NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
From OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT
PARIS, july 30, 1851.


has altered even to greater extent than is usual the
physiognomy of the city. All Parisians whose
avocatiOns will permit them leave Paris are in the
country, or gone to spend few weeks at some one
Of the numerous watering places which have beer
opened of late years within the limits of the Repub
lic. Sc. Germain Fontainbleau, st. Cloud, Enghien
Dieppe, the Pyrenees, Maisons Laftte, and Vichy
are thronged with the denizens OF the capital; and
vet the Boulevards, the Tuileries, the Champs
Eysees, and the fashionable promenade of the Bois
de Boulogne are thronged as of fine day in win-
sr But at least three in four of the persons above
the laboring and tradesman class that you meet in
these quarters Of the capital are foreigners Ger
mans, English, and this summer probably in quite
equal numbers, Americans. To these strangers,
after next week, the city will be almost totally
abandoned; for despite the animosities of all par
dies toward each other, and the universal misgiving
0f the public mind as TO the antrepublican Wishes
and intentions of the President il is well understood
chat the National Assembly is upon the eve Of voting
itself recess of ten or twelve weeks. The dates
at present accepted are from goth of August to Goth
of October. The two great Parliamentary clubs,
shaI Of the Rue des Pyramides, (Bonaparsist) and
chat of the Rue de Rivol, Uegitimist have already
saed meetings for the purpose of agreeing upon the
composition of the Permanent Commission which
- TO remain in Paris invested with the power of
eouvoking the Assembly before the expiration of
uhe term Of adjournment if circumstances should
arise TO make i expedient. There are signs that
rae fear Of the Red Spectre will induce an alli-
znce for the election Of this commission of the
mOnarchist parties against the republican. Last
summer several decided republicans found place in
dae commission. The Legitimsts fear the Demo-
crxts more than the Imperalists and will endeavor
entirely to exclude all members of the Left, even
LAnoRIclERE and CAvAIcNAc. Yet every day is
afording additional proof Of the illegal and revolu-
sonary character Of the ends Of the Bonapartists
During the vacation the project Of overwhelming
fhe Assembly with corrupt petitions is to be zeal
oasly prosecuted in favor Of revision. The total
number of petitioners will probably be forced up
text for disregarding the Constitution and proceed
ing to irregular revision Of the Constitution or even
TO impudent violation Of it. One Of the organs of
this party says:
The people that has no liking for The eternal takers Of
me Assembly nor respect for the Parliamentary roues and
hen intgues will write upon its ballot factious
