the first time in England at this concert. Her voice is
a soprano, the compass of which is three complete oc-
taves; its flexibility is marvellous, and her performance
of an air varie was one of the most wonderful
displays of vocal execution ever witnessed. Paganini
himself never produced more astounding effect on his
violin than did Mademoiselle Aria Zerr with her voice.
The other singers were Herr Mengis, Herr Reichert, M.
Jules Stockhausen, and Miss Bassano. Ernst performed
a fantasia on the violin from the Oteilo in the most ex-
quisite manner imaginable, and afterwards excited the
laughter of his andienco by his humorous rendering of the
"Carnaval de Venice." Madame Parish Alvars was
much and deservedly applauded for the admirable man-
ner in which she performed a fantasia on the harp, and
Signor Bottesini gave a solo on the contra basso, which
is as extraordinary and as perfect of its sort as the solos
of Baumann on the hasscoo. The orchestra, which was
full and complete, was led by Mr. Willy, and the concert
was conducted by M. Lorentz. We have seldom as
stated at a more brilliant concert.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Legitimatists, headed by MM. BEURYER and
DE FALLOUX, have determined to support a mo-
tion for a revision of the Constitution, and, at the
same time, to oppose the re-election of LOUIS NAPO-
LEON. They have published a manifesto to this effect
in the Union. Ia commenting on this manifesto the
Siecie says

" Well, gentlemen in favour of the prolongation of
powers, and you, the President of the Republic, who
swore to restore intact to your suceestor, the Constitu-
tion, what. do you say? Have you read the insolent
manifesto published yesterday? Of what use has it be-n
to you to have decided on the Expedition to Rome, to
have had M. B?rryer amongst your councillors, and to
have carried Cutlet de Montalemb2rt in your carriage
through France. You have allowed, in spite of your•
selves, the Constilutionnel to over and over again ask fur
the,abzogation of Ars. 11 1 of ;he Constitutiou. Your
Procureurs have allowed that journal toltsk, per fns a
nefas, for the prolongation of your leavers. The
Legitimate party profits by it. NVhat we announced
relative to the decision of M. de Falloux was true. Not
only are you repulsed, and refused any countenance, but
the standard is raised egeinst the Republic. The Legi-
timatist party has decided to votefor the total revision of
the Constitution, and, in advance, it is declared that that
vote will be one in favour of Henry V. If you have not
read, read. It is the Union, the most respectable of the
Legitimatist journals, which gives the ultimatum of the
pasty. Thus, no peace, no truce, no adjournment, is
what the Legitimatists declare. The time has gone over
when the question related to the prolongation of powers.
'lt is above all of you that apprehension is felt. his Ma-
jesty, Henry V., signifies to France, through M. Ber-
ryer, to receive the Monarchy in September or October
without more delay. And yet it is the agents of the
Ministry of the Interior, the Prefects, and Sub-Prefects
who are the first to agitate the country in favour of the
revision. We have lull proof of the matter, and when
the proper moment arrives we shall publish them. From
a partial revision the total revision has been arrived at.
It is no longer a question of temporising by extending
the powers of the President; the matter is now simply to
bring back his Majesty, Henry V., under the pretext
that every one is in favour of a change."
At a meeting of the Republican Members of the
Assembly, held on Saturday, the following resolution
was adopted :
"The members of the Republican and Democratic
Opposition, assembled together, declare that in presence
of the law of May 31, which suppresses three millions of
electors, and substitutes a restricted suffrage for uni-
versal suffrage, in presence of the acts which have cur-
tailed the rights and liberties of the people, considering
that all the projects of revision which have been brought
forward are evidently intended not to ameliorate the
Constitution, but to endanger the Republic—considering
all this, the said members declare that they are unani-
mously of opinion that every project of revision ought to
be opposed."
