spirit of eyaggeation and nisfep presentation when
has always pervaded the British press when treating
Of French affairs has at this time, i anything, IN
creased and their ina gnatEe faculties become pro-
porilonaiey more vivid. The liverpool Times,
booking through the talaifying medium Of British
torvism, seriously announces that the people Of
France are about 10 call Louis Napoleon to the
tlsone, almost by reclamation that the only strug-
Bic for supremacy win be between the Legitimists
and the Bonapartists, and that the splendid pa
geant of French republic will Dissolve
Andlke the laaseless fabric Of a vision
Leave not a wreck behind g
The London Times also predicts speedy end to
French republicanism, and advises the interesting
young gentleman about whom all the cofnnnotion Is
raised to play bis cards we'll and he may soon be
Emperor Of France. These are the opinions Of the
British press, and Of course those persons Of our
own country who regulate their ideas according to
the tone Of the English papers, will religiously be-
lieve that Imperialism is about once more to obtain
footing upon fhesoil Of France. As for ourselves,
we must confess that after having examined atten
lively the state Of affairs IN Parisiudgng from the
known sentiments of the mass Of the people, and
The strength Of parties, we can come to no such
conclusion. 1t is true that Paris was considerably
agitated- persons arrested, and that the
Assembly managed to get itself into quite state
Of excitement, becausea few men had thrown their
capsin the air and shouted V1Ue LOUIS Napoleon;
but this is not sufficient cause for the gloomy fore
bodings 10 which it has given rise 1t is Unnatural
to expect that in revolutionary times each faction
will try to grasp the power which has slipped from
the hands Of Others The Bonapartist faction has
existed in. France since the fall Of Napoleon, but
has always been considered more contemplate in
point Of numbers than any except the Legitimists.
"A few men, however, can make great noise-and
making noise is the bestw to get up an excite
ment The system has been commenced by the
Napoeonists, and the Assembly, after some theatre
cal fiourisies, showed how much it was alarmed,
By permitting the Quixotic Prince totake the seat
10 which he had been chosen. But it is not alone
that the Bonapartist party is small and without IN
auence that we think too much Importance Is at
tached to il. The Communists and Associationists
comprise about tNo-thirls of the population. They
were the prime movers in the recent revolution,
andstheir object was the solution of great prob
lem. the rights and proper organization of labor "
The time has come when this question must be
settled, and is too serious nature to be eclipsed
by the reflected brilliancy Of a sun long set The
people Of France viii not permit the Government,
which is the representative of great social princi
pie, 10 become mere playtng in the hands Of an
ambitious man We believe the sentiment of the
French nation lobe fully expressed in the following
from The Journal des Sans ulotes one of the new
papers to which the Republic has given birth:
