IT is premature as Set to speculate on the rank that history will assign to NAPOLEON 111, among tLe rulers of France, but we may safely assume that his reign will form an epoch is the architectural chronicles of Paris. The works completed and in progress for the embellishment of that city, and for its sanitary and strategical improvement, are not only on a vast sod magnificent stale, but are snob as had baffled the power and the wilier preceding sovereigns, including NAPOLEON the GREAT himself, with whom the completion of the /Anne and the prolonga tion of the Rue de Rivoli were favourite projects. Bat while these splendid and useful works, so well fitted to associate the name of Louis NAPOLEON with feelings of admiration and seethed-, in the hearts of the Parisians of the next generation, are sweeping away many a reproach to that model of civilisation and pandite of loungers, we fear that there is a growing indisposition among the Parisians of 1836 to discount the debt of grati tude which we have placed to the account of their posterity. Men are beginning to canvass somewhat openly the various motives assignable for under takieg these great works, and to attribute them lees to a oars for the convenience, health, and safety of the citizens, than to a theirs to leave imperishable traces of the newlimpire behind, and to a well devised plan for securiug the power to violently seized, by drowning the impulses of liberty and patriotism in more commonplace but more lucrative interests. In the words of one of the official organs of the Rive lutionary Government of 1848, Paris is the rept. sentative of France ; ate claims the privilege of making or staying revolutions; and when your true Parisian has nothing dee to do, he takes to the former occupation with wonderful skill and facility, as though it were his natural element. By patting in circulation the vast sums required for the public works undertaken by NAPOLEON 111., sot only was employment provided for a great variety of Parisian workmen, and especially foe some of the most dangerous, but it was a lucrative employment, and they were consequently largely interested in supporting the power to which they were indebted to the sudden and immediate im provement in their position and prospects; it paid better to pull down and rebuild houses than to con struct and defend barricades. Tradesmen of all kinds found their account in the increased demand foe goods, while the showy and extravagant style in which the new Court was mounted, and the seals of expenditure encouraged among i s !requesters, created occupation for another chum of animus whom the public works did not affect. And minable the courtiers to maintain their 'plan. deer—as there were no stray thro•se, and principeli. tics, and dukedoms to give sway, as in the olden time, with pleasent revenues attached to them—a general system of Bourse speculation was tolerated, aid even encouraged by the creation of undertakings of every description, the concessions of which brought good round same to the concessonaire's, and invariably commanded handeome premiums. The golden again another shape had come again. Bet unfortunately in these, as in all his financial plans, the Emrcatil had introduced into hie calculations se a re►fmisfy, an element which Gould scarcely be relied on with safety. When he said, " The Empire is peaces," he added mentally, " and plenty." But instead of peace and plenty came war, and famine, and social soffissiag I so the whole plan, though devised with great inge nuity, was thrown out of joint. The system of credit which was to have endowed France with wondrous riche@ has been stretched beyond all reasonable bounds, and now threatens a collapse; while the great public works at Parisorhich were to give wealth and contentment to its whole population, and bind fast their allegiance to their ruler, are talked of as likely to proclaim a very different effect. The attempt to provide a substitute for the law of supply and demand, and to maintain the price of provisions at • low and tolerably equal rate, has failed ; and the cry of Paris grows louder and louder, that the very means of existence are daily becoming more costly, and that the lees wealthy classes find serious difficulty in obtaining even houseroom. The subject naturally mates great anxiety to a Government relying so math on the physical' well being of the loti&111. ; so , on the 23rd September, the Monitsur undertook to prove that es regarded house-room sod house rent, there could be no otos, of difficulty, and that the former must be abundant, the latter moderate. It stated that during the lest five years 1 663 houses only had been pulled d:wo, while thee° newlprrootod or enlarged amounted t 06,332. Moreover, the value of the booms pulled down was only 128,211,659 francs, that of the , new buildings 712,000,000fre., the rental being esti mated at 4600,000 N., or 6 per ecru. Co the eatlay. But we cannot see that the conclusions follow hem the premises ; and first, as to the east of hons►rent. The house" pulled down were of an average value— compensations of all kinds inchided--of 80,648fre.; but the average value of the new ones is 108,869 fra.