Mercer House last evening.
Sergeant WIZ. PEEL said that, owing TO the primary

TIE RIGHT OF EXPATRIATION.

The opinion of the Attorney General upon the right
of expatIation the bulk whereof transmitted by
telegraph, is as follows:
ATToRNEY-GEsERAL's OFFICE, Aug. IL, 1857.
The note of Count Moptgelss, transmitted to your
Department through Mr. Vroom, our Minister at Ber-
ln asks for an explanation of the opinion given by
MIR. Gushing in October last on the right OF an Amer
can citizen to expatriate himself.
The specified case put by Count Montgelas is that
of julius AmthOr, native of Irmelbauseu, in Bava-
ria, who came to this country, and, after being
paturalized returned again TO Bavaria His effort to
recover his status native of Bavaria seems TO be
impeded by doubt which the authorities there enter
tain the question whether he throw Oft his ale
glance to the United States and, so, in what manner
is it to be dOnc2
There IS no statute or other law of the United States
which prevents either native or naturalized citizen
from severng his political connection with this Gov
ernment if he proper to do so, i'll time OF peace
and for purpose not directly injurious to the interests
OF the country.
There is no mode Of remuneration prescribed. In
my opinion, if he emigrstes, carries his family and
effects with him, manifests plain intention not to
return takes up his permanent residence abroad, and
ASSUMES the obligation Of sub ject to foreign Gov
previous relations with the United States; and
do not think we could or would afterward claim
from him any Of the duties of a citizen. At all
events, the fact of remuneration is to be estab-
lshed, like other facts for which there is no pre-
scribed form of proof, by any evidence which will
convince the judgment. Ii s for the authorities Of
Bavaria to determine first, whether they will admit
Mr.. AmthOr TO the privileges enjoyed by native sub
ect of their King without al express renunciation Of
his American citizenship. If this be decided in the
negatve-that s to say if they demand from him
express ienuncstonthey may take it and it 10
be authenticated in what form they please. They
may demand an oath of ohjuraton as tes. of his
sincerity, or as necessary part Of his tle TO the
future prote cton Of the Bavaran Government.
Whatever satisfies them ought to be sstisactoytO US
since, in all similar cases, prescribe rules
for the admission Of Bayarian subjects citizens o.
the United States.
l have spoken Of the laws Of the United States.
Virginia and Kentucky two Of the States have stat
utes which require certain formula or remuneration
Of citizenship But those ctatuies have application
to this case. do not understand Mr. Amthor to
have resided in either Of hose States. II the Federal
Government gives him up his obligations to the par
tcular State in which be lived it could hardly into
any practical conflict with those which he il about to
assume toward his native country.
am very respectfully. yours &c, J. S. BLACK.

AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.

PARIS, Aug. 20, loj7.
We have nothing to mark the week except
change Of weather and the fete Of the 18th August
what the religious name Assumpton-what the
Napoleonico. religious name le Saint Napoleon
what officials in Paris proclaim and post as Fete
Nationale-whst country Mayors and the irreligious
Nspoleonists name as Fete de rEmpereur. The
weather change is to comfortable GOODNESS and
frequent rains. The rains are just what was wanted
to plump out the grapes at their present stage Of
growth. They do little harm TO the grain crop,
which 10 generally harvested in excellent order.
The Fete went off much usual, only that the out
asof part Of it was damaged BY the rain that fell al
day. At the opera houses and nearly all the thea
ters performances were given gratis. 1t may seem
rather curious to your readers that the popular
tAropg was largest at the opera houses. The illu-
ninations got up by order Of the authorities were
very brilliant and tasteful; those offered by Jealous
grocers and other private persons were dimuer
and simmer than they have been on preceding occa-
sions of the kind. The rain held up at night long
enough TO make place for the fireworks, which 6led
it with the customary parti'oolored, explosive gor
Qeousness and sulphurous stencil. There was the
distribution Of decorations Of the Legion Of Honor
10 few writers and t. many politicians and fighting
men, that is always made at this fete and there
was giving out of the medal, recently decrced
to all surviving soldiers who fought for France be-
tween 1872 and 1914. This medal bears the ef'iges
of the first Emperor with the legend: Cam
"pagpes de 1892 1915: ses compagnons de
"glcire, sa derniere pens6e S Mai ls2l." 1t is Of
bronze, should cost by the quantity some three sous
and, considered an institution, is both economic
and pslic--a cheap substitute for pension and al
ingenious means Of fostering the traditions of the
old Imperial glones which are the best support Of
dyDAstic pretensions.
On the 18th the Louvre was inaugurated. The
ceremony does not appear from the published
rruorts TO have been very interesting or imposing.
Tke Emperor made little speech, quite inferior to
nost oftbe little speeches he has made in public
thin the psst eight years-not better than one OF
.ny commonplace Congressman, except that it was
shoYt-
respondent than any Of these fetes by order, and
