FRANCE.

PARIS, TUESDAY ETINING.
The President set oat this morning, at eight, for
Versailles. to be present at the review in the plain of
Baldry. He was accompanied by General Changer-
slier, M. Caller, General d'Hautpoul, M. B.roche,
and several generals and sides-de-camps, and pro-
ceeded directly to the villa of Lord Normanby, who
entertained the President aid his suite and the Ne-
wline princes at breakfast at ten o'clock. After
breakfast the party mounted the President's horses
and repaired to the ground, which is a high table of
land above the town, to the south-west. The Prince
of Nepaul rode on the Pnsident's right, Ciptain
James, the interpreter, being between the two in the
uniform of his military rank. The brothers of the
prince came next behind. A 'brilliant and numerous
staff followed. The whole street and road op through
the wood was lined with thousands of spectators, who
had poured out from Paris to witness the review.
There were five regiments of foot and four of cavalry,
with some batteries of artillery. A sham-battle took
place, with diecharies of artillery, charges, and all
the mimic circumstance of war. After the evolutions
a flintier was to be given to the officers.
There appears, in the Bonapartist organs of to-day,
en article which lumen the appearance of a manifesto.
The circumstance of its being simultaneously inserted
in the Bulletin de Paris and the Afuniteur ds Soir,
two deoided but independent Napoleoniat prints,
seems to indicate an official source. It is as follows
The waning attitude assumed for the last two months
by the monarchical parties has excited great emotion both in
Paris and in the departments. Tits country has a right to
know what are the projects of Look Napoleon in the event
of the nyatisw,—united or disunited—of the two brioches
seeking to prevent the necessary prolongation of the presi-
dential powers. We think we are acquainted with these
projaus, and will state them in a few words. Louie Napo-
leon npadiates openly all dyeastie artier. pessai ; be de-
area no other prerogatives than thole which he now en-
joys. His sole object is the re-establishment of order, ewe
fidi nee, anst credit; in a word, to close the era of revo-
lutions. But, to accomplish the mission of pease which
has been reserved for him by Providence, it is necessary
that the power of the President should have stability
and duration. Louis Napoleon would not respond to
the wish of the six millions of citizens who chose him
as the symbol of the ideas of order and prudent pre
grew inaugurated is 1789, if he were humbly to bow his
heed to the royalist eicialition whisk imprudently agitates the
country. Louie Napoleon hopes, then, that when the mo-
ment shall arrive for discussion the future condition of
France—that ie to say, to enesolidate power definitively, oe
to decree anarchy—the National Assembly will comprehend
the duties imposed upon it by dreumstances, and the la-
mellae responsiqUity which it would assume in history if it
woes to Imitate to vote the immediate revision of the coned-
toga'. II the National Assembly, forgetting that France
desires above aU things to be tranquillised, should refuse to
adopt a meanies imperatively demanded by public safety,
Loafs Napoleon would not hesitate to make en appeal to the
entire people of France, from whom he has received his min.
lion; and the pi opts would decide whether the President of
the Republic should adopt for his motto, "Abnegation or
Pongee ranee."

The organs of the opposition declare their intention ,
of waiting till the article receives an facie' sanction
before they pew a jodgment upon this siLgulu
announcement, which looks like a declaration of war '
against the National Assembly, and is certainly a
menace of the most unjustifiable kind. The appear.
mice of the article lest night is expicined by the
ciernmstance that it was the lest occasion on which
Inch a composition could figure in a paper without a 1
same attached. The members of the Assembly who 1
set to-day in the Salle des Conferences, complained
loudly of this now attack front the Bonapartist press,
which will probably mike se much noise in the Com-
mittee of Permanence us the doings of the Society of
the Dix Decembre. The sitting of the Committekon
Thursday, is expected to be a very stormy one.
Great diversity is visible in the ways adopted by
the papers of conforming to the obligation of signa-
ture imposed by the Lew press-law. The Murair
signs everything, even translations from foreign
papers and news borrowed cut of contemporaries.
The Mini and Presze publish at the head a list of
their contributors. The leaders are signed by the
authors in full, and the minister paragraphs initialed.
The Gazette de France only signs its first article.
The inconvenience to the public of the signing
system is strikingly instanced today in many papers,
but in none more strongly than those which are con-
ducted by MM. Veron and Casugnae, The former
treats us to a history of his personal acquaintance
' with the President, and publishes the note by which
M. Innis Napoleon Bonaparte first desired the homier
of M. Verse's acquaintance. A portrait of the prince;
his character and manners succeeds, daubed with the
grossest flattery. M. Comps* presents us in the
same manner with autobiographical details, which the
reader could afford very well to miss. Take this
specimen: " About a month before the 30th of Das
oembt r I became again a journalist, to give to sseirtt
the humble tributes of my imperishable devo
set up the flag of Louis Napoleon in the corner of
France to which I tad withdrawn, and in a month
after it wu saluted by the acclamations of six mil-
lions." Thus on all hands the weary newspaper reader
Is beset with the obtrusive personal vanity of a series
of radiate:as, and. instead of beholding in any apt
the reflex of the public mind, is ;minted with the
grimaces of the self-satisfied journalist.
Duke Pasquier has addressed a letter to the
Opinion Publique, contradicting. the report which
describes him as preparing memoirs for publication.
The Pope her addressed a brief to M. Parisis, &a-
rming him from residence In his diocese of Langres,
en consideration of his duties as member of the Dia-
ling Assembly, and of the Superior Council of
Instruction.

--"ilieenTeers publishes a Est of the most remarkable
English converts to Roman Catholicism.
Great floods have occurred in the region about
Perpignan, from the excessive rains in the south.
The ambassador of Repaid having expensed his
wish to Fro " behind the some of the Opera, the di-
rector, M. Roqueplan, intimated that he @hostel be
most happy to receive him, and Saturday was the
day fixed for the visit. At 'brut eleven o'clock, the
prince and his suite arrived in several carriages, and
their splendid jewels looked well in the sunshine. The
distinguished visitors were first taken to the great
dancing-room, in which the members of the corp. de
Wet were taking a lemon. A gilded arm-chair was
prepared for the prince, and he watched the lesson
with the greatest interest. Afteraitting nearly an hour,
he was 'Aid if he did not feel some eima', but he re-
plied that he could remain till nightfall with pleasure.
The director, however, in order not to weary him,
conducted him with great ceremony to the stage,
and he was there placed under the canopy
which serves far the emperor in the third art of
La Isar.. Mlle. Fanny Cerrito stood by his aide,
and the corps de ballet danced the divertisannene of
the BpfattaVoupg, the new owed M. Auber, which
is about to be brought out. Thrprinee was delighted,
and he requested that all the proms of the ballet
should be presented to him. The presentation took
place in the great foyer, and when it was concluded
the ambassador delivered a little speech, which was
translated into English by his interpreter, and then
from English into Pmerh. The speech was to the
effect that never had any women appeared to him so
escheating as those of the opera, end that he would
sever forget what he had seen, however distant he
might be, and however long Rearm might
allow him to live. The direst*/ having sent out for
the finest fruits that could be prepared, invited the
prince to partake of them. The prince replied that If
a refusal would offend the director, he would partake
of them, notwithstanding the ardinauces of his reli-
gion would be violated by his eat* in the presence
of strangers ; but that be would tt tly prefer that
the young beauties who eseroanded him should be
invited to take the froth. To this the director w-
eeded, and the young lain emptied the baskets, and
devoured the fruittrith an alacrity which appeared
I greatly to amuse the prince. Before leaving, the am-
