The Nj ,st important ard the newest event of the
week Is the trio of the President 60 Poiters, where
the section Of the railway line comprised between
Tours and that city opened on Tuesday last.
The details of that affair were looked for with
,sch anxiety by politicians, who desired to know if
the Presi@ent would make speech as queer and
aggressive as that he made menth ago at Dion.
Fortunately for France, Louis Napoleon was either
better advised or wiser than on the previous occa-
sion. The particulars will be copied, presume,
from the newspapers; but will report the opinions
of the politcisns the language of the President
The speech delivered inside Of that celebrated
City Hall, whhch built in the year 1895, by the
brother of King Charles v, John, Duke of Berry;
and where Joan of Arc, in 1929 gave the King of
France the power to be sacred at Rheims. As
whole, the speech is good, and it would have
been desirable that Louis Napoleon should have
uttered the words at Dion. The world will
Ppreciate them, for they are safe, moderate, and
orciliatsry like to be just all occasions, and
may say that the Mayor of Poitiers showed eour-
ge ana patriotism, as well as Louis Napoleon.
President has the intention to retire into pr yate
ife and to send his resignation to the Legislative
Assembly. Though nobody thought this news true,
has had NE influence upon the funds But this
cloud was gone With the received from Poiters
and still more, Louis Napoleon returned last nigh
to Paris, where he arrived at about o'clock.

Elysee, a series of tetc, to be given weekly, on

strangers of rank in Paris. This, it seems to me,
does lot look like the project of statesman the
eve OF retiring from public TO private life.
! cannot pass in silence the two last reviews
which took place, the first in Paris, the second in
Versailles. Both have been the cause of much
hubbub in the city, not only about the inutty Of
their occurrence, but also for the unconstitutional
shouts which uttered during these military
displays.
Whilst was writing my last letter, and sealing
its envelope, the unfortunate soldiers who had been
present at the review were retiring TO the barracks
after walk Of thirtt en- miles-wheh they had Jade
under burning sun Along the BOulevards and
the streets, their passage, than three hun
dred of these poor fellows falling the ground
half dead and unable 70 proceed any farther. /
must here proclaim, with much pride, that all the
citizens who saw the fact went to the rescue Of
their eountrymen, took them into their houses gave
them refresh meni, and many were sent home in
paid for carriages whilst, in several instances the
drivers refused TO receive any pay, to carry the
soldiers TO their headquarters
AT ~atOry, the review, which was 70 take pla &c
during the day time, passed early ia the morn
ing, and this change disappointed many pers Ons
who had come 20 Versailles expressly to be present
at the grand affair
The members Of the Society of the 10th
Of December did not fail 60 make n show
Of their patriotism and II Is true that one
of them rushed in front of the horse Of Louis
Napoleon and uttered these words -" Vve
Napoleon IL, Emperor Of France | may say
that this enthusiastic Bonapartist was arrested by
the police but, be assure 4, that he will not remain
long time IN the cells Of the COnciergerie, for he
has not committed crime considered worthy Of
beng punished.
An Incident, peculiar enough 10 be mentioned,
took place Tu, sday last, at the National Assem-
bly,, during the Discus Of the law the Stud Of
~ Cloud A member Of the opposition came for
ward, and reported that Louis Napoleon had had
built, for bis private pleasure, Sun ali palace the
ground of the stud, which contained the most ele-
CANT groves, soft lawns, flowers, and sort Of
menagerie Of game If all sort. The object of this
report was to create some scandal but failed, aud
the law was voted without much difficulty, for il
was said that ''ths" was private matter which
was nobOdy's business
The reading ofthe petitions in favor Of the rev
sisn Of the constitution offers much interest, the
1otR de rue Of piquancy; for out of one hundred
names on these petitions, ninety. five are written
with crosses, rather the marks, Of the individuals
This caused wag TO say, that "these petitions
look like graveyard filed with crosses"
Lammenais, the well known socialist priest who
acco ding 20 some reports, called upon the Rev
Father Ventura, one Of the most eloquent preachers
restored into the bosom of the church, has written
an answer IN the papers, In which he denies having
taken any sep ofthe kind.
From Piedmont we learn-from a despatch writ

the Minister Of Foreign Afairs-that the CONNER

the debate which preceded the vote. fgyeral mem.
bers Of the Assembly were rem lrked for the vio-
lenee with which they expressed themselves against
the French government. This was no: only in bad
taste, but also very unjust
