PARIS, AUG. 30.  Yesterday, the city of Paris—brilliant as in the days of her most splendid festivals—beheld a magnificent army pouring from her bosom. She knew that her National Guard hod organized gent uniforms appearing in all quarters,—the murmurs of a fervent enthusiasm,—the activity of certain species of workshops—ell announced the speefly production of a mighty poWer, amid the throes of a laborious birth. But who could have imagined that .on the 29th of August, within 15 days after their re-organization, 12 legions amounting to more than 50,000 men would have appeared in the Champ de Mars,all completely armed and equipped, marching like disciplined veteran's? I was present at this grand scene, and can only compare it to that celebrated day of the federation of 1790, of which I was also a witness. The splendour of the great day of 1790 has been effaced. 1 struggle with the emotions under the impression of which I still labour, in order to maintain a severe impartiality of judgment. More then2so,ooo spectators crowned the heights t hat surround the Champ de Mars, and beheld With equal pride andastonishment this sudden creation of liberty. At the extremity of this immense arena a military tent was raised for the use of the King; it was elevated upon several steps, and decorated with forryeight standards, which the National Guard were about to receive from the hands of their new Monarch. These banners, which one moment floated around the King, and in the next were carried from the foot of the throne to the centre of each battalion, presented a sight the most delightful, and were received with inexpressible transports of enthusiasm. The delegates of each battalion began to take the oath, which was afterwards to be repeated by their entire battalions. At this instant all the troops elevated their caps and chimes on the points of their bayonets, and this action produced an effect impo sible to be described. The Journals will furnish you with a number of details which I must omit; and you will find recorded in them the speeches of the King, which my distance from the spot did not allow me to hear, On the balcony of the Military School was observed a group dressed in deep mourning. This was the Queen, her sister, the eight children, and the Court. All hearts throbbed at the sight of this fine and distinguished family, and it was regretted that a recent calamity did not permit them to exhibit themselves in gala dresses. fhe King wore the uniform of the National Guard. end the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour. The review commenced at one o'clock in the afternoon, and lasted six hours. Louis Philippe was received with uninterrupted acclamations by all the troops and the entire body of spectators. Never was the sympathy of a people with their Prince more unequivocally exhibited. It was no longer a monarch imposed upon France by foreigners, hut a King chosen by the nation The National Guard of Paris will amount to 70,000 men before the 15th of September next, and the National Guards of the kingdom will exceed 100,000. Lyons can already number 25,000 men completely organized. Henceforth no citizen will be unarmed, and the country, bristling with steel, need. not fear either for the maintenance of the laws or the. preservation of independence. The death of Monsieur le Due de Bourbon, Prince de Conde, has created a strong sensation, The suicide of this Prince can only be accounted for on the supposition of a 'sudden aberration of intellect. At an advanced age he enjoyed vigorous health ; his fortiine was considerable, and he was beloved anti respected by 'the public. The late political events did not seem to have affected him his good sense had enabled him to foresee the catastrophe, which did not surprise him. It is said, that being solicited by a lady, whom he honoured with a particular regard, to adopt measures of Tittrenchment and economy • in his household, he reluctantly determined to relinquish his bunting establishment. On retiring to retiring to reit upon Tuesday evening, he observed to shine of his people that be felt no vexation on his own account.; that he should never be unhappy in Con,equenee of the retrenchment, but that he was afflicted when he thought of the condition of :the .servants whom he had dismissed, and whose allowances were too small to satisfy their necessities. It is thought that this, idea worked upon his brain during the night and threw him into e state of excitement, which led to the fatal resolution that put un'end to his life. AL; le Due d'Aurnale is said to be his heir. •  There (las been presented to the Chamber a project of a laW which re-open; the gates of the realm to the exiles of 1814., An article in it continues the, exile, of the Iluonaparte family. Thixarrangement has been occasioned by considerations too high for every body to appreenste.. Already complaints are uttered. Some require that there shall be no exceptions with respect to any class of exiles ; others merely demand the admission of women connected by blood or marriage with the family of Napoleon. It isdesirable that at the present moment no discus. sion shall be excited in the Chamber on the subject. Desires for the presence of the Duke de Reichstadt will be culpable; they would be, rejected by the nation. No spirit has been manifested calling for a return to an order of things which never again can be renewed.
