Representative from Corsica, and he goes
home, to come back again, as he says, with
much larger majority. This gentleman,
am now informed, is the son OF Lucien
Bonaparte now playing so prominnct part
at Rome, in the expulsion OF the Pope. He
was first declared to have been Lucen Lor-
ran, that is the Prince de Caneno; but
think it proves to be his SON. The family of
the Bonapartes have been SO long in exile,
and so much oil the stage Of public life for
the last thirty years that have found it
difficult to meet any Frenchmen who knew
much Of the younger members Of any branch
Of the family. They are now in fair way
to fill a large page in the history Of France,
M. Guizot has been writing metaphys-
cal work during his exile, which is Just
published, and is spoken Of as one Of merit;
he is a fine scholar, and man ofiron nerves.
| have seen few men wEo indicate this lat
ter quality more clearly. think that he has
more intellectual vigor than Thiers-that is,
more strength and force.

The carnival season has set in; and with
its commencement, bal Mosques at the OPP
eras, and other large balls, for public dane
ing. have given your readers, year ago,
some idea OF these extraordinary scenes Of
amusement, at which the whole Partisan
world assists. This year the company Of
masquers came out in new style OF dress,
and of most fantastic character; and, as
usual, they dance till near sunrise in the
morning, commencing at twelve o'clock at
night
The Italian opera is just opened, under a
new management, it having been shut long
time on account Of difficulties external and
internal Madame Rachel also reappears
upon the stage Of the Theatre Francais.-
Many Of the English are coming into Paris,
as the season for soirees, theatres, balls, SC,
approaches. Napoleon will give his first
grand soirees next week, at which all the
world will attend He is represented asa
lover Of gayety, and rumor assigns to him
an irresistible taste for French gayeties and
that was one reason why some Of his minis
try would not consent to be responsible for
him. But this is probably the work Of de-
traction, beyond that which is within the
limits tolerated by all French society. 1t is
quite as likely to be the suggestion Of those
who could not be his intimates, as the result
Of truth yeta great many believe in his sx-
cessive love Of gayeties and some say that
those who have made him President have
assumed more responsibility than they ex-
pected, But do not believe word of the
whole matter. Ills countenance does not
INDICATE a man Of dissipation, nor do his init
mate friends belong to that class Of men. He
has an agreeable countenance, indicative Of
kindness and contentment, and habits of
moderation. do not think that his face IN
dicates very high order Of talent, but it
does indicate good heart, and good habits
The face Of General Cavaignac indicates a
high order Of talent, great tirmness, &c, a
thoughtful and active mind, and silent
mouth-his true character. To General Ca
vaignac was attributed by his enemies, great
ferocity of character, To Napoleon is at
tributed love of display; and that he occu-
pies his time in arranging the livery Of his
servants, and preparing his own and their
dresses for a display. From these facts, or
rather from these lmputations, all can under
stand what qualities are attributed to each,
by the enemies Of each, and, Of course, some
thing Of public impressions.
The news from Rome, this morning is,
that all the people are engaged in preparing
for the new elections of constituent assem-
bly, that the Pope has given some intima-
tons Of desire to concede to the terms de-
manded Of him, but that the people have
answered him, that "it is too late" The
former part Of the statement is undoubtedly
true, but the latter needs confirmation The
committee Of the French Assembly have
UNANIMOUSLY agreed to abolish the caution
money Of $4,000 francs for each daily press,
and substitute personal responsibility and
this idea meets with general favor. An i'm
hense number Of changes were yesterday
made among the Projects of France and
great number Of those appointed under Louis
Philippe were restored to office. The club
Of Rue Potter have unanimously determined
to insist upon an immediate dissolution Of
the Assembly, and a publication ofthe names
Of all who vote against the measure. Par
ties are coming fast to extreme positions,
for and against the Assembly. The Bourse
feels the difficulty, and Of course there is lit
tie business done there-so commerce feels
it greatly The Assembly have resolved
that no work done in the prisons shall be
exposed in the public market, in competition
with that Of men without the prison. The
provisional government deereed that no work
should be done in the prisons; great num-
bers Of the insurgents have been set at lib
erty without any public measure--ess than
two thousand now remain in prison
