FARTHER NEWS BY THE CANADA.
FRANCE. -. Course of Louis Napoleon.

Three months ago we predicted that Louis Napo
leon would not tamey consent 'to be fattened up
like pig" as Napoleon said to Sieyes. The new
President met his Ministers, and made use emphati
caliy Of the identical expression that he would not
be . I'M COh0n EengrQis" and the first assertion
of his power has sgnaIly failed. He demanded, in
high tone, from NJ. VAUDEVILLE, the surrender of
the official documents connected with the Stras-
boIrg and Boulogne affairs The Ministers de-
INJURED, and at length fatty refused and, appeal
ing to his colleagues to support him, they all re-
signed in body, and Louis Napoleon was COM
PEELED TO present himself and promise that he would
endeayor TO reign under a responsible Constitutional
Ministry for the future. We reject, az untrustwor-
thy, all the reports circulated respecting the part
NJ. Theirs is alledged to have taken in the Bonlogne
affair--namely, to incte Louis Napoleon to the in
vaslon, and then 10 betray him. Louis Napoleon
wanted no Indictment whatever. He is now in
the possession of authority and every day furnishes
proof of his ncompetency and want of power TO
cope with all the difficulties of the moment. The
new President proposed to supersede vast number
Of the Projects in the provinces, and dictated list
of his nominees TO the Minister. This step was
also rejected, and the result has been modification
of the Administration, without in the least degree
adding to its intrinsic strength The appointments
of the of Ney and NJ. Boissy 10 embassies of
the highest class, which were also insisted upon by
the President, proved farther failure; and il has
only been earnest desire of his friends TO avoid
general breakup which has induced some of his
Ministers to retain office. The above ill-cOnsdered
diplomatic appointments have been Cancelled, and
these avorites will probably be provided for in some
other mode; but these political blunders go far to
destroy the prestige of Louis Napoleon with the
French nation, and the feeling naturally gains
ground that the revolution has not yet terminated.
Beside these untoWard events, the cooperation of
the National Assembly presents another stumbling
block in the way of an established Government.
The new President seems occupied in giving grand
receptions TO men of emnence of every shade of
political opinions. When he appears in public, the
populace receive him with every demonstration of
respect and his urbane manners toward all classes
gain him friends every where. There have been
some disturbances in the Batignoles, near Paris,
but they were confined TO the locality. The French
funds rather lower. The uncertainty which
prevails restecting the patriotism of the Cabinet,
in being willing to dissolve il without political
strnggle, is the main cause of the depression.
Trade, however, has materially improved through
out France.-EurOpean Times.
