J Pakis, Tuesday, Oct. 3Jth, 18G!),—We hare arrived at the ominous .day, but I think the oriels may be said to be already past before It' has The, Prefect ■of Police, indeed, thought hfmsdlf called itpori yesterday toisaue a notice, which was placarded all over the walls of the to wit, on the usual white official ■ broadsheet, and headed in large letters: At trovpementa! It was to the effect that “afl necessary .precautions” had Wen taken topre serve the public peace agalnst auy'lnfraction of it which .might be attempted to-day, and warning “all good citizens* against the dangers of “ imprudent curiosity,” which .might expose them,, as in June last, to “ unpleasant conxequences.” I cannot help thinking, however, that Mons. J. H. Pietri, the doughty functionary in ’question; must have issued his proclamation far more for the sake of the “ law. of the 7th and Oth of June, 1848,” against “ tumultuous assemblages,” which he quotes in snpport ofit—and the text of which, and the signatures. appended Tlie Empress of France m Attien*~K«. to it, he takes care to give in byKlngf (jeorge—JiagDlUccDt =n an aho« f r“hat^ to-day.

A great deal has been said ahont the prepa- ' rations made by the Government against the anticipated events of this morning, and it has even been ridiculously alleged that the “prisons of Paris” were being emptied of their usual inhabitants, to make room, fer other guests which were expected shortly ;to fill them. But all this is nonsense. Some preparations were, no doubt, .made ; but these axe always easy enough on the part of a government which has not much less than 100,000 men to dispose of within an hour’s call of the capital. I in quired yesterday amongst several of my own friends, who serve as officers in the National Guard/whether they had received any notice to be iq readiness; and the answer was ' that f although several companies had voluntarily tendered their services to keep the peace, if necessary, they had been told, that the authorities rip longer entertained auy apprehension of ’seriousjdisturbances. The inorairig, moreover, is wet, and the rain tails heavily; a .circumstance which always weighs upon the spirit of the Parisians, and is almost enough of itself to keep them at home arid out of mischief; or, at least, as M. Pietri says, prevent them from indulging in “ imprudent curiosity.” Moreover, they have been put into excellent humor just now by a jeu <l’esprit perpetrated by the Figaro of yes tevday, which journal, finding the official orgari silent, took upori' itself to speak for It, and actually appeared under the title of the, government newspaper as well as its owpi taldrig the precaution only of aildifig thri words: i<am‘guarantie du gouvernenumt -rthe officiai fomi by which the government profectsJto own respbn.sibiiUy this- proviso,: impttdentiy'enougb it’ must; he allowed, ac tually published a grand “Proclamation Qf the Emperor Napoleon 111. to the French people, &c., &c., - &c.,” —such as it was' rumored the Emperpr wa# about tetmajep, and eOntaining the piost magnificent promises of “lib erty,” and “freedom;”' and «co‘nstitu tional government;’’ , quite enough; and more' than : enough, ;to satisfy ’ any reasonable or Jeyen unreasonable being bn ■ these heads. ’ Some people were actually taken in by the, joke, and went aboitt asking their friends if they Mad'seen the nW.

The. thing is, of course, mere nonsense, FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE , EETTEB JTBOn PARIS. and of no consequence, except inasniuch as it lias tended to make people laugh and almost forget the “demonstration*’and all akont it. The Emperor has come back to Paris, and “ went to the opera", the same evening, as if tp show that he was quite able and willing to amuse himself, For the last few days the /ministerial papers have never ceased to in form us of precisely the number of hares* pheasants and partridges which tlio imperial sportsman has bagged to his own gun. Is this way of going on meant to bo braggadocio, I or is it indifference, or dotage, or what? It I certainly gives oflence and- causes l great irri-i tation, at a moment when the country was told that the Emperor and Us ministers had “ too. much Jto do” to allow of the Chambers meeting before the 20tli of Xovember. There seems, however, now to be a probability that this decision will be revoked, and that the Corps begislatif will be reassembled in extra- I ordinary session early next month.

Without him Italy would not now he what she is. Conse quently we must not stitie the Toice of con science and gratitude. The debt we owe to j the Emperor of the French is so great that it should have rendered eternal the alliance be tween the two nations, i Alas! the result has, been just the contrary! The reply may be made that the burden of gratitude has been too heavy to hear.

TJHE CAJIPAICS IST Mississippi. Contlnct of the Hebei Democracy* 4>. Correspondent of the Memphis Post, wntnig to that paper from Jackson, Missis sippi, under date ot November I, says : . Tiie canvass in this State is getting hotter every day. On Saturday last Colonelß. C. Powers, Republican candidate for LieutenantHGov entor; General A. Alderson, Colonel _E. Stat , fora and others, addressed a .meeting at Btohnesville, in Pike county,., It was theSrst Republican meeting held m the place, and. being oftensiveto,the chivalry; a nnmhet'of . them assembled to break it' tip. 'Had not the Republicans largely • outnumbered- these chivalrous supporters: of Bent the meeting would undoubtedly have been broken up? . prohably . at the cost of much bloodshed. As it was, the Ku-Klux Bentites contented _ themselves with merely. raising such howls and rebel yells as' to entirely drown the words of the sneaker, and such other exhibitions as are suited to the high toned gentlemen by whose rotes Judge Bonis Dent hopes to be elected Governor of Missis sippi. Pistols were .freely drawn, and all manner of insults given and threats made. One of the speakers aUnded to Abraham Lin coln,when curses loud and deep were hurled upon the memory of the great martyr by the vile wretches,-and cheer after cheer rent the air torJ. Wilkes Booth. The campaign, on the part of Dent and his supporters, has been characterized throughout by the most reckless , lying, and wilful misre presentation. It has been repeatedly pro claimed by their papers and re-echoed by their speakers on every stump, that the Dent move ment had the support of President Grant. Since the emphatic declarations of the Pre sident in regard to this have been pub lished, Dent has tried to qualify the assertions. he made, with no other effect, however, than to convince all reasonable peo ple of his utter want of principle, atid gard of truth. The statement recently pub lished that Mississippi Republicans have asked to have the election postponed, and that three- ■ papers have hauled down the Alcorn ticket are but links in the chain of falsehoods which Dent and his satellites have been industri ously forging, ever since the campaign, com menced. a Irom every quarter of the State come, cheering reports of, the growing strength of the Republican ticket- Kcpublican speeches have been made in ! several localities where none were ever made before, and the organi zation'of the party is , getting move efficient every day. The registration and election or der has been promulgated by Gen. Arnes.' The revision of the registration lists com mences ori 'Tuesday, the 16th inst.and con tunics live days.

He made a speech recently, at Exeter Hall, before the Society for Promoting Christian Itnow ledce, and expressed a hone that booksjof a ‘‘solid character were taking the place of pe nodical . literature. “I hate newspa pers,” said he, ‘‘and if there had been newspa pers in St.. Paul’s time he would have hated them tob,” Strange to say, he lielieves newspapers to be “the most, injurious ,things possible,” not because they contain what is bad, but because they! don’t contain anything. “They often tell you tilings thrt. you <toirt want to know, and when a man comeshome and says ‘There’s nothing in the papers,’ he- is * often near the troth. For instance the London papers .told us what Archdeacon Free inan thought . about periodical litera *l.lre. Magazines, he said, are “mere rub bish-holes, out ofwhich you can’t find any thing that you -want. ‘There is 1 nothing solid m them.
