Translation of letter from one of the most
respectable houses in Havre, to a gentleman
in this city, dated
"HAvRE, March IS, 1915.
{" The newspapers, since Napoleon's Ian
dine, until his arrival in Paris, are of such
high Importance, that they have all been
bought up, and have thus not been able to
send YOU any. That small collection is worth
an hundred years in history, and if France &
Europe are amazed at those events which
we so unexpectedly witness, you must be still
more soin proportion to the distance that Sc
parates me from you. No doubt, long reas-
cnine and dissertations will be made in the
United States, on the means which have COM
bined to replace on the throne of France
man, who, twenty-three days before, was liv-
ing in the Island of Elba. The facts may be
reduced to this {: Napoleon had for him the
whole army: the officers either disgraced or
sent home the lower class of the people
the purchasers of national domains, who had
become uneasy finally mass of people, that
have lost their places and hope to regain
ahem.-It is with such levers, without the
shedding of one drop of blood, that this sur
pricing revolution has been brought about, by
which the Bourbons are again displaced, of
whom the chief only was beloved by all that
Is honest in France. The rest of the family
thing to inspire that confidence and public
rsteen Of which they were so much in need,
to maintain themselves in the possession of
the inheritance bequeathed them by their an
cestors. They are anew deprived of that in
heritance. VIII they return, and when -
The answer to that question is written
in the impenetrable DEGREES of Omnipo-
Sence.
''It would he equally rash to decide upon
the Immediate consequences Of Napoleen's
appearance. His proclamations are warlike
they eXalt liberty, peace and victory; and
to obtain victories, war is the first thing ne
csssary, and the preparations required there
II are already making. The regiments that
march 20 Paris have hardly been reviewed
by the Emperor, when they are sent to the
frontiers of the Rhine, and particularly to
those of Brabant. In this last country the
English or rather Hanoverian army, is con
centrated. She will have to encounter
strrz force, the Belgic people being for
Frlac4, under whose government their man
uf,,rres and their industry have prospered,
whilst inc importation into Brabantof English
gocds Rave been so great, that the manuta C.
ture o. tic country are ruined and thus
have that pedpie also imbibed the same an
inosity with which England has had the ia
lent OF s wsfdness to inocUlate all the ma
sions agg;ns. bar and the conquest Of Bel
gnim will pertars be the easiest triumph that
the French have aimed.
