PARIS, WIDNIIIDAY, 5 30 P. 31.
Whilst M. Mold is doing all in hie power to patch
np a reconciliation which Pd. Parien's conduct on the
Education Bill has rendered almost imkossible and
though M. de la Hitte and General d'Hautpoul had
some high words with M. Parien yesterday, in which
they reproached him with imprudence, there is
another act to record this morning, which certainly
will nut tend to make M. Mole more anxious to serve
the President. The act I refer to is the fol/owt cg d~
tree, agreed to by the President, and contained :tithe
Monileur of this morning :

Monsieur le President,—The Constituent.,trembly rati-

was come to carry into execution a decree which so well
expresses one of the most lively and deep fe.linits of the
country. I asked myself whether it would be necessary to
have recourse, for the execution of this monutaent, to a
spacial credit, and I doubted not that an Assembly presided
over by one of the Illustrious defenders of the hero of Moe-
how*, would receive such a proposition with the moat lively
sympathy. But, on reflecting on the charaeter which the
monument to be erected to Marshal Nay should have, I find
that the ordinary credit for works of art may he sufficient toe
it. It has appeared to me, in fact, that such a monument,
from the nature of the reminiscences which it ell awaken,
should he one of the greatest simplicity. And what proves
that such is the spirit of the law is, that it designs as its
site the desert place where Mar.hal Ney met his death
without any other whitlows than his executioner.. you
have not wished, Monsieur le President, that the monument
to him whom the Emperoroalled le Brave r.a Braces, should
be considered as the public mark of an irritating remini-
scence. It was nectuary to record somewhere the exotesion
of that regret which had been felt in so many hearts, aae it
was considered suitable to do so on the very .pot where toe
marshal fell. The monument will represent Marshal Rey
presenting his breast and opening his heart to death. I have
no neck miry to tell you, Monsieur le President, that I have
chosen for the execution of this wore one of the greaten
statuaries; his work would be worthy or the seaaments
which dictated the decree, and the execution of wh.cl. you
have prescribed to me. I am, with profound respect, tloa.

This decree being another defiance of the majori,v
cannot but further alienate feelings which before were
not very ardent in the President's favour. The
legitimis s consider the act as suicidal, aed ca.l on the
President to explain himself with 31. Molt., one of
those who condemned Marshal Nty in the Chamber
of Peers, and hitherto one of the President's chief
supporters.
As for Louis Napoleon, he continues to seek the
