PARGs, Aug. 5, 1850.
The Assembly is now completely disbanded.
Yesterday was the last day for serious business,
though they will not formally adjourn for the
ton ull Saturday evening. They have been pass
ing important bills at railroad speed without dis
cussion. Yesterday the liberty OF the press was
annullcd in the French colonies, and the power o
arbitrary suspension placed in the hands of the
Governor, without permitting even the rcprescn
tatyes Of those colonies TO present their views in
opposition. Fifteen general laws and multitude
OF local oncs were thus hastily voted as in the last
days Of our Congress.
The President has caused to be announced his

An excursion 10 the South is TO succeed; and THE

The military camp at Versailles was viewed with
evil an eye by the public, the press, and the
scmbly, thattbe project has been abandoned, though
the iiucs had been already traced and the prcpara-
tory works considerably progressed. General Ou-
dinot of the assembly, with several Of his military
colleagues in the assembly, and even portion OF
the ministry, decidedly opposed TO the plan.
IL feared that IL was intended 10 institute there
a sort Of prcturian cohort, that might, in the
old Roman war, support his prctensOns ~ the cui-

BY the way, he reviewed yesterday two magnif-
cent corps OF troops recently formed-the Republi-
can Guard and the Gendarmerio Mobile. thought,
as their close ranks passet beneath my window,
that had never seen finer body Of troops- all
choice men, of mature age, much above the Ordi-
nary stature old soldiers taken from the regiments
OF the line, and from the dispersed ranks, far "a
they could be remustcrcj, Of the famous Municipal
ard Of the late reign. Ii is notorious, too that
every individual OF those corps is devoted to The

After the review, NJ. Bonaparte entertained, at the
Elysee all the officers and sub-Uihccrs. For purely
civil functonary the lOndncss of the President iUr

may effect by military force. NJ Bonapartc has only
place officers devoted to himself at the head of the
army, and he may be borne any day upon bayonets

in finding officers TO his mind. They most OF them
belong, by the prciudices OF birth aud education, TO
one other OF the two royallst families And were
the officers found, it would be difhCult matter To
aprortion to them their respective commands with
out woundng suscepubilities aud awakening sus-
picions, which would make the decisive blow very
difficult 10 strike.
| In presence of the numerous facts which have
come TO light proving the enormous extent To which
universal suffrage IL Impingcd upon by the recent
| electoral laN, an attempt ~ns made yesterday TO
carry resolution through the Assembly, requiring
the Minister OF the Interior TO cause "a be drawn
up to be presented To the assembly, at the open

a RESOLUTION, If passed would have afforded some
evidence OF the good faith of the assembly in enact
