THE DAILY TIMES
TIERS FROM PARIS.

The marriage was to have taken place en- the
| 10Th, and the coronation ON the Goth of this
month, but the Pope has defnitivey refused to
come to Paris, and the conservation is deferred
till next May. Bonaparte hopes during the in.
teryal to prevail over the resistance of the Pope
tie is preparing to play his Holiness one of bis
usual tricks to force him to have recourse to a
second intervention; he will haggle for bargain
and impose on the Pope the condition of coming
to crown him at Paris. Meanwhile Bonaparte is
fattering and cajoling the Priests. All Paris was
amazed to read yesterday, in he lloa,teur that
his Majesty the Emperor lad attended mass at
| the Tulerles." On the second of December the
clergy were received at the Tueries. Bonaparte
said to the Cure of St. German l'Auxer-
rois-'' You see, / am become your parshion-

Yates the goodwill of the clergy, in
order to attain the supreme aim of his ambition
to be anointed like Napoleon the Great by the
Pope Just now all the courtier bishops, the
Donnez, the Foussets, 1.-THE names are worthy of
the regime they adorn !)are writing entreaty on
entreaty to the Pope to conquer or change his
determination. But the Pope will not SO easily
yield. A rumour has been current On the SUBJ
Ject OF late that Plus TX and Bonaparte are play

France, the solemn and authentic establishment
OF the Jesuits. Bonaparte rocoils from this con-
diton as an enormity. Yet, if he should not sue
coed in his project of gentle compulsion, have
little doubt ne will yield to the conditions of the
Pope, and consent to the enormity of the re-
| establishment of the Jesuits in France-so great
is his ambition to receive little rancid oil on

ehasseMr of the Italian Guard. Plus TX. served

Since his installation at the Tuileries, Bona

Palace is concerned invisible, inaccessible, I'M

suit. AT the reception on the evening of the End
OF December, the officers of the army were not
even admitted, as in the time of Louis Philippe.
Even held officers were ousted nothing under
general Or colonel could be admitted Anoth-
| er fact was remarked. Before the End of De-
eember, Bonaparte was very prodigal of shaking
hands-he shock hands with verybody. On
that evening, his Majesty no longer deigned to
grant any one this favour. This gave great Of
fence to many of the new "subjects" present,
who found themselves taken in. We do not like
to be played with in France. The sudden affec-
tatlon OF the dignity grleyously offended the COM
pahy present The reception was very cold, aud
the ceremonial not of the most exhirating ma
ture The grand Master of the Ceremonies open

shouted before onaparte-.sThe Emperor, gen.

into two ranks; the Emperor passed on, barely
salutlng MS guests to the right and the Left the
ranks closed again-and-all was over. Moth

was admitted to enjoy the distinguished honour
OF figuring IN the procession of the great man.
Not only Is this mountebank majesty naccessi-
Bile, but the Tuileries is not approachable. The
Palace IS new warded by an extraordinary force
of sentries; there are three times as many as in
Louis Phiippe's time. One cannot walk from
the court of the Tuileries to the gardens. The
good public is henceforth obliged to make long
detour OF minutes to get from the Carrousel to
the Tuieries garden.
The triumphal entry into Paris exactly corre-
sponded with my antieipatory description last
week: and your daily journals will probably have
RECALLED you with descriptions more or less veumi-
nous of that event, so that need not return to
It, except togive you few significant details.
There was no crowd the alleys of the Champs
Elysees were deserted; the population of Paris,
ordinarily so fond of sightseeing, had not taken
any trouble to enjoy the spectacle. The few
people who had come to witness this trumphal
pomp, We're suen and silent No entrain, no
nthusiasm, not the slightest quolabet, not the
least pleasantly. Jacques Bonhomnae is turning
INTO John Bull: he is becoming serious and sui

was conscious of the great act being consumma
ted before Its eyes; one perceived that it was as

Not laugh, did say? Not single cry, l may
add, from the National Guard. There was truly
something sinister and alarming in this silence
