rash steps. aarmMa d < aca of tne Philadelphia Evcnlas Bulletin.] OP THE uoounn.. chameeb, * Q APItOfOB OP THE NRW ARMY MM~ nc Army bill, passed by the Deputies a few Java since; and bv this time law, Is the last tri umph of Imperial policy oyer a public opinion massed almost uaanlmouslydn opposition. But it has been the most unsatisfactory andincom yet gained by the Second re, on the subject _is beginning to be " called'' the most dignified,the most prolonged, the most parliamentary, the most historical of all tiio great , discussions admitted into the reports of, the Lower House. Now the length and weight of a discussion depend upon the tensicity andfightlng auaiUy of the opposition; the debates in an Ideally perfect despotism of the parental or patriarchal or Cesarian order would be of the shortest. It is by the indefatigable energy of the Liberal deputies within the narrow limits allowed them in these debates, by the humane amend ments which they -valiantly forced into the bill, Md by their great rally at the Anal vote (a vote of sixty liberals against a hundred and nlnoty nino for the Government) that they have won the sympathies of the people and embittered the triumph Of the ruling party. These latter feel that a very few Blmilar victories would mean de feat 1 The nation, through the mouths of Its ablcand trusty representatives, has insisted on its opinions more perseveringly than ever before since the coup d'etat; and the ministers see with considerable dismay that since that day of lassi tude and passiveness France has been forming idcasjFpr herself and is beginning to assert them- The Empire then has commanded its panoply or war: Napoleon has been justifying the addi tional measures in terms which remind us a little of some importunate Mrs. Potiphor Who has concentrated her soul upon a new bonnet. The neighbors, the Emperor represents, are all dressed better than he. His Minister Of State draws ter rible pictures of France languishing in inaction, a Miss McFlimsey unable to go to church, while Italy, Ndrth Germany and Russia are arrayed in magnificent millions upon her frontier. The Minister. of War, Marshal Niel, takes a tearful retrospective glance, and pictures the day when' the army was compelled to abandon the Italian cause of 1859 at. ViUafranca, because it numbered but a hundred and six or seven thou sand men. The wary statesman forgets to re member that there was an avai&ble force of forty thousand then idle in Tuscany under Prince“Plon- Plon.' 1 Such reminiscences, however, since the vote of last Tuesday, are idle. France is hence forth armed both for defence,and, what is more to the purpose and more imminent, for offence. By means of the Reserve now provided for, the army, in any emergency, can be quickly awclled from 550,000 to 800,000 men. This force can be thrown in its entirety upon any foreign point, the militia, under the form of the modi fied Garde Mobile, sufficing-'to garrison the for tresses and large towns at home. This militia, from’ which there is no escape, will be in opera tion by the coining Spring, and will receive in its ' ranks many a conscript who, within the last four ycare, hits purchased at the price of a substitute what he considered to be future exemption in good faith. . The last ameliorating amendment, to the effect Jhat certain classes should be allowed the privi lege Of substitution in the militia, was introduced byM. Tillancourt and lost (by 197 to 43) on Tuesday- Then .the bill was voted. Since that day; declares La Libert?, there iB a different ex pression observable in the fades one meets In the streets Of Paris. A sense of personal Insecurity, distrust of the future, and general apprehension of peril, certainly agitate many minds. Il ls feared by some that the Emperor, alarmed by his fading tclat, la thinking of playing a last card, and seeking In direct military renown what he has lost by unsuccessful diplomacy. In this new ambition, it is unnecessary to observe, the people have not the least faith in the world. I attended two debates of the series, receiving cards by the courtesy of President Schneider, who OpaiCd me, on the presentation of the Ame rican 'Minister, a pair of the few admissions at bis disposal. The discussions I heard, though not, perhaps, the most brilliant evoked by the’ subject, were of fair average interest, and I have brought away a vivid picture of the ability and dignity with which these difficult popular trusts were upheld by the opposition in the face of government superiority. The Corp's Legislate meets in the old Palais Bourbon, whose classic gable and Corinthian shafts form an adequate pendant to the magulii eent Madeleine,placed exactly in face on the other 6ide of the river. --Standing on the Madeleine steps you descry, closing one of those stately vistas in • which Paris is particularly rich, the solemn portico of the Legislators rising dimly, a quarter ot a mile away,across the axis of the Rue Roy ale,, across the Pldce de la Concorde, with its hoaping fountains and attenuated obelisk, across the Pont de la Concorde and the tawny current of the Seine. Buil%originaUy for a duches3 of the Bouse of Bourbon, it was seized upon, at the first revolution, for the accommodation of the Council of the Five Hundred; but restored in 1814 to the; Prince of Conde, it was first hired out by, and then purchased from, that Prince or bis descendants, for the political uses to which it is so perfectly adapted by its situation and plan. As I crossed the Bridge of La Concorde, itself a monument or reminiscence of the tyranny of power and the patient heroism of the seditious (for it is built of the debris of the Bastile), I was assailed by a severely respectable young man in a long scarf, who offered me, for a reasonable gratification, the privilege of assisting at that day's session: From whloh I inferred that the polite President’s sorely-restricted liberality is occasionally played upon by venal applicants, or else that the servants of (he palacC are capable of * sort of political simony. In front of the Palace, pensively watching the eternal river flow, are four sitting colossi of the 'threat French statesmen of other days, Sully,Col bert,. L’Hhpital and d’Aguesseau. Higher up, •t the eagles of the Btylobate, stand two severe ■ female forms, Themis and Minerva. Under Louis Philippe, in the dissatisfaction that-pre ceded the events of ’4B, the Paris wits used to complain that'the deputies had left wisdom and justice outside the door. It was.one o’clock. The debates commence at two. Entering the vestibule atthe right, I found a- number of red-wsistcoated, footmen already ehgaged in disposing of a throng of visitors, whom they despatched to different parts of the building, according to their rank. The families of the Legislators are accommodated in tribunes " of a certain distinction. "More ordinary specta tore, liko myself and many a better man, are sent up to a Bort of ring, just beneaththeroof, where, cHnging to a red velvet partition, like the ring of a circus, they may regard the turmoil of politics ' far below, and find a music in the doleful song * steaming up to their rather exaggerated supe riority. ' - ' Giving my card to one of the red waistcoats, I climbed an infinity of narrow stairways or ladders disposed Vkd flying buttresses, and was pushed by aftinUi or tenth red waietcoatthrougha small door to the scene of my own proper peep.
