PARIS. SUNDAY EVENING.

To-day being the festival of 8L Louis, the patron
mint of the President, tho imam of the Invalid's
have been tiring salvoes in honour of the fête.
The ambassador of Nepaul was visited yesterday by
General Lahitte, and to-day by M. Barash*. He is
rather unwell, and did not aooompaoy his brother to
Msbille.

—fie President spent the 23rd and 24th at Nancy
and Metz. At the latter place he was congratulated
by M. Schmidt, deputed b 7 Xing Leopold for this
purpose. The President will return to Paris on the
28th.

The answer -which the Pree dent made to the
mayor upon his arrival at Strasburg, was as follows:
" I am come to these parts not to receive homage, bat
to study the needs and to know the wishes of the
country. lam come to encourage and support what
there is of good, and to repress what there is of bad ;
and in this task I shall count upon your assistance."
You are already aware that the municipal council,
by a majority of 18 against 8, rajocted all motions for
a vote of money to defray the expenses of fetes given
in honour of the President. The prefect, M. West,
having presented the members of the lanai•
cipal council, Louis Napoleon glanced at
their hostile resolution in these words, addressed
to the mayor, who stood at their bead : "M.
mayor, I am very glad that the city of Strasburg has
not put itself to any expense for my reception. I do
not make this journey with the intention of imposing
extraordinary expenses upon the towers through'
which I pas', but in order to learn the wishes of their
inhabitants. Your city offers to-day a very flue
appearance."
In the evening a grand dinner was given by the
President at the prefecture. Among the personages
present were the Princess Stephanie, Grand Duchess
of Baden, Generals d'Hautpoul, Magnae, and Brilliet,
MM. Dames and Bineau, M. West, the
Prefect of the Bee-Rhin ; M. de ?tansy,
French Minister at Frankfort ; M. de Bassano,
envoy of Francs to the Grand Duchy of Bades, M. de
Scbneck, master of the horse to the Grand Duke,
who was sent to compliment Louis Napoleon on the
part of his muter, M. de Reinhardt, French minister
at Berne; M. d'Harcourt, French minister at State-
gard ; M. Engelhard, French consul at Mayence ; the
bishop, the heads of the several constituted bodies, and
the colonels of the regiments. After dieser, at eight
o'clock, commenced the reception of the ladies of the
city. The rooms of the prefecture were soon crcwded
with ladies in bill dressm. But the event which
created most sensation was a little surprise, which
certainly does honour to the waggery of the
Strasburgers. A tremendous, display of fire-
works had been gat up on the rampart of
the Porte des Juifs opposite to the prefecture and
theatre. The President's Rube, the Grand Duchess
Stephanie, fired the train with her own fair hand : but
imagine the disappointment and chagrin of the Presi-
dent's party, when they saw opposite to them, in im-
mense blazing characters,
" viva LA REPUBLIQUE."

