The visit Of william Of Prussia has been the leading
topc OF interest in political circles while the Paris
and London journals havo had grand time OF IT, the lat
Tor writing insulting leaders apropos Of tho visit and the
Former announcing in hostile aggressive
as to astonsh those wish for continuance OF tho
Ango-Fronch alliance
The fact is France-or should say Napoleon III ha,
no'r isolated England aud he allows great license 10 tho
governments official aud semoflcial organs lie VIII
now give back insult for insult, bitter nvecyes by
bitter nyectiycs. lie submitted during many long
years to the unroanded attacks of the English
press, and the day has come when no may
be Will not be slow 10 do Tho truth Of these remarks
you WI appreciate when you receive your French and
Egish nls.
Bat matter Of graver import than English ytupcra
toh now occupies the attention OF Napoleon H. The
wheat crop has failed in France and the price Of bread
now ten sous poandan increase OF four to five Sous
over he usual price III Paris The result has bean meet
mgs o. angry wormcn, who have used rotpus language
several OF whom have been arrested. They have plenty
or work and ready ray; but the Paris workman is most
nnc nnpromsing individual. He feels his power, and
without fear, he uses It, He growis and grumbles and
nocepts all that is done for him by the government
lawful due Put UP the price OF bread h. at once
threatens revolution talks oil past events and boldly
necessities Of life The result is that Napoleon H. who
well knows the disposition Of the masses and who has
always done all for them be could makes The State give
the bread at the usual price and pay the logs Thus
the present tme tho city is paying lenst million 81.
francs month 70 keep bread the advanced price
Of ten sous. The peocsay they won't stand that and
suppose the State will have to submit TO sti greater
less
The Haiifear and Coatusgane, pibsh each day notes
intended TO reassure the poruace but their
out limited while the commercial classes frightened
10 hear that the Bank OF France has made a still greater
reduction 81 rs specie eighty millions being now tue re-
duction since last month.
The Paris journals have Of dared TO refer TO
they tell their side Of tho story ascertain tie
other before making up opinion The authorities here
were proceeding in most violent manner arresng ID
rioters when orders from Com piegnc treat them
Inley. and make extraordinary displays of strength
but TO let them below and say whatever they chose
ms was more successful, and when the workmen saw
that the gendaraes only laughed them made no or
rests, and took the whole affair gooi paturedly Their
stopped their clamors and everything now seems anje,
enough Bat the fire is not out but smolders The least
error may cause an outbreak that might result ter
ribly. -
The Minister Of the Interior has gra,hed us b. keepinr
pack wholesale the English journals with the notable ex
ception Of the London Post which at present es much
an organ OF N. de Persgny though he owned it, Rnt
with the usual stupidity u such measures while keepng
out the English papers, tho employees of the Interior All
lowed the Irish, well German iolrnas TO come ii
and so we had the benefit q what tbs obnoxious london
press had published.
Nothing newto'rhnynunicaie upon Italian aTtrs fyal
DIM has driven out The brigands, and we may Lcpc to
hear less OF Francis II. ana his hired assassins
