Are there no deputies in France The answer to
this question is to be found in the above affair of
the students and in the conetituuon of 1851.
There are no deputies in France capable of taking
any independent initiative like those of a free
country. If, on a sudden emergency, French.
deputies think differently from the executive
power, they have no lawful means of giving
expression to their thoughts. •

for a moment thought possible, prevent the

Paris at 11 to-morrow morning, with the
following already announced. lie purposes to
pass Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning in
Lyons. It is expected that the Emperor and
Empress of Russia, ou their way from Nice, will
have an interview with Napoleon 111. at Lyons.
The Empress will preside at the Council of Mi-
Mater, during his Majesty's absence ; but as Al-
geria is considered French soil, she will not be ap-
pointed Regent, as was the case when the Emperor
went to Italy.
The fetes announced at Ajaccio (Corsica) have
been postponed, and the surmised reason is that
the Emperor, on his way back from Algeria, will
appear In all his splendour, escorted by the fleet,
iu the island which cradled his race.
Mr. Bigelow having returned to Paris from
Brest, has made arrangements fur a funeral service
iu memory of Mr. Lincoln, to be performed to-
morrow in the American chapel, Rue Bayard.
The Afriraine is positively to be produced at the
Opera to-night, the Emperor having determined to
see it before his departure for Algeria. It is to
be feared that the hurry will be detrimental to the
effect of the first performance. It will be ex-
tremely long. The rehearsal took seven hours, and
it is said that, what with Madunie Meyerbeer's
scruples about mutilating the least fragment of her
illustrious husband's wark, and what with the diffi-
culty of cutting down iu one place rather than
another, thirty-five minutes is the utmost that the
!.cissors have been able to curtail. At the fall of
the curtain, instead of the cnitomary abr,ontic&
went of the name of the author of a new piece,
there will be a sort of apotheosis of Meyerbuer, and
his bust, placed in the centre of the stage, will
ho crowned by the principal si ~ g , iu the
