Nothing could by possibility be in better taste
an the terse but suggestive speech, in which the
President BONAPARTE addressed the functionaries of
Dijon on the occasion of his arrival amongst them.
Like all the other orations delivered by the Prince
since his elevation to the chief magistracy of the
Republic, the harangue in question will be found on
perusal to have been characterised by that earnest but
unaffected patriotism which has never failed to arouse
the enthusiasm of his fellow-citizens. His reference
in it to the project of a reform in the Constitu-
tion is marked, moreover, by the calmness of an
impassioned spectator, of one perfectly indifferent to
the dictates of either political antipathy or political
predilection. While the terms in which be alludes to
the hostile power of the State, the power unfortunately
by necessity antagonistic to his o namely, that of
the Legislature as contradistinguished from the Ad-
ministration, are of a kind honourable to him as a
statesman in their union of dignity and amenity.
From all these things, it is scarcely possible to
prognosticate otherwise than advantageously to the
Republic, so long as the head of the nation continues
thus true to his oaths ofaallegiance.
Meantime the conspirators against the Constitution
in its entirety are flittering themselves into the belief
±at at this moment there is something more than the
possibility of a Restoration. With the elder and the
younger branch of the house of BOURBON still in ex-
istence, they are even now sanguine that the revolu-
tionary outbreak of 1848 may be turned to the ad-
vantage of Legitimacy—handing over the liberties of
the French people to the more secure custody of the
descendants of their ancient Sovereigns. Availing
themselves of the excitement provoked by the sug-
gested modification of the Constitution, they are
looking forward to the possible, and to them not only
possible, but probable, rupture of the whole of the
existing system. Nevertheless, in defiance of all
these hostile expectations, the true and moderate
Republicans may, we are satisfied, await with the
confidence expressed to the people of Dijon by the
President BONAPARTE, a confidence that the As-
sembly will fulfil its duties of revision in
a patriotic and conscientious spirit, aware of
the awful responsibilities hanging over them
in the emergency, more especially seeing that
the great election of 1852 will come off so very
speedily afterwards. Let each of the representatives
say, as earnestly as Lours NAPOLEON said on Sun-
day, " Whatever duties the nation may impose it
will find me ready to accept, and, believe me, France
shall not perish in my hands." Let them speak thus,
and think thus, and feel thus, and the Republic may
still laugh to scorn the evil machinations of its anta-
gonists. It may survive the plots of the ultra-Legiti-
matists as securely as it did the murderous assaults of
the Red Democrats. We have confidence that such will
be the case, if the majority of the citizens of France
remain true to the examples of probity and patriotism
hitherto afforded by the PRESIDENT.

1 respect to his probity as a statesman, as a mark of
homage to an administrator who had maintained the
integrity of his position, while conserving the peace
and prosperity of the great nation entrusted by
six millions of electors to his superintendence.
Those who are the least predisposed of all men
to applaud the present head of the Democratic
Government of France must acknowledge, in spite
of themselves and their prejudices, that he has :in
truth deserved well of his country hitherto; for Louis
NAPOLEON has, up to this moment, acted in every
manner as became the first magistrate of a republic,
and this in spite of the sinister influence of all his
many dynastic recollections. Himself the son of a
King, the nephew of an Emperor, and the recognized
chieftain of the royal and imperial race of the BONA-
PARTES, elected to the chair of the Presidency by an
overwhelming majority of suffrages, he has nevertheless
set at nought the numberless and inebriating tempta-
tions cast in his way by good fortune, and after
upwards of two years undisputed supremacy he has
still left the power of the democracy unencroached
upon even to the smallest particular. Should the
PRESIDENT continue true to these noble antecedents
up to the close of the period fur which he has been
elected, he will have carved out for himself a niche
in the loftiest portion of the Walhalla of his father
land.