Orders had been given that it should be " Viva le
President," but General Tbouvenin, who commanded
the artillery of the National Guard, the body which
had the getting up of this flaming compliment,
made the small, and not altogether, perhaps,
unintentional blander of putting " Republique "
in the place of " President." Just is Nelson
turned his blind eye to the admiral's signal
for retreat, so did General Thouvetin turn a deaf ear
to the rt quest of M. Mocquart, the President's Potem-
kin. When questioned upon the matter be replied
that " \rive la Republique!" was the device in most
consonance with the feelings of the citizens of Stras-
burg. Many of the Strasburg ladies, however, seemed
to enjoy the eight ezoeseively. The famous spire of
the cathedral was illuminated, and the deli:ate lines
of :the Gothic architecture, traced in flame, had a
magical effect. At half-past ten the ladies got a hint
to retire, which they did, thinking the hour wondrous
early for shutting up, and at eleven the old cathedral
was all dark again. Louis Napoleon slept in a room
where there was one of the Emperor's
comp-beds, but not on it. M. Schulmeister, to whom
the relic belonged, made him a present of it.
At eight the next morning commenced a round of
receptions in the great room, where the President
eamtd in great state, surrounded by the ministers,
Magnin, the aides-de-camp, &a More than
350 old officers of the Empire, all decorated, had come
from all pointed the department to salute the nephew
of Napoleon, to whom they were presented in rapid
rotation as they filed off. They ware headed by
General Leclerc. The President addressed remarks
to some, and caused pecuniary assistance to be given
to others. After the officers came the non-commis-
stoned officers sad the molding net amnia i of
whom the number was ee great that they could
not be assembled in the room, brit were ranged
in the warts of the prefecture la four long
files, along which the President walked ac-
companied by the ministers, the preterit and Gen.
Msgnan, followed by an -deamp, who distri•
bitted pieces of gold. 600 fr. was given to a blind
soldier led by his grand-daughter. The number of
these old soldiers was from twelve to fifteen hundred.
Finally they filed off, crying out " Viva Napoleon !
Viva l'Eropereur ! " On his return to the great room
the President received from 360 to 400 mayors end
deputy-mayors of the communes of the department.
To some of these fuactiooaries he spoke themes.
Many were dressed in the singular local costumes.
The crowd outside received every retiring deputa-
tion with shouts of " Vire la republique ! "
The leading incidents of the snood day of the
President's stay at Strasburg were the grand review
of the troops aad the national guard, sad the
=at the banquet of the Chamber of
KM The review took place at two,
on the ground where Illeber's statue is erected.
The National Guard was very numerous, and
cried "Vin la Republique!" while the
set up the rival shoat of " Viva le President 1"trla:
President went sad returned on horseback. He was
accompanied by Gee. d'Hautpoul, Gen. Magnin, the
Prefect, and a brilliant staff. The ministers of public
works and :cosimeros followed in a carriage. The
Polygon, where the review took place, is a vast spare
between the Rhine and the gate of Austerlitz. An
immense crowd of people bordered the whole way
• front the city, and raised the shout of "Viva la Ra-
t I priblique.* At the moment of his arrival at the
Polygon a young medical student advanced and erred
r "A bas le Pwas resident I" Hs immediately arrested.

incident at Strasburg which bus excited the
sethlmissin of the Cbostittstionest, is thus reported by
1 thalksaterate she .RAU :

--- -
After Pomo gracious °Monitions that Y. Loa's Bonaparte
Mooght flt to address to the members of the Chamber of
Commove the recoptios seemed at an gad, whoa the citizen
Juleaßrekmenn, member of the Chamber of Commerce,
admitting towards the President of tie Republic, thus
addressed him : " Mr. President, you hive some here to
leant the wants of the country and to consult its sentiments.
My colleague has Indicated to you some of our want*, and I
should Mel that I toiled ie my duty if I did not signalise our
wishes- Our wishes an, M. President, that eine the
highest prerogative Mat the votes of six sat
daemon have conferred is yes, you should employ your
great power in liberating those of our tellow-citizeins who
proms in exile and in Moon." The President interrupted
M. Beckmann, saying that they who interfered with politl
eel affairs should not disturb public order. You speak of
disturbers et order, replied the citizen MrCIIIIIMM. I have
know!' by experience how these matters are apprrciated.
Exiled in Switzerland, acened at Strasbourg, I have been
sequitted at Mete, and it is this sentimeat of co-fraternity
which makes me insist on the liberation of those who, in
trails or in prime, wait the justice of their country to re-
store them to their homes. DI Loafs Bonaparte replied that
he Moe had known the rigours of wile and of prison. but
that be could not decide at that moment.

At Mulhausen, delegates of the workmen of M.
Hofer, ex-representative, one of the consietedof the

High 'Court of Vennilles, wearing craps on the arm
and having their banner in mourning, presented to
the President a petition for the pardon of M. Hofer,
signed by more than 3,000 persons of Mulhausen.
Another body of workmen, acting under the instiga-
tion of the mayor, presented a petition commenting
on the electoral law of the 31st May, by which "the
citizens, the most useful. the class essentially la-
borious, amongst whom are to be reckoned thousands
of industrious Alsacians, have been affec•ed with poli-
tied ostracism," and calling on the President to make
it a point of conscience to propose to the assembly the
npeel of that law.
it will be remembered that the first number of the
Preterit, the periodical written by Ledru Rollin,
Mazzini, and the French refugees at Loudon, was
seized immediately after publication, on account
of some seditious articles it contained, and especially
of one written by Ledra Rollin. Yesterday Ledru
I Rollin, M. Brutinel.Nadal, responsible editor, and M.
E. Bridre, printer of the Proserit, were brought to
trial before the Court of Alines for having written,
printed, and published the said articles. In so doing
they, according to the indictment, committed the
offences of exciting to civil war, attacking the rights
and authorities of the National Assembly, exciting to
hatred and contempt of the republican government,
and attacking the respect due to the laws. Ledru
Rollin did not appear, end judgment went by default.
Brutinel-Nadal said that he accepted the retvonsibi-
lity of having published the article ; and Briere said
that he had not read it before it was printed. The
articles were read, and the avocatieterale showed
the offences they contained. The lucubration of Le-
drn Rollin was very violent, and concluded by calling
on the people to be prepared for revolt. An article by
Mazzini, also extremely violent, was likewise read. The
jary declared all the notated guilty, Briere with ex-
tenuating oircumstanees. Ledru Rollin aas con-
demned by default to a year's imprisonment and
3,000 f. fine; Brutinel-Nadal to six months' imprison-
Iment and I,ooof fine; and Bridre to fifteen days' im-
prisonment and 500 f. fine.

