PAEls, TUESDAY, Dec $, 1sf5.
Thefollowinr scmi-o otIclal paragraph, signed
Donltacc, appears in this mornings Lonst;i,s-
fio1he(.:
1.-The 5oarnals speak OF The arrival in Paris Of
Gep. Schoaeld, said TO be charged with a mieslou
by the President or the EEited States. We can
positively state TINT the French Government has
received no Communication on this sub]ee,, nnd wc
believe the nc,ss TO be devoid OF foundation
The wording of this paragraph Is manifest
u insufficient to al!ay the curiosity which,
inquiries the reason for the arrival In Paris OF
s1,cli q considerable parsonage as Gen. Sclo-
field. There he is at the Grand Hotel, ut.
tended By suite which includes two nils-ilc-
camp, Of whom one Is General. If the Con-
about his mission to Paris Is unfounlcd, 1t
would have said so in clear terms, and have
declared that he was merely at the Grand
Hotel Ike SO many other pcrsonaSes Of note,
for the purpose OF making a holiday.
But this is far from being The case. I
deliberately commit myself to the opinion,
founded upon various indications, that
General schoiIc1d has a political mission here.
It is perfectly true, as tho Constitutional
says that the French Government does not
(oGeiat1y) know anything about It, and Gen.
SchoGcld has not yet been presented by the
United States Minister, either to the Emperor
or to n. Drouyn de L'Huys. It may be that
having .'unotlfcially'' sounded the disposition
Of the French Government, he may ultimate
Iy not think it expedisnt to net upon his dis
cretlouary instructions. But that he is au-
thorfzcd to make Important political com-
munications, should he judge It eIpcdlent to
do go, is fnct Of which / have no doubt
whatever. With these few predatory remarks,
I subjoin few observations on the subject
from the French evening papers.
The France, more cautious than the Con,fi-
tutionnel, says:
1--WE think &c may afI!rm that no ofleIal notih-
cation has yet revealed the existence Of this mis-
tson."
We read in the Ttaps:
