Politics very dull at this moment; and if we

means but intrigue. Unfortunately, the ParisiaA

The re-opening of the Legislative Assembly,
which took place Thursday last, offered a very
unexpected series Of peaceful meetings. during
which affair of much interest was discussed. Al,
the votes have been matters scted with rail-
ways agriculture, the ad ninistration af depart
ments, regulations of all kind and laws for the geR-
eral welfare IL seems al this moment that the elo-
quence Of our orators, the lungs of statesnea,
at rest, taking ne ;cssary repose in order to
possess all the strength which will be required in
fortnight, when the long announced proposition foe
the revision Of the constitution will be produced
This will be, in fact, the gordian knot. But whs
will cut it Who will dare TO take upon his own
shoulders the power to decide upon a matter Of such
high INTEREST," | feel persuaded from al. that

anticipated We shall see.
While all this stGtu quo holds, the partisans Of
Louis Napoleon ale doing al in their power to se-
votes in favor Of the revision of the constu-
tion One OF the II ,st important steps taken by the

sion Of The President, or by his own intention, hs

small apartment in the Faubourg de Honore.
The infiaaes Of the old soldier. who knew well By
their friend the result and details Of that interview,
have rendered public all the particulars Of the
vorsation which took place between the Two states
men. "llow unfortunate" said M. de Persigny to
the General, THAT such a. great man. you are
should be obliged TO dwell in such simple house,'

The anniversary Of the 9Th Of May Is very near,
and many preparations Of all sorts are made, 70
celebrate that day in gorgeous style. All the
Partisan press have published sort Of manifesto,
which was pretended, by the Elysian papers, as
having been written by the socialists, with the OBJ
jet Of calling their associates 70 arms, IN order
10 create a row, aud then TO make, II possible, .
revolution on the occasion Of that gala day. lhsvs
very carefully read that proyocation, and may
say with much confidence, that II was never writ
ten by the leading men Of the party. They are,
indeed, too cunning to commit themselves In that
way More still-I am induced to believe that this
inccndary pamphlet is the work Of the government,
whose intention was to find an occasion to revive
the war against the party. As far as to-day, this
rrovocation, instead Of revving the dispute, has
had the contrary effect, aud all the newspapers
which are In favor Of the republic, have published
long articles requesting most earnestly, their ionds

On the other side II Is said that the Dtoep,bisss

the death Of Napoleon the Great, after the cere-
mony which will take place on Monday next, at the
