NEWS 0? THE WEEK.

• THE Emperor of the French has allowed the Tribune to be re- erected in the Corps Legislatif. As it was taken down be- cause it gave individual speakers too much importance, Paris fancies the Emperor intends to explain his decree in a parliamen- tary sense. It seems certain that he considers M. de Lavalette too reactionary, and has himself liberalized the law on the Press to be submitted to the Chambers. The necessity of asking per- mission to establish a paper is, for example, to be ended, and the multiplication of journals only prevented by the heavy pecuniary -risk. A second letter explaining the first is expected on Sunday week, but the grounds for such expectation seem very vague.
