How often do we find the human face divine disfigured by neglecting the chiefeat of its ornaments, and the breath made disa greeable to companions by non-attention to the Teeth! Though perfect in their structure and composition, to keep them in a pure and healthy state requires some little trouble; and if those who are blessed with well formed teeth knew how soon decay steals into the mouth making unsightly what otherwise are delightful to ad mire, and designating unhealthiness by the impurity of the breath, they would spare no expense to chase away these fatal blemishes. But although most ladies are careful, and even particular in these delicate matters, 37 '''t few are sufficiently aware of the imperative necessity ° 2 f _r r ctoling all noxious or mineral substances of an acrid nature, and of which the greater part of the cheap tooth powders of the present day are composed.

The following is the report of the commission charged to examine the proposition relative to a modification of the Constitution, conformably to articles 31 and 32 : " Messieurs les Senateurs,—France, attentive and excited, now demands from you a great political act. You are called upon to put an end to her anxieties and to secure her future. " Bat this act, however important, does not meet with any of those great difficulties which obstruct the wis dom of legislators. You know the wishes expressed by the Councils-General, the Councils of Arron dissement, and the addresses of the communes of Latwhn r ohad a uitcibsh c e mh , Namy tFn—wishesshaeepn struckosNapoleon, oipsn de, the mat e r i no world s oo t fr a oflo b fdir i l t abs i t yr y ewltt p Y e o o ci ple h , av fo e llo ls w ea in rd g siastic cries, which may almost call a plebiscite by in the footsteps of its liberator, an d th ose enthu ahhu oernels majestye. t t o h e npoliticalo f Government i ts pof form power anticipation, proceeding from the hearts of thousands of agriculturists and workmen, manufacturers and trades men. Such manifestations make the task of statesmen an easy one. There are circumstances in which fatal necessities prevent the firmest legislator from acting in harmony with public opinion and with his own reason; other circumstances there are amidst which he wants much reflection in order to solve questions on which the country has not sufficiently decided. You, gentle. men, are not exposed either to this constraint or to this embarrassment. The national will urges you on and supplicates you, and your vast experience tells you that in yielding to her entreaties you will assist in re placing France in the paths which are suitable to her interests, to her grandeur, and to the imperious neces sities of her situation. All this is, in fact, explained by the events which are being enacted before you. " After periods of great political agitation, it always happens that nations throw themselves joyfully into the arms of the strong man whom Providence sends to them. It war the fatigue of civil wars which made a monarch of the conqueror of Actium; it was the horror of revo lutionary excesses as much as the glory of Marengo which raised the imperial throne. In the midst of the recent dangers of the country, this strong man stood forth on the 10th of December, 1848, and on the 2d of December, 1851, and France confided to him her stand ard, which was then declining. If, on this memorable journey, which was nothing but a series of triumphs, she has declared her will to confide it to him for ever, it is because by his courage and by his prudence the man has shown himself equal to the task; it is because, when a nation feels itself tormented by the agitations of a stormy Government, a necessary reaction leads it towards him who can best secure order, stability, and repose. " Louis Napoleon, therefore, is in this wonderful situ ation,—that he alone holds in his bands these inestima ble gifts. He has, in the eyes of France, his immense services, the magic of his popularity, the reminiscences of his race, the imperishable remembrance of order, of organization, and of heroism, which give a louder pul sation to the hearts of all Frenchmen. He revives in the eyes of Europe the greatest name of modern days, not only for the military triumphs with which his bistory is so rich, but for chaining down the political and social tempests, for endowing France with the conquests of peace, and for strengthening and fertilizing the good relations of States. Both at home and abroad it is to him that is attached a vast future of pacific labour and of civilization. That future must not be at the mercy of the chance of events and to the surprise of factions. " Hence France demands the monarchy of the Empe ror; that is to say, order in revolution, and rule in de mocracy. She wished it on the 10th of December, when the artifices of an inimical constitution prevented the people from expressing their opinion ; she desired it again on December the 20th, when the moderation of a noble character stifled the demand. But now the public sentiment overflows like a torrent ; there are moments when enthusiasm, too, has the right of solving political questions. For some time past visible signs announced what must be the mission of Louis Napoleon, and the provident reason of statesmen put itself in accordance with the popular instinct in order to fix its charac ter. After the bitter sarcasm which put the heir to a crown at the head of the Republic, it was evident that France, still democratic by habit, never ceased to be monarchical is her instincts, and that the wished for the re-establishment of the monarchy in the person of the Prince who revealed himself to her as the conciliator of two ages and of two minds, the line of union of the Go vernment