Of the LIST instant says the contrary that these
expenses will be supported by the State 1t is true
that Louis Philippe had the income of the forest

Such is the difference between the two Hsic ciui!es
After such q vote of the ScAate, the nominal Pre-
sidency of Louis Napoleon may be considered as n
humbug, ard an anachronism The system on the
Washingtonian plan is decidedly abandoned as good
for nothing and the empire will soonfo follow despite

man, who is generally well informed that u few
Sex ators having been sent to the Elysee to know,
from the President HIMSELF what sum ofmoney he de-
sired, Louis Napoleon replied that his desires were
quite modest, and that small income would be
sufficient for President of republic for he had

gentlemen, have been obliged to foresec the posi-
bility of an empire, and if l compelled by cir
cuns,ances to accept the title of IN Emperor, wish
it may be done without new expense to France.
/ Therefore, it would be prudent gentlemen to give

and accordingly the dotation of l., 600 francs
was voted by the Senate.
Bat better off than Louis Philippe Louis Napo-
| Icon has no family expenses, while the former King
Of the French had to pay 6000 900 francs to his wife,
! Queen Mary Amelie, and 2, 400, 600 francs to his
children, for their private expenses. And it is well
known that Louis Philippe was so proagal about the
expenses he made for the royal castles entrusted to
his care that he used to spend more that three or
four millions of his own private income for the un
foreseen expenditure of his household Sucha true
appreciation of facts will prove that the lsie cire
OF the President Of France is enormous for the
| French people, and offers an anomalous opposition
to the mock title Of republic, which is still held by
| the government
| Notwithstanding the numerous castles allowed to
! Louis Napoleon, to be used by him private resi-
dences, he persists remaining at the Elysce, where
he has his own habits. The Prince likes to walk when
heis achieving some business and for this the
garden of the Elysee is Of great value to him
The Tuileries is n glass house, and its garden is
opened to everybody
The dotation of the President will be the
cause OF several lawsuits, among which may men
ton that of the right of shooting in the forest of
st. German and Compiegne. 1t must be known
that these two forests, which have been rented to
private individuals, have been in their hands the
source OF an immense speculation, for they used to
sell the game, and to dispose of the rights Of
shooting in favor Of many individuals at so much
($2OO) head for the season. The two men who
have rented the forests Of st. German and Com
piegne are decided either to force the President
to buy their privileges or to give them large in
demnty. At Compegne, the society Of sportsmen,
who are all legitmists, and who have already spent
SG0OO francs for damages occasioned by rabbits and
hares, have decided to maintain their rights by fs
nefds. Who will be the winner!
Though Louis Napoleon has been busily engaged
with the arrangements of his new dotation he has
not neglected several other duties which were of the
utmost Importance for the of his cause In the
first place, may mention the presentation of oaths
Of the Council of State and Of the magistrature which
took place at the Elysee on Monday last As
matter Of course Louis Napoleon has ma de n sreech:
but may say, with the utmost veracity, that this
new pf0hnnctdmcnto is one of the most important
facts since the events of the I'd of December last
Louis Napoleon spoke with much freedom Of the
heirship Of power in his family. at is not only
to man that you make allegiance. said he with
apeculiar voice; "but you also do it to printi-
pie As your readers win see, the Prince President
not only completely confirms the possibility of the
empire but he also anticipates his right to the vote
OF le04 as being of an absolute legitimacy. 1t has
been clear to CRY that the President in calling
the magistrates into the private palace Of the Elysee
a Ia Louis NV, had not forgotten that the same
persons, members of the high court had attempted
to place him under an act of accusation the Sc.
eond Of December Of last year. The brief form of
his speech which he delivered in presence of Messrs
barthe, Portals and Laplagne Barris his eyes fixed
upon these old followers Of the Orleans and other
dynastes, the ostentatioA he had to withdraw as
soon as the persons present had taken their oaths
every thing led to believe that he had still present
to his memory the act of the second of December
and that if he had pardoned the fact, he had not
forgiven the intention.
II is said that all tie members of the government
and office holders of all ranks and classes will be
obliged TO take oath Of allegiance. either now or
within short time. No deny that Louis
Napoleon is right in doing so, for thus he knows who
are his friends and enemies.
The re- coinage OF copper money is about to be
ecutcd by the government: and within n short time.
as soon as the Legislative corps shall have sanctioned
the project, it will be accepted as law. The sum
OF the copper money is about ten millions Of kio-
grammes, which amounts TO fifty millions Of francs

The costume of the representatives seem to meet
with objection among the members of the House.
These gentlemen are too fond Of their liberty
not to refuse to endorse the livery every day. for
the time Of the sitting. Despite the regulations Of

National Hotel Of the lnvalids. and he takes the
place Of General Petit, who. having been named
Senator, cannot keep two public Offices.
Louis Napoleon has decided to spend the spring
and summer season at the chateau of st. Cloud
The two Assemblies the Senate and Corps of Le-
gislature, are slowly working, and though the very
words Of the debates not rendered public by the
medium Of the press, we know enough Of their pro-
ceedngs that need noticing now. 1t had been
rumored that the Prince President intended
to propagate the legislative corps, under the pretext
that there not a sufficient number of laws pre-
pared for their examination 1t is certain that this
proposition made by the ministers to Louis Ma
poleon; but during the vacation Of the holy week,
there will be time enough to prepare new laws, and
among those which are to be presented, will men,
ton the laws on burials, public instruction, penal
colonies. &C.
The distribution Of medals to the army are still
continuing, and will continue, as long Us there is a
regiment left behind without recompense. On sun
day last the President reviewed the Third, Four
teenth, Thirtieth, and Forty-second regiments Of
line, which on the eve OF leaving Paris, and
also the Seventh Of Dragons and the Fourth of

posed O. Marshals Excellmans and the Minister Of
War, Generals Renaut, Alphonse, Rupert, and

of crosses of the legion Of honor distributed to

hood Of the Tuileries; but there was no enthusiasm
either among the behoders or the soldiers.
