PARIS, MARCH l3, 1851.
| France affords no political news of much inter-
est TO American readers for this mail. The most
prominent topics Of discussion in the papers and
in political circles is difference that has arisen
between the Executive and the Commission Of the
Legislative Assembly, charged with the elaboration
ofa new law organizing the National Guard. This
subject has been for many months before the COM
mission, but SO little progress has been made that
no hope whatever is entertained that il can be passed
in season for the regulation of the general elections
for officers Of the civic militia, which by law come
on of course on the 25th of this month. By the
law it stands the elections, if permitted to
take place, would officer the National Guard from
colonies inclusive, down to the lowest grades with
Democrats for it is pretty nearly under the reign
of universal suffrage that the elections would be
held Both the President and the Reactionist par
ties in the Assembly are of opinion that the cleo
tions must be adjourned, but M. Bonaparte would
fain adjourn them by an exercise of his executive
authority simply, and refuses to introduce prov-
sonal bill to be passed, urgently authorizing the
adjournment. The stcklers for law and parlia-
menary prerogatve insist upon the BILL and the Government
formally refusing to do So the Commission has resolved to
take the necessary steps in opposition to the Presidential pre-
tensions The bill will probably be introduced to-day
The project Of strengthening the central power BY removal
OF the projects OF departments and Of mayors throughout
France who were not sufficiently devoted to the President
in process Of execution. The Monfeu daily contains the
notice Of numerous transfers and destinations The same
work in the army, evnced by transfers Of officers and eg
ments, is going bravely on.

GEORGETOWN And IT'S AFFAIRS.

GEORGETOWN. October Pop IN.
Our town is unusually quiet at the present
time no subject of interest appears to agitate
the public mind. The advocates of Reform and
Retrocession both have nearly silenced their
batteries, and are lying dormant probably
nursing their wrath to keep it warm until the
regular session Of our councils, when, have no
doubt, both these measures will be pressed upon
their consideration by their respective advo-
Gates. Business Of every kind is brisk, with a
steady increase.
