Among the excitements Of the festival Of the 18th
stant, politics, n may be easily believed, has been
neglected, and have but few items worthy being
EsAtioned in this correspondence.
Notwithstanding the assurance given by Louis Ma
Dslesn that his new ministry was firm, there have
been rumors spread outside by which the public was
I'D 10 believe that another change YVES ut and among
The Presidents ministers 1t was said that M de
Persigny was TO become Minister of State IN place
Of n. Fould, who would resume his former Ministry
Of Finance, and replace NJ Bineau. III Baroche
would become Minister of the Interior and Vice
President of the State Council. M. dc Maupas was
also named as having many chances to become
Minister of the Interior. Then NJ Pietrie, the ac-
tual Project Of the Police, was to become Minister
Of the Police, and NJ. Chcvreau, Secretary Of NJ de
Pelsigny, Project Of Police.
An the above news had been published by the
Journal La Gasdte de France, in its number of the
l4th inst, and the reporter had only folio we'd the
runner which was spread in the diplomatic circles
bot the police was not satisfied with this news, thus
rendered public, and warning No. l was given to
n. de Lourdonex on this subject. Though the
government denies having had any idea Of the kind,
there has been much talk of this change at St. Cloud
between the President and his friends and the news
had been made publ c by an indiscretion.
The second cause Of gossip was also the amnesty
given by Louis Napoleon to some OF the leading %
6tical persons exiled by him, after the coup d'aa
Ra-
dsau, and De Lamoricerc were particularly except
ed. 1t had been supposed that, among the eight
hundred people who would be grac,es by decree,
these dignitaries Of the army, whose only fault
- have been the opponents to Louis Napoleon,
would be included, but this has not been the case.
The official almanac Of the army in which all the
STAT major Of the French troops is published, does
contain the names of the above mentioned gene
rails, who, according 10 reports, ore totally erased
nom the ranks OF the army.
4 rumo-, which fortunately had no truth, is th IT
General Bedeau was to enter into a convent aud be
rdo,ge priest. The illustrious general has writ
ten a letter denying that he ever had any idea Of
the kind.
An avalanche Of crosses of the Legion of Honor
has been falling upon those devoted 10 the govern
ment, on the occasion of the 10Th inst. Several
members of the press, among whom l will name al.
Delamarre, publisher of La Pafrte, M. DE la Guer-
ropDer, publisher of the Pays, and NJ. de Montour,
An ex editor, have been honored with the red rib
bon.
By decree Of the 18th inst, Count d'Ornans,
general Of division, Senator, and grand cr0ir Of
the Legion Of Honor has been named Grand ChaHcel-
Dor Of that order, in place Of General xcellmans,
dead.
The marriage of Louis Napoleon to the Princess
Vass, is now considered by some newspapers as a
humbug, invented by the correspondents Of the Bel
gan papers, to fiji their letters and to make money
At twenty five cenhmes the line. When men write
IN that manner we cannot be surprised to hear of
such stun filing the public mind. Nevertheless,
every safe report makes believe that Louis Napo
lsen will be united ere long to Princess Vasa
The President is daily visiting the workmen of
Paris ut the different places where they engaged
on the public works, and he pays much attention
to the progress of the embellishments Of Paris.
Like his uncle Louis Napoleon likes to arrive unex
pected the spot, only followed by one or two of
bis aids de camp and to see everything by himself.
No one can deny that he tries means to be popular,
and if he does not succeed it will not be his fault
Besides all this, the President writes great deal
during his leisure hours, and he has collected an
immense number of papers, which he keeps in a
private room at the Elysee. A few days ago, Con
Saturday las) whilst he was at st. Cloud, fire
broke in that room, and, despite the immediate
arrival Of the fremen it did SO much damage that a
great part Of these papers were burnt Fortunately
several servants were able 10 rescue the reqarc OF
the Emperor, being all the articles which had been
IN the possession Of Napoleon the grcat-arms, jew
els Clothes and aso the talisman of Charlem agne
Of yeiiquaRe, which contained part of the holy
Cross, and Had been presehtedt to the Emperor Napo
leon by the city of AK laChapelle, and given by the
Emperor to Queen Hor:ense. Though many valua-
Bile documents have also been saved by the servants
and fremen, too many others became the prey Of
the flames.
Much talk has been entertained here about the
queer letter of NJ Proudhon, the renowned socialist
writer, to Louis Napoleon, with the intention to OBJ
tain from him the permission OF issuing book,
which he has composed during his Imprisonment.
Something very curious to remark is, that ~ Proud
hon, the ferocious red republican. bad so much
changed since 1913 that he has become a fat.erer
Of the present government.
Ne. har nc
Jerome to the principal psrts of the channel and
ocean on the shores Of France, is over. Everywhere
the ex- king has been received with the utmost
tesy and enthusiasm, more perhaps than ever would
be the President himself. He returned from Brest
Saturday last and arrived at Paris just in time to
St. Cloud Cloud " ~ w ' ~ "
In Africa, the young Murat, elder son of Prince
Iurat, has won much glory on the battle fields of
Algeria, and was rewarded with the advance
ment of brigadier, from the rank of common sol
der; for it will be remembered that he had enlisted
AZ a volunteer a few months ago.
The Minister Of Public Instruction has forbidden
in all the public schools of France and its Colonies
the use Of the French history written by the Je
suit Loriquet, in which the author lad called the EN-
peror Napoleon Marquis Of Bonapayte, Commander
General OF the armies Of his Majesty Louis XVIII.
At such epoch ours, with the progress CT intel
lpence, false hood similar TO that OF the Father
Lorquet's qualification Of Emperor Napoleons title,
was really shameful and deserved to be treated
with repression,
PriI ce Royal Frederick Guillanm, Elector Of
Hesse Cassel, travelling in cog. under the name of
Count Schaumbourg, arrived in Paris a few days
ago, accompanied by all his family. This grandee
Of Germany, is one Of the finest looking men ] ever
saw, ana am told he is one Of the best diplomats
Of Europe.
la Italy the Duteby Of Plaisance is without
duke. This sovereign left his palace and his wife,
having had with her some difficulties, and went 10
Vienna, in order to settle some questions relative to
h,s government, which, it is well known, is still
under the power Of the Austrian forces regency
has been named by the Emperor, and this had
excited the anger Of the Duke to high pitch. The
Dutebess Of Berry has interfered in the affair, and
il is hoped she will succeed in establishing peace
between the husband and wife.
The mother Of Mazzni died at Genoa, and her
obseauies took place with great solemnty. The
