The Paris correspondent of the ~ y. Com

MIR Mason, our ministe. at Paris who was
seized with apoplexy ten days ago, vet lies in Il

lied, he is only rational at Intervals and the i'm
Provement which takes place from day to day is

the final issue of the disease"
The letter also state that if he receivers. he will
resign an come home. Mr.. Plat and his broth

ness of the legation.
A Geographic dispatch, dated New York, Jan

Letters received here from Paris say that Mr.
Mason was still in a critical condition.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing
from Washington, says:

his entire recovery but at the same time, ru-
NOR was prevalent among the Americans at Paris
