PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Nam, December 1.
Tint Emperor and Empress left Fontainebleau this
morning at twelve o'clock, and arrived at the palace
of the Tuileries at a quarter past two. There was
no official reception. The Prince Napoleon and the
Princess Mathilde have also returned to Paris. The
season will now begin, and great efforts will be made
to render it as gay as possible.
The mayors of the different towns officially con.
nected with the Hotel de Vile have been required to
build state carriages, to be used at all public recep-
tions. The senators have been reminded that some
outward show is necessary to keep up the prestige of
their rank; and the Councillors of State and official
dignitaries have been given to understand that the
state of affairs requires a full representation of their
positions. In fact, everything will be done to con-
tribute to the splendour of the Imporial Court, and
to interest the shopkeepers in the maintenance of
the present order of things. Titr festivities at Fon-
tainebleau have been sumptuously heavy ; and the
proverbial affability of the Impe►ial hosts has not
been able always to dispel ennui. The ladies found
themselves obliged to change their dresses several
times during the day, to comply with the fashion re-
quiring a different costume for every varied amuse-
ment.

The fusion of Gnizot, declared confusion by Thiers,
having now become a fait accompli, some result is
naturally looked for—either in a change of attitude
in the high contracting parties towards France, or in
a formal declaration of rights addressed to the Euro-
pean Courts. Here, this family compact has had no
effect ; it has united no parties nor satisfied any am-
bitions. The Imperialists view this fusion of the
elder with the younger branch of the Bourbons as

and worse played.
On Wednesday. Dec. 7, the statue of Marshal Ney,
erected by order of the Emperor, will be inaugurated
in the grand alley of the Observatory, on the spot
where his execution took place in the Luxembourg,
on the corresponding day, sai. Isls.
Domiciliary visits continue to be made by the police
in the departments, as yet without any result.
Eugene Sue has commenced the publication of a
new novel in the Slick, entitled " La Famine Joni
froy," with a dedication to M. Victor Schwlcher, his
friend, a proicript at Jersey, he himself writing from
Annecy le vieux, in Savoy, where he is residing.
The culture of cotton in Algiers is receiving great
encouragement from the tiovermnent. The Prefect
has recently made a journey to visit the plantations
in his district, and has found them universally
luxuriantly flourishing, and has reported that shortly
this province will furnish enough cotton to supply
the ordinary demands of tho manufacturers in
France.

An imperial decree of the 29th November approves
of the election of M. le Comte de Niettwerkerke by
the Academy des Beaux Arts to fill the vaeintey we&
sinned by the death of M. Aristide Dumont.
The Tribunal of Correctional Police have acquitted,
in the audience of 29th November, Messrs. Dumont,
the editor of the Estafette, Pecourt, editor of the Beho
Agriefde, and Anger, editor of the Bulletin des Mlles
et Marehi*, inculpated for the publication of false
news. The defendants had given as the ruling quota-
tions in the corn-markets prices differing front those
furnished by the official lists. However, these varia-
tions were not considered of sufficient gravity to eon.
%Witte the offence contemplated by the law Decree
of the 17th February, Iso2, Art. 1:i), of publishing
false news with malice prepense ; thus they were
pronounced Not Guilty.
There is literally no news up to this moment of the
slightest consequence.

A report was widely circulated in Paris on Wed.
nesday that an attempt had been made on the life of
the Emperor at Fontainebleau. The only foundation
for the rumour was the fact that Louis Napoleon had
a fall from his horse while limiting, but without
having sustained any injury.
The Moniteur, in announcing that there would be
no far on the occasion of the anniversary of the !hid
of December, states that the only officially recog-
nised fite is that of St. Napoleon on the 15th of
August.
A new fife, instituted by the Archbishop of Paris,
and called the Fiti des Ernie*, was celebrated for the
first time on Sunday last in the church of Sainte
Genevieve (late the Pantheon). The professed oh-
jeet of this.fitc was to show forth and extol the re-
eonciliat. and union of religion and science. M.
Fortoul, the Minister of Public instruction, was pre-
sent, and the concourse of men connected with lite-
rature and the arts who attended IV Rs unusually large.
The archbishop, after the mass, read a eulogium of
Augustine 1., in the course of which he paid a high
compliment to Corneille, Racine, and Boileau, but
did not pronounce the name of Molii\re, the great
French comic writer not being in good odour with the
clergy.
The rumour that the Government intended
licensing gaming.houses in Paris is once more olli
dally contradicted by the Monitear.
The four caudoyis of the Orleans line, tried for
having by their negligence occasioned the late catas-
trophe, have been found guilty by the Poitiers Court.
Baron de Creverwur is sentenced to a year's impri-
sonment and I,ollof. fine, M. de Sassenay to two
years' imprisonment and 1,500 f. fine, M. Lemke to
one year and :loot tine, and M. Leroy to six months'
imprisonment and :Matt. fine. M. 1l )eon, the mana-
ger, is declared civilly responsible.
Saturday's Moniteur publishes the imperial decree
ordering the formation of ten new battalions of
Chasseurs de Vincennes, with ten companies a piece;
and also the addition to each existing battalion of two
new companies. An order for the withdrawal of a
snflicient number of men for these purposes foam
time regiments of the line is given, so that the general
effective strength of the army may not lw added to,
though the etileiency of this particular arm is so
largely increased. Each battalion of Chapman, will
contain 1,..15m men. The increase of that force
consists, therefore, of about 15,440 men. The rin
cipal manufactories of arms in French are actively
engaged in the fabrication of carbines, on the model
of those of the Chasseters de Vincennes, for the sup-
ply of these new battalions.
It is stated that the Ministerial paper, the Pays,
will speedily publish an article by way of reply to the
announcement of the fusion, or rather to the mani-
festo which the princes are expected to address either
to the French nation or the European powers. The
object of the fusionists, as avowed by some of them-
selves, is to take advantage of any occurrence in the
political world, foreign or domestic, for time further•
ance of their object—a royalist restoration. In case

of any accident to the Emperor, an appeal is to be
made to the army, who, they appear to think, will,
without much hesitation, accept their chief. They
will permit. they say, the present Emperor to con-
tinue to reign ; Lint, should any accident occur, they
will not suffer another Bonaparte to succeed him ;
and, as for the " will of the nation," which, it is the
Emper►r's boast, gave him the crown, they declare
they will take no heed of it, as, even suppoaing it to
have been faitl►fudly capressed, the nation acted
under an hallucination. and should he regarded as a
