uorEL DE Louvre, [
Paris, July aist, '7s. J
Last summer and autumn were
devoted by the monarchal coalition
to concocting all kinds Of intrigues
and indulging in oil sorts OF iniqui-
ties, to prevent the electoral re-
turn Of 363 republicans, TO call the
Chamber of Deputies Their mum.
ber is now $50 Is the republic
fixture ? Il ought to be but its
administration is characterized by
strange Inconsistencies and positive
feebleness. The Home Minister
makes speeches, in favor OF the con.
stitution, that leaves nothing to be
desired, his colleague at tho War
Office, would not burn blank car
trige to salute the Republic he
would resign, rather than allow the
military bands 70 play the Adr-
selles, and any superior officer who
INDUCES in q shy at the present form
OF government, runs no danger OF
being put under arrest. The Pre-,
mier, NJ. Dufaure, is weakness and
vascilliation itself, respecting the
members Of the Judicial bench, who
strain the quality Of mercy whom the
Republic has Q wrong to be redress
ed, and the late re.sppointment Of
four notorious enemies OF the con
stitution, as councillors OF state has
given o very rude shock TO the fu-
ture tranquil hopes for the country.
Next November will bring warm
reckoning days. The abstetution
from reprisals by the Republic, can
not 90 the length Of placing avowed
enemies in charge Of the Capitol.
The ago OF chivalry being past in
France, explains why Royalists and
Bonapartists do what no Republican
has ever yet done, hold Office under
and pocket emoluments-the gov
ernment they ridicule and oppose.
The receipts continue to diminish
at the Exhibition, though the build
ing be no hotter than elsewhere.
In the Champ de Mars, the galleries
are positively cool, thanks to the
awning, and the fresh air through
the slitted floor. Those desiring O
zero temperature can take up posi-
ton beside an ice making machine
, and lend hand to passing the
"bricks" to the buckets there is
