Writing IRON Paris, July 7s, the correspondent
OF the Pdt Mo. Gazette eays;-
The corp, LeRslatf, after session OF inor-
dinate ler1 gth terminated It's iabors this evening
oy Voring the new loan. After haggling for
som1 time about the amount, the committee
AID the Government at length came 10 terms;
the Government wanted A0, 900 900 francs, the
committee would ut first only report In favor OF
All o. 1000 fraBcs, bat at last consented TO
AIS, 900 600 francs, which sum Is now added
TO the consolidated debt. 1t is OF course
an open question whether these additional mil.
lions will cover the deficits OF previous budgets,
and there Is nothing to show that the Govern
ment IN future will be able to pay Its way.
During the session the Corps Legislatif, besides
this State loan, has authorized q certain number
of departments and towns to borrow 40 600, 600
francs, and in fact, the method of paying debts
by means of loans appears to have passed into
the customs Of the French. Since 1852 the
sun raised under various pretences amount to

the Press.
La France Of July 28 says:-we cannot com.
preheDd what wretC he'd pleasure the opposition
can take In continually recurring to It's Mexi-
can expedition, in constantly giving utterlnce
10 the same complaints, and indefinitely casting
the same reproaches in the face OF the Govern
n ent and the Chamber, the responsibility of
which body cannot in this case be separated
from that OF the lett fraction ITSELF Has the
time not at length arrived to put an end to
these truitless recrimuations, and to speak of
this glorious fault concerning Mexico as his
tory will do? Here was no, question of
very honor of the Government. The
latter was no longer charged with want
OF foresight, but with want OF probity, and the
attempt was made to mix it up with the most
shameful speculations. M. Jules Favre, in giving
for the fifth or sixth time the history of the
Jecker claims, in collecting and condensing the
most regrettable allegations in order to repro.
duce them impreenated with his irony and his
bitterness. in lnsiuuatjnp that the Rwnr0 Of
France had been drawn In support of suspicious
monetary demands, NJ. Jules Favre we say, fur
nlshed to M. Rouher the opportunity OF crap
pling with the calumny and of crushing it once
for all by the eloquent energy of his words and
OF bis conscience
The Temps, the Auenu National, and the
Gazette de France enter upon discussion re-
specting the legitimacy of the Jecker bonds, on
the various ARRANGEMENTS which have since
intervened on the labors of the MeSican Com
mission, etc. The Presse thus commences it's
observations-We do not remember any sitting
wasted in vain talk SO greatly as was that of
Saturday.
The Paris Uniuers says much the same thing:
This sitting may afford some specimens OF
speaking; hut it scarcely eleyates either the
national dignity or Parliamentary glory.
The Yribuiattons OF "La Lsntsrns."
The Paris correspondent of the London Neaos,
writing on the 9th of July, reports the proeress
OF the struggle between the Lanierne newspaper
and the Government thus:-M. Henri Rochetort
has adopted M. Emile Olliviers advice, aid
determined to try conclusions with the Gov
ernment in court OF law as to his liability to
print the oppressively long comnauntque which
III. Pinard has perversely served him with. This
determination Is not announced in the
rev number of the Ldnterne, which
merely says the subject is under con-
alteration, but in a letter to the papers.
to insist upon the insertion of reply to any
article in which his name may be mentioned If
lot more than double the length of the article
itself. No limit is laid do 8n as to the leogth of
a government con1nuntqle, but NJ. Rochetort
submits that the courts must find one unless
they would condemn the law itself as against
reason and impossible of execution. His little
red covered weekly publication contains sixty
pages. The Minister of the Interior thinks it
good Joke to ask him to insert a communlQue
which would I'LL As of those pages. That is
simply confscation. The comnluniqLe consists
OF a full report from the Moniteur of debate in
the Senate upon petition complaining of NJ.
Saudon's confinement Ia a mad-h ouse. Ii
M. Rochefort is bound to submit to this he sees
no reas on why next Saturday the Minister should
not send him the Memorial de Sainte Helene"
in six volumes, by way OF a connaurique in an
might be followed the week after by the Ellis
tory of the Consulate and the Empire" in
twenty-five volumes. M. Rochefort calculates
that in stamps, paper, printing, etc.. 1t would
cost him 7000f. to publish NJ. Pinards conneu-
n'que. He naturally prefers running the risk Of
incurring the maximum fine of 1000f. for refus-
IL the insertion, and IL Is the Minister'S fault
that, by a reductio dd dbsurduln, it is shown to
be seven times more profitable to set at defiance
an imperial law than to obey 1t.
