The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with matters of no
gene- ral interest. The coalition of Timms, GUIZOT. and BARROT, IS still the subject of much speculation; but it remains to be seen how the hitherto discordant parties of which these poisons are the recognized leaders, will act in the Chamber of Deputies.
The National asserts, that notwithstanding the interference of some officers, the petition for electoral reform continues to re- ceive numerous signatures from the National Guards. M. LERMINIER, Law Professor in the College of France, has been hooted by the students, to evince their contempt of his political apostacy. M. LERMINIER was formerly a fierce Democrat, and railed at ARM AND CARREL for refusing to abolish the Chamber of Peers; • but he has since been purchased by the Court, and advo. cates the most slavish doctrines in the Revue des Deux Mondes. The National rejoices that the youth of Paris refuse to regard political profligacy in the light of a mere trading speculation.
