Political Excitement in Paris.

PARIS, Oct. 3.—The city has been full of conflicting rumors to-day in regard to the political situation. The report which gained most currency and caused the greatest excitement was one stating that the permanent committee of the Assembly would order that body to meet on the 13th inst., and that the Government officials now absent from Versailles had been ordered to proceed there immediately, but a dispatch from official sources in Versailles pronounces it untrue.
The Count de Chambord will issue a manifesto next week.
President Thiers, since his return to Paris, has received visits from a large number of Deputies of the Left.
M. Leon Say, the presiding officer of the Deputies of the Left Centre, has issued a circular calling a meeting of the members of the party on the 23d inst., and declaring in favor of a conservative republic.
The Republicans are redoubling their efforts to thwart the designs of the monarchists. M. M. Thiers, Dufaure, Say, and Perier hold a conference next week. All sections of the Left are united, the extremists promising to submit to the guidance of the moderates. The Republican journals of every shade of opinion support all candidates for the Assembly who pledge themselves to vote for the republic without regard to their antecedents. Petitions are in circulation, addressed to wavering deputies, and urging them to support the republic. M. de Remusat, at the request of ex-President Thiers, has consented to contest an election in the Department of the Garonne against the candidate of the monarchists.
The programme of the conservatives on the meeting of the Assembly will be the restoration of royalty, constitutional and parliamentary government, a redivision of the country into electoral districts, and the immediate nomination of a lieutenant-general of the kingdom.
