What, then, II the meaning OF this!
We are mos lsft to answer this question BY con.
lecture. The same whisper, to which our CORES
pendent alludes, in low but distiact accents, ex-
plains the scanning mystery.
The Northern dsspotisms, especially that Of Aus
tria, have the strongest possible aversion to Eng
church, and 10 less cordially does she hate our
constitutional government In this she sympa thises
with the Prince de Jonville and M. Berryer-repre-
ssntstivcs respectively Of the Orleanst and egiti
mate dynasties in France These personages have
spoken and written, as Austria has acted, in con-
fcrmity with the most intense hatred of Eagland,
her Institutions, sacred and cvil-and, above all,
the broad margin" of her constitution, which ad

the expanding wants and capacities of her people.
They have lost France-both legitimiss aud Oriean-
ists-not, indeed because they hated England, but
because they entertained resctionary ana anti pro-
greeeive notions of which that hatred was the sig

Prince Louis Napoleon on the other hand, has
proved himself TO be neither an ideaist theori
cian-nor q mimic-nor a slave of the past He has
shown on the contrary. the genius Of a practical
statesman, who has studied well the beacons as
the examples afforded by history BE has marked
the course Of dynastic falls well of imperial
successes. He has studied and understood the
spirit of the age His sympathes are all with the
sympathes of England Witness his present policy

desperate foreign refugees, combined with hand
full of domestic frebrands and, the other, by tho
pressure of Austrian and Italian despotism. These

under its Development national prosperity already
begins 10 flourish There Louis Napoleon has cor
daily united the moral weight of his government to
that of the government of England. The two COM

Everywhere else Louis Napoleon has manifested the

the title OF the new Emperor, not to defeat the
title Qor they viii be ready and eager to recognize
it,) but TO SOW the seeds of GOODNESS and disc ord
between the two nations whose good understanding

THE TITLE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON
Paris letter. in the Idependaace of Brussels al
ludDg to the title of Napoleon Iii which it is ex.
pected will be assumed by Louis Napoleon, says
There is analogy, either in ideas, in principles,
or In resolutions between the representative of the
divine right of the Bourbon family and Louis Napo-
leen, demanding bis hit from France. Louis Ma
poleon will therefore call himself Napoleon Ill .
for the same reason which led the brother Of Louis
XVI. to call himself Louis XVIII. Let us see whe
ther there are in ORDER for him assume that title
more motives than those which there were for Louis
XVIII. The son Of Louis XVI languished in prison
from the 2lst January, 1898 to his DEATH under the
government Of the Convention. His right alone ac-
"a go adj i'm L.
and net any act OF the country Of its representa-
tives This, on the contrary. is the way in which
things took place in 1915 for the son of the Empe-
ror. proclamation of the Emperor of the 22d
June, published in the Moaitetr on the sd, an
nouncug his abdicaton, expresses itself thus :-smy
political life is terminated, and proclaim my son
Emperor OF the French. under the title OF Napoleon
II If this act, with the condition of the abiica-
tion, had remained personal to the Emperor, and
had not been accepted by the country it might
only be cor sidered as wish and an intention not
followed by effect, as has since happened under
other circums ances Ii is important therefore, to
see how il was confirmed and sanctioned. The EN-
Percr addressed on the same day, (the 22d) his
proclamation. In the form OF a message, to the two
Chambers Both Of hem accepted his abdication
unanimously, in the terms expressed by him, and
sent commissions, seected from their respective
bodies TO inform him otfi .ally their resolutions
The Emper0r's reply 10 these commissions was,
ssIf have handed the right which France has
given me 10 my son. while am alive, / have only
done II for the welfare of the nation, and for tae
interest of my son. whom / have accordingly pro-
claimed Emperor" Thus was Napoleon Ii pro-
claimed in the face of the official delegates Of the
two Chambera The Chamber Of Representatives
decided, the 22d, after having accepted the
abdcaiicn that q commission of the provisional GO
vernment should be named, This commission, CON-
posed Of five members three elected by that cham
berthe Duke of Otranto, Cannot, and General
Greuier; and two by the Chamber of Peers-De
Caulincourt, Duke de Vicenzs, and Qunette. In
the sittngs of tie 22d ard 23d numerous PROPOSE
tions were made and developed. At the end of the
latter sitting, the Chamber of Representatives
adopted the following resolution CT copy literally
from the lIonutw of the 9th June, 1885, page 725,
the text CT the resolution and the account of the
vote 1.-THE Chamber of Representatives delibe-
rating the different propositions made passes to
the order of the day mo!tce l, Napoleon H. hay
ing become Emperor by the abdication Of Napoleon
l. and the constitution of the empire, and the two
chambers having, by their decree of yesterday nom-
mating commission of provisional government, de-
sired to give TO the nation the guarantees which it
requires for its liberty and repose the present act
shall be transmitted to the Chamber of Peers The
proposition was adopted unanimously A loud and
prolonged cry Of piUe PEmpereur, followed the an
ncuncenent On the same day the Chamber of
Peers adhered to the resolution IL is thus clearly
shown that the Chamber Of Representatives, in
nominating provisional government, only intended
to organize a means of administration. Napoleon
ii. was Emperor.
