CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR ORN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY, December'2B.
The announcement that the session of the Corps
Idgislatif and the Senate will open on the 18th leaves
much doubt on the important subject of the general
elections. It is generally understood that the
great tune qui pent will not come off until
after the session is terminated, but this gives rise
to some ♦ery grave considerations as to the fate
of the partial elections which are now held in abeyance.
Four constituencies, including that which was represented
by M. Berryer, are at present vacant. The Government
determined that it would not incur certain defeat
in the district which returned M. Berryer, and run the
risk of a check in one or two of the otber departments.
It has, therefore, as its prerogative permits, resolved to
suspend these elections, and to leave these districts for a
time unrepresented. But this prerogative extends only to
a period of six months. By law, after an interval of
half a year from the time that a seat becomes
vacant, it must be filled up. Now, one of the
scats at present vacant became so on the 19th Nov. If
the law be complied with, the latest date for returning a
deputy for this district must be the 19th of May. The
session will not be over by that day. I hear that business
is to he pressed, and M. niers is said to have given his
opinion that all interpellations, except the most urgent,
are likely to be refused. But with all the expedition
imaginable it is hardly possible that the session could be
terminated by the 19th of May. If, then, the law be coin-
plied with, these partial elections might as well take
place now, and the inconvenience to these con•
stituencies of non-representation be put an end to,
since, except by illegal means, the seats cannot be

kept open until the general election. But are these illegal
means to be employed? Will the Government arbitrarily
suspend the election of these deputies until the return of the
whole? The Opposition papers begin to fear that such
will be the case, and are already protesting against the
probability.
Marshal MacMahon is now in Vienna. His sudden trip
to the capital, at which the greatest sympathy with France
is supposed to prevail, gives rise to many sinister conjec-
tures as to probable action in the East, &c.
The political barometer is not, however, affected. An
energetic revival is to be notified at the Bourse. Rentes
have gone up to 71, and Italian and Turkish securities are
two per cent. higher than at one time during the month. The
Eastern question does not affect finance here. Everything
is superb in appearance.

The intervention of France has been attended with al

least one good result. That annoying little difficulty, the
Pontifical Debt, has at length been disposed of. It has
been settled that the bonds of that portion of the debt
which appertains to the provinces annexed to Italy shall
still be considered as part of the Papal obligations, and
shall be marked only by the seal of King Victor. Italy
will account, through France, for the interest of the
bonds, which will be free from the tax which is levied on
other Italian securities.

The Marquis de Moustier is no better. Prince Napoleon
is also ill, or, according to the official accounts, so indis-
posed as to be unable to receive visitors. Count
d'Eulenberg, the Prussian Minister of the Interior, who
has been attacked with the small-pox, is the third, but not
the last on the list of illustrious invalids. The mortality
and disease among the great men of France has been such
that people are inquiring whence the now race of states
men is to come.

M. Pinard, the deposed Minister of the Interior, has
accepted an appointment for his brother and another for
his brother-in-law, hut so far be himself appears to have
made up his mind for a candidature at the next election.
According to the Figaro, Lady Mary, sister of the
present Duke of Hamilton, is shortly going to be married
to Prince Hohenzollern, brother of Prince Charles of
Roumania.

A subscription has at length been opened to the
memory of 31. Berryer. It is headed with the name of 31.
Thiers.

Some of the journals, and first the Gaulois, have published
a statement that at a fire which recently took place in the
house of M. Troplong, President of the Senate, a number
of pictures properly belonging to the Louvre were found
In bis drawing-room. This statement has been followed
by others to the effect that public paintings have been
found hanging on the walls of other drawing-rooms,
one in particular being that of a very high personage.
These reports, which have excited considerable attention,
have not yet been denied. The Public sets up a lame
defence, which is neither denial nor excuse, but which
virtually admits the fact that such scandalous appropria-
tions of public property have been made. The revelation
is anything but creditable to those whom it concerns.
A letter from Madrid says that General Prim received
rather a peculiar Christmas•box—the 25th of December,
as in England, being the great presentation day in Spain.
This gift consisted of a small coffer, containing a little
model of a gallows and another of a guillotine, with a
pretty correct representation of the individual to whom it
was addressed, and these words engraved in silver letters at
the bottom of the box, " One or the other." The perpe-
trator of this pleasing little joke has not been discovered.
