IL Almost all, if not all, the special corre-
spondents of the French journals at the theatre of
war have been sent back to Paris. NJ. Achard of
the Debats, and M. Texier, Of the Steele, had
already been sent upon the Boulevards on the
Goth ult., and Nj. Dreole of the Constitutional,
was expected there before this. The police lately
ordered the French journals not to say anything
more about the battle of Magenta, and, In conse-
quence, the account which M. Texier sent to the
Steele was entirely suppressed. That journal was
reduced to excuse itself to its readers by saying,
Our correspondent has sent us such narrowing
account of the battle Of Magenta, that we think it
desirable to suppress It, not to distress readers
1t Is reported that the Emperor, in giving order
for the expulsion Of the correspondents, said
" These gentlemen describe my battles as they

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

POLITICAL VENoM-(s virulent as are too
many pens political, in our times, in their
struggles for the spois- for the abusive portion
of the political press care for little else save
the spoiIs-historical readers know that parti-
xan writers arc Ear more decent now, as gen.
sral thing, than in the carrier days OF the
Republic. when Tom Paine, Cheatem, CObbett,
Duane. and the copper-headed writer's in behalf
of Massachusetts, federalism fourshed goose
uuills. This change for the better of the public
manners Is rendered more conspicuous by an
exception to She general rule-the Philadelphia
Press newspaper, in which the editor venti-
lates his personal griefs and his private spite
against the President of the United States
through the medinn of correspondence pre-
tended to have been written from this city.
This correspondence IL as remarkable for the
unblushing character Of its sweeping ia sehoods
agssrst all prominent men suspected Of sympa-
thizing rith the present Administration as
against the President himself, who is invari
ably represented in it as about the veriest
tyrant and monstss now living outside the
walls of penitcntiosy. In view of the fact
that the public know well that the editor Of the
Press-from early boyhocd until not long since
refused both place in the Cabinet and the
| editorship of the Washingtoss Un,on, not only
virtually lived oh President Buchanan's boun-
| ty but prided himself on being the chief de-
fender of all his acts, public and private, can
not fail to draw the conclusion that if what
that editor now says of Mr.. Buchanan be true,
it certainly goes to show that there is one baser
man in the world-that editor afOresaid-who,
! while he must have known, from SO long pre-
vious personal association the real character
of his patron, for filthy lucre devoted almost
the whole of his life to making the public
believe him not only the truly greatest, but the
most conscientious and trustworthy public m an
| Of the times.
| But, in truth, while Mr. Forney's aspersicns
of the Presidents integrity, gain no creder ce
whatever with the public, who comprehend
thoroughly the motives for them, each addi-
tional one of them aired in his journal serves
to give the public a meaner opinion Of their
authorize man who knowing these alleged
facts, concealed them for years and shower ed
praises on Mr.. Buchanan for his own individra al
| profit; or, who now concOcts them against his
former benefactor to crafty his malice arising
from the latter's refusal to outrage Ameri-
can public opinion by placing him in An official
position for which his subsequent conduct,
view it in any light We may, proves him to be
| entirely unfit
