Spdsa-IM Emperor Of Austria, &c., &c.
The steeple chase Of Louis Napoleon, the stakes
OF which are n ministry, still continues II
was rumored during the last days, that the Bona
partists and legitimists had united 10 help Louis
Napoleon-that Nsssrs. Benoiss d'Ansy and de
Crousoilhes, the leaders Of tho logmst party, had
consented to form part Of the cabinet; but this has
been denied. This morning, am told that the
new ministry is decidedly formed, and will appear
in to-morrow's Monaaw, 50 that you will publish
the list before my letter 10 put in type
1t is to be hoped that this state of things will
soon have an end for the whole country is in great
excitement. Whilst these maneuvres are used by
the Elysee emissaries sent among the ouvriers
to obtain their appreciation and to induce
them to rank in the party of Bonapar-
lists. Poverty Is extreme in the suburbs of
Paris; and the persons who are at the head
of the propaganda, represent to the workmen
that the only way to find end to their misery, is
to vote in favor of the Propagation. They also say
that if the President has not yet put into practice
all the brilliant theories which he has invented and
published in his works, it is only because he has
been prevented by the i'll wishes of the Assembly;
but should he be elected for the ten years to come,
the people will become happy and rch, -france will
become the land beloved by gods and men. Despite
all these promises, the workmen, who prefer 'bird
in the hand to two in the bush, are not much in
favor Of the propagation. The caonmgs OesD has
begun in the factories, and many manufacturers Of
bronze, sandal shoes, and upholstery, have dis
missed the largest number of their onuriers. 1t is
said that the national printing Office will soon dis
miss seventy printers and compositors. What will
become of all these idle men? No doubt they will
rank among the socialists, whose deuding promises
are entcing than all those of the Decm,histes.
All these prospects are very frightful and one
who looks at the political horizon Of France cannot
but be alarmed for the future.
The news from behind the scenes, at the Elysee,
is not Of much importance, and of course, does not
offer much interest Louis Napoleon has been in
vited to several dinner parties by his .ual minis
tiers, and the last Of these galas took place at the
house of the Minister of the Navy, where Nj.
Valiant and his lady displayed magnifcent Injuries.
A very curious fact to be noticed is, that the
apartments which were formerly occupied in the
chateau of Vincennes by the Duke Of Montpenser,
National Guard aftor the disarming of tho Partisan
militia, are restored, aftor having been
paired in the most elegant manner. This has been
the cause OF many commentaries in the political
circles, and it is believed that the project Of tho
President, in case he should meet with any unfoEo-
mishap in 1882 would BIO to retire to that fort,
and threaten from there the whole city.
The Legislative Assembly has not done much
during the past week. Tho only important vote 10
that on the National Guard, which, despite tho in
trigue of tho Montague, will not be rejected, and
will be discussed legally in a short time.
There great excitement in the House yes
terday, about the demand made by Nj. dc Santo
Beuve, requesting the Assembly to agree upon
taking a vacation Of fortnight, viz. from this
day TIL the 22d instant. After long struggle,
during which it was said, with much reason, that it
was not an opportune moment to leave the House,
when the good" ministry had not been selected,
the representatives decided that there would be
short vacation OF week, to begin from the 18th
Instant and to finish on tho 22d. This is enough.
The long expected book of MIR. Romieu, entitled
"Le Spectre uge'-the Red Ghost-has been issued
Mt last, and has created much sensation, though it is
an exaggerated description of tho evils Of socialism
and communism. The author of this pamphlet has
deeply entered into his subject aud hi. book reveals
the danger of adopting the principles of Fourier
and his partisans. Unfortunately, such is the actual
position of France, that there but two means to
get out of the labyrinth in which we are and they
are, either to take the side Of socialism that Of
legitimacy. We forcibly driven either to live
under the reign Of terrorism. plumber, and assass
nation to call Henry the V. and all the Bourbon
family with him. The FUSION" as it is called by
our politicians, will soon be an accomplished fact;
and then, may say sort Of safety will be offered
to the honest people, Who fortunately are quite nu-
merous in France, and Of such strength as to resist
the mob
The only thing to be regretted is tha honest
people are not united enough to oppose the food OF
socialism The clergymen are themselves some
what in favor of these promoters OF disorder. We
much astonished on Sunday last, TO hear IN
the church of No.re Dame, the Rev. Abbot M. La
cordaire say that he was in favor of those who
had no money standing in society, and opposed
TO the insolent aristocracy Ct science and geld"
Speaking NJ Christian, M. dc Lacordairc was
AZ
cal moment, may shy that he was totally wrong.
MIR. de Lamartine has decidedly hoisted anew the
flag Of moderate republicanism. The journal lie
Pegs. which was formerly edited bya society of
writers devoted to the Elyscc, having stopped its
publication, NJ. dc Lamartne, associated with NJ
de Ia Guerronnicre, formerly chief reporter of III
iresse yesterday took possession OF the eatorlai
department Of that newspaper. The line which will
be followed by the ex member OF tho provisional go
vermont of 1913, will he that of moderation,
though he will be in favor of the Elysee and Loais
Napoleon.
Ii will be remembered that in 1911, M. Teste,
minister Of Louis Philippe, sentenced to prison
and to fine Of 100000 francs, (of which he paid
the half), for having been convicted Of corruption
in public affairs. This sentence, by order OF the go
ycrnmcnt, has been revised, aud the prisoner res
tored to liberty and also exempted from paying
the second part Of the fine. This forgiveness Of ~
just punishment has been considered as very UNI
wise, and has been the cause of much gossip
1t is decided that an expedition against toe wild
tribes OF Arabs in the southwest part of kabilie
shall take place in a few moaths. Ii is said that
the views OF Louis Napoleon, in obtaining from his
ministry consent for this war, has been to favor
some pefson Of his ciIOurage, viz; NJ fleury, Of
.fccr Of ordinance, to the Presidency, and furnish
him just occasion to obtain higher rank in tho
amy. This il quite right; but this expedition will,
perhaps, COS. our army much injury.
The news that arrived last night from Spain, an
,rounces that the Cortcz elected last year under
the influence of the Nayaez ministry, were dis
missed on the It'll instant. II IA nearly certain that
the next elections will bring forth majority cont
posed Of men quite different to those selected by
the last corrupted ministry Of Queen Isabella.
The Emperor Of Austria has rc;urncdto Vienna
without visiting Loinbardy, as be intended to do.
IL Is said that ii lie had gone 10 Milan, the intention
Of the whole population OF that city TO abandon
their houses as long as the Emperor remained. In
the meantime. the Common Council Of Milan hal,
in advance, sent their resignation to tho hands OF
the General Governor. How strange /; Is that VII
emma gave such rcce ption to tho Emperor,
whilst Milan prepared for him one Of the bittcrest
insults ever given TO q crowned head
In Greece, during the absence Of Kin, Ohio, the

and this state of things furnishes occasion to all
