CORRESPONDEIiCE PROM PARIS.

(Fnom QUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, TUE.SDAY, November 17

The Correspondanee Dares has come to the rescue of the
Government with an article which must be considered as
an official manifesto of the Imperial policy in the Baudin
affair. Hitherto the course taken by the Government
has been very enigmatical. To seize one paper and
allow another which committed the same offence to go
scot free, to inflict severe punishments upon some
and take no measures against others equally " guilty," is
a sort of justice which would be unintelligible even in an
English J.P. The Correspondence Haves does little or
nothing to explain this undignified conduct, but it sets
forth pretty plainly what will be done in the future. To
the revolutionaries of every creed the Government will
oppose a vigorous policy of firmness. " Over a tomb which
has been closed and forgotten for the space of
seventeen years it has been attempted all at once
to elaborate an accusation against the Imperial
regime and against its origin. Orleanists, Legiti-
mists and Republicans have united to open this
audacious campaign against the sovereignty which has
been chosen by the will of the people. The Government
did not use the force which it had at command when the
demonstration of the 2nd of November took place ; but
justice, which knows its duty, has been able to reach the
Principal authors of the scandal which has annoyed
the people who went to the Montmartre cemetery,
not to take part in a miserable political
parade, but to perform religious duties to the dead. Some
journals which have abetted and continued this manifesta-
tion have been punished equally by the same judges."
After alluding to the Gaulois and its conspiracy, and to
the condemned papers, the article adds : "The Govern-
ment persists, without weakness or without spite, to exact
respect from all. No reactionary measure, but vigilance
and firmness softened by a wise moderation, are the ideas
which predominate in our official spheres." Of this article,
which may be supposed to end the Baudin affair for the
present, only one remark need be made. The Government
has not succeeded in securing the respect of the people by
these prosecutions, and it will not improve its positionby
prosecuting the Gaulois. That journal merely expressed
in an exaggerated form the very sentiment that is contained
in the official article. Such proceedings are absurd. It is
said, however, that this prosecution will notgo much further.
M. Rouher is designated as the originator of it—against
the wish of several of his colleagues.

The ifoniteur officially announces that the Prince and
Princess of Wales will pay a visit to Compiegne.
It is feared that M. Berryer's support of the Bauctin
subscription may be the last act of his life. He is very ill,
and in a state of alarming weakness.'
The unusual fall of snow which has signalised the
approach of the winter of the Alps has not greatly inter-
fered with the traffic on the Mont Cenis Railway. There
was a delay only of a few hours. The line was speedily
cleared by machines provided each with s snow-driver.
The weather has been remarkably severe all over France,
and several lives have been lost in the storm.

Is there to be a dispute over the body of Rossini? it
bas been announced that it will be taken to the Madeleine
before the day of the funeral, which is fixed for
Thursday; but a telegram by the Havas Agency says that
a deputation from the town of Pesaro, accompanied by
the Italian deputy Sancona, has set out for Paris, in order
to claim the mortal remains of the great musician. But it

is not likely that this demand will interfere with the last
ceremony at the beautiful church which looks upon the
Place de la Concorde. A grand musical service will be
celebrated, Madame Alboni being amongst the singers.
The building will doubtless be crowded to excess, though
only those furnished with cards of admission ir ill be allowed
to enter. It is expected that the maestro's will will make
some sensation, as much by the elevation of thought which
characterises its dispositions as by the eccentricity of cer-
tain clauses. Most of the propel ty will be left to 11Iadame
Rossini. The purport of two legacies has been divulged
which are of special interest. One is to the effect
that the testator, in recognition of the hospitality
which he found on the soil of France, desires to take his
eternal repose there ; consequently, he prescribes that his
body shall be interred at Plre la Chaise, there to remain.
The second disposition bequeaths to the Institute of
France a capital necessary to yield two prizes of
3,000 francs each : one to be annually awarded to
the author of the best libretto of an opera, and
the other to the composer who shall have produced the
best musical score for such a work. However, he stipu-
lates expressly that the reward to be given to the musician
shall be granted only to a " melodist." The first of
these clauses, of course, disposes of the deputation from
Pesaro, whatever may be its eccentricity.
