The " united opposition" are in a humorous quarrel
as to who is to be Prime Minister when the revolutionists
again obtain power. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has probably
no more than his own consent, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM
can number few adherents outside the ranks of the PEEL.

ITES. Lord CLARENDON cannot be thought of, as he
would not be supported by the Popish brigade; and on
the whole the honorary office is gone a begging. Lord
PALMERSTON, who so faithfully served so many adminis-
trations of so many different political opinions, the Kos-
suth mob once intended should before he died have an
administration of his own ; but Diis aliter visum. His
approval of the coup d'etat has banished the glorious
vision, and he is fain to go back and consult with the
inconsolables in Chesham-place. It is to be hoped that no
immediate necessity for a leader of the revolutionary
party is likely to arise, as not even Feargus O'Connor is
in trim to accept the office.

So Louts NAPOLEON i 5 to be Emperor by hereditary
right, as the man in the farce is a tailor " by right of
primogeniture." He has traced the appointment up to
four years before he was born, when four millions of votes
made the Empire hereditary in his family. It will be
recollected that in his address to his livery servants whom
be lately assembled as a senate, he threatened that, if the
people were not quiet, he would favour them with the
Empire. Accordingly, convenient conspiracies are begin-
ning to appear to the well-accustomed eyes of the police.
Socialism is becoming adventurous, if you believe the

" President of the Republic" is standing over a volcano.
The prefects of police point clearly to a state of affairs,

among what were the Red Republicans, beyond the
reach of applications of Cayenne to cure. There is
nothing for it but the desperate remedy of the Empire.
The " cruellest way is the kindest way," they think, and
is better to put on the bee-embroidered robes at

difficult to get one up in France ? The priests
raptures, and there is hope of his Holiness finding
