Ths President sdU pays court to tLe legitimists.
Ho sent to tho committee of the annual ball for the
civil list of Charles X., which took place lut night
in the Italian Opera-house, his personal subseripuon
of 2,000 fr. The object of this ball is to provide old
'errants of the royal household with a portion of the
pension of which they were deprived by the revolu-
tion of 1830. The receipts were about 30,000 fr.
This, distributed among the 14,000 pessioners, would
leave them little move than 2fr. a-piece.

The nice sense of the Parisians in detecting the
ludicrous and their relish for ridicule has been
gratified to-day at the expense of M. Fortoul.
The circular of the Minister of Public Instruction
to the rectors on the subject of dress, the substance of
which has previously transpired, has bear published;
and leaves in solemn priggism the'most pompous re-
commendations of a college dean far behind. It is
as follows :
Monsieur le Ruteur,—l consider It my duty to call your
attentioo to the neosesity of exacting from all meeker& the
gravity sad dignity of dress which are prescribed to them
not only by the regulations, but by the very nature of their
functions. You will emusquently address to all the heeds
of establishments within your el:admiral district instruc-
tions on this important pant. Yon will recommend them
not to allow the professors to appear before their pupils in
an unsuitable dress, and with long Womb, and thus affect
in their external appearance manners which are not com-
patible with the character of their profession. Those
observations also apply to the teachers who, living
almost constantly with the pupils, should, by their
example, inspire them with habits of good education.
If authority wishes to be respected, it must ?evict
inelf, and show it by external signs. Singulority or caprice
in costume sashes criticism or raillery, and brings the mu-
ter into diuepute with his pupils, who cannot recognise
their teacher under the kind of disguise which an absurd
fashion makes him tee often adopt. I desire that primary
teachers in the country should attend to theft recommenda-
tions, that they should I. their dress conform to tLe tradi-
tions of their youth, and not copy the fashion of towns ;
modest and simple dins is most brooming to them, and if
they seek to make any distiatioe, let it be esly as regards
cleanliness. Siam, thanks to the energy of a reparatory
government, calm has bees restored to the pnbiie mind,and
order into society, it is important that the last traces of
anarchy should di•appear ; that oath should be in his place
and fill it worthily, and that the professor, in the
exercise of his functions, should be dressed so as
to command respect, and that at all times he
should be recognised by the regularity sad gra-
vity of his appearance. The Emperor understood things in
this light ; the motives of public order which dictated Art.
128 arthe decree of March 17. 1808, still existing in all
their forte, you will remind your subordinates of the clauses
of that article, the applies*. of which I recommend to you
for the interest el the dignity of the teaching body.

The Monitor publishes the official tabular returns
of the indirect revenue for the first quarter of 1852,
which amounts to 183,266,000 francs, showing an I
increase of 13,478 000 franc* over the corresponding
quarter of 1850, and of 6,155,000 francs over that of
[B5l.

It is assorted by many of tho papers that the
amendments proposed by the committee to the
Coinage Bill are of no importance, and are merely
limited to proposing a reduction of a quarter of a
million of francs in the grant of 7j millions do-
.manded for the expenses of the operation. This
statement is scarcely accurate. The committee has
moved ono amendment, which, if adopted, would
make all the difference between light and darkness
on the financial part of the affair. It pro-
poses that the government should insert yearly
in the budget the amount of the sums
expended in the operation, and that the Court of
Aestivate should receive also yearly the statement of
the pressed. of the sale of the old sous. Other
amemdemate segpst the expediency of increasing

The prefect of police yesterday assembled at the
prefecture the prud'hoinmes of the carriage-making
trade, together with a certain number of masters,
and tho delegates of the men who have struck for an
advance of wages, and for • diminution of the
hours of labour. He declared to the latter that
whatever might be the desire of the government to
ameliorate the condition of the working classes, it
would not allow masters to be menaced by acts of
disorder and exorbitant demands. He recommended
the men to return to their work, and to await the
result of the efforts which he promised that the go-
vernment would intik. to obtain concessions from the
masters without checking the resumption of business.
In the course of the day several of the men who had
struck returned to their work.
The I'resident has, without solicitation, accorded
to M. F. V. Hugo, son of Victor Hugo, a remission

