tricolour: streamers, and escutcheons, bearing the
arms of the city; there were also the Initials of Louis
Napoleon sarmounted by an imperial crown. The
ceders went along the Rues St. Sulpioe, Porte
Nenve, Jacques Cceur, (lustre Pikers, Baladalane,'
de la Mountie, and Porte Jaune. The Hotel-Dieu'
and the principal house of the Sisters of Charity
were adorned with wreaths of flowers and tricolour
ribbons, and with the inscription :—" To Louis
Napoleon, the saviour of families, the protector of
religion." The &curs de Charity were drawn up in
a line, and as the Prince passed he saluted them
with marked attention.

At half-past six, the cortege arrived in front of the
cathedral. Here the crowd was, if possible, more
dense than along the streets through viiiich the pro-
cession had passed. The cries, too, were somewhat
different, as with the shout of " Vire Napoleon!"
WIN intermingled that of " Vire l'Empercur !" Car-
dinal Dupont, Archbishop of Bourget', and his clergy,
were drawn up inside the grand entrance of the
cathedral, ready to receive the Prince. As soon as
the arrival of the cortege was announced, his Emi-
nence descended to the bottom of the steps at the
head of his clergy, and offered to the Prince holy
water and incense. All formal addresses being pro-
hibited, he then welcomed the Prince in the follow-
ing terms:
- - - • - - - • •

Prinee,—We wished to ley at the feet of your Imperial
Highness the sentiments with which we are penetrated
towards you; silence is imposed on us, but read in our
hearts, l'tincr, and you will there sea a devotednem and •
gratitude which can only be equalled by our profound
respect.

iho Prince replied :
Monsieur le Cardinal,—l am profoundly touched by the
sentiments you express to me. They are a good augury fur
me at the commencement of the journey I hove undertaken.
The wishes expressed for me by a prelate so di.tinguished,
and a clergy so excellent for their virtues, will bring me
good fortune.
His Eminence replied :
We are going to deposit those wishes at the foot of our
altars.

The President was then conducted in procession
to the choir, amidst the pealing of the organ. A
passage was termed for him between two lines of the
clergy, and ho bowed to them repeatedly. The
Prince knelt on %cushion prepared for him in front
of the principal altar,and the ministers, the generals,
and the rest of the cortege remained standing. The
clergy then chanted the Domine &ileum fac Napoleo-
nem, and the Archbishop recited the thymus.
After the service, the Prince left the cathedral,
and proceeded on foot, accompanied by the cardinal,
to the archiepiscopal palace, where he was to pass
the night. 'fhe Place de la Cathedrale, close to
which the palace is situated, was brilliantly illumi-
natei. Over the principal entrance to the palace
were to be seen the letters L. N. surmounted by an
imperial crown. The principal court was covered
with shrew and flowers. The bands of the .sth
Hussars and of the National Guard were present,
and played military airs during the evening. At
the foot of the grand staircase were ranged thirty-
five young girls, each holding a bouquet, which they
presented to the Prince as he passed. The President
had signified to the cardinal that he could only accept
Ms hospitality upon the condition of being allowed to
hear the expense. All the invitations to the
banquet were made in the name of the Prince. The
same rule will be observed throughout the tour. At
half-past seven the President had a dinner of forty-
six covers in the Cardinal's palace, at which were
present the Cardinal, the first Vicar-General, General
Duke de Mortemart, the Prefect, MM. Bidault and
Duranty, deputies of the legislative body, the gene-
rals of the district, the colonels of the regiment in
garrison, and several other high functionaries. In
the evening .a splendid display of fireworks, prepared
by Ruggien of Paris, was let off. Amusements of
all kinds were prepared for the public in different
parts of the town. The Place Ferancourt was the
principal point of attraction; it was brilliantly
illuminated, and in a vast tent a splendid ball was to
be given. The Archbishop's palace and the prefee•
ture were particularly distinguished for the splendour
of their illumination. The cathedral was at intervals
lighted up by Bengal fire, and the effect thus pro-
duced was magnificent.
The Minister of Police is rapidly extending his
peculiar sphere of usefulness, and the position of
such of the proscribed of December as have recently
received the questionable indulgence of permission to
return to France, becomes, in consequence, daily
more intolerable. It appears from a circular of M.
Sulean, the Prefect of the Boucherclu-Ithone, to the
Sub-prefects, Mayors, commandants of gender-
merie and commissaries of police of his department,
that, according to police reports from several depart-
ments, many of those men who, alter being removed
from their homes or their country, as a measure of
" public security" (that is, without trial or specifica-
tion of any offence), had at length been permitted
to return to France, are accused of- having resumed
their turbulent habits, and of still "professing"
anarchical opinions. The Minister of
in a letter to the prefects, has apprised them
of the determination of the government not to tole-
rate such an abuse of the " inexhaustible goodness"
of the Prince President, and ordered the exercise of
the most rigorous surveillance over all these men.
The Minister of Police is to be minutely informed of
all their piooredings, in order that the measures of
severity upon which the government is resolved may
be exercised whenever the occasion presents itself.
This means that the unfortunate men in question can
neither write, speak, travel, pay or receive visits, nor
do business without being subject to a system of
espionnage which, sided by unlimited expenditure and
modern facilities for locomotion and communication,
throws the remembrance of M. Fouche far into the
shade.

