ton by rumors Of conspiracies, wars, resig-
nations and abductions. Yesterday the
whole town was excited and alarmed by a
movement Of the military from thu, camp OF
st. Maur to the Champ de Mars. A con-
spiracy Of the Legitimisis and Insurgent
Democrats had been discovered, il was said.
Their design was to abduct Gen. Cavaig,
nae and make descent On the Assembly.
The Government papers Of this morning
contradict this and declare that the sole OBJ.
Jet was to exercise the troops in military
maneuyres. But this is not altogether sat
islactory, for the reason that St. Maur is at
least FIVE miles distant from the Champ de
Mars and is about as good a ground for
parades; and also, for the reason that the
rain was falling heavily at the time, 1t
was a singular day TO choose fol a dress
parade i am Inclined, therefore, TO think
that the Government had some cause for ap-
prehension.
A few days since il was rumored that
Gen. Cavaignac intended TO resign at the
end of the month, but this seems entirely
grOundless.
The election for Speaker of the House
takes place next Monday. NJ. Marrast
seems to have given general satisfaction
in this post, but the probability is that he
will be dropped, at his own request, and
that NJ. Lamartine will be the candidate of
the Palais, Nationel and Institute Reunion
Of Representatives. NJ. Marast has, il is
said, some ambition for di plomatiC honors.

Since the magnificent soiree OF NJ. Mar
rasl, parties, balls aid dinners have been in
fashion. The papers chronicle them all
with almost the particularly OF the London
papers, under their record Of the doiDgs Of
the Royal Family. The last one given was
a great dinner by Baron Dupin. Gen.
Cavaignac was present, and the converse
ton turned almost entirely on political
questions, and chiefly the question Of Italy.
With us or in England, it would De a sin
gular occasion for the Executive to declare
formally his policy on foreign questions,
but the papers say that when Gen. Cavaig-
nae was over his wine, he declared that he
intended to pursue peaceful policy and that
he should repulse the armed intervention
policy, at the hazard Of losing his majority
in the Chamber and his office. You will
see, doubtless, this statement in the foreign
news. need not say that it should be Ia
ken with great qualification. When the
fear Of an armed intervention by France is
the only thing to induce Austria to recede
in the negotiation, would the French Exec
utive announce beforehand that nothing
would tempt him TO intervene
The state of siege still endures and there
is no telling how long it will be continued.
The Parisians are not very uneasy under il,
as they attribute to it the comparative few
ness Of the crimes. NJ. Lichtemberger
raised the question yesterday in the Commit
tee on Justice, but to no purpose.
The debate on the money deposit to be
made by publishers to secure the Govern
ment in the amount Of fines imposed on
the journals was very interesting. | was
fortunate enough to be present. The Min
listers Marie and Senard spoke. They ad-
vocated the law as a temporary measure
only, said that the time had not arrived for a
de6nitive law on the press, that the sole OBJ
lect of the Executive was to reduce the de-
post from 100000 francs, the sum hereto
fore required, to $4,000; and that they were
willing to recognise that such preventive
legislation was bad in principle. The op-
ponents took the position that it was an at
tack against the liberty Of the press, and
used the common arguments and declama-
ton on that side. NJ. Leon Faucher and
Others discussed at length the American
press. The first said: "rhe press Of the
United States is not political; it is a loca
press, a business press and even Il press o
defamation. There is, in that country, bu
one counterpoise to that absolute liberty, tC