The negotiations opened between Prussia and
France relative to the navigation of the Rhine are
actively going on. Up to this time French vowels
have been allowed provisonally to have the admin•
tago of the reduction of dues made on the Ist
October, 1831, in favour of states on the banks of the
river, but the Prussian government has declared that
that favour must wan on the lit May, as the French
government declines to accept the propositions which
have been made to it. It is especially demanded that
the German flag should be treated on a footing of
equality in the canal of Huningen.

Much excitement prevails upon the great question
of revocation to be decided on the 18th inst. The
Suisse of Berne, of April 13th, mays that the schism
in the country has become wider than ever, because
the extreme radical party, disguise it as they may,
have hoisted the flag of soc►alism.

ipelled by continued
illness to resi the ministry of the interior. To
that post Dr. hash was thee nominated, aud he re-
tained it until now, taking his full share in all the
broken oaths, in all the military and police brutali-
ties which, since December, 1848, have disgraced
the Austrian government. A more perfect
specimen of the political "rat" does not exist.
His "ratting" leas been successful, and ho is now
rewarded by the highest position in the political
ladder of the empire. But while questioning his
conduct, it cannot bo denied that Dr. Bach is a man
of eminent administrative ability. His intellect,
almost unaided,constructed the centralised machinery
by which the idea of a united Austrian empire is
now Nought to be carried into effect. It was his
wisdom and force of argument that succeeded in
maintaining, against the efforts of a united aristo-
cracy, the abolition of all feudal rights and the impo-
sition on the aristocracy of all the burdens borne by
the other classes. To his advocacy also does Austria
owe the general survey which is now being made for
tho purpose at once of abolishing the robot (serfdom),
of providing compensation for its abolition, and of
imposing a tax upon land. Giving him full credit
for the intellect to devise, and the courage to persist
in carrying out these measures, it must not be for-
gotten that their sole tendency under his ma-
nagement has been to increase the despotic
power of an absolute sovereign ; that though
they might under other circumstances have
facilitated the change from despotic to liberal govern-
ment, they now only edit to the financial burdens,
and to the efficiency—in the despotic sense--of the
military and police. Dr. Bach was chief adviser to
Prince Schwarzenberg; tending to the late minister,
with faithful subserviency, all those ideas which the
latter himself was deficient of; and by good training,
eating any amount of political dirt, lie succeeded in
transforming the once radical advocate into a perfect
lickspittlo of a despotic monarch and his chief minis-
, ter. To the pliancy of his character, to the unfelt-
, log servility ho has evinced, coupled with his really
gnat abilities, does Dr.—or rather Baron—Bach, for
he has received several orders conferring that rank,
owe his present elevation. Tho Emperor Francis
Joseph deserves the credit due for tho justice with
which he rewards good service, and the dexterity
with which he makes use of his men. Guided it
may ho by the advice of his military counsellors,
who, in fact, are the only persons whose advice is
ever acted upon, and who naturally desire the main-
tenance of a system of government profitable to them-
selves and their order, and actuated, doubtless, by his
personal disinclination to restore the old federal sys-
tem, by which considerable power was placed in the
hands of a proud aristocracy, the Emperor has gladly
availed himself of Baron Bach to fill the chief vacancy
caused by the death of Prince Schwarzenberg. It
would be wrong then to anticipate that any change
will take place in the system of government. Mili-
tary and police despotism will continue as before, the
army will not be diminished, and the hordes of hun-
gry bureaucrats will be increased; the expenditure
will not be decreased ; but efforts will be made to
increase the burdens of taxation. Austria may con-
tinue to be great and powerful abroad, but her peo-
ple will remain miserably degraded by a military
rule, under which, police brutality, priestly bigotry,
and bureaucratic immorality will flourish; the war
of races will not be exterminated, but heightened, and
the German with the Italian, the Hungarian, and
the Slavonian, will sink still deeper in ignorance and
slavery.
