of Nipokon has expired in eine. at ':ye of 78.
The capital feature in Marmon th biography is the
separate eapitalatiea by whisk he the Em-
peror at Foetal:Mean, and according to which he un-
comod his master 'by! drawing off his turps denude
to Versailles, and leaving the road to Footainbleau
open to the allied moues concentrated at Paris.
Lamartine has attempted, but without much success,
to whitewash due evidently hue desertion,
which at once stopped all peeeibility of negotiating

bable, mid ?muddied the Impure, lathe rock of Elba,

court tithe elder Bourbons, Marmont repaired in
gems samsare the stain which his treacherous be-
trayal of the Emperor, in 1814, must ever leave upon
hie memory.
A note, whose official character is stamped by the
signature of " Communiqué," has been inserted in
the Patric, for the purpose, it Amid seem, of show-
ing how unblushingly tho ministers can prevari-
cate. Everybody knows that immediately
after the promulgation of the confiscation decree of
January 22, the Muniteur was obliged to state
that General Arnaud had given in his resigna-
tion on ',that day, together with the other
' ministers, but that he had been induced by
the President to retract his resignation, which
was accepted. A note is now inserted in the jour-
nals of the government to make it appear
that complete harmony has prevailed between
Louis Napoleon and his Minister of War.
But you will observe that the contradiction of
dimensions is confined to thaw matters which am-

cern the war department: It is, in fact, intended to
discredit the report, which I sent you from a good
source, that General St. Arnaud had refused to sign
decrees for putting upon the retired list officers whose
attachment to the Orleans party is notorious. The
note is as follows:

A report has been several timcs circulated that certain
differences had arisen between the President of the Re-
public and General St. Arnaud. This report is absolutely
false. We declare, fee the sake of truth, that since the se-
cession of General et Arland to power not the slightest
different* has taken plan between him and the President
I'pas any one of the questions relating to his ministry.
Ve 'Ann this in the most formal meaner.

Not oven in the limited sense which is given by
the latter part to the denegations is this official
communication trusted by any thinkinK person. But
it is highly significant, as showing the jealous appre-
hension entertained lest the rumoured differences
between the President and his minister of war should
gain credit. This fear is the better grounded, as it is
now matter of notoriety that M. de Morny, the
other chief agent of the coup flat has been worried
b 7 a series of small persecutions, and visited by mor-
tification' which have driven him into decided oppo-
sition. Thus, after it had been settled that
the ox-minister of the interior should be president
of the Clops Legnica?, and candidate for Paris, the
desired place has been given to M. Billanit, and the
candidature of do Morey thrust into a corner, where
his double election is evidently a mutinous answer to
the official note, which asserted in the Coudituinousel

that every double candidature would be opposed by
the government.
To-day there prevailed at the Bourse fresh ru-
mours concerning the intention to convert the Five
per Cents.
I hear to-day that Marshal Excelmans is to be ap-
pointed to the post of grand marshal of the palace,
when the new soup-detest establishing the empire
shall have been struck. General the Duke do
Mortemart, who recently signalised his adhesion to
Louis Napoleon by accepting • command in the
Cher, is likely in that came to succeed Excelmans as
Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour.
The chateau of Menden has, I hear, been granted
to Marshal Jerome Bonaparte as a summer residence.
A decree in the Moniteur declares it to be indis-
pensable for every public functionary to take an oath
el allegiance, in accordance with Art. 14 of the con-
stitution ; and orders that in case such oath is re-
fused. or its terms modified in any way, the person
so acting shall be considered as having given an his
resignation. Special decrees shall determine the
mode in which the ministers, members of the great
bodies of the State, officers in the army and navy,
magistrates, and functionaries, shall take the oath in
question.
The following is the text of the oath required by
Art. 14 : " I swear ebedienoo to the constitution and
fidelity to the Passident." It is remarkable that,
while the virtu of ma oath is so curiously described
and imbed ipini in the above decree, the
ematitntien peddle no oath to be taken by
the IPsesfierk hinusif. It is fair to suppose
' ft* hie sonsoismee must have been sorely tormented
by tin oath that he swore to that constitution which
he destroyed on Dec. 2, since he
.shrinks from ham-
I pertng himself in like manner again.
A special train arrived at Havre the day before
yesterday, from Paris, with 477 prisoners condemned
to transportation. They wero escorted by a detach-
ment of sixty of the gendarmerie mobile, and were
immediately taken to the Florida basin, and
embarked on board the Christophe Colombe,
which soon afterwards left the dock. Among the
number sent on board her are M. Salve, ex-chef de
bataillon of the national gnai4 of Sotteville, a pointer
named Aymard, M. Le leer-Villiers, of Rouen, and
M. Pen&, who was the organiser of the Montegnard
game.
