PARIS, TA:MAT Evexuto.
The most perfect tranquillity reigns in the capitaL
Even the quarters usually the mod turbulent, and
which are the object of the special surveillance of the
authorities, give no cause for the slightest uneasiness.
Meetings have been held several times a week by the
representatives of the Mountain, who have established
themselves en permanence in the capital during the
parliamentary recces, to watch over, u they
call it, the interests of the republic ; but being
themselves scrupulously watched by the vigilant eye
of the police, these meetings present nothing of a
serious character.
A numerous meeting was lately held at the house
of an ex-mioiseet of the Executive Committee of

Seven, for the purpose of coming to an arrangement
as to the course to be pursued by the republican
opposition at the opening of the Chamber, but it sepa-
rated without adopting any resolution on the subject.
The procureur of the republic has ordered a Judi-
cal investigation relative to the acts of violence,
which are stated by some of the journals to have
taken place near the station of the Rouen railroitd on
the occasion of the return of the President of the Re-
public. M. &muftis, the examining magistrate, is
charged with the investigatioo.
The Constitutional contains a detailed account of
the works in progress for improving the navigability
ache Seine by means of dykes. The Assembly will
be asked for six millions for the termination of the
next stage of this undertaking. It is calculated that
when the plans are executed vessels of five andel&
hundred tons will be able to come up as far as Rows.
A sum of three millions was voted for the dykiog of
the section of the river between Villegnier and
Quillebmuf, which is now flashed, and has
been attended with so much muesli that the
mean depths at Yilkquier above low-water sae*
is 3 metres, instead of out, u it veal to be, this kit
has disappeared, and the flood-tide lasts an hoe
longer, which is of great advantage for upward nevi.
gation.
Several prefects of the departments are at this ma
ment at Paris, for the purpose of reporting personally
to the minister the results of the sittings of the cons-
ails-general, and the incidents which tusked the
debates.
M. Pierre Leroux proposed, at a dementia ban-
quet, given a few days ago, a toast to the nano(

anomaly the horror sad disgust with which kis aims' had
bolted them.
If I am correctly informed, the statement which is
going the round of the papers that the President of
the Republic is to dine to-day with Lord NerH
menby, at the British embassy, is devoid of founds-'
tion. For the rest, it stands to reason that suck
proceeding would be inconsistent with the sovereige
style which is at present affected by Louis Napoleon.
It has been incorrectly reported that M. Ouse was
about to present himself as candidate for the repre-
sentation of the department of the Cher, in which a
vacancy bas lately marred. M. Guizot declares pri-
vately that be has not the least intention of offering
himself in opposition to the moderate candidate, hi.
Duvergier d'Haeranne ; and that, unless some unfore-
seen event should induce his friends to desire his
appearance on the political stage, he will wait until
the general election takes place, and then present him-
self as a candidate for the representation of the anon-
dissement of Lisieux, is the department of Calvados,
for which it may be remembered he was formerly
elected.
The ambassador of Nepeal was deprived yesterday
of the sturdy protection of a British policeman, who
attended him to Paris by orders of the government.
This loss seems to have affected him with apprehen-
sions foe his personal secarity, for he applied this

The Nepanisse princes went to-day to visit the
studio of the painter M. Jacquard, who has lately
executed portraits of Mr. acd Mrs. Heald, and be-
came embroiled in litigation to recover the prim of
his labours from the latter. The =bumbler wu so
satisfied with the splendour of Mr. Heald's uniform,
that he gave M. Jacquard an order to paint a full-
length of himself, in his superb Indian costume, which
will be among the pictures exhibited in the Palais

The exhibition of paintings will take place this
year in Iharinber, in the great court of the Palate
Royal which hoes the Rue St. Honore, when nume-
rous workmen are already employed in fitting up a
temporary ansegentent, no as to convert the court
into a pasture gallery.