MONDAY EYZIMIG.
By telegraphic despatches from Nancy and Metz
we learn that the President having quitted Strasbourg
at one on the 23rd, was received everywhere upon his
passage with warmth and sympathy. At Sarrebourg.
where he slept, an immense crowd assembled from all
points of the arrondissement. At Luneville, notwith-
standing the heavy min that fell during all the morn-
ing of the 24th, numerous rural national gouda came
to join the national guards of the city. At his en-
trance into Nancy, where the President arrived
at seven on the evening of the 24:h, be f nod a
triumphal arch erected by the workmen of the suburb
with this inscription " God protect France. The
workmen of the suburb to Louis Napoleon." An im-
mense crowd accompanied him to the prefecture. In
the evening he assisted at a ball given by the city.
The President arrived at Metz at two on the after-
neon of the 25th. The mayor and municipal council
were at the terminus of the railway to receive him.
The auguries drawn from the Strasbourg speech
of Louis Napoleon are much more favourable to the
repose of France than those which were gathered
from his imperialist manifesto of Lyons. The modest
and humble key in which he signifies that his chief
ambition is to be an honest man, I. generally im-
hted to the severe Seisms which have been read to
ion his voyage through Alsace. Meanwhile, an
incident has occurred at Nancy, which has stirred a
good deal of attention. A tremendous row occurred
at the ball given in that city. An officer of the
national guard, advancing towards Louis Napoleon,
requested him to shake hands. •The President, it
seems, was not in a humour to allow such a freedom to
pass, and, declining the favour solicited, replied:
"I em not in the habit of giving my hand to every
one." Hereupon the of set up a shout of " Vive
la Republique!" in which all present of that way of
thinking joined. But the party of the President,
having the advantage in point of force, vehemetely
demanded that the officer should be turned out, a
measure that was set about without the least cere-
mony, for the offender against etiquette was forth-
with collared by one of the President's suite, and,
after a violent thole between the contending parties,
thrust out of the festive meeting, while the entourp
of the President raised the victorious shoat of " Vivo
Napoleon!" As this untoward accident seemed to
dash the spirits of the ladies, the President told them
to be not at all alarmed at such a trifle, but to con-
tinue their dancing gaily. Nevertheless, a great por-
tion of the company disappeared, and loud cries of
"Vive la Republique!" were heard outside in the
street.
The Nepanlese princes went this morning, in:grand
costume, to return the visits of the Ministers of the
Interior and Foreign Affairs.
M. Fiorentino, who has been subjected to peones'.
in consequence of his duel with M. Amedde Achard.
has received from the Court of Amine an order to sur-
render himself up to the authorities. The trial will
come on in the beginning of September. There
seems a strong disposition on the part of the judicial
authorities to deal seriously with the offence of
duelling, and to visit the convicted with the full
weight of the law.
General Castellano arrived In Paris yesterday. The
motive of his journey is not very distinctly known,
but said by his friends to be connected with private
affairs. He will return shortly to Lyons.
The Minister of the Interior has just decided that
the marble bust of M. de Balsa° shall be planed in
the gallery of the celebrated men of the 19th osntury
in the museum of Versailles. He, at the same time,
decided that the marble for the statue shall
be offered to the subscription tinned for raising a
monument to the oelebrated writer.
Louis Philippe hoe presented to the state of the
Standish collection of pictures, the possession of which
was confirmed to him by a recent award of the
Conseil d'Etat.

Admiral Doe-fosses, Minister of Marine, is created
Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour, M. Baroche,
Commander, and MM.Moulter, Patten, and Fould,
Knights of the same order.