Moored on the lake is seen a real Chinese pleasure junk, with masts
end sails complete. Also Remington's aerial bridge, and various
novelties ; and at dusk will be given, on a scale of surpassing mag-
nificence, a representation of the Closing of the Brazen Gates of the
Temple of Janus, with (for the first time ever attempted) a grand
colossal transparent diaphonie panopticon, showing the horrors of
war and the blessings of peace, terminating with a most brilliant
display of fireworks by Messrs. Southby ; and an allegorical tableau
of the arta and sciences, depositing their treasures at the feet of her
Majesty Queen Victoria, the whole forming the most gorgeous spec-
tacle ever witnessed.

If an ordinary map of London were published,
giving an outline of its subterranean wonders, instead
of its countless streets and palaces, we doubt not but
that even those who are most familiarly acquainted
with the organization of a metropolis would be filled
with absolute astonishment. In that chart would be
represented a net-work of arrangement of the utmost
imaginable intricacy ; in some portions, too, of more
than surprising magnitude. The drainage, the
lighting, and the irrigation of the capital alone
would constitute a labyrinth, the winding of
which would be scarcely calculable by any
customary method of computation. For the
construction and repair of those innumerable channels
for the conveyance of gas, of water, and of sewage
matter, it must be obvious, even without the assist-
ance of such a guide as the one here intimated, that
the utmost ingenuity was requisite. Added to which,
the cost of the whole system of arrangement necessi-
tates, and has for a very considerable number of years
necessitated, an enormous and perpetually increasing
expenditure. Yet, in spite of all these considerations,
it has become nevertheless altogether undeniable that
the vast plans here alluded to are strongly and gla-
ringly inadequate, and with all our boasted advance-
ment in the way of practical civilization, we are still
barbarously ignorant of the capabilities of science, or
of the responsibilities devolving upon those who are
possessed of almost inexhaustible funds, like the citi-
zens of London and Westminster. With this extra-
ordinary amount of capital at their command, and
with two millions of people to care for, the an-
thorities intrusted with the management of these
matters ought, if only out of regard to the
commonest scruples of conscience, to recognize
a large portion at least of the system hitherto
carried on so insufficiently for the comfort and con-
venience of the metropolitan population; not merely
for their comfort and convenience, but likewise, and
in an especial manner, for the improvement of the
public health and the diminution of the general
mortality. These impressions are, happily, by this
time somewhat clearly recognized as reasonable by
the large proportion of the multitude. The sanitary j
movement has, more particularly of late, made con-
verts, not in tens but in thousands, and in tens of
thousands. Everyone, more or less, has become
familiarized with the necessity of removing

,ii,motitude of visitors from the surround-

unanimouslyienthusiastic character. Every conjecture
has, Oreto- urse, been made by this time in the poli
tical circles of the metropolis, every conjecture that
could suggest itself to the most speculative imagina-
tion. The quidnunc: of Paris have already enlarged
upon the circumstance with that regard to the dictates
of common sense for which they have been so
long remarkable. Some of the_ more suspicious
among the Legitimatists are even now beginning to
perceive, in the conduct of the Prince towards the
people of Dijon, the presage of a coup d'etat and in
the conduct of the ]slier to the former, the indication
of a readiness, on the part of some sections of the
community, to connive at the substitution of an im-
perial for a republican form of government. The
more reasonable and conscientious observers must
confess, on the contrary, that, in the accounts re-

