Some importance appears TO he attached in the
English and French papers TO a meeting OF repre-
scntatves Of the Legiumist party, which II Is said
is about TO take place at Wicsbaden, where IL is said
the Duke dc Bordeaux ia TO be present
The Journal de, Debats says, in reference TO the
letters which have been published in several jour
mails reporting conversations at ST. Leonardo or
ChSrlcmont, that they are authorized to declare
that these letters and conversations have authcn
tic character.
We copy the following from the Paris corre-
spondence Of the London Morning Post, under date
OF Tuesday evening Aug. 9th
At the close Of the debate last night the govern
ment proposal for abrogating the forced currency
Of bank notes, and for restrictions TO the issue Of
notes, was adopted with bot slight opposition from
the MOnts gnc This return TO cash currency seems
60 give general satisfaction, and TO inspire conf
dcncc throughout the country.
NJ. Berger, NJ de Lsrocbcjaquclin, and all the
chiefs Of the Logimst party about 20 start for
Wiesbaden, 20 pay their respects 10 the Count dc
Chanbord. M. Guizot, M. Duchatcl, NJ. Salvandy,
and other Orlcanist cheftains are also about 10
proceed thithor. This projected pilgrimage gives
great offence at the Elystc
The President has been forcwarnod that the re-
ceptiOn which awaits him in the south Of France
will not he cordial might be desired; the plan
Of his peregrinations will therefore be somewhat
modified. The Patris said last night that hc would
certainly not go 10 Chorbourg. This statement i
probably uniounded, tho Prince had his heart
ON the naval review there, and when a project has
once entered his head there is small chance Of his
ron msy, therefore rendezvous at Cherbourg with
certainty Of not being deprived Of the promised
spectacle.
PANS, Tuesday, 7, p. m.-After to-day, the poo
pie Of Paris may begin 90 date "from the secord
deluge." Since the Hood, there has not been such
n sccne witnessed. The ram has been falling in
torrents since the morning, and at this moment
there are between two and three feet Of water in
many Of the streets. Around all the sewers there
is n foaming vortex. At the corner Of the BOulc-
ward dee ltalicns found a Charybdis, such "a had
never been seen on terra frma, whilst in some OF
the other streets the resemblance was 90 Scylla.
The rush Of angry waters down those streets where
there - any declivity is absolutely tremendous;
the horses splash about surrounded, and the car
rage wheels look like mill wheels as they whrl
around through the stream. You see hundreds of
persons who have been weather bound for hours,
standing ON door stcps, watching the rushing
stream. At this moment the hoodaatcs of heaven
seem 10 be opened afrosh and the torrent IL pour.
ing down more hercely than ever. The scene
would be ludicrous, for there IL no danger 10 be
apprehendcd, IL the destruction Of property were
not considerable at the present moment the fur
nture IL floating about the DWELLING places Of those
who sojOurn on the ground floor in cellars under
tho Garth. II the Legislative Assembly, which is
now sitting, would hut vote a few pounds Of soap,
and avail themselves of the propitsous moment, 20
turn their Socialist and hirsute colleague into tho
streets, they would do good deed, for which they
would deserve well Of their country; but the prON
unity Of cleanliness To godliness no doubt inspires
thcse people with n secret losthing.
The star Of legitimacy begins TO sail oonspicu-

lists who going TO Wiesbaden 10 do homage To
him whom they deem their soverei gn, gains fresh
accessions daily NJ Cuinot will certainly g.
