The Gazette de France OF April 23 publishes an ar
tlce in answer to those which have lately appeared
in Paris under the title Of 'LUnion Dynastique, in
the EpOQue. The writer commences by declaring
that the very same views were put forward In 1850
by NJ Emile de Girardn, with this difference that he
had given a different designation to his programme
and called 1t at one time "The Liberal Empire" and
at another .'The Empire with Liberty;' since then
that versatile writer has ceased to supDort the gov
ernment, devOtng his 'idea each day" TO attacking
THE Paris Steele of April "A replies also to the EpO
que thus:-The "Dynastic Union" recently invented
by NJ. Duvernos, has gwen rise TO discussion De-
tween the journal in which that gentleman writes
and some others. In our humble opinion arguments
on this point wasted. II there is determination
to merge the various political shades which divide
public opinion into two great opposing MASSES USE
less work will be undertaken, IOr the division has
been effected naturally by the lorce OF
those who claim liberty as an indescr rptibe
right; on the other those who consider that on
this subject, as on every other occasion, the
wisdom and wishes Of the government should be de-
ferred to- The essential point at present Is TO replace
the country in possession OF the means OF resuInng
The Paris Monde remarks on the slight interest
which the trial Of President Johnson seems to excite
in the Untel States, the whole proceedings being
marked by an almost entire absence of unex expected
incident" The French writer seems to think that
the judges have already made up their minds how to
vote, but thai the numbers are SO nearly balanced
that the final result cannot be 0reseen

The gazette des Etrangers publishes the following
from letter vii ten by the Empress Eug gnie:-l 40
not like all this noise tnat is made respecting my

The Memo iaL D5ptO3I6dttQUe repOrts-A letter
which we receive from Copenhagen states that the
object of the visit OF General d., kaasIoef to Paris
was to ask the French government whether its inten
ton to use the rlgnt OF option secured to 1t by
treaties respecting the island OF SAINT CrOiX In the
West Indies M. de Raasloefi, VINO lor u number of
years represented Denmark ut ashingtUn was the
active negOtiaor OF the cession Of the island OF ST.
Thomas to the United staIes. The right of
resuming possession Of the first named island,
reserved to France prevented the arrange
ment from being SO extensive as the state
Of the Danish finances rendered desirable.
The Cabinet of Washington was quite disposed to
purchase st. CrOix as well as the other, but wished
frs to be assured that 1t w0uu not he exposed
difference with France. The Dan sh Minister OF War
therefore commissioned TO iay before the Cabinet
Of the Tueres the desire Of The government at
Copenhagen to be informed Of its in entiOns In the
matter. According to the communication mentioned
above the General carried back with hm the asSur-
ance that the French government would examine the
question with the It deserved and that in very
short time its determination would he communicated
The suit brought by the Mont nOrency family
against the Prince dc Taleyrani-Pelg0rd, contest
ing his right bear the title OF Duke o MOntmOren
the Court of Ca5satOn In Paris an app al against
the declaration OF ncompetency made bv the Impe-
rial Court OF Paris. The court decided tnat distinc-
tiOn must be made between q name ana title; that
DEGREES authorizing changes OF the former are open
to contesaton by the parties interested; but that
on the contrary, the cOnferring OF title Is sOve-
reign act, which cannot be opposed before the judi
cal authority. In consequence considering that the
decree of the 14th May 1884 conferred not the
OF MOntmorency but the title OF Duke which Is very
different, the court rejected the appeal.
