PARIS, Funny Evsnino.
A telegraphic despatch which has arrived to-day
announces the Presideat's arrival at Cherbourg, and
says that he was well received.
The lut amounts which have reached me of hie
" progress" only wane down to Caen. He arrived at
that town on Wednesday evening, at 6 o'clock. The
council-general, accompanied by the prefect and the
civil and military authorities, went to meet him. Two
I lines of national guards extended from the :mimes
of the town to the Hotel of the Prefecture, and all the
windows were occupied with elegantly-attired ladies
in grand toikUas, with bouquets in their hands. The
President passed between the lines of the national
guard, and several bouquets were thrown to him by
the ladies. The population cried "Vire le President!"
and "Viva Louis Napoleon!" There were also cries
of " Vive la Republique!"
The President then held a reception of the autho-
rities, after which he partook of a banquet given by
the town. The mayor proposed his health an a com-
plimentary speech, which we. loudly applauded, mud
the President replied u follows:
The reception so kind and so sympathetic—l might ducat
my so enthusiastic—which I receive in the west ea I did in
the east of France, towhee me profoundly; tut lam not
puffed up (je ae neinsorgweillie pas) with it, and will only
ascribe to myself the eseellest part of it. I have been so
heartily greeted because I ass considered the representative
of order and of a better future. (Prolongedbravos.) When
1 visit your popaladoe, surrounded by as who merit your
Woes and your doefidence, I am happy to hear it meld," The
bad days are pared, and we expect better." :(Applause.)
Ceusequestly, when everywhere prosperity stem to return,
the man would be vary culpable who would attempt to check
Ite peogrise by changing what at present exists, however
imperfect It may be. So, aloe, Reliantly days were to return,
and the people a hJuld desire to impose a new burden on the
chief of the government, that chic fin his tarn would be very
culpable if be were to desert his Melt minion. (General
marks of wen!.) But let us not anticipate the feature. Let
as now endeavour to regulate the affairs of the country; let
each cf us socomplish Yr duty, and God will do the net !
I propose a toast " To the town of C4OO I"
On taking his seat the Piesident was greeted with
enthusiastic honoars and shouts of " Vies la Presi-
dent.'

This speech is a very remarkable one in several
respects, and has excited a good deal of interest
smog those who have had the opportunity of reading
it. Bat at the moment which I write it is very little
known. _ _ _

The President after the banquet attended a ball,
and remained till midnight. The next morning he
passed a review, and then proceeded to Cherbourg.
The following letter from Cherbourg, of the 3rd, is
from Galignoni:
As the day approaches for the arrival of the President o
the Republic, the iallaz of visiton from all quarters
itteressee. The steamboats from Jersey and Guernsey bring
sa immense number of English from those islands, and the
bast from Bane is every dsy crowded, while every minute
dilignsam of all sins, concons, sad covered carts, brag their
quota from the surrounding country. 8 nee yesterday, the
roadstead has assumed the eppeareuee of an Balkh port;
sheet 40 paha arrived today, saluting the admiral with
their guns as they entered the harbour. Lord Cardigan
is the umber of yachtsmen who have arrived.
Two admiralty steamers have also come in. from
Portsmouth, bringing Sir Charles Napier, Admiral
Cochrane, and forty-five other anon, who have come
over by expren permission of the Adminity, to witness the
evolutions; they do not, however, come is an official cha-
racter, as none of them ippon is uniform. The Lords of the
Admiralty, who are making • tour of inspection through the
Cleanse Islands, in the Black Bogle, will also be ben to-
morrow. It is said that the yacht clubs intend tasking a
grand display Is honour of the President. It is to be hoped
that there will be rather men wind on Saturday for the
Implodes@ than we have bee for the bat two or three days,
for the harbour has been without a ripple. The maritime
prefect had a narrow nape, the day before yesterday,
from being sonsaiasted. A sailor, when time of service
was about expiring, sad who Nit some hostility against the
admiral, attacked him with • dagger, bat the blow was for-
tunately warded off by a 'sodomite standing near, and the
man was taken into nnody. The mayor has to day pub-
Betted a proclamation to his fellow-eitinas, announcing the
approaching arrival of the President of the Republic, in
which he says: "The Presideat of the Trench Republic is
about to visit our roadstead sad our arsenal. Be noses to
casein* binned of their anneal insportanet, and to in-
quire what may reader that imponsase truly salacious.
Every mesideradon, therefore, makes it a duty for at to
gin him • warm sad medial reesptioa. Masted first ma-
charm of the nation, his fleet ears hen bees the re-establish-
ment of order, too nag shalom te its Nano; ceder, without
whisk there sin be no naployassat foe the writhing claret."

stated by enemy posses he • position to be well in-
formed, that this worthy u-mirelater of Louis Philippe
woe charged to aegesiabs the long-talked-of fusion
between the two hemming of the Bourbon family ;
bat the Orissande loudly deny that be had any snob
mission, sod say that his visit was only the result of
his own ellsioassess end love of parade. In connex-
ion with this affair it is worthy of remark that the
Jowled des Moak the great °timid organ of this
mornbeg, speaks ia a very different spirit of the Duke
of Bade= and a fawn than it did some time ago.
Mlle cosoeile-general have voted for the revision
of the oeneditatico. To-day intelligence of the votes
of then of the Aade, Charente, Charente-Inferieure,
Mataroulaire. Marne, Marline Nord, Seine-lute-
risen, Outs "Or, Isidro-et-Loh, and the Cortese have
arrived. The isms remark which I made yesterday
will apply to theee—vis., that, though not so stated
by the government, it is probable that the majority
have, like that of previous batches, demanded only
that the revision shall be made at the constitutional
