1t is not customary put epgraphs to Paris letters

over the leaves of the Beggars Opera it seemed 10
quite GprOpoS of what had been reading in the Noai'
teur of the conduct Of the Legislative Body. Louis
Napoleon is sufficiently familiar with English literature,
and should not wonder if the truth were known that
he has been humming that very song, substituting

Certainly he has not spared cost care 10 the
getting up Of the Body solemnly constituted
impostuTe for stage effect in his farce of COnstltu
tiOna Government. He brought forward It's members,
prettiy dressed and, he thought, we'll drilled to walk
through the part of legislature the manager brings
forward mimic army He had no more intention that
the Deputies should interfere in the making Of laws at
the Palais Bourbon than tie manager has that the
pernumeraTies should to blows before the foot
lights On occasions, especially at the close OF the
last years session. when they had essayed 70 vndicate
right to the expression Of their thoughts they have
ceiyed such hints AID kicks speedily reduced them TO
silence This year, with the exception Of two or three
members whose recdlcitrati0ns | have noted they
occurred they have been submissive the most
acting master could desire But after ALL in spite OF
iLeir oaths, and wages and livery, they are men-
Freuchmen. Now, FTenchmen are ready speakers, aud
have a natural talent for OratOry The lecturers at the

Dentist DuchesDe spend that amount OF eo1uence in
promoting tie sale Of his tooth powders among listen

one of our State Legislatures or make him one of its

then laughed at, is eminently disagreeable.
The Deputies have WINGED under the lash Of their
master but they have borne it, They have endeayOred
70 treat it az chastisement and not insult. The
difference is essential The unlocking public interpret
il otherwise they ridcule the Deputies This the lat
fer fud harder 10 bear And so it is, perhaps more
from vanity than pride, that they have recently made
some attempt at f,eesPeaking % bill Tor Pensonng
retired oicehOlleIs there was al approach 70 free
discussion and at the end nearly hundred members
dared vote against its adoption Last week, when the
BUDGET was under discussion several speakers made re-
marks of degree Of bodness that has astonshed the
town or that part Of the town known under the style Of
~nolitical circles" NJ Flayigny's speech is much
talked Of Without ventuIing direct attack which, in
deed would have been impossible, he managed by allu
sion inference and Implication to criticse, with much
severity the general policy Of Government and tendency
Of its acts he called in question the justice Of the
DEGREES of 22d January cOnfscang the Orleans estates
he more than ntimated the likelihood OF the estimated
equilibrium of 1854 proving 70 be only an estimale
And NJ Favcny managed to do this so ngeniousyas not
10 overpass the very narrow limit within which President
Billault confines discussion.
The next DAY MontaIembert rose not he said to make
srcech That ridiculous in view of the condition
In 9hchthe Body placed by the Constitution and the
amendments Of ast December condition in which he
could lot support bis words by his vote he only spoke
that il might ct be said of him 10 this ease, silence gives
consent His consent lie would not give TO the Budget
m included in its estimate Of receipts, monies arising
from the sale Of the Orleans property ordered by the
dfcrees OF 22d January To for the estimates as
h stood vas to approve those DEGREES H. as the Pres
6ent said those DEGREES had b. the Constitution the
rce ofaSs and if their legality could not be doubted
be still objected TO the Legislatures sanctOning them.
To ask tie Legislature 10 approve them waste ask them
to do what the Republicans and Socialists in the midst of
der triumph in -45 did dare to undertake itwasto
ak it 70 approve hat the Council of State itself ap-
proved ony by majority # one. Il had been said that
The DEGREES had the force Of laws he thought il would
be better to say they had force against law for he knew
Of dictatorship plebsitRm that could authorize
any one TO make laws against right against property,
against conscience AZ it seemed to him, the Chamber
was asked 10 Join in the grayes attack that had been
made upon the principle of property in the nineteenth
century 1t was the reestabishment Of cOnscatiOn in its
most odous form. He saw in the voting for the Budget
the sanction OF an act against which he protested and de-
clined all participation in it the responsibility of It,
which would fall upon the Chamber ne dsaTowed before
God ard the country and the future.
Ihave given only the more striking of MOntalembert's
remarks, which we're frequently interrupted in their
by the President. He replied 10, at length
as Fayigny had previously been, by Government Com
missioner Ii these defenses that as much as the
attack give to the recent reports of the Legislative
sions their invented Parliamentary character.
In his replies Mr. Baroche did not take more pains to
the objections of his opponents than to hold up
their dscoures in proof Of the liberty OF speech granted
TO them The s Of his speeches to the Deputies
There, now, you see how free you are here two
of your Members who have talked against US you are
not gagged; you must not mind the pestent fellows
who mock at your sayshness II the evident inter-
est of the Emperor TO spare little the vanity Of the
Body, and so these things have been permitted az the
