the confusion occasioned by the two fires

their best rxcrtions.

The Paris correspondent Of the New

Tapineau has been favorably received in
Paris by all the political parties it is not
true that he experienced at Havre any
obstacle to his coming hither. After the
feasting of Louis Napoleon in England,
even the Court party IN France may be
excused for investing a Papineau with some
consequence. AS the emancipation of the
Canadas is deemed certain, sooner or later,

the miserable policy which has been pursued in
