PARIS, WWI:MOAT EVINIXO.

The Muniteur contain. the following notice:
The Prince President has risolred to remain at Stras-
bourg two or three days hooter than he had intended. lye
has met with such a virus reception from the Alsatian
population, that he has desired to testify his gratitude by
remaining amongst them some days logger.
Only one telegraphic despatch has been received
from Strasbourg to-day. It is as follows:
Strasbourg, July 21, 9, am.
The Prince has passed the night at Baden. His health
is excellent. We expect him in the course of the day. The
population think of nothing but the Prince.
The return of the trains of visitors from the Stras-
bourg fetes furnishes us at length with the details of
impartial eye-witnesses with regard to the nature of
the I'resident's reception in the eastern departments.
If the enthusiasm transmitted by the electric tele-
graph require considerable abatement to sink to the
level of truth, still all agree in admitting that Louis
Napoleon has been welcomed on this occasion with
more fervour than had hitherto saluted his cause;
and if the inhabitants of the. great centres of manu-
factures and commerce remain coldly aloof from his
banner, and strongly leavened with republicanism,
the peasantry have given in this instance a decided
proof of their adhesion to
,the name of
Napoleon. Under this point of view the
acclamations of the country populations during
the President's journey may be considered as
the external manifestation of their secret vote on the
20th of December; while the indifference of the
Parisians and Lyonnese characterises the electors
who returned for their representatives Cavaignac,
Hewn.Carnot, and
Notwithstanding the vastim-
portance of the line of railway which has just been
inaugurated, the special avowed motive of the Pre-
sident's journey is eclipsed altogether by the political
object and result. No one can doubt but the result
has been greatly to confirm his power. The object
is generally presumed to have been the commence-
ment of a fresh agitation for the empire under more
auspicious circumstances than presided at the fete of
the 10th May. The approaching distribution of
eagles to the national guard will present a new occa-
sion for imperialism to feel the pulse of the capital •
and in the meantime the successive triumphal
progresses through the cast and south may
do much to fan the enthusiasm of parti-
sans, and spread the infection of their politi-
cal religion. Another object of the trip to Strasburg
is stated to be matrimonial. I already stated long
ago that the Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden bad
been manoeuvring to win the President's hand for a
princess of her own house. It seems that this match
is a branch-design of the Strasbourg railway inau-
guration. The Moniteur informs us that Louis Na-
poleon will prolong his stay at Strasbourg for two
or three days beyond the time he intended, in order
to prove his gratitude for the warm reception ac-
corded to him. But, instead of staying at the
Alsatian capital, the Prince is gone incog-
nito a-courting at the Princess Stephanie■
chateau of Ls Favorite, in the Radish territory. The
fair object of these attentions is said to be the
Princess Caroline, daughter of Ousts% us, Prince of
Vasa, and of Louisa, daughter of the Orand-Duchess
Stephanie. The Princess Louisa wee separated from
her husband about eight years ago, and her daughter
_
Caroline is now just nineteen. I hear that the Grand
Duke has taken this singular opportunity of paying
his respects to the King of Prussia at Berlin, and we
may gather, from his thus abruptly turning his back
upon the French President, that be looks with any-
thing but favour upon the projected alliance. I also
understand that a near friend of Louis Napoleon,
' married to a Baden princess, went to Carlsruhe for
the express purpose of expostulating with the Grand
Duke upon the temerity and rudeness of his un-
timely journey to Berlin, but could by no means
move him to change that resolution. In the mean-
time Prussia seems to have done her best to honour
the President's visit to the east by sending an envoy
of rank to meet him at Nancy and accompany him
to Strasbourg. A feature not to be lost sight of in
this journey is the complete mutism of Louis Napo-
leon, who has not responded by a single official word
to all the speechifying of mayors and prefects.
Six persons were arrested at Strasbourg on Sun-
day, by police officers from Paris. This event, the
cause of which is kept secret, produced a certain
emotion. The Strasbourg people thought their own
police pretty sharp, and that they should have been
outdone by Paris emissaries has been a theme for
musk bitter ?leasantry. A podeerip to a Wier,

republicans who may think that a sense of fair play

I was yesterday enabled to send you a passage
from M. Petsigny's speech at the distribution of
prises to the artists, in which, oaths being now the,
fashion, he swore three times running that France
had the best of all possible governments. That
speech is to-day published at length. I regret to
notice in it a contemptible attack upon England.
There is no more distinctive mark of a little salad
than the propersity to enhance the value of self-esm-
mendation by having a fling at one's neighbour.
That M. Persigny should be complimentary to
French art upon such an occasion, was quite of
course. That as the representative of the exe-
cutive power he should, with all the rhetoric of
which he was master, have endeavoured to impress
his hearers with confidence in the Prince-President
as the patron of artists was the most natural thing
in the world. But what occasion had he, the lead-
ing minister of a great country, the old familiar con-
fident of the head of the state, to go out of his way
and commit his master, in whose name he avowedly
spoke, to sneer at a neighbouring nation, of which
the following peonage is a specimen :
You all know, ;gentlemen, that in the shop, in the
counting-hours, as well as in the drawir.g-room and the
cottage, moral life is everywhere with us elevated above
material life. And while with certain nations industrial