—a difference of cost which must of course make a cons spooding difference in the rental. And when we remember what mimrshl holes most of the apart ments in the demolished houses were, and look at the elaborate style of ornamentation adopted in most of the new ones, as well as the advantages of light and air which the old houses did not possess, moose easily comprehend that not only is the out of erection proportionally greater, bat that the return for that expeoditure must be obtained from a much smaller number of inmate". For in the houses about . the Palate Royal, and in the old streets in the vicinity , of the Place de Gidve, men were stacked one upon the other like loge in a woodyard. When epidemics were abroad, and Death came there, he reaped among the dense population not with a sickle but with a scythe. The building regulations have altered all this, and not only is air admitted more freely to every side of the new houses, but much of the ground occu pied by the old ones is now devoted to streets aced open spans. The consequence is, that many of the new buildings destined to replace the old ones, are erected at a considerable and constantly increasing distance from the sites occupied by their predecessor,. Now, although it is of little importance to the mag nates of Paris in what quarter they reside, it is a serious matter to the shopkeeper or employe to be compelled to seek a home at a datesa from his place of business. As there is neither a lodging cheap enough for the majority, nor even room for all who have bear ejected, in the vicinity of their old dwell ings, they are compelled to seek accommodation in the nearest qurten; the number of applicants raises the price of reale there, drives out in like manner those unable to outbid the new comers, until at last the pressure reaches the poorer classes, on whom it falls in every way with increased force; and the placards posted nightly in the workmen's quarters, with "Death to the landlords "upon them, indicate pretty clearly the extent to which that pressure is felt. But for these wide streets, and for the embel lishments on every aide, the municipality of Paris has to pay-and that heavily ; and in order to meet those payments, it is obliged to increase the taxation of all kinds from which its revenues are derived, aced thus aggravates the burthen already existing. It is true that the large stuns expended as ware enable the workmen to meet the increased cost of the miasma tic,' of life to a great extent; bat that relief 'steeds only to a certain class, while the pressure is general. From the servant who paid 6L per annum for hie lodging, to the merchant who paid twenty times that sum, the cost of hones-rent aloes has increased three or four fold, and many other expenses have followed in a similar ratio. In vain does the Nonifeer repeat the offer of a contribution from the State to all who will divide their houses into small tenements ; in vain does it wind up with the trans that "when the abundance of the mer chandise is established, the price necessarily falls.' Rents do not fall; landlords are not disposed to take 5 per cent, on their outlay when money, and that which money boys, are rising in value; so the Govern ment is at its wit's cud, and the embellishment and improvement of Paris may terminate after all in a way very different to that which its projector anti cipated. THE WELLINGTON MONUMENT IN ET. PAIIL'B. (Tux ova ROMAN CORZEIPONDENT.) The project for erecting a monument to the me mory of the Dike of Wellington, in Bt. Paul's Cathedral, hu aroused the energies of a great num ber of sculptors established in Rome, and as the government proposals have been printed by order of the British consul, in whose office the plans ars visible, and distributed to the most eminent artists,• fair contribution of models may be expected next June from these headquarters of the fine arts. One of the most eminent architects and archriplo gists established in Rome, the Commeadatore Luigi Canion, president of the Capitoline Museum and Gallery, and author of a most voluminoosanderudite series of illustrated works upon the ancient arehitec tore and topography of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, died suddenly at Florence on the morning of the 17th, when on his way hack to this city, after a visit to London, where he had been received with the honours due to his merit, and whither he had gone by esiecial invitation of the Duke of Northumber land.

THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF THE PRINCIPALITIES. be Nord of yesterday has a Meg article treating of the alleged faithlessness of Austria and England in the non-performance of the engagements accepted by them on signing the treaty of peace. The treaty is declared to be a dead letter as long u a British fleet remains in the Black Bea and Austrian troops in the Principalities. "Russia and France," says Lo Nord, "hare loyally fulfilled their *orpiment& The first upon the field of battle, they have also base the first to submit to the stipulations of the treaty of peace, although for the one, thou stipulations were vexatious, sod although the other lost by them advan tages which her rank amongst the Allies, daring the war, might, had she been lees disiaterested, have secured her. These two powers have, then, an equal right and interest to require that Austria and England conform without delay to the letter and spirit of the treaty of Paris. We believe we may state that representations in this sense have been leads at Vienna both on the part of Ruda and of France. Each of * latter powers has exhibited enEcient moderation' to conatitate a claim to be heard. Russia has spared no means in her power to recall Austria to sue equitable and lean selfish sentiments. We are unable to state whether these friendly representations have exercised any inflame upon the cabinet of Vienna. We have • right expect that the spirit of moderation with which they are characterised, will be re sponded to the more readily from the fact that the power which manifests it has moms right to show itself otherwise disposed." The whole of the article in the Nord is distinguished by extreme bitterness towards Austria.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OVk PAItIIS, 8 Evinn No. The unlooked-for intelligenos from Constantino ple, while placing, as the French journals say it does, the question of the Principalities in an entirely new point of view, adds a tangle the more to the eon plioated state of the political situation in Europe. Bat yesterday France and England seemed to be "drifting into a war" with Austria, and now comes the news that French diplomacy has indeed obtained a victory over Austria, but that it has thwarted Eng land at the same time. M. Thouvenel, the French Ambassador, has obtained from the Porte a disavowal or a retranatlon of the sanction which Austria put forward as her best justification for the prolonged occupation of the Principalities, which occupation wee (unfortunately, as I cannot but think) ex cused by the English cabinet, and in the same breath the Ottoman government is made to protest against the presence of the English fleet in the Black Sea. It will be recollected that France refined to join in the naval demonstration necessitated by the shuffling conduct of Ramis in regard to the Isle of Serpents, and other matters showing the backwardness of that power to carry out the provisions of the treaty of Paris in sincerity. It anent be inferred from the fact noticed by the Ccostitutionnel, though passed over in silence by the Pay. and Petrie, of the expira tion of the six months from the ratification of the treaty of Paris on Oct. 28, that the English squadron intended, as a matter of course, to leave the Black Sea by that day. It were indeed possible that Rag land, yielding to French persassion,had, in order to cat away the Austrian argument put forward in a recent number of the Austrian Correspondence that Austria had just the same right to occupy the Principalities that England had to entice ships in the Black Sea— namely, that the question of the frontiers was not yet regulated and settled—might have consented to withdraw her fleet by Oot. 28. But if this were so, the paragraph in the French papers would be a es rious misrepresentation of the real state of the ease. As it appears at present, Turkey has been induced by France to call upon England and Austria re spectively to do things which they are both equally unwilling to do, and there Is no proof that Eng. land intends to comply with the request on the one part any more than Austria does 'on the other. In this state of things what can be thought of the theory that the ' Anglo-French demonstration against Naples, use ostensibly for no greater object than the liberation of a few political prisosers, is in reality the first step in the execution of a grand resolution to rid Italy of the incubus of Austria? And yet there is considerable evidence that this project, at least as a possible contingency, is within the scope of the de signs of the two great powers. In the first place, it is impossible for any reasonable being to believe that Francis and England can have taken the serious step of breaking off diplomatic relations with Naples, and the still mote serious step of putting their fleets in motion to act in events contemplated es pro bable u a consequence of the rupture, for no graver motives than those assigned by the Mandan% Why se the matter stands upon the face of the diplomatic documents, the most miserable concession on the part of the King—the most deceptive amnesty, giving no guarantee whatever for better government for the future, would suffice to send back our ships covered with ridicule to their ordinary winter quarters. There is, therefore, rea sonable ground to suppose that the original intentions of the allies had a wider scope than diplomatic forms can avow. In furtherance of this view, it has been said that the French Emperor nourishes a deeply seated feeling of resentment against Austria, on account of the part she took in thwarting hie projects of marriage with a German princess, that he has not forgiven her lukowszeiness and tergiversation during the crisis of the Russia' war, and that in this very affair of the Principalities he resents what he considers an attempt to make him a dupe. Although he well knows that any interference with Italy is fishing in troubled waters, he flatters himself that he is able to keep down republicanism there, and that is the only form of government the contagion of which might threaten the maintenance of his own position. If the Austrian provinces in Italy could be made to accept the sovereignty of the King of Sardinia, many people, Italian patriots included, have lately thought that the Emperor Napoleon would gladly accelerate the change. Moreover there are many leaders of the Italian liberals who see in the course of events here shadowed forth the best practical plan for the gradual regeneration of Italy. Now there would be nothing inoonsiatent with all this in the diplomatic triumph said to have been achieved by M. Thouvenel at Constantinople against Austria—but the fact which stares us in the lane that England and Austria appear both to have been rowing in the same boat at Constantinople, and that both are upset together, quite disconcerts the caloulation. Without expressing any decided opinion of my own on the matter, and confessing honestly that I cannot at all see my way through the labyrinth, I think it right to mention that many people see a oonnexion between M. Th l's achievements at Constan tinople and the attack in the Moniteur on the Eog liah press, and are seriously alarmed at the positive assertion in the Etbe►feld Gazette that there will be no new conferences at Paris, and that a speedy rap ture of the entente cordials between France and England may be expected. The Afoninur de riirmee, in a paragraph detailing measures taken by the Emperor's orders for the more speedy distribution of Queen Victoria's Crimean medal to the French soldiers entitled to them, states the curious fact that the fastenings of the medals (not having been yet furnished by the British government) will be distributed at a later pubs/.

