TUE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8, 1862

of England, the cordial alliance of the two nations
has remained wholly undisturbed during the entire
interval of those now more than ten years which
have elapsed since NAPOLEON 111. was summoned
to the Throne of NAPOLEON the GREAT by the
votes of 8,000,000 of Frenchmen. The increase
of our warlike estimates, it is true, we can-
not but still growl over as a nation of eco-
nomists. We have had our doubts—we still
i have them, and, in
,having them, maintain
even in this time of peace, the Army and Navy of
Old England in the highest possible state of
efficiency, doing so, of course, only by the most
lavish disbursements. Yet, knowing all that, though
we do but too well, it does still remain a fact beyond
the reach of all denial that during the whole of
these ten years of the reign of the Emperor NAPO-
LEON 111., England and France have loyally re-
mained true to each other. Within that memorable
interval the soldiers of France and England have,
side by side, shed their blood as brothers-in-arms in
the same cause—and this, too, both in Europe and
in Asia! The Crimean War added glorious memo-
ries to the annals alike of France and of Eng-
land. Together, France and England, at the
point of the bayonet extorted under the walls of
Pekin a complete and absolute submission from the
Chinese. During these ten years, France has
measured her sword anew successively with the
sword of Russia and with the sword of Austria.
She has, under the rule of NAPOLEON lll.—(France
may like this reflection, though England would cer-
tainly not under similar circumstances)—she has so
far extended her frontier line towards the East,
that it now embraces within it Nice and
Savoy ! Materially, also, France has within
that interval of ten years prospered beyond a
doubt, and very considerably advanced. Her com-
mercial enterprise has been encouraged and de-
veloped. The principles of Free Trade have
wisely been adopted in lieu of the old (fast be-
coming obsolete) principles of Protection. Paris
itself, as the truly Imperial capital of France,
has been transformed, as if by the wand
of an Enchanter. A resplendent city though
it was, long before these ten years last
passed had well commeo.ced—Paris has now
become a metropolis of surpassing magnificence.
There alone—even if it had been nowhere else—
the master hand of the reigning EMPEROR has
rendered itself visible through the lordly works it
has accomplished. Boulevards upon Boulevarde
circling Paris, and crossing each other in all direc-.
tions—streets of palaces—parks and gardens—
fountains and public edifices—the Louvre complete,
the Tuileries in course of reconstruction or rehabi-
litation—new bridges across the Seine, new quays
along its banks, new markets, new hospitals—if
NAPOLEON 111. has not, like another EMPEROR,
found the metropolis of his empire brick and left it
marble, he has evidenced in Paris for centuries to
come the fact that his reign will be memorable if for
nothing else, as the reign of Imperial Reconstruc-
tion. As a not unfitting memento, therefore, of
the first decade of His MAJESTY'S reign—the
Parisians witnessed yesterday the inauguration of
yet another superb Boulevard, called, after the ma-
ternal uncle of NAPOLEON 111., the Boulevard
Prince EUGENE: his MAJESTY promising that the
next Boulevard (one actually now projected) shall
be called after RICHARD LENOIR, that self-made
patriot and philanthropist who is the glory of the
working classes of France.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE..—PLYMOUTH, Sanday Night.
—During a heavy gale of wind from the S.W. yesterday it
was reported to Capt. Ayler, R.N., the Queen's Harbour
Master, that a foreign vessel was in distress not far from
the Rame Head, He at once signalled for a Government
steam tug, and ordered the lifeboat of the National Life-

boat Institution to be launched, which was at once done.
The steamer then took the lifeboat in tow, and, with Capt.
Ayler, went to the ship, which was at anchor a mile and a
half to the N.W. of the [tame Head, and which proved to
be the Dutch galliot Aromana, bound from Saffer to Fal-
mouth. She had overshot her port, and, being embayed,
had let go her anchor, but was fast drawing towards the
shore. The lifeboat was found to be of essential service on
the occasion in effecting through the surf a communication
with the vessel. The lifeboat is most highly spoken of by
the crew. The vessel, after some difficulty, was taken in
tow by the steam tug and safely brought in here about 8
p.m., accompanied by the lifeboat. This is tho first service
performed by this fine lifeboat, which was stationed here by
the National Lifeboat Institution in February last, through
the liberality of Miss Burdett Coutts. The crew of the
lifeboat, after this severe trial, have the greatest confidence
in her, both in respect to her sea-going and rowing qua-
lities.
A decision has just been come to by the Director-
General of the French Post-office abolishing the privilege
hitherto enjoyed by provincial scientific associations of ex-
changing their publications postage free. A society at
Cambray, which has forwarded 78 copies of its last publi-
cation under the envelope of the Ministry of Public Instruc-
tion, has been called on to pay 144 f. for their postage as
unpaid letters.
GAROTTING.—The servant of Sir Geo. Cornewall
Lewis was garotted, knocked down, and robbed at his mas-
ter's gate in Knightsbridge, the other evening. The man
was dreadfully stunned, and was so confused when he re-
covered
that he could give little or no assistance to the
police in the way of description of the ruffian or ruffians.
Had it been the Minister instead of the man who had suf-
fered this assassin-like attack, there would be a good chance
of a more energetic action on the part of the authorities to
put down garotting.—Court Journal.
It is announced (but not officially) that the se-
cond daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark, the Prin-
cess Sophie Marie Frederica Dagmar, aged 15 (the sister of
the Princess Alexandra), will be affianced to the Hereditary
Grand Duke Nicolas of Russia, the Cesare witch, aged 19 ;
and that their confirmation is postponed because, previous
to this ceremony, they will enter the Greco-Catholic
church.

vard Prince Eugene:—

"M. Dumas having addressed the Emperor in
the name of the Municipal Commission, his Im-
perial Majesty replied in terms which we would
not presume to summarise. It is sufficient to state
that the speech of the Emperor was enthusiastically
received. Two portions, however, of the address
especially attracted the attention of the'audience.

" The Emperor touched upon the question of the
baking trade of Paris as regards its bearing upon
the interests of the population, and then continued,
It was at first intended to bestow upon the trans-
verse boulevard the name of Queen Hortense, but
I have no desire to monopolise for my family the
tribute of popular homage which ought to be re-
served for our national glories.'
" The Emperor stated that he should give a new
boulevard the name of Richard Lenoir, who from
a simple workman became one of the most eminent
manufacturers in Europe, and who, after having
given his workmen food in times of distress, trans-
formed them into soldiers, and marched at their
head, at a period when the country was in danger.

that it is ply the rich who are able to borrow (on

"Numerous cries of Long live the Emperor and
Empress,' followed the speech of his Majesty."
