PARIS. TUIEDIT EVIMING.  The " five" late deputies have been reproached for addressing their oonstituenciee only in a joint manifesto, recapitulating their parliamentary labours for the last six years, whereas many members of the liberal party think they ought individually to make a "profession of faith." The omission complained of is to-day repaired, for his own part, by K Jules Fevre, the moat important personage of the "five." His address to the electors of the fifth circumscription is in the following terms : My dear fellow-citizens,—lt is net a profession of faith which I address to you ; you do not ask for one, and I have no need to question you about your sentiments. A strict solidarity unites us in an ardent and profound love for our dear country. We admire its industrial brilliancy, but we rank above that, its generous instincts, and its dignity. We would see our country powerful, respected, glorious, and therefore free. We believe it capable of governing itself, competent to be mistress of its own destinies, and to 'pond its blood and treasure for itself. We claim for our country the application of the eternal principles of right, justice, rod individual independence, which in our eyes are more fruitful ►zed more saving than that factitious order which is established by compression and silence. It is our common faith in these ideas which unites, sustains, and aggrandises us. It is that faith which has supported my friends and myself during the last rig years. Our adversaries laughed at oar isolation ; bat you were with us to contradict them. Your hearts beat responsive to ours ; the same spirit, the same sacred hopes filled and warmed them. Proud to be your delegates, rewarded for your efforts by your approbation, sure of your affectionate encouragement, we found it cheap and easy to suffer official contumely, convinced as we were that you in your secret souls avenged us by your esteem. The work is now to be continued; we must every one of us oonctir with calm and virile energy in the accomplishment of a great duty. None must remain neutraL Every opinion deserves respect except that which commits suicide by abdication. To abstain is to degrade oneself, to proclaim one's indifference to the fate of the country. I have nothing of that kind to fear from you. I have not forgotten your patriotic zeal and courageous eelfdenial in difficult times. You proved then the value of the understanding of your rights and the resolution to make use of them. For my own part, dear citizens, I cannot dissimulate the patriotic joy and pride which I feel when I see the pacific and legal movement which now agitates and vivifies France, for I feel that it is due to you. Your example has awakened men's minds from their slumber. You have shown the value of action and speech. You did not despair ; and that will be your praise in history ; for that, we, your elect, are eternally grateful to you.  Juice FAcRE.  The Memorial de Deuc Sevres is prosecuted with a view to its being suppressed for having published an electoral address of Dr. Morin, which is alleged to excite to hatred and contempt, dm _ _  : Seven prelates, the Archbishops of Cambray, Rennes, and Tours, and the Bishops of Metz, Nantes, Orleans, and Chartres, have published a long-winded reply to inquiries, which they say have been addressed to them by their clergy and several catholies, relative to the coming elections. They are decidedly against abstention, and with much circumlocution and many protests that they are free from all party ties and prejudices, they recommend their friends to vote for the temporal ' power. The Bourse was agitated by a rumour not yet confirmed of the dissolution of the Prussian chamber. Rent. fell 30c. for cash and 25c. for account ; and Mobilier, 22fr. 60c. The Cologne Gazette announces that the duel between Count Wielopolski and Count Brunetti has been postponed to June 1, by mutual arrangement. The encounter is to take place on the Swiss territory. This affair which, having been so much advertised beforehand, it is reasonable to hope may prove harmless, arises out of Prince Napoleon's speech in the Senate on Polish affairs. Count Branicki, an intimate friend of the prince, is ready to avenge with sword or pistol an answer to that speech published by the Polish governorWielopolski. It is the son of the latter who proposes to meet Count Branicki.  Yesterday evening there was a ball at the Tuileries, which had twice been put off in consequence of the indisposition of the Empress ; it will doubtless be the last of the season.  Madame Tacheron de Ligny, a great granddaughter of the famous French Admiral Jean Bart, died in Paris a few days ago at a very advanced age. She was in the enjoyment of a pension from the Ministry of Marine, to which the Emperor has latterly made many additions from his private purse. This lady leaves a daughter (the wife of M. Urban Demur, eon of a general of the first empire), who is now the sole living representative of the most famous sailor in the annals of French history, the man who, in 1694, ran the English blockade of Dunkirk, with a large fleet laden with grain, and thus relieved a famine.
