to pomade France had the teat of the world that,
with the reign of Louis Napoleon, .Redennt Saturnia

can only give the world a new Augustus." The Patric

The Patric., whose enthusisam is like tinder rizlitises

and whatever vagueness may be in the latter phrase
will be turned to the account of the designs cherished
by those in power, and the benefit of the doubt OM
perhaps be given to the empire.
The Monsieur publishes 19 more resolutions or
addresses of council-general. Of these only two ask
in terms for the hereditary empire.
The council of the Basses prays that the Prince may com-
plete his work of reparation and ensure the benefits of his
work foe ever "by accepting the hereditary power that the
nation will be so happy to confer upon him." That of the
Indre asks that the powers of Louis Napoleon may be era-
solidstal and surrounded with all the guarantees of
stability necessary to close the era of revolutions and to
ensure by the hereditary principle the future of the country.
Sit, with more or less circuity of language, clearly express
• wish for home extension or prolongation of the
President's powers. The remaining eleven ask for
no change, and many of these use carefully selected
phrases, in which a feeling decidedly hostile to any
change is perceptible. But of the six that do not
specify the hereditary empire as the object of their desires,
some evidently mean their resolutions to be interpeted is
1 any way the President may please. For instance, the coun-
Icil of the Yonne, apostrophysing the Prince personally, tells
him that Frazee, tranquillised by his coining, associates him
with the admiration, respect, and gratitude that it owes to
the emperor ; that the work commenced and to be finished
by him was as meritorious as the mission of his immortal
uncle, and more difficult ; that he slime understands the
country ; that be alone has never mistaken its reel tenden-
cies. Let him, therefore, continue to follow hia own aspi-
ratioas, and history will write his can't under the great
name which occupies the first place in the annals of the
world. The authors of this abject sdastretiion would
evidently vote for the canonisation of their idol if they
were told to do so. The spirit of their address in,

what may seem good in his own eyes. So Herniae, after
, the coup cre co
st, rebuked a member of the asultative coa-
lnankin who proposed that Louis Napoleon should live in
the Tuileries. The Prince was the best judge of what WY
fitting to 'tippet his dignity. The event proved that all
the royal palaces were necessary for this purpose. The
comma of the Reuse, convinced that a strong and stable
government is alone conformable to the genius and ancient
usages of France, expresses a wish for the complete and (In-
finitive consolidation of the powers of Prince Louis Napo-
leon, the nephew and heir of the Emperor. Here the
. hereditary principle is implicitly proclaimed. The saideli

I Not one of the councils has hitherto asked ttiatPnLoals
Napoleon may be made emperor for life. The council eif
the Raises Pyrenies prays that the powers of the Prince
may be so strengthened as that the I. much nation may at
Met find in a " long future " that complete security sad
confidence which are the necessary conditions of her glory.
The Isere asks that the national institutions may be eon.
militated upon larger and more durable bases. The M.
roads refers to the constitutional powers of the Senate,
and expresses the wish that that body maytake the
initiative of a legal measure tending to give to Louis
Napoleon's government the form and stability required
by the interests, genies, and manners of France. The coun-
cil of the Correse tails upon the President to finish his work,
since the present will be more prosperous if the foundations
are at once laid of the future. Of the councils in whose
resolutions nothing imperial can be found, perhaps the
I meet remarkable is the Haut Rhin, which asks the Presi-
dent to continue to employ the powers which the nation
" has confided to him" for the maintenance of the public
peace and the development of national wealth. This la a

allusion to the elective principle seems meant in contradis-
tinction to the hereditary. The Morbihan believes society to

him of their loyal support. The Ardeehe hopes to en power
consolidated more sad more in the heeds of the Prince
President of the " Republic." Thie must mesa the power
given to him by the existing constitution, since there are
hardly so many steps to the empire as so justify the gra•
dusted ferns of expression more and more. The Haute
Mares pray that the Prince President of the " Republic "
may long watch over the destinies of Fosse. The two
latter eouncils, by the way, are the only Gass in this day's
batch that use the word " republic." The Dordogne trusts
that the duration and stability of the powers whisk the I
people " have conferred " upon the Prince may preserve
the country from fresh revolutions. The Indira sad Loire
seems to think the principal authority already ealabhohed, •

consideration on the part of the King of the Two Sicilia.
The King, aceompenied by the royal family, went in his
steamboat to Ischia, and kad a conference with the Prince,
when an explanation courteous on one side and freak and de-

King and his lieutenant in Sicily, to the great regret of
some courtiers sad revolutionists.
