The Paris correspondent Of the London
Times indites this amusing squib:
By this time the Prefeot Of Police must
be convinced that Shakespeare, whose an
niversary be would not have celebrated in
Paris, Is otlyiDg hid in back shop in
the Rue ST. Antoine, or wine cellar OF
Bsrcy, or skulking in the purlieus Of the
Jsrdin des Plsntes, or the Isle st. Louis
No light has been thrown ss to bis where
abouts in the reports addressed by the
lesser agents Of police to tbsi' immediate
superiors, nor by these last to the Com
missaries, nor by the Commissaries to the
Secretaire General, nor by this last to the
Prefect, for these all ascend in beautiful
gradsiion, like the rope to the man, the
man to the OF, the OK to the water, the
water TO the FIRE. etc. The only thing Of 8
tang bic nature that has been produced
were fragments Of letter, like those
found on Grace, snd said to be picked up
at the doors of the Sale Bsrthelemy,
where the popular lectures we're lately
given for the benefit Of the Poles. They
were attributed to Shakespeare, and they
excited the alarm Of the Pfefect-not
without reason, when such words as these
we're found in them :-"T The purpose you
undertake is dangerous-out Of this net
tie, danger, we pluck this flower, safety
cur plot is ss good a plot as ever was laid
friends true and cOnstsnt-Rn excellent
pIot-haVe 1 not all their letters to meet
me in arms By the 9Th OF next month
(yes. erdsyl, and are not some Of them set
forward slyeady ? Pagan rascal-infdel,
he will 60 to the King and lay open all our
proceedings" There was something, too,
about "a dish Of skinned milk" which
was interpreted as 8 most offensive allu-
sion to some high functionsry in the stste.
Witt such conclusive proofs Of criminal
design, it was no wonder that, ss the hrst
important step under the circumstances,
cemmsmorstion baIquets and plsys in
honor Of so desperate q conspiritor were
prohibited, and that strict search would
then be made after him in case he WAS
lurking in Paris. -.r.
The Chicago Times supports the Cleveland
Nominee
The factionists Of the Cleveland Conven-
ton must feel highly complimented by
he Endorsement Of the treason organ Of
Chicago, which thus pats them approving
" on the back:
'sTHE GREAT EvEET.-The great event
which we have TO announ Je this morning,
is the action Of the Cleveland Convention
yesterday, by which the Republican party
is split through the middle, the seeding
half forming q new party and taking a
new name, with Fremont and CoohTsne SIS
is candidates for President and Vice Pres
ident.
"The first question which arises in ev-
cry mind lie, which will take the lead as
The stronger party-the new, fresh, vigor
Gus, bold, defiant out-spoken, tyrsnt hs-
ting trgsnizs ion, with the Pathfinder as
lts leader, or the old, corrupt, efete, plum
der. gorged, civil liberty invading, country
destroying rump OF the Republican orgsni-
zation, with Lincoln astride. We fancy
now that there can be no lubt on that
score. VigOr will distance decrepitude in
that race"
Now look out for the newspaper organs
Of rebeldom - the Richmond Enquirer
Charleston Mercury, and the like. They
will announce the Cleveland nomination!
in style quite similar to the above. Bu
let the traitors not lay the fisttering unc
ton to their souls that this ticket Of tht
fsoionists will carry any strength with 1t
Though designed as a diversion in fsvOl
Of the copperhesds, the dodge will fsi
completely. The Cleveland ticket will no
occasion as much as q rip lie upon tn
calm, deep sea loyal feeling at tn
North, which will bear up and sustsil
President Lincoln through the war, ant
until the rebellion is finally put down, an
tn cause Of liberty is otrium phaRt 81
