PARIS, FRIDAY, Dec. 10, lSo1
The Cons Legislatif had another stormy session
to-day. An Opposition Deputy demanded the i'm
peachment of NJ FORBADE, the Minister of the Int
nor. Scenes of violence followed such as have never
before been witnessed in the Chamber. The sitting
was adjourned amid great excitement.
The prosecution Of the Rappei was caused by a
Ebelous article written by Charles Hugo not against
him, as was incorrectly reported. The case has ter
minated In conviction and Charles Hugo has been
sentenced TO a fine of 1000 francs, with four months
IMPRISONMENT: and the publisher of the journal to
1000 francs fine and two months Imprisonment.
THE BLUE BOOK-DECLARATION REGARDING
THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL-AMERICAF RE-
LATIONs.
The French official Yellow Book has Just been pub
Ished. 1t gives favorable account of the condition
of France. and states that her relations with the
foreign powers and their relations with another
are still more amcabe since the Conference on the
dispute between Greece and Turkey was held IN
Paris. The situation of the North German Confede-
ration is nOt such as TO cause France TO change her
attitude. In Italy order is gaining ground in spite
Of revolutionary movements. The book makes an
important declaration in regard TO the Ucumenical
Council. This body" IT says, is beyond the
pale of the political powers; so the Emperor is re-
solved not to his incontestable right to
intervene in its deliberations; and through their
representatives all the Catholic powers approve this
course. The TurkOEgyptan question is reviewed,
and the efforts made TO reconcile the Sultan and the
ViceToy are dwelt upon at length. American affairs
are treated of to the following effect The advent Of
Gen. Grant TO the Presidency OF the United States
has made no change M the good relations existing
between the two nations. France has assisted the
efforts of the Washington Government 10 reGstablsh
peace between Spain and the Pacific republics; but
the sympathy shown by the United States and South
America with the Cuban rebellion has unfortunately
complicated the settlement OF the above question.
Winding up this subject the Book says The
French Government has no reason TO violate the
laws Of neutrality. The only aim Of this Govern
ment is TO develop peacefully it's foreign relations
and guard the interests Of France

PARIS, Nov 26.-Wel! The elections over, and
the four 1reconcilables are elected snd there has
been as yet, no need for Marshal Bazano TO execute
his terrible orders" As he is in command of the
troops in Paris il is extremely probable that he
ceived orders be followed IN certain contingencies
but what they WERE and whether they were bloody
and terrible or not, have, OF course no means of
knowing There is story TuDs that he visited
in person one of the barracks and in
formed the soldiers there that a terrible
plot had been discovered to blow them all
up and that he gave them directions how in case OF
an instruction IL that quarter which he said, was
likely, they were TO defend themselves here attack
there, &c, sc. But any one who has gone through
an important election term III America knows well
enough how little confidence II IS necessary TO place
IN these stories, which are produced with equal
fecuBdity in excited times by al parties. Here IN
Paris the IrTeconciables have by no means enjoyed
a monopoly in their manufacture; indeed, think ]
may say with confidence that they have told fewer
lies and indulged in far less personal abuse,lthan
their adVersaries. The only person whom they
have not spared. and against whom they have been
ready to believe every evil thing is his So
called Majesty, Louis Napoleon, Int, confess the
perhaps evil heart in cannot refuse 10 read with
enjoyment the most OF their performances IL tins
kind. As for the alleged :" brutality" confess TO
not being able TO discover It, unless II may have
been III few expressions relating TO the sickness OF
Louis Napoleon some weeks ago. But then II viii
do 10 lose sight Tor an instant OF the provo
cation which these men, and all France with them,
have received from the subject Of their Iuvectlve.
We are not 10 consider Louis Napoleon as being IN
the same category with the Emperor OF Austria or
the Pope or the Queen OF England. They are only
representatives OF certain systems and We are well
content TO fight against the systems and to combat
them with whatever good weapons come 10 hand
without touching the persons OF the men who
stand for them. But in the case OF LOUIS
Napoleon IL is vastly different. Here the fight Is
both against the system he uph0lds and against the
man himself who uphOds II. We fight against the
upStart against the rIdlcnons nero OF BOnogne ana
StrasbOnrg against the ntriguer for the Presidency
of the Repubc against Che peTureT, the assassin of
the 2d OF December; against The man VINO sent
FTenchmen into exile Tor thor hOnesty-neld OpIn'
ions; who condemned NOBLE, pure-hearted, brave
Frenchmen To the slow death of the marshes ard
forced labor IN Cayenne for the crime Of rebellion
against the Government which he had forced the
French people 10 ACCEPT at The lannon's mouth. We
fight against the man who has corrupted 70 the
measure Of his abilities and opportunities al the
springs of intellectual, moral, and political
life IN France at their sources, and VINO
ence a corruption than that of the
M0ntespans and Du Barrys, because its slime is
made 10 glitter IN the public eye under the mask OF
religion, and polish of manners more than French.
Tie personal crimes and Ohenses against So
ciety, against humanity Of this man once
enOrmity, and there Is nothing the IHeCoD-
elables can write which may not be easily read and
as easily digested. So much for the brutality Of the
attacks upOn the Chief of State. They consist
ian as can see in merely telling the truth about
him I'm a very witty way, witty when II is not ire
endous and that not by force OF rhetoric but bJ the
logical presentation of facts As for tho attacks upon
the opposing political candidates, there rs much Less
very much less of what may fairly be called personal
than with us Indeed, If j am not mistaken, there
are laws absolutely fOrbidding all reference 10 the
newspapers 10 peoples private affairs. so that pOllt
cal discussions obliged 70 cOnhne themselves 20
the political history the present and past OpnonsOf
the candidates, and TO the cODstancy and sincerity
with which those opinions are held. a law Ike tins
holds i'm leash even such mad, believing, fOdmiDg
bloodhound NJ Paul Cassalrnac the editor OF the
PAYS who is the only political writer here who habit
ually passes all bounds OF deCency III expressing
himself about the public and private life of ms OPP
pOnents who II may be explained, are all men what
ever who hold 10 any opinion which differs by so
much as the shadow OF hair from the most
slayisb abiect devotion 10 the Empire and
to the person of the Chief of State with hls wife and
child into the bargain 1t Is amusing TO read IN such
the most pondeTOus and Bunsbys articles against the
ferocty the brutality the scurrllty OF the lrrecon-
