and the event of the 29th did not surprise him. A
mass had been ordered by his Majesty in spirit Of
gratitude to Divine Providence for removing from
him the threatened calamity. After the event it
was converted into one of thanksgiving for the
satisfactory condition of the Empress condition,
in fact, SO satisfactory that few hours afterwards,
it being the Sabbath his Majesty evinced the little
uneasiness it afforded him by amusing himself upon
the race-course.
The Imperial family is still at the Tuileries, but
it is expected that they will take up their resi-

it is fair to conclude that NAPOLEON has not yet aban-
doned all hope of obtaining the services Of the Pope upon
the occasion His Holiness there but little doubt has

law which authorizes the executive arbitrarily transfer
appropriations from chapter to another of the
department after the budget whole has been voted.

Finances could be used to invest the budget upon its
presentation to the Assembly for Legislative sanction,
with much less Objectionable dress and air than il will
afterwards have in practical execution.
