But a very particular circumstance, which 1 | ‘was not before aware of, is, that the ‘Prince President,” (Lis present new title) went from the Elysée to the church, in a small coupé, which was lined inside with iron sheets, and could not be pierced by bullets. This I know as a positive fact, and I will add as # proof of the fear which bad been entertained by the Princo and his friends, that all along the shores of the Seine, where the coriége was to pass, polisomen Were os duty, ordering the windows to be shut and pot wirg any one to lock from the balconies. Asa watterof course, so many precautions wero taken with the prevision that a plot might have been made to destroy the life of the President. As for the onthusisem, despite the Wiysean papers, | may aay, witho par to be contradicted, that very few shouts were uttored on the passage of the Pageant, and thus the ceremony was more like au afiair of obedicnco than of ecif contenteduess and devotedness. [ think it useless to deseribo the admirable gothic monument; their description may ornaments which bad been placed upon, inside, and around ‘hebe found in the newspapers, and I think, besides, | bave said in my preceding letter, that all thisceremony wasa copy vi that of the coronation of the Emperor. Just after the ceremony, which was only ended at baif past one o'clock, tho Prince President went to the Tuileries, where be had given rendezvous to all the bodies ofthe nation, clergy, army, employes, statesmen, politicians, and diplomats, to receive from them the compliments of New \ear’s day, and congratulations for the vote of the 7,500,000. Asa matter of course, the crowd was as numerous ‘as possible, and every one knows that, on similar occasions, those who are turning their hoads toward the rising sun, are not to miss an opportunity to see the Chief of the Stato and to be seen by him. The Coneultatire Committee, which had, on the previous day, met and called upon Louis Napoleon, had been requested by M. Segur D’Aguessean to desire that the President would, for the future, reside at the Tuileries. This has been left aside for the present, aud by a decree published a few days ago, Louis Napoleon announces publiciy that he will only go to the old palace of the kings of France to receive, offiviaily, his friends, guests, orambassadors. Thisis but a matter of taste, which could be changed to morrow, in case it would be found proper and convenient. We shall see. Among the new decrees, which, no doubt, will much astonish thore who will read them, | will mention that by which the French rooster—em- blem of courage and vigilance—which since the re- volution of 1830, bad been placed on the standards and crosses of the legion of honor, aswellas on the blazon of France, has now been tarned out to be replaced by the Napoleonian eagle. Thia is all very well, but either rooster or eagle it mattors not, for the suke of the country. Another decree, which will also create much as- tonishment on the other side of the water, is that by which Louis Napoleon has decided that the pro- le, moustachious, and goatee of his princeship would take the place of the plump, fat, and Greciaa- like republican female, whose face was previously stamped upon the French money. The sacramental words, “liberty cquality, and fraternity,” which were, since 1518, the motto of tbe republic, will also be rubbed out, not only from the pieces of our money, either gold or silver, but also from all the public monuments and buildings. This, it will be seen, beginning to erase the very idea of republicatisw in France, and no one can te'l if it | will not be accepted witb pleasure by the majority. | Time will prove what ir to be done. If the above mentioned decrees are somewhat | anomalour, there are some others, which, being of public utility, will be considered as good as the Others are worthless. There is the decree relative to the concession ef the railway from Lyons to Avignon, which, within three years, must be achieved and opened to the public.

No doubt my readers have eeon, in novela of the middie ages, that it was the belief of that epoch, that when one wished to do evil te an enemy, he had but to obtain the heurt of a dead body and pierce it ia several places with pins and needles. This process was said never to fail to obtain, by magic, the death cfone’s enemy. A heart pierced in thirty-seven places was fo tee other day, witha name stuck upon it by adogger, and the tout ensemble was brought tothe Geveral Attoruey, woo will iaform on the éubject. ‘The matquerade balls of the Graud Opera were inaugurated, on Saturday last, by avery briliiaat fete, in which about 6,000 persons took part. The assemb!y appeared to enjoy the fan with much avidity. The orchestra was brilliantly led by Mu- eard, who performed, for the first time, the most enticing quadrilies on the motives ef American tunes, including “Yankee Doodle,” and tho negro melodies of Christy and others. The foyer was filled with dominoes, and gentlemen ia full dross. Among the most prominent there, who were on the lock out for fun, was the oclobrated socialist, Bris- bane, who enjoyed the chit-chat of several ‘dol)s” and “free women,” and seemed to bo much pleased with bis conquest. A lady of New York, whose name cannot be given, of course, succeeded in hum- bugging the Fourieriie Don Juan, and to intrigue him in the best style, as one would say, “a la Slievegammon.” ‘Lhose who were acquainted with the joke, bad the besttime ever had for a long time in Paris. Bo it kaown thatthe mask balla will take place every Saturday, until tho end of the carnival. ‘The theatres have been very quiet during the last eight days, and with the exception of a vaudevilie at the Variétés theatre, entitled “ La (uittance de Minuit,” which was successful, and tho drama of Messrs. Barbier and Carré, called ‘ Les Marion- nettes du Decteur,” which was performed at the Odion, everything has been in the shade. Buatlook out for next week; there will be a profusion of novelties. ‘The Comic Opera house has put anew on the stage the ancient opera of * Nina, la Felle par Amour,” whicb has been received with unbounded applause. Lem sure that this reprise will attract crowds to the theatre of M. Perria. The Italian theatre, under the able management. of Mr. Lumley, is coining money, aud the artists who sing under his direction are nightly received with much applause. Mile. Cruvelli is gaining more and more the favor of the public, and every step she makes in the repertory of the Italian com- poters is @ new triumph for her. On Saturda; a ip “Maria di Rohan,” with Mme.

