one which alone, he said in his address at the Tu-
ileries the 9th March, might make it necessary
for him to ask the people by another vote to place
irrevocably upon his head an imperial crown. To
be sure, if the Royalist parties did not afford him
this pretext he might seek it, he might presume it
and assert it to exist and the result in six months
would be the same, with only this difference, that
LOUIS NAPOLEON the crown upon his head, may with
more truth and much pausbility plead the necessity
produced by the ceaseless agtations Of parties The
injudicious letter Of the Count of CHAMBoRD has
caused decided show of hostility among the Legti
mists and at the present moment there is a great
clamor about fusion that is to say reconciliation
OF the rival Bourbon families, and union of their
efforts to prevent if possible the proclamation Of
the Empire in France and that failing, to prevent
Its consolidation This fusion is, rely upon it, i'm
practicable, There are no stronger reasons for it
now than there were during the Republic, from
February l848, to December, 1851 There are
even less inducements for then hearty sincere union
of effort might have caused them to triumph now it
would most certainly fail 1t did not take place prior
toDecember 1851 because in fact the fusion Of those
parties is, under the actual construction of human
nature, an unnatural, an impossible thing. But it
is not the less for all that the prominent topic Of
public thought this week The most accredited organ of
the Orleans faction after the Dsbas which maintains
prudent reserve, is Brussels paper, the Independence
Beige This paper always speaks cathedra upon ques
tons touching the Orleans family and what it says may
be considered authentic. Its last number, yesterday
evenings, this moment arrived in Paris, says:
There is also, at the present moment than ever
question of the fusion of the two branches of the Bourbon
family and God knows what commentaries are uttered
and what stories less absurd put into crcula

Your correspondent has often given his views upon
this subject for it to be necessary for him say
now and he only audes it here to report faithful
chronicer its renewed agitation, and signaze the effect
it is to have in fastening and ustifyng the coming
changes in favor Of imperial dynasty The Imperalis
sheet the Pays thus improves the present ladvsed ag
tation Of the Royaist parties:
Now what says this paper the old parties doing
when they act thus They are--let say it boldly
they producing the Empire. The real Imperialists
not the persons generally called There mpe
rasts who without knowing it, and still without
wishing it, rendering inevitable what they would
doubtless value much less than the actual regime. Let

this patriotic and sedenyng proposition what par

pare the monarchy is make the republic impossible
and tie empire inevitable"
The writer then quotes and commends to the perusal
and meditation of the Monarchists several passages of
the address of the Prince above referred to- and thus
concludes:
"We have often said that the Empire could only be
necessity, and never pretension or whim We have
not at present either to prove the existence of this neces
sity nor to exaggerate it. nor to precpitate it. 1t will
be written when its hour shall have come in the conduct
of parties and in the will of France"

read in the Aonaew Of this morning the following
note touching the marked retrograde movement now
taking place in Spain, with which the recent visit Of
high French functionary to Madrid supposed to be
connected 1t is also published doubtless as reply to
the illusions Of foreign influences lately made in the
British Parliament touching the constitutional
denotes Of Queen IsABELLAs Government OF course no
confidence whatever is inspired by this disclaimer Qm
trompet-Oui is the first exclamation of all who read it,
having in mind the many instances in which even less
equivocal assertions have been promptly contradcted
by facts:
Ceran foreign journals persstng in their systematic
hostility to the Government Of the of the
Republic reproach him with exercising at Madrid at the
present moment influence contrary to the maintenance
Of the Constitution This charge Is destitute of the
slightest foundation. The French Government is too
Jealous Of its own independence not respect that Of
others and it would violate its principles Of action
by interfering at all in the internal affairs Of Spain"
There are ceremonies taking place now daily all over
