Our politics are dull, and so much the better, if
such state of things could last. But, with peo-
pie like the French, with cur excitements and dis
position to change, nothing can be said Of the actual
permanency of the mode of government.
The session of the Legislative Assembly has
been very quiet, and nothing of much interest has
taken place, with the exception of M de Monta-
lembert's proposal to vote law by which the Sab
bath day shall be observed by the whole nation,
under penalties of differeat kinds. The report of
the honorable representative was written with
great TALENT and, taking the example of the repub-
lie Of the United Staes, where the seventh day is
given TO the Lord, he observed with much reason,
that the proposed law, instead of being in opposi-
ton 10 democratic government was, on the con-
trary, in favor oft He said alse:-" If the Social
list reformers claiming, in their speeches and
writings, the right 10 labor, come TO this tribune
to claim for the people the right to repose." This
report was listened 10 with the utmost attention,
and was often interrupted by deafening applause.
The Montsgnards were, of course, very angry. A
Voltairian smile was on the lips of each of these
men. One exclaimed, at the end of the speech,
"Amenp and another requested the president of
the house, 10 send the report to the unatic asy-
lum." The majority kept a most digniiied atti-
tude. This important question will be resumed,
after short period, and IT is to be hoped that
favorable solution Will be the result of the general
demand
Another proposal was made by M. de Saint
Priest, relative TO law against usury. Ii was
presented 10 the Assembly but nothing, as yet, has
hetn decided In political circles, il is said that
another demand Is To be made, in short time, for

Louis Napoleon, on the anniversary of the 10th
December, sent TO the thirteenth ward of Paris
sum Of 1000 francs, 10 be distributed by the
mayor OF the city among the poor. Sach a cha
rity is far from being bamable; but you know well
thai under our republican government the Minister
OF State, The Governor OF the State, mayor, and
common council, are the only persons author lied
10 give 10 the poor, whilst Mr.. Fillmore has no
power 10 do II, except VIII his own money. Why

the Duchess OF Orleans was AT Versailles with her
son, aud her brother-ln-lax, the Dake de Mont

N.pTeu, formerly architect OF King Louis Philippe.
