The Journal, in referring to the recent
coup d'etat OF Louis Napoleon. says it
more than suspects a foreign agency in
that movement. Absolutism being the
motive power.
The English and French papers are fill
led completely with French news. The

want of heart manifested in defending

leaders, though appealing to the People
both in the names Of Law and Socialism,

LOUIS NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE.
The Project Of Police addressed a proc
lamation to the citizens Of Paris, exhorting
them to calmness and order.
The President appeared in the streets
on Tuesday, and was received with re-
spect. but without enthusiasm. 'Viye la
Republique" was the only cry uttered by
the people. No attempts were made TO
repress the expression, and the attitude OF
the troops was calm and firm.
In one of the proclamations issued by
the President it is stated that the Assembly,
instead Of employing itself in the taking
care of the interests Of the people, had
only become the theatre OF conspiracies
and plots against him.
In an address to the army, Bonaparte