The following highly important statement appear is the Pays and Petrie in identical terms. It was, I have reason to know, communicated to those two journals by the government on the receipt of a do. spat& from M. Thouvenel, which is considered to establish the triamph of French diplomacy at Constan tinople after a long straggle with Lord de Radcliffe: "An important communication which reaches us to day gives a totally new aspect to the question of the occupation of the Principalities which has been so warmly dimmed for some time past. Acoordieg to private information, which we have every reason to believe correct, the Porte protests against the Insist.. niece of the Austrian corps of occupation in the Principalities. At the suns time the Ottoman go- vernment demands the recall of the English vessels from the Black Sea. Thies ships, ammediag to the Turkish demand, us to have et the end of this siseth. If We news ahead be seefesed. r um believe it will be, Austria will no longer have the slightest pretext for prolonging the occupation. eines the argument upon which she relied, namely, the cement of Turkey, now fails her, she will, no doubt, readily withdraw her troops at once." The Cootstautionnel contains the following note,' which, though differently worded, evidently emanates from the same souroe as that in government evening Men "The Vienna journals have alleged that the pro longed occupation of the Danubian provinces by the Austrian troops was approved of by the Turkish government. We believe we can affirm, in contra diction to this assertion, that Turkey has protested against the continuance of this occupation, and also against the presence of the English naval force in the Black Ses. Turkey expresses a deers that the English ships should retire by the end of October at farthest, eines, according to the special stipula tions settled in the sittings of April 4, all the terri tories occupied both in the Russian and Turkish empires were to be evacuated within six months from the day of the exchange of the ratificationr." The Meniteur de rAnvele states that the Turkish government has a new silver medal to be distributed to the combatants of Kars. Silistria, and Enpatorie. At the request of M. Monnin Japy, mayor of the 6th arrondissement, the Emperor has ordered that the Grand Opera shall be placed at that functionary's disposal for a ball in favour of the poor. This charita ble fete is to take pleas on the 6th December. A provincial journal of the Oise contains the very improbable statement that Marshal Bosquet is about to marry Mademoiselle Mirth. According to the last accounts of the gallant marshal's health he was suffering too much from his wounds to be thinking of matrimony at all, much leas with a young lady barely 17 years old.

The government is making vigorous attempts to repress brigandage on the road to Naples. Detachments of infantry era now stationed in huts between (.assn, Vel letri, and the Pontine Umbel, and patrols of gendarmerie keep a eb•rp look oat on all the bands of peasantry they fall is with. Numerous arrests have bean made, and a circum stance has weaned which may lead to importaat revita lise:us. This was the recent discovery of the body of a brigand tied to a tree in the forest of La Flo* with two mortal gunshot wounds. It was calculated, from the state of the corpse, that the murder took place immediately atter the unencousful attack made by the brigands on the dili gence from Naples on Sunday fortnight. The locality would correspond with the se ppositios, and the def mut was probably one of the band, who, armed with • thanderbus, was to, have shot the poetillioo, but, recognising an acquaintance Is him, failed in his allotted teak, and consequently fella sacrifice to the vindictive rage of his companions. The corpses of the brigand war recognised and claimed by hie wife, • woman of Velletri, who stated that on the day pre ceding the robbery, be bad gone out, saying that he should be absent for some hours shcotieg, and requested to have something ready for him to eat on Mentors. His wife, who appears to have been ignorant of the peculier nature of the game he was habitually in quest of, not seeing him some back for two days, became uneasy, end applied to the police for search to be made after him.
