The mission Of M. Hcckeren to Vienna is still
the cause Of much gossip in political circles; and
amidst all the contradictory versions which are
ported, am perfectly confident that tho Envoy of
Louis Napoleon to the northern powers of Europe
has not received the answer he desired to the ques
tons placed before Che eyes Of Nicholas and
Francois, during his interview with them. II is
afact that the Gear Of Russia though much in favor
with the President Of France, has not given his full
consent to tho wishes of Louis Napoleon. l had
been told that he had consented, without any re-
striction, to tho proclamation Of the Empire in
France. 1t was not so; and the best proof of his
refusal is, that the Monitem, few days ago,
published article, in which it is said that seve-
raj newspapers are making efforts to give the i'm

events, have formed u coalition similar to that Of
1915, and determined beforehand tho limits beyond
which France would not be allowed to change her
government. These rumors are false. Tho events
alluded to- which arc the pretext for these articles
have probability whatever. France is enjoying
the utmost quetness All the foreign powers are
entertaining with her tho most friendly terms, and
they never had any intention to minglo with the
interior government Of the country. They know
well that France should have her rights respected,
as she respects others rights. These rights are
neither threatened nor contested" &c. The above
language may be, no doubt called check
for the imperalist party, for it denies that there
to assume new ttle-that Of Emperor. Welive
at an epoch when politics are growing out of
daily occurrences: and no doubt that NJ Hcckcren's
visit to Vienna has somewhat changed, not per-
haps, the wishes and designs Of the Prince Presi-
dent but the way he intends taking to reach his
aim Well, for the present, provided no event takes
place which will force Louis Napoleon to enter into
new action, Notwithstanding the ll-wishes of
Russia, Austria, and other powers, we shall keep
the republican form of government.
The Legislative Corps began, yesterday, to discuss
the project Of law relative to the total settlement of
the bills Of 1913 and 1919 was told that several
members of that house had decided that they would
express much blame on the financial disorders of
these too much to be lamcnted years but the ma
jority Of the Legislative Corps showed themselves
wiser than their colleagues and it was deemed pru
dent not to awaken souvenirs which were of an irr
tating nature, and, am sure, from what hear,
that forgiveness of the past viii be given to the
acts OF the provisional government
Many rumors anoat that the government is
on the of publishing DEGREES relative to sumptl
airy laws, as, for instance, a tax on carriages,
horses, and dogs-an augmentation of the duties
on brandy, and also q modification of the tax
on salt, BY which the produce and revenue would BIO
augmented.
Another rumor anoat, worthy being mentioned,
n m al fhn fr11JS and
mat NJ DC Lavalette was to become Minister of
Public Affairs. All the other ministers wonld send
their designations, with the exception of NJ de Per-
signy, who would become the Minister of State.
Thisis only rumor, which has, perhaps, no folul-
dalton.
The law on public instruction, which was threa.
tened by the opposition of Nj. de Montalembert and
his friends, and had been violently criticised at the
Council Of State, has not precisely been withdrawn
but retired from circulation, in order to be revised
The political machayels, who are discovering a
private and deep meaning in everything, arc an
no,ncing that this is but NEE coicrn,s,c from the
government, and that NJ. Fortoul has thus revised
a check, which will he dead blow to his reign at
tho Ministry of Public Instruction.
The greatest severity is now in vigor against tho
newspapers. either published in France or on its
frontiers This week the Independence Beige has
been stopped for three times at the post office,
account OF the publication Of several articles, the
contents OF which were considered injurious to the
government. In the provinces of France the
10tnndnI are daily overhaued by the Projects and
Sous Preiects, even for the most innocent para.
graphs; and many of the Swiss, Piedmontese and
German papers, have been altogether stopped at
the frontiers. Thus it may be seen that the free
dom fthe press is entirely muzzled and that every
means are taken to rcprcss the publication of facts
not totally in favor Of the government.
have already spoken Of a projected decree which
will order the closing of shops and offices of every
city, village, and hamlet, on Sundays. 1t is said
that the Asseu,ble Natioaoic, L. Union, lie Public,
and La Gazette dc France, have decided that for the
future they will not appear on that day, and thus
keep the Sabbath.
n aropoSo Of 5ommanr-Thc news Of the lowering Of
the price of subscription of the Nontew Unipeisei,
and Of its direction by tho government has caused
much CONSERVATION in the offices Of the Constitutions
mel and La Pdtrie Both complaining Of ingra-
titude from kouis Napoleon and his ministers. 1t is
q fact that the loss will be immense.
France and England are on the eve Of settling, in
company with PRUSSIA. Holland, and Piedmont,
treaty Of extradition which is much demanded by
each Ct these countries
The letter of General Leho which has at last been
published by the Constitutional, and other news
papers, has created as much sensation as those of
Generals LamOricere and Changarnier, and the il
usfrous general refuses, well his contemporaries,
to take the oath of allegiance to the government of
Louis Napoleon, by which he says he has been
treated with great roughness, and contempt Of his
high position.
At Lyons. the distribution OF the students to the
troops has been made by General de Castelanne the
COMMUNICATIVE Chief of the Eastern Departments Of
France. This ceremony, which took place on the
3lst inst, (Monday ast,) favored with very fine
weather, and was the occasion Of much pleasure in
the city. Several speeches were delivered, and
military display of horsemanship and shamfght
was given to the public in the large place called the
Hyppodrome. letter received yesterday from
Ly ons, which was shown to me, assures that the
thusiasm was not great, and that the only thing
it was considered advisable to take was pleasure.
The news received from Algiers announces that
General Macmahon commandcr-in-chef of the
army of invasion of the Kabyle country. in the
mountainous land of the Atlas encountered u large
body of Arabs on the 23d ult., and defeated them
These sons ofthe desert, whose commander was the
famed Sheriff Bou-Seba, cut to pieces, and
there were among them $50 men killed or wounded
whilst in the ranks OF the French army there were
but five men killed and fifty wounded Sixteen
villages or hamlets, built with stones and bricks
were burned and the trees cut down to The roo
No doubt that these Arabs will soon see That the
only way of being bappy is to submit TO France
