The topic of the week has been the dotation OF
the President. Despite all conJectures about the
new ministry of Louis Napoleon presenting the de-
mand on Friday last, it appears that when the mo-
ment to act, OF rather to speak, arrived, the Minis
ter of Finance hesitated, and the communication |
was postponed 10 another day In order to prepare
the ground, several newspapers, devoted to the
President published, on Saturday last long list OF
expenses incurred by Louis Napoleon, in his posi-
lion as chief of the republic. According 10 these
calculations, the President was spending eleven |
hundred thousand francs year in charitable pur-
moses There wss also, bill for dinners and par
lies given weekly at the Eysee and 1t was cacu-
,,ed that eyery dinner cost 500 frances and every
hall from ! 900 to 5000 francs. Thus, Louis Ma
,o,.on,s sxpenditures are IL 900 francs week, or
20 0c0 francs month After this ta!ion dessdi, a
!, was called by the neutral press, when everyr hug
seemed ready TO strike the great blow, on Mo nday
the Sd inst, the minister having got 81 4ficies:
stock of courage, assembled the tribune, and ere
sented the demand for an ALLEGATION o. lSooO0
francs additional to the regular salary of the Presi-
dent After short interruption, caus ed by this IN
cldent the project was delivered In the hands Of
the buTeaux, vine deliberated upon 1t, and who gave
yesterday, The report of their RESOLUTION. Alas
am sorry TO say that II was far from being favorable
10 the demsnd; and will OILY say, that among
the voters 3S7 opposed TO il, whilst there were
oy PIP IN It's favor. Though this is but preliml-
nary or provisional trial, am persuaded that, if
the ministry does not withdraw its demand (and
fear toe latsl, the decisive vote will be stll
I should say that this demand, though a neces-
sary one-foFit is well ksown that there is great
want OF money IL the golfers Of the President--was
quite inoppCrgune, a. ibis time. Ii the Elyseean
newspapers have made up the bills OF Louis Napo-
leon The rate Of three millions, the other presses
of the opposljlcn have calculated that there were
also 275 600 francs voted for additional expenses
which had not been noticed on the bill In Short
if throw aside all the bad disposition felt in the
Legislative Assembly for the dotaton OF the Pre-
eide NJ and ii only consider the actual position of
the House towards the Elysee, may say that there
ID more hostility ian is dreamed of generally.
sort OF threat has been MADE to the Legislative
Assembly by the journals devoted 10 LOUIS Napo-
leon. They have said that in case the additional
funds demanded as dotation, shall be refused, an
appeal will be made to the people, under the name
OF "Nsiionai Subscription tor the President"
which will soon bring the whole amount CT money
necessary 10 grease the wheels OF our political
steamboat. What would be the result of this new
and desperate stage do not know. But if go
back to the national subscription made some years
ago for General Foy. aud for Mr.. Laiiilte, who
were more popular than Louis Napoleon con-
sider that this appeal the people would be a
failure, shameful on the pa, of those who try IT,
well as for the one for whom II is attempted 10
carry il into eiit CT

state Of our affairs; and l only compare

Another threat, also, has been made by the
Elysee through the public press. II counted on a
project TO prorogue The National Assembly. TINS,

Two very curious incidents. worth being men.

days. The first i the Withdrawal OF thu law su

is it that, month ego, the creditor had not taken
