has been decided that the first proposition be made
to the House in the first days Of July next. The plan
Of the Elysee is, to make the Common Councils Of
all the departments OF France claim the immediate
attention Of the Legislative Assembly on that inn
portant subject. Then Louis Napoleon will publish
u message, in which he will urge the Assembly to
obey the wishes of the people. In case the partial
or complete revision of the constitution be rejected,
the ajorty Of the House will propose the proroga
ton, without fixed epoch, Of the House; and in
that the minority do not agree on that subject,
and persist in congregatlng, they are 10 be consd-
cred actious and dispersed by the force u arms.
In the meantime, commission is about being Or
ganzed for the examination Of all the petitions, and
in a short time shall see the dance begin.
The meetings of the Legislative Assembly, dur
ing the last week up to yesterday, nave been very
are, for many people who know we'll the political
situation in which are, the precursor of violent
storm. On Friday last, M. de Girardin, publisher
discussion about the way to take for the examina-
tion of the demands for the revision, mounted the
tribune and, in the most enraged language, swore
that he and his friends were really to protect the
integrity of the constitution and to 60 down in the
street to fight II ose who were not Of his opinion
As one may imagine, these incendiary words were
answered by many members of the majority, who
shouted as if by private understanding, that they
would go to oppose the M0ntagndris. M de-
Girardn was, Of course, called to order, but he did
not much for that, and his effect produced,
which was to create scandal.
The debates on the law for regulating the Ma
tional Guard were also the cause Of much trouble.
No doubt our militia, as it is now organized, is .
very poor institution, but my opinion is, that "one
must not handle the axe" for it is too sharp. The
aim of the government is to keep in the rank of tho
National Guard only those who may be known as
entirely devoted to the politics of the epoch. Such
q thing put into authority, as this moment of our
/ crisis, is like spark upon key Of powder. My
readers will see if am not correct in my views on
\ the subject. Time Will prove il ere long.
The revision of the law on the election, is also
one Of the actual topics. Messrs Baroche and Leon
Faucher a.e much opposed to this step, which, to
their opinion, would not be reasonable In case the
majority should be in favor OF it, their positive in
tenton is TO their resignation TO the President
/ The projected journey OF Louis Napoleon to
Dion, to be present at the opening of the railway,
/ creates also much alarm in the population. Never
did journey to Marty, under the aneien regime,
mere excite the politicians. 1t is said that some
friends Of the President advised him to deliver a
speech, in which he would most solemnly declare
that he renowned the candidature for 1852. do
lot know what has beea the answer of Leuis Ma
poleon, but think may guess it. The Deem
histes have much confidence in that journey to
say that ssomet6ilg g. will be attempted at the
return of the Presidents; at least they have several
strings to their bow and il this coup de main is not
ripe enough, they will make manifestation, under
the pretext of petitions Troops will be sent
against them, and, instead of firing they will fra
ernse with the party, aud this will be the end Of
