FRANCE.
Additional particulars have been:reeeived respecting
the reception of Prince Louis Napoleon on his journey
to St. Qantin. his arrival at the different towns on the
route could not have created greater enthusiasm
or have elicited from the population more
gratifying, tributes of their affection towards himself per-
sonally. Taking his departure from Paris on the Northern
Railroad, the President was accompanied by Colonels
Vaudry, Edgar Ney, Major Fleury, Captain Toulongue,
Dr. Cunneen, and the Ministers of War, Public Works,
sad the Interior.

At Pontoiee, at Creil, at Compeigne, at Chaunay, and
at last at St. Quentin, the arrival of the Prince was the
signal for the most vociferous cheers and reiterated
shouts of "Vive la President!" "Vive Napoleon!" The
religious ceremony of the inauguration of the railroad is
thus deseribed :—" As soon as each person occupied the
place allotted to him, the Bishop of Soissons, with
mitre on head and crozier in hand, advanced a few paces
to where Louis Napoleon was seated, and addressed him
in the midst of universal silence. He said that religion was
most happy when blessing the useful industry of man, and
calling down the favour of Heaven on the improvements
and inventions useful to mankind. He cougratulated
the President on the readiness with which he bad
yielded to the wishes of the inhabitants to open in per-
son the railroad. He reminded him that his uncle had
also visited, whi n Consul in 1801. and when Emperor in
1810, that spot, to encourage and hasten on the immense
works of the canal of St. Quentin. The President re-
plied in a becoming manner to the Prelate; and
immediately afterwards the engines advanced to receive
the episcopal benediction. The bishop descended from
the platform, and sprinkling holy water on the read and
on the engines, pronounced three times a solemn blessing
on all. The moment the last pious words were uttered
the band of the National Guard struck up, and the
people uttered a shout of Tim Napoleon,' which was
again and again taken up. The President kissed the
consecrated amethyst on the bishop's finger,
and received his paternal salute in return.
Afte,wards the Prince mounted on horseback and re-
. viewed some 20,000 of the line and National Guards,
being greeted with cries of " Viva Napoleon!" and
sometimes of " Vive l'Empereur 1" At the grand ban-
quetgiven to the President of the Republic. at six o'clock,
in the theatre, in reply te. the toast of his health, the
Prince delivered the following speech:—
" Gentlemen,—Were I always free to follow my own
wishes, I should come amongst you without pomp or
ceremony. I should like to mingle with your labours,
as with your festivities, unknown, in order that I may the
better judge, by myself, of your desires and of y our sen-
timent-- But it seems as if destiny always placed a barrier
between you and me, and I regret that I have never been
able to be a simple citizen of my country. I passed, as
you know, six years of my life at some leagues dis-
tance from this town ; but high walls and moats sepa-
rated me from you ; and, on this day, the duties of au
official position also set arate me from you. Thus it is
that you scarcely know me ; while pains are taken and
efforts employed to discredit in your eyes every act of
mine and every sentiment. Happily, the name I bear
re-assures you, and you know from what a high
source I have derived my convictions. The mis-
sion I have to perform now is not a new one ; its
origin and its object are alike known. When near 48
years ago the First C msul stood on this spot to inaugu-
rate the Canal of St. Quentin, as I do now to inaugurate
your railroad, he came to say to you, Tratquillise
yourselves! the storm has passed away. The great truths
of our Revolution shall triumph through me ; but,
with equal energy, with equal force, I will re-
press modern errors and ancient prejudices, re-
store security, and encourage all useful enterprises.
New sources of industry will arise to enrich our
fields, and improve the condition of our people.' You
have only to look round, my friends, to be convinced
that he has fulfilled his promise. My task is this day
similar, though much less difficult. We must always
accept the good instincts of the revolution, but combat
boldly the bad ones. It is n- cessary to endow the
people with institutions of beneficence and relief, such
as are befitting, and, above all, convince them that
order is the first source of prosperity. But, according to
me, order is not the word void of sense which
each man interprets at his fancy. According to me,
order is the maintenance of all that has been freely
chosen and consented to by the people. It is the na-
tional will triumphing over all factions. Courage then,
citizens of St. Qientin! Continue to do honour to the
nation by the products of your industry. Have confi-
dence in my exertions and those of the Government t
protect your enterprises, and to ameliorate the condition
of your workmen." _ _

On resuming his seat, Louis Napoleon was hailed with
prolonged acclamations.
It was obseived at Chaurnny that the Prince met M.
Odilon Barrot on thk platferm, and that, tor the first
time since the retirement cf the latter from office, they
conversed together for a long while in a maiaier the
moat friendly and familiar.
