PARIS, Feb. %. 1866.
You. who are happy enough to live in free coun-
try wiz, perhaps. be often surprised, in reading
my correspondence, at the trifes which now Occuny
the attention of the French Yes the peonIe who in
IioS maze the great revolution, are now much upon
par with the inhabitants of small village content
to spend their time in discussing subjects Of very
ond3ry Importance.
viii begin by talking to you of the Fnneror,s
speech in answer to the address of the Senators
Inese opllgng old gentlemen must have been rather
taken aback at the same for with their habituaI SER
Witty they found all that their master had said IN h
excellent, and approved his reactionary views The
he now talks of liberty, and OF crowniSg the edifce
to the great stupefactiOn of the Senator'S much as
tonlshcd at his sudden ,oheel about.
some time back told You that the decree Orderin
the cutting up Of the splendid garden of the Luxem-
Daurg had caused great sensation in Paris. The pc
titonS sent in to the Emperor requesting that the
beautiful grounds should not be touched, were so
numerous that His Majesty has given way and
note informs the public, through the Monheur that
the Luxembourg will not be touched.
THE PROJECT OF ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY,
p The debates on the address will begin on Monday
1t IS reported that they will be dull enough but not
so dull as those in the Senate, aShe Deputies will
make feeble attempt to urge the Government to be
alttie more lenient and grant an extension to the
people and to the press. The paragraph relating TO the
Roman question shows that there is an evident de-
sure to the temporal power of the Pope maintained
NOW that It is pretty sure that we shall have no war
with the United States the Roman question seems TO
t, nc AGAIN on the tapis We in Paris, look forward
Wlth much interest to the debates in the Chamber
and those Deputies who are desrous of being re-
elected IN lS59 will no doubt make great show of
GouraRe In Saylng a few unpleasant things to NJ dc
his own way.

COUNT BIsaiARK AND THE PRUssIAS PEOPLE
- You know that Count Bismark has had several
Deputies of the Chamber prosecuted for speeches
made in the PrusSan Parliament the has
been perfect storm of indignation in the Prussi9m
capital a meeting of more than four thousand citi-
zans took place few days ago to congratulate Herr
Won Graben, and the member of the opposition for
having protested against the ilegay of the act of
the government. Herr Won Graben received the
deputation and assured it of his determination to
agitate always in constitutional manner,) until
perfect liberty of speech be granted to the members
OF Parliament. Count Bismark, instead of rejecting
on the consequences of his unconstitutional conduct
IS getting every day more rabd; his anger knows no
bounds, Tor he is hunting down the press in the most
senseless manner even prohibiting the papers from
making any comments on the debates in the Chamber
THE ENTENTE CoRDIALE BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND
PRUSSIA.
1t is a low ebb between the two German rivals
The unfortunate question Of Duchies, which Count
BISmark made such clever use of to deceive the
German people, has now turned against him. Austria
which at first allowed her PruSsian ally to have lis
own way begins to show its teeth now that it can
reckon on the support of the Magyars. The Prus-
sian premier has at last given up every hope ofswal
loving up the Duches and proposes state Of things
something analogous to the situation of Hungary
and Austria is equally adverse to such measure
France VIII support Franz Joseph and Bismark will
see himself in face Of perfect coalition 1t is hoped
Tor the welfare OF Germany that there viii soon be
an end to this state of things which are most pre
dclai to commerce! and suspense is the order Of the
day. and the question our lips is what neXt2
ITALY on THE VERGE Of RUIN.
As the Italian ministry has now resolved not to
disarm it is obliged to levy fresh taxes in order to
keep up an immense army; the peonle are now be-
ginning to grumble, and find that the long promised
unity costs too dear. There has been quite hub-bub
amongst the hackney coachmen of Naples, whom the
municipality wished to force to wear kind of livery
for which they were to be charged five francs Bri-

PIECE OF EXCELLENT NEWS.
Allow me 10 terminate my rather gloomy episte
oy piece OF news which cannot fail TO be of interest
to the whole universe. The sultan has definitely ap
proved of the treaty concluded between the Noeroy
OF Egypt and the Suez Canal Company The TimCy
says that it IS thanks to the activity of Nabar Pascb
that this matter has been brought to happy con

present save that the arch traitor Prm has been or
gai IN consequence OF his revolutionary declarations
issued from Lisbon. Prm has gone to seek shelter
from the English, he is at present in Gibraltar.
49, TRICHINE.
The lovers Of pig meat have, been thrown into
STATE OF great fright this we1k by an article in the
trichino had occurred in iiUy, on the Meuse in Bel
gium in consequence OF bad pork having been eaten
by the inhabitants of that town. The French Gov
ernment Immediately sent MessrS Depech and Ray
more, two medical men of note to enquire into the
matter. Were the maady to show itself in Paris il
would be matter of great seriousness, as the con
sumption fpork is equal to butchers meat amongst
the working population ofthe capital.
We are threatened with another pague-l mean
the speeches to be made at the reception Of Acadc-
mlcians, which are always to the time the
cessor Singing te praises OF MS predecessors. Mons

THERESA AND THE BRACELET.
DO not let 1t be said that the arts ara not encour-
aged in France, for Mad'lle Theresa the diua Of hg
cafe concert, who sang q few days ago before the
Empress, has received a magnificent bracelet from
the Empress, valued at three thousand francs 1t
pity that so much money should be squapdered OF,
second rate ortsfes when so many of merit are neg
ected. There is a talk of immense Internation.l
Theater, which is to be built for the Universal Exhi
bllon, IN which performances will take place in sew
eral European languages.
