The Moniteur announces that the Prince President
will make his entry into Paris on Saturday next, at
three o'clock. His Highness will be received at the
terminus of the Orleans Railroad by the Archbishop
of Paris and the clergy, by the Ministers of State,
the Prince President of the Senate and the senators,
by the President of the Legislative Body and the de-
puties now in Paris, by the Councillors of State,
the Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour,
the General in command of the army of Paris,
the Commander of the National Guard of the
department of the Seine, the superior officers
of the army and navy, the members of the
Court. of Caseation and Accounts, by deputations
from the different tribunals, and by the principal
public functionaries. At the Place de IA Bastille his
Imperial Highness will be received by the Prefect of
the Seine and the municipal bodies of Paris and the
banlieu, and will then proceed by the Boulevards, the
Rue Royale, and the Place de la Concorde, through
the principal entrance of the garden to the Palace
of the Tuileries, where his Highness will be re-
ceived by the members of his family. General Mag-
nan, commanding-in-chief the army of Paris, bas
issued an order of the day, containing the regula-
tions to be observed by the army and National
Guards on the occasion. An orchestra of 300 musi-
cians, under the direction of M. Dufresne, is to be
placed in the railway station to execute appropriate
airs on the arrival of the Prince. A large triumphal
arch, representing a portico, decorated in the Italian
style of the Renaissance, and ornamented with eight
large allegorical statues, is to be erected on the Pont
d'Austerlitz by M. Visconti, at the expense of the
municipality. The space between the station and the
bridgeis to be decorated at the expense of the workmen
of the twelve arrondissements. Near the Arenes Na-
tionales, there is to be a triumphal arch, and vast
stands are to be erected for two thousand spectators.
From this arch, two young girls representing Fame,
and bearing in their hands crowns of oak and olive
leaves, are to be suspended ; and forty young girls,
dressed in white, stationed near the arch, are to
throw flowers to the Prince. At the top of the
Boulevard Beaumarchais there is to be another
triumphal arch, which is to be constructed by the
workmen of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. At the
new Circus, near the Rue des Files du Calvaire,
there is also to be an arch of great beauty, and
stands are to be erected for about a thousand spec-
tators. In other parts of the Boulevards, about
fifteen triumphal arches are to be erected. One is to
be near the Porte Saint-Martin, another on the
Boulevard Montmartre, another on the Boulevard
des Italiens, another near the Passage de l'Opera,
and another at the entrance of the Rue Royale, in
front of the Madeleine, and finally, there is
to be one of great beauty in the Place de la Con-
corde. In this place, near the terraces of the gar-
dens of the Tuileries, there are to be extensive stands
for spectators. Several of the triumphal arches on
the Boulevards will be constructed with contribu-
tions raised by working men amongst themselves,
and great numbers of workmen of different
trades are to be drawn up at various points
with banners and flags. A great number of old
soldiers, together with deputations from the com-
munes, of the neighbouring departments, of various
charitable societies, Zec., will figure in the day's pro-
ceedings, and will carry splendid flags bearing appro-
priate inscriptions. A great many private houses will
be elegantly decorated. Considerable progress has
already been made in the construction of some of the
triumphal arches. Contrary to the announcement of
some of the newspapers, the Prince does not intend to
visit Notre-Dame to attend the chanting of a Te Deum.
Mr. Lumley having retired from the direction of
the Theatre Italien, the Minister of the Interior has
appointed M. Corti, formerly Director of the Opera
at Milan and Bergamo, his successor. But, taking
into consideration the unfavourable period of Mr.
Lumley's management, arising from the then unset-
tled state of public affairs, Government, we under-
stand, intend granting that gentleman an indemnity
for his losses.
