?ROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

The Session of the Chambers, the longest since the
Restoration, being now closed, the Peers and Deputies
have for the most part left Paris for the baths or their
country houses, and the King is preparing to join the
camp at Luneville. The review at St. Omer last year
gave the King so fair an opportunity of acquiring popu-
larity, by mixing with the troops, and by his presence
in several of the country towns, that it has been deter-
' mined to adopt the same plan every year in different
parts of France, and accordingly the review is to take
place this autumn in the Departments of the Upper
Rhine. The French have long been charged with a
peculiar disposition for exhibitiOns of all sorts, and with
a fondness for the pomp and parade of Royalty; and
it is said that the tour the Duchesi de Beni is nuw
1 making in the Pyrenees and the soatbernprovinces has
apolitical object, •in addition to the gratification the
Duchess will derive from the beautiful scenery of the'
1 Spanish frontier. UndoubYeJtj whatever ietisonaLat-
taehnsent to the Home of Bourbon now exists, is to be
looked for in the country, and not in the metropolis.--
The Parisians know well the value of a settled Go►er,.
matt, and a Constitutional Monarch, and on that
account they respect the Royal Family as the best ar-
rangement that can be made for the administration of
the executive power; but all that enthusiastic affection
of ancient times, when the descendants of Saint Louis
were supposed to wield their sceptres by Divine favour
'and authority, and when submission was considered by
the people as their first duty, has passed away; and the
actual power of the State, as in England, resides in the
Chamber of Diputies. Whether the qualifications of
the Deputies, in point of property, be sufficient to give
'them a personal interest in the preservation of the ex-
isting state of things, is a question for the French to con-
sider well ; but it may be safely affirmed, that noLegis.
lative Body that ever yet sat, acted less upon corrupt
motives, and more for the general good, than the French'
Chamber of Deputies.

The course of studies of the seven Royal Colleges at
Paris, viz. Louis le Grand, Henri Quatre, St. Louis,
Charlemagne, Bourbon, Sr. Barbe, and Stanislaus, is
ended, and the annual distribution of prizes by the
Grand Master of the University, took place this week.
The circumstance that excited the most interest was
the award of a prize, for the second time, to Constan-
tine Negris, a youth born at Constantinople of Greek
parents, and entered at the College of Charlemagne.
It being usual to proclaim the birth places of the sue
cessful competitors, the young Greek implored the Pro-
fessor not to name his; adding, " If my being born at
Constantinople should suggest to any one the idea of
calling me a Turk, I would give him the soundest
threshing he ever received in his life." The Lectures
at the Faculty of Letters and Sciences, held attire for
bonne College, have also closed for the season. The
courses of M. Yillemain on French Literature, of M.
Guizot on Modern History, and of M. Cousin on Phi-
losophy,
have been the most popular, and have been'
printed for the benefit of those who were not fortunate
enough to hear them. M. Cousin was the pupil and
friend of M. Royer Collard, the President of the Cham-
ber of Deputies, and succeeded him in the Philosophical
Chair. He was suspended by the former Government,
and during his absence has visited Germany, and imbued
himself with the various nfetaphysical systems now in
vogue there. The Professor has returned to the Chair
(which, during his suspension. remained vacant, for
want of a competent substitute), amidst the general ap-
plause of enlightened and scientific inen, and now en-
joys the full sunshine of popular favour. Twelve bun-
dred pupils have attended his Lecture Room, and two
thousand five hundred of each of his Lectures have
already been sold. Yon may imagine, therefore, that
his influence is becoming very considerable.
The piece called Aoannt, Pendant; et )fpreipwty
withdrawn from the Theatre Madame, it. it now said,
not by order of the Minister of Interior, bet in compli-
trice with the wishes-of the Duchess de Berri. who did
Apt like such eihibitions in the Theatre dedicated to,
and patronized by her.