We donot perceive | taken to use his mediation betwoon the mastersand that Lola Montes, who had manifested her inten- tion to supercede him, has succeeded till now to eclipse him. Kossuth’s name fills alone, and with- out rivalry, the American newapapers. The New York HeRaLD makes an immense consummation of it. Hereis, for example. the summary of its | last number:—* Koesuth—Press Banquet—Ro- markable Speech of the Magyar to the Leaders of Tammany Hall—Kosguth at Castle Garden—Great Review of tho Militia—Kossuth’s Oath—Torriblo | Enthusiasm—Korsuth and the Now York Bar—A Judge in collision with Kossuth—Spooches to Depu- tatioosx—Tremendous Enthusiasm for Koasuth— Affecting Scenes—Kossuth’s Loan.” Tho Odyssy of the Magyar is divided into days and subdivided into spoeches. By the last steamer, | M. Kossuth had attained his fifteenth day and his | forty-eeventh discourse. In one of these we remark | the following sentence expressed by the gi | tor:— [ have a principle to which I always was | faithful, namely: never speak more than useful.” Jy is why wo ask of ourselves, with a certain fear, | how many speeches M. Kossuth would have pro- | nounced, if he was a babbler. Wo have, several times, complimented M. Kossuth vpon the traly remarkable facility with which he became an orator in the English language. It appears that that new | tongue made him nearly forget the German; and | he avows, in answering hia follow citizons, that hia head has become a Tower of Babel. 1[t appears to us that his head, for the tongues, as well as for the ideas, is a Babel; for it is not very easy to under- stand the republican, sovialist, aristocratie, ani- form lucubrations contained in his innumorable speeches. It is a certain faci, M. Kossath was not very fortunate, till now, in his prophecies. Oa his arrival in the United States, he positively aa- nounced that if the President of the French repub- lic should attempta coup @’état, he would be seat to Vinceaues. 1c is known that M. Kossuth was not & prophet, although be was not in hiscountry. He said aiso, on anotber day, in his speevh, at the Press banquet:—* The state of France, as atilicting as itis, must, however, be a source of hope for Eu- rope; for it is impossible that this atate can last any longer. A crisis is inevitable. We know that true republicanism is a necessity to france; and whoever nay be the man France shall honor with ber confidence in the coming crisis, it will be neves+ sary for him to practise the great frateraal principle of the nations which the French constitution pro- mired to the world.” The American journal which publishes the account of all these festivals is atso a Babel of its kind—we could say a wedley, for it gravely inserts among tho spoeches of its hero the bill of fare of the dinners offered te him. Thus it informe us that the press banquet was seven dol- lars per bead; that there waa turtle soup, salmon with lobster sauce, codish in normand matelot, eels representing Tyrolean cottages, the fortress of Cormorn in pas‘ry, then the Temple of Liberty, with Washington, La Fayette, and Kossuth in | catiatides; a Curkish Temple, with Abdul-Med- jid’s statue; Koseuth’s house at Kutaya; the monu- ment of Kosciusko, &c, &e. That is the adver. tisement forthe hotel—it was necessary to give one to cach of them. One of the most tremendous ceremonies, if wecan uso that adjective, was the review of the militia. | M. Kossuth, who possesses ag many dresses ag langueges, worea black velvet uniform, and a mag- nificent sword. That sword was necessary to his eroration ; for he raised it over his head and said, * { swear that this American sword shall always be faithful to the cause of liberty, and shat it shall al- ways be the first in the field”” The summary calls that ‘the Kossuth’s oath!” Tho militia then unanimously arose, and applauded the Magyar with iusmense hurrahs. The assembly then adopted rerolutions, in which it was said thatthe Russian intervention was a violation of the rights of nations; that a committee should be nominated to organize subscriptions for the support of Huagarians, &c. Atthe same moment an officer desired te address the audience, when numerous voices shouted, “ put him out!” and when tho noise had disappeared, that officer offered one thousand dollars for sub- scription; uhen the higees were changed inte ap- plause. ‘They try to organize tho loan affairs, by means of shares upon the furure Bank of Hungary. This was also the course pursued in Now Orieana forthe Cuban expedition.
