PARIS, October 90, 1856.
Paris again PIocaTcsu 1tf- Den,mciations Against
the Couft--EnoTm0us Increase - the Prices Of
the Necessaries of L;fe-Lncrease OF Iaration
and Spread Of Popular Discoatent- The Court
Festivities at Compiegne-The Dsbats on Sscreta-
tory Marcy's Reply TO the Protocol on Priua-
tee,ing. &c.
Again the uneasy symptoms prevail which have
classes. No sooner does the court remove to Com
piegne and inaugurate its series of splendid festvi-
ties-no sooner, it may be said, is the fascinating
eye of the arch spirit of France withdrawn, than
the demon Of mischief lifts its head again and COM
mences its strange work. Yesterday morning, when
the police began their rounds, the Faubourgs Sc.
Denis and st. Antoine were found 20 be pacarded
with the old cries, to which sone ad aitions, how
ever, were appended:-"The Injuries of Compiegne
would afford the workingmen of Paris bread for
three weeks y Murder the proprietors or they viii
murder us;'' Down with 'Bon-stTasb.'" Bon-strasb
meaning no less person than his Majesty Napoleon
Ill., whore s0briguet is derived from the towns Bou-
logne and Strasburg, where his abortive attempts
were made to obtain that empire which the folly Of
Louis Philippe subsequently threw into his lap. The
authorities on the alert and their instructions
ere to create no sensation, to make disturbance,
attempt any interference with the disafectcd but
simply to remove the offensive placards But these
are awkward signs in the body polite, and If the
state rides through without explosion IL viii have
reason to congratulate ITSELF
The fact is, the extraordinary stimulus which
has been applied for toe last five years Is now
obey ing the con mon law, and exhaustion is COM
| ing upon us. Unless, somehow or other, France
had picked up the cap of Fortuuatus, it is
| perfectly impossible for her to continue the
fiery course she has struck out. From far
and near the working classes have been gradually
cckiDg to Paris to reap portion Of the marvellous
harvest Of wages which was TO be had for the ask
/ ing. Demolition on demolition followed in rapid
ass.on and domestic palaces sprung 10 their
place by enchantment but the sons OF toll swarm
ed into the capital aster and faster and work could
not he found TO keep pace With Immigration; horses
could NOS nc procured TO transport the labor OF their
bands; in fact, the supply more than eqnalled the
| demand, great as that demand was. Wages fell,
and they who came to seek the public labor market
turned 10 the ordinary arena OF private lab r; but
The encnous price II provisions OF rent, OF all the
peceseaiies OF iiie had put the screw on here Aud
the natural result OF all this topping Oyer modest
doelings without supplying sufficient substitute,
of his suinmoning iIom the ends OF the earth

The demolition of long lines of lofty houses II
