the Nsers of Barritr and the queer, qsant, crazy
gargei is taken with freak Of consancy to stay
NH her. Ask the gh' Sta Of the hngssf snmark Tor

factory Of dploms,c intelligence FIR the foreign rnsr-
kei where you may be satisfied - the easiest terms
Of creoit. Deliver yourselves, pray you dear PoA-
tcisns to absolute abandon all choose the e1phea-
tons ust plesse yO1 most; only leave me Ake
meek ard Rumble drets to graze in the pasture; OF
stubborn realities. And yea ethes, ie; me shan the
sweet religious cever; the triple lilies and the cloudy
hi2h.s Of the Assampton Of the Virgin and bet me
tern aside to browse the carnal stubbe OF Napo-
leor's birth.dsy and et me stand in the shadow OF
,ltft Corsican saint Who made the nciPent hero bis
uezDe sake, ana who is the patron of tbs nephew,
who is now my sovereign.
Let the, after s ak for himself, and you vii see how
he nigh be sbsc1t from the Capital on the day OF
hs feie and how this great sOlemnity he desired
TO be Iruined otherwise than by blazing talOv an1
eolored glassee See how pously he replies to the
Bsbee Of Bay onne this OCCASION
tdossEIor EUR-Usage has demanded an ami
yersary whom the French nation may celebrate the
fete Of its coveregn. In presence Of this general
manfcs sa'jcn and Of the prayers which all France
address to eaS en- is the duty Of the sovereign TO
retire with N himself, and tO seek 10 know ~ ne hAs

homage nd Of 1t his duty above all to pre-

'4Nyu uresence at Bayonne or this day is f.rt that
cite Tiih pleasure. IL proves that France, cah ana
happy, has no longer those fears which obl'te the
Chief of the State "a be always armed aud on he %
r,pc at The capa'. II proves that France can su'-
tain foreign without IL interior iie eessing 10

Thus II appears that this absence which strangers
grumbed at and which natives c)nsidered at least
impolite offered an occasion to his Majesty for quiet
self-exsmipation and prayer, and an opportunity to
prove TO the world by clever experiment that the
Imperial throne is far from being undermined and
that Paris has little nov fear from mulitadinou
gatherings
And in the name Of common sense, since II is the
people who pay the piper, why should they not be
alov Cd TO dance to their hearts content If their
haestes choose to Withdraw for moment the pster-
nal eye from "Ieuys eafaHs," who has the right to
complain
.When the cat away, the mice do play and
believe we all had just as much fun as If GrmalkIn
had been here.
On Monday, the l4th Of August, the National Guard
in their new uniforms reviewed on the Place de Ia
Coneorde by the Commandant of the Armies of Paris
On Tuesday morning, the cannon Of the invalides
usbered in the double sOlemnity-the Assumption Of
the Virgin and the Fete Of Napoleon.
But according to the book the last first and tie
first last.
The bodily ascension Of the Virgin is as m ieh an
article of faith to the Catholic Church is that of
our Lord; and it's anniversary is as regiously cele-
brated az is that Of e ascension o. her Divine Son.
But the Star of the COnqueror seems lately to have
oclpsed the chaste crescent Of this great fetei and
small.voiced Ave Maras are almost drowned by
singing vive Napoleons.
do not mean 30 say that les yfGeles were really
unfaithfa TO their mistress this OCCASION Perhaps
they held their devotons in secret upper chambers,
above the hurly -burlys OF that subceostal Trinity
known as the world, the hesh etc etc.
Cathedral pomps offered compromise between
the fete Celestial and the feie Terrestrial. At mid
day grand mass, followed by Te Deum and Domino
Salvum was celebrated by the Archbishop and his
Wears, at Notre Dame. Speaking after the manner
of men, it was as the aPothe 'ssed hero had taken
the county house Of his Qneen FOR grand reception
and had Issued invitations saying; 80 and She at
at home to. day" Ministers, MGrshals Presidents,
Prefe ,ts, Counselors Senators, Academies, Insti-
tutes, Colleges and Faculties, went in state to render
their bomages to the host or bostess, as they pre-
ferred.
At the Invades military Mass was celebrated
over the tomb Of Napoleon, in presence of his I'm
perial Highness Prince Jerome
During the afternoon, Silistria wes vehemently be-
sieccd on the Champs de M4rs, while 300 tri-coored
n. a, eJsn ,ff Tho alli oil
aoeted in the air around il. OF this gummod silk
aotilla, launched to return no more, come dropped
down their flags, ,me cast anchor II the clouds
.some were wrecked the winds, and others were
lost sight of in the unensity of the blue aeral
During the siege, the fsithfulness OF the scenery
fhe roar and smoke of artillery, aud tho hundreds OF
erce combatants, rendered the action painfully natu-
raj AT the first onset the Champs de NaEe sent up
hur-ah that might have deaiened Waterloo. By-and
bye he srmes took breath; white Gag Suffered
ovs he canvas walls Of Sstria. A blindfoded
Russ.an rode up under the cannon Of the fortress 20
offer terms Of capitulation, and to beg Of Nussa
PashG % betrsy his country, aud to deliver his cta
del teeAe enemy.
"Do you know what they propose to me p
"ToSol you" cries out the insulted Genera to
bis Officers.
Enihps. s.aStc shouts from the spectators rendered
another hsmage to the brave commander. The last
.,antomime caused no less emotion, wheg in tue
.gnidst OF Ss troops, presenting arms and lowering
kheir asgssdussa Pasha, dying, calls his wife and
children and covers them with the flag Of the Otto
man Empipe. The crescent and ss one star stll
foS:,d over s,listris, while the blso&, two-hs&dec
Rnss ian eagle setreated in abasemeni.
Thss natiOna pride was hatsered and French thss,-
rcal tsse grs;insd at infinitely less expense of blood
bulle,s and bouahs than the actual se.,s had cost
