Friday.—The Moniteur publishes to-d.-,,y
addresses of the three great bodies of the State
the Senate, the Deputies, and the C;Juneil of
i„te•—to the Empregs Regent, and her Majesty's
res thereto. It is said that the Deputies are
P 1 to understand that there will be an extra-
it 'nary sitting towards th&month of August, when,
appears, the Emperor is to return, after executing
first series of military operations or military
I,__llinphs. But, whether the holyday of the
elators be long or short, it was natural they
t„scrtild not wish to separate without repeating to the
Oress Regent and the Prince Imperial in person,
tit. assurance of their entire devotedness as
iilJects to his Majesty. When personages
11„e M. Baroche, M. Troplong, and M. de
O.IIY act as the interpreters of the great
es, of which respectively they are at the head,
7esses of Legislative Chambers must be far
erent from what they were in other times—a
mere Customary, unmeaning formality. Eloquent
professions of loyalty and affection were formerly
.:Posited at the foot of the Throne by men whose
.2de.ct did not afterwards exactly correspond
1h the hopes founded on them. What value was
d4't 011 them by those to whom they were ten-
ered it is useless to inquire, but it would be
th the highest degree unjust to suppose that
e declarations of loyalty heard yesterday by
the•allgust lady who hits courageously assumed the
eight of government do not mean precisely what
hasay. The names of the speakers are more than
klfficient guarantee for their sincerity. Few in-
deed
„ of their contemporaries can afford to reproach
either with change of opinion. It is true that M.
140che once knelt before another shrine. Doubt-
:B he followed for a while the light that burned
.1,.848; but he may say that he thought " the light
m'ell led astray was light from heaven." Great
021 are often fatalists. Napoleon I. believed in
Star M. Baroche had also a star in view
•
ding his onward career toward prosperity ; that
of the Legion of Honour, not to speak of the Presi-
4, of the Council of State, is well worth a small
flee. The inflexible consistency of M. Troplong's
k?htical career it is impossible to call in question.
(4)fr.l sunflower itself, whose constancy to the object
it its worship is proverbial, is not more unvarying.
harla true that the interesting flower in question can
ikttcilly keep attending on the rising as well as on the
th,, lig luminary without, to a certain extent,
oo"ging its position. This is, however, of secondary
it:sideration ' • the main object is not for a moment
t eight of. An Irish poet, whose name, by the
ItZ, Was not so well known as it deserved, and whose
a have lain for many a year near the cork trees of
cl,.e
'tra once wrote some beautiful lines on a seal, re-
Prese •
nting a mariner guiding, by the ray of a single
r, a lonely bark over an unknown sea, and amidst
darkness,, and tempest. The helm is firmly grasped,
dthe eye is ever fixed on the solitary star above
hi::: the more beautiful for its loneliness. The
h." en the seal was Si je to perds, je suis perdu !
goe fortunes of the President of the Legislative
InslTs so closely depend on the prosperity of
oFPerial policy as to leave no doubt of the sincerity
de the speaker when he proclaims his unalterable
ojetedness to the Emperor. There were, perhaps,
h'.:ner constellations by the light of which he guided
u 8 hark in times of yore, but those times are gone
1 ; these constellations are vanished, and can no
trier serve him. The single star that glitters in
irplace is the only one by which he can now
der. An order of the day something to this
7tect, has, I am told, been addressed by Marshal
agny an to the army of Paris
is important, under existing circumstances, that the
t2lsions of the army of Paris should be exercised in the
"tice of artillery. For this purpose instructions will be
tell to each corps by officers quitting the military school
thivt to the non-commissioned officers and afterwards to the
•tes. This instruction must be accelerated as much as
•-.0.11b1e. As to the 2nd and 4th divisions in the garrison
aris, two guns will be for that purpose placed in the
poleon, Prince Eugene, and the Reuilly barracks. The
general commanding the division will come to an under
ceding-
with the town major, and with the colonel pro-
o,?nally commanding the artillery. The troops in the
friir Will be exercised with the concurrence of the artillery
The commander of the Ist division will adopt the
'lary measures.
