this fortunately is easy to accomplish Sofas and tables
and mirrors, of any shape be had for the ordering
and even this, to nation which thinks SO much of types
and is devoted to shadows something But the am

higher than all this He would really be every inch an
emperor And SO far the word signifies monopoly and
concentration of power he is now The outward form

the recent votes they ready accept whatever may
be done Or II they ready to accept they GER
tainly show little disposition oppose Meanwhile the
organization Of the Government provided by the con-
stitution goes rapidly The opening of the Legsa-
ture is to take place the Goth The nauguratng
MONIES is said be celebrated the Tuileries in
the Hall Of the Marshals The members of the Senate,
Of the Corps Legsla and Of the Council Of State
voked the OCCASION will take their oath Of fidelity to
the Constitution and to the President who will be there to
receive it personally. To render the scene still more
solemn and give to it the necessary ecat it will be pre-
ceded by grand mass and all the services will be per-
formed in the presence of the Diplomatic corps the Ma
gstracy and all the high fnctionaries and dgnitares
of the State The regular sessions Of the Senate are to
be held the Palace of the Luxembourg while the other
branch Of the Legislature will meet in the Paas Bourbon
which is ready for their reception and has just had
inscribed upon it the words Corps Legsla in letters of
gold Nearly all the members Of the corps have already
chosen their seats upon the principle Of first come first
TAIN &c. will be permitted and the little handful of
members constituting the opposition will be scattered
about the house like stray sheep.
What is to be the fate of this legislative body and how
long there will be harmony among its MEMBERS is pro-
bem shall not attempt to solve. But French wri
has observed with commendable caution that nearly
all men human" is highly probable that unless the
deputies elect are to be cassed among men not human,
we may anticipate amusing scenes Indeed, with
out such scenes French Assembly, whatever its poll
TICS could not long exist straightforward business
like Legislature is MOTTO French mode of express
sionn the habitudes the traditions of the people Il
wise precauton, therefore, the part of the Co
vernment to provide against any possible ndscretions
being reported In fact saving the dry record of the
official clerk nothing is to be reported and far the
Government it, nothing is to be said 1t is
common remark among the people (who, after all, will
talk that the members to have their mouths sewed
up; but, they may find consolation in the fact
that the operation is to be performed the peoples

would almost appear too, that nothing is to be done
At least this idea would to be conveyed in the fol-
rowIng rurrSs
There will be nothing in the debates of the Corps Lee
gsat to infame party spirit This is evident from the
simple fact that during this session least no political
law of any Importance will be submitted to its debera
occupy themselves only with laws affecting material in
teress and plans for increasing the general prosperity
We repeat that in such matters there will be motive
for retrospective agaton and it, in the absence of real
motives any under vain pretexts seeks to produce
such disorders disturb the public sentiment
side, that will be scandal which the wisdom and the
frmness of the Assembly will not allow to be renewed.
Let the old parliamentary habits them be abandoned and
let all the deputies without exception be penetrated with
this truth that in the spirit of the present constitution
their only mission is to with the Executive power
Loyalty and practically in all which give
the country for the present and the future calm and
curty."
Before leaving this honorable body of do-ttes let me
not forget which prevailed in oil the
papers last week. the Deputies not to be allowed
the honors of livery. The statement had be-
general than the Prince President gave an official
denial to it by pubshnga decree the Monteur ordain
ing costume for the worthy members and describing it
to button. 1t is to consist Of snge-breasted blue
frock coat all buttoned up before, with nine double
gilt eagle buttons and having the cuffs, collars &C. de-
corated with oak and olive leaves embroidered in gold
and silver straghtcut white wastcoat with six bright
eagle buttons white with gold lace bands down
the sides gilt sword with mother of-pearl ht and
eagle-mounted guard; and to ALL beaver hat set
off with black feathers If all this fnery does not
compensate the members for being gagged and handcued
and for being compelled morally and politically TO wear
straght,jacket what will? The only drawback on the
thing appears be the cost which, times go, and as
the Deputies have to take their pay in glory IS no joke