and of the people, the monarchical symbol of organiz -d democracy. "At the end of the last century the preponderance of the democratic element gave rise to a belief in speculative or ardent minds that France ought to mark the new era into which she had entered by a divorce between her Government and the monarchical form. The Republic was borrowed from the recollections of antiquity. But in France political limitations seldom succeed. Our country, although taxed with frivolity, is invincibly attached to certain national ideas and to certain traditional habits, by which it preserves the originality on which it prides itself. The Republic could not acclimatize itself on the French soil. It perished by its own excesses, and it only went into those excesses because the instincts of the nation were averse to the new form of government, The Republic was but an interregnum, brilliant abroad and terrible at home, between two monarchies. " At that period glory raised to power one of those men who found dynasties and who traverse ages. Flourishing on that new stern France beheld a monarchy suitable to modern times, and yielding to no other in its grandeur and in its power. Was it not a great lesson to see a similar fortune reserved 50 years after for a second trial of the Republican form ? Is it not a striking example of the perseverance of the French mind in things which are like the substance of her political life ? Is not the proof complete and decisive ? " It will be the more so as the Imperial Monarchy has all the advantages of the Republic without its dangers. The other monarchical regimes (the illustrious services of which we will not depreciate,) have been accused of having placed the throne too far from the people, and the Re public, boasting of its popular origin, skilfully en trenched itself against them in the masses, who thought they were forgotten and overlooked. But the Empire, stronger than the Republic, on democratic grounds. removes that objection. It was the Government which the people most energetically supported, and moat deeply regretted. The people have again round it in their memory to oppose it to the dreams of idealogista and to . the attempts of perturbators. On the one hand, it is the only one which can boast of the right recognized by the old monarchy.--` That it is to the French nation that it belongs to choose its Sing;' on the other, it is the only one which has not had quarrels to settle with the people. When it disappeared in 1814, it was not by a struggle of the nation against the Go vernment. The chances of an unequal foreign war effected that violent divorce. But the people have never ceased to see in the Empire their emanation and their work ; and they placed it in their affections far above the Republic—an anonymous and tumultuous Govern• went, which they remember much more by the violence of its proconsuls than by the victories which were the price of French valour. That is why the Nepoleonian monarchy absorbed the Republic once, and why it must absorb it a second time- The Republic is virtually in the Empire, by the contract like character of the institution, and by the communica tion and express delegation of power by the people. But the Empire is superior to the Republic, because it is also the monarchy. that is to say, the government of all con fided to the moderating action of one, with hereditary succession as a condition, and stability as its con. sequences. Monarchy has the excellent quality of Bfl n owfui.atnpht fatigued siunteei ncdpsaoel w ishes; wwaaienbt i rhd- t , yielding admirably to the progress of civilization; by turns feudal, absolutist, and mixed, always old, and always modern, it has only to reopen the era of its democratic transformation which was inaugerated b s y w t psc h yihta e cnot E ni ssimi ideas, p eao e ans srscaokoriwne. incredulous whose T toesuedf h t ue a gydi t eoonu i uti s shu w hat wasblyiatit htau h F ur aei France anpnnecooo countryeft ab stractions, unless that power is revealed in the form of a hero or a prince. " Even if the love of Frenchmen for monarchy be only a prejudice, it must be respected ; a people can only be governed in accordance with its ideas. But it must in particular be respected, because it is inspired by the most essential necessities, and the most legitimate inte rests of the country. " France is a great State, desirous of presenting at home and abroad the force which a vast territory and 35,000.000 of inhabitants give. She is both agri cultural and commercial. Notwithstanding the fer tility of her soil, she would be poor if manufactures were not to add immense personal to real capital, and if the taste for polite enjoyments and moderate luxury did not give to labour an aliment, and one which is always new. But labour, in order to arrive at the result of its ventures, must needs be supported by so many advances qu e ti for and t h e se subversive alone and such a persevering continuance of efforts, end prosperous that all sl,success would escape it if it were interrupted or po • litroubledpolicy.

