      FRANCE . ( from our owa correspondent . ) Paris , October 26 . Or Friday ' evening the President went in state to the Theatre Enncafe , which was adorned with great splendour . The piece S was the " Clemence d'Auguste . " An ode , entityI # P pire c ' est la Paix , " composed for the occasion pyM ^ Houssaye , was ' recited by Madlle . Bachel , who was dressed in white . It fpas a most sickening thing to see , this great ^ tiessr ^ eMmglo ^ before the brutal despot , Bonaparte , while one remembered her enthusiastic Republicanism four years ago , when , the national banner in her hand , and the cap of liberty on her head , she sung the Marseillaise in the presence of Ledru ! Rollin . "What a contrast between the soul-stirring words of Rouget de Lisle , and the servile rhymes of the sycophant Arsene Houss ^ ye !

      I am informed that the editor of Yictor Hugo ' s book , "Napoleon le Petit , " is preparing a third edition . Of the two former editions he is said to have sold more than twenty thousand copies , and , as they axe readily bought up at lOfr . each , M . Tarride is acquiring quite a fortune by their sale . The police , meanwhile , are making active search for the " seditious" publication , as also others of the same nature , among which are , « ' Les Nuitsde Saint Cloud , " " La "Voix Mysterieuse , " and a work which , the Sikle says , is " so insulting to the Chief of the State that its title cannot be reproduced . " This is the " Crimes des Deux Decembre , " by M . Schcelcher . Tt will be amusing to see how the Decembrists will make out

      that eight million electors have rushed enthusiastically to vote for the hereditary Enirrire , -while at the present moment , do what they - will , they cannot induce anybody at all to vote . Last Tuesday an election was to take place at Elbeuf , to fill up a vacancy in the Council of Arrondissement , when , out of more than 10 , 000 electors registered , only about 1 , 400 voted . A few days since the Communal Council of Lenizeul ( Haute-Marne ) had to be elected , but not a single elector made his appearance .

      As soon as Bonaparte is made Emperor ( by eight , million "votes , of course ) , this electoral apathy will be turned to account . It will be said that the people , having voted Louis Napoleon to govern them , will have no need of further elections , and the suffrage will be abolished . You will remember that it was said Bonaparte had saved society

      quite , and had broken up all the secret societies by the " great act" of December . Yet it is curious that scarcely a day passes that there does not appear in the Bonapartist journals themselves accounts of the discovery of secret societies . M . Durand , Commissary of Police of Marseilles , is reported to have arrested twentyfive v , 'orldng men , members of a secret society , while a clandestine gunpowder manufactory has been discovered at Toulouse ..

      Two persons , named Wasse and Grigne , were last Saturday condemned to one year ' s imprisonment and 500 fr . fine for distributing " Napoleon le Petit , " the " Nuits de Saint Cloud / ' and " La Voix Mysterieuse , " these worksbelng , it was alleged , insulting to the President , and outraging public morals . I should rather say that those books , by exposing the character of the great corruptor of public morality , have exactly the opposite tendency . > It is supposed that Abd-el-Kader will come to Paris for a few days previous to his departure for Broussa . : . ...... .

      Poor Pope Pius is in a pickle . Louis Bonaparte is determined that his Holiness shall come to Paris to consecrate him Emperor ; and this is natural enough , for did not " mm pnele" also ' so determine ? Pius does not by any means relish the task , and has made all manner of excuses to get out of it ; he has even attempted to im away from Some , but to no purpose j The Prench have gOjt him fast , so that he is constrained to consent . : The civil list of the Emperor is to be about thirty millions . As

      heir presumptive the ex-King Jerome will receive two millions a year . Jerome and his son will each beaf the title of " Imperial Highness . " Algeria is to be made a -viceroyalty , with Lucian Murat for its viceroy ; and it is stated that immediately after tbe proclamation dt the Empire a new batch pf nobles will be created . The new " nobles , " with their various titled , are already mentioned . The Moniteur publishes a number of judiciary nominations , making a considerable change in the higher magistracy . This'is in consequence of the decree of the 1 st of March , which removed

      from the judicial bench judges arrived it a certain age . Some specimens of the copper imperial coinage have , I have been told , been struck off at the Mint . On qne side , is the effigy of Louis Bonaparte , with the inscription , " Napoleon III ., Empereur ; - ' and on the other is the figure of an eagle , with the words , Empire IFranqais . " . : ' Much sorrow is felt amongst our friends here about thern elancholy rencontre at Egham . Frederick Cournet was loved and honoured by all who knew him . " ' -

