PARIS CORRESPONDENCE,
Tnunsn AT,

The interpellation of the Left Centre becomes more and
more formidable. Some exaggerated estimates of the
number of signatures have been published, but it is certain
that the total up to the time I am writing is not fewer than
115. Yesterday itwas 110, and 5 more Imperialists have
joined the Moderate-Liberal camp within the last twenty-
four hours. Tho Liberte states that 33 deputies of the ex-
treme Left will infallibly vote in favour of the interpellation,
and as M. Emile de Girardin's journal is the leading ad-
vocate of the Moderate Liberals, this statement must be
accepted as correct. If the interpellation, therefore, he
brought to a division, the Liberals, according to all
appearances, will be supported by 153 votes, and the
Government will be beaten. What a change in a few
months from the stereotyped Land of twenty-five who
used to hopelessly throw themselves on the serried ranks
of the Imperialists !
Whether the Emperor will allow the question to be
brought to this pass is most anxiously canvassed here.
At present all is in the dark. We have nothing tut
conjecture to rely upon ; but the general impression is
that the Emperor will give way, and yield up personal
government. From some vague words let fall by M.
Itouher during the last day or two, it would appear
that the Government was not radically opposed
to change. The Emperor, in fact, was willing
to grant reform, but not so much as was claimed
by the Left Centre. I hardly need remind you
that the significance of the famous interpellation has been
materially altered. At first it pronounced for reform
generally, without specifying what concessions would be
accepted, now it demands that personal government should
cease, and that Ministers be responsible for the acts of the
Government. This means that the Emperor is to become a
constitutional sovereign. M. Itouher of course opposes a
change which would involve his own downfall. He calls
the demand for Ministerial responsibility an attack upon
the Emperor, and doubts whether it can be entertained at
all. But the signature of one Imperialist after another is
asymptom which cannot be overlooked. The official deputies
are clearly beginning to think that the ship of personal
government is sinking, and that they had better get out of
it. The Emperor might resist a demand which was supported
by none of his own followers. But when his relatives and
the elected of his prefects are joining in the cry for
change, is it possible that he can resist it? Most people
here think he cannot. All are agreed that this is the
most momentous crisis the Empire has yet seen.

That M. Rouher and his colleagues are frightened at
the aspect of affairs there can be no doubt. Yesterday
the business in the Corps L6gislatif was almost entirely
neglected. The Ministers were taking the recalcitrant
deputies apart one by one, and entreating them to
modify their demands. Several of the Moderates were told
yesterday that if they would not insist upon Ministerial
responsibility, anything short of that would be granted.
But no deputy gave way. Five more signed.
There is a rumour to-day that the presentation of the
interpellation will be contested on the ground that it is
unconstitutional. In the letter it decidedly is, for by the
law the constitution cannot be discussed in Parliament.
But nothing is unconstitutional in spirit which is agreed
upon by the people and their ruler, and the Liberte
rightly refuses to believe that the Emperor will thus
endeavour to stem the rising tide.
The question of naming the Secretaries of the Corps
L4gislatif is much discussed at present. Some are in
favour of proceeding at once to that operation, whilst
others conceive that as many non-contested elections as
possible should be previously dispoied of, so as to impart
to the decisions of the Chamber a greater authority.
Hitherto, however, the Administration has refused to
consent to the election of the Secretaries, and the Liberal
papers accuse it of endeavouring to delay the discussion
on reform as long as possible. Of course, no regular busi-
ness can be undertaken until the Secretar:es are elected.
But the fact is that if any divisions took place now the
Government would be nowhere, for no deputy can vote
whose election has not been confirmed, and there are
sixty-seven yet unconfirmed. Nearly all these are Impe-
rialists.

M. Bailed made his debtit yesterdaY in the Corps 1.403.
latif. He was listened to with great attention; which he
deserved, fur he is a fine speaker—eloquent, liberal, and
by no means violent—at least on this occasion. If I have
a fault to find with him it is that he is too
solemn. Your readers will remember that M. Bancel
is the candidate who defeated Emile 011ivier in Paris.
One of the official arguments used against him was that
he had, whilst in exile, drunk to the defeat of the French
army before Sebastopol. Yesterday M. Bancel
energetically denied this. lie had (bird( to the abolition
of war and the resurrection of liberty, but never to the
defeat of his countrymen. The inslnuation was one too
contemptible to be noticed.
More complaints of corruption yesterday. M. Bethmont
demanded the abrogation of an election in the DrMlle, on
the ground that the official candidate had won by only
1,450 Votes on a poll of 27,000, and that this majority had
been gained only by the most flagrant corruption. One
official had offered money for votes. The bulletins of the
official candidate had been sent attached to voting-papers—
a grave offeve, M. Bethmont thought, equivalent to
ordering the 4ectors to vote for the Imperialist. The
Liberal bulletins had not been sent round at all by the
authorities.

An Englishman, named Roberts, got into trouble at the
fair at Fontainebleau. A holy found his hand in her
pocket, and though he protested that he had meant to put
it into the pocket of his overcoat, the aid of a policeman
was procured. Nine gold pieces were then found in his
mouth. lie declared that ho had put them there
to cure the toothache, but he became the victim
of this rather strong circumstantial evidence and
rs.r sentenced to a year's imprisonment.

MR. GLADSTONE AND THE DUKE OP

NEIVCAS7LE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(TIIIS DAY.)

Last night the Lord Chief Baron suggested that as the
matter resolved itself entirely into a question of law, it
should be left to the court above in the share of a special
case setting the reliable facts.

This morning a long and earnest consultation took place
between tho counsel and parties, and ultimately Mr.
Denman announced to his lordship that they had agreed to
these terms : —" The jury to be discharged ; special case
to be stated by Mr. Gray, Q.C. ; the Court to be at liberty
to enter the verdict as it thinks fit, and to draw
inferences of fact without prejudice, to the right, if any,
of either party to apply, to tunend, issue and order. Tho
duke's examinations to be admitted as evi.lonce before
Mr. Gray, subject to all rights of examination or contra.
diction. Certificate fur special jury. Judge's order to
Embody terms."

,The Lord Chief Baron—That is the form in which I
suggested the terms should be arranged, and I need nut,
therefore, say that I entirely approve of it.
The jury wore then discharged accordingly.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOC' A7ION PRIZE
MEETING.—(This Day )

This morning the first range in the first stage for the
prize was begun at 600 yards.
Tho highest aggregate score for the Queen's Prize has
been made by Colour-Sergeant Sherlock, 20th Middle--
sex, up to the time of writing. Ile has made 42 points,
which is the highest score made at the three ranges of 200,
500, and GOO yards. Another gentleman, who made an
excellent score at 200 and 500 yards, has come hopelessly
to grief. This is Mr. Burrows, of the London Irish, who
having made the fine score, considering the weather, of
16 at 200 and 18 at 500 yards, has only made 5 this morn-
ing at 600 yards.