If ever France can be said to have had a leaning to a republican government it was in the middle ages, when the re p ublican spirit, extinguished from the time of the Caesars, had again awoke in a part of Europe ; when France was checkered with all but independent provinces, and when the feudal principalities were in all parts menaced by the com munal movement. But since that moment all the interior action of France has removed her from the republican form. She, in particular, has separated from it when she gave herself a united territory and thirty-five millions of inhabitants, living under the same laws, in the same country, and united by an infinite chain of dependent interests, which the same movement of circu lation causes to terminate in a sole centre. Such a people is not to be shaken, as were the citizens of a single city, even if called Athens or Rome. A country which lives by its labour , and not by the labo ur o f slaves and pre sents from the S tate, cannot ,be occupied with speeches of the forum , w i t h the p ermanent ag i tation of oomitia, 1 , with the terbulent cares of shifting politics. This fever, to which democratic republics give the name of political life, cannot with impunity be communicated to a nation whose splendour particularly consists in the pacific de velopment of its wealth, and in the regular an intelligent activity of its private interests. "Our fathers learned these truths in the rude school of public and private misfortune. They compose all the interior policy of the commencement of this century.* Why should incorrigible innovators have in these latter times inflicted the too palpable demonstration of them upon us? We have seen altars raised to instabiliiy and to periodical convulsions, the two plagues of the social body; we have seen laws made to reduce to solemn pre cepts the febrile and terrible crisis which may ruin a people; we have seen the vessel of the State launched on an unknown sea, without a fixed point to guide itself by, without an anchor to cast out; and no one can say what would have become of the future of France if Pro vidence, watching over her, had not raised up the man of the intrepid heart, who extended his hand to her. "France, with full knowledge of what she is doing, intends to return to her natural state. She longs again to find her real position and her equilibrium. The French nation, in its admirable common sense, is not so Infatuated with its superior qualities as to bo blinded to its weak points. It knows itself variable in its impres sions, prompt to be worked on, and easy to be led astray; and, because it distrusts the rapidity of a first movement, it seek , ' a fixed point in its institutions, and desires to be retained on a stable and solid basis. The French de mocracy has sometimes been compared to that of Athens. We have no objection to the comparison, as far as po liteness and elegance of mind are concerned, but we, in all other respects, utterly disclaim the similitude. The Greek democracies were nothing but a perpetual flux and reflux, never accepting the corrective of their levity. They were, besides, idle and grasping, living on the civic oboli and distributions of food. On the other hand, the French democracy, of a more mas culine and more haughty character, does not look to the State for the care of its wellbeing; it depends on its own efforts for support, and most joyfully submits to the eternal law of God—doily labour. Its speculations em braced the whole world; it cultivates the earth with its free hands; it furrows the mighty deep with its vessels; it multiplies its industrial creations, engenders capital, and makes the future tributary to its able and immense combinations. When a nation thus founds it enterprises on credit and durability, when sometimes not less than h century is is necessary to it to reap the benefit of its aif a operations, c is not the i ns titutions of a day that can give it any hope of their success. Such a nation would be mad, if it did not desire to make the moving sphere of its interests turn round the motionless axis of a monarchy. tt It is true that in France equality is an object of ab solute worthip, anda monarchy has, as its very first condition, the privil ege d existence of those grand and rare individualiti e s w hich God raises above their fellows to form dynas t i es , and which are less human beings than the personificati on o f a people and the concentrated ra diation of g a ra civilization.nd e a r ad ren But i q La l a it t ye n , such asState o wereasons con ceive it in F rance , a d m it s w i t h ou t jealousy those pro videntialeredl e. teg —below which it finds its level. At Rome and Athens equality consisted in rendering each citizen ad missible to the supreme authority ; and it is, therefore, that men considered all equality at an end when Augustus had converted the Republic into a Monarchy. In France we considered it as saved and confirmed for ever under the reign of the Emperor. The reason is that its this country off quality there is nothing that is less supported than the govern ment of one's equals, because equality is there fully satisfied in holding everything iu its grasp—places, credit, wealth, and renown—and in having a wide and open road before it, which leads to everything ex• cept that extreme point of power, that inaccessible summit, which care for the public tranquillity has placed high above all private aspiration 4. By these means the democracy wonderfully agrees with the monarchy, and that union is the more solid since common sense unites with the habits of she people in ceneentiog it. " But, should cavilling minds, believing themselves more wise than the whole country, bring forward, as au Objection to the desire expressed for the hereditary em pire, the inconveniences which minorities and bad princes may, at certain intervals, produce in mon erchicel States, we would reply that all human institutions contain within themes vet certain de fects and we,knesses. The monarchy has not the privilege of perfection • it has simply for Fra nce, the merit of an incontestable superiority over the system of perpetual election, which only offers an eternal series of struggles and hazards, and which solves one difficulty only for the purpose of immediately leaving another pending. ~ Some ancient States, believing that they were im proving gon ve the monarchical , placed