CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, Tuesday Evening.
The Emperor of Russia, in celebration of his nisi

to Paris, it is said, has issued an ukase granting a
partiFd amnesty to the Poles compromised in the last
insurrection. The date of the amnesty coincides

nearly with that of the Emperor's arrival in the
capital.
M. Guepin, of Nantes, who sent a letter to Gari-
baldi, requesting him to make an appeal in favour
of peace, has just received the following interesting
answer :—" My dear Guepin,—Thanks for your
beautiful letter. Yes, morality wants emulation
in progress and not in war. It is time that people
should understand themselves without wanting to
exterminate each other. It is time that the iron
appropriated to the manufacture of terrible
instruments of destruction should in future
serve for machines useful to the people,
who have not peace. It is time, in short,

,hat the laborious and suffering classes of a.

countries should proclaim to the disorganised
oligarchy that its reign is over, and that the jus
fcederis has ceased to be, and that those without
work should cease to live upon those who do.
With a view to put an end to the system of servility

there are no doubt difficulties to overcome among
the upper classes, but the post of all difficulties is
to be vanquished by the people themselves. They
may tell me that the people are deceived. Will
they allow themselves to be deceivei eternally ?
Will they for ever act like the camel, which bends

its knees before its master to receive the burthen
upon its back, or like the clog, which crouches at
its master's feet to receive chastisement ?

"Do not imagine that my specific for the
cure of so many evils is revolution. No, there
is no one in the world who can now ad-
vise or desire revolution. That would be

too terrible. The revolution of 'B9 would ap-
pear like children's play compared with the social
revolution which ferments among the oppressed
classes. The ran cours are too keen between the
crushed people and the patricians who have the
monopoly of enjoyments. God forbid that such a
thing should happen. In the meantime it is for the
great population of London, Paris, and Berlin, to

give themselves the word of order, and to form
fraternal concord. Let each of 113 find his Hyde
Park and proclaim to the world that by the grace
of Heaven we wish to be brothers. ' The fraternity
of the peoples,' there is our desire, and let the first
article of our compact be ' War is impossible be-
tween brothers.'

There are so:n?, inter stin,r; historical recollections

connected with the Elysoe,-which is now occupied

by the Emperor of Russia and Mit two sons. That
palace was built in 1758, and it was successively
the residence of the Count d'Evrcux, Madame de
Pompadour, and the Duchess de Bourbon Cond6.
During the revolution public fetes were given in its

beautiful gardens. It was afterwards inhabited by
Murat, and by Napoleon the First in 1815. It was
there that the Emperor signed his second abdication.
The Duchess de Berri and the Duke de Bordeaux
also resided in this palace. It again became the
property of the Civil List in 1830, at the revolution
which drove' Charles the Tenth from his Throne,
and in 1848 it was occupied by the commission ap-
pointed to distribute national rewards. From 1849
to 1852 Prince Louis, now the Emperor Napoleon,
lived in it. It is capacious, beautiful, and admir-
ably arranged, and would be a suitable residence
for the greatest soveriegn in the world. Within a
recent period the Palace has been improved and en-
larged by one other wing, and a splendid parade has

been constructed.
The complaints against the cabmen have been so
numerous since the opening of the Exhibition that
the Prefect of Police
-has considered it necessary to
issue some stringent regulations to prevent the
system of evasion which prevailed. It was not ex-
actly a strike, but it entailed almost the same in-
conveniences. In Paris you pay for a cab or other
similar vehicles either by the hour or for a journey,
but the fare is the same either for a long or short
journey. Thus, if a cab were taken from the most
remote point of Paris to the Exhibition, the driver
would only receive the same fare to which-he would
be entitled for taking von to the next street.
It is certain that martyrs have been made
of some of the poor cabmen by unconscionable
visitors or natives who have hailed a vehicle at a
distance of some five or six miles from the Champ
de Mars, and have paid only as much as if they had
been driven half a mile. Thus, whenever a cab-
tn,ln fancied his fare was going to the Exhibition
he pretended he was hired or evaded the requisition
in some way or other. This state of things has
given rise to some humorous expedients on the
part of those who have wanted cabs. One gentle-
man stated that he found the only real way of
getting a cab without difficulty was to keep a
printed bill in his pocket, on which was inscribed
"I am not going to the Exhibition," and this he
