CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW
YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
PAWS, Sett. 7, 1S48.
Last Sunday mornieg a grand review was
announced in the Champ de Mars, and ac•
cordingly at about 11 o'clock 1 mingled sub
the crowd that was streaming in that direc-
tion. All Paris seemed to be beat on
viewing the spectacle, and every class of
people was represcn:ed, from the rich bank-
er in bis coacb, with servants in Lvery and
a emit ultimo on his carriage dour, down to
the simple orcrier, in a clean blouse donned
err the acumen. 'Foura were ladies dressed
;tithe ocwest mode, side by side with co-
quettish grisetter, and dandies, whose gloves
were of the most blameless tint, were re-
lieved by the loner black roues and comfort-
able, oily (aces- of ventable priests. I say
oily, not from any disrespect to the Catholic
clergy, but to Weppt a phenomenon which I
have observed bcfd're, and of which 1 have
found so many examples in Europe as to
justlty tee susp.cron that a is :heeded upon
some natural law not yet understood. The
Calluibc p•.e5110od generally, and the more
zealous members of that denomination, ac -
entre a c, elan unctuous gloss of the skin
which is peculiar to them, and which I have
learned to regard as one of the indications
by which to j Idae whether a person is of
that acct or not. ,This may seem like a
j..ke, but l assure my readers that it is a
serious fact, which, for the rest, they may
confirm or disprove by their own observe-
' none.
'Ile appearance of the Champ de Mare,
with the troops drawn up on order of battle
and with the brilliant tram' work u(the
t crowd of beholders was magmticer,t,tboogh
e, ! not much like anything that one would sec
t I on n Sunday morning, in the Sabbath keep-
ing part ' of Amerce. There was some
eiglay,thousand men under arm=, all in the
highest eunditwn, their arms and accoutre-
meatsguttering in the blase of the sun.—
'l'hc rntantry were drawn up in eight col-
' emus, extending from one extremity of the
' 1 field to another ; at one end were stationed
parts of sonic two or three re,gimcnts of
dragoons and lancers, dctoclmnrtits of which
were c•iaraed with the duty of guarding
ore entrances ; and at the other a body of
cuerar4lcrs pertormed the same office, t:ae,r
armor shining like silver. The National
Guard and Garde Mebile were represented
bye 'elect Lattalions, ,The carp (Aril was
as imposing as a -military display could be
imagined•
Gi;NERA L CAVAIG NAC.
Gen. Ceva'gnsc was defapee' some hour
and a half beyond the time appointed, and
the spectators began to grow tuipatrent.—
At last he appeared, escorted by a company
of uragomie, and it, front, w,th a numeross
stash arid fotluwed by • detachment of light
cavalry and the mounted l(e,,ublican Guard.
:1s he approached the entrance of the Ieli
Gen. Lamonetere, the Minister of War, and
Geo. Cbangaroier the commander of the
National Guard, whu had been supervising
the prvparatwna, rode out to meet him.—
As they met bum 1 was standing eery near
and noticed the reception he gave them : a
was not like an official al ,taboo, but the
Irtemily encounter of old com ides. The
smile with whit h he iciponded to their
greetings bad iu it something exceedingly
kindly and ag-eeable. (laving taken their
places un either Rand, the curlege entered
ibe field and the review commenced.
'1'be coolness witb which Gen. Cavaignae
was received by the mase of spectator@ was
etnki g . They Rased at nim but said no•
thing. As Ire rode thruugh the dense rants
oh each side of the street nut a shout was
rased to welcome hie, sod tt was not till

theta single voice cried, ' Viva la repels -

asked a gentleman just at hand the cause of
such a tote) absence of enthu.asm elm
which one would expect chs- French to wel-
come the foremost nun of the republic.—
" Monsieur," watt lee answer, "it is because
he allowed Louts Blanc and Caussidiers to
escape."
Within the field there was 'linnet an
equal manifestation of indifference. As the
general rode between the long columns you
aright bare heard the hoof -tread of life hoe
se., std when, after that part of the cere-
mony was over, be took his place near the
Pavilion de I:Horologe, and the regiments
one after another defiled baros hien, the
shouts of" Vere la Kepubligne !" "Viva la
General Caraignee !" were tew and (sent to

