tating the Pope and the Bishops, and is waxing
blasphemous. To declare that France looks
for protection to the Emperor and the Virgin, is
placing them and, by implication, their offspring
IN -one and the same category. Our Savior and
the Duke of Reichstadt are thus brought into
close communion. 1t will not be long before the
Patrie tells Us that the latter suffered crucifxion
on Mount Calvary, while the former died some
years ago at Rome. One would think that the
Censors had been sleeping, if it were not known
that they wink at whatever the Patris thinks
proper to publish, and that therefore their eyes
must have been open, and not shut. As the
Patrie is soon to be printed upon entirely new
type, and as it has met with fattering success
since the coup dstat we may Judge that its course

The various candidates for election to the
Legislative Assembly are so little known to
American readers, that think it hardly worth
while to enumerate any portion of them. One
candidacy, however, will, | imagine surprise

the Poys. He is the Government candidate In
the department of Cantal, and in the issue
of yesterday, defines his position in somewhat
apologize style. 1t can be regarded as nothing
less than retfaction of the opinions that he

see such instances of desertiOn and apostacy,

influence they are effected. Into what mill or

The oldest of the chifioniers of Paris, and
dean of the corporation, died this week. He

and before cock crow in the morning, poking
over heaps of rubbish, and winnOwing the wheat

The enterprise and industry of this journal are
remarkable Some days ago, the Washington
arrived at Southampton from New-York, with
several days later dates, and intelligence which
was to the American, at least, interesting and
important. The mail for Paris crossed the chan.
mel to Havre and arrived here "a hours before the
English papers containing her news. Mr. Galig-
man, with complete files of American journals
in his office, neither alluded to their receipt nor
to the arrival of the Washington. He waited

is in fact no one in the establishment capable of
taking file of papers and extracting or condens-
ing the prominent features of interest. The
justice OF the Messenger is fully equal to its en-
eIgy. We received news day or two ago Of the
successive stoppages at Halifax of the Humboldt
and the Niagara, from stress OF weather. The mis-
adventure of the American ship is treated at some
length by Mr.. Galignani, and not one syllable of
mention is made of the similar misfortune of the
Cunarder. We learned also, yesterday, by tele
graph, OF the arrival OF the Arctic at Liverpool,
