Proposed Formation OF a New Party in



The Paris correspondent of the Pau Mall
Gazette, July "a, writes:-
The Revue Moderne of tomorrow is to give
the story of Nj. Emile Ollivier's negotiations with
the Court. 1t appears that the Due de Moray
was the first to make advances, and that while
the Emperor was in Algeria the Empress sent
Nj. Olivier an invitation to dine, which was
accepted on the condition that III. Olivier
should not be received as deputy by the
Empress in her quality of sovereign. A second
invitation was sent by her Majesty some little
time afterwards, and hardly had M. Olivier
been received when the Emperor entered, and
is said 10 have been much struck and charmed
at the simplicity of the theories sustained with
courageous eloquence by the young deputy.
On his side, Nj. olivier did not escape the Sc
duclive power of the Emperor. A sort OF tie
was formed and Liberal conspiracy, with M.
de MoIny at its head, was set on foot in the
Tuilleries. The plot was about to bear fruit
interreenum, Count Waewski succeeded to
the Presidency of the Corps Legislatf, and
N. Olivier was received by the Count,
who is liberal, and has an aversion to
NJ. Rouher, on the same terms as previously.
But times had changed, and the Emperor by no
means accorded the same confidence to Count
Walewski as to the Due de Morny; NJ Rouher
conversation with the Countess WaleWski, the
Emperor sent for NJ oliver, who was informed,
however, that an interview would be useless II
he did not pledge himself to accept portfolio.
M. Olivier promised, and consequently was
Minister when he entered the Emperors Cabl-
net on the 10th of January, 1867. In an inter-
view which lasted two hours, he pleaded the
cause of the press aud right of meeting; the
| Emperor yielded what was asked, and NJ. Olll-
vier was to carry out his programme with M.
Rouher if that Minister would consent, and with
out him If he would not. M. Olivier then asked
| the Emperor to give him back his promise,
| as he would be better able to defend the new
| policy just decided on as an independent de-
putty. His Majesty, little ACCUSTOMED to sqch
demands, accepted, honoring NJ. Olivier for his
| request. The new laws were some time being
hatched, and the Deputy of Paris reminded
the Emperor of his promises in rather severe
Guilty of reeasting the Ministry had caused the
! delay, which would come to an end the next
day. The 10th of January-the date OF the
Emperors liberal letter came, and NJ. Rouher
was directed to consult with M. olivier on the
| best way of carrying out the new measures.
To M. Rouher he said:-'I have four things
to tell you. First. They say wish
| to replace you as Minister of State; If you be-
lieve this, put the question to me in the Cham
Der. Second. If you are Minister to-day you
owe your place to me; If you doubt II ask the
Emperor. Third. l Will assist you without any
drriere-pensee Fourth. 1 beg you will march
in the way opened to you to-day, and not tancy
yourself bound by your resistance OF yesterday;
| that you will remember that man never con-
| tradicts himself when he does better" Such il
a brief summary of the coming explanation,
and if Nj. Emile Olivier showed weakness in not
defending the policy he persuaded the Emperor
to adopt, he has displayed wonderful a69ega-
of his Constituen nts for exhibiting rare quality

The Memorial DiplOmdtiquP, July 23 says:-
There is unfortunately only too much reason
to fear that the recovery OF the unhappy Prin
cess will be neither so speedy nor so complete
as WIS inferred from the improvement which
tOok place on the removal of Her Majesty iron
Miramar to Lacken. The Empress Is now
prey TO the most extraordinary excitement
aggravated by the excessive heat and the wan
OF sleep, to which her Majesty is subject As a
Miramar, she had an lnvinclble aversion
to every description OF food, although
she heIselt orders every morning what sh'
would like to have at her meals. She refuse
to sit at the table, and will not taste anything
unless it is offered to her by Queen Marie Henri
ette, her sister-in-law, who takes seat by he
side and feeds her like child. At bedtime
often happens that the Queen is obliged to us
her personal influence TO prevail upon the En-
press TO retire to rest.
