Monarchy in France.

We have been furnished with a document;
published in French, which, If irne, betrays u
most infamous secret. II stated that prior TO the
Election Of December l0lh 1913, a treaty was
executed at Madrid, and ratified at London and
Naples, by which Louis Napoleon pledged him
seIfto the establishment Of monarchy in France.
in favor of such persons as should be Designated
by Congress of Northern Nations, Of which
Russia was to have the lead. BY this treaty
Louis Philippe, the Queen of Spain, and the
King of Naples, engaged to raise Louis Napn
Icon to the Presidency Of tho French Republic,
from which position he was to operate against
the republic and in case he should not obtain
he throne Of France, he was to be ST cured a
capital of 2j0000,000 iiacs, with the title o.
Prince. The document sets forth i hlso yof
facts and Vaccinations, to prove that the conduct
of Louis Napoleon since his elevation to the
Presidency. fully sustains the probability of suci
nefarous treaty.

Romance of Achils' Escape,

We intimated last week, that Achili's liberia,
ton was not to be regarded as an " escape " in
the ordinary sense attached to that word: we
have since learned that the French authorities
at Rome sent a party Of soldiers to escort him
frori the castle Of St. Angelo, under the pretext
,hst his evidence was required at court.mar-
tial. On leaving the prison, he was immediate
" clothed in the uniform of French soldier,
and marched to Civita Veccha, where he was
put on board war steamer. and at once convey
ed to Tonlon, from which place he proceeded to
Paris. 1t will BIZ evident, that private friendship
could not have effected such an escape" as this,
and probably all the authorities concerned re.
garded IL necessary to get out Of difficulty
with as little appearance of formality as posi-
be. On Tuesdly, the 10Th ut.. n meeting of
Christian Friends was being held in Paris, at the
house of Rev. And"ph Monod, 70 decide on re
newed and more bold efforts for the liberation Of
Achlli. though no one entertained very san.

whose release they scarcely vcntured 10 antic-

them in their devout thanksgiving to God -
How naturally this reminds one of the incident

Review of the Week,

Response 10 Mr.. Hebster.- Since The issue of

that state we knew would not sustain MIN, and
it Is quite uncertain whether any of the wall do
so,
The speech Of Mr.. Fowler is sensible, and
vigorous, and it is obvious that parts of it are
intended to furnish reply to certain portions
Of Mr.. Webser's argument Mr.. Webster has
said that the proviso If incorporated into a bill
for New Mexico would be n taunt to the South,
and that New Mexico needed no proyiso 10
keep her free. Mr.. Fowler does not appear TO
be in the least convinced by such authority.
He says:
." The complaint that, by applying it to New
Mexico would be taunt to the South, comes
with no good grace from the counseors of

am resolved to apply the proviso to that ter
rltory, not to injure any ones feelings, nor to
wound any ones pride, but because it is consti.

practical and prudential measure. The upplIca.
