THE FRENCH PRESIDENT.

lFROM TIE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT or THE rDIBUSrl
PARIS. Oct. l2.-Wben the unfortunate Marshal
hurried down. the other day, to his own place. near
Orleans, he did so, really, in order 10 escape from
the daily increasing worries of political life, which
are becoming rnther too much for his capacity of en-
durance say "political.' and not "ofiioai life,
for to the complicated routine OF the latter the
Marshal is not especially averse bis mind takes in
and conforms itself TO any amount Of superficial
conventional duties involving even, large portion
Of physical fatigne, bat labor of intelligence or
Thought. Since the journeys to the South, and the
uncquiyocal disfayOr manifested 10 the Government
by the public, the Marshaps temper has not i'm
proved, and all those around him have 10 suffer from
perpetual outbreaks of anger, and from the bitter re-
proacnes that are inevitable IN cases like the present.
wlere a man Of inferior capacity has been
led into committing a mistake in the dark.
Those. too, who. in his intimacy were at first all
ahame with the apparent certainty of success-such
for instance, as the Yicomto dIarcOur and few
of his relatives and cunnectiOns-haye become less
boastful. This has altogether modified the Mar
shal'5 per5onal situation. On Nay 16 and almost mp

most glorious undertaking. But nov that he is III
