The speech ofPresident Bonaparte at

most violent character against the Cham.

Ii is stated that his friends have de.
termined upon printing the speech
thinking that the official modification
has injured him in the public opinion.
The Ministers with M. Dupin return
ed TO Paris, and Louis Napoleon follow
ed the next day, with The fu! conscious
ness that he had made political blum
der. On Tuesday the bureaux of the
Assembly met to choose their Presi-
dents, etc, and the Bonapartists were
all excluded to man.
At the re-opening of the museum OF
the Louvre, the President made speech
but did not touch upon politics. He
addressed some complimentary remarks
to Leon Faucher, which served to show
that the report OF the probable resigna-
ton Of ministers is untrue. The Globe
Paris correspondent states that, in con-
sequence OF the news from Portugal =,
the French ambassador at Lisbon had
to give cordial support to the English
ambassador for the protection Of the
person Of the Queen.
Great excitement prevailed in the
Assembly. Upon the first motion, which
was to pensian certain soldiers Of the
line involving principle affecting the
republic, the left opposed the motion,
and il was rejected by BOG to 295. This
is the first blow of the Assembly. But
during the debate a much more impor-
tant incident occurred.
General Changarnier took an oppor-
tunity Of speaking on the question, and
in advancing to the tribune shook hands
ostentatiously with NJ. Leon Fducher
and NJ. Buffet the two ministers. The
General then in few words. spoken
amidst profound attention, said "No man
could induce the army 20 act against
the laws OF the country, and change the
government.
What pretext was there for cnthusi-

The army was deeply penetrated
with the sentiment Of its duties and
dignity, and would never lend itself to
the net Of inflicting on France gov
ernment by torce. THIS was not the
era Of the C@sars, when one Emperor
was deposcd to-day and another raised
to the purple Of drunken Proetorian SOL

The discipline of the army was too
firm to allow il ever 10 march against
the Assembly. Not battalion or
conspiracy could he found to obey +,
chief, if he gave such an order there
fore, representatives, you may deliber-
ate in peace" This intrepid speech
was loudly cheered, and the ministers
having declared officially that the Pres
ident's speech in the Moniteur was the
only version they recognized, the inter
polations upon it were withdrawn, bu
the subject must be resumed in some
ether.
The blow has now been struck by
the President against the Assembly,
and courage ous General vouches for
the loyalty of the army TO that body,
and second General, Cavaignae, is
ready TO draw the sword to support
General Changarnier if necessary.
The Socialist party are in raptures
wi IN Gen. Changarnier's speech, whilst
the organs of the Elysee strive to I'M
dervalue lis importance. Whilst Chan
GARNER and Cavaignac remain, L,uis
Napoleon can never succeed in over
throwing the Republic to make himself
Emperor.
PORTUGAL.
The Duke Of Saldanha, contrary to
expectation, is pursuing a wise and pru-
dent course in Portugal, and he is en-
deavoring to concliate moderate men.
The Scptembrists however, count upon
hisversatiIi'y Of character, and hope TO
overthrow him ere long.
A decree has been issued for the
dissolution of the Cortcs, and for con-
vening new Parliament on the 18th
of September next. There is an unac-
credited report, coming through Paris
from Madrid, that movement against
Sadanha has suddenly burst out in
Portugal, and that several regiments
