There has been much talk during the last week,
relative to the contrast between the journeys of
Louis Napoleon to Dion, his incendary speech
and marks Of hostility towards the National AS
sembly, with the peaceful and sans aeon excursion
of President Fillmore, in the Northern States of the
Union. Whilst, in the United States, the chiefof
the government was received all over the country,
with marks of respect and enthusiasm, when he
went upon the railways, steamboats, and stages of
the country, only protected by q few friends and
the public love; here; the first magistrate of
France met with the greatest Indifference, and if
there were on his way shouts uttered, those who
spoke in his favor, were bought with money, en-
gagged with grog and brandy, andhe was surrounded
by regiment of Dragons, who protected his life
against a coup de nam. Though all the blame,
particularly when one considers the bad passions
which are raging in France, is not to be thrown
Louis Napoleon, l cannot refrain from saying
that, instead Of employing bitter language against
the National Assembly, the President Of France
ought to have had the wisdom OF Mr. Fillmore and
in the quiet and eloquent style Of his speeches. Well,
perhaps there is some Of the sang roid and dignity
of the American nation wantedin France, and much
time will be required to obtain a lite Of these
qualities
Having, thus far, failed to raise the enthusiasm
Of the French people, Louis Napoleon, it is said,
intends to take another journey, and am told that
in fortnight it will be announced that he is going
to visit the south Of the country. The pretext Of
that new excursion, will be the Inauguration Of he
railway of Poitiers, which will take place in the
middle of July; Thence the President will proceed
to Bordeaux, Toulouse, Montpelier, Nsmes, Mar
settles, and from Aresto Vaence, Lyons and Paris
do not know as yet, what are really the wishes Of
Louis Napoleon, but no one can refrain from be-
lievng that his only ambition is to be carried the
shield, and elected second Emperor of the French
people. Alas this is but dream, and l am much
afraid that the waking will be dreadful.
The military banquets are still call the go" at
10th Leger of Infantry dined with the President,
and the motto of Louis "Banquets are my
tribune, and use such means to be pOpular"-was
again put into action This evening the staff Of the
garrison Of Paris will find seats around the presi-
Dental table.
In the meantime, the seides of the President are
busry engaged in the propagation 1.-THE lists which
are to be signed by voters in favor Of the revision of
the constitution, and the extension of Louis Napo-
Icons term am told by person in whom have
much confidence, that one Of the most intimate
friends of the Eysee has tried to settle arrange
ment between the family dOrleans and the Pres-
dent. BY such an alliance the Oreanists would
facilitate the continuation of the presidential powers
till the majority Of the Count of Paris, when, by
trick OF diplomacy, the son Of the Duke of Orleans
may be returned to the throne of his grandfather.
M. Dupin, after short journey to the Exhibition
of London, has returned to Paris, and resumed his
position as Speaker Of the Legislative Assembly.
am told that this gentleman, whose wit is cele-
brated all over Europe, being Intercepted by an
English statesman about the prospects of Louis
Napoleon, said "Well, our President has been in
the habit of conspiring during all his life, and
he ia conspiring against himself"
vote was passed on Tuesday afternoon, at the
Assembly, by which 30, 900 francs were appropriated
for supply Of silver ware and other materials for
the service Of Nj. Dupins table. The Speaker of
the House receives weekly, at his hotel, large
number of guests, and he must, Of course, be a
meme to do nobly the honors of his hotel
1t is whispered in some quarters, tn at change of
minister is a. hand in the Department of War Ge-
neral andon has demanded and obtained the COM
mand Of Algeria, in the place Of General d Haul
Poul: General Aupick, therefore, will become
Minister of War.
nj. Creton, one of the members of the Legislative
Assembly, deposited, on Tuesday last, proposition
Of an "Appeal to the people. in favor either of
monarchy or the republic" One of the articles of
that proposition says that, the people decide
for monarchy, the Assembly, on the principles Of
the law Of May 81, 1850, would choose the king

main, which cannot succeed. In such great deoi-

Messrs Ledru Roln, Magrini, Arnold, Ruge,
and Darras, editors and writers of the journal
titled La Poir dn Prosolt, have published a
upon the democrats of France, for it met with the
appreciation Of all the utras of the party. In this
manifesto terror is repudiated, but universal war
is considered as inevitable, necessary, and legiti
mate, for the triumph of good and sound principles
In my opinion, this language, though mild and |
moderate, if compared with that of the socialists,
is not to be listened to by the partisans of repub

Two newspapers, opposed in politics TO the |
government of the Elysee-the MessdgT de IDS
SonHee and L'Ertnement-have been tried this
week, under the accusation Of having published |
articles to cause disorder in the country.
The first of these articles was relative to the pre-
tended order given by the government to tse off,
the first demand made for their presence. This
order was denied by the government, but the jour.
naist, having tried to prove that he was right in
his assertion, the ro,wew of the republic had the

defence long letter, under the shape of a docu-
ment, in which M. earlier himself declaring
himself against the supporters CT the Elysee, and
quent defense, the NesSoge was sentenced to three
ears imprisonment.
AS for the Er6nomeaf. one Of its eiitors-M
Victor Hugo-had published, on the occasion Of
a very violent article the penalty of death, in
which he said that it violation Of divine laws
and that in civilized country such a punishment
ought to be abolished. As a matter of cjurse, tho
lawsuit was directed against him, and the case was
brought up yesterday M. Victor Hugo, the
father of this young writer pleaded A favor Of his
son, who, despite very eloquent speech, was SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment and fne of
