There seems. Weed. In mart hot 4110 anxiety in the
breasts of all, whn have a aims or a standin. and
that is, to purge themselves at once from all cons-
prieity in the criminal seta se the PitEstDENT. Even
the most timid,—those who would inevitably be silent
and hesitating in the midst of a revolution, where
issue was uncertain,—even these men come forth,
each eager to east his disclaimer in the
Lee of Loris NaPoLEoN. Count Mote asks
with indignation why he was not arrested?
And M. Laos FAUCHER, the only politician of heart
sad principle who was attached to LOUIS NAPOLEON
whilst he kept within constitutional limits, has
Written to ask what crime he has committed, that
he should be thought worthy of being included in
Se Paean:mml°s State-Council and list of notables.
• Amidst such a unanimity of sentiments prevail-
ing through the civic clans, it is utterly impos-
ble that the soldiers can remain long unmoved and
estranged from the rest of their countrymen. The
officers cannot close their breasts against the sugges-
tions and convictions of their relatives and se-
quin tames amongst the middle-classes. We need not
speak of generals, since Louis NAPOLEON has found
it neceinary to arrest and seclude every one of that
rank who was of known political opinion. And we
may be certain that there are several in command
who fully partake either the opinions of CAVAIGNAC
or those of Cnessesnmen. The very soldiers them-
pelves, however animated against the socialists of
Paris, are still not likely to perform contentedly the
permanent task of acting as the police and the exe-
cutioners of their fellow-citizens.
It will, however, take some time for the upper
glasses and influential men to tecover the stunning
effect of the Fieeslnver's coup ,hint. These men
have neither the confidence of tho people, nor of the
soldiers. They di stroyed their popularity by their
rigour and reaction in the Assembly, and flung
sway all the natural supports of a constitutional
party. Such men as CitiockenNtEn disgusted even
die commercial classes by their evident intrigues in
favour of a legitimist restoration. Although the mad
conduct of Louis Naroiros has now flung right
en the side of his opponents, still these upper classes
and notabilities will probably require sonic time town-
sett and organise either nn opposition or a rebellion.
The people alone and any portion of the army can
attempt this. Aud what is to be feared, is that the
red republicans will attempt it alone, and give the
'Didier, an opportunity of fleshing their sabres with
victory. Any triumph of the kind would be vaunted
ea having been gained over anarchy. And the ge-
nerals of the successes might give themselves the
airs of basing saved France and society,—that old
humbug, in which, unfortunately, the deizors and
the THIMISKS have traded.
There is one class by whom the scheme of LOUIS
NAPOLEON might be very favourably received, pro-
vided they could have faith in its stability.
This is the functionary claw. 'lle new impe-
rial scheme IN, in [act, an immense hierarchy
of placomen. There is a Council of State, a Senate,
a Lower Chamber, and, it would appear, an Upper
Chamber besides, every member of all and
each receiving salaries and fulfilling functions. The
number of civil employfa in France is already con-
siderable, but this would swell them to an army, and
make imperial politics a very thriving trade. But
this plan of taking a majority of the educated classes
into government pay, is a desperately expensive one.
The military emptiott will expect a share even
larger of emolument. The Pretonans must have
their gratuity, the generals their batons of marshal.
And who is to pay ? M. FOULD himself, all
Bonapartist as he may he, shrinks from the task.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer of the new empire

will be a bold maa.
One powerful mode of conciliating the French
meal population to any government, would be a
large remission of taxation. They would understand
that. And an imperial senate that decreed it, in
however arbitrary a manner, would be far preferred
to the most constitutional and liberal assembly
leaving the mist ri buttons, direetea and intlarectes, either
ss it found them, or augmented. But M. DE PER-
stuNY, the destined prime minister of Lome NA-
roLtos, will not become a SULLY. Neither he nor
his muter will edit a new edition of the (Economies
Repales. And the playing with the public puree,
derill intallibly be one of the most favourite comps.
