Political Excitement Unabated.

PARIS, October 13.-Public interest in
the election is becoming manifest in the
streets. Republican comments on Prcsi-
dent MacMahon's last manifesto are very
severe. The expulsion OF Bedell, the
American, for canvassing for Menier, a
Radical Republican, At Montrouge, has
been made so much Of by the Republican
papers that the Foreign Office has ad-
dressed them a areproving and admoHitory
communication. Agents Of the London
papers are required to produce written
permits for the delivery Of their bundles
a! the station. The sale Of papers thus
depends on the pleasure Of the Govern
ment. The Daily NetpI was seized at the
post and railway yesterday.
Duke De CazeS, in speech at Libourne,
admitted no distinction between the Re-
publican party and the Communists.
