Paris is full of strange reports. It is said that the Duke of Bordeaux has been seen in the Faubourg St. Germain; that General Courtais is 9 Le- gitimist in disguise; that Louis Napoleon is again in Paris; that M. de La- martiae is to retire from the Government, and to be succeeded by Marrast and M. Clement Thomas, &c. • all apocryphal. It seems quite uncertain which of the leaders of the affair of Monday axe really arrested or not.