in overeign and immoable assemblies system that element of :s stability which dynasties represent. But have not such assem blies also bad their moments of weakness? Does not their history exhibit melancholy instances of venality or tyranny? Has not their baseness given them insolent and seditious guardians? And in the point of view of moral responsibility, which is ono of the great checks on the conscience, there is not the slig htest comparison be tween a man and an assembly. Ia assemblies, the re sponsibility of the body efface' that of the individual; and, as a collective responsibility is very near y illus o ory, it comes to pass that that irresponsibility, which sme times constitutes the force and independence of assem blies, is also the cause of their excesses. In a Prince, on the contrary, the responsibility is undivided and in evitable, and presses with all its weight on the side of duty. In fine, when evil cret-pt into a sovereign political body, it continues there as a precedent, increases as a tradition, and the thing itself can only be kept up by keeping up the evil. On the contrary, if evil glides to the throne, it causes alarm only by temporary and in termittent perils, which are, bstidts, extenuated by the institutions and modifications which are more easily ef fected in the case of a man than in that of an assembly. The feeble Louis XIII. was followed by the grand Louis XIV.; and, besides, Louis XIII, is, in the c_tes of pos terity, covered by his Minister, Richelieu. " These general considerations appear to us to prove suffiaientiy that the national sentiment which addresses itseli to you, gentlemen, as to sage mediators between the people and the Prince, is neither a frivolous caprice nor a fleeting infatuation. Behind the fascination of a groat name, and above the gratitude which is felt for the acts of a noble and patriotic courage, there are grand thoughts, powerful interests, and an admirable intuitive perception of the public necessities. France, gentlemen, desires to have the life of a great nation, and not that precarious and sickly existence which consumes the social body- During the last four years, while subjected to perilous experiments, she has known how to correct by her good sense the evils of a deplorable situation. But it is necessary that such a situation should be brought to a close. Up to the present time she has, in the midst of the tempests which assailed her, found only transitory gleams of safety, on which no future pros perity could possibly be based. At present she is about o enter the port, and to found, by means of the fortu nate pilot whom she greets with joy, the edifice of her prosperity on the solid ground of a monarchy. e L e t ue now look to the details of the draught of the Senates-Consultum. " Louis Napoleon will take the name of ' Napoleon 1 III„ It is that name which re-echoed in the acclama tions of the people ; it is the name which was inserib el on the triumphal arches and trophies. We do not specially select it; we merely accept it from a natural and spontaneous election. It, has, besides, that profound good sente which is always to be met with in the won derful instincts of the people. It is a homage to Na poleon 1., whom the people never forget; and it is a pious remembrance of his youthful son, woo was constitu tionally proclaimed Emperor of the French, and whose reign, though short, has not been effaced by the obscure existence of the exile. It eaves tor the future the question of succession, and signifies that the E epire will be hereditary after Louis Nam e ", as it has been for himself. In fine, it connects the political phase to which ea owe our satety with the glorious name which was also the safety of past times. " Andyet, by the side of the ttaditional element, con temporary events preserve their proper value and their peculiar s ignification. If Louis Napoleon is called on at present to resume tha work of his uncle, it is not merely because he is the heir of the E mperor, but because he deserves to be so ; it is on accou 4 o f his devotion to France, and of that spontaneous tad personal action which has rescued the country from the horrors of anarchy. It is not sufficient for hint to be the heir of the Emperor ; he must be again elected, for the third time by the people. Thus the succession and the elec tion will combine to double his fore t , the modern fact rendering the old one young and vigolous by the power of a reiterated consent and a second contract. " The Senates Consultum next invest % Lo • Napoleon with the right to adop t fault Louis a heir in de of a direct suc cessor. Adoption, which is a enn illion right in private families, cannot be a n exception in dynastic families ; for, when no natural heir exists, i t it a principle in public law that the choice of the monarch belongs to the people. But that rule is that of ordinary t• times, and can not suit in an absolute manner an order ot things which w again resumes a new cour se after a lon g in.. - rruptton, and in the midst of the most extraordinary nirotmstances. " Louis Napoleon, the depositary of the Confidence of the people, charged by it to draw up a co nstitution, can On infinitely stronger grounds receive the mandate to provide for certain eventualities, and to pretent certain crisis in which that constitution might pedau. _ t The strokes of nature have been of ten terrible it reigning families, and have set at noug ht the counsels O f the wise. The French people will not imagine that it !takes too great a sacrifice of its rights, in abandoning ihelf once more to the prudence of the Prince whom it h as made the arbiter of its destinies. This provision, besides, is borrowed from the Imperial Constitution. The