      An incident , showing the manner in which the Imperialist petitions are got up , has caused great amusement . M . Leroy , the Prefect of Calvados , sent a copy of a petition , containing the most ardent aspirations for the Empire , to the Mayor of Lisieux , and with it a private letter , urging the mayor to obtain as many signatures as possible . Pretending to be very innocent , ? the knowing mayor published petition , letter , and all . Leroy , of course ,-was furious , and , in the following letter to the Normand , makes a ludicrous and convulsive effort to " explain / ' what needs , no explanation : — v '" ¦ ' ' =

      " The Prefect of Calvados has to rectify a publication made by the Mayor of Lisieux on the subject of the petition for the Empire This publication , no doubt well intentioned , implies that the Adminisl tration would dictate the manifestation and the form' of-it . This is the result of an error . The Prefect has never dissimulated his belief that the re-establishment of the Empire under Napoleon III was the government called for by Erance and by all her interests . £ ut the manifestations to hasten this great event , which will assure t&e prosperity and grandeur of the country , must everywhere maintain their character of an entire initiative on the part of the communes and population . If it were permitted to make distinc ^ nons between them , it would certainly not be for the purpose of ™ ^ It ^^ f f F l he spontaneity oi the wishes of a town * S consideratlon > both by its patriotism and importance ,

      — " -U-rn ^ BeligigIJS EQUALITY . "^ -Mr .

      y are a position . They have ne received any grants or funds from the State for the support of th ? clergy , but they arein the receipt of one grant for their eccleslastic ' il educational purposes , which was conferred , and afterwards increased with the same objectas regards the Catholic communit y , and ksed upon the same unsound principle of retributive injustice as the } fo gium Donum of the Presbyterians . It will be easil y understood I refer to the Maynooth grant . I presume the Eoman Catholic body would be willing to relinquish this grant in connexion with a concurrent national appropriation of the State church revenues "

      And he farther contends that . those who seek for relio-ious liberty " must come before the legislature with their hands clean , and free from the pollution of / State grants , " this counsel being especially in . tended for the benefit of his Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen !!! THE lURDEll OF Mr . MANIFOLD . —Government have offered a reward of 1001 . for the discovery of Mr . Manifold ' s assassins . The Leihster Express of this day says-r- « Just before going to we

      press have ascert inetlihe following additional particulars relative to this tragic evenfi- ^ It appears that Mr . Morris was the purchaser of the Mountpleasant property under the Encumbered Estates Court , his brother ' s wife having been the previous owner . The purchase-money not having been lodged till after November , Mrs . Morris claimed the rent due up to that date , and the consequence was that the tenantry refused to acknowledge her brother-in . law as their landlord . In

      pursuance , however , of an order of the commissioners the land was forthwith ' cleared of the defaulters , and thus delivered up to Mi , Morris . Mr . Manifold was the person who carried the evictions into effect ; and in that , we believe , lies the chief cause of his unpopularity and subse-quent melancholy death . " Spread of « Agraman " Crime . —A Galway letter in lie £ wning Mail gives these particulars of an unsuccessful attempt upon the life of a Protestant clergyman / the Rev . David Seymour : ~

      "As Mr . Seymour waa returning home on . Friday night last in his gig , on the road from Clonfert to Lawrencetown , a gun or pistol was snapped at him . He distinctly heard the cap explode , and saw a man in dark-coloured clothes immediately ruu off in the fields ; fortunately the firearm did not go off . Mr . Seymour drove as fast as lie could , - and reported the outrage to the police at Lawrencetown . The case was fully investigated on Thursday at Lawrencetown , before Mr . C . Mtzgerald , IU 1 ; , and the local magistrates . I understand that the magistrates have recommended that a reward should be offered

      by the Government ' . The Eev . Mr . Seymour was generally liked in the locality . He had been obliged , to order one or two processes to be served for the coming quarter sessions . Coupling this outrage with the murder of Mr . Manifold in the next county , it will behove the magistrates and police to : be on the alert , now that winter is fast approaching . '' .

James Parker , Mountkearney , was on Wednesday night last burned to the ground . Tt is believed that the fire was malicious , k large quantity of flax was also consumed ' in the mill ; and we

      understand that the vigorous exertions of the men employed on the premises , with the calmness of the night , alone preserved the stack yard which contained a vast amount of the same material .
