In the re-establishment of the empire all the for-
malities prescribed by the cwlstitution of 1842 aro to
be strictly observed. The Moniteur contains the fol-
lowing important preamble and decree :
The striking manifestation which has Just taken place
throughout France in (Anus of the rtestahlishment of the
empire imposes on the Prince President of the Republic the
duty of convoking the Senate. The Senate will useable
es the 4th November nest. If a change in the form of
government should molt from its deliberations, the ;• Meth/8
eonsoftwis which it shall have adopted will he submitted
to the ratification of the French people. In order to give
to this great act all the authority which It ought to have,
the Li gialative body will be called on to decide on the
regalanty of the votes, to elamine them, and to declare
the result of them.

This decree dispels the serious doubts which have
for some time prevailed in many minds whether any
fresh appeal to the people would be considered neces-
sary to sanction the restoration of the Bonapartist
dynasty. The constitution, it is true, provides
that no organic change in the form of govern-
ment can be effected without such an appeal. But
from the stress laid in very recent addresses upon
Louis Napoleon's hereditary right, from the reite-
rated assertions of the government journals that the
people understood both in December, 1848, and De-
cember, 1831, that they were acclaiming an
Emperor, and from the airiumption of the
title of Napoleon 111., it has been !rur-
alised that the constitution itself would be deemed
superseded by circunuitances. It has been plausibly
argued that the constitution was a mars emanation
from the too susceptible modesty of the heir of the
Emperor, who out of his scrupulous deference to the
popular will refrained from the assumption of the fall
powers which it was twice the intention of the people
so clothe him with, not by way of a new
gift, but by way of confirmation of a right
actually existing in his person. That—this in-
tention having sow been so signally manifested by
the enthesisede aselemetions of all France that
the Prbwe Uri is =spelled to declare that

be idle to pee spin in motion the raeshisery
