The president returned teat evening from one of
the most gratify leg, to him, of those prcgresses which he
has yet made. Enthusiasm marked his wage at each
place, and the fete is allowed on all hands to have b:en the
wait brilliant of at kind yet witueststd. The cries of
t' Vive Napoleon!" were beard everywhere, mingled here
and there with others of" Vire l'Empereur !" which cannot
trim been uisplwasing to the presidential ear. At Meaux
the artillery of the national guard cried " Vire la Repub.
lique " with great vigour. That arnu'e, as the French call
is, stems to have monopolised the most animated republicans
ell oter France. Theirs, however, was the only demonstra-
tion apparent during the day.
The ration of the Rue de Chabroi, which the president
' reached at 8 o'clock in the awning, had been tastefully de-
corated with tricoloured flags and streamers, and long
before the time fixed for the arrival of the presilent, a large
crowd had assembled in the vicinity of the station, who
shouted " Vice Napoleon!" " Vies la Regubl:que! "
The president was accompanied by several emilent public
(personages, and many others were waiting to receive him.
In attendance on the president were M. Ferdinand Barrot,
Commandant Fleury, Captain Ltity, Commandant Toulon-
geon, and other gentlemen of his household. The prince
was attired in the uniform of a general of the national
itud, aid wore the 'When and star of the grand cress of
the Legion of limiour. Ho shook hands with several of
the most distinguiabed persons, end gave, it wee observed,
a specialiy warm greeting to M. Leon Feather.
the persons invited by the directon were several hun-
dred in number, and a great part of them left early in
the morning. This train which conveyed the presi-
dent of the republic started at 5 minutes to 9 o'clock, with
between 200 and 300 persons. A grand saloon carriage,
beautifully fitted up with light blue coloured silk, was occu-
pied by the prince, the vice-president of the republic, the
ministers, and some of the most diatinguished visitors. On
the president's invitation, M. Leon Faucher took a seat is
the vehicle.

The section of the railway to be inaugural el was 142 kilo-
meters in length. The station, which is far from completed,
is the &Met of the kind in Paris. The portion of the lint
nearest to Paris has presented few engineeting difficulties;
but there are several fine bridges under strets, under the
weer boulevard, over the Canal St. Denis, a viaduct through
the ditch of the ratifications, ke. From this point to Lagny
the country is not remarkable for beauty; and the most no-
table places passed by the railway are the ferret of
ones famous for thieves; the forest, chateau,i and grounds of
Rainey, the property of the et king; and Chelles, which
formerly possessed an important abbey.
At Noisy-le•See, Downy, and some other villages the
national guards were assembled, and pre tented arms as the
train passed. They were accompanied by large bodies of the
country people, who jained them in showing, "Five Na-
poleon . " Fire le president! "
Lagny was the first piece at which the train stopped. Most
of the houses within view of the station writ d. c crated with
tiags, and every window was occupied by well-dressed per-

mended a view of it were crowded by the country people.
The national guard of Lagny, and the adjacent communes, in
al: 8 hatallions of about 4,000 men, were assembled on both
sides of the railway. They presented a striking appearance,
some being in uniform, vane in blouses, NON in plaice clothes,
some armed, come not. The president, who was received by
the sub-prefect of Meaux and other funcianariss, named the
national guar 1 in review, and in so doing, kindly noticed
some of the village mayors and ether persons.
At ten minutes to ten, the train again started. The rail-
way follows the valley of the Marne, end rarely loses tight of
the river, but by means of finely executed bridges avoids its
innumerable windings.

the side of it is another tunnel through the same hill for the

The arrival at Meaux, which took place at a kw minutes
past ten, was greeted by the roaring of artillery, the beating
of drums, the clang of trumpets, the clamour of several hands,
and the shouts of an immense multitude.

Several thousand national guards of Meaux and the adja.
cent places, and a fine regiment of cuirassiers, were under
arms in the Place Lafayette, which was decorated with
wreaths, flags, and streamer.. On alighting, the president
was greeted again and again with boisterous cries of " Vivo
Napoleon !" He proceeded on foot to the cathedral, where
the bishop and clergy received him ; and, in answer to the
eulogium of the former, the president replied :
"There is in our positions a similitude which I remark.
You invoke the remembrance of Bonnet; I can invoke that
of my uncle. We have both of us in our respective positions
gri at examples to follow. Receive, I pray you, monseigneur,
my thanks fcr the charity which you have exhibited during
the late epidemic. I thank you also for the wishes which
you espreu for the happiness of Franc!, and I am grateful
for all that there is flattering to myself in your words."
The president, preceded by the bishop and clergy, went
to the grand altar, in front of which a handsome gilded chair
was placed. Mau was then Celebrated in the usual manner,
the bishop taking part in the ceremony. 'Pais done, the
resident went to the bishop's residence, and received the
local
authorities, the judges of the tribunal, the clergy of the
cathedral, and the pr.ncipel inhabitants.
The visit to Meaux was over by 20 otibutes to 11, and as
the train left the people again shouted " Vive Napoleon."
After passing through a very pretty country, the popula-
tion of which assembled at intervals along the line to wet.
come the president, the train arrived at La Pi rte. The
train was decorated with flags, and a vast number of national
guards were collected under atms, with flags and bands of
music. The clergy and local authorities were in waiting
under an elegant tent, where the president received their
felicitations. He then. passed the national guard in review.
In heartiness the greeting extended to him exceeded that at
Meaux. One was almost deafened by the shouts of " Vivo
Napoleon !" and cries of " Viva l'Empereur !" were heard,
not from isolated individuals, but from whole companies.
Tree republic was all but forgotten.
At length at about two o'clock the president arrived at
Epernay. The Bishop of Chalons, at the head of his clergy,
addressed the president, who replied :
"I check you for extending to me the benedictions which
you give to the produce of human labour. I thank you also
for the manner in which you appreciate my past conduct. I
feel indebted to you far your kind wishes in favour of France,
and am,gratetul for what is personal to myself in your lan-
guage-.
The venerable prelate then proceeded to bless the locomo-
tives, when the prince received the local authorities, judges,
clergy, °Seen of the national guard and army. He then
mounted on horseback, and proe:oled to pass in review a
portion of the national guard, which was assembled in vast
numbers. He was greeted with hearty cries of " Vive Napo-
mon! Vivo le President!" and there were also numerous cries
of " Vivo la Republique !" but the former greatly pride-
eaftsated. The houses were decked out with -flags. There
were columns and wreaths of foliage ; poles with stresmnrs
&e. In a vast tent which was most elegantly decorated,
tables were spread for nearly five hundred guests. On ar-
riving there the president of the republic was received
with hearty shouts by the guests, and by the crowd miens-
bled outside. The banquet was truly sumptuous, infinitely
superior to the general ran of public feasting.. It was dis-
tinguished, too, hews festivities of the same kind by the pro-
digal meaner in which champagne was supplied. Scarcely
anything else, indeed; was drank, and the qpaatity eon-
