OUR PARIS LETTER.


PARIS, Tueeday, March q, 1st5.
The dtbatc>on the Address began ycster
day In the Corps Legislatif, under The Vice
Presidency Of Mr.. Schneider. No nomfnntl ton

been nor never would be established in
Trance after revolution ; but that revolu-
t'on would always be followed by dictator
