of the Moniker. The use made of the event by
M. Amedeo de Cesena is such as to encourage a pub-
lic already sceptical enough oa the reality of this
plot, to look upon it as an ingenious figment to
Oro a fresh impulse to the cannons% for the Em-
pire. Tho article of the Pays is as follows :
In the midst of the narration of the triumphs gad fats
which everywhere signalise the progress of Prince Louis
Napoleon, the telegraph comes suddeely with an an-
nouncement that appals the imaginatim by the de-
pravity which it discloses, and the abyss which it discovers.
The peril is pared, the danger was foreseen by the vigilance
of the authorities who watch over the repose of the country
end the life of its saviour. Is it not already too much, a
great deal too mush, for the honour of the nation that the
idea of so horrible a plot, of so monstrous • crime, could
possibly have arisen In shaman heart In a French soul ? Jul
nO, they who la their Bevies delirium emit ;moo Ifiligined
1 Ob. ,erne of blood and aerial, this teens of mourning and
carnage, which, had God, for the punishment of France and
the world, permitted the execrable project, of which Mar-
scales was to have been the theatre, to be esecuted, would
have terrified the population of that city, have nothing
human or French about them. It is with a feeling of deep
grief and profound indignation that Europe will learn that
there still exists • factious race so degrade) and so perverse
as to become assassins, in seeking through instruments of .
vengeance and destruction, aptly named infernal machines,
the odious triumph of we know not what doctrines, which
belong to no petty so they belong to no nation. One would
wish to believe, for the honour of humanity, disgraced by
inch monsters, that there is more of madness than ferocity
in the fury which arms their murderous hands ; and yet
what refinement in crime, what frightful determination of
purpose in this machine, which, to attain with more cer-
tainty the destruction of a single man, scatters death among
thousands of ciders*. What a depth of wickedness! More
fortunate than when, fifty years ago, the Emperor
Napoleon, then first consul, narrowly escaped perishing
in Paris, at the apogee of his power and renown, by an at-
tempt of the same nature, the authorities have prevented
the explosion of the infernal machiae at Marseilles. But
the peril which has threatened the days of Louis Napoleon,
can only make the nation understand the better how much
it ought to thank Providence for having raised hint up in
the days of anarchy and misery to save us from the abyss
towards which we were hourly marching, urged on by the
wind of February. It is at this moment above all others
that we must feel how intimately the destinies of France
are linked with the life and power of the nephew of the
emperor. If the impious bonus of assassins had snatched
the life of Louis Napoleon from the love of the
people that crowd to see him as he passim what a
void would there not have been in the state? Who
CM venture in cold blood to measure the ex-
tent of the loss? Who can dare to calculate the
frightful coasequencee of such • catastrophe ? Yes, low
can we not tremble with horror when we imagine to our-
wives the spectacle which the success of such an attempt
would have substituted for that picture of the homage of the
multitude which is as hymns of gratitude and enthusiasm
chanted by • whole people ? What fear would have at
once taken possession of every heart, and how would this
pomp, this joy, and this serenity have Seen instantly
changed into images of terror and desolation ! But God,
who protects France, has crushed the plot of the south.
Let us bless God for having preserved to us the magnet
prince who alone can give us a long future of repose and
prosperity.
The following telegraphic despatches are in the

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Prone of the 22nd inst. contains a
monitory article on Belgium. The youngest of
European states is reminded that it is not entitled to
Iplay the moderator in European politics, but is bound
to conform itself to the ordcr•policy of the greater
states. It adds that Belgium is not in the number of
those states whose existence is guaranteed in the
I treaties of ml 5 : its later independence is only an
indulgence granted by the great powers, and one
of the most essential conditions of the prolongation
of that indulgence is the removal of all per cos

peror of Austria has made proposals of marriage to