Empire which revives ought not to be less powerful in ate moans than was the Empire at its commencement; and ik order to remain within the letter and the spirit of that prece dent, the Senates Consultum proposes to you not lo ad mit of such adoption, except for the male descene ante, natural and legitimate, of the brothers of Napoleon I. Tho right of unlimited adoption would be in manifest contradiction with the popular wish for the re-establish_ meat of the Empire, which is the guiding-star of our deliberations. In fact, the Empire is inseparable fr o m the name of Bonaparte, and cannot be conceived without a member of that family with which the new form o f the monarchy was stipulated in France. Everything ought to remain consistent in the work which we ate considering. " But above that combination, solely of a political cha racter, France places a hope which na more me than thatat anythinno g co nstitutes her faith in the fu t u re, y, l distant period a wife will take her place on the throne which is now rising, and will give to the Emperor scions worthy of his great namo and of thi3 great country. See the speeches delivered in the Tribuna on the return to 319narchy in 1804. t Tacitus.—Onines, exuta equalitate, jussa principia as pectan."--01 Annals," 1., 4. That debt was imposed on the Prince on the day when the cries of " Vive I'Emperenr !" hailed him on his passage; and he will accept it virtually, but necessarily, the day when the crown graces his head. For, since the Empire is established with a view to the future, it ought to carry with it all the legitimate consequences which preserve that future from uncertainty and convulsions. " In default of the direct line and of the adoptive line, the case of succession in the collateral line must be pro- vided for. On that point we propose to you a clause by which the people should confer on Louis Napoleon the right of regulating by an organio deoree that orders of succession in the Lionaparce family. By that means our Senatus Consulturn will remain more per- fectly in accordance with the popular wish, which in it unlimited confidence has placed in Louis Napoleon's hands the destinies of the country; it will like wise be more in conformity with the political changes which Franco has entered into since the 2d of Decem- ber. The greatest political genius of Italy, in the 16th century, was accustomed to say that in those rare and solemn moments in which the question is to found a new State the will of a single man was indispensible.* That is what the nation comprehended so admirably when it intrusted to Louis Napoleon the task of drawing up the constitution which governs us. At present, that a capi tal modification is taking place in one of the very foun dations of that constitution, it appears natural and logical to again confer on Louis Napoleon a portion of the i constituent poser, in order that, in the special point which concerns most intimately the interests of the dynasty of which the nation declares him the head, he may enact such provisions as appear to him most suit able to the public interest, and to the interest of the monarch. For his family, as well as for the country, Louis Napoleon is the man of an exceptional situation, • - - and no fear must be entertained of adding to his power, in order that, with the assent of all, he may settle it by the authority of a single person. We therefore propose to you, after a conference with the organs of the Go vernment, which has led to unanimity of opinion, an article thus worded :—'Art. 4. Louis Napoleon Bona parte regulates, by an organic decree addressed to the Senate and deposited in the archives, the order to the succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family, in case he should not leave any direct or adopted heir.' " It is not necessary for us to say to you, that in this system the formula to be submitted to the French people ought to contain an express mcntion of that delegation. It will be necessary, according to the constitution, that the French people be called on to declare whether it desires or not to invest Louis Napoleon with the puwer which ws conceive ought to be conferred on him. " After having thus spoken of the succession to the imperial crown, the Senatus Consultum carries its atton• tion to the condition of the family of the Emperor. It divides it into two ports:-Ist, the Imperial family, pro perly so called, composed of the persons who may by possibility be called to the throne, and of their descen dants of both sexes; and, 2d, of the other members of the Bonaparte family. " The situation of the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial family is to be regulated by Senates Consulta, and they cannot marry with , ,ut the Emperor's consent. Art. 6 pronounces for any infraction of this regulation of public interest the penalty of losing all right to the succession, with the proviso, however, that in case of the dissolution of the marriage by the death of the wife, without issue, the right is at once recovered. " As to the other members of Bonaparte family, who compose the c . vil family, it is to the Emperor, and not any longer to Senates Consulta, that it appertains to fix by statutes their titles and situation. It is useless to insist on this distinction, as it is explained by the difference which exists between the civil family and that uniting in itself the double character of civil and political family. " We have also to ugliest your special attention to the final paragraph of article 6, which confers on the Emperor full aed entire authority over all the members of his family. These special powers are called for hs the gravest considerations, and belong to the right generally claimed by reigning