To the Editor: The shameful behavior of the press in its treatment of Governor Carey and his new wife is an embarrassment. Even backfence gossips have the decency to whisper. How about it? Give them and the public a break and get back to writing news worth reading. KEVIN COONEY, Montrose, N.Y., April 20, 1981

Two phrases sum up the political battle that will be conducted over the next two weeks between President Valery Giscard d'Estaing and Francois Mitterrand, the candidate of the French Socialist Party. One phrase is the slogan on a Socialist poster: ''Change? Or 14 Years of Giscard?'' The other was heard all over town today; for instance, in a statement by Roger Chinaud, an aide to Mr. Giscard d'Estaing: ''If Mitterrand is elected he will need the presence of Communists in his government.'' The two phrases suggest why the May 10 runoff election between the two largest vote-getters yesterday offers a crucial test of the French Fifth Republic. The institution erected by Charles de Gaulle - a presidency with a seven-year term and powers unequaled in any other democratic Western nation - was designed to give strong government to a France weakened by continual political crisis.

The politics of the budget will dominate Congress in the next two weeks as the House and Senate choose from myriad politically tinged economic assumptions that have been translated into three budget proposals in an effort to effect a fundamental change in the nation's fiscal policy. Almost lost in the debate surrounding the three and a fourth, President Reagan's original budget, is the virtual certainty that with whichever plan is enacted Mr. Reagan will obtain at least 75 percent of the reductions he wants in budget proposals for the fiscal year 1982, which begins in October. One of the three Congressional budget proposals, the plan of Representatives Delbert L. Latta, Republican of Ohio, and Phil Gramm, Democrat of Texas, totally accepts the President's economic assumptions and hews closely to his budget. The second, by the Senate Budget Committee, accepts most, but not all, of the President's economic assumptions and his budget priorities.

International A foreign-policy difference between President Reagan and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. was disclosed by White House officials. They said that Mr. Haig did not reflect the President's views when he said Saturday that Washington would impose a total trade embargo against the Soviet Union if it invaded Poland. A spokesman called an embargo ''one of many options'' that the President could choose. (Page A1, Column 1.) The Administration was rebuffed in an attempt to end Congressional restrictions on American military aid to insurgents in Angola. By a 7-to-0 vote, a House subcommittee backed retention of the restrictions. (A3:3-6.)

International In the French election's first round, President Valery Giscard dEstaing took a slight lead over Francois Mitterrand, the Socialist leader. Jacques Chirac, the Gaullist candidate, and Georges Marchais, the Communist candidate, lagged far behind. The preliminary vote that eliminated eight other contenders from the May 10 runoff was so close that it was impossible to give either the President or Mr. Mitterrand a decisive lead. (Page A1, Column 6.) Israeli planes raided suspected Palestinian bases in southern Lebanon, while Syrian forces heavily shelled Christian villages and military positions in the strategic Bekaa Valley and around Jebel Sannin, a mountain east of Beirut. Lebanese authorities reported that 15 people were killed and 30 wounded in the Israeli attack. A Syrian military spokesman said that Syrian planes shot down two Israeli craft and that a Syrian plane was hit. Israel denied that there had been an air fight. (A1:5.)

The Daily News and The New York Times reached full agreements yesterday with the photoengravers union and two machinist unions, but talks with the Newspaper Guild were snagged on a critical issue of dual pay rates. The guild, which represents news, advertising and clerical employees, has threatened to strike at 12:01 A. M. tomorrow if there is no agreement. At The New York Post, with which the guild is bargaining separately, there were reports of some progress in talks that ended in the late afternoon. Negotiations with The News and The Times continued last night at the Doral Inn. The guild has not as yet designated the newspaper or newspapers that it would strike.
