The session of the Legislative body Is over since
the 18th ult., and its last breathing has been as
dull as it could be after such paltry beginnng-un-
der so much servty and baseness, as that to which
its members are subjected by the mandate OF blind
obedience which they have accepted from the Emper-
or The session Of the house lasted for hundred and
eight days, and sixty-ive days of that period have
been consecrated to the examination discussion and
vote on the project of laws. These new laws voted
Gb the legislative body amount to two hundred and
three, and among the most important shan mention
the law regulating the budget OF 1884, the laws re-
lative to the pensions owed TO private gentlemen;
the articles referring 10 the declaration OF the jury in
criminal matters; the sentence to be rendered
against those who would commit an attempt against
the Chief OF State or members OF his family; the
law relative TO the institution of Prodhomme; TO the
establishment OF public baths and washing houses,
&c.
The hurry in which all the representatives of the
legislative body seemed to be to abandon the OF
public affairs, and leave Paris, to return to their
leisure hours either in the country in their native
cities, has prevented them from voting on the law
by which literary and artistica property was to
be secured for thirty years in favor OF the widows
engravings, &c. Mr.. Billault, the Speaker of
the House, closed the session with the delivery
OF a short speech, in which he alluded, very plea
sanity, indeed TO the energy OF his colleagues, as
well as TO his own, during the difficulties OF the
present epoch, under the mighty strength of democ-
racy in France. Then the Assembly dispersed, and
dare say that every one of the members seemed to
be more disappointed than satisfied to quit his seat
10 bid adieu 10 MS colleagues.
Who knows if the legislative body will ever meet
again under the present government! This is the

The Senate is still holding its meetings. at the Lux
embcurg, and its session will be closed as soon
as the projects of laws voted by the legislative body
are revised and fully adopted.
The Emperor mas abandoned the Palace Of the
TLlleries Tor the summer season, and has taken
his summer quarters al the Castle OF st. Cloud All
the courtiers and members of the Imperial family
have left Paris, and taken up their quarters in the
neighborhocd of st. Cloud / am told that the inten-
ton OF Louis Napoleon is to remain quiet in his
country palace during the month of jane. In the
beginning Of July he will accompany his wife to the
watering place OF Faux BONES, III the Pyrenees,
from whence they will return about the first Of Au
gust, to he present at the grand tcte which will be
given here on the anniversary day of the Bonaparte
festval-the 18th of August. IL is even whispered
that Louis Napoleon intends. to be consecrated EN-
peror that epoch. Some other people, who are
fond of gosspping, assume that the tete will
on the 10th of September, but no other explanation
is given to that date. As for the coming of the Pope
the Prince OF the Church, to Paris, no other talk is
entertained about it, 1t that the project of in
duciDg Plus TX. to consecrate by his presence the
magnihcelce OF the coronation is totally abandoned

The camp of Satory near Versailles, is in full
activity, and Marshal Magnan has taken the chief
command of all the troops barracked under the white
tents erected on that spot. On Sunday last-which
day had been appointed to pass the review by the
Elnperor-the plateau OF Satory offered the most adj
mirable cotp aiGti. Never has such crowd invaded
that part of the country OF Versailles and the out
lines OF the camp were filed by thick crowd COM
posed Of all sorts Of people, Of the high niddlng and
inferior classes. The mass was celebrated in the
centre part Of the camp by Mr.. Lenercker aifonter
OF the army and at bali.past one O'Clock Louis Ma
poleon, followed by brilliant stall arrived from ST.
Cloud. Immediately the review commenced, and
the sight Of the soldiers either Of cavalry or Infantry
really admirable. A sham hgut Was to follow
the review, but owing to the bad weather and rain
which began to pour down in torrents, the army
allowed TO return 10 its quarters Tie Emperor and
Empress, who met at the end of the review returned
10 ST. Cloud in open carriage and the rain
falling so thick that they both, well two
ladies Of honor and the aids de camp, soaked as if
they had fallen into the water.
Another camp-that OF Helfant, near st. Omer-ls
also completed, and the troops will arrive In the bar
racks at the end Of the week. This new champ de
n'anGurre is situated on tie right Of the river AK
st. Omer, on plain which is seven miles long
and four wide-a agnifcent place for tie display of
strategy and to educate the army in military opera

FAINT The trial OF the gentlemen who had been accused
of high treason against the Emperor and had been
already sentenced by the court, was revised on the
2Sth ut, and did not meet with the issue which had
been expected. The correspondents, as presumed
by the reporters Of the press not acquitted and
set free expected. The sentence of the court
confirmed tie former sentence as to the penalty but
it only brought modification to the fines which
they had been condemned to pay. The Coant of
Coztlogan and the Duke of Ravgo returned back
the swords and other weapons which had been found
in their apartments, and had been considered as
armes dc gueyre. In short, though this new SEN
tence cannot be considered as triumph for tie
respondents, it is somegh hat an honorable gain
for them and they all to be satisfied with it, as
their object was only to humble the government.
The lawsuit which had been commenced at Mar.
settles against the woudbe matter of that torpedo,
which had for its object the destruction OF the life of
Louis Napoleon when he passed through that city in
September last has been totally abandoned by the cr
minal court OF the Emperor. The man called Carl
lard, who was accused Of being the author OF that
attempt to murder the chief OF the State said to
have escaped to Malta and was never taken pr.
soner.
The two governments of Austria and Switzerland
have decidedly interrupted their diplomatic inter
course. Count Karuicki, Charge d'Afairs Of
Austria, has abandoned the Swiss territory and re-
turned to Vienna. Much anxiety is already felt in
the Helvetic republic about the results Of this
political outbreak, though everything leads to
believe that no declaration OF war will follow.
But in the meantime, the Federal council has taken
such steps to protect the territory Of Switzerland
against another invasion Of Austria. levy Of
troops has been ordered, and all the Landwerr will
be ready at the least motion 1t is nevertheless sup
posed that the Populations Of the Swiss cantons sent
10 Vienna, will succeed to smooth all the difficulties.
In Belgium, the return Of King Leopold and his
son, the Duke d Brabant, has been the cause Of
much rejoicing. Never have so many feelings OF de-
yotedness, respect Eand gratitude, been shown to
potentate and his heirs since the time of the middle
ages Such an example Of Difference and love OF the
country is worth being rendered known throughout
the world.

the pIenipotentiary envoy Of Nicholas to Eonstant
nople, is now confirmed and the interests OF the
Russian diplomacy have been left in the hands OF his
representatives. We are at a loss to know what will
be the issue OF this diplomatic difficulty bat all the
wise people OF France and Europe persu AIDED that
cdSuS bali will happen from all that tempest in
tea pot. 1t is generally supposed that there will be
