PARIS, SATURDAY RTIRINO.
The Pa'rie, ministerial evening paper, which I
send you, begins its sheet withjuWation at the rite in
the feeds, 65 centime* on the Fives, and 50 centimes
on the Threes. As soon as it was known tnat Louis
Nap .iron and General Changernier were together in
a bux at the opera, people hastened to buy, and con-
fidence was restored.
To-day, opportunely for the President to try the
effect of his prominciamento upon the population of
Paris, there was a great ceremony, being the installa-
tion of the magistrature or judges in the Palace of
Justice. Upwsrda of three thorteand tickets were
distributed to persons anxious to witness the cere-
mony. Louis Napoleon went in the uniform of
• general of the National Guard, bat more precaution
seemed to be taken fur his safety than his popularity.
Ile was strongly escorted, and the pusege of the
bridges stopped for the time. The President repaired
to the newly-restored Sainte Chapelle, where mass
was said by the Archbishop of Paris. A chair was
placed on the left of the altar for the President, and
a chair on the right for the Archbishop. After mass
the President and those who asaisted at it repaired
to the great hall of the Palace of Justice, which
has been also newly decorated. M. Ronher, the caw
Minister of Justice, and keeper of the seals, said:
" Moesieur le President—The chief. of the magis-
tracy of France are now for the first time seated in
this hall." M. Itouher went on to my, that the
fittest person to have presented the great law officers
to the elect of the nation would have been M. Barret,
the late Nlinister of Justice, " accompanied now in
his retirement by the affection of the magistracy and
the veheraeion of France." After this compliment to
his predecessor, M. Roaber reminded his audience
that on the first bunt of the revolution the irremova-
bility of the judges was considered incompatible with
republican government, and was done away with. But,
atter the election of the present President, the judges
were declared irremovable. This was doing merely
what the great genius, Napoleon, had done. The
magistracy was now assembled to receive this fixity.
It came not to make any personal oath, which grati-
tude rendered none , but to swear to maintain
the sacred deposit eoeftsraws.
Toe Garda des Smuts was followed by M. Fortelle,
President of the Court of Caseation.

The l'resideat of the Republic spoke u follows :
Moonire,-1 ea happy to fled royal( this day in the
midst of you, melding over a solemn coremony, which, in
riconotitutiag the magisvery, USW,. a groat principlemeat ntadly moored. In agitated epochs, when the notions

After alluding to the oath about to be taken, the
Free dent bade the msgistrates return to the depart-
meaty with the conviction that the country had
emergi d from the era of revolution to enter upon that
of amelioration. The code would KAN to ride. It was
time fur the well-thinking to be re-assured, and for
those who have been in the habit of putting their
opinions and the'. passions in the place of the national
will, to resign themselves to a titter rank.
You will perceive that there were one or two im-
portant and pointed passages in this dimness. On
,ghe whole, I think, my letter of Thursday gave a
p,-etty correct view of the state of things. The Pre-
mt. by the dismissal of his old ministry and the
appointment of new men, has taken up a position
from wheats he can treat with the majority. Nor
has bit' bold attitude failed of producing the desired
effect, toe from what I learn of the sitting and dis-
cussion Which took place last night in the club of the
Ceased J plot, where the conservatives meet, the
general disposition was to yield, not to quarrel.
I em sorry to say that what the President insists
on, and what he quarrelled with Barrot and Dufoure
for not doing, was not so much any particular policy
with regard to Rome, es to the Presidential letter
about Rome—what the President wants is : first, an
increase of salary ; secondly, a prolongation of hie
tenure of power to ten years. The increase of salary
be will evidently wring from the majority, and the
prolongation of power will follow, or will at least be
promised. But this does not advance the President
with the popular pa?ty, and by no means Mures
their vote. For every day the Assembly and the
country diverge from each% other's opinionsmore and
will
by However, the President gain character
by having changed ministry, imposed another on
the Assembly, and got from the majority all his de-
mands. His new cabinet will come down with a
bundle of laws, and the Assembly will pain them, to
fall back into ill-humour and opposition immediately
after.
As to the people, they care little for the twerelk
de menage between the President and his ministers
Cr the President and the assembly. The republicans
dread the empire, and it/trait Louis Napoleon. His
weer in wringing more power and more money
