THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON ON POLITICA'
_ _
ASSASSINATION

The Nord of Tuesday contains the following letter,
dated Paris, Julyl2 :—At Fontainebleau a few days agc
the conversation turned upon the tragical end of Prince
Michael of Servia, and the manifestoes of Felix Pyat
inciting to the assassination of the Emperor. The fear
was expressed' lest such detestable examples and such
odious excitations should occasion some fresh attempt
against the head of the State. The Emperor held
the contrary opinion; and as every look turned
towards him seemed to claim the secret of his confidence,
he spoke in these terms, which we have been able to
obtain, and which we endeavour to reproduce with the
utmost possible exactness :—" In the position I occupy
life has only one attraction, that of being useful to the
prosperity and grandeur of France. As long as I
live I shall pursue no other object, and Providence,
which hitherto has visibly sustained me, will not
abandon me. My fate, moreover, is in its hands. It will
decide whether my life or my death can best serve
the interests of the country. In presence of so many
parties animated by rival ambitions and subversive
passions, there is no security for France unless she remains
closely united to my dynasty, which is the only symbol of
order and progress. It might happen that a violent death,
if such befel me, would contribute much more to the con-
solidation of my dynasty than the prolongation of my
days. Just see what happens : the man who instigates or
who commits a political assassination, who makes him-
self at once judge and executioner, always produces a
contrary effect to that he wishes to attain ; it is the
punishment of his crime, it is inevitable. What has just
taken place in Servia is the evident proof of this. The
conspirators hoped, by killing Prince Michael, to bring
another dynasty into power; they have strengthened, for
a long period, the family of the Obrenovitch. Here, at
home, if one of the many attempts against King Louis
Philippe had succeeded there is every probability that the
House of Orleans would still be reigning over France. If
I fell under the assassin's blow to-morrow or to-day the
people with one voice would acclaim my son ; and even if
all the Imperial family disappeared, they would go forth,
as in Servia, in search of some little nephew heir
to my name, some Milano or other, to raise up anew the
flag of the Empire, revenge the murder, and sanction once
more this truth, that the parties which stain their hands
in blood never profit by their crime. I can thus regard
the future without fear. Whether I live or die, my life or
my death will be equally useful to France, for the mission
which has been imposed upon me will be accomplished
either by me or mine." These words (says the correspon-
pondent of the Nord, in conclusion) were uttered in the
midst of a rather numerous circle.
