The most striking political event of the week is the grand ceremony of the distribution of the Eagles, which took place on Monday last, the 10th instant, and was favored by beautiful weather. So much had already been said about this grand military dis- play—so many rumors had been sproad anticipating, on that occasion, the decisive proclamation of Louis Napoleon as Emperor of France—that the public at- tention was quite roused, and ready for any political pronunciamento. The desire to be present and to witness this affair was so great among all classes, that those who had not tickets to be admitted inside of the tribunes cither spent the night on the ground or arrived at the Champ de Mars at an early hour. At five o’clock in the morning, the whole of the amphitheatre of that immonse ground was covered with people. Twenty tribunes, in which about 15,000 persons could be admitted, had been erected along the ditches; and in front of the military school five large stands, surmounted with a canopy, wero arranged, to accommodate tho three grand bodies of the State, tho diplomatic corps, and the distinguished persons invited to the ceremony. Several stands had also heen erected (by special permission) by private speculation, and seats were secured on these stands for the sum of twenty, forty, fifty, and even eighty francs. The tribune where the President was to be seated was decorated with the greatest taste andrefinoment. Besides two immense draperies of crimson velvet, trimmed with gold, and adorned with the L. N. of the government, a splendid baldagn, upon which were embroidere the number, 7,500,000, to show what number of votes Louis Napoleon had received from the nation, was hanging over the head of our Chief of State. A staircase, composed of three floors and of ninety- three steps, wus erected in front of that tribune, and gave access from the ground of the Champ de Mars to the place where Louis Napoleon was seated with his ministers and siafl. Bohind the President were placed twenty-two i/s, upon which had been tied the flags, surmounted with eagles, which were to be distributed to the army. At the foot of the stair case two mammoth lions, by Magne, the cele- brated sculptor, gilt as if they had come from Cali- ifornia, represented foree and magnitude. In the centr the Champ de Mars a sort of tem- ple, udorned with vanopics, supported by lances, and made of crimson velvet, studded with stars and adorned with embroideries, hind also been erected. ‘Tho ultar, placed under the dome, was to be reach- ed by a stair case of soventy-tive steps, and at the four corners of that provisions! building of wood and paste-bonrd, were standing four statues, represent- ing religion, justice, forec, and charity. On cach side of this temple, the words “vox populi vox dei? had been painted on the walls. Thore the Roman Catholic clergy wore to celebrate the holy mays, and. to biess the flags. The whole of the regimonts of Paris and ita neighborhood, the dopuistions of all the regiments of KFranes, Africa, and the colo- nies, 25 wellasall the dote gations of the foreign pow- ers, and the officers of all the countries of Hurope, reached the Champ de M. ‘h had been care- fully prepared for the mi and half-past ten o'clock, r stand—the cavalry on the left or the sido cf the Invalids, the ii on the right, near the suburb of Grenolle.

General St. Arnaud, Marshals Excelman, » Vaillant and Reille. serals d’Hautpoul, Schramm, Canrober:, Raudon, Rial, Rogact, Vax- dyey, and de Bar. Louis Napoleon was dressed as a general officer—white doe skin trowsers, large iili- tary boots, and the cordon of the legion of honor around his body. The horse mounted by the Presi dont, a dark bay animal, for which he paid seven thousand franes, was a beautiful animal, of English breed, and was covered with a saddle and housse of the richest description. After having passed in front of every regiment, whilst the drums were beating to arms, and the trumpets sounding the charge, Louis Napoleon alighted from his horse at the foot of the grand stair caso of his tribune, which he nded in a very bold and daring style, and seated himself in his arm chair, behind which all his escort took their seats. On the left were arranged the Senators in full uniform, and on the right the legislati corps, who, for the want of then, had come th: a black suits, Tho whole Council of State, with the exception of three of its members, wore their uni- form, embroidered with silver, Then the ceremony of the distribution of the eagles began. The colonels of the regimonis ascended the steps of the Presidential tribune, and received, a one in his tum, from the hands of Louis Napoleon, the standard of his regiment, surmounted by a gold eagle.

Immediately after t! rch, the standard bearer, proceeded from the presidential tribune to the altar, on the steps of which they took up a position, whilst, at the same time, a musical mass, expressly composed by M.

Inthe mean- time the President rode off the Champ de Mars, followed by his staff, and passing in the centre of | the ground, whilst the drums were beating and the trumpets sounding. The elergy, who had remained on the steps of the altar during the déyilé, left the Chainp de Mars in procession, retiring to the clureh of St. Pierre du Gios Caillou, and singing the 143d Psalm. The standards were then placed in one of the rooms of the Ecole Militaire, from which they will | be forwarded to their respective regiments. The crowd, at the end of the /éie, rushed off the field, and every footstep was directed towards home. Asit may be seen by the aboye report, this mili- tary féte was below the anticipations whieh had been made, in advance, of » great political event. With the exception of the pageant of the scenery, and the presence of the clergy to bless the standards, every thi took e as at an ordinary rey N ritiatanding the weather, which was splendid, and despite the magnitude of sou- yenirs, which had been rendered for the occasion, the eneral aspect of the fete was dull and cold.

Among the crowd and ilaee there was but one feeling—that of curiosity—and no shouts whatever in favor of Louis Napoleon were uttered by the peo- ple. The only marks of satisfaction were awarded to the troops, whose brilliant uniform and fine ap- | poarance excited general satisfaction and roused the national pride.