I)ERA'I'ES IN Tl1E ASSEMBLY.
My last letter was written and mailed
before the close of the discussion io the As-
sembly: (on Fridge- last,) upon the bill to
rescind the decree of the Provisional Gov-
ernment abolishing imprisonment for debt.
After the conclusive speeches which Mes-
srs. Wolowski and Grery had delivered
against the bill I did not hesitate to foretell
its defeat. I' was wrong and dot the As-
sembly more than justice. Alter a discus-
sion to which the barbarity, inhumanity and
mitotic/ea the old law were made as palpa-
ble as reason could make them, four hundred
and tilt, -eight representatives, lncludins
the members of the Government, were Mime
to vote for its re. -establishment, against two
hundred aryl thirty-seven who opposed it.
It is to he boped that to this mama for re-
versing the acts of the Provisional Govetn-
ment the deme° abolishing the punishment
of death for political offences may not be
meddle(' with.
THE STATE OF SIEGE.
On Saturday came tip for discussion the
bill to raise the state of siege to Pads, be-
fore entering urn the discussion of the
cnos►ttu(ion, which was to commence en
Monday. The debate opened by a renon-
cration of the bit on lbs part of its author,
who had changed his mind. M. Cremienx,
the chairman of the committee to whom it
bad been referred, argued briefly against it,
endcavorisg to make out that inasmuch as
it wee the Assembly which established the
state of • ege, and as the power to abolish
coarld be exercised at -any time, there was
no reason for taking any acyn ie Ike mat-
ter. They could go on and discuss the
constitution just ad freely with martial law
existing in the sty as without it. Ledru
Rollin followed, and an usual carried off the
honors of the debate, though. as is afro
usual, he did not carry a majority of lite
votes. Ile presented the 910 1100 from an
elevated point of view, and defended tar in-
terests of I:be•Iv w;th clog genre and vigor.
He maintained the necessity of setting the
Kees free from its present shackles bc:in-e
so important a debate was begin. .If they
were to pans the constitution without rais-
ing the were it would be a ata n npntt it
that could never be effaced. To vote such
as instrument under martial law was a
thing never heard of. M. Favreau next
repeated in • diluted form the arguments
that had just been so forcibly presented by
Ledru Rollindand then came the meet in-
teresting it not the ablest 'speech that has
been made in the chamber for many a day.
The orator was Gea.Cavaignae, and be was
listened to with the pro(ouades' silence.
AN IMMENSE BED OF GOLD, one
hundred miles in extent, has been discover-
ed in California, on American Fork and
Father mere, trubutarieaof the Sacramen-
to, near Monterey. Mr. Colton, the Al-
velde of Monterey, states that the gold it
found lo the sand•, in grains resembling
sgnirrel shot, flattened nut. 8onee grains
wcigb an ounce each. It is cot by wash-
ing oat the band in any verset, I:om a tea
tauccr to a warming pan. A single person
can gather an ounce or two a day, and some
even a hundred dollars worth. Two thous-
and whites and as many Indians are on the
ground. All the Americans' settlements
are deserted, and farming nearly sarpended.
Tim women only remain in the ertticments.
Sailors and raplains desert the stilts to go
to the gold region, and laborere refuse tea
dollars • day to work on the farms.
Mr. Colton says :—"One man, who re-
sides next door tome, gathered five hundred
dollars worth in sIx dace. Ile has one lump
which weighs over an ounce. A trough
each as yon feed the pigs in, will bring m
the gold region,' fifty collars. Put a piece
of sheet iron, punched with hole!, en rt, and

Cececs Sera Bene rglt Scoreann.—We
have felt reluctant to canvass this measure
during Its discussion in Parliament. That
the exercise of etre right of property should
be, in some way or other, restrained to the
extent of hindering a landlord from cacell-
mg the law of toleration and the light
til free nil gifted worship in a populous bi-
ked, or an extensive district of country,
was plain enough to a mend fraying any
Sento of justice. But we chould not rid our-
selves of a doubt, that souls of the promot-
ers of this bill were prompted by no sense
of even-handed justice in the matter, but
by a feeling of partisanship for their own
denomination, whose importance would have
been magnified at the expense of others by
the conccuron of the1r claim. Our doubts
have not been re■oved by the closing seen*
in the history of this bill. An attempt was
made In committee to hoot as provisions
and privileges to the Free church of Scot-
land : bot the attempt was lost, and it time
to the tb:rd rsadeng with a liberal and com-
prehensive 'spent. Oe Ma ground, bow -
ever, It forfeited favour with some of Its pre -
mals supporters, and on the third reading
was thrown out. The Lord Advocate, a lead-
ing supporter of Use Free Church, " intended
to you agatwt the third reading of this bill,
because it was •gsesrsl and art as 'zap -
halal mesre. To say that justice might
be done by leaving parties to prosecute timer
remedy by private acts of Parliament, was a
',ere mockery of Mattes ; but when, in-
stead of amain a applicable to one deeo-
mmuaton, the ween mss exteded to all,
he mast abject to it." .1d Ge.r set t alil,
