Letters from Paris speak of the intention of the French government to discontinue the present mode of conducting the commercial intercourse with this country, and to return to the discriminating system. A party is said to exist in the country who prefer the Duke of Orleans for their Sovereign to any of the direct line, 'because they look to him not only as an enlightened liberal man, but because his ascending the throne, if by their will, would bring them nearer to the principles of the Revolution, and farther from the fact of having a king forced upon them by foreign bayonets. But there is yet another aspirant, said to be still dearer to them--the son of Napoleon.