The Moniteur publishes a decree creating two new
professorships at the Conservatoire des Arts et
Métiers, one for all matters connected with
spinning and weaving, and the other for dying,
printing, and dressing woven goody. Each of the
professors will receive a salary of 5,000 f. per annum.
M. Michel Alain, professor at the Central School of
Arts and Manufactures, is appointed to the former,
and M. Perim, professor of Chemistry at Strasburg,
to the latter. The decrees come into operation on
the Ist January, 1833. The lectures are to be public
and gratuitous. By another decree the President of
the Republic approves of the statutes of the Land
Bank formed at Marseilles for the departments
situated within the jurisdiction of the Court of
Appeal of Aix.
The Minister of Public Instruction has issued an
order uniting tho Comite des Monument' Resits and
the Comite des Arts et Monument' into one body,
under the name of Comite de la Longue, de Fibs-
toire, et des Arts de la France. It is divided into
three sections of philology, history, and archaeology,
and it is charged to superintend the publication of
such works as are authorised by the Department of
Public Instruction, and to direct the researches of
correspondents. The Marquis de Putoret is ap-
pointed president of the section of history.
The Gazette des Hopitaus, in allusion to reports
that a difference of opinion existed among the medi-
cal advisers of the President of the Republic with
reed to the proper mode of treating his cue, says
it is not true that there are any parties in the medi-
cal service of the Elysee, and that Dr. Conneau is
too enlightened to be bigot td to a system. It is
with his co-operation that Dr. Fleury has applied
the " hydro-therapique " treatment, r..commended at ,
a consultation to wLich Professors Andrei and
Velpeau were parties.
The Minister of the Interior, by a telegraphic
despatch to the Prefect of the Puy-de-Dune, has
made known that the government accepts M. de
Pennantier as a candidate for the Legislative Body
in that department, in the room of M. de Morny.
The Prefect of the Lozere his announced that the
government candidate for that department is M. des
Molles, landowner at Langogne, a distinguished
agriculturist, and formerly memoer of the Constituent
Assembly.
The Tribunal de Commerce of the Seine was yes-
terday engaged in hearing the dispute which had
arisen between the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway
Companies, after the amalgamation which took place
in March last. MM. de la Pineonniere, Laurent,
and Litharches, directors of the Bordeaux Company,
demanded the restitution of a sum of about 3,000,000
francs, the amount of the reserve fund belonging,
according to their account, to the shareholders of
the Bordeaux line before the fusion. After hearing
the pleadings on both sides, the tribunal rejected the
demand.
