Politics are decidedly dull. No one can COM
plain about il in France. This moment of calm
and quietness is employed by those who still pos
love for their country to consider what is to be
done during the next campaign. There are but
few representatives now in Paris. Many Of them
have left for their departments; some others went
to the watering places, and a certain number, the
big heads, have taken the road either Of Claremont
or Frodshorf.
The ministers of Louis Napoleon are taking va
cations, each in his turn M Leon Faucher, who
paid visit to London, has returned, after having
been received with the utmost atfability by her
Majesty, and the whole court and aristocracy. M.
Baroche left Paris on Tuesday last, on his way to
Vicby. His interim will be filed by the Minister
OF thu Navy. M. earlier, the able Minister of
Police, feels ants on his calves" and wishes to
leave the rue de Jerusalem, and visit Belgium and
Prussia.
AS for the President, it is now certain that he
will begin his tour to the west of France a. the
end OF the month. The voyage to Bordeaux is de-
cidedly settled, and We shall enjoy the renewal Of
al the solemn receptions, bombastic speeches, in
cendary replies, and made-up enthusiasm which
took place last year during the journey to Lyons.
A second edition is wanted and perhaps the
publishers will try to have il followed by the

success lies abyss, and it is dangerous to leap

Mr. Boulay de la Meurthre, the Vice president of
the French Republic, married, two days ago a
young lady of the city OF Provins. Louis Napoleon.
instead Of being present himself at the wedding of
his colleague, sent one of his aidde-camps in his
place. This was considered quite cavalier, and
may cay that it did not meet with public approba-
tion. Very likely the President wishes, before his
departure, to organise the ministry which to
take the place of the present. MIR. Odillon Barrot
is often visiting the Elysee, and it is whispered in
certain quarters that he would perhaps be the re-
.S1Watspr Of this new Council of State.
The candidature of Prince Joinville is still on the
taps, and though it has not made step forwards,
Il will pt rhaps be kept thus as long as it seems
that he has no chance whatever.
w no could believe that the legtimists Of q GER
tain clique have put forward for their candidate NJ
de Ia Rocheaquelin! This Is so funny that it needs
no commentary.
AS for the rouges, they still pretend to have
desire that M. Nadand may be elected, and, after
all, it would be quite democratic to see a mason
seated in the presidential arm chair. NJ. Dupin,
tae Speaker Of the House, who is one of the best
wits Of Paris, replied to one Of his friends, who

was So the friends of the old time of France wou ID

The fete in CONNIE morltion Of the Emperor Ma
peieon, which tsek place on the 18th OF August,
was celebrated this year with much eclat, though
II was not constitutional and right on the part of
the government to allow it, At the Invalids a
graac mass was celebrated. All the InYaldes, as
well as the soldiers of the garrison were present;
but this was a quiet affair, whilst in the evening
the 9ecenraiHards assembled in several CqbQretS at
La Barriere du Trone and there, inter pocuia when
the blue wine had made its ordinary effect, they
began to sing revolutionary hymns in favor of the
Emperor, AID to shout, Vive Napoleon II Very
curious to say, the police, which is always on the
qr, rtre, and ready on all occasions to preyen. the
socialists and legitmis from assembling anywhere
did not seem to know anything about it, and, as We
say IN French, they did fGme les ycur.
In the city of Perigueux, the Prefect wto is
creature Of Louis Napoleon, himself organized the
festival Of his uncle. Upon theatre built for the
occasion, on the Place dArmes, there was a scene
represe nting "the Emperor opening his arms 10
his son, in the residence ofheroesafter their death
Thi, picture was surrounded by garlands and
flowers Fireworks were burnt on the occasion. and
the military music, during the ony, performed
al the patriotic hymns Of the Empire. As may
be seen, all this was particularly made up with the

the Contempt Of all beholders.
The journal La Seulatns, weekly paper Of great
merit, was sentenced yesterday in the persons Of
Nessrs. Coo and Sarrans, the first for having pub
lshed, and the second for having written, an ar
ticle against the government, which considered
rs very violent, and calculated to excite the mob
against the government. Mr.. Cog was sentenced
to three months imprisonment, and 600 francs fne;
and Mr.. Sarrans TO six months in prison, and the
same amount of money.
MIR, Charles Hugo, who is now at the Concier-
gerie for the same action as that which has caused
the sentence of Messrs Cog and Sarraus, received,
q few days ago, long address, signed by the edi-
tors and reporters Of Great Britain and Ireland.
This compliment was much regarded by the young

The legitmsts will soon have occasion to meet
with the Count Of Chambord. The representative
OF toe hereditary monarchy will arrive on the 18th
instant at Wiesbaden. The apartments for the
Prince and his suite have already been engaged
A riot Of a very bad character has taken place in
the village Of Laurac, in the Department OF Lar
decne The mob assaulted the gendarmes and the
national guards, and pelted then With stones.
Seven gendarmes were killed; but finally peace
was restored, aud many arrests took place. The
cause Of all this Tacas was that the soldiers Of
government did not with the socialists Of the eoun-
try TO sing some Of their demagogue songs.
The Inauguration Of the railway from Orleans

cause Of great solemnity, to which the President
had been invited, well as all Of his ministers,
with the celebrated statesmen Of France. Louis
Napoleon was not present, but be sent, on his be-
hall the Minister Of Commerce and Agriculture.
M. Murat, who was also the spot, created much

that one would have believed that all the honors
we're to be rendered to him. How far was this be-

is told relative to Prince Murat. As it Is known
