serious aspect Between this time and
May, 1852, there will be a great politi.
cal change there, and il is not improba-
BILE that the occurrences which are to
take place will affect the destiny Of Eu-
rope for half century to come. France
cannot remain rs she is she must eth
er become Republic in tact-a true
Republic, or she must go back TO Mon
archial misrule, and we fear that neith-
er can be accomplished without terri
bic and most bloody revolutionary strug-
gle. The people ofFrance are strange
ly divided and subdivided into political
factions. They dethroned Louis Phil
lippe, and fought well for their liberty,
and they expected TO free themselves
from oppression and TO be blessed with
good Republican government, similar
in principle and operation TO that Of the
United States. Blu, they have been
sadly disappointed. In an evil hour
they were bcguilcd by the magic roten-
cy Of a name, and elected man who
was not even the ghost of their Napol-
con To the Presidency. From the COM
mencement this man has shown himself
10 be weak, selfish and wickedly ambit-
ious, without the ability to govern n
small village. and without tie shrewd
ness TO conceal lis knavery.
Many ol those who favor n revision
Of the Constitution are bitterly opposed
to the reelection OF Louis Napoleon. II
he attempts to continue in office, not
withstanding the provisions of the Con-
stitution, there will inevitably he tre-
mendcus struggle, in which the blood Of
thousands will be shed. A portion Of
the army will probably stand by him,
bu, many Of the troops will desert him,
and all the moderate politicians will OPP
pose him. The Bourbon faction will
probably remain quiet observers ofrass-
ing eyents. at least for the present, and
wait for fitting moment for action
The working men Of Paris are enraged
10 fearful degree, and they will oppose
the re election or continuance of Louis
Napoleon in over in any form, to the
bitter end, aid they will fight desper-
ntcly. The heroes Of the barricades of
'4S will again be active, and their exc
cutlon will be terrific they will have
the advantage and benefit of the Gen.
eraiship Of Cavaignac and Lamoriciere,
and that will be Of great service to
them. On the other hand, Louis Ma
poleon will not passvely retire from the
power which he has so outrageously
abus I'd, but he will use his position
and all the means which he can COM
mand to put down the people, and to
perpetuate himself in office. The strug.
gle will not commence by degrees. The
elements lave been in motion for the
last two years, and everything is rap
idly maturing for the conflict, and
when all things are ready the storm
will break even more suddenly than j,
did in February '4s.
The frst blow thar 8 struck will 60
with electric speed 10 Austria, Prussia
and Italy and the people of those king
doms are only waiting for the flame TO
be kindlcd in France, when they will be
ready for action, --and all Europe will
again be wild with the fire of Rcvolu'
ton. Where all this will end, no man
can now predict second revolutions are
always better arranged and more san
culinary than Fl ST ones, because rulers
are always more despotic, and the peo-
pie are exasperated and desperate; after
a failure in struggle lor liberty. The
ewes OF the whole world will be turned
anxiously upon France, during the ensu-
ing cigh, months.
