The debates OF the National Assembly have been
very dull during the past week. The only TOPICS Of
conversation are the project Of law OF the three
millions Of france proposed by Mr.. Fould, for the
expenses Of the Presidency. That affair has taken,
all at once, Kind Of grave aspect, by the threaten
ing declaration Of the Elyscsn journals. Thataug-
mentaton Of salary is not precisely dcmlnied, but
IL is enacted by the pariisans OF the President, who
put IL forward az question s'rs qilq non, for Louis
Napoleon stay at the head Of our government.
Let me tell you that this demand is altogether
popular, and that It has been presented al very
inopportune moment. After the promulEation Of
such law as that on the elections, which had
been forced in the National Assembly, and voted
only because the chief Of the governme ut
sadly exposed to and trrcuic, il has been
sidered something unusual and injurious, 10 ask
boldly such a large amount % funds. A fraction
Of the ma jorfy has proposed not to allow the whole
amount demanded by the executive power, hut to
paw all the debts which have been, ull now, con.
iraoted by the President; but this has been rejected
with much contempt, for il would lead to the sup
position th0t the lTttldthCl was VI VI
pawnbrokers Nevertheless, It Is doubtful whether
the law will be accepted and admitted by the Ma
tional ASS mbly or not. Three millions OF francs
are certainly large amount for a single man. II
would be too much for the United States, where
Zachary Tayler IL not Obliged to make many ex-
penses, to help many people coming to ASK fof
aims either politically or personally; 10 give re-
ceptions, &c, &c. These things are not deemed
necessary for the Amencan President while they
are Indispensable for the French chief magistrate
Any one who has the least studied our manners,
knows very well that Louis Napoleon could not
live in a "White House ~ the Champ Fty,tfs,
receiving the ambassadors of the foreign natisns in
a small paror, hiding in borouohs, aud giving only
dinners TO his intimate friends and relations. The
more the mountain now groans about the demand
Of these three millions, the more the people would
throw a contemptuous emile upon our President N
be was living in such simple and retired life. |
think, democrstically speaking, that such sumr-
tuous style is not that Of true republican magis-
uaie; but II is 4" French" by all means, and this
IL sufficient snswer TO any reproach. rsr-st u,
II v doubtful as yet II the Law will pass the Ma
tional Assembly, bot Il ought not 10 be rejected,
Cor then would be an insult TO France, 10 the per-
son 81 ne representative.
A very piquant,s~ d, ssot has been made by Mr..
Dupin, the SPEAKER 81 the IIouse. relating TO this