cause also to lament the indifference displayed

into account the necessity of burying our dead

necessity of removing the sewerage matter beyond the

Sarnin, and

outermost boundaries of the capital. But as yet no
adequate attention has been paid to requirements ex-
isting in another direction, the want, the absolute and
imperative want of pure water for the consumption of
the inhal ants of London and Westminster. Very
frequentl no doubt, there has been heard a discus-
sion of th• matter, but as yet its discussion has each
time bee allowed to end in resolutions which
have aft* wards proved altogether inopera-
tive. The system of irrigation adopted amongst
us up to the present time is in its character
nauseous enough, heaven knows, to have in-
duced any set of men, however besotted with
a reverence for ancient customs, to set in earnest about
some grand scheme of wholesale and comprehensive
innovation. When it is remembered that the accu-
mulated refuse of the metropolis is poured by a num •
ber of channels into the current of the Thames, and
that yet that same current, thus polluted with name-
less abominations is imbibed by a large mass of the
metropolitan multitude, it must be allowed that
ample cause exists for an immediate and radical
change in our arrangements for the irrigation of the
capital, if only in obedience to the dictates of disgust,
of shame, and of pity. Still, patent as the evil is to
the community, no energetic effort has up to this
moment been made for the better supply of water to the
richest and the most ingenious metropolis in the whole
extent of Christendom. In all this there are assuredly
ample reasons for complaint on the part of the suf-
ferers, on the part of those who are compelled by the
present system to poison themselves daily by drinking
impurities with the current that should, on the con•
trary , invigorate their constitutions. Until this
apathy on the part of our fellow-citizens in regard to
a matter, to them of such infinite importance, shall
have given place to something like a reasonable
display of energy and enterprise, we must
perforce be compelled to recur again and
yet again to this necessity for a great im-
provement. Inasmuch as they tend directly to enforce
the arguments we are here advancing, we would
moreover briefly direct public attention to two
pamphlets bearing immediately upon the subject of
a water supply for London—pamphlets written re-
spectively by the Hon. WILLIAM NarzEn and by
Mr. JOHN TABBERNER.* Erom theirs will he seen
tae nature of the difficulties which have to be over

come before the desired change can be perfected,
difficulties which must inevit.lbly y ie►d in the end to
anything like a reasonable evidence of determination

on the part of a capital so abounding in all the re
quinite resources.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

