(From the hpecial Correspondent of the Sumap/wrc da Marseilles. Paris, 20 th May. Politics have again taken the chief place, and have for a time thrown all electoral questions into the background. I have not for a. long time seen public opinion of so sombre a hue as it was this afternoon. But let us go in ordor, and begin at the beginnins. This morning, about nine o'clock, I proceeded upon my usual daily round, gleaning here and there my harvest of news. On all sides I was assured that the political hori3on j was perfectly serene, and that there was nothing at the moment to be feared. I rested in content upon these optimist views, until going at two o'clock to the Bourse, I found ail the Funds in entire disarray. The Rente, which closed yesterday at 69.65, had fallen at one stroke to 69.35, being a lowering of thirty centimes. The cause of this unexpected an/I inexplicable fall is to be found altogether, as it is s;iid, in political news that has arrived. In the first place, a coup d'etat in Prussia was spoken of. The German bankers affirmed that they had received despatches, and they sold out on the faith of these mysterious "documents. A panic was quickly the result of these operations. The Prussian coup d'etat consisted of a simple dissolution of the Chamber. I made inquiries more or less everywhere, in order to know what to believe. At the Prussian embassy, nothing was known ; and the Havas Agency, at four|o"clock, had receceived no despatch confirmatory of those rumours. Nevertheless there is never smoke without firt-. One of the rumors that has caused the greatest uneasiness, is relative to Puebla, bad news is said to have arrived from Mexico ; and here, I believe, I have warrant for saying that this rumor is not without foundation. I have been assured that special correspondence has arrived here that is veiy far from endorsing the hopes that have been conceived here. Our soldiers have demolished some additional blocks of houses, and destroyed a church, but by the latest news received by the Government, nothing decisive was known. However, it is thought that the Moniteur will, to-morrow, give us some details upon the subject ; and, beyond this, we shall have the arrival of the steamer at Southampton, on the 28th or 29th with certain intelligence.
