Correspondence of The n Y Tribune
PARIS, Thursday, Sept. IS, 1851.
nj. de la GuerOunlere has concluded In
the Pays his political portrait OF Louis Napo-
leon, of which gave you considerable extract
in my last NJ de Lamartne, from the depth OF
his retirement at Macon, protests against the IN
ference that the public might draw, that he
shares the opinions expressed 10y his co-Edi
tor. The public certainly had drawn such con
clusion, and twas even supposed by many that
though the article was Guerounere's, and signed
by him. the plan and the ideas were Lamartne's.
At the head of the newspaper are the words,
Direction Poitque, NJ. de Lamartine; EdteT
U CHIT, NJ de Ia Guerounlere." The former
complains that the article occupies the editorial
columns, and, therefore, seems to be the express
sion Of the common political opinions OF the diff
ferent Editors whereas he thinks 1t ought to
have been printed in the form OF d teullleton, or
under the rubric Varieties" on the third page
of the paper Ii seems, therefore, that Lamar
tine is no more disposed than ever to veer to the
support OF the President, at least as long as the
law of the 3lst of May remains unrepeaed II
universal suffrage were restored, 1t is however
probable that he would be willing to use his in
nuence IN behalf OF such revision might lie.

No details have yet been made public III rcla-
ton to the affair called the Compiot de Paris. OF
the lsOpersons arrested, half have been set at
liberty. many of them, however, receiving orders
to quit Paris within the ensuing p hours. The
Patr,e publishes document which II declares
was seized upon the persons OF several OF the
prisoners The publication OF this is certainly
premature, as those charged with the propaga-
ton of the doctrines therein contained, are I'M
der lock and key. aud are unable to reiute the
accusation and defend themselves from false
witness. The premature publication OF such
documents is formally forbidden 10y law. But if
II shall be proved upon the trial of the accused
that German and Italian refugees have been In
the habit of holding nocturnal meetings within
the walls OF Paris, that they are IN constant com.
munlcaiion with the Central Committee in Lon
don, and that they have had anything to do with
the preparation OF the Address TO the League
or were TO have any part to play in the execu.

across the frontier Is certainly lenlent retalla-
ton The document published 10y the Patr,s is
entitled, Instructions TO the League, before,
during and after the Revolution" Ii Is In the
form OF O circular Is Autographed, bears the
date OF London, August /, and Is supposed TO
be addressed TO the German revolutionlsts resi-

But enough of this. ltls 10 be hoped that this
execrabe circular is a forgery, Invented for the
purpose OF frightening the unld into support OF
the Presidents plan OF revision and reelection,
by giving them view OF the volcano under
