[FROM TUE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRBuNLl
PARIS. Oct. 1.-The late Louis Napoleon i'll
one OF ms speeches. after promising peace abroad
and liberty at home added "Our present task is to
form the national manners to the practice of free III
sttutions." There are still people, exclusive OF
members of the Bonaparlist faction, who 30 on re-
GREETING the good times of the Empire and repeat
ing one or the other-oftcn in their logical way
both of these pr, positions: "Ihe French not fit
for free institutions :" THE French had more lib
crty under the Empire than they have under the
Republic Among the many facts AT band relutlng
both Of these statements, the Autumn nlineuvers
of our politicians is bringing one just now INTO
growing and gratifying prominence. The practice
of making public speeches, first INDUCED in by Gam
beta few years ago. was then held by all Con
servativcs and by some Liberals to he acting "a
vulgar demagoglc but it il now fairly accliIated
in tho public manners of France Despite the state
of siege covering half the territory including more
than half the population and nine-tentfs OF the
newspaper Offices in the Republic, NJ. Buffet himself
falls into this democratic practice and his brother
recently he attempted to remove by words the evil
impression left on the popular mind by his official
career Not lay passes now that the papers do not
bring rs rcpors OF Giscourses uttered by orators of
all parties nj the meetings Of agricultural societies
and other occasions. The open air free stump
is not vet grown on this newly cultured
republican soil, but it will come in time.
These speeches taken together, offer curious lndca-
tions OF the state and evolution of parties. They all
have for their principal theme the new Republican
constitution, and a sort of Autumn maneuVeis
preparatory TO the campaign that Will begin with
the National Assembly and close with the general
election. Returning from the Autumn military
maneuvers, last week the Marshal made halt at
Roncn Great preparations had been made for his
honorable reception in the capital town OF Nor
mandy. The Cardinal Archbishop ard the Project
Of the Department and other prominent officials hav
ing addressed him, there entered on the scene N.
Raou Duyal, the abest of the Imperlalist
leaders. who said to the Marshal, that
despite disagrcements on certain questions.
he could count on his frmest support. The listening
President bowed. and NJ. Duyal added, I'VE had 1T
at heart TO tell YOU So" The GOODNESS displayed by
the President on this occasion is understood 10 mean
that he has renowned all sympathy with BOnapart-
ism Other speeches and political declarations In
the press render il evident that the disagreement
between the Bonaparists and considerable portion
Of their late Conservative allies Is widening, and
that in the evolution of parties" now going Oh,
they will assume more distinct position than they
have hitherto held. The rupture between the Or
leanis,s and Chambordsts being now well nigh alb
solute and irremedable, the Imperialists count on
drawing pure Legtimsts to join with them in fac
tors support OF The Prince Imperial.
