THE VLI ENC ti tpjj &

We have received the Pe; is journals of yestere:ay.
Thnroecrt, thet a slight would he thrown on the
newiy.org,riezed National Guards, by retracting the
order for a public distribution of the Eagles, would
eppear to have been founded on a releappreneeeeee.
The Fatrie, which had cetintenaneed the report, now
has the f& lowing •
"From intormstion which we have received we can
now affirm that there will be a review of the National
Geard and a distribution of Eagles on the 15tb. It was
honed that the liztional Guards of the departments
inight have taken Pitt in the ceremony; • but as
their organization is not sufficiently complete, the
Eagles will he delivered to them by the local eutho-
cities. The National Giaard of the oeplrtment of the
Seine will alone be convoked for the ceremony of
the 15th."
The Mon4eur copies and authenticates the latter
statement ot. the Patric.
Toe Moniteur contains a notice of the elections for
councils-general and councils of arrondissements,
which is of some importance as a declaration of the
determination of the Government to profit by the
trust reposed on it for the consolidation of tranquillity
and the development of credit and national prosperity.

Government, but that some account ought to be
telt of. the abstentions arising from the
absence of candidateshipe representing 6ifferent
political principles. This absence, however,
is not a very couelusive argument for the opposition,
for it may be ascribed to a conviction of the hopeless-
ness of a struggle against the Government, and is
therefore au indication of the influence that the latter
has over the electors.. The Moniteur is silent on this
point. It assumes that the result of tree elections, as
far as they have gene,
shows the confidence reposed
in the Government, and promises to make use of it in
a sense favourable to the true interests of the country.
This announcement coming at the moment when the
party spirit was endeavouring to cause it to be be-
lieved that the Government was desirous of popue
larity with the nisiises, in order to diminish the in-
fluence of the bourgeoisie, must tend to tranquilize
that important class of the naion ; for if the power
derived from universal suffrage be exercised in sup-
port of credit and industry, the bourgeoisie must of
necessity be placed in the position that it ought to
possess, end it will be its own fault if it does not
msietain that position.
A decree weich is published in the Moniteur con-
vokes the Councils- General for the 23d inst.

the most legidinate of sovereigns."
The following letter of the Bishop of GAP to the
Bishop of Onntews, on the vexed question of classical
education, is going the round of the Paris papers, most
of wbieh present it as an astonishing specimen of ec-
clesiastical olasphemy