families. Princes are placed in so lofty a position by public right and national interest that they are, in many respects, beyond the pale of the common law. The greater their privileges are, the more their duties are immense towards the c,tuntry. Montescusieu has said, 'lt is not for the reigning family that the order of secession is established, but because it is the interest of the State that there should be a reigning family.' rhey belong, therefore, to the State by stricter ties than other citizens, and on account of their very greatness must be retained in a sort of perpetual wardship, under the guardianship of the Emperor, the defender of their dignity, the appreciator of their actions and who stands in the place of father and guardian, in r o nt h r o d e: e llmef se e s o mt hi preserve s t n h s is d p o a not r o i t in a o p n p y l y i i n n tact l t e t he l l r e extent to f a n t c h e e , w private a r f a e mily, drawnt h f e r r o e m a t r h e e others i n o t f responsibility imposed by a name which is the property of the nation, as much as of the persons who have the honour of bearing it. "Besides, several of these persons have the privilege of being the only ones in the State that the Emperor can place by adoption in the rank of persons who may succeed to the crown. But there is no public privilege which ought not to be paid for by duties specially created to justify its necessity, and to co-operate in the object of its establishment. " There is another point which it is sufficient for us to remind you of—tho maintenance of the Salic Law in the Imperial dynasty. In France, the Salic Law is, so to speak, incorporated with the monarchy, and although its origin goes back to the remotest periods, it has so completely penetrated into our way of thinking, and is altogether so much in accord with the rules of French policy, that it is inseparable from all transtormations in the monarchical principle. " Finally, gentlemen, the Senates Consultum provides for the case in which the throne should be vacant. 6 lt ever the nation should be so unfortunate as to experi ence this Is flitction' (to use the language of the celebrated edict of July 1717) it would be for the nation to repair it. Art. 5 ffrrmally reckrgnizes this fundamental essential, and inalienable right. At the same tittle, it provides for the means of preparing a choice worthy of the French people, by its prudence and maturity. In consequence, an organic Senatus• Consultum, proposed to the Senate by the Ministers formed into a Council of Government, with the addition of the President of the Senate, the President of the Legislative body, and the President of the Council of State, shall be submitted to the free acceptance of the people, and will give to France a new Emperor. " Such, gentlemen, are the principal provisions of the Senates Consultum now submitted to you for considera tion, and which will prepare the august contract of the nation with its chief. Should you adopt it, you will order, by a concluding article, in virtue of the constitu tion, that the people be consulted concerning the re establishment of the Imperial dignity in the person of Louis Napoleon the combinations of whose sue cession we have just explained to you. But, gentlemen, we may affirm, while bending at present before a public will which only asks for an occasion to burst forth afresh, that the Empire is accomplished; and that Empire, the dawn of which has lighted up the path of Louis Nap deon in the departments of the south, rises over France surrounded by the most suspicious auguries. Every where hope revives in men's minds ; everywhere capital, restrained by the uncertainty of the future, rushes with ardour into the channels of business ; and everywhere the national sap circulates and vivifies to produce the most abundant fruits. " This reign, gentlemen, will not be cradled in the midst of arms and in the camp of insurgents Preetorlan guards. It is the work of the national feeling, most spontaneously expressed ; it has been produced in cur commercial towns, in our ports, in the most peaceful centres of agriculture and manufactures, and in the midst of the joy of an affectionate people; it will cons' epently be the Empire of Peace—that is to say, the Revolution of 1789 without its revolutionary ideas, religion without intolerance, equality without the follies of equality, love for the people without Socialist charlatanism, and national honour without the calamities of war. Ah ! if the great shade of the Emperor should cast a glance at this France which ho loved so much, it would thrill with joy at beholding the gloomy predictions of St. Helena, at one moment being so near realised, totally disproved. No, Europe is not to be delivered up to disorder and anarchy 1 No, France will not lose the s peace institutions; by a and gen e t h r o st u i s d - e m a nodfe dPrince, Napoleon, will be the safeguard of civilisation." directed o ofw herard " * Debbesi pigliare questo per una regola generale, che non mai, o di rado, occorre ch'alcuna republica, o regno, eta, da principio, ordinato bene, se non e ordinato da uno."