PARIS, SLIT/DAY EVININO.
I understand that the publication of the decree
regulating the mode of proceeding of the Chambers,
has been very ill received by a great number of de-
puties. With a still worse grace have the inde-
pendent members of the legislative body submitted
to the indignity of having their whole board, secre-
taries, questors and all, appointed by the executive.
A meeting, I understand, was held at M. Monts-
lambert's, with the view of coming to an agreement
for the appointment of the vice-presidents, secretaries,
and quested. M. de Montalcmbert himself dwelt
in this meeting on the importance of the independ-
ence of the legislative body, particularly in the ap-
pointment of its secreteuies. A second meeting took
place on the same subject at the Duke de Mooches.
Some one then suggested that in order not to give
umbrage to the government by an appearance
of opposition, application should be made to
M. de Persigny to know whether the go-
vernment would have any objection to the
exercise of this right on tie part of the Corps
Degislatif. M. de Persigny made no direct reply at
the moment, but the next morning the appointments
in question appeared in the Munikur. Bach is the
consideration shown by the government for the re-
presentatives of universal suffrage.
To-morrow, the eve of the inauguration of the
chambers, will
be celebrated by a grand review in
the Champ-de-Mars, at which the President will be
present. The number of troops will be much greater
than last:Buuday in the Place du CarronseL By the
way, I observed to-day that this immense square be-
t seen the Tuileries and Louvre has already received
the title of Place Napoleon. All the troops garri-
soned within twenty or thirty miles of Paris have
received ceders to march to the capital to be present
at this great rsvisw. The imccesmon of fine days for
some time past gives reason to hope that the life of
fetes--ameMim--may not be wanting.

The Moniteur contains a decree approving of a
convention dated March 26, between the Minwter of I
Public Works and the Paris and Strasbourg Rail- '
way Company. The conoession to that company
was for 43 years and 290 days from the 27th No- '
vember, 1855. The state has now extended the
concession to 99 years, so that the lease will not I
expire till November 27, 1954. In consideration of !
this extended term the company engages to pay 10 '
millions of francs to the Blames and Gray Company
—to whom by another decree of this day that !
branch line is oonceded. The Strasbourg Company
also engages to construct a line from Mets to Thion-
ville within four years ; and further, within two years
after the opening of the latter line, to prolong it
from Thionville as far u the frontier in the diree-
lion of Luxembourg,
_provided that on the Promise
territory the Junction lino her bizerabsisg to the
French frontier shall be in emus et emotion. If
the latter condition be set asemplhised within a
