The " Print* President" of the Frei:A Re,publio has resumed

the military reviews; which have been discontinued since the suc- cessful coup d'etat of the 2d of December.. The main purpose of the first of the new series was to distribute a decoration, the insti- tution of which was announced in the decree of the 22d January, by which the Orleops: property was confiscated.-_ In the sPeeeh ad- dressed to the soldiers on this occasion, M. Bonaparte said— ',When any one perceives; like me, hOW niueli deVOtednesi, abnegation, and patriotism, are to be foinid in the rabbi of the army, a .feeling_of regret arises to "his- mind that the GoVernment has at its disposal, such scanty means-of acknowysting so great trials and rewarding

such marked services."- • - This insinuating appeal to the army was followed in two days by the promulgation of a decree fixing the relations that are to subsist between the head of the Executive and the Legislature.: M. Bonaparte has allotted to his Council of State, Senate, and Le- gislative Body, little more than'the illusory privilege 'of register- ing the edicts prepared by himself and his immediate agents. lie has forestalled their deliberations by promulgating the most im- portant laws and financial arrangements before he has allowed them to assemble; He has taken care that none of their proceed- ings shall receii'e publicity except through a meagre abstract of the business transacted by the Legislative Body, prepared by his

nominee President of the Assembly : yet he subjects the members of the Legislative Bpdy to an internal police more jealous issid stringent than could be /inscribed to a debitnig society of juvenile collegians by zealous eenservative professors afraid that tIseir pupils might imbibe revolutionary notions. All expressions of applause or disapprobation are interdicted r perseveranee m theni, in opposition to the President, will warrant that official to break up a sitting ; the President may interrupt any member on the pretext that he is wandering from the question, and if the offender persist, exclude him from the Assembly for five days, and cause his suspension to be placarded in the district he represents. M. Bonaparte muzzles his legislators as effectively as Cockneys muzzle their canine pets--in the dog-days.