—(Ma chiavelli, ' Remarks on Titus Livius,' 1,9.) HEALTH of LONDON during the WEEK, The mortality of the metropolitan districts continues to be rather higher than is usual at the same period of the year. The deaths registered in the week that ended last Saturday amounted to 1,101. In the ten cor responding weeks of the years 1842 51 the average number was 984, which if raised in proportion to increase of population, for comparison with the present return, becomes 1,082. The excess of last week's number above the corrected average is, therefore, not considerable. Fatal oases arising from scarlatina declined from 104 in the preceding week to 82 in the last. Eight children died of smallpox, 6 of measles, 33 of hooping-cough, 5 of croup, 5 of influenza, 18 parsons of diarrhea;, 1 of purpura, registered. of l o sy t p o h e il l l e i sal two , the mean death from 47 of typhus om cholera aw s ; 4 ees weeks the deaths from diseases of the res p irator y or g ans (exolusive of phthisis) fell from 262 to 234. Last week the births of 830 boys and 814 g irls, in all 1,644 children were registered i n London. The avera ge number in sevm corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1, 397 . At the Royal Observatory , G reenwich height of the barometer in the w eek was 29.534 in. The mean weekly temperature, which was 54'2 deg., exceeded the average of ten years by 7.7 deg. It has not been so high since the week that ended 25th September, and since the beginning of October it has not been higher than 49 9 deg. In the last two weeks it has suddenly risen from 45.6 deg. to 54.2 deg. The mean daily tem perature was 54 . 6 deg. on Sunday, or 7'9 deg. above the average ; it rose on Monday to 57'2 deg., declined till Thursday, when it was 50.3 deg., and rose again on Friday to nearly the same height as on Mondayand Tuesday, when it was about 10 deg. ab ove the average. It was higher than the average throughout the week. The wind blew generally from the south-west. SOUTH-EA‘TERN AND BRIGHTON RAILWAYS.—It was stated on Saturday in a cotemporary, that arrangements for an amalgamation of these two companies were nearly toncluded, and that Mr. Laing, M.P., the chairman of the former company, was about to resign. From inquiries made oincially at both companies, we understand that there is no foindation at the present moment for either statement.— .Itor•naing Advertiser. THE LATE WEBSTER. (I rom the Times) To the remarkable deaths which will hereafter signalize the obituary of 1852 we may now add that of the man who by common consent was reputed the greatest among the statesmen of the New World. The knowledge generally possessed by Englishmen respecting the life and services of Daniel Webster will, perhaps, hardly prepare them for the sensation which his decease has created in the country of his birth. He is spoken of in America almost as Peel was spoken of in England. The journals of the States appear in mourning for the departed states . . man, writers of all political denominations concur i❑ eulogistic biographies, and the reception of the intel ligence in every town of the Union is chronicled with uniform testimony to the popularity of the subject, As far, indeed, as concurrence of admiration can be taken for proof, we should be justified in ranking Daniel Webster among the truly great men of his age. in this opinion, however, it is not probable that the voice of Europe or the decision of history will en tirely concur. The truth is, that Mr. Webster's re putation was eminently American, and the apparent randeur of its proportions was due in no small de gree to that spirit of hyperbole in which the citizens of the States are accustomed to address themselves to all national topics. They magnify their statesmen as they magnify their scenery or their strength, not, it must be owned, for purposes of delusion, and still less with the emptiness of Asiatic boasting, but with the exaggeration incidental to Democratic institutions and national adolescence. Besides this, Mr. Webster's qualities appealed directly to the passions and senti ments of his countrymen. His oratorical powers were remarkable, and in no country does popular oratory exercise so great an influence as in the United States. Americans are enchained by speeches, and when Daniel Webster addressed an audience already predisposed to admiration, his eloquence rarely failed to rouse them to enthusiasm. In justice to his me mory, it should be added that this eloquence was usually employed on the side of genuine policy. Nor would it, indeed, be easy, with certain recent excep tions, to point out any question in which his authority was not ultimately exerted in the general interests of conciliation and peace. But it was not from this personal gift that Mr. Webster's reputation derived its most characteristic feature. He, above all others, was peculiarly the, person in whom American statesmanship was die-' played before the eyes of Europe. He was the cub ventional representative of his countrymen in their diplomatic relations with the other great Powers of the world. It was not that he enjoyed any extraor dinary tenure of those Ministerial appointments to which such functions are committed, hut his terms of office coincided remarkably with some of the most critical conjunctures of the foreign policy of the Union, and to the consideration of these subjects he brought an extensive store of jurisprudential informa tion, great personal aptitudes. and a wisdom, if not liberality of view, beyond that usually prevailing around him. It is true that he was an American, but he was an American who had seen the world, and he recognized those necessities of international inter course for which Republican politicians are sometimes fain to substitute the suggestions of impulse, interest, or power. In this capacity he commanded a respect more universal than attached to him as a Whig sena tor or a popular speaker. He tilled with considerable success what would otherwise have been almost a void i❑ the pretensions of his countrymen. I❑ him they saw an American who had not only carried American elections and guided the discussions of Congress, but who had met the diplomatists of Europe on fair ground without discredit, and who enjoyed in the capitals of the Old World a distinction which in other cases was limited to