.
We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The speech of the PRESIDENT of the Republic at
Dijon is the subject of comment in all of them, and
it seems admitted on all hands that the speech as
published differs very materially from the speech as
spoken, and it is said that none were more surprised
than were the Ministers at the impromptu alterations
which the PRESIDENT had made in the speech. M.
LEON FAUCHER, immediately after the delivery of
the speech, declared to the PRESIDENT that if the
speech were published as spoken, the Minis-
try would resign. The Minister having obtained
permission to "cook" the document, at once set
off for Paris by special train, and prepared an ex-
purgated edition of the speech for the Moniteur.
The Ordre states that the speech, as delivered, con-
tained a passage in which the PRESIDENT said, allud-
ing to the Legislative Assembly, "that he had found
a very decided co-operation for the repression of dis-
order, but that when he wished to propose popular
ameliorations he had only met with inertness. The
Ordre regards this as a very violent and gross attack
upon the Assembly. In the Moniteur version of the
speech the following harmless passage occurs :
" They would have seen that neither intrigues, nor
attack; nor the passionate discussions of parties, aro in
harmony with the sentiments and state of the country."
In the speech as spoken after the word intrigues there
came, according to the Siecle, the words of the salons,
and before the word parties there occurred the word
Parliamentary. If the version of the Sicle and of
Ordre be the true one, then may the speech of the PRE-
SIDENT be considered as a declaration of war against
the Assembly, and in this light it is regarded by the
three great fractions of which the Assembly is com-
posed. The Republican National says—
" The language of the President, even softened as it
is, suffices in our eyes to constitute the most grave at-
tack upon the dignity and authority of the Assembly.
The speech at Dijon is an open defiance thrown out to
the Legitimist and Orleanist majority and Republican
minority. M. Bonaparte places himself above the Con-
stitution to put fora ard in face of the legislative power
what he calls his Government. According to the Con-
stitution, there is no other Government than the As-
sembly and the President united, and of these two
powers the second is subordinate to the first. M. Bona-
parte understands things differently. He speaks of the
revision of the Constitution as if it were possible out of
the formal limits of Article 111, and says he is re-
solved to perform the duties which the country mey
impose upon him. The country has nothing to impose
upon M. Bonaparte for the future, but the accomplish-
meat of the oath that he took on the 20th of December.
That is not a new duty, and we are surprised that M.
Bonaparte should consider it necessary fer us to remind
him of it. We place before his eyes the text that he
swore to at the national tribune. In presence of God
and of the French people, represented by the National
Assembly, I swear to be faithful to the democratic Re-
public, one and indivisible, and to perform all the duties
imposed on me by the Constitution.' Now what does
the Constitution say ? that on the second' Sunday in
May, 1852, 31. Bonaparte shall cease to be President of
the Republic, and that he shall not be re-eligible for four
years. This is our only answer for to-day to the de-
claration of Dijon."
The Assemblie Nationale, the organ of M. Glomor
and the fusionists, is still more indignant. It says—
"To whom are addressed these reproaches of intrigues,
this condemnation of attacks, this blame on the passion-
ate discussion of parties? Is it not in the Parliament
that above all political life is produced, is manifested?
The old monarchical parties of whom you speak form
the majority of the Assembly; is it than the majority
which you desired to summon to your bar at the banquet
of Dijon? France, you say, will nut have any return to
the ancient regime under whatever form it may be dis-
guised, nor any attempt at funest or impracticable
utopian schemes. France, you add, has placed con-
fidence in me, because I am the adversary of both
one and the other. But who in France asks for a
return to the old regime? Has not that term been
long thrown aside amidst the old frippery of dema-
gogues and political charlatans? What sense, then, do
you suppose is to be given to the words, ancient regime,
under whatever form it may be disguised, and what is
to be expected from this pretension to represent alone
the future fortune of France, between the revolutionists
and the partizans of monarchy? You speak of the
manoeuvres of factions which paralyzed your good in-
tentions; it is to the parties who are independent of the
Elysfe that the word factions is addressed; and siace
the Executive Power, from the time of the battle of
June, has not been seriously in presence of parties ex-
cept in the Parliament, how can you remove from the
Assembly that strange attack against the adversaries of
a personal policy? You speak of the duties which
the country has imposed on you; but is not the first
of such duties to maintain tranquillity? Is not the
first to respect the Parliamentary power, which has
never failed, whatever may be said to the contrary, in
lending its assistance to all the ameliorations asked for
by the Government? Is it not the first duty of him who
holds the chief power to avoid all that calls to mind
coups d'etat, all that can lead to the belief of an illegal
perspective? In order that France shall not perish
within your hands, in order, at least, that she may not
suffer very grievously, you must observe your oath, and
obey the will of the country, freely and legally expressed.
You ought not to allow yourself to be led away in the
path of temerities, or recommence the campaign of prae-
torian reviews, or submit to the tyranny of a fatal thought
which would swallow up in the failure of a third and last
attempt the remembrance of the good which you have
effected, and of the evil which you have prevented,
during your passage through power."
The Opinion Publique, the organ of the ultra-
Legitimatists, says that this speech places the question
of revision on a new ground, for it is of a nature to
discourage honourable men, who still thought they
might reckon for the future on the moderation and
spirit of conduct of the PRESIDENT of the Republic.
The effect which it produced at the Assembly was a
sentiment of just astonishment and patriotic sadness.
The men, the most calm, and most indulgent, ap-
peared profoundly wounded at this new act of aggres-
sion, being profoundly convinced, that wit such pre,
tensions, there was nothing to be done.
The Union, the organ of M. BERRYER, character-
ises the delivery of the speech as a tact at once serious
and painful; and even the cautious Debuts says—

towed us to bette:tthDiijon. The President had gccus-
him make a better use n"
and,
in general, we had seen
of what he calls his tribune. It
Is to be regretted that at

sufficiently guard it, and
that he thought it necessary to reply to unjust attacks
by reprisals still more unjust."
