PARIS CORRESPONDENCE.
TUESDAY.

The Senate and the Corps L6gislatif are preparing new
regulations. Among the changes proposed by the Com-
mission, it makes the presence of the senators at the sit-
tings comyulsory. No one may absent himself without
having first obtained permission to do so. The offices of
senator and deputy will in this case be no sinecures.
The report that M. Thiers had been summoned to the
Tuileries, and had taken part in the negotiations arising
out of the Ministerial crisis, is emphatically denied in
several quarters. No more credence, I understand, must
be attached to the rumour that the illustrious historian
and orator was about to start a journal.
The Journal Offieicl, of to-day, announces the installa-
tion of the municipal council of Paris which took place en
the 3rd. The council itself has but a temporary existence
in awaiting the proposed legislative changes. The prefect
of the Seine, M Haussmann himself, made a speech eulogis tic
of the authorities. He deplored the advent of thousands of
workmen in Paris from the provinces, who voted in the
elections at the dictation of socialist clubs. The Jratrn«l
des Pebats, in commenting on this passage, ren i•ris the
Prefect of the Seine that it was l►e who brought these pro-
vincial thrsnLzs to Paris. N. Haussmann paid most flatter-
ing compliments to " the city of all Frenchmen, the fo'us
of all intelligence anti activity, the soil of France," by way,
I presume, of consoling his Parisian hearers for some less
pleasant phrases. "All the acts of the Parisirn
Administration affect," he said, "the Government,
the nation itself, or interests of such import-
ance that they are mixed with public interests. The
body entrusted with the regulation of the affairs cf the
city would not, therefor:, bo properly qualified if it only
represented the results of a purely kcal election.
The intervention of public authority in the
institution of the municipal magistrates can
only. be a passing necessity. The exception proves the
rule.' So speaks M. Haussmann, who has revolutionised
our city in an architectural sense at least, and his words
have been severely criticised.
111. Rochefort is bestirring himself in the Chamber, and
the Left are evidently anxious to mark very distinctly the
line between his principles and theirs. The Libel te, in
referring to the recent passage of arms between the Irre-
concilable and the Minister of the Interior, satirises their
rival spectres of the Revolution on one hand, and the coup
dieter! on the other, spectres which they evoke almost
daily. .

The Independance Beige states that the Anti-Council at
Naples was suspended because it had advocated a Republic
in France. When it endeavoured to meet the next day
the people, who were influenced by the clergy, shelved
such decided hostility to the free-thinkers, that the autho-
rities were obliged to come to their assistance.
Cardinal Mathieu's return to France has been made the
subject of many commentaries, but the caus3 of his return
was that his presence was rendered absolutely necessary in
his diocese. During the sitting of the council more than
one prelate will probably find it necessary to request leave
of absence for a similar purpose.

Great dissatisfaction has been expressed at the prosecu-
tion of the Paris Journal on account of the article that
was written about the Empress. The trial will not, it is
said, be continued.
" Marshal Bazaine in Mexico " is the name of a new
work which is announced for publication. It is intended
as a vindication of the General's policy, and of the Army
of Expedition in that country.
Two days after the Emperor of Russia and the King of
Prussia had exchanged civilities, on the occasion of the
pr33entation of the Order of St. George, M. Werther, the
Prussian Ambassador at Paris, called on 31. do la Tour
&Auvergne, and assured him of the friendly feelings of his
Government. He is supposed to have taken this step, in
order to counteract any evil impression that might have
been made by the remarks of the Sovergigng.
