrative enfranchisement. I must not
omit to mention the speech of the War Minister at
Poitiers, though INT. de la Toufi d'Auvergne contented
himself with expressing his full satisfaction with the Con-
stitutional reforms, and his confidence in the liberal inten-
tions of the Emperor. The Constitutionna of this morning
boldly asks what reforms are necessary to enable the
Conseils Cc,n6raux to exercise the same influence over
affairs in the departments as the Corps I.6gislatif exercises
over those of the whole country. It calls upon the Govern-
ment, the press, and the deputies, to find an answer which
shall elevate the Conseils to something more than the regis-
trars of the reports prepared by the prefects. It has been
remarked that at the late elections of members of the pro-
vincial councils the Government observed a complete
neutrality. This, at all events, is a step in the right
direction. _

The meeting of the Senate Commission yesterday, to
discuss M. Devienne's amended report, was full of inte-
rest. The 11th Article was again the stumbling-
block. The representatives of the Government, and also,
I suspect, M. Ronher, insisted that the felations between
the Emperor and the great bodies of the State should be
regulated by an Imperial decree. You will remember
that the amendment resolved upon by the majority of the
Commission transferred the authority from a decree to a
Senatus-Consultum. As this amendment opens the way for
the restoration of the right of address, it is doubly important.
I understand that four members of the Commission, in-
cluding of course MM. de Maupas and De la Guerroniere,
strongly urged that the right of address should be expressly
included in the Senatus-Con3ultum itself, but the seven
others thought that the right of interpellation rendered
this superfluous. It was finally decided that the question
should be adjourned till the next meeting, rendered neces-
sary by the alteration in Article 11, for I am happy to
say the Liberals held their ground, and on a division of the
Commission a large majority upheld the substitution of the
Senatus-Consultum for the Imperial decree. The most
important amendment proposed by the Commission, and
agreed to by the Government, is that of the last para-
graph in Article 7, which empowers the Government to
reject at pleasure any order of the day. The addition of
a few words has rendered the Article more liberal, and
provides for the immediate nomination of a committee,
which shall report to the Chamber on the subject. M.
Devienne is determined that there shall be no mistake
about his interpretation of the 2nd Article. " The
responsibility of Ministers to the Chamber" are words, I
am told, three times repeated in his report.
Some excitement was caused to-day by the report that
the Emperor was seriously indisposed, and that the
Empress would immediately return to Paris. The most
decided contradiction has been given to these rumours.
The Emperor is declared to be in his usual health.
General Lebceuf has already entered on his work, and,
though scarcely settled in the War Ministry, he has begun
in earnest. lie will take possession of his hotel as soon
as the widow of Marshal Niel has left it, which she is ex-
pected to do to-morrow. It is not at present the inten-
tion of the Government to appoint a successor to the
General at Toulouse, and it is believed that the authorities
intend to suppress some of the great military appoint-
ments.

M. Baroche is not yet fixed upon definitively as th•
representative of France at the (Ecumenical Council.
The Emperor is advised to commission one of the French
prelates, who will assist at the Council to represent the
Imperial interests. In the event of this plan being carried
out, the probability is that the Archbishop of Bourges, the
brother of the Foreign Minister, will be entrustedwith the
mission. N. Marrot, the Radical candidate for Angou-
lame, has just been elected a member of the General
Council. _ _ _

General Prim is expected shortly to arrive at Vichy,
which is a proof that Spanish affairs are not so serious
as they have been represented to be.
The lion-tamer I,:icas has fallen a victim to the injuries
he received at the Hippodrome. The greatest admiration
is expressed concerning the conduct of Mendey, his assis-
tant, who rushed in the cage to his rescue. It appears
that he bad never been in the lion's cage before, but he
was determined to save his master at all hazards.
The harvest is nothing remarkable either way, and if it
has disappointed the expectations of the sanguine, it has
not fulfilled gloomy prophecies. The frequent storms
which have occurred during the summer have caused
great injury to the crops, and the state of the wheat is
very unequal in different parts.

The ecclesiastical authorities in Spain have, it is
believed, signed an address to the Pope, requesting
counsel in the difficult position in which they find them-
selves with respect to the Government order.
According to the latest accounts, tho Carlist chief,
Polo, will not be executed, the Spanish authorities peino