the towns of the Union. The extent, if not the character, of this renown, is sufficiently evinced by the attention now paid to his memory. We do not imagine, as we have already intimated, that the verdict of Europe will altogether support the natural partialities of America; but, at any rate, the event ❑ow announced will be esteemed of European impor tance, and it will be universally admitted that a states man of the world has been lost in the senator of Massachusetts. It is in this representative capacity that he has been so remarkably endeared to the people of the Union, nor was there any more striking feature in the recent political rivalries than the respect which in the ' most passionate heats of conflict was uniformly paid to his general pretensions. Even those who opposed his elevation acknowledged his claims, and so univer sally was he recognized as a " great man," that his adversaries were compelled to show cause why great men should not always be made Presidents. He was a distinguished and successful lawyer, a writer of considerable repute, a triumph orator, a veteran Par liamentarian, and, above all, a celebrated American. It is unfortunate that his latest displays should have been so unfavourable to his renown. On the present occasion we should be naturally reluctant to bring these blemishes conspicuously into view, but it can not be denied that the questions of the bay fisheries and the Lobos Islands placed the departed statesman in no creditable light either as a Minister or a civilian. We are the less called upon, indeed, to conceal or qualify our opinions, since the instice of our strictures was afterwards confirmed by the reversal of American policy in Mr. Webster's own hands. Either from declining strength or incidental disability, or some increase of that extraneous bias from which few American politicians can remain exempt, it is manifest that he took a wrong course, without evidence of any laudable motive. In his earlier views of foreign policy he was both mere successful and correct. At various times it became his duty to assist at or con duct some of the most important negotiations in which the Government of the Union was ever engaged. The North• Eastern boundary, the provisions of mutual extradition, the right of search on the high sea-, and the Oregon frontier constituted successive questions of policy, involving the highest interests of more than one State, and in all these discussions the influence of Mr. kVebster's authority was both power fully and meritoriously evinced. On paints, too, of more exclusively local interest, such as the annexation of Texas, the Mexican war, the reception of new States into the Union, and the compromise of the slavery disputes, his voice was heard on the side of moderation and equity. Indeed, when not biased by the temptations of party, or swayed by the pres sure of a political crisis, he was far too sagacious to be seduced into error or excess, and his support might be confidently anticipated by the promoters of right and reason. There is nothing surprising in the esteem and affec tion with which his name is now regarded throughout the provinces of the States, for his very faults were the faults of his countrymen, cherished for their plea sure, and caricatured for their benefit. In many re spects—in his oratory, for instance, in his p o p u l ar it y, and in his eminent nationality—he presents a marked resemblance to Daniel O'Connell; but he enjoys this superiority over the great agitator, that he never seri ously designed to lead his countrymen astray. If he talked to them after their own fashion, he rarely car ri,4l these popular views into the practical administra tion of the State ; and if his resistance to public ex travagance was not always what might have been de sired, it was perhaps as much as could be attempted. lie was beyond all doubt an accomplished scholar, an acute lawyer, an experienced diplomatist, and a great statesman. In this last capacity his proceedings were occasionally opposed to our ideas of such a character, but it must be remembered that statesmen are ad justed to States, and a Minister who can secure the permanent approbation of his own countrymen with as fair a renown abroad as was enjoyed by Daniel Webster, has achieved as much glory as even the best politicians are likely to obtain. FORTUNE-TELLING.--A. fellow,named Tattersall, who has just been committed to the Rochdale House of Cor rection, a short time ego induced a woman, named Ann Howard, of Facit, near Rochdale, to believe that he pos sessed certain supernatural powers; and, amongst other marvellous revelations, he told her that she was under the power of some mysterious euchantment, from which he would deliver her on the payment of ss. The woman paid the money, and in consequence of a promise she had made to give herself and children to bo controlled by him, she became very unhappy, supposing that she had by that promise rendered herself subject to an infernal power, from which she could not be released. Her fears became so alarming as ultimately to dethrone reason, and aho has been conveyed by the local authorities to the lunatic asylum. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday evening, an accident, resulting in the death of two highly re spectable persons, took place at the Seaforth station of the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Railway. Mr. Edward Hamnett, of Islington, Liverpool, principal of an eminent firm in that town, was, with his niece, a governess in a school at Seaforth, waiting for the arrival of the 8 p.m. train from that station to Liverpool. It was rather stormy at the time, and on the arrival of the train a great many passengers rushed to obtain seats.
