FROM OUR Paris CORRESPONDENT.

PARIS, SEPTEMBER l8, 1851.
The ceremony of laying the cornerstone of the
grand central markethouse in Paris, which | in.
terrupted my letter Of Monday to 90 and witness
was accompanied by no incident that repaid nv
trouble. The most interesting portion of it was
the performance by the President, in conformity
with traditional custom, of the ceremony of kissing
the delegation Of market women who presented
him with flowers. He kissed eight Of them in sue
cession, with the grace of Frenchman and the
fervor of candidate. A kind word to each, and
condescending invitation to the chief, who pre-
sented him with an enormous bouquet of violets,
to come and see him next day at the Elysee, quite
won their hearts: and their brawny arms will
doubtless be at his service in case he finds il ne
cessary to make his way to the Tuileries by force
The concluding sentence of his short address, the
only one which contained political allusion, is
generally regarded expressing undiminished con-
hdence that his star is conducting him to empire.
1t was in these words

All passed off quietly upon this occasion. The

effected the last few weeks among the foreign po-

that upwards of ten thousand individuals will be
compelled to abandon the French territory in con-
sequence Of their real pretended connexion with the revo
utonay movements of the day. These measures have ex
cited very strongly the ire Of the republican press and the
