tending to their manufactures, and distributing, in
peace amongst one another, the rewards and pro-
ducts of their labor and ingenuity. They do not
seem to be affected by the squabbles between the
| President and the General commanding at Paris;
do they listen to the trades of the party jour
nalists about eoups d'etafs. AT present, however,
there seems to be truce between these two heroes.
The President has been busy preparing his Mes
sage to the National Assembly, which met on Mon
day. This document is well spoken Of by all parties here,
and seems to have given great satisfaction in Paris repre-
senta all the leading interests in France being prosperous

turned and almost every bent to catch the first
evidence of the devastating conflict with which that
noble country is threatened. We do not yet de-
spair, however, that peace may still be preserved
but it only be preserved, fear, by the aban-
