NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT
PARIS, AUGUST 20, 1850.

taken to America by the next steamer is that OF
the death of the late King Of the French, LOUIS
PHILIPPE. He was no longer KING; he would
never more have had part personally in the public
affairs of Europe: but his party is still active, vigo-
rous, and full Of hope in France; the young
Princes his sons burning to connect themselves,
in some way with the actual history of their coun-
try. Party and princes were strongly influenced,
perhaps controlled, by the willy, able, and expe-
rienced old monarch. Having now no acknowl-
edged head in whose skill and experience all may
confde, and which none may dispute, it becomes
a matter not only of interest, but importance to
know what effect upon the conduct of the Princes
and party of Orleans will follow this release from
the moral influence exercised by Louis Philippe.
The Journal des Debats, which is the organ of the
Orleans party in France, and doubtless has its in
formation from the most authentic sources, thus
describes the last hours Of the Ex-King:

President BoNAPARTE has returned from his ex-
cursion to the eastern departments. He traversed
the boulevards last evening between eight and nine
o'clock, with strong escort of cavalry. He was
expected, and immense crowds were out to witness
the ovation which it was said his liegemen of the
"Society of tine 10Th December " were preparing
for him. They did in truth utter along the route
from the railroad terminus to the Elysee occasional
shouts Of Long live the Emperor! But the RePub-
licans were out in much greater force, and made
the ears of the President as he passed on at rapid
trot Jingle with their Uiuats for the republic During
the whole journey the cry Tiue la Republique has
been profered and received as one hostile to the
President. At Metz, three days since, we had the
most remarkable proof of this. The officers of the
National Guard, upon the occasion of their grand re-
ception by the President, had come to the determi
