FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT

PARIS, MAY l, 1851.
The week passed since the date Of my last has
been one of much political excitement The Boz
napartst and Democratic-socialit parties are both
at present in state of unwonttd agitation, which
has not failed to aggravate all heunfavorabe symp-
toms which have hitherto been signalized arrest
ing industry, paralyzing commerce, and alarming
capital all over France. As the moment approaches
when, if at all, the amendment d the Constitution
legalizng the reelection of M. BoNAPARTE is to be
effected, his party feels that, unhss some most i'm
portant modification of the actualrelaton of parties
with respect to each other be promptly achieved,
such amendment is impossible If very few
weeks after the commencement of the last year Of
the Assembly (it commences this month"; be allow
ed to pass without action, it becomes materially i'm
possible to effect in the form prescribed the amend
ment necessary, and M. BoNAPARTE will have no
resort but coup detat to prevent his retirement
to undistnguished, and perhaps obscure private
life All men admit that if to-day the Assembly
were called to vote upon the call of Constituent
Assembly, the revisionists would fall far short Of
the required majority of three-fourths. 1t was in
the hope Of improving the chance that M. PERsIeNY
the intimate personal friend of M. BoNAPARTE, his
favorite counsellor, devoted partisan, and noto-
rlous imperialisD sought few days ago, an inter-
view with Gen. CHANGARNIER. The nature of this
interview has been the matter of universal COM
ment. The truth in relation to it seems now pretty
well ascertained. The journal Ordre, known for
its intimate relations with Gen. CHANGARNIER, has
made, as almost coming directly from the General,
interesting and important revelations. The object
of the interview was to effect reconciliation be-
tween M. BoNAPARTE and the General. If the
General could be made to forget and forgive the
affront of his late dismissal, it was hoped that by
his influence large majority, if not the three
fourths, could be got in the Assembly At any rate
the dreaded and ilusous General Of the Royasi
Pirtes the only one on whom they could unite, would be
detached from the Of the Assembly and the
military coup fetG rendered much less doubtful than
present NJ PERseSr protesting always to act solely from
his own inspiration, without the aledge Of the President
OF Minister'S understood have made indirectly the
ducing offers to Gen. CulSsARNIER If he would heartily
operate for the consummaon Of the impeas views Th.
necessity Of this change he argued for the welfare Of France
was manifest The actual position of The President

way not TO offend him. PergDy is really able man, ant
full of tact) to understand that when all done, mpera
favor and gratitude would know no bounds But here is th
most important revelation made by POrdc In the
the interview NJ DE PERsIeSr declared that during the lat
Ministerial crisis the President one moment upon th
very eve Of eec'ng his ends can parliamentary Ca

ni6cancy. Shortly after NJ PERseNrs return from Prussia
