pations Of the progress Of Louis Napoleon to en-
pire, and Of the firm establishment Of his regime in
France, and Of despotism throughout the continent
OF Europe. II was only on Tuesday We expressed
those views st length, in an article presenting q
historical parallel of the two Napoleons. The next
day brought intelligence confrmatery Of all tina.
We had indicated as probable. The usurper has
installed himself in the palace Of the Tuileries he
is about to take the title of Emperor; and We are
informed he would have already taken it, but from
prudential considerations, which suggested that he
nigh. be going on little too fast, and also
from the difficulty OF determining what to
call himself whether Nap oleon II. or Napoleon
III. The title will, therefore, be dispensed with
for the present, but no doubt will be assumed in
very short time. The coins are to bear mis- eligy
and name the orders Of tho hereditary nobility are
to be re-established; and an oath Of allegiance to
the person Of the Dictator is to be administered TO
every sficial. Thus the elect of the uation-6rst
by elk millions of votes, and secondly by seven IL
lions and half-has completely triumphed, his
coiq eta. Of the ID Of December is ratified, ard
his government is established by the voice of the
people, to whom he has given universal suffrage
and vote by ballo. by the arstocracy, to whom he
will restore their lost titles and rank and by the
coiI dial friendship of the army, which he has sue
ceeded IN dazzling with fatterv, with honors and
distinctions, and Tith promises ct revival of the
military glory Of the empire of his uncle.
Sosecurely IKE in power do the popular organs Of
opinion in Lordon consider him, that they are speak
iug with favor of expected triple alliance between
him and England and the United States, against
the dreaded encroachments OF Russia and Aus
frto pal
signed Office on his account, is confidently talked Of
as being about to resume it, no. merely as Minister
o. Foreign Affairs but as Premier in order to facil-
tate this very alliance. How opposed is this to the
theory of Kossuth, who has all along anticipated
the overthrow Of Louis Napoleon as the very FIRST
necessity He is now courtedb by the English press,
because his IorEanence is m fat accompl-an az
conplishcd fact and they are in rather ticklisb
state of apprehension of the possibility of French
invasion. But very different alliance may be ex.
pec.ed on the par of the Prince-an alliance with
the dsspots of Europe against the principle. OF H.
berty and true repu.icanisn, wherever they dare
to show themselves.

Sentiment, ard that the ruin of Louis Napoleon is

has row begun to feel it's power will sustain as their
head any new despot of this military empire. The
violent death of julius Caesar by the dagger of
Brutua did not restore liberty and the republic to
the Romans. Another tyrant succeeded, and ano
ther; and though two thousand years have elapsed
Rome has not ye. seen tho first dawn of freedom.
Another revolution in France, and tina. i'm ne.
diGtely, is the basis on which Kossuth builds his
pyramid Of European liberty, and particularly the
Independence Of Hungary. gu. il is ouaiasion
of sand; and what then becomes Of the super
structure! In his speech at Harrisburg, and,
indeed, in sll his speeches, the Magyar orator
betrays an utter ignorance of French politics,
French parties, and the French people. He ap-
pears to be but little better informed about the
state Of Germany In truth, he is not man Of
he world, or practical statesman. He is a mere
student, who spins fine theories in his closet but,
VIXEN the touchstono Of prac.icabil.y is applied to
them, they vanish like the baselels fabric Of
vision. lie has never been in France, and knows
nothing OF the character of its inhabitants. He
argues from the revolution in 1913 the certainty of
revolution in 1852. Why, the former event was
an accident, according TO his sho wing; and an
accident is but poor basis for certain and ia
evissble future event. Ii is maxim Of philosophy
that what has happened once nqy happen again;
but wo have yet TO learn that it is in accordance
either with history, logic, or experience, that be-
cause On accident happened in z arts four years
ago, similar accident must necessarily happen
in the present year. Now, Il strikes US that
sound reasoning would lead to a conclusion the
very reverse. If revolution had not hap.
pened in ls4s, the probability Of revolution
now would be infinitely greater. That coup
dt.m is worn ou.-the actors are passG-a1d
it will not DO TO Play the same drama so soon
again. Something new, with 80 volatile people
Gs the French, has far better chance Of success.
AS Kossuth remarks, the revolution, in lSis,
came upon tie whole werll, and the French pc ople
themselves, ty surprise. This proves it was an
accident. What arc she facts and circumstances
connected with it,

people prospered. They were contented, and ne yer
