Our French Correspondence.

PARIS, July Z, 1852.
The Conspiracy in Paris-The Clergy Of France
Objections 10 Horace, VugR, Cicero, &c., in
Schools, &c. &c.
On my arrival in Paris, I find the population much
occupied with pleasure, and very little with politics
The recent discovery of conspiracy has scarcely at
tracted the attention Of the public. The govern
ment is in respect alarmed by it; but, finding
that several of the persons compromised TO
whom mercy for previous political offences had been
extended, it has determined to enforce vigorously
the sentences pronounced upon other of their asso-
ciaes.
Political men are now seriously impressed by the
commencement Of an opposition in the Legislative
Assembly, on the discussion of the budget They
ask, with anxiety, what would be the consequence
if any part of our political mechanism should act
imIerfectly, and thereby impede the operation of
the rest, which effect may be easily produced by the
very narrow circle in which the constitution
has confined the legislative body, where some mem
bers, feeling themselves too restricted, would be
happy to give proof of greater life and independence!
As for the external relations Of this country, am
confirmed In my previously expressed opiniou-that
there is no present cause of misunderstanding with
other governments. Far from thinking OF conquests,
France knows that her prosperity depends upon the
Development of her agriculture, commerce, and in
dustry, which alone can be promoted by peace and
she has conGded her destines. that he will close
the era of war and open that Of progress and con-
Citation.
Whilst England is disgraced by soi.disnm reli-
g0us feuds, and even with disorders more revolving
than those of 1880, slight tendency to religious
discussion has become apparent in France. You
will, no doubt, have been surprised on seeing the
columns Of some Paris journals filled with commu-
nications emanating from several of the French
bishops, on the subject of classical literature, which
mas hitherto entered into the system Of education
to the works Of Horace, Virgil Cicero &C., as i'm
compatible with Christianity; whilst others, mere
LIBERAL are favorable to the continuance Of that
| branch Of study.
In terminating my letter. shall observe that the
accounts received from the provinces represent the
| crops much less injured than we were led to expect
| from the heavy and continued rains; 50 that our
demands upon you will probably not be so great as
was calculated upon; butt In our need If IL arrive
| we shall always reckon upon the bountiful produc.
tions and sympathies Of America. SB
