taken his departure. The report in circulation

Clond is IN the "doldrums"-nO court there this Sun

do, and that 1t is more convenient TO sit in an
easy Chair In the Tuileries with his foot

not proceed until Thursday. The reports OF severe
illness arc untrue. The Emperor presided yesterday
for three hours and half at the Council OF Minis

POLITICS.
The greater portion OF the members of the
International Society arrested some days before
the ptebisctte have been released from Mazas
after having undergone an Imprisonment of several
months The Reveu is highly indignant that the
prisoners on leaving MaZas Were cited to appear
next week before the Correctional Police, accused
of having belonged to secret society. If, says that
paper, it was necessary for the magistrates
10 have forty days to study the pieces and
build up the accusation, how can they expect the
accused to prepare their defence within less than
week. It's impossible to discover any other motive
Tor these strange proceedings except the desire to
take from the accused the guarantee OF the jury The
law recently voted by the Corps Legisatif, and
which Is now submitted to the Senate, gives to the
jury the power OF dealing with the crimes OF secret
societies. Within fifteen days, three weeks at
most the law will be probably promulgated. 1t was
