to the thanks and gratitude of the community.
In the olden time he would have been rewarded for
his exertions with public honours, he must at pre-
sent be contented with the approbation of his own
conscience, and the esteem and respect of those who
can appreciate the great services which he has ren-
dered to his fellow-subjects, more especially to those
engaged in the cultivation of the soil.

On the evening of Monday, after the review, the
PRINCE PRESIDENT gave a grand dinner of seventy
covers to the principal officers who had taken part in
the military operations of the day. He afterwards
went to the ball offered by the town, which was of a
most splendid description, and danced with one of
the seven young village girls, who the day before,
at the procession of the peasants,
had presented him
with a basket of flowers. To each of these young
women the PRINCE had ordered a jewel of value to
be presented from him as a remembrance, and to
the one who had spoken a short compliment to
him on that occasion, he now did the honour of
making her his partner in a quadrille. The PRINCE
withdrew at eleven o'clock, but dancing was kept up
with spirit for several hours later.
The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has con-
ferred the cross of Commander of the Legion of
Honour on Count DE SEGUR, president of the board
of directors ; the cross of Officer on M. VUIGNER,

M. DUTHOUX, engine of the Presidential train . and the cross of
ordi-
nary engineer, first class; M. JAcQUINE, engineer in
chief, who directed the works of the fourth section ;
and on M. HALLOPEAU, chief of the working of the
line.

We find the following in the Debats :
"We are assured that soon after his return from
Strasburg the Prince President will make a slight modi-
fication in his Ministry. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, Vice
President of the Senate, will, it is said, be named Mi-
nister of Foreign Affairs; M. Turgot will become Mi-
nister of State; M. Magne will be named Minister of
Public Works in the room of M. Lefebvre-Durufli; M,
de Casablanca will be President of the Section of
Public Works at the Council of State in the room of M,
Magne, and M. Lefebvre-Durufle, will be made a mem-
ber of the Senate."
The Algiers journals announce that the expedi-
tion of General MONTAUBA.N on the frontiers of
Morocco had terminated, and been crowned with
complete success. The hostile tribes had made
their submission after soliciting the mediation of the
EMPEROR in the hope of obtaining better terms.
The Coistitutionnel has an article on railroads, in
which it recommends, now that the great lines are
nearly completed, that the secondary lines shall be
undertaken, but with great regard to economy, in
order that with a comparatively small amount of
capital this mode of communication in France may
become general. The Constitutionnel refers to what
has taken place in other countries, to show that it is
possible to construct railroads at a much lower rate
per league than has been expended on the great lines
in France, where enormous sums have been absorbed
by stations and works of architecture, which were not
absolutely necessary, but which on lines of great
traffic, and likely to make large returns, were more
than excusable.