B GOSSIP OF PARIS. ‘ Pants, May 20, 1852. The Pleasures—Grand Pyrotechwical Display—The Hot Weather and the Fashions—The Bridge of Angers—The Chantilly Races—Wickoff and the British Consul—Sale of Marshal Sowlt’s Paint- tngs—The Operas and : heatres. Paris has been attacked with a violont fever du- ring the last week, and we have made eight millions offrancs by it! This is a new modo of getting something by having a disease. This fever was not of the bad kind, for it was a fever of pleasure, and though it was contagious, it had the best effect up- on those who were affected by it. The fire works, which had been announced to be ene of the most magnificent things of tho kind, had attracted, on Thursday evening last, at the Champ de Mars and its neighborhood, all the amateurs of the pyrotechnical art, pickpockets and thieves, who are still more amateurs of the crowd than of fire- ; works, and the assembly was as large as it ought to have been. The windows of each house were filled with ladies and gentlemen, the roof of every build- ing hidden by living people, in short the expectation was oxtreme, and everybody anticipated that the pleasure would answer the expectation. A few minutes before nine o’clock, a signal was given from the window of the military school, and a discharge of cannon shots announced that tho end of the féte was to begin. A salute of rockets took place, which was by no means a. brilliant affair, notwithstand- ing the fire and the light they produced in the dark horison. After five or ten minutes duration, the be- holder had to admire, or to blame, the dwarflike presentation of the arch of triumph of L’Etoile, on | the Her of which an eagle, with open wings, had been placed by the Edge of Paris, Mr. Ruggieri. So fur, so bad; the spectators were not provented from criticising this stupid affair; but many of them thought that this was but the preliminaries of the fireworks, the next display of which would recom- pense them for their former dissatisfaction. In the incantime the air seemed to be all on fire, and a huge bouquet, formed of five thousand rockets of all colors, and Roman candles of all sizes, which lasted about three minutes, went up to the zenith, and all was over. The city was still in darkness, and the shoutof humbug resounded all over Paris. Some of the spectators thought that this was not yet ended, for, as soon as the Trocadero had blown out its fire, a large glare was remarked on the horizon, in the direction of the Fabourg St. Antoine. | Many in the crowd thought that the ordonnateurs of the /éte had spared a surprise to the Parisians, au the foreign guests of the city; but this was not the Tnstend of being the glave was the signal of a large fire aged in the rue Faubourg St. and two hours afterwards, twenty-three fainilics were thrown upon the pavement penniless, deprived of shelter and ely ruined. This was a reverse to the r joicing which had bo by moze than six or seven hundred thousand poople. ‘Lhe ci i s has now resumed which theless, a sort of f those no! stomed to it.

Tho Emperor of Russia has bought a large number of paintings for his private collection. Mr. Bryant, the American amateur, has also en- riched his gallery, by ono of the finost Velasquez. The theatres are doing excellent business, and not withstanding the heat and electric storms, thoy aro night! filled with the thickest crowd of play goers. At the Grand Opera, the ** JuifErrant”’ is nightly received with the utmost use, and Mmes. Te- lesco, Lagura, as well as Messrs. Rogers, Massol, Obin, and others, applauded with much enthusiasm. Tho bailet scone of the bees is the most delightful ballet ever beheld on any stage. At the Theatre Frangaise, Mdlle. Rachel has renewed the drama of **Louiso de Lignerolles,” which was considered a failure. It appears that Malle. Rachel, who had been invited by tho Empe- ror of Austria to go to Vienna to play before the Czar Nicholas, was refused to be allowed to leave the country, on the ground that sho had not yet finished her ongagement, whilst the only cause was the refusal she had made to recite the Napoleonian rhymes ef Mr. Mery, at the theatrical entertainment given last week at the Tuileries. Thus Nicholas will not have the pleasure of seeing and hearing Malle. Rachel. At the Varietés Theatre threo new plays havo been received with much applause. The first is called “Une Vengeance,” one act; the second, “Canodar Pere et Fils,” one act; and the third, “Un Menage d’Hier,” a farce, in one act also, in which Arnal, the excellent comic actor, takes 2 capi- tal part, and displays much histrionic power. Malle. Rosa Espert, the charming Spanish danseuse, and the other artists who accompany her, have resumed their dances at the Variétes, and wore much ap- plauded. At the Hyppodrome and the National Ardnes, the daily entertainments are all the go. Mr. Arnault, the manager of both places, desorves much cred t for his numerous exertions. The balloons are sent offin the deep blue, every Thursday and Sunday, and this year they are directed by Mr. Coste, an aeronaut who possesses the highest deringlained to the best prudence.

I have not yet seen Lima, but those who have been out are delighted with it. It is much warmer here than I anticipated; but they tell me that next month is the commencement of winter, and that it will be too cold. We are at present stopping in a hotel. The accommodations are very good, but so expensive that it is impossible to stop here-~six del- 1 day, without washing, &e. We have founda house, and will go to housekeeping directly. I will endeavor to give you a slight sketch of my journey. The steamer Crescent City is the most uncomfortable, dirty boat I ever saw. We were nearly starved to death for the first five or six days, untilwo arrivedin Kingston, where we bought fruit, &e., which lasted the rest of the voyage.
