HoU Louis Napoleon Became Pres
ident.-The New York Sun has been
furnished with a document, published
in France, which, iftrue, betrays most
Infamous secret. 1t states, that, prior to
the Election of December 10th, 1S4S, a
treaty was executed at Madrid, and rat
flied at London and Naples, by which
LOUIS NAPOLEON pledged himself to the
establishment of monarchy in France, in
favor of such person as should be desig-
mated by Congress of Northen Nations,
of which Russia was to have the lead.
By this treaty LOUIS PHILIPPE. the Queen
of Spain, and the King Of Naples, en-
gagged to raise LOUIS NAPOLEON to the
Presidency of the Franch Republic, from
which position he was to operate against
the republic, and in case he should not
obtain the throne of France, he was to be
secured capital of $50, 600, 900 francs,
with the title of Prince. The document
sets forth history of facts and machina-
tions, to prove that the conduct of Louis
NAPOLEON since his elevation to the Pres
idency, fully sustains the PROBABILITY o:
such nefarious treaty. In connection
with this matter, we might mention that
the Washington correspondent of the
Pennsyluanian stated, few days since,
that letter from NJ. PoUssIN had been
received in the capital. in which the ex-
minister expressed his belief, that LOUIS
NAPOLEON was becoming insane, as il
was rumored that he was about resigninp
the Presidency in favor of The Due de
Bordeaux. the only surviving heir of the
elder Bourbons.

The Sea Serpent Again----Attempt 10 Capture
Him

The Charleston Mercury has letter
from Beaufort, S. c., giving further ac-
counts of the movements of the Sea Ser
pent recently seen in that vicinity, from
which we extract the following:
1.-The report of Captain Blakenship, and
passengers, has been verified by many
other witnesses. This formidable sea
monster has been seen again, to-day, we
understand in our waters. When discov-
cred by those on board the steamer, 'his
eminence' was in Port Royal Sound, a
distance of seven or eight miles from this
town. Since that time he has been lazily
making his way up Broad river, and was
seen by gentlemen we understand to-day
IN Whale Branch river, an arm of the
Broad. He is reported TO be making his
way up higher still, when, perhaps, he
may be captured. He is described as be-
ing from l2O to $50 feet in length and of
proportionate bulk; has the head of a SER
pent, which he carries, when in motion
five or six feet out of water; about ten feet
from his head is lump, resembling
huge hogshead, and as far as he could be
seen out of the water, a succession of
Jumps was observed . He was pursued
for several miles along the bank of the
river, at times the party in pursuit coming
very near him. He was shot at with
rifle and shot gun. which had the effect Of
making him timid, and caused him 10 sink
below the surface of the water when near
ly approached. We understadd that
party from this place has been..made up to
capture him if possible. The plan is to
man two large flats, with cannon TO each
one going below where he is represented
be TO and the other above.and then approach
each other, and when he is discovered to
fire into him. In this way he may be ta-
ken, fperadventure, he does not take them
first. The Whale Branch is not more
than one hundred yards wide, and there is
every probability of an animated conflict
with this king of the waters, within his
own Gominions.
